Spring runs off to get ready for school, and Forest finally comes down for breakfast. Lola is thrilled to see all her guys together, but is still worried about the little guy inside her. The doctor said she's fine and that some women don't show until near the end of their pregnancy, but Lola has a feeling something is wrong. She hopes that things are fine their little alien family will continue being so happy. 

Green loves spending time with what he thinks of as his family with Lola. He's stayed the night yet again and is having some breakfast with his beautiful daughter and son, and the woman he thinks of in his heart as his wife. 

Later that week, he's up for a diving contest with his sister. No one was watching, so they don't know who won, but they had fun, so they don't really care whose dive was better. 

Poor Pine parties so much that he conks out right in front of his bedroom door! 

I thought this was cute. Wisteria and Spring have the exact same expressions (and the same hair, because of the crashing, but maybe they just want to be like each other). 

And you can see how much he looks like his brother (befhind him, who finally managed to get out of the pool) in this picture. He looks a little different from him, though, I think. 

And there he goes! Pine becomes a handsome teen, like his brother. 

I love how Pine seems to be speculatively looking at Jan Smith here (the blonde girl). I think he's feeling his teenage hormones kicking in! Hopefully she'll become teen soon, too! 

Pine's sister, mom, dad, cousin Wisteria, and friends Justin and Jan Smith (who are siblings), are all there to celebrate! 

Then, everyone has to get out of the pool, because it's time for Pine's transition to teen! I love the look on Spring's face here. She always looks so happy (except when her mom tries to talk about business with her. :->) 

Since they got a second diving board, the family has fun having diving contests. Here, Forest backs out of a contest with Justin Smith. 

As mentioned before, the Legasea kids often come over to see their cool green cousins. Here's a close up of Wisteria. I haven't been able to change people's hair or give appearances because of computer crashes when I try, so she and Spring have the same haircut. 

Looking good! 

Here, the family eats breakfast together and Forest shows off his new outfit. I guess Spring really doesn't like talking about business. 

The two kids in the family work hard on their homework, while Forest's piles up. He needs to be careful, or he'll be fired from his Medical job! 

Green asks how that baby was coming along, shouldn't you be showing yet? Lola tells him that she's definitely pregnant, the doctor did the test, but for some reason, she's not showing and can't get maternity leave. This worries both of them, especially considering Chloe having had problem pregancies, as well. And Lola is older, so maybe something is wrong. Lola decides to see the doctor again. 

The family that swims together . . . um, swims together? 

And he does! They have their first kiss in the computer game store, so every time Forest plays "Sims: Bustin' Out" he thinks of River. 

Chloe was a surprise to see, but River here was not! In fact, he invited River to go shopping with him. While browsing in the game store, Forest decides to see if River feels the same way about him as he feels about River! 

It's Aunt Chloe! He plays a game of Red Hands with her for old time's sake, since they always played it together when he was a kid and the sisters still lived together. He misses his aunt and wishes she and his mom could make up. 

Forest decides he wants some new clothes and he's earned some money, so he heads to the store. But first, his mom sent him with a list to do some grocery shopping while he was downtown. And guess who he runs into at the supermarket! 

"I heard there are a lot of SCARY ghosts in the Legasea house where you live, is that true?" Pine asks his dad. So, Green indulges him with lots of scary ghost stories about his past relatives. 

In the morning, Green has "the alien talk" with Spring, where he explains their unique heritage and why they should be proud of who they are. 

Green has some birthday cake, and spends the night, which is getting to be a routine. 

Spring's new room. It needs more furniture and sprucing up, but the pretty bed is a good start.
