Dean's Birthday and the First Child


Dean and Emily got married in a private wedding, no party, no guests. And shortly after they welcomed their firstborn child Ron.


Time flew and soon Ron became a toddler.


Raising run wasn't a problem, since he was a well behaved boy and Dean and Emily's financial situation was stable. He had ascended to the Report Processor position; she had switched to Law Enforcement career and was now a Traffic Cop. They both had a good salary and work schedules which allowed them to give Ron everything he needs to grow happy.



And the kid of course was, with his parents attention always on him.


But shortly after Ron's birthday, Emily started to feel unwell, she had nausea and dizziness.

Sí, 

Emily was pregnant again.


Dean could hardly believe it when she gave him the news. Now he would have to work twice as hard to get another promotion, mayebe even switch to a career in which he could earn more money.


Supporting and taking care of little Ron had been relatively easy, but - what would they do with two  babies? How were they going to support them and how would they take care of them if they both needed to continue working?


In the middle of all these questions, Dean's birthday arrived. He was about to become an adult.


Dean made a wish and blew out the candles.


He tried to look happy, but deep in side he was worried about his future and his children's.


And de inevitable moment to become an adult came, with all it implied. Goodbye youth, goodbye University days. Goodbye celebrity and richness dreams.

Welcome adult life with all it's responsibilities and problems.


Fortunately, he had Emily by his side to face whatever was to come. And it wasn't a secret that she was willing to do anything for him.
