That evening the family gathered to celebrate the twins' birthday.

Isabella was up first. Almost everyone was there. They were expecting Cedric to join them at any moment.

Cedric headed to the dining room where he could hear the family already celebrating the birthday. But he had a strange sense of foreboding.

To his surprise he was overcome by a very strange feeling. Genevieve, Caleb's Imaginary Friend, had sensed that something was happening and she ran to the hallway.

As she came into sight of Cedric Genevieve saw him become a ghost.

Meanwhile in the dining room Caleb couldn't wait for his sister to blow out the candles to grow up.

Isabella was not pleased to see her brother stealing the attention.

Caleb aged up to a handsome teen.

While Isabella was distracted by her brother stealing the limelight Naomi realized that something was happening with her father and ran to the hallway.

Isaiah had run through the other door and was already choking back a sob as Naomi turned the corner and was stunned to see her father had become a ghost.

Isabella was left alone with Sebastian and her baby sister Krista sleeping in the swing.

Despite her family suddenly disappearing she went ahead and aged up into a pretty teen.

Everyone else was now crying in the hallway as the Grim Reaper appeared in the bathroom.

While everyone was crying Cedric's ghost moved past them to face the Grim Reaper in the entryway.

Although he knew his family was grieving Cedric felt he had lived a full life. He was also looking forward to being with Grace again. So he greeted the Grim Reaper like a friend. And before they knew it Cedric was gone.

The excitement of the birthdays was quite effectively ruined. Isaiah took Naomi upstairs to lie down since she was grief stricken. Despite his sadness over his grandfathers death Sebastian celebrated with Genevieve as she aged up.

Isabella's Imaginary Friend, Sebastian, had aged up as well. He held Isabella as she cried over the loss of her grandfather.

After she had finished crying she smiled at Sebastian and thanked him for being such a supportive friend.https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-llowaQV2oWw/U1Ntbhki3kI/AAAAAAAAO6I/3TWCdFMfl8s/w547-h627-no/Screen%2BShot%2B2014-04-06%2Bat%2B2.34.11%2BAM.png
That night after Isabella and Caleb had crawled in bed Sebastian and Genevieve sat together watching over them.

The next morning when she went to the mailbox Naomi found a package for her newborn daughter, Krista.

After seeing the package Naomi broke down in tears as it made her think about her father.

Krista is the third potential heir.
