Genetics Episode 17

And in a pipe she files to the motherland
or sells love to another man
it's too cold outside
for angels to fly....

As you can probably tell I've been absolutely obsessed with Ed Sheeran, so don't be surprised if this story takes a turn for the romantic next generation :D

Anyway, on to whatever you want to call this crazy thing I call a challenge. :) CHAPTER 17!!

So,  Jade has been busy - loosing the baby weight, that is. She recently gained a little more than a few pounds, and, in an athletic rage, took to the treadmill for 12 hours straight. 

She did like her kids, though. As much as those things can be liked.

She even let Kane sit in the garden for a little while. And it was most definitely not because he was great at screaming his head off at the turn of every hour.

"Oh great, just my luck -- another one of you" Mint scowled. First the little screamer, and now the little whiner. What did he want this time, and where in god's name was Jade? Wasn't she supposed to be taking care of the little bugger? "I won't, under any circumstances, read you a bed time story, if that's what you're here for."

He imitated her. "I won't under any circumstances..."

"You've crossed the wrong river, buddy," Mint said in a dangerous tone of voice. She thought back to her history major and how Cesar had crossed the Rubicon, invading Rome and winning. This would not be one of those times, she vowed. She would have to do something - a stern talking to wasn't going to cut it, but what?

On the other side of the house, the shower lay abandoned... it was massage time between Jade and Tom. Naturally, just being around water made Tom feel more relaxed (given his history), but massages after a hard day swimming in the olympic sized pool at work were hard to beat. Especially if they were being given by your sweat pant clad wife whilst you were shirtless.

Soon enough, reality called, though, and Jade left to tend to her boys. They had, by now, grown into stinky toddlers, but there was nothing to be done about the smell aside from get used to it.

Speaking of smells, Jade! Have you been going a little heavy on the onions or something? Is it beans? Oh, you're pregnant.... (yep...she's preggers again, seeing as none of the children are genetically perfect...meh it's going to be a long road to the end)

Here's a baby, passed out on the floor next to a crib...

Here's the other one...being neglected as babies usually are in the Lemon-Lime household. 

In the meantime, allow me to introduce you to THE PACEMAKER - A PERFECT GARDEN FOR A PERFECT INDIVIDUAL!!! (It's Mint, by the way. I decided to give her a garden exclusively to grow and breed her perfect plants in. It's separate from her commercial garden.)

"Gah! Mommy, I fwink shomones washing us"

"I can't understand you, honey."

"But I muu go! By peeple! Dey are carrring to beh!

And I too, must go! So long, keep those feels under control, and I shall see you all in the next episode! BYYYYE

Edit: haha...yea, I forgot their names there...but I've remembered now! Dervish and Kane...I honestly can't tell which one's which, but you'll find out in subsequent chapters.
