Settling in

Forman Family

Charles, 35/ Rose, 27/ Maine, 7/ Mike, 2
March 2021 (spring)

Charles had just been transferred over to the Spring Valley Soars. He packed his family up from Newberry and moved them to a new house. His daughter wasn't coping well with the move but his son was thriving. 

His wife got a job at a small dance studio in town and was loving it so far, this was the first time she would be working since having her babies. Charles knew her though and knew she wanted to have 10 kids. She would soon be pregnant and jobless once again if she got her way. 

Charles was getting worried about his daughter though. She was plagued with nightmares recently. The doctor said it was just because of her OCD and once she got use to her new surroundings she would be fine again. 

His son was as happy and chipper as ever before. He was always an easy going boy, unless he was hungry. It was 4 in the morning and he had climbed down from his crib to wake his mom and dad up. He would be two shortly and he was growing by leaps and bounds. 

Rose was making friends by leaps and bounds. She needed to in order to help the studio grow. It seemed wherever she went she made it better. Charles loved his wife for her drive. 

Maine has recently threw herself into music. It was really helping her cope with her feelings and she was getting really good. It, at least, didn't make her parents ears bleed anymore.  

A small fire was started downstairs because like Charles predicted, his wife wanted another baby. 

Charles was never one to turn his wife down so upstairs they went to try. 

Charles heard Mike start screaming and it was a different scream then he was use to. Charles and Rose rush downstairs to see that the microwave oven was on fire and quickly spreading to the stove... They had a gas stove and if it got to the stove the whole house would be up in flames in no time. 

Rose keeps a level head and rushes her kids out of harms way. Of course she goes upstairs which wasn't the best plan in hindsight but the fire was able to be put out in time. 

Lucky Rose was able to get some new counters put in before her and her sons birthday. She was now 27 and her son was 2. She had to get crackin' on those babies if she wanted to have 8 more. 

A family friend and coworker of Rose came over to help celebrate the birthdays. She wanted kids too but just couldn't find mr. right. 

Bright and early the next morning, on Charles first day of work, Mike wakes him up for their little tradition. Charles would work out early in the morning while Mike played with his blocks and crayons. It worked perfectly because his wife was NOT a morning person. 

Rose leaves out later that day to gather some fresh ingredients for a special dinner for her husband. She was pretty certain she was pregnant. Her period was a few days late and aunt flo normally came like clock work. 

Nancy: Your new, are you finding everything okay?

Rose: Oh hi, yes. My family and I just moved here at the beginning of the month and I just heard about your store. You grow everything yourself?

Nancy: Yeah, it's a full time job but I love it. It bring me peace. 

Rose notices that Nancy is pregnant and starts asking her about the due date. Nancy tells her she is due in June and she is in her last trimester.  The conversation goes on for a while before Rose has to dash off to make dinner and pick up her son but she is confident she has made a new friend in town. 

Rose got home late and walked in on the nanny yelling at her husband for making her stay over.

Nanny: People have lives Mr. Foremen and I will not be taken advantage of. If your wife was going to be this late she should have called!

Chales: Now hold on. I am still your employer and you have no right to talk to me this way. You are always paid on time and always a little extra. If our arrangement is a problem for you don't come back. 

Maine comes into her moms room a few hours later to discuss the nanny being fired. 

Maine: Mommy, did the nanny get fired because of me. 

Rose shocked: Of course not baby ducklin'.  She got fired for being rude to daddy. When you work for someone you must keep your tone in check at all times and the way she talked to your father was out of line. 

Rose gets down on her daughters level.

Rose: Nobody would quit because of you. You're an angel sent from the heavens above my ducklin' 

Maine smiles at her mom and hugs her tight. Her mom always knew what to say to make her  feel better. 

Instead of getting a new nanny they instead of a live in caretaker for the kids. Her name was Emelia Barron. She was a fresh college grad with no family or home. She was perfect.

On the last day of March, the worst thing ever happened. Rose had a doctors appointment to confirm what she already knew, she was pregnant. On her way out the doctors office she got bite by something. She didn't think anything of it because she had a lunch date with her new friend, Nancy, and didn't want to be late. On her way home to shower and change she fell really ill. She died right outside her house.

Charles rushed home when he got the call from Emelia. His wife was dead, oh god what was he going to do. He walks in the door to see his little girl crying and shaking. He grabs her and hugs her tighter then he ever has before. What was he going to do. 

A/N: My damn heart. I was playing this house and it was like all of a sudden boom I couldn't find Rose. I thought she had glitched or something so I'm searching everywhere trying every trick in the book and when I logged into my computer again I saw her tombstone. I was heartbroken yall. I had plans!!! But as life goes you can't control everything, even when you playing god.
