2. Fires, Ilness and New Children

***********************************************

Monday began, bright and early. The children went to school and Jane decided to make herself some breakfast before receiving the new child that was coming into the Willow Creek Orphanage that day. 

But what happened was... a FIRE!! Jane didn't know how it happened, it was all so fast: one minute she was cooking and the other she was on fire! She feared for her life, but was glad the children had already left for school. 

Thankfully, after a bit of a struggle, Jane managed to extinguish the fire. What she couldn't believe was that she didn't own a fire alarm! She had been so caught up with fixing the house for the children that she'd overlooked that very important detail. 

After this scare, she was going to be way more careful. She could have died and the children would have been left alone, all over again. Jane wouldn't have that. She still had so much to offer these children!

Now, with a new sprinkler system in place, Jane could finally relax (and take a shower!) 

The calm was now back to the Willow Creek Orphanage. And, for once, after coming home from school, Xavier actually played with the dollhouse, instead of smashing it. 

That day, the Willow Creek Orphanage welcomed baby Bradly. 

Meanwhile, Jane had gotten a cold. The stress of the day had clearly gotten to her. But it was nothing an orange juice and some rest couldn't fix!

However, on the following day, her illness was getting worse, so Jane had to take some medicine. She couldn't be going around spreading it to the kids. And just like that, her health was fully restored! 

But it had been too late. Little Tiffany had gotten sick as well! She, too, had to take some medicine. Hopefully, no more children would catch Jane's cold. 

But soon after, Xavier was developing symptoms as well. Jane vowed to take better care of her health. She wouldn't want all the children in the Orphanage getting sick at a time, especially as more kids came. 

After a dose of medicine each, the children were back to their normal happy selves, playing around the house! 

The only one that escaped the cold was baby Bradly. When the kids went to school, Jane spent her days taking care of him. He was a sweet baby, as all babies usually are.

Towards the end of the week, another child came into the Orphanage. His name is Antoine and he also has the Social Butterfly aspiration like Tiffany. He has the Squeamish trait. Let's hope fun things happen!

But once again, Xavier wasn't too thrilled to hear about a new child at the Orphanage. He always gets super jealous and sad about a new child coming.

An eventful week ended in style, when baby Bradly grew up! This kid just seems so proper and smart that I gave him the Whiz Kid aspiration and the Genious trait. I foresee great things in his future!

(I can't believe all the kids in this house have black hair!!)

As the Willow Creek Orphanage accepts more children, a packed house is sure to bring a lot of fun and adventures.
