John Mayer – Daughters
Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too...

Isaac outside school with the other kids on his first day of school.

Natalie was furious that morning after Isaacs birthday. She was really angry at Bård for what she saw as a romantic deceit. He was still with Josefine, his original partner, after all. She didn't let that get in the way of taking good care of Aaron, though. She also wished to buy plenty of new toys for Isaac (or herself..?), but the household was short on cash, so that would have to wait.

Isaac didn't get much sleep the night before he went to school, and was already dead tired when he came home, so he immediately asked her to read him a bedtime story. Natalie wanted to be a good mother, because most of all, she didn't want that creepy teddy bear to return, so she obliged. Isaac wanted to sleep in his mom's bed. It was more quiet down there after all, since he had to share a bedroom with Aaron who would cry out loud whenever he needed something. (And who knows, in case there were monsters under the bed having mom nearby felt a lot safer.)

Isaac in the schoolbus on the way to an excursion at the mausoleum. It looks like Isaacs teacher at school is Octavian Tarnicieru, one of the few vampires in town.

Since Natalie didn't start her new job until later in the afternoon she wanted to spend the time teaching Aaron some basic walking skills. Not sure if it was done out of care for her son, or out of fear of being followed around by that teddy bear and haunted by the ghost. Good for Aaron, in any case.

Natalie in the cab on her way to the first shift at her new job, helping out at the kitchen at The Zombie Restaurant. She didn't know what to expect from working at a kitchen, as she has only been making food at home up until now.

Looks like you have quite a few new colleagues there, Natalie. All eager to start at their shift. Natalie is the one with the dagger/betrayal thought.

Isaac was a good boy, taking some of the load off of Natalie by doing dishes and keeping the house clean, giving Natalie more time to take care of Aaron.
https://i.imgur.com/WtsfGMi.jpg
As Natalie worked afternoons and evenings at the restaurant, this often meant that Aaron, Isaac and Billy was left home with a babysitter. Usually a young human girl called Petra Hågensen. She was nice to Aaron, but not always that nice towards Isaac. She was a bit unpredictable. Some days it was all sunshine, other days she would be in a bad mood and start fights about the silliest of things.

Saturday night after work Natalie had gotten an invitation to a party over at Ramona Velle-Bentsen's place. Ramona is one of Natalies new colleagues at work. She lives in the poor part of town, and it wasn't really that much of a party going on. Ramona and her husband, which had already gone to bed, were the only ones there. Ramona did her best, though, preparing burgers in her little kitchen shed. Well, before she just went to bed as well, leaving Natalie alone napping on the couch.

Ramona's home is just a grimy looking collection of old wooden sheds, as are most homes in the poorer areas. Here is Natalie helping herself to one of the burgers Ramona made earlier. Solo party with burgers, yay.

With three days left of the dry season, it was time for leisure day, and Natalie decided to sleep in before getting up. Meanwhile, Aaron was upstairs screaming from hunger. Was she starting to slip back to old ways again?
https://i.imgur.com/OEahoXE.jpg
She was in a good mood for leisure day this morning, so she decided to bring the kids out to spend it at the local market place. She is carrying Aaron and Billy because she never had a wish to get a stroller, and hence haven't bought one.
Some pictures from their leisure day at the market place.

She didn't pick up Aaron and Billy to go home until it was around 3 in the night. (She fed them after they got home.)

Isaac would sometimes stay at school after hours, rather than going home. He enjoyed his time in peace and quiet while playing with the toys there.
https://i.imgur.com/F9mF7Fe.jpg
Natalie didn't have enough money yet to buy a proper laundry machine so she had to use the cheapest laundry machine at the laundromat. And there was one thing the old cat hadn't killed in her yet; her curiosity and interest in trying and learning different things, which reflected itself in her life time wish of reaching level 5 in 5 different careers.
