It's childhood semi-montage time! Jade's watcher has been deep in the trenches of infant hell but there are some cute pictures to share. When last we left the disaster family, it was just Jade, Skip and little Indigo.
Though since Skip and Jade can't keep their hands off each other, regardless of who may be watching, that was about to change.
The farm went completely to shit at this point, the third cow died and the Watcher decided we were going to pause livestock after the chickens all died out because Grim was a constant visitor.
To the point that Jade got jealous over him and Skip developed an obnoxious fear of death to replace his angst over his bastard status, which resolved when I gave him a mom.
There was also a brief visit from a would be thief to steal... honestly, it would probably have been the fridge. Most of the Pease estate is not very valuable.
Fortunately, that whacking at the sword training dummy came in pretty handy actually. Honestly, Skip really started to show himself as the MVP here while Jade was pregnant with the second member of Gen 2 as she mostly slept, ate, and occasionally tried to keep the plants and remaining chickens alive.
You never know who will show up at basement-court. Looks like Dustin's life is still a dumpster-fire though. You love to see it.
Time for a trash-nap!
Brandi showed up to briefly allow Dustin to see the daughter he abandoned and then promptly went into labor herself with the twins she'd conceived with Crispin Black.
Which was apparently contagious because Jade also went into labor despite it being Indigo's birthday.
Rude, Jade. This totally isn't going to give Indigo a complex later on in life.
So the party I planned for first birthday will have to wait. But Indigo still got a cake and hit her terrible twos, gaining the aggressive trait! Fun!
She's a cutie! Even if she did promptly bite the first stranger to walk into the house; the mid wife who showed up to deliver the new baby.
After Indigo's harrowing birth, Jade was determined to have the home water-birth that she was promised.
Surrounded by nature and the smell of chicken shit and dying plants, the Pease family welcomed a baby boy to be the official Gen 2 Spare.
A boy they promptly punished by leaning hard into the color naming conventions of the legacy and named him Azure.
Azure Pease. It sounds like a WTD
At least he's a cutie!
And he even survived meeting his older sister for the first time, without any teeth-marks to show for it.
So an eventful day; a birthday, a birth, some off screen births of cousins. But at least everyone was settling in for a quiet evening.
