You might remember that Ursa S. Malone had a secret love affair with a monk of the Monastery of Similius. If so, you might wonder how this would turn out, and so did I :) Ursa was happily married to flower producer Everet Malone, and their two boys are now teens. Ursa is actually family oriented, and had a very tough time as she realized she got pregnant with the monk, Rallo Plisterwood.
Ursa managed to hide the pregnancy for quite long, by wearing wide dresses and keeping her hubby on a certain distant. At this time Everet wanted to expand their house, and he became very occupied with that project, and when Ursa suggested to go away for a few months, it actually sounded like a good idea. Their home was chaos.
Ursa made up a cousin living far away, who had been through tough events, needing to go away to recover, and Ursa wanted to keep her company, helping with her recovery. Instead of leaving Galucca, Ursa had made a deal with Vespula Z. Silver over at the shady Moon District. That's about as far you can get from Sunny Fields of Gal District where the Malones reside.
Ursa dressed in dark clothes to not be recognized, and Vespula greeted her at the gate. On the day they made this deal that Ursa could hide here with the Silver family, Ursa was observed by Katherine Moonster, but Vespula had told the Moonster woman a lie to cover it all well.
Vespula is head of the secret MSW, and she also runs a tiny magic store from her home. She is known to help locals when Constant Hope Hospital is not an option, and Ursa paid her well. Their deal was to hide Ursa until the birth, then Vespula would find a new home for the baby. This way Vespula was paid twice, first by Ursa and then by the baby's new parents. Good business idea! :doh:
But even if it was all well planned, a surprise occurred when Ursa gave birth to twins! Vespula refused to find a home for both, and Ursa had to deal with the baby boy herself....
Ursa left the Silvers at night, and while the monks were busy studying, she put her newborn son outside the Monastery of Similius. She knew that in a few minutes the monks would gather down there to debate those green bars, like she knew they did every evening before their last meal for the day.
While Ursa was gone, Everet and the boys were busy building them a bigger home. One day Everet was called for by the Pettonta Castle!
Countess Constance Pettonta is eco-friendly and Count Junato Pettonta loves the outdoors, and now they wanted to donate a city lot to secure a green lounge for the city region. A city matter like this would of course need approval from the Council. The new garden would need to be fenced in, but would be open to the public for minimum 3 weeks every month.
Everet was asked to develop the park, and although he always dreamed of creating a Botanical Garden, a large park would be the next best thing.
At 2 City Street the land was still pretty much untouched, and although the areal was much smaller than Everet could wish for, he decided to make the best out of it. By helping on the project, Syrup and Steven would gain valuable experience.
Finally the new home was ready! Ursa had announced she would return this day.
Syrup is the one with lots of hair, he is the oldest. Steven is the skinny one, but he somehow looks very strong. Although they are both teens, of course they have missed their mom very much!
The previous house was just the ground floor. Now the bedrooms have been moved up one floor, giving more space to their daily area. The empty room behind the kitchen is their future dining room, but currently they can't afford to equip it.
Technically this is a status 4 home, meaning their house networth value is limited to §40.000 + §10.000. They are currently a little over §50.000, but this rule ain't that rigid. For realism, they will need to wait for the new additions to decay in value, until they can afford to buy more stuff.
Ursa loved the changes, and when the boys requested mom's pancakes, she rushed to the kitchen. While cooking, she could not get her thoughts of the newborn twins. She felt terrible about the whole thing. She would of course not see the monk again, she didn't even know if he was still serving the Monastery. Would he understand that the baby boy is his son? And what about the little girl?
Ursa tried not to cry, tried to let go of those thoughts...
It was great to be back home, and they all chatted loudly, the boys had lots to tell, and everything seemed promising.
Syrup is talking about Timara Onioon, the much younger girl who wanted to become his girlfriend. Now that she finally became a teenager, Syrup is about to grow into a Young Adult...
We're leaving the Malone family for now. Next update we'll check on the Fogdale household of the poor Dump :)
