100 Years - 2044

Intermission

 15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live

- Five for Fighting

 

Liam Coners was very excited about starting school. Turning four meant that he could go out and play with other kids and learn some things. It also meant that he could get away from his little sister! He didn't understand why his mom seemed so sad about him going to school at all.......

Say farewell to the dark of night, I see the coming of the sun

I feel like a little child, whose life has just begun

You came and breathed new life into this lonely heart of mine

You threw out the lifeline, just in the nick of time

"I think you should do the honors," Gordon said nervously.

"No, no honey, this was your idea. You tell them," Taesha said.

"Somebody better tell me something NOW," DeJuan said.

"Well.......we got married today," Taesha said quietly.

Gordon was still in awe of the relationship between DeJuan and Donna. He would never have put the two of them together, but somehow they worked. He really thought Charday's reappearance would cause problems for them, but it didn't. It seemed that they were just truly happy together. He wondered if he and Taesha would still be that in love when they were older........one could only hope........

DeJuan had always been a sucker for a pretty face, and Lyria's was one of the prettiest he had ever seen. He was a grandfather! Sure, he had been spending time with Ricki and Ryan, but they weren't his blood relatives. He couldn't believe he was a grandpa.........and he was loving every minute of it!

Happy Birthday to Ya!

* Not an average birthday post FYI

Lyria Nott is now 1 year old and is being spoiled rotten by her grandparents now that she lives with them!

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go

So make the best of this test and don't ask why

It's not a question but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right

I hope you had the time of your life

Taesha found it hard to believe that her college career was coming to an end. It didn't seem like four years had really passed. And she found it even harder to believe her baby girl would be 1 in only a few months! Where did the time go?

When you see my face hope it gives you hell

Hope it gives you hell

When you walk my way hope it gives you hell

Hope it gives you hell

When you find a man that's worth a damn

And treats you well

Then he's a fool, you're just as well

Hope it gives you hell

Hope it gives you hell

"DeJuan Foster. Still got the cutest butt I've ever seen."
DeJuan knew that he must have been dreaming. He had not heard that shrill little voice in almost a decade. There was no way that Charday Martin had tracked him down............

And you'll be there, Cuz that's what friends are suppose to do

Oh yeah

Gordon still couldn't believe that he and Taesha had a baby.......a baby! Lyria was the most important thing in the world to him. Gordon Nott, orphan extraordinaire, was a father.......who would have guessed.......

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 6 - Summer 2037

Kimber Henderson had forgotten how awful pregnancy could be. It's was a beautiful, ugly experience! But everytime she walks into Caleb's room, she doesn't mind it so much.......Now maybe she won't go crazy with the empty nest syndrome!

Taesha had entered her second trimester and she was getting a little nervous. It had been a tough pregnancy for her and she had missed quite a few days of class. She would be lucky if she didn't have to repeat the semester the way things were going for her.......

What's going on Taesha?" Kinsley asked.

"Why does something have to be going on? Can't I just miss my step-sister? Can't I just want to see you, you know, to catch up on stuff?" Taesha said.

"Yea, you could, but that's not why I'm here."

"What do you mean?"

"Because you look like a deer caught in headlights. Come on, Tae, what's wrong?" Kinsley asked.

"Well......."

Taesha had a special night planned for Gordon. They had both been spending so much time studying that there was just no way they could have fun too. But Taesha thought it was high time they got out of this rut and into some fun..........

"Dude, why are you still wearing that? Aren't you hot?" Brian asked.

"We're about to graduate, do you realize that? I may not take this thing off until after graduation!"

"You look like the Grim Reaper! Go take that off! Not cool, man. Not cool."

Just as long as your love don't change

Donna was suffering from empty nest syndrome. It was bad enough when Brian went off to college, but now that Taesha was gone too, Donna found herself missing having them around. Brian had already decided that he and his bandmates were going to rent an apartment together after graduation and Taesha still had two more years to go. She didn't know what she was suppose to do with herself now......

I just want to hold her hand, be her man

I want to know if she'd take a chance

Cause I still have not revealed it

Cause I still get the feeling

That loving her is a game I'll always lose

I've got the brown eyed blues...

Adrian Hood

Brian never knew he could feel this way about someone. Mindi was the coolest chick he had ever met and he was so glad that he was with her. Sure, at one point all he wanted was to get laid, but things had changed and he truly cared about her now......he did enjoy woohooing with her though.......

* It's a wee bit long this time :)

 Taesha Foster spent her first few hours as a freshman at LBU listening to her step-brother talk to her about the do's and don'ts of campus. Even Kenny is like, "What are you talking about man?"

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 5 - Fall 2034

 Taesha Foster is 18 and is a freshman at LaQuest Beach University. She has decided to major in mathematics and wants to maybe design video games one day. Or maybe teach, she hasn't decided yet.

 Little Ricki Knowles is 1 this fall and looks like she might take after Kevin more than Kinsley. It's hard to tell at this point....

 And Alex Gray is looking quite a bit like his dad Corbin. He is also 1 this fall. Hopefully he and big brother Conner will get along well :)

* I think Ricki is going to look like Kevin and Ryan looks like Kinsley. I hate those dark rings around her eyes, but that happens sometimes.

* I think Alex is going to look alot like Corbin. I don't really see much of Amanda in him. Maybe she will show more in him when he gets older. I wish I had pics of them when they were kids......I may do that in body shop just for comparison purposes.....

Donna Foster is 48, DeJuan is 45, Taesha is 16 (Brian Johnson is 18)

 DeJuan Foster could not believe his luck. His life had taken a complete turn since he met Donna. He was positive that he would be single for the rest of his life after Taesha's mom left. He grew up in Englewood and in Englewood a man couldn't be soft. He had lost the respect of most of his friends when he fell in love with Taesha's mom. She was known to get around and his friends just couldn't believe that he wanted to make her his girl. But he loved her. And the happiest day of his life was when she told him she was pregnant with Taesha. But being a mom cramped her style and she left them shortly thereafter. He was determined to be a good dad to Taesha and not worry about women anymore. But then Donna came along and just changed everything. He truly loved her.

Donna Foster is 47, DeJuan is 44, Taesha is 15, and Brian Johnson is 17

She felt it some days. Felt like she was almost 50 years old. 50! Where had the time gone? It seemed like only yesterday that Kinsley was dancing on her father's toes. Now she was a grown married woman with a life of her own and Donna had remarried. She didn't know if she would find love again after Kinsley and Brian's father died. But DeJuan came along and changed all of that for her.
