This morning I drop in to spy on how Quigley and Fern are doing in their job hunting! Finn and Ziggy head off to school. I can see that no one inside has 'come alive' yet.

''Psst! Fern! Watcher is watching! Come on sweetie, let's go to work!" says Quigley, quickly changing into his paramedic uniform. Fernie does too.

"Heya Watcher! Don't worry, we knew what we wanted, and just went for it!" Quigley waves.
""Yeah! Hiya Watcher, we got jobs all by ourselves at the Hospital!" says Fern.
? That's good, you cuties! Watcher gives them their missing diplomas with Debug. It must have been a glitch caused by my town reset, for them to not get called to graduate.

"Come on Leif, get in!" says Shanti.
"Are you sure Dallas will let you use the spare fire engine, honey?"
"Oh yes, it seems to be just fine with him. Let's go to the library to read our baby books!"
I don't know why Shanti gets to drive the fire Engine at level one, when the game made Victor wait until he was at the Top of the career!

They are having a nice date at the library, and see the rockers. This makes Shanti want a rocker for herself. (*ping* done!) Soon they start reading their baby books. They want to be good parents.

At home, Diana and Rico have the day off, and relax with baby Kaiya in the back yard.

Alfie senses all is right in the library.
"Hmm." he smiles, ''At Last! Leif has married Shanti, and they are with child. Good! It's as it should be, now!" he thinks. The last 100 days was a long wait for him, and Max, to watch the Cherish part of Leif's timeline come to it's happy end! There were so many times young Alfred wanted to interfere. Alfie had to be the strong one, and mentor his dear apprentice on 'patience'.

Allfie laughs, now, sensing his darling little one, Airk.

And then walks over to comfort the little tyke, who had fallen on his little behind.

"Oh my goodness! That is Loud crying!" says Shanti.
"Well sweetie, babies do cry sometimes." says Leif. But Shanti doubts that their wonderful baby will cry as Loudly as Airk!
"Not our precious baby, no way!"?

Leif wants to see if he can feel their baby kick.
"Do you think it's a girl baby or boy baby, Shanti?"
"I think it's a baby boy!" Leif takes a listen to see if he can tell.

"I think he said his name is Erik! That's my middle name!" says Leif. Shanti laughs, she is guessing that Leif might like to name their first born after his father. She likes the name Erik, it means Ever Kingly. Shanti has her own ideas for his middle name, since her name means Peace, their baby, Erik 'Anand' will bring Bliss. I don't think Shanti minds mixing Viking names with Hindi names.?
"Hi baby Erik, it's your Pappa!'' coos Leif. Shanti thinks Leif is being so funny and cute, talking to their baby.

The lovebugs end up at the park, and Alfie has followed for his own reasons, he wants to sense more about their baby.
He discerns it will be a kind baby, and will have the good trait like his parents. The more good people here in the town, influences the others, exponentially. If and when this 'good, or do no harm' feeling gets high enough, then the evil and mean ones will naturally either change or start to feel uneasy being here, and will wish to move away. It's kind of Lemurian, how the Town Counsil has decided to guide the town, by example.
And speaking of Good, Kind people, Alfie has his eye on his Very Favorite of all! ? He must have known Cherie was here all along!

"That does it!" says Ethereal and twirls out of the fairy house.
"I Knew it! I caught You!" says Ethereal, but Branch quickly pretends that his feet are very interesting!
"You don't fool Me!" Ethereal laughs at him, Laz thinks it's funny too, how Branch will fib about his weirdo obsessions.

"I was just looking at the carvings on the fairy house, is all." explains Branch, acting like he is studying it intently.
"Branch, when will you admit it?" asks Ethereal. "It's not like you're inconspicuous!"

"Aw haw haw, Ethereal, I'm not harming anyone! I'm but a pundit, appreciating my field of expertise!" laughs the weirdo fairy, highly entertained.
Branch is just being Branch, he has no clue of others' boundaries, but at least he is never Mean! And that's why everyone quite likes this overfriendly, odd fairy with his innocent baby face.?
https://i.imgur.com/nvF7hnL.jpg
Branch steps a several feet away to be polite, to let out an outrageous stinky belch!

"Well, he does mean well at times." laughs Ethereal, thankful Branch had the decency to step away!?
