Next Time

To read through the latest posts, start with the one titled: What a Week and work your way up! :-) 

Next post -
  • Hazel throws a birthday party for her father in her new home, as his condition worsens.
  • An unexpected guest arrives at the party.
  • Hazel gets closer to delivering her baby. Will she have to go through labor all alone?

2 Months Later

The police conducted an investigation that night, but ultimately the evidence was inconclusive. Branden had hit his head on the side of the pool, was knocked out, and drowned. He could have been pushed, but he also may have fallen. The authorities knew that Hillary would have more information, but she couldn't be found.

For 2 months, Hazel lived in fear as she grieved for Branden. She was sure that Hillary had pushed him in the pool, and she hoped the police would track her down.

It was at about this time that Hazel became quite sick with some kind of flu. Her sister, Heidi, who was busy pursuing a political career decided to take a few weeks off of work to care for her. The recent murder wasn't helping her reputation in the community anyway. Some time off would do her good.

After 3 weeks of battling what she thought was the stomach flu, Hazel went to the doctor. They had her take a pregnancy test. It was positive.

She was simultaneously filled with joy and sadness. It was Branden's baby, but he wouldn't be able to share in the joys of parenthood with her.

She knew what she had to do. It was time to move, into a home of her own - away from the memories of Branden's death, away from the stresses of seeing her ailing father, Henry. She needed to start a better life for herself and her child.

She moved into a small cottage on the north side of town:

Branden's Departure

Most likely no one will ever really know what happened after Hazel left the house that night. She wandered to the park where she considered handling the situation a number of ways. She thought about calling the police, but mostly she just thought about how she would live her life differently now. She would make the most out of her life with Branden.

When she returned to the house an hour later, she found Branden's body in the pool, and Hillary was gone.

After Hazel's escape, Branden was overcome with passion. He knew that she was the one for him. He apologized for not realizing it sooner. They held each other, kissed, and Hazel felt that she had finally found the love she had been waiting for.

They quickly moved to the bedroom and made love. Hazel had forgotten how angry she was at Hillary until she burst into the bedroom. Hillary, still dressed as Hazel, was shocked to see she had escaped, and could only guess at what had happened while she was out of the house for the evening.

Hazel screamed at Hillary, "How could you do this to me?? To us?? You kidnapped me and kept me away from my boyfriend!! How can YOU be my sister? I hate you!!" Hilary yelled back, "All you think about is yourself!! You never cared about me, so don't pretend you're just hating me now!" Hazel stormed out of the room crying and left Hillary and Branden facing each other.

Hillary's hope for a proposal from Branden soon diminished. He became more aloof, especially as he suspected something was off about the situation.

He also noticed that who he thought was Hazel was spending a lot of time out near the old tool shed. He ventured out there one night and heard what he thought were the sounds of someone moving around in there. He called out, "Who's there?" Hazel yelled back, "Branden?! Is that you??!" Branden quickly helped her escape.

Branden and Hillary

Hillary looked so much like Hazel, it wasn't too difficult to play the part initially. She flirted with Branden, and he was receptive at first. After awhile, though, he began to get tired of Hillary. He began to think that something wasn't quite right about Hazel. He also hadn't seen Hillary in a few weeks. Something wasn't right.

What a Week!

Triplets Hazel (Friendly), Hillary (Evil), and Heidi (Well-Rounded) put in quite the week! Hazel fell head over heels in love with her neighbor Branden. He just wasn't a real lovable guy, though. He was very old fashioned, and it took him awhile to even want to share a Shy Kiss with her. Hazel got pretty frustrated, but she patiently waited for him - even after one date, when she decided to tell him a Flirtatious Joke, and he angrily stormed off, went home, and sulked.

What was with this guy? One night he finally gave in, and they had a little make-out session. It seemed like he was finally taking their relationship seriously, and Hazel began to think that he might propose to her!

Evil Hillary was always watching though, and she decided she had found a way to find a husband for herself. She tricked Hazel into checking out the remodeled tool shed, and locked her in.
