Dante and Heather were doing well at their jobs. Although Heather was on maternity leave it was paid time off. They had been able to get some things that made their house more homey and they even adopted a kitten from the shelter.

Heather named him Eerie.

Then one morning not too long after Darlene was born Heather woke up feeling sick.

When she got sick again later in the day she started to get suspicious.

Sure enough a pregnancy test revealed that she was pregnant again. She had mixed feelings. She wanted more children, but not quite this soon. She wasn't sure what Dante's reaction was going to be.

The mixed emotions led her to throw up again.

That same night it was time for Darlene to age up to toddler.

Dante was proud of his little girl.

She clearly inherited her daddy's black hair, but she has mommy's blue eyes.

The next morning Heather knew she would have to tell Dante about the new baby.

"Dante, you won't believe it but ..."

"we're going to have another baby!"

Dante took the news surprisingly well. He had taken to fatherhood very well and he liked the idea of having another baby. "That's great Heather!"

"What do you think this baby will be like? I can't wait."

Meanwhile an obscure relative neither of them had heard of sent a present in the mail to Darlene. She loved playing with him. She named him David.

Eerie liked watching Darlene play with her doll, almost like he knew there was something unusual about the doll.

Darlene liked having him everywhere with her.

Darlene was very cute but Dante worried that her short hair made her look like a boy. He hoped it would grow in quickly.
