Before the "I do's".

Our story starts here; in a cozy five room house.  After saving up some hard earned money Elizabeth and Daniel could finally afford a house. Sure, they could have bought that two room home on the same street as Elizabeth's parent's house. But if you should ever learn one thing from this life story, it will be that Elizabeth disliked... no HATED her parents.Sure, it was not good to hate the people who brought you into the world, but if you knew what they had put her through you would understand.

So her loving boyfriend, Daniel, did the one thing he knew would make her happy. He got her as far as he could from her parents. Of course, Daniel being the rational person didn't go so far as to move to Shang Simla, China. But he did get her the next best thing... Twinbrook. It was a small up and coming town, sure it was no Sunset Valley, but when it was not foggy it was beautiful.

Elizabeth was ecstatic to get away from her mean, evil, and down right vile parents. She was better then ecstatic, she was in love! She met Daniel when she was only sixteen and she knew she was in love... well, she thought. You see she never had loved anything. Well she knew she loved Victoria, in a sisterly manner, of course. But other then that she had never loved a single thing in her life. She did know how ever, that if this emotion that she was feeling was not love then she did not know what love was. And for Daniel, well he loved her from the moment he laid eyes on her.

And so, after staying up one night cuddling, kissing, and well... other stuff. Daniel drove Elizabeth to the beach, he said it was to "watch the sun rise". But when they got there Daniel grabbed her hand and started talking about how he could not live a day without Elizabeth. He said she was so wonderful he did not know what he would do without her. And that led him to.....

Wait for it!

He proposed to her, with a diamond ring and all! Elizabeth was stunned, surprised, and happy that her love of her life had asked her to marry him. So like any rational woman she said, "Of course".

The moment they got home they sat on the couch and the first thing that either of them said was, "Wow! We are getting married!" And all the other one could do to keep the other from ruining the moment was to say "Yes, silly, we love each other with all our hearts. I think that is a pretty good reason to get married."

 

 And so without another word they decided that "Yes, we are getting married!"

A few hours passed and to Elizabeth's sadness Daniel had to leave for work, considering it was Wednesday, and Daniel was trying to fulfill his lifetime wish of  being a World Renowned Brain Surgeon. So off to work Daniel went, and so to did Elizabeth. Of course she had errands to run, that was her version of work.

First on her to-do list: Get her nails done. It had been weeks since Elizabeth had visited her favorite spot in town: Sharma Day Spa. She used to go there daily to get facials, body treatments... the list was endless. She thought that she needed to do so to please Daniel. But one quiet evening Daniel told her that she was the most beautiful girl in the entire world and nothing was going to change that.  Elizabeth decided after that that she didn't need to keep changing herself. And with that no more trips to the spa. But Elizabeth started to miss being pampered, so she decided to get a manicure and pedicure. She had to look good, she was a bride-to-be after all.

Elizabeth went to a little club right around the corner from her favorite restaurant. It was quiet, other then the music, and Elizabeth needed some time to think. But her daydreaming was disrupted by her phone. Elizabeth was... How should I put this? Well known. Of course she was, she knew everyone in town. She was so friendly and had such amazing charisma skills that everyone could simply not resist being friends with her. But she was startled when the voice on the line asked if they were invited to her wedding. She was so surprised that the news was already spreading, and along with the fact that she had no clue who the person calling was that... well, she had to say no.

Next on her agenda was the MAJOR to-do on her list of errands. She had to tell her best friend: Victoria Smith. So she called up Victoria and she agreed to meet at the club. Victoria had been her best friend since childhood. She looked just like Elizabeth, but with larger eyes, fuller lips, and much higher, fuller cheek bones. She was gorgeous, Elizabeth had always been jealous of her for her looks. And little did Elizabeth know, but Victoria was jealous of Elizabeth for her looks also. But either way they were inseparable. Which is exactly why when Elizabeth told her that she was moving away Victoria had no choice, but to move with her. So that leads her here to Twinbrook.

And so Elizabeth sat Victoria down on the green plush chairs and told her the big news: She was getting married. Victoria leaned across the table at the small dimly lit club, put her hand on Elizabeth's in the most comforting matter, and asked the most important question, "Do you love him?". And with that Elizabeth put her other hand on top of Victoria's, looked deep into her best friend's eyes, and matter-of-factly said, "Yes". And within seconds they were onto designing the cake.

After drinking two lattes and designing nearly half of the wedding Elizabeth hugged Victoria goodbye and ran off to her next errand. She was to meet up with the World Renowned Ob. Gyn. She could tell the gender of your child by just a glance, she could even help you give birth to multi-gendered multiples! When Elizabeth met Dr. Blueflame she felt starstruck, which had never happened before. It didn't even happen when she met her favorite Rockstar as a teen... who's name she can not remember. She stuttered over her very practiced greeting as Dr. Blueflame invited her inside.

When she got inside Dr. Blueflame's house Elizabeth saw that she was just a person with normal taste and normal furniture. Elizabeth realized that even though Dr. Blueflame was an extraordinary person, she was still that... just a person. And so Elizabeth mustered up the courage to tell her the one secret that she had been hiding. She looked at Dr. Blueflame and said, "I have secretly wanted for YEARS, since I was five, to be a mother. I learned through the years that it takes a lot to raise a child, it takes something my mother didn't have. I have gone through years of being looked down on and called the 'mess up', all because my parents were mess ups. I want to prove to everyone that has ever laughed at me, or whispered about me, that I am perfect just the way I am. I, Elizabeth Reting, want to take on the 100 baby challenge!" Dr. Blueflame had a look of happiness on her face, not surprise nor shock, but happiness. She just stepped forward and hugged Elizabeth. She then stepped back and with her hands still on Elizabeth's shoulder's said, "Good, I could tell that about you." Elizabeth was the one who looked shocked then. She looked at Dr. Blueflame and simply asked, "What?" Dr. Blueflame laughed and sat down at her table and patted for Elizabeth to take a seat too. As Elizabeth was walking over Dr. Blueflame started to explain, "You see, I can't have children. Which is why I decided to put myself in a profession where I was sure to be around them. I have put so much time and effort into my work that it has become like my baby. I can tell a baby's gender, when the baby will be born, and I can even tell when a woman has a maternal instinct and just how strong that instinct is. And hearing that you want to go and fulfill your maternal instinct and your wish of having 100 or more children makes me so happy I could cry." Elizabeth, who was then sitting at the table, looked at Dr. Blueflame as she would is she were her mother... that was if she loved her mother.

Later, by the time Daniel had started on his way home from work, Elizabeth had already left Dr. Blueflame's house and was just about to put dinner on the table. Compared to Daniel her day had seemed like eating a piece of cake. Daniel had had a rough time at work today, but luckily he had got the promotion he had been looking forward to. No, he wasn't already a World Renowned Brain Surgeon, but he was now a Bed Pan Cleaner.  He, like Elizabeth, realized that he had a while until he met his goals.

Earlier Elizabeth decided a few things on her ride home from Dr. Blueflame's house. 

1. Dr. Blueflame was now like a mother to her, whether she liked it or not. (She liked it.)

2. She doesn't think that she will tell Daniel of her plans for 100 children... yet.

3. She will do, for sure, the 100 Baby Challenge.

4. She will have to tweak the challenge, to fit her lifestyle.
