After Clayton celebrated his birthday, his household bills were due. Great way to start the next phase of one's life, right?

Well, it turns out it was because his mail carrier was Miss Naomi Tribble.

It was a whirlwind romance. Naomi was creative, loved the arts, and always laughed at Clayton's jokes. They settled into home life together quickly. Naomi started in the Painter career, and Clayton continued writing and maintaining his ever-growing garden. He even met the Garden Guru, Jasmine Holiday, who gave him information and supplies about some special seeds.




Even though the lovebirds got along swimmingly, there was one point of contention. Naomi did not like children. At all. And had no plans to ever bear any. She and Clayton talked about it constantly to find a middle ground. Clayton suggested adoption, but Naomi disliked that option even more. As they grew together and worked on solidifying their careers and relationship, Naomi thought that maybe if their potential baby was a melding of her and Clayton, she wouldn't dislike them
too much. So they decided to try. In the end, she may like the product of their union, but she definitely didn't like getting there.


But before you know it, Gabriella Hughes, the heir, was on her way!





All was right in the world. Naomi loved Gabriella more than anyone else in the world. And Clayton was her soulmate. So soon after Gabriella was enrolled in school, the Hughes eloped! (I have a thing for having couples exchange vows in the kitchen. lol) And VERY soon after that, baby #2 was on its way!
