''How about the Matrix? I'm sure that has action.'' Anastasia said.

"Never heard of it." He commented

''The Matrix, with Neo I believe. It is a story in which the ''real'' world, our world is but a simulation of the true real world.'' Anastasia said.

"Nope, I've never heard of it." He replied, "But sounds kind of interesting."

''Would you like to play it?'' Anastasia asked. ''Then I can show you what it is about.''

"Sure." He replied

''Sara, I was wondering about asking you this. I am nervous but I will ask you. What do you think of...having a child?'' Martin said, nervously.

Anastasia started the game and played with Ryan. ''The Matrix stunts are from this story.''

"Why do you ask, and I've already had a child." She added with a hint of tease.

"Ah, well they're funny." He commented

''Yes, they are funny.'' Anastasia said.

''I was only wondering if you wanted to.'' Martin said.

"Actually I've never thought about it." She replied, "I had Ryan, and now I have a daughter as well, thought a third child might be nice."

Ryan continued to have his character do funny stuff.

OOC-Would you like them to have a third child?

''A third child would be nice indeed. We can show him or her our love, as we have done for Katherine and Ryan.'' Martin said, before kissing her and pulling her down.....

Anastasia laughed and said ''Ryan, you will be a comedian one day!''

Sara let herself be pulled down into her husband's embrace, but then began tickling him.

"Why do you think that?" He asked

ooc: Never considered it.

OOC-Would you like one? Making sure.

IC-Martin tickled Sara as he kissed her.

''You are funny and silly.'' Anastasia said smiling.

Sara and Martin continued the kissing tickle fight.

"And that'd make me a good comedian?" Ryan asked

ooc: Possibly

Martin pulled Sara down and he started....

''I guess so. You are a silly kid.'' Anastasia said.

OOC-If you want to, we could.

"Well you're pretty silly as well." He replied

ooc: Sure

OOC-Later on we will do so.

Anastasia patted him on the head and embraced him before saying ''Ryan, want to go to the city?''

"And do what?" He asked

''Go explore the city, of course! We can see the sights and all other things!'' Anastasia said.

bump

"That sounds interesting." Ryan replied

Anastasia and Ryan went out and headed to the city of Zwlingistadt. Anastasia bought Ryan an ice cream cone and walked with him through the city. They had a fun time together. Anastasia walked past Katherine's school and said ''Has Katherine shown you her school?'' She continued to walk with Ryan. ''Ryan, do you like animals? The zoo is open if you want to go.''

''Are you thinking what I am thinking?'' Martin asked Sara with a grin.

"Do they have any polar bears?" He asked

"I don't know, what are you thinking?" She replied with a smile in her eye and an innocent look on her face.

''Of course, they do. They have many animals.'' she replied.

Martin smiled at Sara. He came to her and kissed her. ''That is what I want to do.''

"Then let's go." He said

Sara smiled, and commented "Then have at it." She said as she launched a furious kissing attack at him.

OOC-They will have a third child after they are done.

Martin continued with a kissing blitzkrieg and the following actions....

Anastasia took Ryan to the zoo. She bought him some things, like a polar bear hat. She took him to the polar bears and gave him a fish. ''Throw it to the polar bear like this!'' Anastasia said, throwing one to a polar bear.

''Sara, have you packed for the honeymoon?''

"Yes, have you?" She asked

Ryan smiled at the hat, and tossed the bear the fish.

ooc: Nine months later

The bear caught the fish and Anastasia gave Ryan a pat on the back. ''Nice job.'' Anastasia said before taking him to see other animals, like monkeys, tigers and elephants.

''I have done so. Also, let's have another child.'' he said as he continued....

OOC-NS or RL time?

Ryan was happy that they were touring the zoo.

ooc: NS, RL would take far too much time.

Anastasia then said ''Ryan, want a ride on one of the horses or camels?''

OOC-Sure. When shall 9 months in NS time end? Making sure.

"A camel would be interesting." Ryan replied

ooc: Depends how long this Rp will continue. If it's going to end at the end of honeymoon, then much later, if not, not.

OOC-We could end it after the third child and honeymoon. Also, I am going to start a RP of Phillip looking for a life partner. Can Sara and Ryan perhaps get involved? You can RP them if you want.

Anastasia took Ryan to a camel and helped him on it. ''Make sure you don't fall off!'' she said as she got on a horse. ''Ryan, later on, I have a surprise for you.''

"What?" He asked intrigued as he worked on keeping his balance, something far easier said than done.

ooc: How would they get involved?
Also you want it to continue for another nine months?

OOC-They would get involved by talking to the suitor or suitors of the nations interested and so on, I guess. Also, we can do this for 9 more months too.

''I have a surprise for you. You will like it.'' Anastasia said, riding next to him on her horse. ''Ryan, how do you like it at the zoo?''

"It's fine, why?" He asked

''You will see soon.'' Anastasia said. She took him and said ''Ryan, close your eyes.'' Some time later, Anastasia said ''Open them!'' When he opened, he was riding an elephant.

"Neat." Ryan commented

''How do you like it?'' Anastasia said. ''This is my surprise for you.''

"It's neat." He replied with a smile.

''That's good.'' Anastasia said. ''Afterwards, I'll take through more of the city. Would you want to do that?''

"Perhaps we could go visit Katherine and watch a movie with her." He suggested

''After the elephant ride, we will see her.'' Anastasia said.

''Sara, you should check a doctor, in case of you know.'' Martin said.

"Thank you." Ryan replied

"It's only been a few days, these things don't happen that fast." Sara replied

''I meant some time you should.'' said Martin.

''You are welcome.'' When they got back home, Katherine and Anastasia were with Ryan in the living room. ''What kind of movie do you want to see?'' Anastasia asked Ryan.

"What kind do you want to watch?" He asked back.

"Probably." She agreed

''How about a comedy?'' Anastasia said.

''When you do go, tell me what the results were.'' Martin said.

"That'll be good." He replied

"Of course." Sara replied

''How about Shrek?'' Katherine said.

''That is good. The honeymoon is also tomorrow.'' Martin said.

"The first or second?" He asked

"Good." Sara replied

''Which one do you like?'' Anastasia asked.

''It is to Venice and other places.'' Martin said, thinking of himself with Sara on a gondola.

"How about both, one after the other?" He suggested

"The sinking city." Sara replied

''Sure!'' Katherine said. Anastasia put the movie, Shrek in and sat down with the others. ''Ryan, I like you. You are a nice kid.'' Anastasia said, giving him a kiss before she went to get some snacks.

''Who knows, we could drown there!'' Martin said, joking around with Sara.

Ryan blushed as he looked at Katherine and asked, "How've you been while Anastasia's been showing me the town?"

"Maybe, I've lost more husbands that way." She replied teasing him back.

''I have been good. Phillip and me watched a show on pirates while you were gone.'' Katherine said. Anastasia came back and said ''Ryan, you are blushing again. Pretty soon you'll blush yourself out!'' She set down the snacks and they watched the movie.

''You are funny. Perhaps you'll consider the comedy career?'' Martin said.

OOC-I made a thread of Phillip looking for a wife. He is meeting someone now. If you want to join in, please do. I want to have Martin and the others in it somehow if possible. If you don't want to, I understand.

"What kind of pirates?" Ryan asked as Anastasia returned.

"Maybe." Sara replied with a smile.

ooc: Link?

OOC-http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=479114

''Many pirates. We also watched Pirates of the Caribbean too.'' Katherine said.

''That's a good movie for later.'' Anastasia said.

Martin kissed Sara and said ''Want to go out for a while?''

"That'd be good." Ryan agreed

"Sure, do you have a destination in mind or just a walk?" She asked

''After Shrek then we will see it.'' Anastasia said before flicking Ryan's head.

''A walk would be good. Are you still hurt from the jousting by the way?'' Martin said.

"What was that for?" He asked as he looked at her.

"Only slightly tender where you hit me." She replied

ooc: Not sure how to bring Ryan/Sara in to other.

OOC-Never mind. I have a idea.

''Just playing.'' Anastasia said. Phillip went to see Martin and Sara and said ''I have an announcement to make.'' He told the kids and they were all in the living room.

''My announcement is that I am meeting a woman from Tarayshia. If I do things right, we could be married. So, I must say that I will be leaving. I would like Anastasia to come with me as well, so she could meet the woman from Tarayshia too. I hope that you all understand. I will be gone for some time. Also, I left a delicious surprise for you all in the kitchen.'' Phillip said.

Anastasia looked at Ryan and Katherine and said ''I guess I'll be going now. I hope to see you two again.'' She looked at Ryan and said ''Good bye, Ryan. You have been a awesome kid to hang around with.'' Anastasia gave him a kiss and a noogie and then left with Phillip.

Phillip's surprise was a chocolate Taj Mahal and other things. Also, he had models of Ryan, Katherine, Martin and Sara on the cake.

"I hope she's as good a match for you as Martin is for me." Sara said

"Bye Anastasia, and thanks for the fun." Ryan replied with a final blush and 'getoff' at her noogie.

''Thanks for saying that, Sara. I enjoyed meeting you and Ryan.'' Phillip said.

''Katherine, make sure Ryan does not blush himself out'' Anastasia said and with this, they left.

''Sara, why don't we go out somewhere with the kids?'' Martin said.

Sara chuckled at Anastasia's quip and suggested, "How about a resturant?"

''Excellent idea, I was thinking of something similar. How about a Ethiopian restaurant?'' Martin said.

"Sounds like it'd be good, never had Ethiopian food before." Sara replied

Martin said ''It is a new experience.'' He took the family to a restaurant with Ethiopian looks to it. They sat down on mats in front of a single table and some waiters brought some different Ethiopian foods like Injera or Teff. Telba (Ethiopian flaxseed beverage), Tej (Honey Wine), and others were served. It was a new experience for Sara and Ryan, Katherine and Martin liked the food.

Katherine leaned to Ryan and whispered ''Ryan, want to stay up late tonight?''

''How do you two like the food?'' Martin asked Ryan and Sara.

Photos of Ethiopian food, all of these Sara and the others will try.

Recipes for some of the food served.

OOC-Use the two links and the website ethiopianrestaurant.com for info on Ethiopian food.

"It's wierd." Ryan replied
"Different at least." Sara agreed

''I'm sure you'll like it.'' Martin said. ''Ryan, come sit next to me. We can talk together.'' Katherine said.

"Sure." Ryan replied as he scooched his chair over to his sister.

"I'm sure I'll like some of it at least." She agreed

"Sure." Ryan replied as he scooched his chair over to his sister.

"I'm sure I'll like some of it at least." She agreed

OOC-After they go to bed, do you want to fast forward to the honeymoon?

''Let's dig in! The food is here!'' Katherine said, eating the food. ''Thanks for going to sit with me.'' Katherine said to Ryan. ''Ryan, let's stay up tonight.'' Katherine whispered.

''Sara, in our honeymoon, I have a lot of things planned.'' Martin said.

"Why wouldn't I do what my sister asked?" Ryan inquired with a slightly teasing smile, "And sure."

"Oh, like what?" Sara asked as she took some of the food and began eating

ooc: Sure

"Why wouldn't I do what my sister asked?" Ryan inquired with a slightly teasing smile, "And sure."

"Oh, like what?" Sara asked as she took some of the food and began eating

ooc: Sure

''Thanks, Ryan.'' Katherine said, embracing him for a bit. ''You'll see soon.'' Sara said.

When they got home, Martin said ''Let's watch a movie together.''

"What movie do you suggest?" Sara asked

ooc: Don't you mean Martin, not Sara

"What movie do you suggest?" Sara asked

ooc: Don't you mean Martin, not Sara

OOC-My mistake. Sorry, I was in a rush.

''How about the one about Lemony Snicket?'' Katherine said. ''That would be an ok one to see.'' Martin said.

"That sounds like it'd be good." Ryan said

"Shall we get some popcorn?" Sara asked Martin.

''It is the film adaptation of Lemony Snicket's books. The ones with Violet, Klaus and Sonny in them.'' Martin said. Martin looked to Sara and said ''Sure, let's get popcorn and other snacks.''

Katherine came to Ryan and held him, wanting to cuddle or something with her brother.

It seemed this family would be a happy one, of course it would be.

"Never heard of it actually." Sara replied as they began whipping up the consumables.

Ryan gave Katherine a hug as she scooted over to be beside him.

OOC-After the honeymoon, we can end this if you want.

Katherine hugged Ryan back and then she cuddled with him. Martin and Sara came back and they watched the movie which they all found interesting.

After the movie, it was dark and Katherine looked at Sara and asked ''Is it time to go to bed?'' She did want to stay up but would listen to her parents.

"What's your bed time?" Sara asked in response to Katherine's question.

ooc: Sure

OOC-Ok then. After, we can bring Sara and Ryan into the Phillip one, if you want.

''Around 10 PM.'' Katherine said. ''Sometimes, as a treat, I let her stay up.'' Martin added.

"Would you say she's been good enought for a treat?" Sara asked in a lightly teasing voice.

ooc: Sure, and sorry about not replying earlier(missed the thread).

OOC-It's good with me and I understand. Apology accepted.

''Of course she has.'' Martin said in a similar voice. ''When is Ryan's bedtime?'' Katherine asked while holding Ryan.

"About the same as you, usually between nine-thirty and ten, depending on programming, occasionally later. And since Martin say's you've been good, we'll give both of you an extension of your bedtime." Sara replied

"About the same as you, usually between nine-thirty and ten, depending on programming, occasionally later. And since Martin say's you've been good, we'll give both of you an extension of your bedtime." Sara replied

Katherine was excited and embraced Sara. ''Thank you, mother!'' she said before going back to Ryan. Martin held Sara with him as the movie went on. After the movie, Martin flipped through the channels for a while before saying ''Sara, have you heard of the Simpsons?''

OOC-Thought I would add something to this, hence the Simpsons.

"Do you mean the tv show, or the sisters?" Sara asked

"Do you mean the tv show, or the sisters?" Sara asked

''The tv show. It is on right now if you want to see it.'' Martin replied.

"Then sure." Sara replied as she snuggled up to her husband.

Martin turned the Simpsons on, Sara snuggling with him and Katherine snuggling up with Ryan. After the show, Martin whispered ''Is it time for the kids' bed. Look.'' Katherine and Ryan were snuggled together, sleeping soundly.

"Looks that way. Should we let them sleep here or take them to bed?" She asked

"Looks that way. Should we let them sleep here or take them to bed?" She asked

''Let them sleep here. They look peaceful here.'' Martin said. ''Let's watch TV in our room.'' he added.

"Alright." She replied with a smile as they got up, but before she and Martin headed to thier room, she took a blanked off the couch and laided it gently over the kids.

Martin kissed Katherine and Ryan and then he went with Sara. After they got to their room, Martin said ''Sara, want to watch a movie with me?''

"What movie did you have in mind?" She asked as they began to get ready to get in bed.

As they changed for bed, Martin said ''I was thinking of a romantic movie, I thought you would like to see one, women like romantic movies.''

"Most women, I only like them on the rare occasion, but if you like them, we can watch one." Sara replied

''I did not say I wanted to watch one, I wanted to know if you wanted to. Perhaps we can watch the movie, Hero? It is based in Ancient China.'' Martin said.

"Never heard of it but sure." Sara replied

Martin snuggled with Sara in the bed as they watched the movie. After the movie, Martin said ''Are you tired, Sara? Making sure that you are or not.''

OOC- After the honeymoon, I'll do an epilogue or something which will talk about things like their third child.

"A little." She confessed

ooc: Sure

OOC-Thanks.

''Do you want to sleep or can you still stay up? Perhaps we could... you know.'' Martin said, with a grin and a kiss.

"Is that all you think about?" She asked with a chuckle as she leaned over and kissed him.

''No its not. I don't think of you as an object, etc. I respect you and love you always.'' Martin said. After some time of ''knowing each other'', they went to sleep, Martin excited about the honeymoon.

OOC-Just have Sara wake up in the morning and they'll go on their honeymoon.

Some hours later, Sara woke up with a yawn as she looked over at Martin as he slept, she curled up and went back to sleep.

Martin saw Sara and said ''Today's our honeymoon!'' Martin and Sara got changed and had breakfast with the kids. Later on, Martin and Sara got ready to leave, Martin hired a babysitter (in fact a family friend) to watch the kids.

Martin and Sara went on the plane and would arrive in Venice soon.

OOC-The honeymoon will be good but not too long.

"So do you have plans or are we going to wing it?" She asked as the steward/ess came down the aisle bringing the meal.

''We can do both if you want.'' Martin said in reply as they took their meal.

"Ah." Sara replied with a smile as she ate.

OOC-Sorry for my lateness.

They watched the in-flight movie, which was on Constantinople. Then, their flight continued onward.

When they got to Venice, Martin helped Sara out of the plane and took her to an expensive hotel. ''Sara, would you like a walk around Venice?'' Martin asked.

"What, no gondala ride?" Sara asked in mock protest.

"What, no gondala ride?" Sara asked in mock protest.

''How did you know what I was going to do with you tonight?'' Martin said politely. ''Yes, there will be rides on gondalas.''

Sara chuckled, "Let's go on that walk then."

Sara chuckled, "Let's go on that walk then."

OOC-VERY SORRY for my lateness, very busy and other things.

Martin nodded and they went through their walk. After their walk, Martin said ''Sara, are you hungry? Would you like to go to a restaurant? I have some things on our agenda today.''

"That sounds like a good idea, the walk has made me hungry." Sara agreed

ooc: Np

"That sounds like a good idea, the walk has made me hungry." Sara agreed

ooc: Np

OOC-Thanks. Also, would you like to fast forward to the end, I don't think I can finish the honeymoon, I am with many burdens.

OOC-Thanks. Also, would you like to fast forward to the end, I don't think I can finish the honeymoon, I am with many burdens.
ooc: Sure

ooc: Sure

The honeymoon was fantastic in Venice. During the honeymoon, Sara had found out she was with child. She gave birth 9 months later to two twins, Violet and (you can pick the name for the boy). Sara and Ryan lived together in Zwinglistadt with their 4 children.

Martin loved Sara with all his heart and vice versa.

OOC-Is this too short for an epilogue?

ooc: No it's good, and make it James for the name

ooc: No it's good, and make it James for the name

Sara and Martin agreed on the name James for their new son and I thank you for complimenting it.
