TW/CW: Infant Death, Child Death
The new decade began with sadness as only a few days after the announcement of Adam and Karina’s twins, Gerard and Marielle, came the news that illness had taken Gerard and their oldest Joan.
Eden celebrated her first birthday to the delight of her parents. She was a sweet child who loved to laugh. Her parents did feel a bit bad that she wouldn’t be the baby of the family for long though since they were expecting once again.
Alice and Janet got along well as siblings though Alice worried that she would be unwelcome after she became an adult since she wasn’t actually a Carlisle. Janet assured her that that wasn’t the case but Alice still felt a bit out of place.
Though right before Alice’s eighteenth birthday, Larissa came home to stay with her last remaining sibling. She was happy to finally get to meet her relatives that she had only ever heard of through Talia’s Tome and was more than willing to start back with her lessons to her family now that she was home.
Alice turned eighteen with little fuss. She was glad to be an adult but with the milestone she felt a sense of longing for the family that hadn’t lived to see her grow.
