I decided to document the lives of generation 2 of my Masterson Family in their own thread, mainly so I could keep all their updates in one place. Who They Are The title is pretty much self-exp...
I know, I know, there were only three chapters of "Erytheia and Alexander" and only three chapters of "Xanthe", but I came up with the plotline for this ages ago. And as I said, I'm not great at naming these things. I think I'll keep the "Sisters Forever" title permanently now, just to make things easier ?
Sisters Forever, Chapter One: Back Together Again
First part narrated by Xanthe Masterson
"You said you had something to tell me?" I took a deep breath. No point in trying to beat about the bush. "I'm pregnant." "Oh."

He remained silent for a while, and I guessed what was coming. "Look, Xanthe, I think you're a great person and everything... but I don't think I'm ready to be a father." "Right." "I'm younger than you are. Sorry, I don't mean to imply that you're old or anything, but we are at different stages in life. You've got a really good job and a university degree, and I'm still unemployed. I just don't know what I want out of life." "Right," I repeated. "Well, thank you for being completely honest." I felt oddly OK with what he'd just told me. I wasn't the first woman in my situation and I wouldn't be the last. "I think it'd be best if we broke off our relationship," he continued. "Yeah, me too. I understand. You're a great person and I know you'll be able to sort your life out soon." "Can we still remain friends though?" he asked. "Of course."

With that, I left. Single motherhood it was, then. I decided not to host any meetings of Baking Mad for a while, just so I could focus all my attention on my child, plus I knew it'd be best to make a clean break of things and not see Logan at all at first. We'd decided to remain friends, but I needed a bit of breathing space.
Whilst sitting at my computer on Wednesday afternoon, I got a call from Xanthe. "Erytheia? I need to talk to you." "Fine, go ahead." "I... I'm coming to your apartment. I need to tell you in person." She said goodbye and hung up before I could reply. I had an uneasy feeling, and I just hoped that she was okay.

Before long, Xanthe was stood in front of me. "I'm pregnant," she said. I looked at her abdomen, and sure enough there was a small bump there. "Oh wow," I replied, not really sure what to say. "Is it Logan's?" "Yes. But..." It hit me. "Oh. You're not together anymore, then?" "No. He says he's not ready to be a dad." "Well, at least he's honest. "Yeah, exactly how I feel."

"Why don't you move in with us?" I blurted out. "Really? You're OK with that?" she replied, looking rather shocked. "Well, I wouldn't have suggested it otherwise," I said. "But what about Alexander? What does he say?" Whoops, that's a point. I spotted some dirty plates and impulsively went to tidy them. "I really don't mind," Alexander smiled. "We lived together at university, remember?" "Of course," Xanthe said. "Every mother needs support, particularly if they're on their own. I'm so grateful."
I settled down on the sofa with Xanthe to watch a cooking show. "Seriously, thank you so much for this," she said. "No problem," I replied. "I'm your twin sister. Of course I want to help you out." "Being twins doesn't guarantee anything," she said. "We could easily dislike each other." "Well, we don't," I laughed. "I do know what you mean. Some people might think we're a bit enmeshed, but who cares? So what if we both have the same job? You're more into your painting and I'm more into my violin. We don't dress the same or style our hair in the same way." "Very true. Argh, watching this makes me hungry... and not just because I'm pregnant." "Same here! I think everyone gets hungry watching cooking shows," I grinned.

After acquiring a bed and putting it into the room we'd been born in, I decided that it was finally time to put Coco properly to rest. We visited a small cemetery and got permission to place her grave there. "I miss having cats," Xanthe said as we gazed at her tombstone. "Yes, me too," I replied. "Now is probably not the right time. Alexander and I are planning to start our own family soon enough." "Oh, I could be an auntie!" Xanthe grinned. "But I totally agree. We should get a pet when they're a bit older. "Have you thought of any names?" I asked. "I was thinking it'd be fun to continue the Greek mythology tradition," she said. "I quite like Theseus for a boy." "And a girl?" "Oh, Ariadne," she smiled. "Theseus is, of course, from the Minotaur myth, and so is Ariadne. The two were originally lovers, but Theseus ended up marrying someone else."
