Chapter 12 - Two Is My Favorite Number


Delilah continued to fish every day after school… for about a week.


After falling one too many times she decided that there had to be an easier skill to develop that wouldn't get her grounded for staying out past curfew on accident.


While Delilah was out fishing, Evelyn had been spending lots of time trying to discover new potions with the chemistry set however after a rather large explosion that charred her clothes and singed her hair, Alicia was forced to take the chemistry set away, at least for the evening.


After Delilah came home late a third night in a row, bruised and scraped from not knowing how to cast a line properly, she was grounded and therefore forced to find a hobby to develop in to a skill at home. She was rather talented, it seemed, at sketching.


After grounding Delilah for breaking curfew Alicia invited over the guy whom she hoped would turn out to be donor #6! In no time her hope became a reality… she hoped that she was knocked up again but wasn't sure.


Donor #6 was rather full of himself, he strutted from the bed, all the way down stairs and out the front door, verbally reassuring her that "his stuff doesn't fail". "Geez, I hope if I am pregnant that this kid doesn't act like that", Alicia thought to herself.


Eric found he was rather adept at writing, and even though he was rather quiet, when he sat down at the computer and placed his fingers on the keyboard he was able to let out all of his thoughts and emotions.


It seems that those emotions include anger, and in one of Eric's fits of rage he hit the keyboard so hard a key popped off, smacked the screen and shattered it. Now it was Alicia's job to fix the thing. She figured a screw driver would do the trick...


After a while of smacking the tower and keyboard without he screw driver the computer began to emit a rose like scent …Alicia moved closer to smell it a tad better. Unbenounced to her, the computer sprung to life and seemed to be working better than ever. Slightly confused at how she had fixed the computer she was proud of herself, never the less.


The pride, however, was short lived as morning sickness over took her and she rushed to the bathroom.


Due to their delinquent behavior Alicia had been forced to tell the twins, Delilah & Dylan, that they would not be allowed to attend prom. However, for days they had hung out in the back yard, plotting how they would sneak off to prom. While Alicia was busy getting sick in the downstairs bathroom they took their chance and quickly bolted from the house… sprinting for the rented limo.


When they arrived home from a night of fun, they knew they would be grounded for even longer, but to their surprise their mom was passed out in her bedroom. Delilah tucked Felix in and checked on Evelyn and Eric before turning in for the night. Meanwhile, Dylan hung their prom pictures along the upstairs wall with Brille & Cody's.


The next morning as the children played Alicia made it a point to finish her latest novel, without even having to be asked Dylan and Delilah headed out to the garden to help out.


With the teens in the house acting so responsibly Alicia took her chance to get away for the day and headed to the spa for a full treatment.


When she arrived home she headed in to the study to check on Eric and immediately went in to labor. Apparently, the relaxation that she paid for really did the trick!


Before she knew it Alicia was holding a beautiful (green) baby girl, who she named Gabriella!


A few moments later a baby boy was born, whom she named Glen.


Felix had no idea that all the one on one time he had always received from his mom was drastically shortened now. He just went on hugging and holding his ratty old doll. It seemed that ever Engio child had received one of these old dolls… Alicia was beginning to wonder if they were from Jarod!
