Dalila's Update

When we left Dalila, she was still having feelings of low self-esteem, despite a husband who loved her and three beautiful children. It seems her flirtations with Perry turned into more one day while Aaron was at work. Deana was old enough to know what was going on in her mother's bedroom and this upset her greatly. It hurt Dalila as a women and mother to hear the soft crying of her daughter outside the bedroom door.



Dalila hurried Perry off before Aaron came home. That night Aaron came home with a promotion to Freelance Photographer. He wanted to celebrate with his wife. He tucked the kids in early and made a romantic dinner for he and Dalila to share. They shared a beautiful night together that rekindled feelings in Dalila she hadn't felt in a long time.



Dalila got up early the next morning to work out - it made her feel better, plus she needed the extra body points to gain another promotion at work. For the next few days, she didn't call Perry and he didn't come over. She hoped he would avoid her as well - she had decided she couldn't chance losing all that she had for stupid, selfish reasons.



The next day they celebrated birthdays all around the house. First, the twin, Arden and Ardith grew into children. Ardith first (Taurus, 5,9,3,8,4)...



Next came Arden (Libra 6,9,3,7,10)

Finally, Deana grew into beautiful teenager (Pleasure, Taurus 5,9,3,8,4) Her dream in life was to have 50 Dream Dates, and with her good looks, I don't think she will have a difficult time with that.



After all the birthday festivities were over, Dalila had some news for the family...she was pregnant again! Aaron was so excited! Dalila was afraid this child was conceived out of her affair with Perry. She worried how this may affect her family - she knew this baby's arrival has the potential to destroy the lives and feelings of many others, and herself. She was too scared to confess her affair.



This pregnancy was rather uneventful for Dalila. The kids were excited about a new brother or sister and they helped with the preparation of the nursery. Dalila was overwhelmed with feelings of guilt everyday she carried this baby. Perry soon started calling again, but she would just hang up on him. Soon, Dalila was wakened from sleep by labor pains. Oh no! She didn't know if she was truely ready for this. She gave birth to a baby boy, Paul. The minute she looked at her newborn all of her guilt turned into panic. Aaron would surely notice the difference in Paul's skin color, however, he did inherit his mom's big blue eyes.



Aaron was very proud to have another son. He had a sensation that Dalila was hanging on to something that she hadn't confided in him. What could it be? He worked hard trying to gain another promotion, his growing family needed him to be a solid provider.

Big sister Deana was the only one there to help Paul into toddlerhood! Deana remebers that man that used to come visit her mom and she saw her mom kissing him on more than one occassion. She also noticed the resemblance with Paul. She didn't care, he was her brother and she loved him whatever the truth was.
