After the twin's birthdays, they each tried their hardest to discover the potion which would turn their Imaginary Friends real. However, it never seemed to work out for either of them. For some reason, they never seemed to be able to discover a single potion without an explosion occurring.
After countless times of being singed, the girls decided that they would refrain from discovering potions for a little while. Right now they'd just be happy with their Imaginary Friends in their un-human form.
Things were going downhill in other aspects of the family as well... Cycl0n3 was constantly making fun of his daughters and making rude comments. One day he told Andee that Maeve must have gotten her looks from her because nothing that ugly could have possibly come from his genes.
This was the last straw for Andee. Cycl0n3 could insult her all he wanted, but to insult their children was completely unacceptable. "I'm glad you spend your free time picking out other people's flaws and walking around like you're so perfect all of the time. How about you actually take care of your kids once in a while. I did everything for them while they were little and you did nothing more than what a babysitter I could hire off the street would do."
"What do you want me to say Andee? I'm sorry that I never wanted to come home to this dump? You left this place a mess all of the time. Who cares if you played with the kids for a half hour, this house was a disgrace every day. Who would choose to live like this?!"
And with those comments, Andee lost control. "You are no longer welcome in this house. It's time for you to leave us alone so that we can be a real family. I don't need your attitude bringing us down anymore, Cycl0n3!"
So, although it would tear apart his family, Cycl0n3 hopped in his car and threw one last look towards the house he had shared with Andee for years. "Good riddance." he thought as he sped away.
After Cycl0n3 left, Andee sat down at the kitchen table and thought about what this would now mean for her family. Not only had they lost a father figure, they had also lost their main source of income. After thinking it over for a while, she decided to sell all of Cycl0n3's belongings that had been left behind. She was going to turn this horrible situation into a positive one...and she had a surprise in store for Maisy and Maeve. The new room added in behind Rose's room is actually going to be a new bedroom for Maisy and Maeve. Andee loved all of her daughters very much and knew that they deserved the best. Therefore, she vowed to use any money she made to give them everything they deserved.
She then went over to the computer and enrolled her youngest daughters in after-school activities so that they could make some more friends and gain social experiences outside of their home as their older sisters had done. She enrolled Payton in Scouting and Portia in Ballet.
Andee confided in Rose about the new room for Maeve and Maisie. Since it was a surprise, she didn't want to tell anyone else. Rose knew what this would mean for her sisters because she could remember how excited she was when she first got a room away from the rest of her siblings. She decided that she would take it upon herself to continue drilling around their backyard looking for items she could sell in order to give her mom money so that she could finish their room faster.
The next day, Andee was sitting around the house while the girls were all at school. As she reflected on her life so far, she realized she hadn't focused on herself in a while. Now that all of her girls were in school, she could use her days to find herself some happiness. She also decided to make peace with those who had wronged her in the past.
She went to the park the next day in search of someone she could make friends with. While she was there, she got a call from Hank (Rose's father). She accepted the call and talked to him for a few minutes. She even enjoyed some of his jokes. Things were starting to look up for Andee.
After hanging up the phone, she came across someone she had never seen before. His name was Stan Dingstill and Andee was immediately attracted to him.
Even though she was supposed to be focusing on herself, Andee was immediately smitten by Stan. She used her charm instantly to catch his attention.
After a few short days of courtship, Andee had fallen hard for Stan. She told herself it was true love, but others wondered whether it was a rebound from her tragic argument with Cycl0n3.
Rebound or not, Andee wasted no time at all before proposing to Stan.
Stan accepted immediately. For he had become just as smitten with Andee as she had with him. The two celebrated their pending engagement later that night. (Don't worry! Andee made sure they used protection though. Five children was more than enough for her).
Because she wasn't one for long engagements, Andee decided to throw her bachelorette party the very next day. She took her household funds and splurged on a party atmosphere for the backyard.
All was going well and innocent until someone invited the party dancer...
It all would have been fine if he hadn't been in a uniform (Andee's weakness) and if he hadn't been so darn cute.
Well...I won't tell if you won't.
Needless to say, it was a pretty crazy night. Don't worry, Andee didn't do more than kiss the party dancer (and we're going to blame that on the drinks she was throwing back all night). Even Maeve got down with her bad self.
The next morning the house looked like a scene from The Hangover. Both tv's were broken...
Cycl0n3 was passed out in the kitchen...(yes he was invited).
...and Rose was still dancing on the counter.
It wasn't until a few hours later when Andee was assessing the damages...that she found out she was pregnant. (This baby will not be in the running for potential heir).
Will Stan be excited to be a father? Will he find out about the party dancer?
Will Maeve and Maisie's room be revealed before the baby arrives?
Will Rose find a way to turn Cuddles real before she grows up?
Tune in to the next chapter to find out!
