Generation 7 - Introduction

''CRAP.'' Yeah, that's me... the clumsy Robin Cronwell. Today was the day I moved out of my parents house to live on my own in the big world. Of course I would probably see them everyday but it was going to be quite lonely living in a small house on my own. I could get a dog...?

''Why must I be the clumsy one in the family, why not Lindsey or someone?'' I asked myself while I took of my show to see if I cut my skin; Luckily I didn't but it still hurt.

''Uh... Are you aright Robin?'' Declan asked. I jumped once he spoke because I thought I was alone.

''How long have you been in here?''

''Long enough to see your clumsy side... again.'' He said laughing.

''Oh shut up!'' I said putting my show back on.

''Anyway... I need to tell you something Robin....'' He said with a almost sad look on his face.

''What? Did you get a girl pregnant?'' I said in a joking manner but it didn't make him not a slight happier than  a second ago.

''NO!... But it is about a girl.''

''I...I...'' He buried his head in his hands and sat on a table in front of me.

''What Declan, it's okay I won't laugh or anything, just tell me.''

''Okay. You know Paige right?''

''Oh indeed I do, your bitchy girlfriend.''

''Your just jealous that I ACTUALLY have a girlfriend.''

''Whatever.'' I muttered back.

''Anyway about Paige, you know that she's moving to Bridgeport tomorrow...'' He said.

''Uh... I do now.''

''Well she asked me to come with her and... I said yes.'' He said with a sad tone. So that why he's been weird this past week. How can he be ready to just up and leave like this? What the hell.

''What the hell do you mean your said yes!''

''I said Yes. You and Lindsey both know what you want to do in your life and look at me: I don't have a single clue.''

''And!?''

''Maybe if I go to Bridgeport I'll actually find a job that suites me plus I'll still have a wonderful girlfriend which loves me.''

''Yeah right...'' I muttered. ''So you just going to leave your twin brother all alone? Your TWIN brother!''

''Robin were both 21. I think it's about time we split apart and live our own life's don't you think?''

''But... what about mum? Dad? Lindsey?'' I said hoping to change his mind.

''Their all supporting me in this, they said if that's what I want and need to do, go for it.'' He said. ''You know I ho-''

''Hope I understand!? We may be 21 but were twin brothers, and I'm pretty sure twin brothers are supposed to stay together?'' I said abruptly without any regret.

The looks on my little brothers face easily told me that I hurt his feelings. He actually let out a few tears but stayed strong and continued talking.

''Robin, it's not like we are joined at the hip. We both have separate lives that need to be lived. I'm sorry if your angry at my decision but it's my life and I will live it how I like.''

Suddenly I gathered that my crap persuasion wasn't going to keep Declan from leaving so instead of I began crying and slumped unto my bed in tears.

''FINE! Go to damn Bridgeport! See if I care!'' I said in complete rage. That probably hurt his feeling but I couldn't control my emotions at the point in time. As I continued to cry I realised Declan's point, we're not joined at the hip...

''Declan?'' I asked.

''Ready to take another shot at me are you?'' He said trying to hold his tears in.

''No... I'm sorry. Your right, we're not joined at the hip so why should I hold you back from what you really want to do, For my own selfish self?''

He got up and walked to where I was. I could hear him sniffling his nose quite a few times until he began to speak.

''Listen Robin I know I'm probably the last person you want to speak to right now but I can't leave Twinbrook knowing you hate me.''

''Just picture it: Bridgeport is only a two hour drive from here so I can drive up here every week or so. Also there is a possibility that finding a job in Bridgeport won't actually go well or Paige and I could break up and if that was to happen, I'll be coming straight back.''

''Fine. But just don't forget about me.''

''Do you think I could actually forget about my own TWIN brother?''

''Well...''

''Oh shut up Robin, of course I'm not going to forget you!''

---

An hour later the taxi pulled up outside our house to take Dec;an to the airport. I helped him lug his suitcases down the long staircase into the hallway.

''Well I've got everything I need... so I guess this is goodbye.'' My mum immediately broke into tears and my dad put his arms around her for comfort.

''You better call when you get to your apartment!'' My mum said rubbing the tears off her face with her sleeve.

''Of course mum, In fact I'll Skype you just to be safe.''

''Now Robin don't go and sulk while I'm gone because I'll be back before you know it.''

''I won't bro, take my word for it.''

''Bye everyone, I'll call and Skype you once I arrive.''

I watched Declan as he got into the taxi and waved at me. The Taxi beeped and then drove off unto the motorway.

The day actually came, we've been Split Apart.

Generation 6, Chapter 27 : Their Twenty - one already. Can it be true?

As a few weeks passed by the twins birthday came quicker than I imagined. Also it started to snow fairly heavy in Twinbrook which made things so cold. My plants became dormant and the town simply looked like a thick white blanket.

''Erm Harrison... what are you doing?'' I asked Harrison puzzled at the unknown reason of him standing like that.

''Remember eighteen years ago when the twins were three and Lindsey wasn't born yet?''

''Yes I do.'' I said.

''Remember we used to meditate with them every other week, well since were getting into old age now I thought I'd start mediating again to calm the nerves.''

''Okay. But do you really think meditating will help YOUR old age?'' I asked.

''Maybe, you just never know.'' He said with a grin.

''Mum.''

''Mum?''

''Mum!'' I heard three voices calling out from the hallway.

''Were in here, guys'' I said mixing the thick sticky mixture of my Key Lime Pie.

''Where are the birthday boys!?'' Harrison called out still thinking they were in the hallway.

''Were here!'' Declan called out before opening the door to the kitchen.

''Oh my god mum you'll never guess what happened at school today!'' Lindsey said with a smirk on my face.

''What Linds?''

''The REALLY hot guy in my class was totally checking me out!'' She said. Harrison glared at Lindsey for a second, since she was our only girl and our youngest Harrison went to all measures to keep her safe.

''Who the hell is he?? Does he have a Criminal record? Is he a drug user?'' Harrison asked worryingly.

''DAD! His name is Tony and no, he is really smart and cool. Plus he likes to play the Piano just like me and he likes me!'' She said sighing in delight.

''Aww!! Lindsey has a boyfriend!'' Declan said while laughing.

''Shut up idiot, and he is NOT my boyfriend... yet.'' She said under her breath.

''Good.'' Harrison said.

''SO mum. How have you been today?'' Robin asked. He was always the one to see how I was and how I was feeling ever since a quit my job at the hospital.

''I've been great thank YOU Robin, I just went out to the garden centre and visited your Aunt Nadine and the baby. That's pretty it.''

''Okay.''

Declan seemed quite quiet that day and I was beginning to become a bit worried about him.

''Declan honey, are you aright?''

''I'm fine mum.'' He said looking straight into the window.

''Declan, seriously are you okay bro?'' Robin asked him.

''No. I don't want to grow up, to be honest I'm scared of it.'' He said looking at me.

''Honey.'' I butted in. ''... Don't be. Life must go on. I know your having doubts and so am I, do you really think I want my three little babies to grow up? I really don't but the reality is that you have to.''

''Your right mum, Life must go on. Thank for the advice.'' He said smiling at me.

''Any time Deccy!'' I said winking at him.

 An hour later we ate dinner and talked about out days.

...

''Mum, you know Declan and I both you love you and dad very much. We've been so damn fortunate to be born into a loving and caring family such as ours and we are 100% grateful for that. Mum we LOVE you.''

...

''Woo! Happy Birthday dorks!'' Lindsey shouted out laughing.

''My boys are becoming men...'' Harrison said crying a bit. Although Harrison seemed tough and macho on the outside, he is just a big soft man on the inside.

''Ready?'' Robin asked.

''Ready man!'' Declan cheered out.

''Hip Hip, Hurray!!'' We all cheered out they they both blew out their candles in sync.

....

A week later the boys Graduation came up. I literately now had to look up to them because they were so tall and developed.

Robin and Declan surprisingly still looked like each other even at twenty-one years old. The only things that were different was their hair colour and the face shape, Declan seemed to have my full cheeks whereas Robin's were more like his father.

''Mum are you okay?'' Lindsey asked me in a concerned tone.

''I'm...alright...'' I sniffled.

''Lindsey you mum is a bit sad at the moment. Like most mothers she has been dreading the day her children growing up and twenty-one years later, the day has came.'' Instead of replying I just instead began crying again.

I took out a old picture of the twins when they were just born and a tear drops rubbed against the picture as I remember the days they were so dependent on me and no their just... so independent.

''Mum, you don't have to be sad! Do you actually think were just going to abandon you after twenty-one years?''

''... Maybe?'' I said sniffling.

''Mum your out of your mind!'' Declan said. ''Of course were going to see you often, I can't cook anything so I'll be here every night!'' He said laughing.

''Great! Now that everything sorted why don't we head off to the boys graduations ceremony.'' Harrison said before pulling the car keys out of his pocket.

Since Winter was still settled upon Twinbrook, once we drove up to City Hall is began raining.

Hours later the ceremony had ended. I let out a few tears as I saw my boys go up on stage and graduate, receiving their diplomas. Robin was voted Class Valedictorion and Declan was voted Most popular student of his year.

By time we let the ceremony with all the other proud parents is was dark and I could hardly see my Robin and Declan toss their diplomas in the air.

''Mum; Dad! We did it!'' They both said in sync.

I pulled them both in for a big hug and gave them a big kiss.

''Erm guys... I believe I contributed in your life?'' Harrison said sadly.

''Don't get all emotional dad, get over here!'' Declan called pulling him in for a hug.

''And you to Lindsey!!'' Robin said. We all hugged for about a minuet but then Robin and Declan went off to the side to talk.

''So Declan... what now?'' Harrison, Lindsey and I spied on their conversation so I was able to hear everything they were saying.

''What do you mean 'What now'?

''Like what now? We've graduated, we both have great qualifications... so what now?''

''We live our life's. In a week we'll be moving out and then we have to see from their.'' Declan says.

''Do you have anything in mind you want to do in life?''

''I have a plan... it's just I don't think you, Mum or even Dad will support it...''

''That depends what it is Declan...?''

''Oh you just have to wait and see big brother!'' Declan says sarcastically. Robin is actually only ten minuets older than his twin brother.

''Declan?'' Robin asked.

''Yes?''

''Uh... I love you. Your actually a great brother and a great friend.''

''I love you to big bro!'' Delcan says before pulling him in for a hug.

I begin to cry so much again and they notice that Harrison, Lindsey and I have been spying. They run over to me and comfort me, they could clearly see I didn't want them to go and I was going to miss them. 

My babies are growing up and I just have to face it.

THE END OF GENERATION 6 

I'm so happy I've got another Generation done and dusted of The Cronwell Legacy!

Please Comment...

Thanks, :)

Generation 6, Chapter 26 : Mother don't cry, dry your eyes.

Having three teenagers in the house was quite... interesting.

As Lindsey grew older and older she followed Declan path to the land of games which actually didn't surprise me at all. Robin on the other hand didn't like games but instead was creative. He has a passion for designing blueprints and just a year ago he enrolled into a Architectural University. Declan decided not to go University and instead got a practical job working in a Nursery. With the boys turning twenty-one in a few months they were both excited to leave home and start their own life's.

''Don't you guys think it's time to put down the games and get some fresh air?'' I asked them in a worried tone.

''I've been telling them that for half an hour now.'' Robin said before sighing.

Robin jumped up in excitement and peered out the window.

''Guys! GUYS! It's snowing!!'' He said in excitement.

Lindsey took her eyes off of the game for a minuet and replied to Robin. ''Urm Robin aren't you like... twenty? Shouldn't you be thinking about establishing a career instead of making a snowman?''

''For you information mum once told me 'An adult can be a kid at heart.' so don't be telling me what to do and what not to do missy.''

''Okay Robin, calm your man parts!'' She said laughing. Declan dropped the pad and dropped to the floor in laughter while I comforted Robin.

''Lindsey! That's a really rude thing to say to your OLDER brother.''

''Sorry OLDER brother she replied in a rude tone.'' I can honestly say even with two twenty year old's and a 16 year old in the house there are still petty arguments in the house.

''Hey mum! Can you check how cold it is outside?''

''Can't you checked the weather?'' I said back to her.

''Yeah but... going outside and checking the temperature for yourself is more accurate.''

''Fine.'' I was going to grab my coat but it was upstairs so I just went outside in my dress.

CLICK. The door buckled shut and Declan and Lindsey began laughing out loud.

I was tricked.

''Lindsey Maria Cronwell open this door right now!'' I demanded holding all parts of my body in absolute chill.

''I'll open it.'' Harrison said.

''MUM!'' Robin said running out of the door and handing me a blanket.

''Are you aright? Are you cold?'' He asked me.

''I'm fine luv, thank you. At least I have ONE child to rely on.'' I hugged Robin and we went back in.

To warm myself and house up I lit the fireplace which had been recently installed.

''Ahh, this will make the house nice and warm.''

Declan let out a small laugh while I turned around to warm my bottom. Lindsey on the other hand wasn't amused at all.

''Dad. Can you tell mum to act like a civilized woman please?'' She said with a strict tone on her voice.

''Sure, right after you apologize for locking her out the house.'' Harrison replied with a smirk. I could always reply on Harrison with a battle against out kids.

''FINE. I am so sorry mummy for locking you out the house. Now can you please NOT warm your butt.''

I turned around a winked at her and she laughed back at me.

~^~

''Cassidy; Harrison; Is anybody here?'' I heard a familiar voice call from the hallway and quickly noticed it as my mother.

''Hold on mum.''

''How are you mum? Are you getting lonely again because you can always stay with us.''

''I'm fine honey but yes, I am a bit lo-'' She broke into tears, again.

Ever since my father died two years ago my mum fell into deep depression again. She kept on telling me all she wanted was to just see him one more time, just for the old time sake.

She ran into the living room to hide her sadness.

''Oh mum.'' I sighed following her into the living room.

''Mum please don't do this again, please just talk to me.''

''You don't understand Cassidy... I just miss him so much...'' She said sobbing into a pillow.

''I know you do but life must go on.'' I knelt down and hugged her.

''Mum, would you like to visit his grave again?''

''Yes honey, I really do.''

''Come on then, I'll just go get my coat.''

~^~

We travelled all the way across town to the private cemetery where we buried him.

''Were here.''

As soon as we walked up to his grave my mum began crying in my arms.

''Cassidy we did god have to take him from me? We were so happy.''

''Mother, sometimes god does things that we never actually know why but trust me, it's all for a purpose.''

''I can't handle this any more, I need to be with him.''

''Mu-''

She ran up to his grave and laid next to it. I could hear her muttering something while she was crying in the snow.

''Alex just you wait for me, we'll be together again soon...''

I began crying myself and knelt unto her in the thick white snow.

''Oh mum, I know you miss dad so much but trust me, you'll get over it and one day you'll be with him in the great beyond.''

''I know honey, I know.'' She said to me. Before she could cry I pulled her in for a well needed hug.

While I was still comforting her I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.

WHERE R U & MUM? The text read from Kieran.

DAD'S GRAVE, PLEASE COME HERE & PICK UP MUM, SHE REALLY NEEDS US RIGHT NOW.

Kieran got here just a few minuets later and looked at mum who was still in distress.

''Mum.''

''Kieran.'' She said.

We all began crying and hugged each other. All my mum needed right now was to be surrounded by the people who she loved most, her family.

Kieran constantly whispered into her ears,

''Mother don't cry, dry your eyes.''
