I Never Promised You A Rose Garden - Ina's Rosebud Challenge

thankyou all for reading along, it means so much

Day 42

I say day 42 as I forgot to right in day 41 (the day young Savanna was born)



(Singing --- "Love, love me do, You know I love you, I'll always be true, So please, love me do, Whoa, love me do, Yeah, love me do
Whoa, oh, love me do")
"Oooh someones in a good mood"
"INA, for petes sake, am naked here"
"Don't worry I pixelated your man parts out"
"That's not the point, what do you want?"
"It's Troys birthday, and since you are the only one up, you need to bake a cake"
"Fine, once am done here, now shoo, out, close the door"
"Kk am going"
(Says to himself "I really need to try and lock that door")

About half an hour later...



"Uncle Troy, how old are you now?"
"I'm about 20 now I think, am not sure what age young adults start at to be honest"
"Wow your old!!!"
"Excuse me young lady if Troy, sorry your Uncle Troy is old what does that make me?"
"How old are you Ina?"
"Errrr ok, I'm 44 nearly 45"
"Hahhaaaaa that makes you really old, like ancient...."
"Cheeky!! Hahaaa"

Later that day.....



"Sorting the garden I see"
"Yeah, it needs weeding, watered and harvested, any chance you can help?"
"No can do, I can't fit through the screen"
"Well can you get someone to help me then?"
"Sure lets see who is about"





The only other 2 occupants at this time were too young to help in the garden. Melody was creating a mess while Savanna was clearing a mess. Total opposites here LOL

Day 43

The day didnt start very well today, Anabelle got up to a busted sink. She set about fixing it. When she was done her loving husband and her younger brother were up.



"Thats right you 2 men just sit there and gossip while I, me, a woman fixed the sink now am clearing the mess, not to worry that am starving, need to get the girls up and ready and do all the housework, oh no, just you 2 sit there"
"Oh, errr, sweetie do you want me to help you?"
"NO, did I ask for help?"
"Well, errr..."
"No I didnt... I am quite capable of doing everything myself, I usually have do everything myself anway"
"Good lord Anabelle, did you get out of bed the wrong side or something?"
"Hi Ina, no, am just.....urgh not feeling appreciated"

Not long after Anabelles little rant....



"I love you, I love you, I love you.....pucker up darlin am going to borrow your lips for a while"
"Oh, Lucas am sorry for ranting earlier"
"Nope my darling I'm sorry for not helping"
"I'm sorry for making you feel you need to say sorry"
"I'm sorry for ....."
"Right enough with the sorry for this and sorry for that. Jeez they are so mushy"



We had a guest at dinner. Juliet... I have decided to embrace her, no more sending her home, she gets an invite in each time. I feel sorry for her actually, she has no life...



After dinner the girls went out to play

"Sooo Melody, why do you think Uncle Troy is always on his combnooter"
"I dunno, mom says he talks to someone on it"
"Who?"
"I dunno, we could ask him"
"Nah, ask dad to ask him"
"Why dad? Why not mom?"
"Dad is a man, like on the tv show when they say lets have a man to man talk"
"Oh yeah, mom cant do that as she is not a man"
"Yeah, will we grow bresticles like mom?"
"I dunno, maybe"
"Auntie Juliet has bigger ones"
"I know, the are hugious bigious booblies"
"I dont want them like that"
"Nah me neither, wanna go ask dad for a story?"
"After cake, mom said we can have cake tonight"



"I heard mom say to dad that Uncle Troy has a su something coming"
"Whats a su something?"
"Maybe a new car or something"
"When is it coming? It might be a toy or somethin for us"
"Am tired wanna go see dad now?"



The girls finished off their day with a story from Lucas, I only stayed around to hear the first few lines...

"Once upon a time, there was a young princess called......"

Day 44

The next morning Troy decided to take the girls to the park, he had arranged to meet someone there. What better cover than to take the girls.



"Booglywooglybumpaloo....Look just act like this so as not to draw attention to yourself"
"Look Troy I could get in lots of trouble for helping you with this"
"I know, you are getting payed well for doing it though"
"Uncle Troy, Uncle Troy I blowed you up"
"Look, just act like a monster for a bit, I will send an email later with more details"



"Gagglyswagglyditdedum.....Ok, look the package will arrive in a few days, have you told them yet?"
"Nope am not going to until the package is here safe and sound"

I wonder what The package is?? Well I actually know but you will have to wait and see....hahahaaa am so evil

Meanwhile back at home....



"Hey Anabelle......whoah are you pregnant again?"
"Haha bit slow on the uptake there Ina"
"Well I have been busy you know"
"Doing what?"
"Its a secret between me and Troy"
"Not for long"



"What are you doing?"
"Trying to read his emails"
"You cant do that...thats an invasion of privacy!!!!"
"Look, if he is up to no good I have a right to know"
"Its nothing bad, its a good thing for him"
"Ok, I cant figure out his password, time for back up"





"So you see, they are up to something and I cant get into his emails"
"Well am sorry sis, but you will have to ask him whats going on, its not my place to say"
"You know!!!! What is it??"
"Am not saying anything, look dont worry, just talk to him"

Jeepers I nearly forgot its time for Melody to age up. I sent Anabelle to make a cake and brought home the girls and Troy, Lucas was at work.



"Hi Melody, wow you look like your mom did when she was a teen"
"Yeah, good looks run in the family"

Well so do big boobies and pointy chins but we will not mention that for now haha



"Hi sweetie, wow you look so so..."
"Hi dad, like mom?"
"Yeah, just like her"
"I have your eye color though"
"Yes you do, but other than that you are the double of your mom"
"Is that a good thing?"
"Yes of course it is"

Later.....



"So Troy, whats with all the secrecy?"
"My lips are sealed, I cant say until maybe tomorrow night"
"Go on just tell me whats going on"
"Nope, am going to bed"

With that he left Anabelle munching on her cake and Lucas playing on his tablet.

Day 45



"So will you tell me now?"
"Nope, not yet...need to get a few things sorted first"
"You moving out?"
"I will eventually but not until Su...the surprise is here"
"Su? Su what? Su...oh dear Lucas my water just broke"

Troy went off to work, did I say he is a spy? The girls went off to school and Lucas took Anabelle to the hospital. They were away for a very very long time.....



"What you got there Lucas? Is it a ..."
"It's a boy Ina"
"Meet my son"
"Whats his name?"
"We havent decided yet"

Actually they did call him something but I forgot to write it down, I am very bad at remembering names and have to jott them down when I can.

We aged up young no name for now, again the curse of the pointy chin has struck...



I went to see what everyone was doing, the girls were in bed, whatshisname went to play on the monkey bars, Lucas was in the bath and Anabelle was not home yet, where is she then?



"Anabelle, what the frick are you doin?"
"Oh I was so tired I just had to nap here"
"But this bench is right across the road from the house, you couldnt have walked a few more steps and been in your own bed instead of out here where everyone can see you"
"Did you even breathe in that sentence?"
"Nope, well?"
"Look, I was well and truly cream crackered, and needed to rest"
"Well go home now then"
"Ok am going, oh has Troy got his surprise yet?"
"Look this is like Christmas the surprise is not coming until everyone is asleep"
"So I dont get to see it tonight?"
"Nope, now shoo, off to bed with you and take Lucas with you"

Anabelle did as she was told and went off to bed with Lucas in tow. I sent their son to bed too, I had to buy a bed first though haha.
Are you ready to see what the surprise is? Are you sure you want to know?

Ok tune in next time to find out.... This is Ina signing out

Hello, Hellooooo, helllooooooooo

First off let me show you the progress so far



Generation 1 (Founding Character)
Anya Morgan > Married Sydney > Children > Erika, Anabelle, Kara, Juliet and Troy.

Generation 2 (Won race in hooking a spouse)
Anabelle Morgan > Married Lucas > Children > Melody, Savanna and Bret

Did you notice I remembered his name, Bret...note to self, boys name is Bret, in fact am gonna right that down so I don't forget again.

Ok so last time I left you dangling, waiting for news, whats the surprise?







"Oh you made it, how was the journey?"
"The trip was ok, a bit long but fine"
"Ahem, you gonna introduce me then?"
"Ina this is Suyin"
"Hi Suyin"
"Hi"
"Soooo you told your sister you have a friend staying yet?"
"Oh, I'm not a friend, I'm his wife"
"Wife!!! When? How? You never said anything....Oh lordy what will Anabelle say?"
"I'm sorry Ina, but its none of her business, I am Troys wife and thats that"

With that they went to bed. Hmmmm do you get the feeling she a little bossy!!

I cant remember what day we are on....Oh dear, well I will have to continue without days I think.



"So did the package arrive mate?"
"Yeah, right on time too"
"You look a bit tired this morning, everything ok?"
"Errr yes Lucas, am just, well, I didnt sleep much"
"Why not?"
"Errr I was looking after the package"
"You gonna tell me what the package is?"
"Yeah, in a bit, morning Anabelle can we talk?"
"Of course, grab a seat"

Troy went on to tell Anabelle and Lucas all about the package, I suppose we can call her Suyin now haha.



"This is Suyin, Suyin this is my sister Anabelle and her husband Lucas"
"Pleased to meet you Suyin, so how did you two meet?"
"We met online"
"Troy I was asking Suyin not you"
"Well as Troy said, we met online"
"What through chatter?"
"No, through a different site"
"What site?"
"Oh you wont know it"
"Try me..."
"Its called ...."
"It doesnt matter what its called, I met Suyin, we chatted a while, I invited her to stay, end of story"
"Not quite end of story though is it?"
"What do you mean?"
"I know there is more to it Troy I am your sister, I know these things"
"You are right, we are married"
"Married!!! How? When? How long?"
"Too many questions sis, just know its what I, we want and I, we are happy"

Anabelle is not convinced this was the right move by Troy, but she had to trust her brother made the right choice. Later that day...



"Hi Suyin, what ya doin?"
"Oh, errrr nothing"
"You playing a game? Which one? Let me see.."
"No...am done now"

Oh I think she is hiding something....must speak to Anabelle later.



While Suyin played guitar, I went looking for Anabelle. I told her my thoughts on Suyin, she said she would look into it more.



"Here Suyin, sit and have some lunch with me"
"Thankyou I will"
"Now us girls can chat, you know, relax and chin wag"
"Sure"
"Sooooo, you love my brother?"
"Anabelle, could you be more subtle haha"
"Ssshhh Ina, let me handle this"
"Fine, but be more friendly, you know build up to the main reason she is here, dont just blurt it out"
"Ok, ok...."
"Yes, I love your brother, I wouldnt have married him if I didnt"
"How long have you been married?"
"Just a few days"
"How did he propose?"
"He asked me over the phone, not so romantic eh!"
"How did, I mean when was the ceremony?"
"On Friday just gone. He flew out to the island and we got married there and then."
"Why didnt you come back with him after the wedding?"
"There was paper work to sort out"
"Paper work?"
"Yes my visa, my passport, my travel expenses"
"Who paid for you to come?"
"Troy, my husband of course"
"My brother"
"Yes, now if you have finished interrogating me, I would like to go out now"

With that she left the house. Anabelle had to go to work, Lucas had the day off but was no where to be found, the kids were at school and Troy, well Troy seemed to be hiding from everyone.



"Troy, hunnybunny"
"Yes Suyin"
"Can we move out, get a place of our own?"
"You only just go here"
"I know but...."
"But what?"
"Well I have a feeling your sister doesn't like me"
"Don't be silly, Anabelle loves everyone"

The kids came home at that point and Troy asked Suyin to help him help them with their homework.



That didnt take long did it.

"Uncle Troy, can we call Suyin Auntie Suyin?"
"Yes of course you can, can't they hunny"
"Hmmm call me auntie?"
"Yes, can they call you Auntie Suyin?"
"I think just Suyin is fine for now"

Oh I dont like her one bit do you!!!!!!



"Melody, what do you think of Suyin?"
"She's pretty, but hmm not sure if I like her yet"
"I know how you feel"



"So you see sis, we really need our own space"
"But you can stay here as long as you want, you know that"
"I know, but Su..."
"Suyin wants to move out, I gathered that. Look you are a grown man, you know your own mind, I can't stop you from moving out or doing anything you want to but just remember one thing...I am here if you need me for anything"
"I know sis, we will move out tomorrow. I have rented a small place not far from here"
"Where?"
"The old Zest place"
"Oh yeah, I heard he moved away"
"It was odd, he was there one day, then the next he was gone but I got a good deal on the rent"
"Ok, I will say goodnight now as I need to chat to Lucas about Savanna's birthday"

She didnt need to chat to Lucas at all, she went for a wee cry.

"Anabelle, pssst Anabelle"
"What is it Ina"
"You want me to ged rid of her?"
"Who?"
"Suyin"
"How?"
"Well, I think I can delete her out, if I had master controller I could of totally annihilated her"
"Who the heck is that? Some sort of assassin?"
"No haha its a mod thing, anyhoo I havent got one so I cant use that, but you want me to ged rid of her?"
"No, no...let them move out, he is a grown up and needs to make his own mistakes"
"You think she is a mistake then?"
"Oh yes, without a doubt"
"Me too, look if you need me to..."
"I know who to call if I need it"
"Kk night night"
"Night night"

The next morning (Saturday) the younger kids were up 1st



"So I heard mom talking to Ina, the invisible one, she said she could make someone disappear"
"Ooooh is she like a witch or something?"
"Nah i think she is a magissian"
"Oh like the man on tv, but she is a girl and not a man, the one who sawed the girl in a box?"
"Yeah like him, he had a purlple cape and funny hair, he made the man go in a room and said abnacadnura and the man was gone"
"Cool, I wanna be the magiss, magicc...mom how do you say maggisssiian?"
"Magician Bret, why?"
"Nothing, wanna go play at being magicians?"
"Yeah but am not being sawed up"



"Hey Lucas, catching up on the gardening I see"
"Someones got to do it, its not been touched in days"
"Why not get melody to help you?"
"I might have to, there is so many bugs flying round"
"Its the fruit, it attracts them"
"I know haha"
"Want me to go fetch melody for you?"
"Yeah that would be great Ina, thanks"
"No probs"



"Awww you 2 look fab"
"Thanks Ina"
"Melody your dad wants to know if you could help him in the garden?"
"Sure, you gonna be ok mom?"
"Yes sweetie, I am just fine and dandy, you go help your dad"

Melody went off to help Lucas, Anabelle decided to tidy up.



"Whoooah, you look awful, you ok?"
"Am tired thats all, I forgot to do a cake for Savanna and its her birthday tomorrow"
"Look go to bed I will get Lucas or melody to make a cake"
"Thanks"

Good grief Anabelle was so tired, I am such a bad creator, I was so intent on getting the garden sorted I forgot to check the vitals of my family. Bret was on red for bladder and sleep, Anabelle was over tired, Lucas was bordering red for hygiene and the only ones who were ok were Melody and Savanna. Melody made the cake and Savanna aged up while Lucas was in the shower.



"Eeeek who the heck are you?"
"Its me dad, Savanna"
"Oh, err, you look nice"
"No I dont LOL, am off to the all important dresser to plan my look"
"Ok see you in a bit then"



"What ya doin?"
"Waiting on Savanna so I can see her new look"
"Oh good I'll wait with you"



Now that better, as you can see Lucas got fed up waiting and headed off to bed. Which is where I am sending Savanna too.

I will leave you there for now, but will be back soon with more from our little family.
