Following The Fords - Legacy Story

Hello hello! Welcome to another OliCait blog! This time, we're going to be following a young couple on their road through life. This story is still very new and in development, so I'm very open to suggestions - should I spice it up with some plot twists? Include more characters? Add a supernatural twist? Let me know in the comments below!

Now, without further ado, let's meet the newest members of the OliCait family...

Spoiler
Mila Beckett and Zach Ford!

https://i.imgur.com/cKhhqre.png

Mila and Zack met at high school and have been dating since Junior Year. They're now young adults just setting out into the world together, buying their first home, finding where their passions lie, and enjoying every moment together.

Zach is an ambitious foodie who loves spending time outdoors. He aspires to be a world famous chef - he has an unmatched talent and passion for cooking. He is starting off his career in the culinary industry as a caterer.

https://i.imgur.com/YWgrfWe.png

Mila is a loyal, romantic perfectionist. She has big dreams in every area of her life - she believes that she and Zach are soulmates and aspires to spend forever with him. She wants a big, happy family and to reach the top of a career in journalism - she is currently working freelance for a large journalism firm and hopes to impress the bosses and make her mark in the industry.

https://i.imgur.com/TgYlGit.png

The couple have spend a long time saving, looking at houses and dreaming about what their first home would be like. Well, today is the day that dream becomes a reality. After years of hard work and saving, Zach pot washing as he works his way into a culinary career and Mila working in Britechester library (where her Father is a professor) and freelance writing on the side, and a little help from parents, the couple are ready to make their move into their first home in Willow Creek!

https://i.imgur.com/GCzbh4q.png

The house is small but has a lot of potential. One bed, one bath and an open plan is perfect for the young couple as they start out their lives - while they intend to move somewhere bigger as the family grows, this is definitely a good place to start. The kitchen and bathroom have been recently refitted, so are in decent shape.

https://i.imgur.com/8yspvn7.png

https://i.imgur.com/plE8NS3.png

While the rest of the house- the bedroom and living/dining area, are empty space where Zach and Mila can really make it their own. With plain white walls and grey wooden flooring, it's a perfect blank canvas.

https://i.imgur.com/XGJ2gAU.png

https://i.imgur.com/PX6ONm1.png

A lick of paint in the bedroom is all that's needed to freshen the place up

https://i.imgur.com/K5X83t1.png

Then it's time to get to the good part - furnishing and decorating it! Let's make it home...

https://i.imgur.com/wK9INM3.png

https://i.imgur.com/62dnSCl.png

https://i.imgur.com/yxWM4r8.png

t's been a long and busy day, so Zach takes a moment to lie down on the couch - at least the TV is working okay!

https://i.imgur.com/NWgwR3u.png

With only a few jobs left to do, the young couple decide to reward their hard work with a pizza. Yummy!
They're so happy to be living together in their first home, and are excited to see what the future holds for them.

https://i.imgur.com/vYFjL5s.png

But the immediate future holds only one thing - sleep! Their first day in the new house has drawn to a close and it's time for Zach and Mila to get some well-earned rest.

https://i.imgur.com/DOnF51Q.png

Tomorrow, Zach starts his new job as a caterer, while Mila has a lot of work to do if she's going to impress her boss and start getting the good writing assignments! So for today, this is OliCait signing off!

    Day 24! Let’s do this…

    Spoiler
    It’s another snowy morning in Willow Creek as Zach and Mila prepare for their first day of hormone treatment. After a quick breakfast, they head off to the doctor’s office

    https://i.imgur.com/LFFn8Ip.png

    Once there, they are taken to a room with a nurse who talks them through the process of the injections: after today, Zach and Mila will be doing the injections themselves, so it’s important they know what to do

    https://i.imgur.com/FUebmqq.png

    Zach watches on with support as Mila receives her first shot. She is told to do these once a day, preferably in the morning, and to ensure more traditional baby-making activities happen no sooner than 6 hours later

    https://i.imgur.com/2oidsgM.png

    And that’s it! Just a simple shot (though by Mila’s facial expressions, perhaps not exactly an easy one) and a little rest, then it’s time to head home.
    Back in Willow Creek Zach prepares a healthy lunch for them both

    https://i.imgur.com/KQbfJRI.png

    And they sit down to eat. Zach asks Mila how she’s feeling, and she tells him she feels very nervous but excited to see if the treatments will work

    https://i.imgur.com/V4WOg6X.png

    After lunch Mila sits down to finish working on the Sulani history textbook with feedback from the client

    https://i.imgur.com/iiMSFfC.png

    So, Zach decides to leave her in peace and head off for a jog

    https://i.imgur.com/5Rx5DCe.png

    And read up on some new gourmet recipes for work

    https://i.imgur.com/pcdtD7p.png

    Mila is happy with the new edits she’s made and happily sends them off to the client for approval

    https://i.imgur.com/PL4VyHo.png

    While Zach decides to treat his wife to a romantic dinner for two. He starts cooking

    https://i.imgur.com/qpt8BW9.png

    While Mila changes into something cute

    https://i.imgur.com/EEPa2mf.png

    And sets the table

    https://i.imgur.com/Awh0OJU.png

    They sit down to eat

    https://i.imgur.com/xmp6J9o.png

    And talking soon turns to flirting

    https://i.imgur.com/7nHfX09.png

    Which turns to kissing…

    https://i.imgur.com/5vwFtsr.png

    And the suggestion to take the date night to another room

    https://i.imgur.com/VvtrGXF.png

    Which I’m rudely shut out of! Well, I suppose they need their privacy…

    https://i.imgur.com/8o7qoke.png

    So I’ll just watch the snow fall outside…
    Pretty

    https://i.imgur.com/GN0wzZi.png

    Oh good, they’re back! Zach heads for a shower

    https://i.imgur.com/DxywlvT.png

    While Mila sneaks into the kitchen to make a very special cake – tomorrow is Zach’s birthday!

    https://i.imgur.com/gXUCWbx.png

    It looks amazing!

    https://i.imgur.com/Ti57UTV.png

    She hides it in the fridge until tomorrow and the couple head to bed, a day of birthday celebrations ahead of them

    https://i.imgur.com/gGGvEPr.png

    And that’s all for today! What will happen next? Will the treatments work? And if so, how long will the couple have to wait? How will they celebrate Zach’s birthday? And what else might happen? Find out next time!

    It’s day 25 and Zach’s birthday! Let’s check into Willow Creek…

    Spoiler
    Mila starts her morning by making some pancakes for breakfast

    https://i.imgur.com/ojCToEd.png

    She’s also put up some balloons and banners to celebrate Zach’s special day

    https://i.imgur.com/3K2RpKE.png

    https://i.imgur.com/8IG8RpS.png

    They sit down to eat and discuss their plans for the day

    https://i.imgur.com/VpqheRs.png

    As Zach’s birthday falls the day before Christmas, it’s always been tradition to go pick out a Christmas tree

    https://i.imgur.com/cmivIrU.png

    They pick out some warm clothes

    https://i.imgur.com/tNP30uS.png

    And Mila does her morning injection

    https://i.imgur.com/bv8Om7O.png

    Then it’s off to the Christmas tree farm!

    https://i.imgur.com/tNRKyo0.png

    The couple walk through the maze of trees, enjoying the scent and the feeling of Christmas

    https://i.imgur.com/UCgERao.png

    Zach almost loses Mila in a sea of giant trees!

    https://i.imgur.com/yJOIB80.png

    But eventually they find a favourite! Zach gets to chop it down and then it’s packed up for them. With the tree picked out, the couple decide to enjoy a hot drink and pretzel from the food stall

    https://i.imgur.com/MuaCX2E.png

    And Mila tells Zach she’s booked them tickets to go and watch his favourite movie, Roaring Vice!

    https://i.imgur.com/08BTCpU.png

    So, after dropping the tree off at home they head to the movie theatre

    https://i.imgur.com/ozvAhOe.png

    Where they meet their friends

    https://i.imgur.com/ETPbU4o.png

    They head into the theatre just as the movie starts

    https://i.imgur.com/nxs58lo.png

    And Zach shares some movie facts with them – he just can’t help himself!

    https://i.imgur.com/YGGb6LA.png

    After the movie ends the friends say goodbye to each other and all head home, where Mila gives Zach his birthday gifts

    https://i.imgur.com/czFMVm5.png

    A beautiful new tree topper, some framed photos, clothes and a cookbook! He loves them!

    https://i.imgur.com/J5HBCnL.png

    Then it’s time to decorate the tree! They move the table out of the way and bring in the tree

    https://i.imgur.com/p47auUd.png

    Then add the decorations

    https://i.imgur.com/InQTDUf.png

    What a beautiful tree!

    https://i.imgur.com/xjLJ3mx.png

    The couple share a kiss, both wondering if they will be joined by another family member next Christmas…

    https://i.imgur.com/xBG8j3z.png

    Which, of course, leads them to another birthday activity…

    https://i.imgur.com/FSFn5NV.png

    Then, of course, it’s time for cake! Happy Birthday Zach!!

    https://i.imgur.com/UmMTjKI.png

    https://i.imgur.com/JIggZjU.png

    And with that, another day in Willow Creek draws to a close. Tomorrow is Christmas Day!

    https://i.imgur.com/IVa5MrU.png

    And that’s all for today! What will happen next? How will Christmas go? And will Mila’s treatments work? And what else will happen? Find out next time!

    Day 26! Merry Christmas!

    Spoiler
    Merry Christmas from Willow Creek! Mila starts off her morning with another daily injection

    https://i.imgur.com/WV4PpdM.png

    Before picking out a festive green top for the day

    https://i.imgur.com/G1KmWmf.png

    Meanwhile, Zach is busy in the kitchen preparing Christmas lunch

    https://i.imgur.com/kLnFbpM.png

    Trying to keep out of the way, Mila decides to put up a few last-minute decorations

    https://i.imgur.com/LtJ6EDF.png

    The house looks so cute!

    https://i.imgur.com/z4WRJlQ.png

    Inside, she sets the table and decorates it will holly and Christmas crackers

    https://i.imgur.com/YUg6Ktv.png

    And just in time, as the guests arrive!

    https://i.imgur.com/ICsyk7g.png

    Zach and Mila are having a family Christmas with Clarissa and Henry this year, and the parents are excited to visit and check in with the couple

    https://i.imgur.com/lkS53ek.png

    Hellos are said and holiday greetings exchanged. Clarissa compliments the table and even snaps a picture of it, making Mila feel very proud

    https://i.imgur.com/MreHXOu.png

    Zach adds a few last minutes gifts from Henry and Clarissa to the pile under the tree

    https://i.imgur.com/hJr4EfY.png

    And resists the urge to peek inside! Mila breaks open the wine for everyone (mixing herself a cola, of course!)

    https://i.imgur.com/GDkxH3o.png

    And then it’s time to call everyone to the meal!

    https://i.imgur.com/NSwOPR7.png

    It looks delicious as everyone tucks in

    https://i.imgur.com/L3hV4wx.png

    Of course, everyone compliments Zach on a job well done! They share cheesy Christmas jokes, share family stories, and laughter fills the house

    https://i.imgur.com/NreiFBr.png

    Then Zach hops up to make a toast, to his beautiful wife, their journey over the past year, and of course to Henry and Clarissa and all of their help, both emotionally and financially

    https://i.imgur.com/m2ZbLkT.png

    With lunch finished and a few minutes rest to digest a wonderful meal, everyone decides to pull their Christmas crackers!

    https://i.imgur.com/COcY8uh.png

    Inside are funny jokes, candy and other bits and bobs!

    https://i.imgur.com/iY3l3H5.png

    Then it’s time for presents! Clarissa goes first, opening a beautiful gift of a personalised photo album with photos of the couple, some new throw cushions (what else for an interior designer!) and a few new books

    https://i.imgur.com/cEWlyrz.png

    Henry goes next, receiving some new books, a new scarf, and a potted plant (he’s quite a keen gardener, after all!)

    https://i.imgur.com/W53Xc0R.png

    Next up is Zach, who opens up his gift of new kitchenware, a particularly snazzy chef’s coat, and a new tablet! Wow!

    https://i.imgur.com/Yy72yYd.png

    Finally, it’s Mila’s turn. She receives some new clothes, books, and a coffee machine! That will certainly come in handy!

    https://i.imgur.com/iHbvW4i.png

    With gifts opened and thank you’s exchanged, everyone sits down to enjoy some hot apple pie for dessert

    https://i.imgur.com/nijdcrd.png

    After everyone is thoroughly stuffed with dessert (Mila had 2 pieces of pie!) everyone sits down to talk some more. Mila tells Henry and Clarissa about the three houses they went to view the other day

    https://i.imgur.com/Pe9JKMx.png

    And tells them that they certainly have a favourite they’re hoping to save up enough for by Spring. She shares some photos of it with them, and both parents approve!

    https://i.imgur.com/7ZTFKfq.png

    Despite all the fun, the day turns to evening and it’s time for the parents to bid farewell and head home

    https://i.imgur.com/i4r3Awh.png

    It’s been a wonderful day full of laughter, family memories and delicious food, which has absolutely exhausted Zach and Mila! So after waving their parents off and agreeing to finish the cleaning tomorrow, they head to bed.

    https://i.imgur.com/oaRL9Zz.png

    Ending Christmas Day in Willow Creek! That’s all for today! What will happen next? Which house have the couple chosen, and will they be able to move into it before someone else snaps it up? What else might happen? Find out next time!

    Day 27! Let’s head back to Willow Creek…

    Spoiler
    It’s a quiet morning the day after Christmas. Zach and Mila both sleep in, tired from their festivities the day before. Eventually Zach wakes up and preps some breakfast for the pair.

    https://i.imgur.com/n4SAtlf.png

    They discuss their plans for the day. Zach has work in a couple of hours, and Mila has been invited to Liberty and Calli’s new house in Windenburg!

    https://i.imgur.com/guzlWja.png

    But before anything else, Zach helps Mila with her morning injection

    https://i.imgur.com/ALv7MCp.png

    Such a sweet moment – I truly hope Mila gets pregnant soon!

    https://i.imgur.com/kw6AJax.png

    With the injection done, Mila sits down to check her e-mails. The client was thrilled with the Sulani history book and has paid Mila $2,500! Yay! She checks for any new assignments, but none have come up yet.

    https://i.imgur.com/b0tGzB1.png

    Which is probably for the best as she has a busy day ahead of her in Windenburg.

    https://i.imgur.com/hUdsAzX.png

    As she arrives at the house, she is immediately thinking how gorgeous it is!

    https://i.imgur.com/5jc3bJO.png

    It’s right on the waterfront and boasts a wonderful view! Mila knocks on the door and is greeted by Liberty and Calli, as well as Summer, who arrived just before she did!

    https://i.imgur.com/ePTIru8.png

    After a quick tour the group sit down to share stories of their Christmases. Summer shares a photo of her very special gift: an engagement ring! Rafael proposed!

    https://i.imgur.com/PKy12cu.png

    Mila and Liberty are thrilled for her! And even more thrilled when she asks them to be her bridesmaids!

    https://i.imgur.com/xHR7KVn.png

    Of course they agree!

    https://i.imgur.com/fh3RHNH.png

    Another wedding is on the cards! I’m so excited!! What wonderful news!
    As Summer invites them both to a New Year’s bonfire at her house tomorrow, the trio head out to enjoy the snowy view before heading home.

    https://i.imgur.com/LJkx0jG.png

    Back at home, Mila checks her e-mails again, this time seeing a new assignment come through!

    https://i.imgur.com/N3FmbvB.png

    She decides to get straight on it, chatting to the client

    https://i.imgur.com/GCdWOff.png

    Before getting straight to writing some notes

    https://i.imgur.com/L2ivSeV.png

    After getting a rough plan done, it’s time for some dinner

    https://i.imgur.com/2fjoypP.png

    And some TV

    https://i.imgur.com/ERpiyci.png

    With a few hours until Zach gets home from work, Mila decides to whip up some chocolate chip cookies to take to Summer’s house tomorrow

    https://i.imgur.com/a6aqofd.png

    They look so tasty! I wouldn’t be able to wait!

    https://i.imgur.com/uPj5Dtf.png

    Before too long, Zach returns home in a very good mood – he’s been promoted!

    https://i.imgur.com/dG5Bkrj.png

    Mila is so proud of her husband and his new job as a pastry chef, and gives him a loving kiss!

    https://i.imgur.com/ZFlCZmO.png

    Before deciding on an even better reward…

    https://i.imgur.com/5VhqtNp.png

    Then it’s time for bed. Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, a day for making resolutions and wishes for the future. What resolutions will the couple come up with? And what else might happen? Find out next time!

    Day 28, Happy New Year’s!

    Spoiler
    It’s the final day of the year here in Willow Creek and we join Mila in the kitchen preparing a fruit salad for breakfast

    https://i.imgur.com/hjdg4fF.png

    The couple sit down to eat and discuss their daily plans. Zach has his first day as a pastry chef but should be home by 5pm, in plenty of time to get ready and head over to Summer’s New Year’s party.

    https://i.imgur.com/wyIMHLP.png

    Mila decides on an outfit for the day

    https://i.imgur.com/YL6PwlJ.png

    And the couple decide to spend their morning doing some quiet reading. Zach reads one of his new cookbooks for inspiration, while Mila reads “reel her in”, a gift from Liberty.

    https://i.imgur.com/90a5etw.png

    The sun is shining outside and the last of the winter snow is slowly melting away, with just patches left. Zach heads off to work

    https://i.imgur.com/vXPb72I.png

    And Mila spends a few hours working on her new assignment

    https://i.imgur.com/bQMuWWv.png

    Time certainly flies while you’re in the zone, as before she knows it Mila hears Zach returning home!

    https://i.imgur.com/ExdsCuV.png

    But he’s not in a good mood! Turns out today was incredibly stressful, as the rest of the pastry chefs were behind on New Year’s orders and he had to pick up the slack! Mila sympathises with her husband and offers him a massage to help him relax

    https://i.imgur.com/eAB6Nrz.png

    And a kiss always helps, too!

    https://i.imgur.com/CIQ5bGe.png

    With Zach feeling a little better, the couple get dressed for their party – looking good, Mila!

    https://i.imgur.com/3VEg99e.png

    Then they head across the street to Summer and Rafael’s house – Travis has moved out, and Summer has kept their house the trio of friends shared.

    https://i.imgur.com/sN6FZcs.png

    Outside the bonfire is roaring

    https://i.imgur.com/kuTBwwO.png

    And Zach gives Rafael a hand grilling some ribs for everyone, showing off a little!

    https://i.imgur.com/ZokjgPU.png
    Then it’s time for some good food…

    https://i.imgur.com/VzBmGsY.png

    And a little dancing…

    https://i.imgur.com/CCQXJGf.png

    https://i.imgur.com/MlRs0XC.png

    After a few hours of enjoying the bonfire and partying, it’s time to head inside to watch the countdown

    https://i.imgur.com/XV8cIeu.png

    3…2…1… HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    https://i.imgur.com/VEx2LkR.png

    The couples all share a kiss to ring in the new year, then head outside for the fireworks

    https://i.imgur.com/paxe4vS.png

    Enjoying the beautiful colours

    https://i.imgur.com/9ajdg4J.png

    As they start to die down, Mila, Summer and Liberty head inside to warm up and share their resolutions for the new year. Mila starts…

    https://i.imgur.com/SKdwB4I.png

    As they know, Zach and Mila have been trying for a baby. She reflects on the many negative tests she’s taken…

    https://i.imgur.com/oxhNxE2.png

    And on the test, she took last night, which revealed a very faint line…

    https://i.imgur.com/mNYQa7L.png

    So, this year will be a very special one…

    https://i.imgur.com/A1VMMTm.png

    BECAUSE ZACH AND MILA ARE HAVING A BABY!

    https://i.imgur.com/ny8Aqr5.png

    That’s all for today! Tune in next time as we begin not only a new year, but a new chapter in Zach and Mila’s life, as they prepare to welcome their baby!

    Day 29 – it’s a new year! Let’s check in with Zach and Mila…

    Spoiler
    Last night we found out some very exciting news: Zach and Mila are having a baby! They’ve told their friends, and now it’s time to tell Henry and Clarissa that they’re going to be grandparents! Being about to share this news makes Mila think of her Mother, and how much she wishes she was here to share this moment with her…

    https://i.imgur.com/lV0mfZB.png

    Mila decides on an outfit for the day – she has a small little bump and it’s so cute

    https://i.imgur.com/GscEojE.png

    Zach and Mila head to a nearby brunch place to meet with Clarissa. They all greet each other happily

    https://i.imgur.com/xRw6T91.png

    And sit down to order

    https://i.imgur.com/aWKvJtm.png

    While they wait for the food, Clarissa asks the couple how their New Year’s celebrations were. They tell her all about the party, Summer’s engagement, and the fireworks. Then they tell her all about their resolution!

    https://i.imgur.com/svalTZW.png

    Clarissa is absolutely thrilled to hear the news!

    https://i.imgur.com/idSrUse.png

    She can’t wait to be a grandmother!

    https://i.imgur.com/cnc3IeI.png

    Their food comes and the three sit to eat. Clarissa tells the couple how excited she is for them, and they tell her that they’re hoping to move into a new home before the baby comes.

    https://i.imgur.com/QmsmaIc.png

    After brunch they say their goodbyes – Clarissa congratulates the couple again as she heads home

    https://i.imgur.com/Q7E93dF.png

    Back at home, there’s just enough time for a quick change and goodbye from Zach

    https://i.imgur.com/qrA9UNr.png

    Before he heads off to work

    https://i.imgur.com/yFk9M98.png

    Leaving Mila to head over to Britechester to tell Henry the news

    https://i.imgur.com/ejeMqBB.png

    At the house, Clarissa greets her father happily

    https://i.imgur.com/vOTS09Z.png

    And the two sit down and talk about their New Year’s plans. Henry has decided it’s getting time to retire, and has decided to put his house up for sale and buy a small cottage somewhere peaceful – perhaps near Zach and Mila’s new home

    https://i.imgur.com/G9E4bv7.png

    Mila says that sounds like a great idea, especially with his grandchild on the way!

    https://i.imgur.com/KI7dcyn.png

    It takes Henry a moment to register what Mila has said, but after a gesture to the small bump, he realises that she’s pregnant! And he’s over the moon!

    https://i.imgur.com/l2oRIoB.png

    Henry and Mila talk a little more about the baby and the house, before talk moves to Penelope. Henry tells Mila how proud Penelope would be of her, and how much she’d have loved to meet her grandchild. He suggests they take a visit to her grave and pay their respects.

    https://i.imgur.com/Q0RGEMt.png

    So they hop in the car and head to the cemetery

    https://i.imgur.com/46bj5ga.png

    Both spend some time telling Penelope about their lives and how much they miss her, before Henry steps away under the pretence of visiting his own parent’s grave so Mila has some time alone. She sits and tells Penelope all about her journey of trying for a baby, and how excited she felt when she found out she was pregnant. She tells her that she misses her, and hopes she’s watching over her.

    https://i.imgur.com/YOTtPEI.png

    After a while it’s time to head home. Henry and Mila share an emotional hug as they say goodbye to Penelope

    https://i.imgur.com/dNSMrZx.png

    And Mila heads home, just in time to be greeted by Zach, who has returned home from work

    https://i.imgur.com/fO4OjIl.png

    Day 30!

    Spoiler
    It’s another spring morning in Willow Creek as Zach and Mila get ready for the day ahead. Mila is now into her second trimester and has really popped! Look at that bump!

    She gets dressed for the day and makes a mental note that she really needs to get some maternity clothes, as even her loose overalls are feeling pretty snug now

    In the kitchen, Zach is preparing breakfast

    And once it’s ready they sit down to eat

    The couple talk about some plans – now Mila is into her second trimester, they’re really feeling the rush to move into a new home before the baby comes. The house they saw and fell in love with is still on the market, so they’re considering putting in an offer

    But there’s not much time to talk about it now, as Zach has to go to work. He says goodbye to Mila

    https://i.imgur.com/Qt2CMsU.png

    And to the bump

    https://i.imgur.com/5PQHn5y.png

    And heads off

    https://i.imgur.com/WNk9jsG.png

    Mila sits down at her computer and gets on with ordering some maternity clothes

    https://i.imgur.com/WNk9jsG.png

    Then spends some time working on her writing piece, getting ready to send it off to the client soon

    https://i.imgur.com/vzxWwUv.png

    Soon, though, she’s interrupted by a knock at the door

    https://i.imgur.com/ccp2cr0.png

    Summer has come to visit!

    https://i.imgur.com/UrDb4k1.png

    It isn’t just a social visit, though, as Summer has some news…

    https://i.imgur.com/mmPj1wu.png

    She’s pregnant!

    https://i.imgur.com/wPZKFOl.png

    Summer was nervous to tell Mila, feeling guilty about getting pregnant so quickly after Mila’s struggles, but Mila is over the moon for her friend and is so excited that her baby will have a friend to grow up with!

    Summer thanks Mila for being so supportive and gets ready to head off to her first baby scan.

    https://i.imgur.com/B6oPnK9.png

    With Summer heading off to her baby scan, Mila gets a text from Liberty
    “omg, can you believe it! You and Summer having babies together, I’m so happy for you!

    https://i.imgur.com/Rgria3m.png

    With an hour or so left until Zach returns from work, Mila gets a bit more work done. Every pay check brings them closer to their new home!

    https://i.imgur.com/JMhRm0d.png

    Soon Zach returns home from another day of work

    https://i.imgur.com/0GwU8PA.png

    He decides he’s had quite enough cooking for today and orders a pizza instead

    https://i.imgur.com/n8ZgWCr.png

    It arrives soon after

    https://i.imgur.com/G7g6dZr.png

    And they sit down to watch their favourite cooking competition show with some pizza

    https://i.imgur.com/mTL07vm.png

    Mila also tells Zach about Summer’s visit and her exciting news – Zach too is thrilled to learn their child will have a friend to grow up with, and that he and Mila will have some parent friends to share advice and stories with!

    As the show comes to an end it’s time for bed for the couple

    And that’s all for today! What will happen next? Will Zach and Mila be able to move before the baby comes? And what else will happen? Find out next time!

    Day 31! Welcome back! It's a big day, so let's settle in...

    Spoiler
    With Mila about to enter her third trimester, she’s purchased some cute maternity clothes – she looks so adorable!

    https://i.imgur.com/iA6yxuw.png

    She heads into the kitchen to prepare breakfast

    https://i.imgur.com/q2JbfNz.png

    And she’s joined by Zach, who checks in on his wife and asks how she’s feeling. She’s luckily not had much morning sickness but is suffering with back pain and has constant cravings for sweet food! She’s also entered the nesting phase, and is eager to get into a new home before the baby arrives

    https://i.imgur.com/dMqsWqR.png

    Zach tells her that he agrees, and wants to call the estate agent to find out if the house they fell in love with is still on the market. Mila is so excited!

    https://i.imgur.com/4kQOdxl.png

    After breakfast Zach sits down to make the phone call, Mila cleans up, anxiously listening in to see what is said

    https://i.imgur.com/ruq5Piy.png

    The estate agent invites them to meet her at the property to go over some details – the seller is keen to sell to a young couple who can raise their family in the house, so Zach and Mila are their ideal buyers! They head to the property and meet with the agent

    https://i.imgur.com/hpX5tAK.png

    And are reminded how much they loved this house! After talking to the agent, the couple head to a nearby park to sit and talk things over

    https://i.imgur.com/cIWiUnG.png

    The house is a little on the pricier side, meaning that with decorating and adding in a nursery they wouldn’t be left with much, but this home seems worth it…

    https://i.imgur.com/nAs999g.png

    So, they decide to go for it! They email the agent with an offer and are accepted straight away! They’re moving!!

    https://i.imgur.com/OpXGdhn.png

    The house is already vacant so they can move as soon as they want – and they decide tomorrow! Mila will be in her third trimester and ready to give birth at any time, and they want to be ready! So, back at home, Zach prepares some lunch

    https://i.imgur.com/dLcQQTg.png

    While Mila calls to tell people about the news, and also recruit some reinforcements for the move in!

    https://i.imgur.com/r09ZtYq.png

    With everything sorted the couple sit down to eat, feeling both excited and nervous

    https://i.imgur.com/VeDmWlc.png


    Mila is excited to start discussing decorating the baby’s room, and Zach decides to start packing things up tonight

    https://i.imgur.com/sPVYLvl.png

    So Mila gets some work done on her latest writing piece, wanting to get this draft sent off before the day is over and the move begins

    https://i.imgur.com/QRluw1M.png

    While Zach packs up some décor items, clothes and anything else that isn’t needed tonight

    https://i.imgur.com/W3IrugB.png

    He also gets some cleaning done

    https://i.imgur.com/FiOMMtZ.png

    Before deciding to put on some popcorn

    https://i.imgur.com/PQZuAPD.png

    And putting on a scary movie with Mila! Why not!

    https://i.imgur.com/3yLpfFV.png

    The couple enjoy their last night in their home with a thoroughly terrifying movie called “Sims Of The Dead”

    https://i.imgur.com/pyt2ZDL.png

    Before heading to bed – tomorrow will be a very busy day!

    https://i.imgur.com/5AJXHix.png

    It’s strange to think that tomorrow they will be moving into a new home and leaving their first home in Willow Creek for good. What an amazing adventure they’ve been on in this home, and what amazing memories are sure to come as they move into their new home to accommodate their growing family…

    https://i.imgur.com/0QxWQiV.png

    That’s all for this episode! What will happen next? Will the move go smoothly? And as Mila enters her third trimester, how long will we have to wait before we meet baby Ford? Find out next time!

    Hey guys! I've been a bit MIA recently due to life just getting hectic, but I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. I was also feeling a bit pointless with the story, but decided even if only a few people read it, or no one at all, it's a great outlet for me so I'll keep going! New episodes of Following The Fords coming soon! X
