The Life and Times Of Ralf Wylde! Part 37


Over at the peasant village . . .


Everybody was coming back from the wedding. . .
"Did these boys give you any trouble Matthew", asked Ralf.
"No, they behaved themselves", he said.


Jonathan played Punch U-Punch Me with Caleb.


Then he played Punch U-Punch Me with Ralf. Even after all that had happened they still remained best friends.


"Ralf there's something I need to tell you", said Beatrix.
"Well out with it", he said.


"I'm going to have another baby", she whispered.


When Ralf didn't say anything, she tickled him and said "Well aren't you going to say anything?"


"Wonder how THAT happened?", he laughed.


"I was afraid you'd be mad", she said.
"Ain't nothing to be mad about. Childern are a blessing", he said.


A few days later at Castle Dargan . . .


While Gavril was out of the house Lord Vincent was taking advantage of the situation by flirting with the new housekeeper.
"Bridgette has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?", he asked.
"No Lord Vincent they haven't", she giggled.


"How old are you", he asked.
"I just recently became an adult", she said.
"Did you have a special boy in the village you liked?", he asked.
"No Lord Vincent. My father wouldn't allow me to be friendly with boys", she said.


"May I kiss you Bridgette?", he asked.
"Yes Lord Vincent you may", she said.


Then he gave her a romantic kiss.


Bridgette will be only one of many housekeepers Vincent will have in the
centuries ahead.



Over at Willow Creek, Alyson Wylde was in labor with her and Garath's first child.


She delivered a beautiful baby girl with blonde hair like both her parents combined with her mother's dark blue eyes. They named her Phoebe.


Phoebe is the first female baby born in the village since Raulin and Olivia's daughter Sara.


"We have a daughter Garath", said Alyson.


Alyson handed the baby to her mother. Rachael cuddled her grandaughter.


Rachael handed Phoebe to Ralf.
"Here, she's your grandaughter, too", she said.



After putting the baby in her crib, Ralf joined Rachael on the bench.
"Ralf, who would have thought a few years ago that you and I would be sharing a grandchild", said Rachael, "And even more unlikely that I would be grandmother to a child of yours."
"The choices I made do make for some unusual family relationships", he said, But I love all my sons and there's not a one of them I wish I didn't have."
