Rebecca Keller (New Arrival on the Way) When Rebecca figured out she was pregnant, a sudden rush of misery washed over her. It wasn't the thought having a child that bothered her, but the fact she w...
A few things changed since we last touched base with Rebecca and her clan of misfits.
Trouble has been on the horizon with Rebecca's family in Hidden Springs and Bridgeport. Rebecca's father still hasn't come to visit or spoken to her since she dropped the bomb on her parents about being pregnant and deciding to have the baby. They are both equally stubborn and Rebecca won't give in and visit Bridgeport either. Her sister Marcy has been keeping their mother informed about how things are going, but a few more waves have recently crashed ashore.
Cal and Marcy moved out of their house leaving it for Ella and her husband Chris. Both couples had sons and things went okay for a while, with Marcy, Cal, Ella and Chris visiting Bridgeport on occasion to see the Keller parents/grandparents and simply catch up with friends in town. However, as things got worse between Rebecca and her father, he got closer to Cal. Eventually he decided to retire and move to the islands with his wife, offering Cal his import business in Bridgeport.
Chris liked the mountain air a little too much, got caught messing around on Ella, with Kathy Ragsdale, and the two of them split up. Not wanting to be away from her brother Cal, and not wanting to stay anywhere near Chris, she moved to Bridgeport with their baby, and into the Keller family house with Cal, Marcy and their son.

In other news Heather and Hurbert Ridley did actually get married again and against all odds are having a baby together. Best of luck to them this time around.
Meanwhile ... Things are still going fine with Rebecca, Kris and Hanna. Rebecca is really thankful and excited when thinking about the mess the rest of the family is going through. She doesn't want to keep her father at a distance forever, but he is just being a rear end about everything, and she decided not to give in this time. It had always come down to her admitting her mistakes and handling up on whatever her father may require. This time, she has no doubt she didn't make a mistake in keeping Hanna, and he can live with it or not as far as she is concerned.
As Fall settles in for the long run so does the family. Kris works on his novels and learning how to make nectar. Reb4ecca has grown fonder of painting as her skills improved, and they pretty much split the duties around the house and with Hanna equally.
The family gets out regularly and enjoys all the town has to offer. They all like meeting new people and finding new things to try out. The weather has been rather mild so far this season and there has been plenty of time to visit the festival grounds, as well as parks around town and even the grocery store from time to time.
Rebecca and kris have been chatting about where they visit first when Hanna is old enough to get past the travel restrictions and Rebecca has settled on China. In preparation, she and Kris spend at least a day each week at the local Dojo training in sim-fu.
They run into plenty of folks there as well. Things are looking up for the couple, and they just cruise along enjoying life. Carly is still single and not dating anyone anymore, and sometimes they will invite her over for dinner. They rarely go to parties anymore as they have settled into their routines. Kris and Rebecca both want to get back to traveling and it won't be too much longer until that becomes available again, if they don't mess around and end up with another child back-to-back.
