Chapter 19 - Gen 1 - Toby

Pear followed me into the house, I couldn't see Jade she must be upstairs or in the basement.

"Toby how can you be so sure they are mine?"

"Apricot - her eyes - she has got Marmalade eyes -  just look at them!!"

"Ok so they are like mine but ..."

"Don't argue with me Pear - they are your babies I KNOW I can feel it!!!"

I heard Jade shouting

"Toby is that you -  you need to have words with Poppy she ........... eerrr WHAT IS HE DOING HERE???!!!"

"He is here because we are trying to work out if these babies are his or mine!!"

"Toby NO!!!"

"So do you know - are they his or are hey mine Jade??!!"

"I ......... "

"THEY ARE HIS AREN'T THEY!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"I DON'T KNOW OK!!!!!!"

"WHY Jade?  Why did you do this to us??"

"I'm sorry Toby, I didn't mean to I was upset - your Mom had just died ....."

"DON'T YOU DARE!!!!!  Using my Mom a an excuse that's cheap!!!!"

"Please I am sorry it was just once it will NEVER happen again!!!!!"

"Oh it will trust me - because when Pear leave with his babies he is taking you with him!!"

"NO - TOBY - NO PLEASE!!!"

"YOU ARE LEAVING Jade I told you what would happen if I found out anything was going on between you and  Pear - you swore to me Jade - you begged and pleaded with me to take you back - why if you knew you was going to do this??!!  I should have stuck to my guns - I should not have let you worm your way back in.  You betrayed me Jade and I am not having it - its over - I am not going to let you keep hurting me!!"

"But the babies they could be yours!!"

"Don't Please - they aren't mine - I can feel it - they are not mine - Apricot has Pears eyes - that is proof enough for me - besides does it really matter - if they did turn out to be mine it does not change the fact your married to ME and you slept with Pear - you betrayed our marriage!!"

"What if they ARE YOURS."

"They ARE NOT MINE Jade I think you know as well as I do, for a start there is no sign of "ugly" in them at all!!"

"There wasn't in Poppy remember, they could be like Poppy"

"Stop it Jade they are not mine!!!"

"Toby we need to be 100% these babies are mine before I take them."

"I am 100% sure."

"Look, ok the eyes do look like mine, but that does not make it certain, they could be a throw back from a past generation like Apple and his hair."

"Are you trying to wriggle out of your responsibility Pear?"

NO!!!!  I would LOVE them to be mine - but still we need to be 100% - it would gut me to take them then find out later they were yours after all!!"

"He is right Toby"

"Shut up Jade this is all your fault!!!"

"Jade do you really have no idea who's they are?"

"No."

"Work out the dates - come on you must have some idea!!!"

"Toby they are more likely to be yours, it was just once with Pear and we do it a lot."

"Not around the time my parents died we didn't - so which one of us is closest to the date."

"Its impossible to say."

"Come on work it out."

"It was the same day." she mumbled quietly head down

"What was the same day - OH PLEASE DON'T!!!!!!! 

"I'M SORRY!!!!!!

"You are DISCUSTING!!"

"You know what - I am divorcing you Jade - its over!!!"

"No Toby please don't - it was a one off I promise!!"

"No Jade it's finished - I will never trust you again and I can't live wandering all the time if you are with him!!"

"I don't want to break up Toby"

"Tough its done - we are over - you can go with Pear and the your twins - my twins and boys stay here with me!!"

"Toby NO!!!"

"Pear wouldn't want any of my ugly kids living in his house and I wouldn't let them go - my four kids stay here with me."

"What if they are yours - then what are you going to do?"

"If they were to turn out to be mine, which I know they won't, they can stay here but you are still leaving - We are over!!!"

She did not take too kindly to the breakup, ironic isn't it - she is the one who has been cheating and I am the one who gets their face slapped!!!

"So what do you want to do Pear?"

"I will take them just as long as I know they are mine."

"I am sure when they age up - that will prove who's kids they are."

"Can we wait till their birthday."

"Ok - they can stay here till their birthday, you can come round and see them but just keep out of my way!!"

"You can stay here with them till thier birthday then you are out!!!!  Don't talk to me, in fact I don't even want to see you or hear you!!"

The twins birthday couldn't come quick enough for me.  I started sleeping in with the boys, they were finding it hard to get their head around what was going on.  They were really upset over our marriage break up.

When the twins birthday came around it only took one of the girls to age up for us to know exactly who's kids they were and I was right - they were Pears kids and not mine.

Lime

Apricot

"Happy now Pear that you can see they are yours!!"

"Yes - I am sorry Toby!!"

"Now you can take your family and leave Pear."

There was nothing Jade could say

"Come on Jade."

"I am not going to your Dad's Tia is there!!"

"We don't have to I bought us a house to living in."

It was written all over Pears face - he was happy that he finally got what he wanted - Jade and a bonus of an instant family that would keep Jade tied to him forever.  Jade on the other hand looked far from happy - but she had made her bed - now she was going to lie in it!!

It tore me apart to watch them leave, so upset all I could do was throw up.



She had betrayed me, what else could I have done - I knew if she had done it once with Pear - she would do it again, they just couldn't keep away from each other.  I found out after Jade had grabbed Mint on the way out, he was just coming home and she had taken him with her.  So I was left with Just Blake and the twins, I was really not happy that she had taken Mint with her!!!

I had to work out a way to get my son back and I had to some how find a way to get over this!!!!

Generation 2
Chapter1

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

Pear was so cute taking care of his babies while Jade and Toby were fighting!!!
I love it when they break up on their own - Toby just did it in among the fighting :)  saved me a job of having them stuck together fighting :)  After the first twins were born Jade and Tobys relationship started to slip they hardly interacted with each other then Jade started with the Pear wishes ;/  The weirdest thing happened I totally lost Mint he vanished out of the house - even his clickable picture vanished.  He was still in everyones friends list but I could not interact with him - so I just put it down that he had gone with Jade. (spoiler) Mint came home with Blake from school so I was able to click on him and add him to active houshold and I got him back :)  He does not seem glitchy so I don't have a clue what went on there!!

Chapter 18 - Gen 1 - Toby

Dad dying so soon after Mom left us was just too much to take!!!  Within days  I had lost both of my parents.



Now a Pop Idol I had lots of time on my hands to kill, work only three days a week, I had to keep myself busy just to take my mind off everything.  Scrubbing the house from top to bottom was quite therapeutic, and then there was the girls.

The twins kept me pretty busy teaching them to walk talk and use the potty was left mainly down to me because Jade was back at work during the week and I had a lot more time to spend with them.

The most surprising thing to come out of all this is another pregnancy.  An accidental and unplanned pregnancy.  I know exactly when it happened - just after my mothers death and just before my dad's - I thought we were being careful - but obviously not careful enough!!!

I wasn't unhappy about it - in fact it was probably a good thing as it would give us something else to focus on.  I was finding it pretty hard still living with out my parents.

The twins had their birthday.  I couldn't stop looking at Poppy's face - she was going to be pretty like Jade - you would never guess that she was my daughter would you!!!

Petal was not so lucky in the looks department, but she does have a lot nicer personallity than Poppy.

Blake became a teenager - there is no mistaking who his Dad is - is there!!!!

The pregnancy was coming along and I was becoming concerned about the size of Jades baby bump.  It was as huge as it had been when she had the twins and I suspect there might be more than one in there.

Jade woke me up moaning in the middle of the night, the baby was on its way.



Unlike with the twins this baby did not seem to be in any hurry - after hours of Jade screaming baby still had not arrived.  She was in agony but she would not let me take her to the hospital and I couldn't work out why!!

"Come on Jade let me take you to the hospital!!"

"NO, Toby I have told you I AM STAYING HERE - AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW"

"I really don't see why you won't go to the hospital!!"

"Toby go away - your making it worse OOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUCHHHH!!!"

Fianlly the baby made her appearance - a girl the same colour as Jade, she wanted to call her Lime.

As she put Lime in the crib she started moaning again.

"OMG!!!!! There is another one AAAAAAWWWWWWWW"

Another set of twin girls, who were identical in colour - the second one Jade wanted to call Apricot.

At first everything was fine but then I started to get a niggling feeling that something was not right.  Jade was acting strangely nothing like how she had been with her other three births.  Something was wrong I could feel it.  But I was tired and thought maybe too tired and I was not thinking straight - I fed Lime and settled her down while Jade did Apricot.

After having only half the sleep I needed a crying baby woke me up.

Jade had taken Apricot downstairs I presumed as there was only Lime in the cribs upstairs, well I think its Lime by  her strange eye colour, I had not picked Apricot up yet so I couldn't tell which baby it was.  After feeding and changing her I took her downstairs and put her in a crib in the babies room.

When I put down the baby I had I picked up the other baby.

"Put her down, I hate the way you inspect the babies like that!!!"

"Just looking for ugly bits that's all!!"

"Well DON'T you do this every time we have a baby!!!"

Jade seemed pretty cross and snapped at me to put the baby down.  In the past she has always laughed at me looking for ugly bits - this time she was mad over it which was strange.  Suddenly I got this awful sinking feeling, it felt like my blood was draining away from me, alarm bells started ring in my head and all I could focus on were the two little red eyes that were innocently staring back at me.  No sign of Ugly in either of the twins - but those eyes - I knew those eyes, they weren't my eyes or Jades, these eyes are - OMG!!  THIS IS NOT MY CHILD!!!

I placed the baby back into the crib - my head was in turmoil and I really didn't know what to do - pretend I had not noticed or deal with it.  I had to deal with it.  I could see Blake and Jade in the kitchen eating.

"Toby come and eat."

"I am not hungry and I just need to pop out for a bit."

"Toby where are you going?"

"I won't be long!!"

I rushed out - I had to see somebody.

"Ugli if you are looking for Apple he is at work."

"Its not Apple I came to see its you!!"

"Me - since when did you start paying me social visits?!"

"Pear, I just want a straight Yes or No from you, I know the answer already I just need to hear you say it."

"What!?

"Have you slept with Jade since we got married?"

Silence

"Well - Yes or No - all I need is the truth - Have you slept with my wife recently?"

Silence

"Come on Pear, I already know you have - just say it - I need to hear you say it!!"

"Ok - Yes I have."

"When? When did you sleep with her Pear?"

"Oh I don't know eerrr ....... just after your Mom died I think it was."

"Right you can come home with me because I have something of yours that you need to remove from my house."

"What?!"

"Your children!!"

"WHAT!!!!????"

"Just come Pear - I want them out of my house!!!!"

"Children - what children - I don't understand?!"

"The twin girls Jade just had, they are not mine - they are yours!!!"

Chapter 17 - Gen 1 - Toby

by Jade

That look on his face cut through me and I could not get it out of my head.  It actually hurt me to see him so hurt, but it was never going to work between us - what else could I do!!!!

I love Pear in my own way but I love Toby more with me and Pear it was opposites attract and fireworks in the bedroom but all the arguments and the fighting - I am so tired of all the fighting - it wears me down.  With me and Toby we are alike, we are sole mates and it doesn't matter to me how he looks because I don't see the "ugliness", and I know Toby will never hurt me, with Toby I will have a far better life -  Pear is just a mine field!!

I meant every word I said to Pear on mine and Toby's wedding day - I loved Toby and it was over between me and Pear so why can I not get him out of my head!!??  Maybe it is because he won't let me!!!!

He has been wearing me down since the day I married Toby.  Mainly by phone, every day at work and any opportunity he gets and he takes it.  lying on the bed, after you know, with Toby and the phone rings and disturbs us - guess who!!

"Jade"

"Hi Dad, can I ring you back later I am busy."

"Is he there?"

"Yeah - later I promise!"
"Don't forget!!"

Of course it wasn't my Dad, it was Pear - but I don't want Toby to find out Pear is pestering me, it will only upset him, he is really insecure where Pear is concerned.

Slowly but surely he has ground me down before I became pregnant with Blake he would be there at work in my ear constantly - he drove me nuts and I suppose I knew deep down I could easily put a stop to it all by leaving work, I am a chronic cook and am never going to get anywhere in this job, Toby hates the fact that I work with Pear and typically of Toby, he would rather upset himself than upset me by saying if I am happy there I can stay working there.  I did intend to leave but when it comes to it I panic inside, I just don't seem to be able to make that final break from Pear that I need to make.  It is my own fault I know!!

Pear was far from happy when I told him we were trying for a baby and even unhappier still when I told him I was pregnant.  We had the mother of all arguments over the phone - mainly because of his "ugly" insults.  I slammed down the phone and that was that.  I was on maternity leave away from work and away from Pear and I did for a while get the break from him that I needed.

It was just after Mint was born when he started again.  Toby had been round hanging out with Apple and he had had a run in with Pear, who was quick to phone me, the minute Toby walked out the door.  I had just ended the call with Pear when Toby walked in looking all wound up and I know exactly why he was wound up but had to pretend that I didn't know, else he would have known I had been talking to Pear.   After that Pear never left me alone.  Most of the time he phoned while Toby was at work Pear seemed to  knew exactly when he was and wasn't working.

But it was inevitable one day we would come face to face when nobody else was around.  It was after the twins were born and I was feeling a little stir crazy and decided to go round to see Tia.  I did give Pear a thought, but checking the time i knew he should be at work.  I nearly died  as I walked up the path and he came running out the door obviously late, there was nothing I could do be keep on walking.  At first he rushed past me then he must have stopped.

"Jade"

"Go to work Pear."

"There is only Nectarine home, if you are here to see Tia she is out somewhere"

"You should be at work."

"So should you, Jade when are you coming back I miss you!!"

"Don't Pear please."

"Give it up Pear haven't you got the message yet?!"

"You know I am never going to give it up Jade."

"Pear why are you doing this?"

"Because I love you Jade and I know you might think I am pathetic, and maybe I am, but I love you and I have tried to make it go away and it won't go away Jade."

There, he went and did it again, that look, that cuts through me, he is hurting and you can see it

before I knew what was happening we were holding each other.  He is going to get me with that look every time, I knew this was wrong I shouldn't be doing this, but I just couldn't help myself, I loved being in his arms and I could have stayed there forever.

then he spoke to me which brought me back to my senses.  What was I doing!!!

"Jade what do I have to do to make you love me again?"

"Pear I can't do this."

"Jade please don't go"

"I have to!!"

I ran and left him just standing here bewildered.  I had to get away before I did something I would regret.  All I had done was hugged him amorously and I felt awful.



I never wanted to hurt Toby, but I had a feeling if I did not keep away from Pear I was going to do something that I was going to end up regretting.

Summer had just died and everyone in the house was a mess.  I had the job of telling Tia about her mother dying, Toby was too upset and we didn't have a clue where Marty was he had gone awol.  It had upset me seeing my mother in law die even though I didn't really get on with her very much, it was hard to watch Toby and the boys so upset.  This time I never even gave Pear a thought, and when he opened the door to me I was shocked at the change of his attitude towards me.

"What do you want?"

"Is Tia about?"

"No"

"Do you know where she is or what time she will be back\?"

"No"

I was a little taken about by the way he was talking to me, his whole attitude was indifferent.

"What's up with you?"

"Nothing are you done only I am busy"

"What the hell did you do to your hair?"

"What the hell does it have to do with you Jade, now can you please get lost!!"

I was not used to this attitude from him - this on top of the grief and sombre atmosphere at home I collapsed in tears into to arms and cried, he didn't say anything he just held me till I got a grip of myself.

I was upset, my brain was swimming and before I realised what was happening he was kissing me or I was kissing him I don't have a clue who started.



The kissing became passionate, more intense, even desperate, so when he swung me up into his arms and carried me, I knew exactly where we were going and exactly what we would be doing, I knew it was wrong and I knew I should have stopped it - but I didn't, I was about to make the biggest mistake of my life and I let it happen because at that moment in time it was what I wanted.

I crept out while he was sleeping - thankfully nobody saw me leave the house.
I went home angry with myself.  What had I done!!!

"What took you so long I was just about to send out a search party"

"Oh I popped into work to try and get time off and they asked me to help out for a bit."

I was such a liar!!

"Did you tell Tia"

"No, she was not home, nobody was."

I don't know where my head was at - what I was about to do didn't make any sense,  the guilt was eating me up and I thought maybe this would ease it and of course it didn't.  Climbing out of Pears bed then dragging my husband to bed because of the guilt is not really a clever thing to do - but I was doing it anyway.

"Not now Jade, I really am not in the mood."

But you know I always get my own way with him.

Now I just felt a whole lot worse!!!!
How am I ever going to get rid of this guilt and I just hope Toby never finds out what I did.
