Nikki enjoys playing with the fireplace
We all knew Nikki was the daredevil type. What we didn’t know was her fascination with fire. She loved poking and prodding the fireplaces. Thankfully, they had all been fireproofed by my father a long time ago so I didn’t have anything to fear with her strange behavior.
Antonio remains unpredictable
Rosalind doesn't understand her nephew
I was still getting surprised by Antonio even though I knew he would continue doing whatever he wanted. One evening I observed him cleaning up the bathroom floor. When I asked him about it later, he said that he had just been following the orders of the mysterious gnomes. Rosalind called me up one night to tell me that she had had a brief conversation with Antonio in the park. Apparently, he had expressed an interest in her personal life and asked her questions about life “on the outside”. She figured I should be concerned but I wrote it off as typical Antonio.
Midnight fishing with Helena in her nightie
Helena still spent her time fishing and even visited the cemetery. Sometimes she forgot to get dressed and fished in her nightie.
Great Minds think Alike
Around this time, Antonio and Helena managed to finish a pair of paintings. It was fascinating how alike they were and I was happy to see Antonio exhibiting some “normal” behavior.
Petruchio and Nikki celebrate together
In the days following their wedding, Patrick and Nikki spent a lot of quality time together. I didn’t expect them to try for a family straight away, but then again, they never seemed to do what I expected. I’m sure Patrick had no complaints because he often talked about what a great kisser Nikki was.
Nikki's typical midnight snack
Nikki's nausea
And I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised when Nikki showed all the typical signs of being pregnant. She had all the signs, from the weird cravings to the morning sickness.
Expectant Mother
Sure enough, it didn’t take long before she herself knew what was going on. I must admit that Rhiannon and I were rather happy at the idea of grandchildren.
