Escapade

Sophia was getting used to motherhood. Sure, she could do without having to carry around watermelons while attempting to pick up men but just look at how happy her children are! Despite being exhausted half the time, Sophia makes sure to keep close to her children. She found it rewarding to sit down and help her young ones with their school work. No doubt, she was the proudest parent in the world when Gabriel came in with his report card. All those long hours really paid off.

Of course, when she entered her final trimester, Sophia had to keep off her feet. Her days were spent sleeping, eating, sleeping, eating and occasionally watching Oprah. For some strange reason, this pregnancy left her more tired and weak than the others. It wasn't until she actually went into labor that the doctors discovered something surprising. Sophia was giving birth to twins! It was a joyful surprise. Both were girls but didn't look too much alike. Still, they were beautiful and Sophia loved them both. Eva and Vivian were welcomed members of the Hess family.

Having Roselle around was a blessing. The girl was a natural when it came to child care and having two more babies to take care of, Sophia appreciated the help. Even though the girl got a job at the aquarium, she always made time to play with her siblings. Henri simply loved it when his sister taught him how to use the ballet bar.

Daniel also took well to his younger siblings. He helped out with feeding time and changing diapers. He also helped Gabriel with his homework and even invited him to play video games with him. Of course, big brother refuses to lose to anyone, including his own flesh and blood.

Leaving Jenna in charge of the house, Sophia decided to treat her two eldest children to a night out. It was a special occasion, as both recieved many scholarships. Knowing they would soon be off to college, Sophia wanted to spend some more time with them. They first arrived at the Culinary Club, where Daniel won first prize for a delicious pork chop meal.

After that, they headed to the Downtown area, to party it up at Crypt O' Nite. Daniel immediantly gravitated towards the DJ booth, the heavy techno rock resonating with him. The DJ was very impressed by Daniel's wide range of musical knowledge, he even allowed the boy to take over for him while he got a bite to eat. Daniel quickly took to it, even earning himself a nice little tip.

With that tip, he was able to treat his sweetheart to a nice little dinner. Despite looking like a tough guy, Daniel became puddy when he was around his lady fair. Sophia couldn't wait to tease him about it once they got home. Her little boy, locked in love's grip!

Roselle also became a victim of love. She went on her first date with childhood sweetheart, Amin. The two were a more quiet couple than her brother and his girl. They cuddled and held hands, while Daniel perferred kissing and dancing. Roselle and Amin spent much of their time together discussing college plans. It was decided that the two would move in together once they moved on campus. Sophia knew she could trust them. They were smart kids.

After all, it wasn't as though Sophia could really preach. Her children were now aware of her extracurricular activities. After some explaining, they both understood and agreed to keep it a secret from Jenna. Sophia couldn't help who she was. She loved Jenna, really but monogamy wasn't her game.

Her interests just grew away from the woman. Now, she was interested in a particular fellow. He was a dark fellow, only appearing at night. He claimed to be a Count, though Sophia was skeptical. Whatever, as long as he had money, he'd be fine. But first, she had to end her ties with Jenna...

As much as it hurt to let her see, Sophia had to keep her reputation. The woman shouldn't have been so surprised, though. She was in this situation once before...
