Four Generations of the Banks Dynasty

This is the little side project that I've been working on. I took new family pictures for each generation (which was challenging because I had to find my old saves and track down the old CC I used). These pics are now on my Banks Dynasty family pages here on Tumblr and my website. If anyone wants to read or play catch-up with the Banks Dynasty, I included links to the chapters/summaries for each generation below.

I once said that mama was a wanderer...and she was, but life eventually led her right back to me and her family. She wasn’t there for the middle part of my life, but she was here in the end...that’s what matters.

I realize that we can set as many goals and aspirations for ourselves as our hearts can hold...but the real goal will always be happiness and I’ve found that. I’ve found it...and I’m satisfied.

Coa uses the bathroom, then decides to check and see if Byron has made it home yet.

In Byron’s bedroom…

Byron: It’s just a closet.

Prosperity: A closet is never just a closet.

Peri opens Byron’s closet, steps inside, then beckons him to follow her.

Lea Tate (prologue - Day 69) led a tough life, which eventually landed her in prison to serve 20 years. This was time spent away from her daughter Alida. Upon release...the road to leading a fulfilled life and developing a relationship with her daughter was equally challenging, but she managed. Lea had a smile on her face when she took her last breath. May she rest in peace!

Byron turns and walks back down the stairs.

Byron: No...I can’t do this.

Byron looks through the downstairs window and sees Peri’s father in there.

Byron: Isn’t that your dad right there? He’s big and will definitely kick my ass.

Peri walks down and meets him at the bottom of the stairs.

Prosperity: He’ll kick your ass if we sneak around, and he catches us together.

Byron: What if he doesn’t catch us, though?

Prosperity: You live right down the street. He’s guaranteed to catch us. I promise that he’s a nice guy. I mean, look at him.. he’s in there playing with a baby. He definitely won’t kick your ass in front of a baby!

The nearest cemetery is in Willow Creek, which is quite a distance away. We meet other members of our family; Q’s parents, Michelle and Veronica there at noon.

Q and Byron leave Merit’s bedroom after about 20 minutes. Q leads him upstairs to the kitchen, where Peri is waiting.

Quincy: I’ve approved this date, but I’ve laid out the rules. *To Byron* You remember rule number one...right?

Byron: *uncomfortable* Yes, sir.

Quincy: Good!  *to Peri* I’ll finish up with Merit. You two can go now.

Peri and Byron hurry back down the stairs.

Merit ages up, and we cut his birthday cake and begin to serve it.  Michelle’s daughter Roni smiles when she gets her slice. Merit appears to be feeling some mixed emotions. Maybe his piece isn’t as big as he wanted.
