Once Theresa joined at moved in at the behest of Trisha, Trisha and Dru worked hard to finish up their studies. After their final exams, the spent a couple more days on campus, seeing to the end of things. Theresa got engaged to Dalhousie. That was her big, grad surprise. Dru spent a lot of time on the phone, fielding calls of her sister Keely and mother Stevie. Stevie was not happy about Keely's situation (the baby on the way before the ring on the finger) and didn't want to talk to her. Dru was starting to become sick of being the family answering machine but tried her best to keep the family peace.
On a more personal note for Dru, on her last date with Jace (which was a smashing success), she asked Jace if he wanted to move in with her after grad. He smiled but didn't really question as to where they were going to live. Maybe he should have. He was quite surprised when the taxi cab pulled up to her old house and all their stuff was being unloaded. Dru declared that she wasn't actually leaving home and that this was where they were going to live. Jace asked if there was another house on the property, like a pool house or something. Dru shook her head and said he'd being staying in Keely's old room, which became the guest room. Jace's eyebrow nearly got lost in his hairline.
"I'm sleeping in your sister's old room?" he questioned. "Not with you?"
"Well I only have a single bed and there's a double bed in the guest room. Keely had her stuff shipped over to her and Davnus' place," said Dru. Jace wanting to make sure what he assumed would be correct, continued to ask more questions.
"So you'll be sleeping..." began Jace.
"In my old room, silly," said Dru with a grin as she ran up to her old room. Jace stood in the foyer looking at the house that hadn't changed since he and Dru left for Truth U. He froze as he saw her father, Brian Seavey, come out of the kitchen, with a non too happy look on his face.
"Dru didn't tell me you were coming back with her," said Brian. Jace winced.
"I didn't know that Mr. Seavey," said Jace, silently cursing Dru vehemently in his head.
Jace got on the phone as soon as he could, trying to call Damien. Jace complained after he explained. Damien listened and only said "uhh-hunhh" since Jace wasn't really giving him the chance to say much more. When Jace finally took a breath, Damien tried to knock some sense into him.
"When I left Truth U, you said you were going to propose, right?" asked Damien.
"Yeah," replied Jace.
"You haven't done that yet, have you?"
"No," said Jace sheeplishly (is that even a word?).
"A good way to find favor in the parents of the girlfriend's eyes is to ask for her hand in marriage from the said parents, propose and keep out of her room until after the wedding," said Damien.
"Great idea!" exclaimed Jace with a grin on his face. "I'm gonna go do that now." Damien rolled his eyes, hung up the phone and hoped that any kids Jace and Dru would have would have a lot more common sense then those 2.
Needless to say, Jace proposed, Dru said yes, the parents are off his back for now but he's still not allowed in her room. Not long after the proposal though, the call came in. Keely and Davnus had the babies...yup! Babies apparently twins really run in the family. They had a boy and a girl named Blake and Blaise (respectively). Both Dru and Trisha are the happy aunties and are ready to spoil the twins rotten. Stevie has finally come around but keeps giving hints that Keely and Davnus should get married. Davnus decided to have a heart to heart with Keely's father, Brian, explaining that he did want to marry Keely but she wanted to lose the baby weight first and wait until Jace and Dru had their wedding. Brian was happy with the response and went home, wondering how he was going to tell his wife the good news.
Felicia, Angelica and Em, each bought their own little home in different parts of town. Trisha and Dalhousie scrounged together as much money as they could and bought a shop with a residential part for them to live in. Trisha is thinking of opening a shop to sell art. The house itself has a large backyard (which desperately need to be cleaned up), and a basement for more living.
This neighbourhood will take quite awhile to get through but at least it's no more University for me for quite awhile and as of yet, there are only 3 teens to send anyways but there will be a large baby boom soon and I didn't even realize it. Keely and Davnus just had their twins, Sandy and Ven will be having their baby soon, Felicia Hernandez (just realized that I have 2 Felicia's in my neighbourhood) is about to pop any day now. Plus there are still all the children and teens that need to get ready for University. This should be fun. =)
