Gen. 2 Merrick~ Chapter 1

Hello my name is Merrick Primrose. Last night on my birthday my mother, Sita told me some incredible news. I am the heir to our family legacy of wishes. Basically I have a fairy godmother or something that makes all my wishes come true until my eldest child becomes an adult.

She told me she would have a house built for me but I elected to stay home for now. I wanted to see how all this was going to work first and of course figure out exactly what I want. I plan to become a doctor but am going to take some time off for awhile to just enjoy life. So when ever I want to do some real deep thinking I play chess. This has been one of my favorite things to do since I was a child and because of it I am the best at logic. Well the best anyone can be!

Today is my graduation for high school and my whole family has come. I was class valedictorian and voted most likely to get married. I figure that is because Susanna and I are high school sweethearts and they figure we will be tying the knot soon now that we both graduated.

I am not the only one that has a big day today. My sister Melody is going to her prom today. Our parents got her a limo just like me but unlike me she doesn't like anyone at school so she is going with a bunch of friends that don't have dates too.

She was voted prom queen, I think we may have a family tradition starting here. Maybe all the Primrose kids will be king or queen.

I had a talk with my dad about Susanna, asking for his advice. I was thinking about proposing to her and my dad was supportive. However he did think that I should wait just a little while longer and make sure it was what I really wanted. He told me how mom and him moved really fast and because of it they went through some hard times that us kids never saw. I could see the wisdom in his words and I think I will wait.

I did want to go on a date with her to celebrate us graduating so I called her up and invited her over. I do love that woman very much. I don't ever see myself wanting anyone else.

We decided dinner and a movie sounded nice so we went to the movie first. Then went to the Bistro for dinner. The Bistro is one of our favorite places to eat and it gives us an excuse to dress up.

We sat and talked for awhile about the future and what we wanted to do. I told her about me wanting to be a doctor and she wanted to be a teacher. We both would be helping people but in very different ways. We were perfect for each other.

I asked Susanna to come and stay at my house for the night and she agreed. It was pretty much a disaster! We couldn't find any privacy because my house is so full. Melody and my mother were arguing as always. In the morning we we had an intimate moment in the shower and that was the only privacy we had the whole time.

I decided that living here was not going to work for me. I needed my own space to live my life without the influence of everyone in my family. So I talked with my mom and told her Susanna and I were going away for the weekend to the beach and I wanted to her go ahead and have a house built for me. She was a little upset at first but agreed and understood my desire for my own place.

After we got back from our trip I dropped Susanna off at home and went to check out my new house. It was big with lots of room for a family. I did my laundry from the trip and the damn washing machine leaked everywhere, so I had a huge mess to clean. After I got everything cleaned up I called Susanna and told her to meet me at this address. When she arrived she was a little confused as to why were meeting here. I grabbed her and told her it was my new house and all about my family legacy. She was very shocked at first but she was excited that we would have this place to ourselves. 

We took advantage of our new found privacy my making good use of the hot tube!

We finished the night with a date to the movies and a kiss goodnight. Before she headed home she surprised me with some flowers. I thought it was very sweet, she gave me flowers on our first date too. Maybe I should think about giving her some sometime.

It was such a beautiful night that after she headed home I decided to sit and read for awhile. I also thought a lot about asking her to marry me again. I know dad said I should wait but I really don't see myself wanting anyone else the way that I want her.



Chapter 11

Melody doesn't really talk to me nowadays but she will speak to Jace. It's strange really, I didn't mean to forget her birthday and then blow her off. I was distracted, I know that is no excuse but I didn't expect her to react this way.

She has asked Jace to teach her to drive and he had to keep telling her to keep her eyes on the road. She was really nervous but like Merrick she learned it in one try.

Ever since Melody learned how to drive she has been acting out. I don't think she has been ungrounded for months now. She is always staying out past curfew and getting picked up by the police. When I try to talk to her about it she just yells at me. Like it is my fault she behaves this way. I don't know what to do with her or how to fix this.

The only time she speaks to me is to feel my tummy. She is excited to have a new little brother or sister. The last time she felt my belly I let her off grounding hoping that would help change her behavior. She seemed remorseful and thankful, so I really do hope that will help.

I needed to get out of the house for awhile so I went to my friends party. I was in a right foul mood for some reason and probably shouldn't have gone. I ended up insulting another guest there a few times and I think I really hurt his feelings. I felt bad when I was leaving when I looked back and saw the look on his face. Maybe next time I will stay home when I am in a foul mood.



Instead of waiting for me to go into labor naturally we set a date to have me induced. I wasn't due for a few more days but man was I ready to have the baby. So we headed to the hospital early in the morning and a few days later we were back home.

What we didn't expect was to come home with two babies. We both got what we wanted a boy and a girl. We named them Marcus and Maeve. I'm not sure how Jace feels but I am feeling a little overwhelmed at the idea of having two babies in the house at the same time. It will be a nightmare when they are toddlers.

I guess I shouldn't have panicked to much, since Merrick and Melody are teens they have been a big help. They are always helping out with the babies and even doing middle of the night feedings.



Melody has been really good lately, she even got a part time job at the bookstore. She only had one incident in which she was brought home by the police. She was caught throwing eggs at one of the neighbors houses. But because she has been doing so good I didn't ground her, I just gave her warning. I don't think she was expecting that and she had a bit of a neurotic freak out.

Jace completed his lifetime wish and is now a Rock Star so we celebrated in the hot tub while everyone else was asleep. These are the things that help keep the romance alive!



Maeve and Marcus had their birthday, they are both so cute. Maeve has my hair and Jace's eyes and Marcus has Jace's eyes but I am not sure where his hair color came from. It could have come from someone in my family but since I don't remember them I couldn't tell you.

Merrick is so good with the little ones, he will make a great father someday. He loves to spend time with them and play with them. You can tell that they just adore their big brother.

Now that the twins were toddlers they spend a lot of time playing together. Jace and I have started on teaching them how to walk and talk. They are fast learners just like Merrick and Melody were. It's nice to know that we make smart babies.

Well I have achieved my lifetime wish and I even have more than eight perfect plants in my garden. In fact I have eleven perfect plants now.



Since all my dreams have come true it is time to pass the legacy on to Merrick. He has become an adult and I have told him about our family legacy. I told him he can stay here with us or he can move out into a house that I will have built for him. He said that he would like to stay here for awhile until he has time to think it through more. I am happy with that choice because that means my little boy wont be moving just yer. Hopefully he he wishes to stay here and just take over our home once we pass away but the choice is now his.

Merrick has aged up into a very handsome young man, He has decided he wants to be a doctor which pleased Jace to no end. It is not surprising that he gained the Hopeless Romantic trait upon turning in to an adult. I hope him and Susanna decided to get married as she is a lovely girl. Only time will tell and it is not in my control anymore.

Good Luck baby boy and may you have a long and very happy life full of dreams come true!
