The Brown Charm School

2012-05-03 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy stopped babbling and started crying, she needed changing.

Logan flinched a little and looked at Ivy. He hated it when she cried.

2012-05-03 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "Oh, really?" Joanna asked again, "Drama queen." She said, kissing Ivy's forehead and going to a back room to change her. She talked to Ivy the entire time.

2012-05-03 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy stopped crying when she was changed then she started babbling to Joanna.

2012-05-03 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna talked right back to her, and not baby talk, just normal talking. She smiled a little, "Can you say Dada?"

2012-05-03 [Cerulean Sins]: "Mama."Ivy smiled then she continued on babbling.

2012-05-03 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna chuckled a little, "What about Dada?"

2012-05-03 [Cerulean Sins]: "Mama."Ivy said over and over again.

2012-05-03 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna chuckled a little and tickled her, then picked her up and walked back out to finish eating.

2012-05-07 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy giggled loudly when she got tickled. She clung to Joanna when she got picked up.

Bliss woke up sometime later when she heard Alistair crying. She jolted out of bed and ran to the crib to find it empty."Alistair..."She whispered and ran out of the room as fast as she could. Her body was still sore from giving birth to her son yesterday. She clutched her stomach as she jogged down the stairs. 

2012-05-07 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna sat down again, "There, happy baby."

"Shh...Shhh..."Brandon said as he attempted to change Alistair for the first time, "Come on, you're going to wake up Mommy."

2012-05-07 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy cuddled Joanna."Mama."She giggled.

Bliss walked across into the living room to find Brandon on the floor changing Alistair."Brandon..."She whispered as she knelt next to him.

2012-05-07 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris smiled a little, kissing her forehead.

Brandon look at her, "Hi...I tried to do it fast."

2012-05-07 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy gave Joanna a big sloppy kiss on her chin.

Bliss smiled softly."It's okay sweetie."She kissed his cheek. She looked down at Alistair."Now what are you crying about, huh?"She tickled his belly and smiled when Alistair's cries turned to giggles.

2012-05-07 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna smiled a little, "Well thank you."

Brandon relaxed and finished getting their son dressed after changing him, "I'll get better at that."

2012-05-07 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy cuddled Joanna.

Bliss smiled and nodded."You will, sweetie." She leaned against Brandon."I'm going to visit Iris in a wee while. I shan’t be long."

2012-05-07 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna looked at Logan.

Brandon nodded a little, "Alright, you have fun."

2012-05-07 [Cerulean Sins]: Logan finished eating and looked over at Joanna."I think Ivy is being a little cuddle monster."

"I promised her I'd take Alistair with me." Bliss said as she picked up Alistair."We're going to see Auntie Iris and Uncle Quinny."She smiled and moved and sat on Brandon's lap."Husband cuddles."She smiled at Brandon.

2012-05-08 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna smiled a little, nodding, "Yes she is."

Brandon held her close, "Alright, I'll go work the cattle while you're gone." He said with a slight nod.

2012-05-08 [Cerulean Sins]: "She called you mama."Logan said.

Bliss cuddling to Brandon."Okay." She kissed his jaw.

2012-05-08 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "Yes she did." Joanna nodded a little, she didn't really know what to say.

Brandon smiled a little and kissed her lightly.

2012-05-08 [Cerulean Sins]: Logan nodded."And she's right. Your pretty much her mother/nanny."


Bliss kissed him back.

2012-05-08 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna smiled a little, "Something like that I guess."

Brandon smiled, "Love you."

2012-05-08 [Cerulean Sins]: Logan smiled and nodded."And it's really cute too."

Bliss smiled."I love you too."She nuzzled her nose to his.

2012-05-08 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "Of course it's cute... it's Ivy." Joanna giggled a little.

Brandon smiled, kissing her nose.

2012-05-08 [Cerulean Sins]: Logan chuckled.

Bliss smiled softly then her smile turned sad."Promise me that we'll still have time for each other."

2012-05-08 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna leaned down and kissed Ivy's forehead.

Brandon smiled softly, "Of course we will."

2012-05-08 [Cerulean Sins]: Logan smiled then chuckled when Ivy kissed Joanna's chin.

"But...we have Alistair now so it won't be the same."Bliss frowned. She just noticed this right now and it upset her a little.

2012-05-08 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna smiled a little.

Brandon chuckled, "Of course it wont be the same, but I promise it wont be anything less then what we had."

2012-05-08 [Cerulean Sins]: Logan poured himself a cup of coffee."Would you like some coffee, Joanna?"

Bliss smiled a little because now she felt really silly."Promise?"

2012-05-08 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "Mmm, please." Joanna nodded

Brandon smiled, "Love does not divide, it only grows."

2012-05-08 [Cerulean Sins]: Logan poured another cup of coffee."Cream? Sugar?"

Bliss melted a little."Oh Brandon..."She breathed softly and smiled.

2012-05-08 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "A little of both please." Joanna said as she cleaned Ivy's hands

Brandon just grinned, "See, I can still come up with sappy stuff."

2012-05-08 [Cerulean Sins]: Logan nodded and added a wee bit of cream and sugar into her coffee. He smiled when he heard Ivy babbling to herself."She really is a Llewellyn, she doesn't shut up."He chuckled.

Bliss giggled softly."Aw Brandon."She shook her head and kissed his cheek.

2012-05-11 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna smiled a little, "That's very true." She smirked at him.

Brandon grinned and kissed her cheek gently.

2012-05-11 [Cerulean Sins]: Logan looked at Joanna."Ha ha ha funny." He chuckled.

Bliss smiled brightly as she rubs Alistair's back gently. She has never felt so happy in her whole life than she does now.

2012-05-11 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna just giggled a little and looked at Ivy.

Brandon kissed Alistair's forehead gently, holding Bliss closer.

Ivy had taken her bath, gotten dressed and done her hair, and went on with her daily chores. Now that it was around lunch time, she was finally starving. She pulled the rest of the ham out of their cold box storage outside. She was walking from the cellar doors back to the house now, eating the ham cold on her way to the porch, and humming a little.

2012-05-11 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy was still babbling to herself as she cuddles Joanna.

"Everything is just so perfect."Bliss whispered with a smile.

Quinn was at his father's office, where most of his brothers worked. He was busy checking over the books from last quarter.

2012-05-11 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna smiled a little and cuddled her closer, "My little girl."

Brandon nodded a little, "Yes it really is."

Ivy walked to the house, still eating some of the ham, still humming and wondering if it would be a boy or a girl.

2012-05-11 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy grabbed Joanna's hair and tugged on it.

"Sweetie could you take Alistair and put him in the cot then help me up?"Bliss asked. She had asked Brandon to make cots for each room in the house.

2012-05-11 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "Hey, no pulling hair." She said firmly, but not meanly. Joanna knew that Ivy would get, in time, that pulling hair was not ok. As it was, she was a little too young to really understand.

Brandon nodded a little, "Of course." He smiled and stood, gently taking Alistair.

2012-05-11 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy kept on pulling Joanna's hair as she giggles and babbles to herself.

Bliss smiled."Thank you sweetie. I guess I'm still a little sore from yesterday."

2012-05-11 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna took Ivy's hand from her hair and said more firmly, "No Ivy."

Brandon nodded a little, "I'm sure you are.. Are you sure you want to go to Ivy's?"

2012-05-12 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy frowned a little and started crying.

Logan had just finished making Joanna's coffee, he put it down next to her."Oh Ivy, your going to be trouble when your older."He chuckled.

Bliss nodded."I promised Iris I would visit her, sweetie. I don't want to let her down, it would be rude."She smiled.

2012-05-15 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna smiled, "Yes she will be." She picked up her coffee and took a sip.

[Damn you can tell I've been tired when do these[

Brandon smiled a little, "Alright, if you insist."

2012-05-15 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy cuddled to Joanna as she cried.

"Well at least now she knows not to do it again."Logan chuckled softly.

Bliss smiled."I do insist."She held her hands up, so he could help her off the floor.

[I can't that you've tired lol XD]

2012-05-26 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna nodded a little, "Very true." She sipped her coffee again. She ran her fingers through Ivy's hair, to show that she still love her.

Brandon helped her carefully to her feet.

2012-05-26 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy sobbed louder and louder.

Logan looked at Ivy with a frown.

Bliss smiled as he helped her up. She leaned up and kissed his nose and chin.

2012-05-26 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna sighed softly and shook her head a little, putting her coffee aside and picking her up. She set Ivy on the desk and looked at her. Her voice was gentle and soothing, "Ivy, look at me."

Brandon smiled and leaned down, kissing her neck lightly.

2012-05-27 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy leaned forward and hid her face in her hand as she sobs.

Bliss smiled and kissed his neck lightly.

2012-05-27 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna shook her head, "If you don't look at me, you can sit on the floor." She tried moving her hands.

Brandon smiled a little, "You want me to take you over to Quinn's?"

2012-05-27 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy looked up at Joanna as she sobbed.

"If you don't mind."Bliss smiled a little.

2012-05-27 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "I still love you." Joanna said, kissing the tears off her cheeks, "You're still my little girl."

Brandon nodded, "I can do that."

2012-05-27 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy wrapped her arms around Joanna's head.

Bliss smiled."Thank you." She kissed him gently.

2012-05-28 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna showered her with kisses to cheer her up.

Brandon nodded, "Of course."

2012-05-28 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy stopped crying give kisses back to Joanna.

Bliss smiled."Best husband ever."She showered his face in kisses.

2012-05-28 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "See, I'm not so bad." Joanna said. "But what about Daddy? Where are his kisses?"

Brandon smiled and chuckled softly, "I know right?"

2012-05-28 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy pulled back from Joanna and held her arms out to Logan.

Logan smiled and walked over to Ivy and picked her up."Hello baby girl." He chuckled when he got messy kisses from Ivy.

Bliss smiled brightly.

2012-05-28 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna leaned back in her seat and watched them with a little smile.

Brandon smiled, "What all do you need me to grab for you and baby?"

2012-05-28 [Cerulean Sins]: Logan showered Ivy's face in kisses then he started tickling her.

Ivy giggled loudly.

"Well I need to bathe and change my clothes but before I do, I'll feed Alistair. Could you please do the washing while I'm away and maybe get some food in for dinner? Pretty please?" Bliss batted her eyes at him.

2012-10-18 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: [*clears throat* I suck, sorry >.< It's been five months.. I really suck]

Joanna watched them and chuckled softly, but something was worrying her a tad. Would she get too attached to these two? Logan was a young, handsome man that most young women in town figured that God had forgiven the sins that created Ivy, and that Ivy needed a better influence then Joanna. People were quicker to forgive a man than a woman. What if he met a young lady in town he liked? Someone better than her; she wouldn't be needed anymore. With these thoughts going through her mind, Joanna abruptly stood and started to gather things up.

Brandon nodded a bit, "Of course." He kissed her forehead, "I wont burn the house down while you're gone."

2012-10-22 [Cerulean Sins]: Logan looked over at Joanna when she started acting strange."Are you alright, Joanna? If your worried about your father and your ex then I can get my brothers and Brandon to be on the look out for them." He wouldn't let anyone hurt Joanna or try and take her away from him and Ivy because he was in love with her but he just didn't know it yet.

Ivy was being naughty again, she was tugging on her father's tie and dipping it into his coffee as she giggle. Her father was right, she was going to be a wild child when she got older.

"If you burn down the house I will cry and cry and cry until you go insane."Bliss giggled softly.

2012-10-22 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna looked over and nodded a little, "I'm fine." She gave him a small smile, "I was just thinking that we should be letting you get back to work." She looked at Ivy and chuckled a little, shaking her head, "You're going to need a new tie."

Brandon chuckled softly, "I'm sure you would."

2012-10-22 [Cerulean Sins]: "A new tie?"Logan asked with a confused look on his face then he looked down at his daughter."Oh Ivy."He sighed as he shook his head and he started to take his tie off.

Ivy whimpered when the tie was gone from her hands and she started crying. She wanted that tie!

Bliss smiled and kissed him gently then she sat down one a chair and started to breast feed Alistair.

2012-10-22 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna smiled a little and walked over, "Let me see her." She said, holding out her hands for Ivy.

Brandon went and finished up some chores before she left.

2012-10-22 [Cerulean Sins]: Logan took his tie off and put it on the table then he handed Ivy over to Joanna."Take the wild child."He teased.

Ivy just sobbed and waved her arms in the air and kicked her legs.

Bliss finished feeding Alistair, had a bath, got dressed then she went in search of Brandon because she was going to go visit Iris with Alistair."Sweetie?" She called.

2012-10-22 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna took the kicking and screaming Ivy, "I think someone needs a nap." She said with a chuckle.

"Yes my dear?" Brandon called.

2012-10-22 [Cerulean Sins]: "I think that would be very wise."Logan chuckled.

Ivy sobbed loudly because she wanted that tie.

Bliss followed the sound of his voice, she smiled at him."I'm going over to Iris's house now."

2012-10-22 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna nodded a little, "We'll see you at home." She looked at Ivy and just rocked her gently as she started out. "Wave bye to daddy."

Brandon nodded, "Alright, the buggy should be outside waiting for you. Ralph is taking you." Ralph was the newly hired ranch hand, a friend of Brandon's that needed some help after losing everything to drinking, fancy ladies, and gambling.

2012-10-22 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy just cried.

"Bye bye sweetheart."Logan blew Ivy kisses and waved."I'll be late home tonight, Joanna. I should only be an hour or two late."

Bliss nodded."All right." She cradled Alistair took her, she picked up his tiny hand and waved it gently in the air."Bye bye daddy. Love you." She said in a cute baby voice and with smile on her face.

2012-10-22 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna nodded a little, "I'll keep dinner warm." She smiled before leaving with the still crying Ivy. She rocked her gently and hummed as they went home.

Brandon smiled and waved, "Bye baby." He walked over and kissed Alistair's forehead, then Bliss' cheek, careful not to get any dirt on her, "Have fun."

2012-10-22 [Cerulean Sins]: Logan smiled then he went back to work.

Ivy held onto Joanna as she sobbed but her crying did die down after a while.

Bliss smiled."I will." She kissed his nose."And when you can take a nap, you look tired."

2012-10-22 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Joanna got home and rocked her for a little longer before putting her down for a nap.

Brandon chuckled softly, "If there's time."

2012-10-22 [Cerulean Sins]: Ivy soon fell asleep once she was in her crib.

"Make time."Bliss smiled and kissed him gently on his lips."I love you."She whispered.

2012-10-22 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Brandon returned the kiss and smiled, "I love you too.. Now get going or you'll worry Iris."

2012-10-22 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss smiled."I won't be long." She blew him a kiss as she put Alistair into his buggy and went to the carriage. With the help of Ralph they managed to get the buggy into the carriage. Soon enough they where on their way to Iris and Quinn's house.

2012-10-22 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Brandon nodded and went back to work.

Iris had everything set up and was waiting at the window for them. She was so excited to tell Bliss.

2012-10-22 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss couldn't wait to see Iris because she wanted to show off Alistair to her but also to say sorry about all the drama while she was giving birth.

2012-10-22 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris squeaked when she saw Bliss' carriage arrive and went to the door.

2012-10-22 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss wanted to run to Iris's front door but she couldn't because she had Alistair with her. So with the help of Ralph they got the buggy out."Thank you Ralph. I shan't be long." She smiled then she pushed the buggy along the path leading to Iris's front door. She pulled the buggy up as gently as she could up the two steps and then she was on the porch.

2012-10-22 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris pulled opened the door and smiled a little, "Bliss!" She beamed, opening the door wide for her, "Come in, please."

2012-10-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss smiled and pushed the buggy into the house."Morning Iris."

2012-10-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris smiled and closed the door behind her, "Come on, let's go sit in the parlor."

2012-10-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss nodded."Sitting would be good."She smiled a little. She looked so tired, pale and just not like Bliss at all. She pushed the buggy into the parlor.

2012-10-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris walked with her, making sure nothing was in her way. Once Bliss was seated, she poured some tea and frowned, "Honey, you look ready to fall over."

2012-10-24 [Cerulean Sins]: "I've been up all night with Alistair. He just wouldn't sleep until I held him in my arms but then he wanted food and burped and changed. I never knew babies where such hard work. On the bright side is that Brandon got some sleep."Bliss said with a small smile.

2012-10-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris nodded, "But I'm sure he's been trying to help, and work." She chuckled softly. "He adores you."

2012-10-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss smiled and nodded."He was trying to change Alistair today when I was having a nap but poor Alistair just cried which woke me up. I found Brandon looking so adorably panicked when he was trying to calm down Alistair so he didn't wake me up." She chuckled. 

2012-10-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris chuckled softly, "Well, hopefully he learns soon so he can teach Quinn.." She said, hinting at her big news.

2012-10-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss's jaw dropped then she slowly smiled. She wanted to squeal and cheer but she knew it would wake Alistair from his nap. So leaned forward and hugged Iris tightly even though her hurt her body to do so."I'm so happy for you!" Bliss said softly but in a happy, cheerful voice. She was truly happy for them both.

2012-10-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris hug her back gently, "Thank you." She giggled, "We're excited... Though I don't think Quinn was expecting it to happen so soon.""

2012-10-25 [Cerulean Sins]: "Don't worry, either was Brandon when I told him. Quinn will just fuss over you until you give birth then he will stay away when your giving birth." Bliss giggled softly. She was so happy that Alistair was asleep because that meant she could have a chat with Iris.

2012-10-26 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris giggled a little, "I don't imagine I'll want him around until after I've rested.." She took some of the food she had set out and handed Bliss a plate, "Here, eat." She was a southern woman, and she had to feed people when they came over. It was in their blood.

2012-10-26 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss chuckled and took the plate."Then I would suggest getting my brothers and your brothers to tie Quinn down."

2012-10-26 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris chuckled softly and shook her head, "Oh, I wont deny him coming around.. I just might not talk to him." She giggled, "Daddy always said Mama would let him see the baby, but would glare at him until the next day.."

2012-10-27 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss giggled softly."I can just see that happening. My Mama said that she didn't talk to my Daddy for a whole week when she gave birth to every one of her children."

2012-10-28 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris chuckled softly, "But you seen to still like talking to Brandon.."

2012-10-29 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss chuckled."And that is the difference between myself and my mother."

2012-10-29 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris giggled a little and nodded, "How are you setting into being a mom? I know it's only been a couple days, but still."

2012-10-29 [Cerulean Sins]: "Well I'm still sore from giving birth. Alistair hardly sleeps during the night, keeping both me and Brandon awake. He's always hungry, I have to feed him every two hours. He's perfect in everyway but I just wish he would let me sleep. I would let Brandon look after Alistair while I napped but that means Brandon would behind on work and I don't want that."Bliss sighed softly.

2012-10-29 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "Well, I don't have much to do during the day, what with Quinn working and all. I can come over in the morning after he leaves and be there while Brandon is working and you're napping." Iris smiled.

2012-10-29 [Cerulean Sins]: "Oh I couldn't put you out like that, Iris."Bliss shook her head.

2012-10-29 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris waved a hand, "Honestly, I have nothing else to do. I'd rather be useful, besides.. It'll give me some experience."

2012-10-29 [Cerulean Sins]: "Only if your sure, Iris."Bliss smiled.

2012-10-29 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris nodded, "I am." She smiled a little.

2012-10-29 [Cerulean Sins]: "How about you come over every Wednesday and Monday? Is that okay?"Bliss asked.

2012-10-29 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris nodded, "Of course, I can come everyday if you want.

2012-10-29 [Cerulean Sins]: "I'm sure Quinny might get a little peeved if I kept on stealing you away."Bliss giggled.

2012-10-29 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris giggled softly, "You let me worry about Quinn."

2012-10-29 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss smiled as she finished eating and as if on cue Alistair started to stir. She picked him up out of the buggy."Shhhhhhh.....you be good for your Auntie Iris, okay?" He whispered as she rocked him.

2012-10-29 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "May I hold him..?" Iris asked.

2012-10-29 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss smiled and nodded."Of course." Bliss leaned over and held out Alistair to Iris.

2012-10-29 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris took him carefully and sat back with a smile

2012-10-29 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss smiled as she watched Iris with Alistair."Just think in 9 months time you'll be a mother."

2012-10-29 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "A little less than that. I'm a couple montgs a long. I wanted to be sure before telling anyone."

2012-10-29 [Cerulean Sins]: "I wish we where pregnant at the same time. It would be so much to tease Quinn and Brandon."Bliss giggled.

2012-10-29 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris giggled, "Maybe next time."

2012-10-29 [Cerulean Sins]: "I don't think I could go through it again. I was such a mess."Bliss chuckled.

2012-10-29 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris chuckled softly and nodded a little, "I hear it's supposed to be better after the first one."

2012-10-30 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss nodded."That's what the sister-in-laws say."She sighed."I swear if Brandon gets me pregnant again then...I think I might just smack him." Bliss never hit anyone, well except her brothers.

2012-10-30 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris giggled softly, "I don't think they...try on purpose.." She giggled more.

2012-10-30 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss blushed and giggled.

2012-10-30 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris was blushing and giggling.

2012-10-30 [Cerulean Sins]: "Oh we are bad."Bliss giggled.

2012-10-30 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris nodded, "Yes we are.."

2012-10-30 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss smiled.

2012-10-30 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris looked at Alistair,"So, are you and your cousin going to be close?" She asked softly, smiling

2012-10-30 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss smiled."They will be as close as we are."

2012-10-30 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris smiled,"I hope so."

2012-10-30 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss smiled.

2012-10-30 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris leaned down and kissed his forehead.

2012-10-30 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss smiled."You'll be a wonderful mother."

2012-10-30 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris smiled a little,"I hope so.."

2012-10-30 [Cerulean Sins]: "You will be."Bliss smiled.

2012-10-30 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris smiled lightly,"I'm nervous..."

2012-10-30 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss smiled."You'll be fine."

2012-10-30 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris smiled,"At least I can bother you with questions."

2012-10-30 [Cerulean Sins]: "And I'll be more then happy to answer them."Bliss smiled.

2012-10-31 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris smiled softly.

2012-10-31 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss smiled.

2012-10-31 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris smiled and kissed Alistair again, "So, who should be married next do you think?"

2012-10-31 [Cerulean Sins]: "Perhaps Jack or Jasper. OH! I do hope that Logan marries Joanna."Bliss smiled.

2012-10-31 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Iris smiled, "Logan wont be easy to get him to marry... But I think he loves Joanna, or else I don't think he'd have risked the rumors."

2012-10-31 [Cerulean Sins]: Bliss nodded."So true. I do hope that he does marry her. They are pretty much a family already."

2012-10-31 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell stormed out of her house, slamming the door in her stepmother's face. You could hear the screaming coming from inside still. She had her shall pulled tightly around her against the cold wind that had started, a storm was moving in. She carefully brushed the tears off her bruised cheek as she walked. She wasn't even sure where she was going.

Iris nodded a little, "Yes, they are..." She smiled, "Maybe we should talk to him... Although, I promised Quinn I wouldn't do any match making.. But technically, they're already a match.."

2012-11-01 [Cerulean Sins]: Jack saw a very upset Annabell. He frowned softly and walked over to her."Why so down, buttercup?"He asked softly as he walked beside her.

Bliss nodded."But it wouldn't hurt to give them a little push, right?" She smiled.

2012-11-01 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell jumped and sniffed a little, "It's nothing.." She whispered, keeping her hair in her face.

Iris smiled slowly, "Well, I don't think so.. And we don't have to tell Quinn.."

2012-11-01 [Cerulean Sins]: "It's not nothing, Annabell."Jack whispered to her.

Bliss smiled."And Alistair won't tell Uncle Quinny or Daddy anything. So our secret is safe."

2012-11-01 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell brushed the fresh tears away, "I'm fine Jack."

Iris giggled and looked at Alistair, "Promise me little one." She teased.

2012-11-01 [Cerulean Sins]: Jack was still frowning."Well if your sure but just know I'm here if you want to talk."

Bliss chuckled."I don't think he could rat us out even if he wanted too."

2012-11-01 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell looked up finally, still trying to hide the bruise on her cheek, she gave him a small smile, trying not to cry, "I know."

Iris giggled softly, "Probably not."

2012-11-01 [Cerulean Sins]: Jack puled Annabell into a hug."I think you need this, darling."

Bliss chuckled."We shall make him loyal to us and to never rat us out."

2012-11-01 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell blushed a little, but put her arms around him and sighed softly.

Iris giggled softly and nodded a little,"We'll have to use sweets.."

2012-11-01 [Cerulean Sins]: "How about I take you to my house and I treat you to some cake and iced tea?"Jack asked softly. He'd rather look after her in the house rather than outside in the open.

"Or cry until he caves. That normally works on my brothers, my father and Brandon."Bliss smiled.

2012-11-01 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell nodded a little, "I would like that." She said softly.

Iris giggled, "It does, but I hate doing that to Quinn...But I can do it to the others, even my nephew."

2012-11-01 [Cerulean Sins]: "Good because we're right by my carriage."Jack smiled down at her."Chocolate cake? The cook, Carrie, made some yesterday and it's heavenly. Just don't tell Bliss." He said as he got her into her carriage then he got in himself.

Bliss chuckled."Oh Iris! Your going to get emotional and you will cry and get angry at the smallest things. I use to get angry at Brandon because of the way he chewed his food and after I shouted at him, I started crying. I cried for an hour and then I got on my knees and begged him for chocolate."

2012-11-01 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell nodded a little and got in the carriage, "That sounds lovely." She smiled a little.

Iris smiled, "Really? Oh dear.. Maybe I should send Quinn to Brandon for some advice.."

2012-11-01 [Cerulean Sins]: Jack smiled as the carriage started to move."Oh and some peach iced tea."

"Or perhaps send him to your father. Your father might be able to give Quinny some advice on how your mother was like during her pregnancy. They say daughters are like their mothers when pregnant."Bliss said with a smile."Daddy talked to Brandon about what to except when I was pregnant and little tricks that stop the crying, the anger and the hissy fits."

2012-11-01 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell nodded a little, "So long as there's enough sugar to kill a Yankee.." She smiled softly.

Iris thought about it and nodded a bit, "I should.. It'll help him probably."

2012-11-01 [Cerulean Sins]: "I will ask Carrie to put a bag of sugar in it."Jack chuckled.

Bliss smiled and nodded."It will help Quinny out a lot."

2012-11-01 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell's smile broadened a little. She tucked her hair back and looked at him so he could see the bruise on her cheek.

Iris smiled and nodded, "I'll tell him to go then... But I'll go with so Daddy doesn't shoot him."

2012-11-01 [Cerulean Sins]: Jack saw the bruise and he frowned."And I'll get some ice for you too."

"Does your daddy know?"Bliss asked with a worried look.

2012-11-01 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell shook her head, "It's fine... I've had it for a couple days now."

Iris chewed on her lip and shook her head, "I don't know how to tell him.."

2012-11-01 [Cerulean Sins]: "Annabell...."Jack said softly."Let me take care of you and make you laugh. It's what I do best." He smiled.

"You didn't tell your Daddy! Okay here's what we'll do. I'll come over with Alistair and that way he can't shout or yell or freak out."Bliss said as she nodded.

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell smiled lightly, "You do Jack.."

Iris nodded a little, "Ok.. Well.. No, I don't want to bother you dear.. I just have to tell him.."

2012-11-02 [Cerulean Sins]: Jack smiled."Aw thanks darling."

"But little Alistair and I could be your buffers."Bliss said.

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell blushed a bit, but smiled, "Mmhmm."

Iris shook her head, "But you need to rest."

2012-11-02 [Cerulean Sins]: Jack got out of the carriage when it stopped. He held his hand out to her so he could help her out of the carriage.

"But your daddy hasn't met Alistair yet."Bliss said with a small smile.

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell got out with his help and smiled a little.

Iris sighed, "I'm not winning, am I?"

2012-11-02 [Cerulean Sins]: Jack walked her up to the house.

"Sorry, no."Bliss smiled.

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell walked up to his house, smiling lightly.

Iris smiled and nodded, "Alright.."

2012-11-02 [Cerulean Sins]: Jack walked her into the house and took her to the parlour.

Bliss smiled."Yay. I win."

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "Thank you Jack.." Annabell said softly as they walked.

Iris smiled a bit, "Maybe later..?"

2012-11-02 [Cerulean Sins]: "Your welcome. I'll be right back but please make yourself comfortable."Jack smiled then went to the kitchen.

"Maybe later?"Bliss had her confused face on.

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell nodded a little and looked around the parlor.

Iris smiled and nodded, "You need to rest.."

2012-11-02 [Cerulean Sins]: Jack asked the kitchen staff to bring chocolate cake, peach iced tea and ice to the parlour. Once that was done he walked back to the parlour and sat down on the sofa."So what to tell me what happened?"

Bliss nodded."I know but that is kind of hard with a screaming baby and barking dogs."She sighed.

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell shrugged a little, "My stepmother didn't like how I was cleaning the house, which has never changed, but I think she's been getting more and more tiered of me." She sighed softly, " So she told my father that I wasn't doing my job." She was paccing back and forth now."And I got so tiered of her and I went off on my father. I'm not sure entirely what I said, but I remember saying she wouldn't know the right end of a broom if it smacked her...Which I decided to demonstrate by throwing it at her. I told them they could clean up after themselves because I was done, and would only be cleaning up after me. That's when I held still long enough for my father to smack me." Her tears started coming now, "And then he left me with that horrible woman and she's been screaming at me like non-stop for two days." She sat down in a chair, putting her heads in her hands.

Iris chuckled, "Why don't you rest here?"

2012-11-02 [Cerulean Sins]: Jack nodded as he listened to her. He couldn't believe that her father had smacked her. He wanted to kill her father but he wouldn't because he was a gentleman."Your staying here where it's safe. My mother and father won't mind at all." He knew if his parents had heard her story then they would move her in within a heart beat.

Bliss shook her head."Oh I couldn't. It would be rude."

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell looked up, "Oh no. I'd be in the way." She waved her hand a little and looked back down. She pulled out her handkerchief and dabbed away her tears. She wanted to act like a lady, and a lady didn't cry, not in front of a gentleman anyway, and definitely not before they were married. It made the nose red and they eyes puffy, and that shouldn't be seen until after the vows have been said.

Iris waved a hand, "You're my sister now Bliss. It's not rude if it's family."

2012-11-02 [Cerulean Sins]: Jack stood up and walked over to her."My parents would be more than happy to have you here.You can cry if you want to. I did live with Bliss, so I'm use to crying women."He smiled a little.

Bliss chewed her lip a little."Alright but only for wee while."

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell shook her head, "Father wouldn't allow it, even if I wanted to come here." She said, looking up at him, "Yes, but Bliss is your sister."

Iris smiled and carefully stood, "Come on then, I'll show you to the second most comfortable bed." She chuckled, "I would offer mine, but I need to put new sheets on it and such."

2012-11-02 [Cerulean Sins]: "I've seen Iris cry too."Jack said then he put his hands on Annabell's shoulders."I'll figure out something. No one likes to see you hurt, darling."He said softly.

Bliss nodded as she stood up in mild pain."What about Alistair?"

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell smiled a little, "Iris is your sister too." She just shook her head and sighed, "There's nothing really that you can do, except for what you already have."

"I've got him." Iris said and smiled when the maid came in to see if they needed anything, "And Miss Marline here is an angel with babies." Marline was an older woman, with kind eyes but a mother's presence. She smiled at Bliss.

"I take care of him if he start ta fussin Miss, you look like you need to lay down and take some of my pain brew. Git rid of your pain in a flash."

2012-11-02 [Cerulean Sins]: Jack nodded."Alright but your staying for cake and iced tea."He smiled.

Bliss smiled at Marline."It's lovely too meet you, Miss Marline. Oh if Alistair starts to fuss then sing to him or rub your finger along the bridge of his nose. It calms him." She looked at Iris."The nose thing is a Llewellyn thing."She giggled.

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell nodded, "I can do that.." She smiled.

Iris giggled softly, "Oh I know. I do it to Quinn when he's had a bad day, or if I have to tell him bad news."

Marline chuckled and nodded, "Miss Iris, you taking her to the flower room?" When Iris nodded, "Good, I'll bring up some tea before you get settled in too much. Already have some brewin." She walked back to the kitchen.

2012-11-02 [Cerulean Sins]: "Come sit."Jack took her over to the sofa and he sat her down then he sat next to her.

Helena walked into the room."Your cake and iced tea, sir."She smiled.

Bliss giggled."It only works on the males. For females it's the ears."

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell smiled a little to Helena and took her tea, "Thank you."

Iris chuckled as she led her upstairs, "I'll keep that in mind if I have a daughter."

2012-11-02 [Cerulean Sins]: "Miss Annabell."Helena smiled as she put the tray down on the coffee table.

Bliss smiled."Oh I hope you have a daughter."

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell smiled a little, "How have you been?"

"Me too." Iris giggled, "Pink and lace and pretty colors.."

2012-11-02 [Cerulean Sins]: "I've been well. And yourself?"Helena asked as she poured the iced tea.

"We need more girls in the family."Bliss giggled.

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "Been well." Annabell nodded a little, "Much better here."

Iris nodded, "Well, we need our single brothers to marry.."

2012-11-02 [Cerulean Sins]: Helena smiled."I hope you to have a good evening." She left the room.

Jack picked up his iced tea and sipped it.

Bliss nodded."So true."

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell picked up her tea and sipped it and looked at Jack. "Bliss and Iris have been rather quiet in their match making.. I wonder what they can be planning. They usually tell me." She chuckled softly.

Iris smiled a little and opened the door to the guest room. "Here we are." She smiled

2012-11-02 [Cerulean Sins]: Jack chuckled."Knowing my sisters they will be planning on setting up the rest of the Kennedy & Llewellyn brothers"

"It's beautiful."Bliss smiled.

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell giggled, "Probably.. But maybe they're trying to chose who to set up next. They typically tell me so I can start designing dresses.."

Iris smiled, "Thank you.. I went really girly here, so Quinn wouldn't have to live with it in our room." She giggled.

2012-11-02 [Cerulean Sins]: Jack nodded."Bliss is busy with Alistair and Iris is just a new bride So I'm sure they will find you and give you the details of their plans."

Bliss chuckled."Bless. Wake me up in an hour, okay?"

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell nodded a little, "Probably." She sighed softly, "If only I could go back to working." She looked at him, "I was only a few months away from having enough to buy my own place and get a bank loan to run a business out of it.. I think my step mother found out and that's why she got me fired."

Iris nodded and smiled, looking at Marline when she came in.

"Tastes like honey. It'll ease your pain. Drink this up and rest." Marline said, sounding like a mother.

2012-11-02 [Cerulean Sins]: "She got you fired?"Jack asked.

Bliss kissed Alistair on the forehead."I'll see you soon, my angel." She took her scarf off and held it out to Iris."So he dosen't think I'm missing." She looked at Marline."Thank you." She took the drink.

2012-11-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell nodded, "Just before Iris and Quinn were married. She found my store key and sent my brothers in to steal some fabric.. It was later placed in my room and my boss fired me."

Iris smiled, taking the scarf, "We're going to have fun. You just rest." She smiled and headed out of the room.

Marline nodded, "Rest well dear." She said before going back to her chores.

2012-11-03 [Cerulean Sins]: "I'm so sorry."Jack said softly.

Bliss sipped her tea as she walked to the bed. She sat down with a small smile.

2012-11-03 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Annabell shrugged a little, "I returned the fabric of course, undamaged and such. Tried to explain what had happened, but I thought better of it. It's my word against her. And she has my father on her side."

Iris smiled and closed the door for her, then went downstairs while talking softly to Alistair.
