Chapter 3 - Gen 4 - Cain

"You should give Lacey a call."

"Why Sugar?"

"She would love to spend some time with you."

"Well she can phone me then can't she." 

"Don't you like her?"

"Not particularly"

"It's because he's gay!!"

"Shut up Cory you know nothing!!"

"Your paranoid!!"

"No I am not!"

"You are too - I am not gay just because I am not interested in Lacey and I am sick to death of you two ramming her down my throat constantly - your matchmaking scheme isn't working - I'll chose my own girlfriend thanks!!"

"Oh so you are looking for a girlfriend and not a boyfriend."

"Cory - you need to get therapy you have issues, I feel sorry for your kids I can see you are going to give them hell when they get old enough to start dating!!"

You burnt that Cain!!

Yeah I do know - Cory winds me up - he has a problem with gay people and he isn't going to give me a minutes peace until he knows I am not gay!!!

Did I spot Sugar in maternity clothes?

Yes they have another baby on the way.

You like your little nephew don't you!!

Yeah he is pretty cute and I like kids.

So you do want some of your own.

Yes of course I do!!

Boinky came for a visit.  He told me that he was now in a relationship with Benji.

No wander Cory doesn't like him!! 

You are a little rude just leaving to go jogging when Boinky came to visit.

I think he much prefers my Mom's company anyway as he took himself off into the hot tub with her after they had eaten.

So where are you jogging to tonight.

I thought I would go to the nectary, I want to meet someone new so you never know I might meet somebody there.

That's Casey's girlfriend isn't it?

Yes it is Pepper but her and Casey broke up they are no longer together, but to be honest I am not surprised after Casey suddenly developed commitment issues.

There is nobody new in here for you to meet is there?

No, I know everyone, Pepper is here with her Dad Cinnamon and Apricot's Mom works here, her name is Magnolia.

You are very popular with them tonight.

It's very irritating I am always being asked for photo's and autographs, it has been terrible since I have become a young adult.

Your a five star celebrity that's why.

I really don't know why I didn't do anything to be famous for!!

Its your family roots - it just passes from generation to generation -  you have a famous family.

I see you found your new little niece, she arrived while you were out.
Yes, her name is Kadine, she has Sugar's skin colour like Brad does.

What's up with your Mum and and all the hugs you and Cory keep getting?

I don't know - Dad used to hug us alot when he was a live but Mom never did very often.  She has been doing it a lot lately - Cory thinks she is up to something!!

Knowing your Mom, she probably is!!

Casey invited me to a party she was having - I was pretty surprised to see Caramel there, as this was Benji's house and where Caramel used to live with him.

"You remenising Caramel?"

"Cheeky sod!!!!"

"I am surprised to see you here!!"

"I checked with Casey first, I knew Benji wasn't going to be here - anyway what would you know about it you was only a child when it all happened."

"I remember and it was talked about for quite a while afterwards."

"Yeah I bet it was!!"

Jasmine looked very excited to see you!!

She was, I haven't seen her since she moved out when I was a child, she was shocked at seeing me all grown up I think.

You didn't do much socialising with the other party guests.

No, I spent all night talking with Jasmine and Caramel, I am not even sure who else was there.

All your siblings except for Cory were there, your cousin Jay and your Moms Uncle Grape and Aunt Autumn.

It is unusual to see that Cory has neglected his son!!

I know it looks like they forgot to put him to bed.

Are you just going to leave him there?

Yes, he is happily sleeping if I move him he is just going to wake up.

I was working out in the garden and Brad just came wandering out.

Probably because he woke up on the floor and could quite easily go wandering as everyone else are still in bed and there is nobody keeping an eye on him.

Cory does not look pleased with you!!

He isn't, he was in a mad panic when he came out.   He couldn't find Brad and wandered where he had gone, he thought he would still be sleeping in his crib, so he panicked.

It is really sad, you two used to get on so well when you were younger.

I know, it all kind of fell apart after Dad died, when he became an adult and I was a teenager.  Cory has always been a funny one and generally keeps to himself I think I have only ever known him get on with me and Sugar - I know Mom struggles to even understand him sometimes.

Plus he really does fuss way too much over that boy!!!

Your Dad was exactly the same with all of you and Cory is like your Dad in that way.

That's it you kick the training dummie to let off steam!!

I am else I will start arguing with him.

I was thinking more towards you improving your martial arts for your life time wish.

I see your Mom is outside talking to Leon.

Cory thinks there is something going on between them.

And would it bother you if there was?

No not really, Dad has gone and I suppose she can not mourn forever.

I am glad you said that!!!

Why is there something going on between them?

Yes I think so.

Kadine has had her birthday.

She has your Mom's hair!!

I don't think either of Cory's kids are going to have much Ugli in them. 

Yes well he has your Dads strong genes, you are going to have to make sure you get yourself an extremely ugly girlfriend!!!

Why?

I don't want you giving me a headache like your parents did - I had to wait a long time for you to arrive and if you do carry your Dads genes I am worried they might resurface in your kids.

With my face that's unlikely!!!

Oops!!

Well I did warn you.

Your two faces are a picture!!

Cory was right then.

Well I am glad your Mom wants to get back with Leon I always felt sorry for him when she just dumped him like she did for your Dad.

Its nice to see you two having a laugh together for a change, instead of arguing, even if it is at your Mothers expense!!

Well you do know what they are up to don't you!!

Obviously!!!!!

Now I am going to wipe the smile off your face Cain - they are using your room!!

WHAT!!??

Leon went up first and when they were dating before your Dad, your room was your mothers room so automatically he probably thinks it still is your mother room.

Awww gross - can't you stop them!!!

Sorry - too late!!

Chapter 4

----------------

I was happy when Lacey started to roll Leon wishes again :)  So Leon is back - is she going to mess things up with him this time round???!!!
I was pretty upset that both of Jasmine and Caramels kids dissappeared - they still show on the family tree, Bertha as a baby and Clifton as a child.  They should both be teens now - I don't know wether the social worker took them away or they glitched and disappeared but it is pretty strange that i have not noticed any more children vanishing.
