Part One – Honey moon, Egypt & the horses.
Steve knew Maxx had huge decisions to make. So as a treat they set off to Egypt for their honeymoon, Maxx never had a holiday and he knew it would help her clear her head, and his too.
They didn’t waste time in Egypt, even tho they had challenges to do, both decided to rock some tents before they would go sight see.
Romance was truly in the air for these two. The Sphinx really brought the love out of them.
Maxx loving photography always making sure she gets selfies she wanted one with her sweetheart for their bedroom wall.
For such a beautiful night they decided to watch the stars before they would enter the tomb.
Together they worked so well as a team and managed to work out the riddles the tomb had.
Slowly they were getting through the tomb and collecting variety of gems and collectables. It was a long night but they got through the tomb and set back for their camp.
Like any honeymoon they were at it again, romance was truly in the air.
They had other quests to get through so continued on with that until it was time to go home soon.
Maxx found a Falcon which she was allowed to bring home. She thought he would be a nice addition to their menagerie of animals.
Meanwhile Steve tried snake charming… although that didn’t go very well just yet.
Once they got home Maxx put falcon on his new tree and spent some time teaching him and playing with him. Allowing herself time to think about things at home.
Maxx decided to spend more time with Lucifer, playing and walking him and on occasions be stopped for an autograph. She had so much on her mind the horses had passed away while they were in Egypt. And coming back home she had so much to work out to get herself back on track for the 50 foal challenge contest, and life in general.
Time went on and the day finally came for Maxx to have her baby now. She was off to hospital and was in for a huge surprise. {so was I to be honest}
Maxx had triplets. Nikki, Ethan and Brooke. She had a limousine pick her up to take her home as she had a big baggage to bring home.
******************************************************************************
While Maxx had been in hospital giving birth to triplets. Steve took upon making big changes for them, he knew it was time to move on, he knew with such a big family at once this place was not fit to keep them here. And with the horses all now gone it was easier for Maxx to come home to a new home.
Steve had already set out and got them a new place. Thanks to Glenkarri for the fantastic build, in fact the perfect build for this family, he purchased Arrowhead Stables a beautiful 4 bedroom cottage fit with 6 stables so there was plenty room for horses. Maxx had a nice new home to come home too. Steve naturally packed up all the memorabilia and trophies, but with so much bad luck happening at the old ranch he wanted a new life for his growing family. As they had a fair amount of money now, he also purchased land and had a private training ground to build on it, for their future horses to train on.
Lucifer takes time to inspect the property in all corners but he loves the ducky filled water jump. Those ducks looks so inviting for toys.
The triplets are enjoying their first birthdays at the new house. With the family growing up slowly it’s time to think about getting some horses again.
Maxx takes to teaching Brooke how to walk.
Steve begins to teach Nikki how to walk and meanwhile Lucifer enjoys watching them, waiting for his turn for some attention.
Lucifer takes to Ethan and begins to play with him.
While Steve takes time to play with Ethan and teach him to walk and talk.
Maxx takes time to bath her bff Lucifer. And spending some time with him.
Maxx and Lucifer spend some time outside, for some loving and attention.
Steve had a surprise for Maxx but waited until all the kids were in bed. He had seen a beautiful baby available from ElijahsBabyGurl9 who had a beautiful foal from Spirit and Rain. Maxx walked outside to find the cutest littlest foal in her front yard. She named her Saffron.
Maxx being Maxx and a huge softie and lover of animals, felt so bad that this little baby was away from it’s mother.
It wasn’t long before Maxx and Saffron became best friends. Maxx spent time teaching Saffron and grooming her. She was melting that this cutie was all hers and going to grow into a stunning horse.
When Maxx finished duties with the triplets, she spent all her time playing and caring for Saffron. She wanted Saffron to feel the love and settle in at home.
Saffron Chose Maxx as her Bff in a quick short time, Saffron brought so much love and joy back into Maxx’s life. Life was starting to look wonderful again at the Mystique’s New Ranch.
Even the wildlife came to bring some luck and enjoy on the positive happy mood the home is now having.
Meanwhile Steve went and picked up a beautiful Mare called Chivas Regal that was for sale and brought her home so that Saffron wouldn’t be alone, now that they had two mares again slowly they could get back into breeding foals for the 50 foal challenge.
The girls spent a long time talking and playing. Chivas Regal is a brave mare she keeps looking out for Saffron and making sure she is safe. Saffron loves Chivas, they became best friends in no time.
While Chivas and Saffron continue their friendship and time together, Steve took to time to look to buy a nice stallion for the girls and especially once Saffron grows up.
