And Then There Were 4 and 5

 

Not long after their wedding JessicaLynn was born after a long labour; the baby was destined to be a virtuoso but insane. Stewie wondered what would come of his little daughter, and he hoped that she would understand his longing for a large long-lasting family. 

 

His parents decided to give Stewie a new bedroom, so that he felt grown up and in the hopes that he wouldn't feel that they'd forgotten him in all of the chaos that their family life now entailed. He was an amazing student and helped out with the baby. Oh speaking of babies... there was another baby on the way...

 

At the very time that Jessica was having her birthday from infant to toddler Pauline went into labour and Liza was born, an excitable athletic girl. Jeremy couldn't have been happier to have his children all around him now. They all still had much growing up to do, but he was confident they'd all be fine...at least he hoped.

 The family was busier than ever now  with Jeremy working on his job skills and Pauline looking after their 3 children. They did have a small gathering for Liza's birthday.

 

Everyone they knew showed up and even a few people they didn't know. The party was epic and was becoming a family tradition. These milestones seemed to reinforce to Stewie that his dreams were coming true...the legacy was happening right before his eyes.

 

Jeremy had a talk with his son one day to discuss the future and to explain why he and Erin hadn't stayed together. Jeremy had worried that Stewie would be resentful but it seemed that Stewie was understanding about the situation. "I know you guys did the best you could for me" Stewie assured him..after all his mom hadn't moved far away and he had both of them to depend on.

The family had 2 birthdays to now celebrate, in true Wolfe fashion...

 

Jeremy reached elder with much fanfare, his family and friends cheering him on.

 

He was eager to continue with his job and hobbies, and the next phase of his life. And he still hoped to get to the moon!

 

 

It was Pauline's turn and she wasn't so sure she wanted to age; the grey hair, the stooped posture and the frumpy clothes! And she'd looked the cutest in her bikini all these years! She just took a deep breath, got the deed done and grabbed a piece of cake. She could go shopping for new clothes tomorrow.

 

Children grow and things change

 

During the worries and confusion of his parents Stewie grew up without anyone noticing much. Jeremy was working hard at his job at the military while Erin had retired to stay at home full time. 

 

The family seemed too busy these days to even notice that plants were growing right through the walls of the house. It was definitely time for some pruning!

 

There was a double celebration when it was time for Stewie's next birthday. He was becoming an older child, and his father was growing into a mature adult. The family decided to have a party.

 

Stewie asked his father to teach him to fish, since he'd added the frugal trait to his personality he wanted to help the family out and save money off of their food bills.

 

The two of them had a great many days fishing, and Jeremy told Stewie bits about his past, explaining it so that a child could understand. Stewie promised his father he'd learn lots and do his best to build on the Wolfe family legacy. He also hoped his father was able to reach his dream of becoming an astronaut and travel in space.

 

One day Jeremy decided to head to his old gym where he'd spent alot of time when first arriving in town. It was a nice place to work out, and also meet new people. He met Pauline Wan, who was also looking for friends in town, not having lived there very long herself.

 

Pauline was a girl with commitment issues, and even though she'd been seeing a guy named Hank on and off for a few months she agreed to leave him to give Stewie a chance. Something about Stewie and his longing for a future to make up for the missing past touched Pauline's heart., Stewie just hoped he knew enough about her to make the right decision, he also asked to see her birth certificate before the wedding this time!

 

They became engaged soon after wards and agreed to a short engagement. Since Jeremy was moving on with his life and Stewie was now a teenager, Erin thought this was a good time to move out....but she wasn't going far.

 

The wedding was held the very next day at Jeremy's home...where they would be a family. All of their family and friends gathered around them they exchanged vows and Jeremy knew this would be forever. He was a bit worried about Pauline's choice of black for her wedding dress, but she definitely didn't believe in superstitions.

The future was there's. 

Is Erin the One?

Jeremy met Erin in the cafeteria at work one day. She was a disciplined woman who had worked hard to move up the military ladder. Erin admired Jeremy's zest for life and even though they hadn't known each other very long she could do much worst. When Jeremy proposed she said yes.

 

Jeremy was suprised but pleased to discover that Erin was pregnant but she also told him she was just days away from old age! He didn't know how to explain to her about his legacy dream, he wanted many children and Erin was too old to produce more than one child. He felt he had made a huge mistake jumping into marriage so quickly.

Erin worked out continually to stay in shape, she also enjoyed learning cooking skills so that the family could use up all of the vegetables that Jeremy was growing.

 

Erin woke up one night realizing that the baby was coming quickly. She didn't even make it to the hospital but everything went fine for both mother and child.

 

 A disciplined but  grumpy baby, he seemed hard to please but both parents tried their best. Erin would even sing to him to make the crying stop! Jeremy tried to bring up the subject of Erin's forthcoming birthday but Erin refused to discuss it.

 

 

Jeremy had their closest friends come over to celebrate the day even though Erin wasn't thrilled about it. They watched Erin become an Elder in frumpy clothes that she vowed to change out of as soon as possible. She wasn't pleased with this aging business and wished everyone would go away.

 

Jeremy told Erin about his past and his hopes for the future. She reminded him that her baby making days were over now. Couldn't he be happy enough with his one child? He had no answer for her so she told him for his long term happiness she would set him free.

 

She asked if she could stay until Stewie was a little bit older. Jeremy agreed to this and wend back to his gardening wondering what would happen to his family dreams now. 

 

And The Legacy Begins

Jeremy was a young man with no past, at least not one that he knew about. He had been orphaned as an infant, found near a burning car with nothing left to identify him or anyone else involved. No one claimed him and his search in later years found nothing. He'd been shuffled from one foster home to another until age 18 when he left to make his own life. He'd taken his name from an old drawing he'd found from his early days; a grey wolf with a caption WOLFE, and with a small inheritance awarded to him by the firefighters who had rescued him, he headed to a mid-western town to start a new life.

Jeremy liked the way Sunset Valley made him feel with lots of green spaces and fishing locations.

 

He very quickly found a piece of land for sale. No house on the property meant he'd be roughing it for a while but Jeremy was resourceful and he soon had a job in the military, working towards his goal of becoming an astronaut.

Jeremy spent most of his time learning skills for his job like working out and fixing things but he relaxed by starting a garden that enabled him to sped lots of time outdoors. It took no time for him to be harvesting the produce to keep his kitchen supplied. Why shop for groceries when you can live on autumn salad and sushi!

Looking around at all that he had accomplished Jeremy wondered if he could find someone to share it with. He had pondered this idea of a huge family with many generations to follow. He called it his legacy, the Wolfe family legacy.
