2. Kimberly Heavenly stood in the bathroom of her new home that she shared with her future husband Edwin Sharpe, she could hear snatches of the radio flowing into the bathroom “And today, six weddings excite the residents of Kimberton, the first of which is Kimberly Heavenly to Edwin Sharpe who met as freshman at the nearby university Academie Le Tour,” Kimberly frowned , indecisive thoughts had flown through her about the wedding after she’d secretly heard him on the phone talking to a woman named “C”. Kimberly frowned harder, she could just call off the wedding. Though what would Edwin do to her then? She gathered up her wedding dress and headed off to get ready for her wedding in a hour.
3. They married an hour later, Kimberly still worried if she’d made the right decision or not.
4. Over at the military barracks , Audrey was busy preparing for her own wedding ceremony, to James. Audrey smiled she had grown to love James over the last few years. She brushed a strand of her hair back and turned to walk out the door.
5. But before they could marry, another pair were married Kimberly’s twin sister Kayleigh and one of Madeline Heavenly’s childhood friends Mitch Benson.
6. Soon after Kayleigh and Mitch it was the turn of Audrey and James, who married quietly in the military barracks to avoid the attention of the evil witch Ciara.
7. Over at the house Jess and Liam shared, Jess was answering the phone quite chirpily, after all she was getting married in an hour. “Hello Ida darling,” came the icy cool voice of Ciara, “Mother! How the hell do you know my number!” , Ciara laughed like a tinkling bell “I wanted to congratulate you Jessica, getting married to that Heavenly boy that I picked out for you many years ago, “ “You have not been my mother after what you did to Charlotte!” exclaimed Jess furiously. “Now dear who is that heiress, I assume it’s not that pug-ugly Kimberly or the youngest Addison, “ Jess took a breath seething with rage “So is it Catrina or Kayleigh, tell me Ida honey,” without a single word more Jess terminated the call.
8. “Did you get that?” asked Liam who produced a phone from his pocket “Every word,” said the voice of Addie from the phone “We owe you one Jess honey,” Elmer commenting from Liam’s phone . “Yeah thanks Jessica darling have a good wedding,” Madi said, you could almost see her smiling.
9. Meanwhile Kimberly had been subjected to a painful and difficult labour, “Well?” snapped the impatient voice of her husband Edwin Sharpe. “You have a son,” Kimberly managed still in great pain “I’ve named him Henry,” Edwin glanced at her once before preparing to go out to work “ If you aren’t pregnant again by the time Henry is a toddler, there will be consequences!” he slammed the door on his way out “Oh Henry!” muttered Kimberly cradling her son “I love him so much, but why is my life hell,”
10. Kayleigh had a much more pleasant labour giving birth to a boy named Jamie who had skin like his father and Kaitlyn or Kait for short who was very much like her mother.
11. Cat Heavenly had recently got married to her college boyfriend Ash, now here she was cradling her newborn daughter Charlotte Addison, named for Jess’s sister Charlotte and of course little Charlotte’s aunt (and Cat’s favourite sister) Addison.
12. Jess was cradling her newborn daughter Scarlet Madeline a few days later, Scarlet had a brother Dominic. “Jess what’s the matter?” Liam said coming across her sobbing holding Scarlet. Jess turned to look at him “She looks like Charlotte,” she said referring to her, who had been separated from Jess when they were both born. Charlotte had suffered under a torture filled regime by one of Ciara’s assistants “E” who when Jess and Charlotte were 17, let her go out to a teenage party then forced her to swallow sleeping tablets before setting the entire place on fire. Jess had only found out after Charlotte’s death certificate was given to Ciara and Jess had read it.
13. Liam hugged Jess tight “Anyway did you hear about Audrey and James, they have a son named Thomas now!” he said hoping to cheer her up.
15. A few years later “Aren’t you gorgeous Gem!” said Addie smiling at her three year old daughter, “All your cousins are having birthdays too,” Gems full name was Gemma Claire Heavenly.
16. The other granddaughters of Madi were absolutely gorgeous, they were (from left to right), Scarlet Madeline (with her twin brother Dominic) who looked quite a lot like her aunt Charlotte, Charlotte Addison who looked a lot like her mother Cat and Kaitlyn Benson the daughter of Mitch and Kayleigh (pictured with her adopted twin brother Jamie).
17. Thomas Heavenly, the son of James and Audrey looked a lot like his father than everyone expected.
18. “Well?” Madi asked her daughter spotting the newborn daughter in Addison’s arms
19. Madi walked into the room , “Rose Madeline Heavenly, she’s got your eyes mum, my eyes, she’s got to share rooms with Gemmy for the minute, she might be heiress,”
20. Madi and Elmer soon had their sixtieth birthdays and celebrated quite happily, but unknown to them their eldest daughter was having a very unhappy time.
21. Kimberly smiled cradling Henry her son, but she froze and looked at the test on the counter. What the hell was she going to do? She wasn’t pregnant....
