Chapter 6.7: In which there are six kids.

Avery tried to ignore the signs of her sixth pregnancy.  How could she think about having another baby when her other children were growing up already?  Each of her twins were having a pool party to celebrate their birthdays.  The girls were becoming teens and the boys were becoming children.

Everyone enjoys a good pool party.

Chapter 6.6: In which everyone is happy but Anne-Marie.

Though Robin’s death bothered the entire family, her passing was not as upsetting as that of Jabari and Suzanne.  Truthfully, both Raphael and Avery felt a lot less stressed with her gone.  Anne-Marie was more affected, but she had never known her grandparents so Aunt Robin was like her grandmother.

Anne-Marie mourns Robin's death.

Even with the passing of her aunt, Avery’s third pregnancy was uneventful, though she was almost always on the verge of exhaustion since she had to deal with two toddlers and a child.  She was looking forward to the birth of her babies (yes, she had gone to the doctor and found out she was expecting twins).  She couldn’t wait until Raphael quit working to help with the children.  Not that he wasn’t already very helpful.  But Avery really wanted to get back to work.  She had a long way to go to make it to Star News Anchor.
