Set seven years into the future, let's all meet and love Thirdy, Charm and Seb Faulkerson.
This book is inspired by a story I wrote on Payb Takes.
I originally posted it as a special monthsary update but the part has gathered a lot of great comment...
I know I promised a weekly update for this fic but then Realidadhappened and pretty much ate up much of my writing time. Sorry. 😔
I'm afraid though that for the next couple of weeks (as I drown myselfin afangirling dream of being part of AMACON4) I won't be able to post new chapters so before we miss it. I am writing about our first Faulkerson baby's birthday.
Thank you for your patience.
xoxo, Deng
******** April 2024:
The Faulkersons enter the venue in matching white T-shirts and baseball caps. Each shirt had Thirdy's favorite celestial body on it. R's shirt has the moon, M has stars, little Charm has the sun, baby Seb has Hailey's comet and the birthday boy has the red planet Mars on his shirt.
R proudly carries their eldest son in his arms as everyone sings the birthday song with Charm twirling and giggling to the song and Seb clapping in his carrier strapped to his Grandpa Richard's chest.
R&M's little boy has always had an inkling for Science from Biology to Chemistry and everything in between and around but his particular interest was Astronomy. At a young age of six, he seem to have zoomed in on one goal in life which is to become an Astrophysicist. So the theme for his birthday wasn't a surprise to M when she sat Thirdy down sometime after R's birthday that year to plan for their eldest son's birthday.
She still remembers how that conversation went and M couldn't help but smile and be proud of their boy.

"So, Kuya, you're birthday is only over two months away. Where do you want your party?" M asks as she twirls a pen in her right hand right over the empty notebook she especially prepared for planning Thirdy's birthday celebration.
"I don't want a party, Mama." The little boy answers without looking at M while he's busy turning to the next page of the new book he was reading called 13 Planets.

M smiles expecting that response from their son. He wouldn't be Thirdy if he said yes right away. Being the shy and reserved one among the siblings, their eldest son is not a big fan of social gatherings specially one that is focused on him.
"But, Honey, we can't just let your birthday pass without celebrating it. If you want, we can do something else. Maybe, go on a trip or have dinner somewhere you like."
"Mama, why do you want to throw me a party for my birthday?"
"Because, that's how parents usually celebrate the day God blessed them with their wonderful babies." M answers.
