My Shadow

Pride And Joy Abound

Anastasia
For some reason Annabelle was happier in the pink nursery than the other nurseries. The overflow of baby clothing finally fit her. The photos of all of us were amazing. All three of our children played well together. Mia and Gia are due within a month of each other. That's coming up soon. Mia has a new niece in New York. Emily and Timothy had a daughter they named Jennifer Aubrey Cross. Mia of course is spoiling her. Now she is hoping for a daughter he's self. So are Gia and Elliott. We got lucky with our children. Christian feels outnumbered now.

Christian
We are having a lot of fun with all three of our children. We donated a lot of new baby clothing to the hospital for the infants that need them. We donated money as well. We buried the mother of Annabelle Lynn. She is in the Grey family cemetery. We never found out her name. No one knows who she was. She used an X as her signature and they had to read her the documents to sign away her rights away and they had witnesses sign the documents. It is sad that she couldn't read or write, but knew how to find the hospital. Dad was the one who found this out. Miss Simms is in jail now for forgery. Dad won't elaborate further about why, but he says it is serious.

Mr Grey upped all security measures and warned me to especially keep eyes on all the pregnant family members. Even Mia and he has spoken to Gideon. Apparently something came up in investigation on Miss Simms that had his dad on high alert. We are going to send more people to New York. Mia and Gia will have to be with bodyguards until further notice.

Mia
More bodyguards are following me around and I am mad because I already have enough security as it is. Gideon told me that he will increase them if I don't do as they ask. My brother and my husband are both overprotective of me. Apparently they are also protecting Gia just as much. Mom told me to do what I am asked to do. A miss Simms is the reason for all this security added to guard us pregnant women in the family.

Gia
If my bodyguards are increased it has to be serious. I don't want to get hurt or anything else. My baby is being kept safe from harm as well. I don't know why Mia can't see that. Elliott has given her hell for not following instructions and so have the rest of the family. So much so she has agreed to all the extra security finally. I am about to go into labor soon and Mia is due a month from now.

Three days later I have given birth to twin girls that look just like me. I know the family is going to happy to have more girls. Well us girls will be. Ashley Grace and Amber Lynn Grey are very loud and demanding to be fed and changed. Theo and Phoebe are walking and so is Annabelle.

Mia
I went into labor early due to a car crash and it turned out that it was a kidnap attempt put into place by Miss Simms. Our twin sons were born three weeks early and put on oxygen. Gideon jr. And Dean Adam Cross are definitely making their dad and family happy. Security is very tight and I have a suite that only certain people can enter. Gia had the same problem as I did, but she had twin girls. Gideon said we can adopt a girl like Anastasia and Christian have.

Grace
We now have a four granddaughters and I am in seventh heaven. We have five grandsons now. Carrick is insisting security stay tight until the threats have stopped. Mia apparently was involved in a car wreck and it was intentionally done. Security caught the guy and found out he was paid to do a job and he did it. They arrested him and they are trying to get the name of his employer. He said it was a wire transfer and couldn't be traced. No one believes his story. Because of him crashing into the car Mia was in she went into labor and had her boys. Mia wanted girls but got boys. Gideon said they can adopt a girl if she wants to. I told Mia that she has three wonderful boys and to enjoy them while she can. She did as I asked her to. Especially since she knew that the car crash was a hit.

Carrick
We discovered how miss Simms ordered the hits and we caught them, but it was too late to stop the one on Mia.

We caught Miss Simms in the act of hiring someone to kill off the Grey family and we found out why. She had filed a will for each one of them giving their estates to her after their deaths. They were never questioned for some reason. We looked into the clerk she filed it with, if it hadn't been the same clerk that file the wills and on different days he wouldn't have been questioned. Carla was the one who got him to confess his part in it. He of course was fired and is awaiting trial.

Carla
I caught the other assassins and they never knew what hit them. We had a lot of evidence against them. So they took a plea bargain once they knew we had them on the bbq pit and were going to keep the fires burning. They told us everything and how much she was paying. Miss Simms lost her mind thinking that anyone would believe the wills were real. All the wills were refilled with the courts and the fake wills were destroyed after they were used in the trials. I am just glad they didn't kill anyone. This all started because Anastasia and Christian applied to adopt a baby. We think it has something to do with the mother of the baby. We started digging into Miss Simms even deeper. What person doesn't know how to read or write? I always wondered about the X on the documents to give up the baby.
