Carrying on the Legacy: Anastasia Acapella's 100 Baby Challenge (79/100)

Info:

Hello! I've been quite stressed with the Apocalypse Challenge lately so I thought I'd write a story about my ongoing 100 Baby Challenge. The second matriarch is a child, which made a perfect place to pick up a story.

Prolouge: Anya's Mom Has Got it Going on


Brooklyn: I'm not sure to start one of these stories, but I think I should start by introducing myself.
I'm Brooklyn Acapella, mother of 79.



Yes, that's right. I've been alive for a long time, but I've recently turned into an elder and am ready to pass this journey onto my youngest daughter, Anastasia.



I worked as a writer for most of my life (I'm retired now), but Anastasia (we call her "Anya") has shared with me that she's going to be looking towards a different career path. However, while I've been writing mom-help books about my experiences in childbearing, our Watcher, dovey, has proposed us with a different idea: she wants Anya to narratively document her story.

dovey: she won't be alone, I'll help her out.

Brooklyn: You've always documented our story on tumblr, though. Won't it be hard to switch?

dovey: it's alright.

Brooklyn: If you're okay with it, so am I. There's no better time for a switch than now.
Well, I suppose I should start off by introducing my family.
Here are the youngest three, they are triplets. Anya is #77, Archer is #78, and Aeolus is #79.



dovey: Aeolus is named after the Greek wind god.

Brooklyn: Haha, well that will give you a preview of dovey's… unconventional naming methods.
These blondes take after their father, Leo. He's my (now) forever husband and I'll be moving in with him when Anya comes of age.





We met when were teens and had somewhat of an extended fling, but we both had different ideas for how we wanted to live our lives. Through the years, I myself raised many, many children while Leo traveled the world and accomplished many personal goals. But now, my only goal is to finish up my portion of this challenge and live peacefully with him.



I should also probably mention the pair just older than the triplets. Here's Aria (#74) and Aurora (#75/76).



Aurora is a werewolf, and she actually turned during my wedding. Not a moment of peace in this family, I tell ya.





If you're wondering about the A names, dovey says she wants A-Z kids.

dovey: Anya covers "A", so we'll have 25 letters for 21 kids. We're going to skip Q, X, U and possibly Z (depending on if we have 101 kids or 100).

Brooklyn: Darling, what do you think?

Anya: I'm pretty excited! This makes me more important than everyone else, right?

Brooklyn: *chuckles* Yes, of course.

Anya: For now, I just need to work on my mental skill so I can age up.



Brooklyn: Chess is good for the soul, darling.

dovey: chess... *shudders*

Wednesday

Brooklyn: working on some yoga as I wait for the trips to come home from school. It's all I can do much in my old age, but it's nice to have goals.



It's very calm around the house with no toddlers. I bake tons of treats for the kids and they spend their free time watching tv or playing games.

Thursday/Friday

Brooklyn: Leo surprised me with two tickets to a yoga class in Newcrest! While the kids were at school we took the train to the suburban areas. It is a wonderful town, but I still prefer the countryside where I am raising my kids currently.



On the way home, I get the message that my kids have all received A's in school! They age up to teens and I help them out with their homework (but Anya has priority).





For their skills, Anya does painting,


Archer dances,


and Aeolus quickly reaches Fitness Lvl 4. (He tells me that he is against shirts.)



The three of them easily come home with A's the next day.





Anya: Now I get to go out in the world and make a life for myself. I'm hyped!

notes from dovey's drafts:

Anya's name has no correlation from Anya from Spy x Family (she's actually directly named after someone in my science class, lol) but I always think of SxF Anya when I write these xD

LylithApo hasn't been going on for that long, but I hope this is more coherent than that. 100BC is also an unconventially paced challenge, so I'll be possibly finding my footing for the next few posts. Especially because I'm telling a story that has been already ongoing for a while, there are some inside jokes and references that may appear but I don't know. (Ex - Anya's child hair is a conversion of a hair that Brooklyn had for a very long time)

We call it "A100BC" Acapella100BabyChallenge.
