Chapter 1.67: The Joke Off

Man I wish we could do this every night, but there was school. Ugh, why did we need school anyways? 

 "Dang... I didn't know you could tell some pretty funny jokes, Maxie," I said, laughing at the last one she told. Kealyn had almost fallen off the sofa twice now as Maxine had let the jokes go, and I had to admit it was kind of funny seeing Kealyn scramble to stay on the sofa. 

"Hey, what is it called when a cat wins a dog show?" I asked, grinning. I was almost certain I was going to stump them this time, but then Maxine laughed and shook her head.

"A CAT-HAS-TROPHY!" Kealyn said, giggling. How could they stump me but I couldn't stump them? "That was an easy one, everyone knows it," she said.

"I didn't," Maxine said gently, still giggling.

"Hey kiddos," Mr. Folly said, as he walked in followed by Mrs. Folly. "I see we are competing for who has the best jokes, and I have one that will stump you all!" Mr. Folly said. "What goes in hard and dry, but comes out soft and wet?" he asked.

 "Jack!" Mrs. Folly said, giving him a look. 

 "Gum!" Mr. Folly said, "but I like where your mind is going." Then he picked Mrs. Folly up and slung her over his shoulder as she laughed and shook her head. "On that note, I believe we have some important business to discuss," he said winking as we got off the sofa as he acted like he was going to toss her on it.



 It was probably a good thing that Kealyn's sister and grandparents walked through the doors then or else Mrs. Folly would have been tossed down.


"Oh my, look what we walked into dear," Kealyn's grandmother said, laughing.

"Indeed, makes me want to get busy, hmm?" Kealyn's grandfather said, winking at her. Her grandmother laughed and shook her head.

"Oh please, you can't even get it up anymore," Kealyn's grandmother said, laughing even harder.

Chapter 1.47: A Tragic Past

Tabitha "Daddy, can we talk?" I asked. I kept thinking about what I overheard mother saying to this boy, and I couldn't believe it. If what she said was true, then I had two siblings I didn't know about and it was kind of upsetting. All I've ever been told was that I was an only child, and now it's like my whole world turned upside down. "Yes sweetheart?" Daddy asked, smiling at me. I always loved how he talked to me, like I was the only thing that mattered. I smiled, but then shook my head. "Who are Joseph and Valentine?" I asked. I wasn't sure what I was expecting to hear but I sure didn't expect to see the color drain from his face. He looked genuinely afraid, but of what? "Where did you hear about them?" Daddy asked me, and I frowned. "Mother was talking to someone, I think his name was Hayden or something?" I asked, shrugging. The boy wasn't important but the names were, the names of

Authors Note: This chapter starts Serene into the story, or more accurately her point of view. Now that Toby is dead, she officially gets her debut! Also, their wonderful new house they live in is thanks to Glenkarri from the D.N.A team! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mama decided it was best if they move, because papa and the old house was too sad. The old house was filled with the haunting old tunes of the piano, the laughter from when he told us silly jokes and the sweet sound of his voice when he read her bedtime stories. This house, it meant nothing to Serene. It wasn't where her papa was, and it wasn't where she wanted to be.    This house made her feel so lonely, so alone. She had been so sad, and cried all the time at first but now she was angry. She was so angry at her mama; it was all her fault that papa died. Serene had heard something, a very bad something and it changed everything.  --------------

"You want to have our wedding here, baby?" Seth asked me. He had that dreamy look in his eyes again, like he always does when he talks about our future together and I smiled, it was pretty here. I could just see it now, walking down the aisle in my wedding dress and Seth in a nice suit as my mother smiled at me at the end before giving me to him for the rest of my life. "You can see it too," he whispered. "I do," I said softly, and he smiled. "What if we have have another baby in a few years," Seth asks, "I'll try real hard to make sure it's a girl so we have one of each." I laughed, it was just like him to joke around like that, and I shook my head. I wasn't anywhere near ready to have this baby let alone to start thinking about a second baby. "Okay, baby. Maybe we will stick with one kid for our family and get Valentine to push out some little cousins for our boy," he said. "Do you think we'll be
