Ch. 53 - Baby Talk

BABY TALK

A Special Edition of the Strangetown Gazette

Strangetownians, be careful what you drink. There appears to be something in the water supply. There are bellies popping up and babies popping out left and right in this town! Let's review a few:

Alyson and Cooper Olshfski gave birth to a little girl, named Angela. Mother and baby are doing fine. The father is still recuperating. Little Angela has black hair and blue eyes.

(Alyson is the daughter of Hollywood Icon Amelia Howe).

Catherine and Brent Blackhawk have announced their pregnancy. The future Daddy sure does look happy at the news!

Catherine has taken a maternity leave from work but was quoted as saying "I can't wait to get back to beatin' up, *ahem*, I mean catching those no-good rotten criminals". The couple plans to continue to reside at the home of Billy & Sarah Blackhawk.

As much as we were shocked to hear that Roderick Ridgeway got married again so soon after the death of his wife, Kimberly, are any of us shocked to learn that she's pregnant? I doubt it.

Did anyone else notice how much she looks like his first wife, Kimberly? If we, here at the Gazette, didn't know better, we'd think this mad scientist had figured out a way to bring his dead wife back from the grave. Spooky. (Editors Disclaimer: At the time of publishing we did not notice the nekkid shot of Roderick in the background. Do not look at it. Thank you.)

Marie & Simon McAuley are expecting their first child together. Reports say that when Marie found out that the test was positive, she wasn't very happy. Something about how hard it is to take maternity leave from her job. How hard can it be to just stop robbing banks for a while?

Simon is the son of Sarah (Ridgeway McAuley) Blackhawk and the late Quinten McAuley. He is a Diamond Smuggler for the Linguisto Family.

And now for some breaking news from our roving reporter, Liza Jane:

Liza Jane here, on the streets of Strangetown answering your questions and getting the gossip that you want.

So, I was talking to Lilly the other day and...Hey Guys!! WRONG PICTURE!!

(Editors Disclaimer: Our apologies to Ms Lind, but we're keeping that picture in there. Good for ratings.)

Well, it is a cute picture of me. Back to the news at hand...

As I was saying, I was talking to Lilly and she told me that she had been over to see my Uncle Roderick again. Only this time she promises that it was just simple visit to a friend that had recently lost his wife. She consoled him a bit, then left.

I don't believe her.

I have one other piece of info for you too. I was walking past my Uncle Roderick's house the other day when my camera just happened to snap this shot through the window (darndest thing!):

Looks like my cousin Christopher is going to be a father...again. Did you all hear that he had a green alien baby? Good luck with her wardrobe! That child will never be able to wear anything purple! Ha! He's a real chip off the old block there, isn't he? They must have particularly tainted water in that house. Be forewarned ladies!

Liza Jane - out.
(End Liza Jane commentary)

Thank you Liza Jane Lind. So is that what they call it now - "talking"?

Wait wait, what's this? More breaking news! Two more babies have been born!

Catherine and Brent Blackhawk have just had their baby! Their daughter Sage was born at home under the watchful eye of the new father, grandpa Billy and the maid. Little Sage has her father's medium complexion, dark hair and green eyes.

Roderick has had another baby (anyone keeping count?). He and his new wife Aiyana have had a little girl who they named Annalise.

If we know these two, expect to see another one some time very soon.

*We're keeping count! Roderick's kids are:
Christopher - Catherine - Graham - Nicholas - Lily - Stuart - Ian - Todd - Bruce - Jeannie - Tia - Kayla - Layla - Brooke - Roy - Annalise. That's 16, and from the looks of it, # 17 is on the way with Lilly Brown. Whew! *
