Gra-mere is the ‘Matriarch’ of the family, so her word is usually law but I have a bad feeling about all of this.

applause I do too!

Wondeful update. Pem has a lot of kindness and warmth... at such an age. She just cares that her family's happy. grin

Pem is sooooo cute! Her reaction to the break up with Nico cracked me up!

And good idea, Leia and Aubé for trading baby days. Except that I think Aubé gets the short end of that deal. What's one more baby when you already have two? But then again, Aubé was able to take care of Pem and Tam, so she knows what she's doing when it's her turn.

I hope Aubé becomes more accepting of Leibé. And I can't wait to see the punishment for Kay! happy

Good update!

I have a bad feeling about all of this.

Oh dear. A Skywalker with a bad feeling is never a good thing.

It'll be interesting to see how this situation with Kay plays out...

Great update

The story of Gra-mere and LIebe is really sweet.

I'm THRILLED that Kay has been found out - never mind about that "Bad Feeling...."

Since I tend to kill the mark up codes I thought I’d get a jump on replies.

A few days ago I actually finished taking Pem’s ‘dictation’, (all 93 entries) that are safely secured with two different friends as well as on e-mail (thank the Force for unlimited storage!) so we’re all packed and ready to go.

But Aubé also had Kay and Toa and a whole family to help out too…

Well, to be fair to Aubé, Leibé is not her ‘Pay-pa’…

And as for Kay… he’s too old to be sent to his room, so we’ll see!

I'm feeling generous - a new post to follow!

**

Dear Tam,

If I though Gra-mere was going to be mad at Uncle Kay, that was nothing compared to how angry my Ma-mere was.

She told Kay (over the holo-net) that he was never to do it again, and things like ‘what are you going to teach her next Kay? How to (a really nasty word for what grown ups do.) ‘

Kay got all mad himself and said that ‘it was up to someone to teach her (me) how to use my Jedi Powers’ and when Ma-mere told him that was her and Pay-pa’s job, Kay said that she and Pay-pa were too busy (that word again) ‘ing to teach me anything worth while!

At that point Ma-mere slammed her fist down on the cut-off button so hard I think she broke it, and I got scared and ran into my room and grabbed Vitty. I heard Ben crying but I knew that Ma-mere wouldn’t be mad at him, and a few minutes later I heard her trying to give him the breast which usually quiets him (but it didn’t this time).

Then she came into my room with a squalling Ben and asked me if I wanted to come with her to Gra-mere’s, and although I knew she was still really mad, it wasn’t at me, so I said yes, and we had a speeder come and pick us up to take us there.

When we got there, Gra-mere wasn’t home, only Leibé and at first Ma-mere wanted to go to the Healer’s center and ‘beat the living (you know what’) out of Uncle Kay, but Ben was still fussing and Ma-mere was in a state. After a minute, Ma-mere allowed Leibé to take Ben while she went to wash her face and when she came back, not only was Ben quiet, but he was nearly asleep in Leibé’s arms!

Ma-mere was ready to get angry again, and said that Leibé had used the Force to quiet Ben, but Leibé reminded her that she can’t really use the Force, and that she just had a lot of experience with new babies. She said that babies liked her ‘soft bumpy bits’ because there was so much of it and Ma-mere nearly actually laughed!

Then Leibé asked if Ma-mere would make us some tea because Gra-mere was on her way home (Ma-mere frowned here – I guess she doesn’t like the idea about how much Leibé knows about what’s going on in our family) and she had me sit down next to her.

Instead of asking me about Uncle Kay, she asked me about my friends and if I had found a new boy-friend yet (I have – three now but I don’t kiss any of them!) and if I liked being a big sister (I do) and then Ma-mere came in with the tea and milk for me.

Ma-mere took Ben back and he decided he wanted the breast after all, and Ma-mere sighed and said she didn’t remember me and Tam ever being this hungry, and Leibé said that she knew about my brother Tam, and that she was sorry, and Ma-mere just grunted. Ma-mere then asked Leibé if she ever had any children of her own (maybe she thinks Gra-mere and Leibé will have a baby?) and Leibé said yes, she had a son, but he died during ‘the War’ which made Ma-mere jump a little.

“I’m sorry,” Ma-mere muttered, not knowing what to say, but Leibé only smiled and said it was a long time ago, and that he died serving the Republic, (trying to restore it) when he was sixteen. It was funny because his Pay-pa had died serving the Empire, but Leibé had always helped in the refugees camps after he died.

Gra-mere also worked in the refugee camps during ‘the War’, and Ma-mere asked Leibé when she had come back to the Core, and Leibé told her that it wasn’t long ago, she had heard that the Jedi were returning and she wanted to help, and then she’d met Gra-mere, and well, that was that.

They changed the subject after that, (and didn’t talk about Uncle Kay at all) until Gra-mere came home. Gra-mere wanted to talk to Ma-mere ‘in private’ about ‘it’ and asked if Leibé would like to take me for a walk while they did and Ben napped. I really wanted to hear what they had to say, but Ma-mere got that stubborn look on her face, so Leibé and I went for our walk.

I hope Ma-mere doesn’t stay mad at Uncle Kay too long, I mean, he was only trying to help after all…

Love,

Pem

Super update. Wow, Pem sure got an earful LOL Looks like Aube may slowly eventually come around to accepting Leibe--a mommy can't fault someone who her youngling actually can cuddle up to... babies have a sense who to like after all wink

I can totally relate to both sides of their argument... Kay and Aube both have valid points. Kay also has a point about her parents' ... laugh mischief Not that this mush lover complains. grin

Oooh, Kay's really in trouble now!

I like how Leibé was able to quiet Ben - she seems like such a nice lady.

Great updates as always! applause

Ack! I got behind! doh! Sorry!

The previous update: I went and read your original version at ff.net and all I can really say is love love love
It was beautiful!

I asked Gra-mere if it was OK that I only liked boys (even though Nico is still a bantha’s butt, there are other boys I like) and Gra-mere said that ‘love was not bound by any rules’ and ‘I could love anyone I chose’, so I felt good about that.
Loved this! Such a cute innocent question and such a wonderful answer!


This update:
Poor Pem.. hearing her Ma-mere being all mad... that had to be scary! hugs

I had found a new boy-friend yet (I have – three now but I don’t kiss any of them!)

Great updates!! applause

I don't envy the position Kay is in....

Wow, this is a seriously furious argument! Too bad that poor Pem heard it all - kids always take adults' anger personally. Still. Pem seems to have a bit of perspective, which is good.

That was rreally interesting conversation with Liebe. I'm glad Aube settled down enough to be able to think.

Wonder how Kam will handle all this? it's so tough when your kids fight.

Great update!

Yes, she did, and it won’t be the first time…

As for Kay – do you detect a bit of ‘Un-Jedi-like’ ummmmmmm, opinions? Sometimes I do!

As for ‘mush’ – you might want to check out Love is Hard as Nails

Me too – I think Aubé’s biggest fear is that Leibé was going to try to ‘replace’ Schurke – and no one can replace a girl’s father.

Kam will handle things as she always have – with more grace and dignity that I ever could!


I love OC’s that have differing points of view and experiences; they keep the galaxy… interesting!

Many thanks folks!
