Cosmo

COSMO

Cosmo started out life as an imaginary friend who was assigned to Nathanial. Nathanial loved Cosmo and they got on so well that Nathanial was able to concoct a potion on his chemistry lab to make Cosmo into a real person. They had lots of fun together growing up and the family welcomed her, even Aisha (though Aisha still didn’t trust Cosmo due to Lucky being taken away from her, she blamed Cosmo for years and resented the fact that Cosmo was allowed to return but Lucky was kept away). They started dating when they became teenagers and lost their virginity to each other. Cosmo went on the pill and everything was going great.

One day at school, Nathanial was eating in the lunchroom upstairs and Cosmo was in the classroom feeling horny. She decided to give herself some relief and when the school janitor offered to help, she accepted. Nathanial came down to the classroom to find his girlfriend having sex with the janitor, so he stopped them and grabbed Cosmo from behind refusing to let go while both him and the janitor teased Cosmo.

When they finally let her go Cosmo walked out of school and went home. Later on, she apologized to Nathanial and they made up. Very soon after Cosmo ‘forgot’ to take her pill and ended up pregnant, hoping that giving Nathanial a baby would convince him that she was sorry and that she was really committed to the relationship.

The janitor kept trying his luck with Cosmo, but Cosmo knew that in order to show Nathanial that she loved him and the sexual encounter with the janitor was a heat of the moment mistake, she refused any advances made my Janitor McDougall.

Cosmo became another teen mother in the house when she gave birth to their son Luka.

Mulder and Scully

Mulder and Scully had lived in Isla Paradiso for a while with their twins William and Leila. The kids grew up and one day Leila, as a young adult, disappeared without a trace. It was a very traumatic time for the family. They reported her disappearance to the police and hired private investigators. No one could find her. Years passed and there were still no leads. Dana and Fox were very rich but all the money in the world didn’t replace their lost daughter. One day Mulder turned to Scully and asked Scully what if Leila had been abducted by aliens. After all, it had happened to Mulder’s sister many years before. Or at least that’s what Mulder always believed had happened. Samantha was never found. He refused to believe that his daughter was now gone for good. They packed up their belongings and left Isla Paradiso and travelled the world in search of their missing daughter. The police had told them that they believed that Leila had just ran away, but her parents knew better. Leila was happy and there was no need for her to run away. She had a great relationship with both her parents and her brother. She was intelligent and happy. No there had to be another explanation.

Eventually the family happened upon a town called Strangeville. They headed to the sheriff’s department first. The sheriff was a very nice man if a little strange. He agreed with Mulder’s theory that Leila may have been abducted by aliens. He knew of a family by the name of Goth and the woman, Bella, had been abducted by aliens. The sheriff also told them about his alien friend who told him about a planet called Lunar Lakes. The story was that Bella’s grave was found on that planet. Mulder and Scully looked at each other with fear in their eyes. They reached for each other’s hands and held on tight. Hopefully they wouldn’t find Leila’s grave in Lunar Lakes. The sheriff agreed to get in touch with his alien friend and get Mulder, Scully and William a ride to Lunar Lakes.

It was quite a long trip but eventually the family arrived in Lunar Lakes and bought a house. They began asking around town, but no one had heard of Leila Mulder. Then one person said that they knew a Leila, but she was married, and her married name was Tomyoy. She wasn’t sure anyone knew Leila’s maiden name.

Leila was visiting her friend Melodie when she got a phone call telling her some people were going around town asking if anyone knew a Leila Mulder. Leila got a sense of déjà vu. Why did that name sound so familiar? She never knew her last name and she had no memory of who she was before she arrived in Lunar Lakes. She left Melodie’s house and headed to one of Lunar Lakes public pools. There she met a man who she’d never seen in Lunar Lakes before.

She asked, “Are you one of the people looking for Leila Mulder”.

He said “yes.” Leila could see by the look in his eyes that he recognised her.

“Who are you?” Leila asked the stranger.

“Your father, Fox Mulder. You don’t recognise me?”

“I’m sorry, I don’t. I don’t have any memory of my life before Lunar Lakes. I don’t even remember arriving here.”

“We have been looking for you for years.”

“Who’s we?”

“Myself, your mother Dana and your brother William.”

“I have a brother?”

“Yes, and parents. We all love you very much and we’ve missed you since you were taken from us.”

“I’m sorry, this is so much to take in. I’m going to need time to process it. I would like to meet Dana and William though. I need to go home right now and talk to my husband.”

“We were told you were married. Are you happy?”

“Extremely. I also have 3 kids and 2 granddaughters.”

“Oh wow. Granddaughters?”

“I was stupid when I first arrived here and had a child to someone I really shouldn’t have. She in turn obviously inherited the stupid gene and had twins at 13. She at least chose a decent guy and they are married and bringing the kids up together.”

“I really hope that we can form a relationship, I’d love to get to know you and your family. I realise you probably aren’t the same person you were the last time we saw you, but you are still our daughter and we’d both like to get to know you again.”

“Like I said, give me some time.” Mulder handed her a card with their address on it before saying their goodbyes and parting ways. Leila headed home to her family.

“Michael, can I talk to you?”

“Of course, you look as if you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. Turn around and I’ll give you a massage while we talk.”

“Oh, that would be heavenly.” Leila told Michael everything that she’d just found out and her subsequent chat with the man claiming to be her father.

“Are you absolutely certain this guy is on the up and up.”

“I think so, but I suppose I don’t know. I think I can sort of see the family resemblance, or maybe I’m trying hard to see something that isn’t really there. I honestly don’t know what to believe, I’ve dreamed that one day I would find out about my past. Maybe my prayers have been answered. I’d like to meet this guys wife and son before I believe any of it.”

“Would you like me to go with you?”

“I think this might be something I need to do alone.”

“Are you sure? It could be dangerous going into the house of a complete stranger. Especially when there’s 2 men and 1 woman. That’s 3 against one. I’d be worried in case these people aren’t who they say they are.”

“I’ll give you the address and tell you when I go. If I don’t phone you 10 minutes after arriving, you come get me.”

“Ok, that sounds fair enough.”

Leila went to meet Mulder, Scully and William and they chatted for a long time. Leila found out all about her past and Her family found out all about Leila’s life since landing in Lunar Lakes all those years ago.

Eventually the whole family decided to move, and they all moved into the same house. Mulder and Scully ended up with a surprise in the form of a new baby, Enya. A few of Leila’s friends came along to the new town and William fell in love with one of them, Trista. They now have a little girl together and got engaged. They are planning their wedding for spring.

Aisha's story

Aisha

I was 13 when I met Jorge Wong, I liked him immediately. Our school prom was coming up, so I asked him to go with me and he said yes. I tried to kiss Jorge for the first time, but he rejected me, I thought it was over before it began. After that incident I never expected to see him again, but on the night of Prom he turned up in his Tuxedo, I was so happy to see him. I apologised and said thank you to him for not letting me down for the prom. He told me he never breaks a promise. That night we danced and ended up being crowned King and Queen of the prom. It was the most amazing night. What I didn’t expect was Jorge asking me to go steady. I was ecstatic, I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. Jorge asked if that meant yes, I nodded still smiling. I almost swooned in his arms. We kissed and it was so amazing, it was like everything else didn’t exist. All too soon the prom ended, I still felt like I was walking on air. I was over the moon; I’d bagged the hottest guy on campus. Nothing could get me down. A couple of weeks later my mum Leila and stepdad Michael won a 2-day vacation in a hotel a few towns over. I practically shoved the adults out of the door. I turned to my half siblings, Nathaniel and Clarissa and told them I was going to have a few friends over and not to tell mum and Michael. We also had another child who lived with us, Cosmo. I told the kids to tell her the same. I phoned round a few of my friends, and of course Jorge, and invited them over. I turned on the stereo and made sure my room was nice and tidy. Jorge was first to arrive. We kissed passionately, it felt so nice. I had other sensations arising that I’d never felt before, I just wanted Jorge so much in that moment that I almost forgot about my other guests. I invited everyone in and told them to help themselves to the leftover food in the fridge. I took Jorge’s hand and led him away from the crowd. Let’s go somewhere a little more private I said as I led him into my bedroom. We kissed again and I felt tingly all over. I wanted more, I wanted to feel closer to Jorge than ever. I helped him take off his top, then I started taking off his Jeans. I slipped my hand into his underpants and enclosed my fingers round his length. He was hard and I could feel his pulse racing. He unbuttoned my jeans while I caressed him and pushed my lips hard against his searching his mouth for his tongue with mine. He slipped his hands between my thighs and started rubbing me with his fingers, it felt amazing. I gently guided him over to my bed and we lay down. We kicked off our jeans and underwear. Jorge asked me if I wanted him to stop or did I want to go further. I told him I’d go to the ends of the earth with him if he wanted me to. He reached under my top and fingered my nipples, I moaned. I needed to feel him closer to me, inside me. Jorge seemed a bit hesitant, I assured him that I wanted him so badly right at that moment. I guided him over so he was on top of me and spread my legs apart ready for him. He gently slid inside me, checking I was ok the whole time, it was a little sore but not as bad as I’d heard about. Maybe it was because Jorge was so slow and gentle in his movements. He started gently thrusting in and out, I pushed against him in rhythm with his movements. Any slight pain I had felt in the beginning disappeared and gave way to a pleasure I’d never felt before. Jorge thrusted faster and I kept up with his rhythm, getting lost in the heat of the moment. Suddenly I heard shouting, Jorge and I froze. Was that my mum? Oh hell, we could not be caught like this. Jorge and I looked at each other. Jorge pulled out as quickly and gently as he could and rushed to get dressed. I quickly pulled on my jeans. Jorge opened my bedroom door and ran out so that he wouldn’t be seen. Everyone was gone, Jorge quickly slipped out the front door. I went to see where mum and Michael were and why they were home so early. I found mum in Clarissa’s room. She didn’t look very happy, I thought I was going to get into trouble, but she didn’t mention anything about my friends being there. I breathed a gentle sigh of relief. Turned out that they had got lost and ended up turning back as it would have been too late to check into the hotel by the time they actually found the place. That was a close call, the last thing I wanted was for mum and Michael to find out that I’d just lost my virginity at such a young age.

The next day when I got home from school. I invited Jorge over. Mum and Michael were having some “grown up” time upstairs in their bedroom. When Jorge arrived, I asked him if he would like to finish what we started the night before. He didn’t need to be asked twice. We went into my room and I locked the door so that we couldn’t be disturbed. We stripped off and made sweet passionate love. We took turns being on top and when we reached climax, OMG it was amazing! I felt him explode inside me, it was like fireworks. We lay locked together for a few minutes trying to catch our breath, my legs still wrapped tightly around him. Eventually, Jorge pulled out. We kissed then lay spooning on the bed and just chatted. I couldn’t have asked for a better sexual experience. Jorge was amazing and I told him so. He said the same about me. We did agree that maybe we should limit the sexual aspect of our relationship due to the fact we were so young and technically had just broke the law by having sex. We also talked about the fact that next time it might be a good idea to use contraception as we didn’t want to end up being teen parents.

I was so happy over the next few weeks, my relationship with Jorge grew stronger every day, although we didn’t spend a lot of time together as we had school and homework to do plus Jorge did babysitting to earn a little cash, but we tried to see each other as much as we could even if it was only for a short time. As I started to get to know Jorge, he opened up to me more and more. I found out he was practically homeless and sleeping between friends’ homes until he was able to save enough to get a place of his own. He never knew his parents; they’d abandoned him when he was little, and he’d been in foster care his whole life. Due to the fact he was 16, the foster carers didn’t have an obligation to house him anymore. They would have had they had enough bedrooms, but they’d been given another child to look after on Jorge’s 16^th birthday so he’d had to leave. The supported living place that the social work wanted to put him in was full of alcoholics and drug addicts and Jorge didn’t want to end up being one of them. He was determined to make a decent life for himself. He and I talked about moving in together when I was old enough to leave home. It was something for us both to look forward to.

I’d noticed over the last week or so that my Jeans were feeling a little snug. This day I couldn’t get them to fasten. I made a mental note to eat more healthily. I had recently started learning to cook so had been making all sorts of yummy food, I had obviously been overindulging. One day I got up and had my breakfast as usual, then I started feeling queasy. I ran to the toilet and made it just in time before my stomach contents ejected from my body. My tummy felt rather odd, as if something was squirming about in there. I told mum that I wasn’t feeling well, she’d heard me throwing up. I explained how I was feeling, and she said that maybe it was one of those 24-hour bugs.

Over the next couple of days things didn’t improve. I started craving some strange foods, I figured it was because I’d been eating healthily, and my body craved food that wasn’t so healthy. Mum took me to the doctor. Due to the fact I was a minor, my mum was able to come into the appointment with me. It was embarrassing as the doctor was asking a lot of personal questions that I didn’t feel comfortable answering in front of my mum. She asked me had I started my period, I told her I had, she then asked when I last menstruated. I told her I’d only had one period about 3 months ago Then she asked the most excruciatingly embarrassing question that she could possibly have asked me in front of my mother. Was I sexually active? I looked at my mum, who’d turned rather white, then the doctor who had a knowing look in her eyes and finally stared at the floor. I was trying to swallow back tears. The doctor reminded me that it was imperative that I told the absolute truth. I just couldn’t stop the tears from flowing out of my eyes, they landed in big splashes on my folded arms. I started sobbing uncontrollably. Mum put her arm around me while she continued to talk to the doctor. I wasn’t really listening to what they were saying but I heard the odd word. Pregnant. Abortion. Adoption. All I could think was that my mum was now going to know that I’d had sex. She was going to be so angry with me. Eventually, I calmed down. I turned to my mum and told her how sorry I was. She told me gently that it was too late to be sorry. She asked me who the father was, and I told her it was Jorge. The doctor was 99.99% sure I was pregnant, but she had to give me a pregnancy test to ensure that she was correct. Of course, it turned out to be positive. I had no clue how I was going to tell Jorge or how he was going to react.

On the way home my mum and I had a long talk about what my options were. She wasn’t ecstatic about me being pregnant at such a young age, but she was willing to support me whatever I decided was the right decision for me. I told her I wanted to talk to Jorge before making a final decision, she agreed that would be a good idea as the baby was half his. My hands were shaking as I text Jorge and told him that I needed him to come over immediately as I had to talk to him urgently. He arrived at the house at the same time as mum and I. We got out the car, Jorge looked concerned and asked if I was ok, I could feel the tears welling up again. Mum asked if I wanted her to stick around, I shook my head, this was something I had to do on my own. I looked at Jorge and told him that I really loved him, but I would understand if he wanted to walk away. He took my hands in his and told me that whatever it was he would stay with me every step of the way and that was a promise. I thought to myself it may be one promise that he may want to break. I took a deep breath and told him I was pregnant. I expected him to let me go and run for the hills, instead his eyes lit up and he threw his arms around me and whispered in my ear “I’m going to be a dad.” Right at that moment I knew I had the best boyfriend in the world. We walked into the house hand in hand, smiling. Mum and Michael turned to look at us, I could see by the look in Michael’s eyes that mum had already broke the news to him. I could also see the relief in their eyes at Jorge and I walking in together looking so happy. The kids knew that something was going on and were asking if everything was ok. I suggested we all sit down as I had an announcement to make. We all sat around the kitchen table and Jorge put his arm around me, all eyes were on me. I told the kids that Jorge and I were going to have a baby and Clarissa would be an auntie and Nathaniel would be an uncle. Cosmo wanted to know what she would be, I told her she could be the baby’s auntie too if she liked, she was so happy to be part of the celebration. The kids asked lots of question and we tried to answer as best we could. Once all the excitement had died down, mum and Michael sent the kids off to play so that we could talk. Michael asked Jorge what he thought of all this, Jorge told him that he was so happy and that he was going to be the best dad in the world. Michael, with a straight face, told him that would be impossible. Poor Jorge looked crestfallen. Michael told him that the title already belonged to him. We all laughed; Jorge looked visibly relieved. The poor guy thought he was about to be banished out of his own child’s life. He asked mum and Michael if they would mind him being around most of the time, my mum told him they’d rather him be an active dad than an absent one. After that we both got a lecture on underage sex and contraception. Although mum and Michael were supporting Jorge and I with our decision to have the baby and raise it together, they were very disappointed that we had made the decision to have sex without the proper precautions. My mum told us it was a waste of time giving us a row this time as it wasn’t going to change the past or the fact that our baby was already growing in my tummy. What she did say was that if we even thought about having unprotected sex again before I was 25, she would inflict a punishment worse than death upon us both. Though that rule was only enforceable after the baby was born because now that I was already pregnant, contraception wasn’t going to be much help. Jorge and I spent so much time together in the months leading up to the birth. Our sex life was amazing, we didn’t see any point of abstaining from it any longer as the damage was already done. Jorge was such a sensual and considerate lover. We spoke at length about different contraception. In the end we opted for me to go on the pill as we both knew that in the heat of the moment, neither of us would want to stop to put on a condom. That was the reason we were in the predicament we were in, turns out Jorge had a condom in his pocket that night but neither of us thought about the consequences of unprotected sex. OOPS!!!

When the day finally arrived, I was at school. My waters broke and I went into labour, but the school wouldn’t let me leave. The teachers did help me relax and keep my mind off the contractions. The contractions were still quite spaced out. By the time the bell rang at the end of the day my contractions were getting more intense and closer together. I jumped straight in a taxi to the hospital, I got there with a few minutes to spare. The nurses rushed me through to the delivery suite and shortly after, out popped a baby girl. I relaxed and asked to hold my baby, the doctor told me there was no time the next one was coming. Wait! What? The doctor shouted at me to push, I pushed, and out popped another baby girl. Twins! Oh hell, my mother was going to kill me. The nurse joked that I had one for each arm, she asked if I wanted to call someone, but I declined. I just wanted to go home with my babies. I couldn’t believe I was 13 and a mother of twins.

When I got home and walked into the house with 2 babies, the look of shock on mum and Michael’s faces is one I’ll never forget. I text Jorge to let him know that he was now a daddy. He was working that night unfortunately, so couldn’t come over until the following day. When he seen the 2 babies, he was shocked but ecstatic. I asked him if he wanted to stay over and he accepted. He was so good with the girls; he’d get up to see to them when they cried sometimes to give me a break. He loved being a dad and it suited him. My mum took me to the doctor, and I was put on the pill. The doctor also gave me condoms just in case I was sick as people had been caught out thinking that they were protected when in in fact whatever ailed them affected the pill working correctly. The condoms were just extra protection for those times. I took them gladly as 2 kids were more than enough to cope with on top of school. I loved Jorge and my kids dearly but the last thing I wanted was another baby, I’m sure Jorge felt the same. Shortly after, Jorge moved in with us full time. He was really struggling on his own as he had no family and no one to turn to for help. He was so happy to finally have somewhere to call home where he felt like he belonged. My mum and Michael cared about him a lot and Jorge finally had the family he deserved.

Mum and Melissa

 Nathaniel and Sabrina

It was clear that we needed a bigger house, so mum and Michael hired a company to build us a big gothic house. Shortly after its completion we moved in. The girls started learning to walk and talk and be potty trained. Shortly thereafter an old friend I thought I’d never see again walked back into my life. Lucky was a doll that I was given by some long lost relative shortly after I was born. As I grew up and started school, Lucky would come to life whenever I was at home. No one believed me except Nathaniel, because he had a doll too. Cosmo was that doll. One day both dolls disappeared but after a couple of weeks or so Cosmo returned. Nathaniel very quickly learned how to make the potion that Cosmo could drink that would allow her to be visible to everyone. After that she became part of our family. Cosmo couldn’t (or wouldn’t) tell me where lucky was. All she kept saying was their creator needed their help. They were both called back, but Lucky had to stay, and Cosmo got to return home. I could never understand that. I secretly resented Cosmo because of that. As the years passed and I grew up, I gave up hope of ever seeing Lucky again. Though I knew she was still out there as she’d sent my mum money for her blog a couple of times. I tried hard to forget about Lucky, hoping that wherever she was, she was happy. It was much easier not to think about my childhood friend when I had 2 toddlers to run after. One day this child appeared out of nowhere and told me it was her birthday and she wanted to celebrate becoming a teenager with her old friend. I didn’t have a clue who she was at first. She then told me she was my childhood friend, Lucky. I’d never seen Lucky in her human form before, only her toy form. She was so pretty with red wine-coloured hair. Just then my mum appeared and asked me who I was talking to and I tried to introduce her to Lucky. Unfortunately, Lucky was still invisible to everyone except me, though I think the kids could see her because they kept looking at her and talking to her. My mum figured it was some kind of game I was playing with the kids, so she tried to play along. I had to get hold of the potion to make Lucky visible and stop people thinking I was crazy. I was delighted to have Lucky back in my life again after all these years and I never wanted to lose her again. Nathaniel kindly offered to make the potion for me. He mixed it carefully and when he had added the last ingredient, he stirred it and handed it over to me. I gave the potion to Lucky and she drank it. Nathaniel looked at Lucky, seeing her for the first time and told her how pretty she was, Lucky thanked him, smiling. I took her to meet everyone else. Cosmo seemed genuinely happy to see Lucky, maybe she was telling the truth all those years ago. Oh well, the past was in the past and Lucky was back. That was really all that mattered right now. Lucky became part of our growing family and we haven’t looked back.

Lunar Lakes

Lunar Lakes

Leila Mulder arrived in Lunar Lakes with no memory of her past or how she got to Lunar Lakes. She was a young adult and wanted to have some fun, she wasn’t ready to settle down yet. She had some cash, so built a house to live in and then she went cruising round the neighbourhood for some cute guys. She went to the Big Bang Bistro, and sure enough, she met a cute guy by the name of Benjamin Benton. She asked him if he would like to go to her house and relax with her in her hot tub. He said yes. His daughter Carly just threw Leila a dirty look.

Back at Leila’s house, Leila stripped naked and got into the hot tub, she invited Benjamin to join her. He stripped off and got in. He told Leila that he had a partner, Leila said that if that was an issue then he was free to leave at any time. He didn’t move. Leila put her arm round him and they started making out. One thing led to another and the deed was done. Leila asked Benjamin to leave and then headed out on the prowl again. The next cute guy to catch her eye was Michael Tomyoy. Again, she invited him back to her house and he followed her home. She took him into the treehouse to have her wicked way with him. He seemed so nice and sweet, she almost felt guilty about using him. ALMOST!! Once they were finished and she was asking him to leave, she found out he had commitment issues and had his eye on someone called Sofia. Leila sighed with relief. That made her feel so much better, along with the fact that he was in fact still single. She asked him to leave. She continued this cycle through another 3 guys, using a different place each time. Chris in the bed, Charlie in the wardrobe and Paulo in the shower. Soon after, she was invited to a party. There was a cute hunk playing the guitar. When she got home from the party she could not stop thinking about the cute hunk, she had to find him. She found out his name was Arthur Langerak and found out his number. She called him and invited him over. He was the first guy she didn’t ask to leave after they’d done the deed. She found out that Arthur had a partner, Gloria, but she didn’t care. If he cared that much, he wouldn’t be in Leila’s bed. She also didn’t care about contraception that night, she wanted to have this guy’s baby.

The next night her house was broken into. She called the police, but the burglar managed to get away with her laptop. She found out that night how useless the cops were in Lunar Lakes. Turns out this guy was a well-known criminal around these parts. Leila turned detective again and found out his name was Corwin Anders and managed to get his phone number. The next day she gave him a call and invited him over. She was going to teach this guy a lesson. When Corwin arrived, Leila invited him in and started chatting with him she realised that, apart from being a thief, he wasn’t such a bad guy. He was also really cute. She invited him to spend the night, he said yes. She made sure he used contraception. Neither of them got much in the way of sleep that night.

Shortly afterwards, she found out she was pregnant. She thought maybe it was time to stop sleeping around, at least until after the baby was born. Her pregnancy went well and she had the baby at home, alone. A little girl who she named Aisha. Some long lost relative, with no return address, sent baby Aisha a special toy. Leila so wished that this person had given a return address, maybe she could have asked if this relative could have helped her remember her past.

Soon Aisha became a toddler, Leila threw her a birthday party and invited everyone she knew. Arthur came but he barely looked at his daughter. Leila wasn’t going to let that spoil her daughter’s birthday. It wasn’t her fault that Gloria was angry with him, he could have refused the fun with her but he didn’t. Gloria didn’t blame Leila one bit, in fact they actually became friends. Arthur should have said no to Leila. After everyone had left she tidied up. She was a pro at throwing parties, though she didn’t know why. She just knew how to party.

A couple of days later, it was late afternoon/early evening, when she looked out of her window and spotted Michael lurking about outside her security gate. She went out to greet him and he apologised for lurking. Leila invited him into the house. She hadn’t been with a guy since before she found out she was pregnant. She asked Michael if he’d like to stay the night and he said yes. They spent the most wonderful night together. She really liked Michael, but unfortunately she had built up a bit of a reputation for herself around this town. She was just happy that Michael was happy to enjoy a bit of fun with her. He was an amazing sensual lover. She enjoyed every moment of her night with him.

A couple of nights later, she decided to take Aisha to see her father, Arthur. Arthur wasn’t really interested in seeing Aisha. He was happy to flirt with Leila however. His partner, Gloria, was disgusted and headed off to bed. Leila thought, bugger it, if Arthur wants some nookie and doesn’t care that his partner is around then she wasn’t going to deny him. She led him upstairs to the bathroom. She stripped off and stepped into the shower, Arthur followed in close succession. Gloria was right next door in the bedroom. Afterwards Leila picked up Aisha and headed home.

A night or two later Leila received a call from Michael inviting her over to hang out at his place. Leila picked up Aisha and jumped in a taxi. When she arrived Michael invited her inside, his house was pretty cool. She put Aisha down and made sure she was okay. What happened next, she would never have expected in her wildest dreams. She turned round to kiss Michael, he stopped her. Leila was a bit hurt until she heard what he had to say. He took her hands in his and asked her if she’d like to move in with him, because they got on so well together. Leila paused for a moment, completely shocked. Here was a guy who had openly admitted to her that he had commitment issues willing to commit himself to her, Leila, the cheating homewrecker of Lunar Lakes. Michael was a guy who was truly beautiful on the inside as well as the outside, how could she say no? He was even willing to take her child on and raise her as if she was his own. Leila grabbed Michael and kissed him passionately. He laughed and asked if that meant yes. It took a few hours to rearrange the house to accommodate Aisha’s belongings. Once that was done they settled Aisha down for the night, then went to bed and made love. Leila loved every sensual moment of it. Michael was definitely the guy for her.

They fell madly and deeply in love with each other, there were a lot of romantic interactions going on between them and they didn’t care who seen them. They just couldn’t keep their hands off each other. It soon became apparent that the house just wasn’t going to be big enough for the 3 of them, 4 if you included the cat that had taken up residence with them. Neither Leila nor Michael had any idea where the cat had appeared from but it was very clear that he seen this as his home now. They had both assumed the cat had belonged to the other. They called the cat Sebastian. He was very friendly. They put their money together and had a house built that was more suitable.

Once they had all got settled into their new house they threw a housewarming party. Leila also had to tell the guys that she was still stringing along, that it was over. None of them took it well. Arthur and Benjamin had a bit of a cheek considering they both cheated on their partners. Corwin decided he would pay Leila back for dumping him. Unfortunately for him he made the mistake of forgetting to check their security system. Once bitten twice shy, Leila made sure there was a burglar alarm installed in their new house. Typically though, the police allowed Corwin to get away.

Shortly after they got settled into their new place Leila started to feel sick, she pushed it to the back of her mind. Unfortunately, her body had different ideas. She made it to the toilet just in time. She had only felt this way once before. She was secretly excited but wanted to be 100% sure before breaking the news to Michael. Michael had his own suspicions but he didn’t want to push, he knew that Leila would tell him in her own time. Leila knew that Michael had his suspicions, the look on his face said it all. Neither of them could wipe the smile off their faces. They hugged, kissed and held hands. To tell the truth, they couldn’t keep their hands off each other. Michael worked hard to climb the career ladder, becoming an astronaut was his dream. It would also allow him to spend more time at home with Leila and the kids. Michael loved Aisha with all his heart but he couldn’t wait to become a father to his own flesh and blood. It would also give Aisha someone to play with other than her doll. Once the pregnancy was confirmed, Leila and Michael started coming up with names. They decided on Nathanial for a boy and Clarissa for a girl. The pregnancy went well and Leila gave birth to a healthy baby boy. The long lost relative sent another toy in the mail for Nathanial. Leila was intrigued as to how this mysterious relative knew when she had given birth. Michael was over the moon with this new addition to the family and to celebrate the occasion he decided to make it even more special. He got down on one knee and asked Leila to marry him. Leila was delighted. They decided to wait until Nathaniel was a bit older before having the wedding. 

The years passed and the kids grew up, Aisha started school and then it was Nathanial’s turn. Leila and Michael decided that now was the best time to start planning for the wedding. They chose their clothes and bought all the relevant items they would need to have the wedding. They were getting married in the garden of their own house. They made sure to plan the wedding out with school hours to allow both kids to be part of the celebration. During the after party Leila was chatting to some of the guests. Next thing, Michael walks out into the hallway to find Leila flirting with one of the guests. It really upset him, Aisha was hurt by it too. Later on Leila assured Michael that he was the only man for her and while she may flirt now and again, she would never dream of taking any further action with anyone other than Michael. She made that vow at their wedding and never intended to break it. She loved Michael too much and knew how lucky she was to have him. Michael understood, after all he was a natural flirt himself. That night, once all the guests were gone and the kids were tucked up sound asleep, Leila turned to Michael and asked him how would he like to make another child with her. Michael jumped at the chance. They desperately wanted a girl this time, which would complete their family. Their wishes were answered when little Clarissa was born. Their family was now complete.

They’d also mysteriously gained another family member, a child called Cosmo. A little girl with blue hair. Nathanial tried to explain to his parents that Cosmo was his imaginary friend, the doll who had gotten bigger as he did and who he made real with the chemistry set bought for him by his parents when he started school. Leila and Michael weren’t convinced and told Michael that they would have to find Cosmo’s parents and send her home. Nathanial asked Cosmo to prove to his parents that he wasn’t making any of this up. Cosmo obliged and turned into her doll form. Leila and Michael stared open mouthed unable to believe their eyes as Cosmo turned back into child form and smiled at them. To say they were shocked would be an understatement. Aisha would often talk about her imaginary friend but when questioned about it she would say that Lucky ran away. Leila and Michael honestly didn’t know what to think anymore. Clarissa never got a doll, Leila wondered if maybe the relative had passed away before Clarissa was born, she would never know.

Leila and Michael were very much in love and would try to make as much effort as they could to spend as much time as possible together. It wasn’t easy with four kids but they managed it. They kept their romance alive as much as they could. They were smitten with each other. They decide to have another house built with a large master bedroom with its own balcony that would allow them some privacy away from the kids.

Over time the children became very close. They all went to the same school, though Cosmo skipped school as much as she attended. Leila and Michael took full advantage of the children’s absence from the house during the day. It also meant that they didn’t have to hide away in their bedroom whenever they wanted to make love. They could do it wherever they wanted, as long as they finished before the kids arrived home from school. They had a close call on more than one occasion, especially when Cosmo had decided to skip school for the day and return home.

The years passed by and the kids all started to grow up. Aisha became a teenager, Leila and Michael threw her a party to celebrate. Arthur came, but as usual, he wasn’t interested in forming a relationship with his daughter. Aisha had tried over the years to forge a relationship with her father but to no avail. She eventually stopped trying and if he turned up at any of the parties her mum and Michael threw, she would just pretend like he wasn’t there. She had a father figure, who loved her very much. He might have been her step father but he’d been more of a father to Aisha than Arthur could ever hope to be.

One day, Leila seen a leaflet advertising a competition that promised the winners 2 nights all-inclusive vacation time to a top class resort a few towns over. She took the leaflet home and showed Michael, they were both a little sceptical but as it was free to enter they thought they’d try anyway. A few days later they receive a message that they’d won the sweepstakes two day vacation. Aisha practically shoved them out the door. She didn’t mind taking care of her younger siblings in the slightest as long as they kept their mouth shut about the party she was planning. Aisha had been talking to a cute guy from school and this was a perfect time to make a move on him. The first time she tried to kiss him he’d knocked her back but then had asked her to go steady at prom. This party was the ideal time to take their relationship to the next level. Once her mum and Michael had left, Aisha got on the phone and invited all her classmates over for the party. Including Jorge. She quivered at the thought of being the first girl in her class to lose her virginity and she could barely hold her excitement in. She ordered pizza and turned on the stereo. Everything was ready. Her bedroom was tidy and her bed was made, she just needed to wait until Jorge arrived. The guests all arrived and everyone had some pizza. Aisha asked Jorge to dance, she was so nervous. After the song had finished, Aisha took Jorge by the hand and led him through to her bedroom and locked the door. She put her arms round him and started kissing him, this time he kissed back. He could feel how tense she was and asked her was she sure that she really wanted to go through with this. She admired him for being so sweet and knew right then that she was making the right decision. She took off her bottom half and lay down on the bed, Jorge stripped naked and straddled her on the bed. She liked what she saw. He asked her again if she was sure, she nodded. Jorge was so gentle and made sure that Aisha was ok and comfortable with every move he made. It was such an amazing experience for both of them. Afterwards Jorge asked if she wanted to go back to her guests and party, she told him that she’d rather be with him in bed. Aisha got on top of Jorge and was getting so carried away in the moment that the voices outside didn’t quite register in her mind. Jorge froze, Aisha looked down at him and at that point she realised that she could hear her mum and Michael’s voices. The 2 teens hurriedly got dressed and Jorge ran out the door. She was pretty sure she was going to get a massive row from her mum. Leila was a bit annoyed that Aisha had had a party while they had been away but assumed it was innocent enough. Aisha said that she hoped her mum and Michael didn’t mind that she’d invited some classmates over to hang out. Leila and Michael said of course they didn’t mind as everyone was respectful and there was no damage done to any of their possessions and everyone behaved themselves. Aisha flashed an innocent smile. The following night after school, Aisha invited Jorge over “to study”. Leila and Michael were busy so Aisha took that opportunity to lead Jorge straight into her bedroom. Aisha asked Jorge if he’d like to finish what they started last night, Jorge didn’t need to be asked twice.
