Chapter 4: Which One is Pink?

Cameron and Lionel left Spider with her parents to enjoy a night out together at one of the local clubs. Cameron was even feeling lucid enough to wear her everyday clothes instead of her swimsuit or formal wear.

The club was nearly empty so the couple was able to enjoy the hot tub in privacy. Well, until the paparazzi followed them out to the patio. As the son of the governor, Lionel is as used to the paparazzi as Cameron, who had been followed around since childhood due to her father's fame as the local architect. Why a town this small needs a team of paparazzi is something of mystery; everyone knows everyone else's personal business without having to read about it in the paper, anyway.

Cameron knows evil when she sees it, and her father-in-law Richie Radan is as evil as they come. She's always liked him because they could openly plot evil schemes together, but her husband hates his father with a passion. So Cameron feels no guilt about using her friendship with the old man to get him to open up about the crimes and misdemeanors he's committed since becoming governor.

She follows up later that night by rummaging through the Radan trash can, and finds more dirt on her father-in-law, all of which goes into her thorough report on the governor. This will definitely get her a promotion, and will please her husband at the same time.

When she tells Lionel about the report in the new hot tub they've added to their backyard, he isn't as delighted as she thought he would be. The reactions of the non-evil can be hard to understand sometimes. But he isn't exactly angry about it either, and a good soak in the bubbles washes away any distress, and puts the couple in a more romantic mood.

Spider becomes a toddler. He's inherited his mother's looks.

Lionel teaches Spider to walk while Cameron files a report on her neighbor's activity.

Lionel's work tends to reflect his daily life. With a toddler and a pregnant wife, his mind is very much on babies. He calls this piece 'The Torture Seat'.

Cameron's second pregnancy results in twin boys, Shadow and Pink.

Risk and Zoe greet their new grandsons.

"Honey, which one is Pink?"

Challenge Notes:

So, that's all three kids for this generation. I rolled the second child as heir, and Shadow is slightly older than Pink, so he's the one. Shadow's two random traits so far are Virtuoso and Clumsy. Pink is Disciplined and also Clumsy. Their father is clumsy, too, so I guess that's a family trait.
