Fanon:The Genesis Project/Chapter 14

The Harper Household
Tyler was a little upset about being demoted from manager last season, so he focused on finishing the apartments so that they could be ready to move in at the end of fall. He was just about finished with only needing to do the finishing touches inside the apartments when he passed away. It would be a few days before I would be able to finish them, so I just left them completely bare for those who move in to paint and furnish as they wish. All of the lots that Tyler had put up for sale have all been sold, so means that I will have to get some more lots ready for sale before there can be any more new businesses. Not something that I wanted to handle all of the sudden just before my birthday.

To be honest, I was actually looking forward to just working in the culinary industry. Now that I have to manage all of the family businesses as well as all of the household needs, it doesn't look like I will be able to focus much on it. At least Jim only has one business, and it is related to the music industry as he wants to work with. Maybe when Chad is a little older with kids not needing his attention so much, he will be able to take over the household before I die so that I can do what I want.

I really need to change the subject because this is getting me quite upset. So, Tyler's urn has been placed in the cemetery along with the other Originals. I have also completed painting portraits of all of them and have placed them above the urns. That way everyone will know what they looked like and have something to reflect on.

The last matter of business that I have for this report is about the move ins and move outs that we had. With Chad and Franklin having their birthdays, Franklin has moved in from the Potter household to join ours. At the time of this report, they have not yet gotten engaged, but I know that they will before the day is over. Lee and Brad have also had their birthdays. Lee moved out with Sebastian to create their own household. They have moved into the lot right next to us. Brad has moved out to join with the Baker household. I'm sure that they will mention it in their report, so that is all for now.

The Carpenter Household
This season we had quite a bit of changes. First thing was that the boys had their birthdays. Because they were young adults now, Drew and I decided that they should help around the Carpentry some. That and because the Carpentry needed some focus and building up. I must admit that I really worked George harder than I did Jacob mainly because I want to groom him to take over the household.

That proved to be a smart choice because a couple of days later Jacob decided that he wanted to get engaged to Joe Taylor and join with his household. I know that Drew was a little sad to see his son leave, but his son was happy so he was happy for him. I'm not sure how I would react if George did that, but it seems that I won't have to. George tells me that the only one who he is not related to of his cohort is Caleb Fisher. Because Andrew is there with Ed already, George feels that Caleb will most likely come over to our household before he goes over to join with the Fisher household. I actually see his reasoning there.

So we were able to get some focus on the Carpentry as well as the Rec Center - although not as much. Because of the hard work that we did, George was able to master his skill in sales just like his dam. Now I will just need to get him going on his restocking and cashier skills. While its true that those skills aren't needed for the Rec Center, they are needed for the Carpentry. That could be why it has taken a bit longer to get it up to a level 5 business like the Rec Center.

Hopefully I will be able to get George up to an acceptable skill level soon. The reason is that both Drew and I had our last birthday, so it is only a matter of time before he has to take over just like I did when my dam passed away. Although, I think that I just might transfer everything to George before it comes to that so that I can at least see if he is truly capable of running things. I guess I could see because I bought one of the stores on the first floor of the apartments on W Main St. I could have George run it as a small gym so that whoever lives in them won't have to go far to workout.

The Fisher Household
Well, we have had quite a few things happen this past season. Shortly after the season started, Ed gave birth to Billy and Randy. It has been interesting having babies in the house again. Both Andrew and Ed have really taken to being parents very well. It will be interesting to see what these two little boys will get themselves into as time goes on. Right now, they just like haggling each other.

With the focus on the new twins, there hasn't been that much happening business wise, much less improvements. In fact, I think there has been a minor loss this season. I hope that we can pick that up soon, but I suspect that it won't be next season with winter coming. The cold weather doesn't really lead to a whole lot of good fish. I believe that I have enough to hold us all over for the winter, so I am not too worried about that.

Caleb is really looking forward to finishing with school and doing thing like all of his brothers and cousins have been. He told me the other day that school has gotten a little lonely with only a few still left, and that is getting smaller by each passing day. It guess there will be a few days that there will be no children in the neighborhood, but that will change soon when Billy and Randy become school age. And I know that there will be several to follow because of all the pregnancies that are happening now.

To think that it was only a few days ago that my brothers and I were all pregnant. Now we are getting older and they are all getting pregnant. In fact, I just had my own elder birthday. I remember that my dam wasn't too happy when that happened for him, but I don't think it is really that bad. Of course, there were many things that made him unhappy. That isn't to say that there aren't things that make me unhappy. Like when Ed sways over me. Sends shivers down my spine. Another thing that I wasn't too happy about, but understand why Thomas decided to, was him moving into the new apartments. Since Ed is the only one that he isn't related to, Thomas didn't want to stay in the same house when Andrew and Ed are committed to each other. I don't know what that will mean for Thomas, but he seems to think he will be alright.
