So we start out with birthdays, four to be exact. Rayen and Gray were becoming teens, and Jack and Damien were becoming children.
Right before the party was due to start, Rayen grabbed her mother's cellphone and ran outside. She knew neither her mother nor Alessi would invite Douglas, and she really wanted him there. So once she had the phone and was away from everybody, she quickly called him up.
"Hello?" he answered groggily
"Daddy!" screamed Rayen.
"Hi Princess," said Douglas, suddenly chipper. "How are you guys doing?"
"Guess what!" cried Rayen. "It's my birthday! And also Jack and Damien's."
"What about Gray?"
Rayen rolled her eyes. "Yeah, his too." She sighed and said, "So, can you come over. The party starts in a little bit."
"I wouldn't miss it for the world!" cried Douglas. "I'm on my way!"
Rayen waited outside, and as soon as her father pulled up and ran over and excitedly started telling him how much she missed him, and before he could get a word in, everything that had happened in the days he was gone.
"Woah," cried Douglas. "Let's catch up after you become a teen. I want to see you guys blow out your candles!"
Rayen shrugged. "Kay," she said indifferently, before grabbing his hand and dragging him inside. "Come on, everyone's going to be so excited to see you!"
Not everybody was. Alessi and Lorelai sure weren't, though Gray was glad he was there. Damien perferred the company of his mother and Jack, and didn't know anybody else in world existed, and Jack just didn't seem to care one way or another.
But the party went off without a hitch. Rayen went up first, and thought long and hard about her wish. She finally exclaimed, "I wish Dad would come to stay."
Gray burst out laughing, as he saw Douglas get kicked out, and knew he was never going to live there ever again. "In your dreams!" he laughed.
Rayen rolled her eyes, trying to pretend it didn't bother her, but it actually really hurt.
Rayen aged up well into a beautiful teenage girl.
Then it was Gray's turn. He was afraid Rayen would get him back by making fun of his wish, so he took a long time thinking of a good one. He didn't notice that she never came back into the kitchen.
Finally, he thought of what he considered to be the perfect wish. "I wish to be a babe magnet!" he cried.
"Oh, that's a....ummm.... nice wish, sweetie." said Alessi, a little taken back.
"Really, mom?" cried Gray.
"Oh, yeah, sweetie," said Alessi. "Every mother wants to hear their son say that."
Gray didn't grow up as hot as he was hoping, but he was certainly easy on the eyes. He just looked a lot like Nick.
Then it was the little boys' turn. First up Damien. Rayen had come back into the kitchen in time to hear Gray's cheering.
"Yeah, little brother!" cried Gray. "Party like it's your birthday!"
"It is his birthday!" snapped Rayen. "You idiot!"
It was Gray's turn to leave the kitchen.
Damien became an adorable kid, but don't let his rebellious look fool you. He was still a total mama's boy.
Last but certainly not least was Jack. Since Gray was upstairs sulking, Rayen was his main support system.
"Yeah Jack!" she cried. "Go conquer the world little brother!"
Jack looks so much like his mother, except a lot cuter. :-)
Not too long after the party had died down and Douglas had gone to bed, Rayen went upstairs to get ready for bed when she was confronted by Gray. This soon became the biggest fight the two would ever have.
"What did you call me?" screeched Rayen, horrifed.
"A bitch," sneered Gray. "Am I going to have to spell it out for you?"
"Why would you say that?!" wailed Rayen, more hurt than anything.
"Because you hate men," laughed Gray.
"That was when I was a kid!" screeched Rayen. "I didn't mean it! I was just upset because I wanted a sister, and you were the one who got all offended! And your STILL mad about it!"
"You ruined my childhood!" howled Gray.
"Grow up and move on!" snapped Rayen. "It was one comment, get over yourself!"
Gray pulled away, his face twisted with unimaginable hate. "You know what, Rayen?" he said softly. "You can just go die in a hole for all I care."
"Ditto," said Rayen with no emotion what-so-ever in her voice as she pushed past him and went into her room. Once she was in there and closed the door, she fell on to her bed and cried.
Meanwhile, Lorelai was wandering around downstairs, unsure what to do with herself. All she could think about was Rocco. His charm, his smile, his sweet demeanor. She hadn't seen him in days, and it hurt.
She couldn't focus on anything. She would always just stop whatever she was doing, close her eyes and imagine him with her, next to her, holding her hand. Sometimes she could feel his lips against hers, though they had never kissed before.
She spent the whole time in the game room, praticing making drinks, but not for her. They were for Rocco. But not for the same reason as for Douglas, but because the first thing Rocco ever said to her was if she wanted a drink. Lorelai wanted it to be that she could ask him if she could make him a drink, because she thought that was super romantic.
The next morning, after all the kids had been shipped off to school, Lorelai was just standing around, daydreaming, when the doorbell rang. Alessi walked over to her and asked, "Aren't you going to get that?"
"Why can't you?" snapped Lorelai.
Alessi rolled her eyes. "Because its a surprise for you. You've been standing around doing nothing and being useless, and I decided to do something about it." With that, she walked down the hall, then up the stairs.
Now curious, Lorelai walked in the opposite direction to the door, then flung it open. She was surprised to see Rocco standing there.
"Rocco!" cried Lorelai. "Come in, come in!"
Rocco did, and then as he was closing the door, purred. "Your looking great today. How's the baby?"
"She's good," giggled Lorelai, feeling high. "She's almost ready to come out."
"I can't wait to meet her!" exclaimed Rocco. "If she's going to be anything like you, she's going to be so special!"
Lorelai couldn't help it anymore. She leaned foward and pressed her lips against his, though almost immdeiately realized what she had done. She pulled back, embarassed.
Rocco didn't mind, though. He grabbed her and pulled her in close, and then they began to kiss more passionately.
They kissed, made out, and held hands for hours. Rocco than started to spend a little time with the baby.
"Hey cutie pie!" he cried as he pressed his hands against his girlfriend's belly. "I know you don't know me yet, but I'm going to be the one who spoils you rotten!"
"Oh no!" laughed Lorelai.
Rocco laughed too, then asked, "Do you think she'll like me?"
"Of course she'll like you!" cried Lorelai. "And so will my other kids, once they meet you."
With that, they heard a loud horn, then some quiet bickering.
"I think that's my oldest now," muttered Lorelai.
"Hey look!" laughed Gray. "It's your mom with some dude! Is that gonna be your new Daddy?" he mocked.
"Shut up!" snapped Rayen, as she started up the porch steps.
Once she got to the top of the steps, Lorelai opened the door and pulled her daughter inside. "Come on," she said gently. "Come meet Rocco."
Rayen pulled her hand away and snapped, "I think I would rather not!" Gray started to laugh again, and Rayen tried not to get too upset.
"Rayen Lynsey!" snapped Lorelai. "Listen to me! I know you are upset about your father, I know. But this man is very special to me, and I want you to get to know him."
Rayen wasn't in the mood, she had a bad day and just wanted to avoid her mommy's new man of the week, not to mention the bane of her existance, Gray, had been making fun of her all day and was still doing it. So, ticked off at everything and anything, she turned away and marched into the kitchen, calling to her mother. "I have a lot of homework, maybe later? Or not?"
Upset, Lorelai turned to Rocco and cried, "I'm so sorry! I don't know what's wrong with her lately! She really isn't acting like herself!"
Rocco shrugged. "It's okay. I'm sure she's just going through a hard time. You should just sit down and talk with her. Maybe she's feeling alone because her dad is gone."
"But I'm always here!" exclaimed Lorelai.
"Maybe she doesn't she it that way," Rocco offered. Lorelai thought about that for a minute.
Damien came home a little while later, and Lorelai gently dragged him in the same way she did to Rayen. Damien was a little spooked, as he figured that he was in trouble. He was shocked, however, when his mother explained that she had a new boyfriend.
"A new boyfriend?!" cried Damien, alarmed.
Rayen nodded. "This is him right here. His name is Rocco."
"Hey little man!" cried Rocco. "How are you doing?"
"Okay," Damien stiffly answered, then turned to his mother and cried, "So does this mean we aren't going to spend anymore time together?"
"No!" cried Lorelai. "Absolutely not! Your still my number one guy."
"If at anytime you feel that your not spending enough time with your mom," said Rocco. "Just let me know, and I'll step off a little."
Damien still didn't look convinced, so Lorelai decided to try something else. "So Rocco," she blurted out. "How is your fishing pond doing?"
Damien turned to face Rocco wide-eyed and exclaimed, "You like to fish?!"
Rocco nodded. "Yup. Do you?"
Damien shook his head. "I never tried, but I would really love to one day!"
"Well you can come over my house and fish whenever you like!" promised Rocco. Damien grinned, and Lorelai sighed in relief.
Things were going well. Damien was really starting to like Rocco. But before things could go any further...
Lorelai grabbed her stomach and screamed in pain.
"Woah!" howled Rocco. "Are you okay?!"
"Mommy!" screamed Damien.
Just as fast as the pain came, it disapeared, Lorelai sighed, and then said, "I'm fine."
"Mommy!" wailed Damien. "Is the baby okay?!"
Lorelai picked at her shirt a little. "Don't worry Dame-Dame, I'm sure she's..."
Lorelai sudden;y doubled over in pain. "Okay... okay she's coming!"
"I'll take you to the hospital!" Rocco offered.
"Can I come?!" cried Damien.
"No!" snapped Lorelai as she hobbled outside. "You stay here!"
Rocco rushed Lorelai to the hospital, and stayed with her the entire time. Douglas arrived just in time to hold his new daughter, little Cassandra Lynsey.
Everyone was smitten with baby Cassie, even Alessi. She remembered what Douglas said to her when she was pregnant with Gray. That every child she had was special. Alessi kind of felt the same way with Douglas's kids.
Rayen probably loved her the most. As far back as she could remember, the one thing she wanted was a sister of her very own. Not a half-sister of a step-sister, but a little sister that had the same mother and the same father as she did. And even though she didn't approve of how she came into the world, Rayen was just so glad that she was finally here.
Nobody really wanted to see little Cassie grow up. They wanted her to be the same sweet baby in the pink blanket forever. Alas, she grew quickly, but into a beautiful little toddler.
Cassie was probably the sweetest person in the Cheaterville house. Her mother bought her stuffed animal just like she did for Rayen and for Damien, and Cassie fell instanly in love with it. She named it Blotty, and would cradle it and sing to it whenever she possibly could.
Cassie was also the shyest person. If things got too loud or too dramatic, she would hide away.
Will Rayen and Gray EVER forge a friendship?
Will Alessi find a new love intrest?
Will Cassie end up as wacky as the rest of household?
All will be revealed in the next episode of... CHEATERVILLE!!!
