1.3 Baby baby

Screenshot-39Kali turned into a teenager with very little fanfare, because his parents had got something else to focus on: twin girls.  Alli was born with a love of the outdoors and being easily impressed.  Lola was born good and friendly.

One night, Lianndra took Kali aside.  She told him that now was the time for him to step up to the plate.  He was the oldest, and he would one day be her heir and inherit all that she had.  But for now, he had to help raise his sisters.  She knew she and Jared hadn’t been the greatest parents when he was younger, but Jared was getting older and time was running out.  They wanted to develop their careers and their farming in order to provide a secure future for Kali, his sisters, and the generations to come.

Kali wasn’t impressed.  He wanted to be out swigging cider in the park with all the other teenagers.  Kali wondered when anyone would pay attention to him.

Screenshot-40His parents were still very busy, and although they tried their hardest to help with the babies, Kali often found he was left home alone to care for them.  Whenever he could, he would sneak out to play guitar in the park.  Unfortunately, he got caught staying up past his curfew.

Screenshot-44Lianndra and Jared stayed up all night worrying.  They knew they’d placed too much responsibility on Kali’s young shoulders.  He didn’t even have any friends yet.  What kind of parents had they become?
