Kelly runs up to her room, sobbing, and puts on her pajamas, then goes to her mom's room and thinks about how this was supposed to be the first night her dad would sleep in that bed as a part of the household. And now her mom would have to sleep in that same bed without him. It's just so unfair, she thinks. She just doesn't understand at all what happened! Nobody does! Posted by Hello

Autumn can't stop crying, as well. She keeps remembering going shopping with her mom for the perfect dresses for all of them, in Lola's wedding colors, pink, light blue, and white. They were all so happy that day and now Autumn feels like she'll never feel that happy again. Posted by Hello

Jade bawls away while Forest and Pine try talking to their mom about what happened. Lola doesn't seem upset at all, and just chats away like nothing is wrong. Her sons are concerned that she may be in shock, but Lola convinces them that she is fine and that everyone should just go home. Posted by Hello

. . . she is completely devastated and everyone else is too in shock to console her. To a little girl, a wedding is a perfect fantasy, and for her that fantasy has been destroyed. Posted by Hello

Everyone stands up and watches Green stumble away, like you can't help but stare at a car wreck. Lola's best friend from work, Cherry, who she had invited last minute, feels terrible. Pine tells his mom that he will take care of cleaning up all of this wedding stuff, that she shouldn't have to worry about it. Autumn thinks about what this will do to her mom. And poor little Jade . . .  Posted by Hello

The wedding preparations are perfect. Flowers, a new walkway, an arch, a cake--Lola spent a lot of her precious money to make the wedding beautiful. Small, but elegant and beautiful. Everyone is seated, Little Jade holds her mommy's hand and walks her up the aisle. She places her hand in Green's and goes to sit down. Then the unthinkable happens. Green gets that look on his face again like he had at the birthday party, swallows hard, and stammers out, "I'm so sorry, I really have to go. I can't do this. I'm so sorry." And he leaves Lola standing alone at the altar. Everyone is in utter disbelief and Lola is convinced that this is all just a REALLY bad dream! Posted by Hello

Forest and Spring come over all dressed up for the wedding, and enjoy playing some Red Hands on the porch they used to play on growing up. They are really happy for their mom and dad, and thrilled to be part of their wedding! Posted by Hello

"Wow, Mom, can you believe you're FINALLY getting married to Daddy?" "Sometimes I can't, honey. But it REALLY is happening today!" "YAY!" Jade shouts happily. (I love her new little outfit that matches her face paint.) Posted by Hello

"Thanks, Wisteria, for calling to wish my mom and Green a happy wedding day! Sorry you guys couldn't make it. My mom talked Green out of having a huge party, and just having all of their kids together here. . . . Yeah, I know you understand . . . I'll show you all the pictures! Thanks again for calling!" Posted by Hello

Another shot of Autumn, in better light. I think she may be my favorite teen girl of Green's, but they are all so pretty, it's hard to decide! I think I need to change that outfit, though. Posted by Hello

As the family is about to dive into the cakes, suddenly Green gets this strange look on his face, says he's not feeling too good, and starts walking home. They all think that's strange, that he could have just lay down in their house, and the rest of the party is a bit subdued. Posted by Hello

And Reed comes back down transitioned into a toddler, complete with the confetti Aspen threw at the same time he tossed Reed into the air. Posted by Hello

He tosses the baby up into the air while his mom tries to stop this annoying coughing she's been doing recently. Posted by Hello

Aspen brings the baby out to see if the next cake is out and ready for him. Aspen's friend from school who was hanging out with him while he was watching the baby joins in the celebrating. (I can't remember her name at the moment.) Posted by Hello

Check Autumn out! Pretty, pretty! Posted by Hello

. . . then start jumping up and down and cheering to see Autumn grow up well into a teenager! Posted by Hello

It's transition time! Everyone holds their breaths . . .  Posted by Hello

After a nice birthday dinner, Autumn blows out the candles on her cake. Her mom, dad and sisters watch her while Aspen takes care of the baby. Posted by Hello

Green comes over for the party and snuggles Reed while Lola gives poor Kelly a big ol' lecture because she didn't clean the house good enough for the party. Lola is getting a little stressed out with planning the birthday party and her wedding party coming up soon, too! Green's not sure he likes seeing this side of Lola. Posted by Hello

Jade is happy about the new dress that she's going to wear to Autumn and Reed's joint birthday party today! Posted by Hello

At Lola's house, little Reed is growing like a weed, ha. And he's still the apple of Aspen's eye. Posted by Hello

No, it's just Cadet, using his levitating/teleporting trick to go to bed. Lazy kid doesn't want to go to the trouble of walking all the way to the bedroom. :-) Posted by Hello

What's this? Is a ghost getting into the bed? Posted by Hello

And Grey definitely has green babies on his mind as well, as he feels his kick for the first time.  Posted by Hello

Orchid still loves to stargaze, wondering about the aliens who keep gracing their family with beautiful green babies. Posted by Hello
