I felt like my heart was going to bust out of my chest as I walked down the aisle towards Caleb. All the waiting. All the time I was uncertain. It all led to that walk towards the rest of my life.

“You look radiant.” Caleb whispered to me as we faced each other.

“You look like I want to take that suit off you.” I whispered back to him.

I wondered where our priest was, turns out he missed his flight and would be doing the ceremony via speaker on Annalise’s phone. I blame Apollo for that.

“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today…well. You’re gathered there. I’m stuck in the airport. But I digress. We here to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony..”

Five minutes later…

“I have been thinking this past month what I want to say to you today. I kept thinking of how this really all started because I wanted you to bare my child.” He paused “Back then, I wanted to keep it professional, so to speak. I had no intention of things going this way. No intention of falling for you. You were a complete surprise to me.” Caleb told me softly.

I stood there, listening and trying not to ruin my makeup. Listening to my future husband say his vows to me is a moment I waited for since the moment I understood what romantic love is.

“It is weird, my life before I fell in love with you kind of feels like this haze to me. Almost like it wasn’t real. You have changed things for me. I truly mean that. My views on my existence. My purpose. I no longer ask myself why I am still here. I no longer want someone to drive a stake through my heart so I can fade to nothing.” Caleb told me quietly.

My heart broke, thinking he used to feel that way. I grasped his hands, squeezing them with mine. I mouthed “I love you” to him as I felt tears welling up in my eyes.

“I do not feel that way anymore.” He assured me “I want to spend the rest of your life with you. I will do everything in my power to make you not only happy, but to feel loved every single day. That is my vow not only to you, but to any children we have. I will protect you. Take care of you when you need it. I will be with you until the end, no matter what.”

I wanted to cry so badly. I thought words like that were only spoken in those hallmark movies on TV. But they were said to me. They are real.

“I’m not really sure how to follow that up.” I said, laughing slightly to distract myself from ugly crying. “You know, there was a time in my life when I never thought I’d find someone. I didn’t really talk about those thoughts with anyone, but I had them.” I admitted.

Caleb nodded and I took a steadying breath. “Even though we weren’t close, you’ve been around during some of my darkest times. I always somehow knew I could go to you if I had a problem. You even put up with me calling you Dr. Cullen when I was drunk.” I joked, which received some laughs from my brother and Aubree.

“I know I can trust you to protect me and to love me. To take care of me…when I allow it, I am kind of stubborn.” I admitted, I could see Naya slapping her hand over Apollo’s mouth out of the corner of my eye. I bit my lip so I didn’t start laughing and redirected my focus totally on Caleb.

“You awakened a passion inside of me that I didn’t know existed. I’m not just talking about a physical type of passion but it’s a passion to love you. I miss you so much when I’m not with you. I can even feel it when you enter a room. I can’t put this all into words as good as you.  Just please know that I love you Caleb and I will until my last breath.”

There was a brief moment of total silence where Caleb and I just looked at each other. It was like we were the only two beings in the world in that moment.

“I can’t wait to officially start our life together and to see what the future brings us.” I said, ending my vows.

“Beautiful. Now it’s time to exchange the rings.” The priest said from the phone. I almost forgot about him.

Five minutes later…

Heir: Kaila Partner: Amos Children: Sarah-Jane, Demi and Gunnar

Unfortunately for our large family of five, both Yukio and Peppino died relatively young, leaving all five teenagers to fend for themselves. Luckily, it was close to Elliot’s 18th birthday and he took over guardianship of his brothers and sisters. It became clear that they had outgrown their shared bunks, and a new family home was finally constructed, including individual space for each sibling. However, when they were all finally young adults, the boys moved together to Henford-on-Bagley and Macy found herself a small apartment to rent in Evergreen Harbour. Leaving only Kaila on their ancestral land in Del Sol Valley. Growing up angsty and listless, Kaila finally found herself when she journeyed to the Magical Realm and became a spellcaster. She specialised in potions, but dabbled on the side with practical magic. Despite wearing all-black, Kaila was a hard-working responsible adult who enjoyed spending time in nature. To assist in her potion making, she entered the gardening career as a florist and could often be found in the Sylvan glade hunting for frogs.

While in school, Kaila had multiple possible suitors, dating some, but never really finding the right one. She kept being invited to duel with Amos, and although she enjoyed their rivalry as a teen, she never pursued it. However, it wasn’t until later, after building up her career and skills as a witch, that she finally decided to give Amos a go. The attraction was electric and soon after their wedding, they welcomed their first child, Sarah-Jane. Sarah-Jane, although romantic, was extremely pragmatic and logically minded. Once her mind was set, she was dogged in achieving her goals. Next came Demi, a purple haired innocent girl who loved her mother with all her heart... oh, how things would change. Finally, came Gunnar, who followed in his grandfather’s passion for music and played the violin from an early age.

Unfortunately, tragedy struck the family early. Poor Amos was electrocuted whilst repairing a wind turbine on the property, leaving Kaila to manage everything on her own. She was constantly busy, trying to maintain her flower garden in her greenhouse to advance in career, whilst simultaneously practicing her potions making in a secret basement lair hidden under the family cemetery. She did her best as a single mum, but there was one child in particular who suffered... Demi. Demi worked tirelessly at school to get amazing grades and was constantly doing chores around the house to try garner praise from her mum. Who got all that praise? Sarah-Jane. Despite this, Demi never became angry with Sarah-Jane and the girls grew up super close, despite being very different. However, the resentment towards her mother grew in Demi and as she finally aged up to a young adult, she became evil. 

Sarah-Jane was the first one to move out. Whilst in the pursuit of answers to the Strangerville mystery, she met townie Samantha Tanaka. After their marriage, Sarah-Jane joined the science career and moved permanently to Strangerville. Not able to stand it in the house with her mother, Demi was soon to follow, marrying Haven and moving to the spooky neighbourhood of Forgotten Hollow... a premonition for things to come, perhaps?

That left Kaila with her last child, Gunnar. Kaila still loved Amos with all of her heart, but before her death had finally begun a relationship with an old flame and enjoyed her remaining time swimming laps in her pool or tending to her garden. ---

Honestly, I wasn’t that excited at the start to play with this Gen, especially since I had only started actively play with Kaila as a teen. I had to do a complete 180 in my mind, because my original heir was supposed to be Macy. However, the heir is supposed to be eldest child of the opposite gender, so when I realised Kaila existed, I had to go with it. But I’m beyond glad I did, because this was by far the most fun I’ve had since I started the challenge. I loved the storylines that came out and it forced me to play in a lot of new ways. I had so many ambitious plans with Kaila, I actually really wanted her to master potions and floristry and open up a retail store where she sold her potions and flowers... but these skills TOOK SO LONG TO MASTER. Getting to level 10 in the florist career was a nightmare and the potions thing took just as long!! Not to mention I spent her entire lifetime breeding frogs... in the end I think I actually just got all of them Sylvan Glade and all my elaborate research and breeding plans were a waste of time. This was also the first time I tried to make my own house completely from scratch. It was hard to find a house for the siblings on the gallery, so I had to make my own. I really liked the interior and the yard was quite nice, but the outside was a mess.
