The Adventures of Isabella Claire: Chapter 3

We last left Isabella as she was being proposed to. They planned the wedding, and started construction on a house, bought land at the top of the cliffs ... and started the build of their house as they begun their wedding plans.

They decided to name it Claire Mansion, so she could hang onto something with her surname. The wedding was beautiful, they had it on the beach below their property and even though Leighton and Dexter almost came to blows with Hunter, it was beautiful. They moved into their house that night.





It was absolutely everything she wanted and more.

And then........
Oh that's not good, that's not good at all..... she thought it was to soon in the marriage. They had JUSt gotten married and now she was having morning sickness? She was pregnant!?!? There was still a slight fear that the baby would be Dexter's. What if?

Hunter put her fears to rest, he told her he didn't care, that the baby would be a blessing and that he would love him or her no matter what. They were married, and he loved her. No matter the genetics, this was his baby.
So she decided to take a walk, still shocked by the fact, telling herself all the time "I'm pregnant, I'm REALLY pregnant" ... it just didn't sink in.


She decided she needed to go to the bookstore to learn everything she could about pregnancy and babies, so she sat and read some books while snacking on some fruit. Apples, Watermelon, even some grapes! She was craving fruit big time.

She ran into another pregnant lady on the street and they couldn't help but to stop and compair notes, including the bad fashion out there for pregnant women. Seriously, they were wearing the same thing!

She was feeling so tired and sore these days, she knew the baby would be coming soon. Hunter just pampered her and talked to the baby all the time.

And the passion between them was still there

During her pregnancy, Isabella discovered a love of photography...

Her and Hunter continued to read pregnancy books and birthing books - they wanted a home birth so they studied on it. Hoping there were no complications.
Then one night when they were cuddling on the couch, infront of the fire, she stood up. They both started to panic ...
So she asked Hunter to take her upstairs to the room they had started to set up as a nursery, where she could see the lighthouse and use that as a focal point.
So since they never moved his little office, just shoved it in the corner, he decided to play computer games while she labored away in pain. She cussed at him from across the room and told him she'd never let him live it down...

Boy or girl, they were ready! Instead of just buying one crib, they bought two - one for each gender since they didn't know what they were having...
And then it happened......... the magic of birth...
As she held her daughter in her arms for the first time, she started to cry. It was a miracle, a blessing. They were no longer Hunter and Isabella, now they were a family ....

But then something strange happened and the pains returned, after another few moments, Isabella found herself giving birth to ANOTHER baby .... it was TWINS, she had been carrying twins!!
Isabella asked Hunter what he thought they should name them... and he said he always liked the names Joey and Jessie for girls, even though they were seen as mostly boy names. Isabella thought about it for a minute, and nodded. Joey Morgan and Jessie Claire.
Joey and Jessie grew up so quickly, before they knew it, the girls were toddlers! So full of energy and busy ... the loved to sit infront of the mirror on the landing outside their nursery where they would play with their bears.

They rarely found time be together much anymore, with Hunter at the Acadamy for Officers and her busy with the twins. It was always one of those WOW moments when they did manage to cuddle in bed, or on the couch - even if just for a few moments.

And when they found time for a little............ woohooo ... it was always fantastic....

But then one morning, she was getting sick again and she stood there and thought....... no, I couldn't be....... Could I??? Tired, sick, crabby ... my clothes are to tight.... Oh MY Gosh........
And sure enough....... expecting again......

She almost RAN to the comptuer and started to look up the chances of having twins a second time....
Stay tuned for chapter 4 ... will Isabella have a boy now? Another set of twins??? Catch up more with her in the next chapter!
