Chapter 5: Surprises

At first, Kyo and Megan kept their relationship a secret but later believed they should not hide their love because of their parents' misfortunes. The two spent time together in public, and Kyo had even stopped by her house to pick up Megan for a date. Of course her mother was nasty towards Kyo, but he didn't let it effect him. The two made love for the first time and soon Megan was pregnant. Kyo immediately started the wedding plans and sent invitations to their family and friends. Megan did not want her mother to attend, afraid that she may start trouble. The wedding was ready to begin but one unfortunate soul was not going to see the end of it.

Mike Huynh had reached the end of his days and met his fate right before his son's wedding. It was an awful way to begin the ceremony but it had to continue without his father. After the wedding, the guests departed and Kyo received a phone call that his mother Irene had died as soon as she returned home. Naturally Kyo and his sisters were devastated after losing both of their parents on the same day. Even with these traumatic deaths, the siblings still had something to be thankful for. Kyo was now married with a baby on the way and got a new job to support his new family. Time went by and Megan had their first baby boy Daisuke. Happy to see his first child come into the world, Kyo wanted another baby. The same night, the two tried for another child and once again she gave birth to another baby boy, Aito. Feeling the joys of fatherhood all over again, Kyo gets Megan pregnant again.

Seeing her brother full of joy with his new life, Kagura thought it was time for her life to change for the better as well. Kagura invited over Chin-Han and the two went out for a night on the town. When they returned back to Kagura's house, she proposed. Chin-Han said yes and the two spent the rest of the night at Kagura's home. Days passed and Megan was in labor again, this time giving birth to twins. Kyo and Megan welcomed baby girl, Yumi, and baby boy, Sasuke, into the world with open arms. Seeing his family getting far too big for the house, Kyo took his wife and children to a new home and left the house to his sisters. Not too long after their departure, Kagura had a private wedding with her childhood crush and high school sweetheart Chin-Han. The two were happy to finally be married, and not long after the honeymoon was over did Kagura and Chin-Han decide to start a family of their own.

As her sister began to settle down with the man of her life, Tammy went out to find one for herself. She met family man Shannon Ebert. Despite finding a married man with three kids, Tammy still tried her luck and to her surprise was successful. Shannon admitted to being unhappy with his wife, and the two let their love flourish. Still as smart as whip, Tammy had discovered a star and named it after her lover. Naturally of course, the two kept their love a secret but it wasn't long until people realized the product of their forbidden love. Tammy was pregnant with their first child, and later while giving birth to her first boy, Genji, Tammy was completely unaware that her sister was finally pregnant herself. Knowing her sister has always done right by the family, Tammy decided to marry Shannon before their second baby, Fawn, was born and move in with her new husband. With the marriage came a great celebration for everyone except for Joyce Ebert. After the wedding, Shannon changed all the last names of his children from Ebert to Huynh, so as not to offend Tammy. Furious, Joyce refused to move out of the house and tries constantly to get back into the good graces of her ex-husband. Kagura and Tammy still continued to keep in touch with one another, but many times it frustrated Kagura to hear her sister complain about Joyce's evil plots and sorts. Kagura had her own family to manage and listening to her sister became tiresome. Days past by and Kagura gives birth to twin girls, Azula and Asami. Raising the twins has been long hard work, and Chin-Han was never ashamed to call a babysitter so he could get some rest. The girls grow older and are almost ready for school, but Kagura and Chin-Han believe they can go through parenthood together all over again. With Kagura's new pregnancy, they're hoping for triplets.

Chapter 2: Drastic Changes

A few days have passed and Kyo has grown into a typical troublesome toddler. As his needs and demands grow larger, so does Irene's belly. Things are getting hard to manage around the house, even with Irene's maternity leave. The garden is slowly drying out and without the maid coming to clean the house every day, it would be in shambles. Going into her third trimester makes Irene slow and easily tired out. Taking note of his wife's depleting strength, Mike tries very hard to balance work and raising his son at the same time. His daughters are not of much use, since one is busily running about in the streets at night and the other is heart set on a boy's money. Even though he strains himself daily trying to manage his job, kids, and home, Mike refuses to seek the help of his brother Matthew, still refusing to forgive him for flirting with his wife. When all seemed like things couldn't get worse, piece by piece the world began falling apart. While out on his date with Bridgett, Matthew finds her suddenly going into labor. Immediately, Matthew rushes her to the hospital so she can deliver the baby safely. After 2 long hours, Bridgett gives birth to a healthy baby boy named Javier. Matthew escorts her and the baby to her house and

then sets off for work. The very next day Matthew invites Bridgett over to the house with only one goal in mind: to impregnate her again. Like always, he was successful. As Matthew was enjoying his free time, Jessica was out having a date of her own. Seeing that Delbert was slowly losing interest in her because of her lack of maturity, she decided it was high time to act her age. Jessica invited him over and threw herself a birthday party. She blew out the candles, became a young adult, and was free from curfew, school, and her immaturity. The same evening, she convinced Delbert to stay the night. Without hesitation, she jumped onto her one chance to bag him for good. They flirted and teased with one another until the early hours of the morning. Eventually for the last time, Jessica asked Delbert to leave Fatima for good.
Believing Jessica would be the better woman for him, Delbert agreed. For the next three days, the two were inseparable. Delbert, at Jessica's request, spent many nights with her, and soon she decided it was time to "pop the question." Surprised at the proposal but anxious to accept, Delbert said yes and the two were finally engaged. To ensure that her precious lifestyle wouldn't be ruined, Jessica insisted on having a baby and starting a family of their own, and as always Delbert agreed. It was only a few hours later did the signs of pregnancy show through. Jessica found herself running to the toilet multiple times a day, relieving her stomach. Ultimately, she realized she was pregnant. It wasn't long after Jessica announced her pregnancy did her stepmother Irene go into labor. Mike rushed to her aid, and they were off to the hospital. After it was all said and done, Mike could finally understand why Irene's pregnancy was more difficult than her first; she was carrying twins. They decided to name their first born girl Kagura and the second girl Tammy. Knowing that her father's family had expanded yet again, without her mother, Maria became furious. One morning, she woke up before everyone else in the house, like every morning, and was off to school, but she didn't return home that day. Panicked Mike frantically called her cell, but Maria refused to answer. It was only hours later did Mike hear from his younger brother, Bryan, that he had taken the girl in. Maria was entirely fed up with the constant reminder of how her mother abandoned her and how her father had forgotten her. Without notice, she took the clothes on her back and her school bag to her uncle's home, where she would hope to start a new life, away from her parents. Genuinely concerned about her sister's wellbeing, Jessica left the house to

visit her, only to find out that Fatima resides there too. Words fly and tempers rise as the two start fighting over Delbert. The two wished they could go head to head, but Jessica would never risk her pregnancy over a petty girl like Fatima. Two days later, Jessica secured her victory over Fatima and gave birth to baby girl Haruka Huynh. Jessica thought it would be best to send the child over to her grandparents before the wedding, so there will be less adjustments when the time came for her new family to move into their new home. The same day Jessica wanted to have her wedding, so she invited her family and friends and even purchased her wedding dress. The pizza was ordered and all the guests had arrived. The only person missing was the groom. Jessica frantically called time and time again, but Delbert said he couldn't make it because he was busy. Terrified he was out with Fatima, she ran next door to his house, but he was nowhere to be found. She was devestated, but Jessica was determined not to let him go. She sent all of the guests home only to invite them again the next day. This time Delbert was early. As wonderful as it was, not all of the attention was on Jessica's wedding. Kyo was having a birthday upstairs and finally grew into a child. Then as if by clockwork, one of the guests attending the wedding ceremony had gone into labor...again.

Bridgett was found heaving and sighing at her contractions by the side of the house. Once again Matthew had taken her to the hospital to give birth to another healthy baby boy named Vince Huynh. Sadly, because Bridgett had gone into labor, Matthew had missed his niece's wedding. He never wanted to attend on her account. Matthew was more interested in the guests that were in attendance. He escorted Bridgett and the baby to her home, and soon he was at it again. Impressing Bridgett with his clever words and alluring body language, he was able to get her in the mood all over again, but to reassure that she didn't deny him of his true intentions, Matthew proposed. They lie in bed together three times in efforts of trying for a baby. Realizing he had been through this routine before with her, Matthew grew tired of Bridgett. It was time to break it off and find something new. Without regrets, Matthew left his two sons and pregnant ex-girlfriend to fend for themselves as he headed straight for the town hotel.
