The Raine Family Legacy--Gen 1, Chapter 8: Try Hard Not To Panic!

(This chapter is mostly birthdays!)

Miraj finally became an adult

Then Acid had his turn.

Except for his skin color, he looks exactly like Miraj!

So Ember now has two beautiful toddler boys.  While Ash is Good(and a crybaby!), and Acid is Evil, they manage to get along quite well.

These are the cutest kids ever, how will I possibly choose between the two of them?

Before long, Ash had another birthday.

The parental attention shifted from Ash to Acid, since Ash was now able to fend for himself, for the most part.

Ash began to realize how different he was from the rest of his family.  He was the only one in the house that ate normal food.  All the rest survived on blood.  The actual blood-drinking didn't bother him, he was used to that.  

It was simply hard to be different.  He began spending most of his time away from the house.

He was very fond of outdoor activities.

Ember continued to practice martial arts.  She liked to imagine the boards were VJ's head.

But the tick tock of her body's clock was always there.  She knew that any day now, she would lose the ability to conceive children.  She decided to try one last time, before it was too late.

It worked!

Though he was very nervous, Ash was excited to go to school and meet other children that were like him.

But he still enjoyed playing with his baby brother after school.

Ember's belly kept growing.

And Miraj was extremely excited.  Actually, his goal in life is to raise five children.  He knew that he and Ember wouldn't be able to get all five, Ember was just too old, but three would make him even happier than two.

Miraj convinced Ember to take up painting with him.  He was right, it is very relaxing.

But nothing will ever be as relaxing as filling your stomach, and your baby's stomach, with fresh warm blood.

Time flew by these days, it seemed only yesterday Ember found out she was pregnant for the third time.  Miraj didn't even freak out this time.  He was a pro by now.

Here is baby Autumn Raine.  Finally a girl!

And here are her sisters Summer and Winter.  Yes, its triplets....

What on earth have we gotten ourselves into?

Luckliy, four cribs would be only three very soon.

Here's Acid as a child.  I wish they were teenagers so they could help with the new babies!

The dreaded day is finally here.  Ember is officially an old lady.

Will her bloodlust lessen?  Was VJ the last soul she would hand over to the Grim Reaper?

(I have no idea!)
