Moving on and Baby 22

Addy -  Dinner was nice, Ethan, thank you.
Ethan - I'm glad you're having a good time. Would you like to walk over to the theater?
Addy - Sure.

They walked over to the theater.

Ethan - Did you like the play Adella?

Addy - Mhmm. 

Ethan - The ending was a surprise, I never would have guessed.

Addy - Oh, I know.Hey, wanna watch the stars?

Ethan -  Sure.

Ethan -  Oh look, a shooting star.

Addy - Another one, make a wish.

Ethan - I don't need to.

"Aw, come on Nicks."
Nicki - Cory, not in front of everyone.
Cory - Okay babe, if that's what you want, but I want to talk to you at some point, alone and before you start to protest any more I do just mean talk.

Until he showed up at the kids birthday party Addy hadn't known of Nicki's boyfriend,Cory Connors, meeting him she was a little surprised, he wasn't really the type she expected to see with Nicki but her girl clearly liked him.

 She told her how she had met him while fishing out back.

 That she saw him across the water and decided to go over and say hello.

  And how they just seemed to hit it off instantly and had been seeing each other since.

Being the oldest Grape was the first to age.

Grape grew up into a handsome young man who should have no trouble getting any girl he wants.

Mason was next.

He grew into a good looking teenager and already has his sites set on a girl, though he won't say who.

Next was Matthew.

Addy thought he looked surprisingly like her great uncle Julian after whom her most recent little boy was named.

Serenity and Micheal are in town so we spent the day hanging out.

I couldn't help but laughing at her when she tried to scare him and he didn't even react at all.

Nicki is real close with her Aunt Ren, can you tell?

Nicki - I'm so sorry we didn't get to talk at the party, it was just so crazy with all my brothers growing up and everything and then yesterday my aunt showed up and...

 Cory - It's alright baby, don't worry about it, besides we're alone now aren't we?

Nicki - Mhmm. What'd you wanna talk about?

Cory - Well, a, I was going to ask if you wanted to, to move in? You said that at first you didn't move out of your mom's to help with your little brothers but that the only reason you're still there is cause you don't have another place so...

Nicki -  You're so cute when you're nervous. 

Cory - Only when I'm nervous? And who said I was nervous? 

Nicki - Okay you're always cute, even when you wouldn't stop talking long enough for me to say yes. 

Julian's a child now.

Just as she had with Julian Addy had go to the hospital to become pregnant with her twenty second child, Anna named after her aunt. Even more then Miranda had Anna seemed to have got her hair and I color from Addy's father Adam. Miranda had his pink eyes and had pink hair because of him but it was pure pink where as Anna's, like Adam's is red and pink.

After having Anna Addy had her traditional post birth makeover coloring her hair a light blue color with white highlights and selecting a pink and white outfit.

A few days after having Anna she went out with Ethan again, meeting up with him at a park and was surprised to see who else was there.
Addy - Oh look, Dawn and Newbie are here.

Addy - DAWNIE... Hey.

Ethan - I think she's a little distracted.
Addy - I think you're right. You hungry?
Ethan - I could eat. 
Addy -  Okay.

Eventually Dawn noticed her friend and her and Newbie joined them for burgers.
Dawn - I love your new hair Addy, it's so pretty.
Addy - Thanks Dawnie. 

Both couples sat and watched the stars for a while.


Dawn - It's getting late, we're gonna head home.
 Addy - Okay, nightie night Dawnie Dawn.
Dawn -  Nightie night Addy Addy.

Ti amerò per sempre

After arriving in Egypt Addy looked around, surprised at how good it felt to be back.

Dawn bought supplies before they headed out to adventure.

Dawn - Race you!

Addy - You're on!

Dawn beat Addy to the Sphinx.

Addy -  Last time I granted me access because I was cursed but we'll have to find another way in this time, I'm pretty sure this was were the door was, if I could just figure out how to open it. 

Addy - Got It.

Addy - Come on.

Addy - This panel shut off most of the fire traps but we still can't get past this one, we'll have to swim.

They each dived in on opposite sides.

Addy - Hey Dawnie, see the spot infront of that section of wall?

Dawn - Yea.

Addy - How much you wanna bet there's a hidden door there?

Dawn - One way to find out.

The door opened into a room that had the keystone needed to move on though the tome.

Addy looked up at the statue she had prayed to in her previous trip and started to feel faint. She stared into it's eyes and the gentle glow grew brighter the longer she looked until she couldn't anymore.

Dawn gasped in concern as her friend fell to the ground.

Addy felt like she was floating and a gentle breeze brushed against her skin bringing the smell of cherry blossoms to her nose. She opened her eyes to behold the land of her visions. She held her hand to her chest, he was there, she could feel it. 

Dawn had taken her back to the hotel and put her on one of the beds.

Dawn - What's going on in that head of yours Addy?

Pulling away  from the kiss she looked into his eyes.

Addy - Oh, mon amour, I've missed you so much.

Anthony - I know. I've missed you too mia cara, but I've been watching over you.

He sat down and beckoned to her.

Anthony - Sit with me.

She happily sank down next to him.

They just sat there for a while, not saying anything, just being near. She scooted closer to him and leaned over to rest her head on his shoulder but he pulled away, sighing. She looked at him questioningly.

Anthony - Addy...
His voice was full of sadness and pain and her heart sank knowing she didn't want to hear what he was about to say.
Anthony - I love you,so much, so much...
Addy -You don't have to tell me that, I know, so why are you?
Anthony -  I want you to be happy.
Addy - I am happy. I can see you again. I, I can be with you again.
Anthony - No, no, you can't. 

Addy - I-I don't understand. My visions, now that they've returned you can come to me and

Anthony - No! I can't, I can't do that to you. I'm gone, and, and I can't let you keep holding on to something that isn't there. You need to let go,you, you need to move on. 

Addy - No! No...noo

Anthony - Yes,I had hoped you would see it for yourself but I realize now that the only way you'll accept this is if it's from me. 

The smile she had had before was gone, Dawn knew her friend was upset, but she didn't know why.

Dawn - Addy? Addy, you need to wake up.

Addy -No!!

He wipes the tears from her face.

Anthony - Please don't cry, you have to know this is hard for me but I just want whats best for you. I want you to be happy.

Addy - I am happy, with you.

Anthony - You need to let someone else make you happy now. Please.

Sadly,she nods.

Addy - Alright, I won't run away if I met someone.

Anthony - If?  You already have. I told you I've been watching and I know you've been denying you'r feelings because of me.

She remained silent.

Anthony - I don't want you to be alone, say you'll give him a chance.

Addy - I promise.

Addy - Can I at least have one last kiss?

Anthony - Ti amerò per sempre,I will always love you. Farewell, Adella, mia dolce.

Addy - Goodbye,mon amour.

By the time Addy came to Dawn had fallen asleep. She sat there in silence, thinking over everything, soaking it all in. She walked over and gently shook her best friend.

Addy - Dawnie, wake up.

Dawn - You're up. Are you alright? You we crying.

Addy - I'm fine...I'm ready to go home.

Dawn - Did ,um ,did you...

Addy - I had a vision, yes.

She rang the doorbell and waited for the answer.

Ethan Adella.

Addy - Hi...
