Noelle Six

Staring up at the enormous glowing castle before her Gemma tried not to laugh, this had to be a joke. Sure she was meeting one of the most influential vampires in their nation but this was just cliche. Of course Fall's latest job had meant her traveling to Bridgeport to rub elbows with Beau Merrick.

She sighed to herself and pushed herself forward toward the doors fully expecting a Dracula wannabe behind the doors. She knocked softly and held her breath. The man that opened the door wasn't what she was expecting. He was fairly normal looking and she couldn't help but appreciate his looks. 

"You must be Gemma." He said in a deep yet mesmerizing voice.

"Um... yeah that's me." She said awkwardly. 

"I'm Rohan, my father has been expecting you..." He said looking her up and down she ignored the tingling sensation that ran through her as he stared. "Unfortunately some business has called him away for the time being so you'll have to meet with my mother." He finally finished. 

"Gemma this is my mother Evelyn." He said after leading her into an equally cliche sitting room. The woman in front of her wasn't what she had expected for the wife of Beau. Sure she had the right look with her dark get-up but there was a certain air of kindness around her that, from everything she'd been told about the Merrick family didn't possess.

"I see you finally made it. How was your trip?" She asked in a smooth voice.

"Oh..um.. it was good." Gemma stumbled taken aback by the pleasantries. 

"Well as I am sure Rohan has told you Beau is out for the evening but he will be back in a couple of days to meet with you." She smiled. "In the meantime Rohan will keep you company and show you around town." Looking over at Rohan she couldn't tell if he is annoyed by this news or not but deciding that getting close to the son would impress her father she decided to take the offer.

"That'd be lovely." She smiled. Not to mention budding up to Rohan may help her practice for Duncon. 

"Here's your room." Rohan told her as he led her into a green lite room.

"No red huh?" She chuckled. 

"One of the only rooms that's not actually." He sighed. "Well I have a party to make an appearance at tomorrow night if you'd like to join me?"

"Sounds like a good time."

"I wouldn't expect much its my sister's mothers party and she's quite a bore. But father likes an eye kept on her so I have to drop in from time to time."

"Poor you." She said tilting her head.

"Indeed." He smiled. "Have a good night Gemma." 

It turned out he hadn't lied about the party after all. They had spent the day together exploring the town and having lunch at the bistro before heading to Bianca's house party which turned out to be two other people and her roommates. Gemma didn't care though Rohan was great company and they had a lot in common so they got along fantastically. 

"Want to get out of here?" He asked finding her on the couch.

"Sure." 

After some club hopping they finally found themselves a good spot at the grind and spent some time dancing and flirting. Gemma was surprised by the amount of butterflies she was getting and chose to believe they were from the drinks they'd had earlier that night and not that she actually liked Rohan.

It was well into the night when Gemma  found herself in his arms being kissed like nothing she had ever experienced. She ignored the nagging voices in the back of her head telling her to be careful and guard her heart as she agreed to head back to the castle with him.

A/N

Well... I don't hate it. I know I didn't really get into what Gemma is doing in Bridgeport but that comes when she meets Beau which will happen next chapter. Also this is only a few days after Noelle's trip to Bridgeport so don't be surprised if you see someone you recognize soon ;). Speaking of Noelle... these next couple chapters will probably be a bit Gemma heavy but I promise I haven't forgotten her! In fact this all will have some interesting developments for her. Anyways that's all for now. I will be trying to update weekly but sometimes motivation hits for my other projects before this one. :'/ I have plans though!!! 

Speaking of other projects I have started blogging yet another legacy... this one isn't a random legacy however its just a regular ten gen for fun. If you are interested you can find it here. As always thanks for reading =) 

Noelle: Five

Even though barely a toddler Shane was already showing signs that he'd be using cuteness to his advantage. Adrianna rolled her eyes as she scooped him up and changed him into his pjs. "Your momma is gonna have a real ladies man on her hands isn't she?" She asked him with a chuckle.

"Momma home?" He asked hopefully.

"No kiddo Momma will be home in a few hours but you and your brother will be sleeping by then." At least she could hope they'd both be asleep. These days it seemed like when one would finally doze off the other would be fussing. 

"Well how is the assignment?" Fall asked skipping right to business as usual. It was becoming more and more obvious to Gemma that their days of family bonding were over and their relationship was simply business. Of course as a girl who thirsted for fatherly affection she had been pushing those realizations to the back of her mind but they were only getting louder these days. 

"It's going well I've only met up with him a couple of times but we have a solid friendship building." She said and couldn't help but notice the dissatisfied look that crossed his features.

"Maybe I should have been more clear with my directions. I don't want you to just be his friend Gemma I need him to fall for you once he does that he'll trust you completely and he will be in the palm of my hand."

"You want me to date him?" She asked a bit shocked. Although when she thought about it a request like this really shouldn't surprise her. 

"Yes." He said simply like it was the easiest thing in the world. 

"You know I have a boyfriend..."

"Yes that mortal boy... keep him or toss him to the side I don't care just get close to Mr. Frye." Gemma jammed this latest statement to the back of her mind with all the others and nodded her agreement.

"Now we need to talk about your... look..." He sighed looking her up and down. She frowned at him now she had to change her looks to please him? "Oh don't look at me like that. You still dress like you are fresh out of high school and if you are going to bed the next mayor you have to grow up a bit."

"BED HIM?" She choked.

"How else will he fall for you?" He asked simply and she fought the urge to punch him. 

"Anyway I have friend at the salon who will take care of you." He said with an air of finality. 

"Ok." She agreed knowing there was no getting around it.

"Now I have other business to discuss with you regarding another job." Abrupt subject changes were always his strong suit she shook her head and pulled out the chair behind her.

The last thing Noelle had done before leaving Bridgeport was chop off her hair. She still wasn't sure what had possessed her into a drastic change but she loved her new look and couldn't help but stare at herself while pulling out her pjs.

"Well I see I wasn't the only one feeling a change today." Gemma called out from the doorway as Noelle jumped on the bed. 

"Look at you hot momma." She said with a long yawn.

"Now now Elle the only hot Momma here is you." She teased. 

"Oh come now you know your jealous." Noelle teased back.

"They are quite adorable but I don't think I'm ready for diapers just yet." She laughed and sauntered across the room plopping down on the bed. 

"So how was Bridgeport?" 

"It was...fine." Noelle frowned. 

"Fine? All that time with Jude and it was just fine?" Gemma raised an eyebrow.

"I spent more time with Boyce then Jude." 

"Boyce?" Gemma question getting an involuntary image from her sister's mind, whoever he was Noelle thought he was hot.

"He's Paisly's brother." She said failing to sound nonchalant.

"I see. So why did you spend so much time with him?" Noelle went on to detail her trip and how Jude was constantly accosted by fans and ignoring her.

Once she was done recounting the story she sighed and laid back and Gemma followed suit a moment later. "Well I don't know what to tell you hun, maybe it will be better when the tour is over and he comes home." She told her after thinking for a bit.

"And if not?"

"Then dump his ass you don't need him." Gemma said without skipping a beat. "And if that's not enough I can always make him disappear." She added with a wink and they both burst into laughter.

"Hopefully it wont come to that."

A/N

Its back!! So I have finally got my save back... however it did come with a few minor issues. For starters I apparently didn't create a back up of the save after the boys aged into toddlers so they are technically still babies in my game. Then there was the missing CC which really wasn't all that bad just a few missing hairs and outfits so Noelle got a hair cut. (Gemma's makeover was story driven since I still had all her cc.) The only problem that was really annoying was that I completely lost Boyce, Paisly, and Duncon and since I cannot continue on my storyline without them I had to remake them so when they appear in next chapter they may look different (although given that they were barely seen I am hoping it wont be noticable). Anyway this update is a little lacking the flair I wanted to give it but getting back into the swing of this legacy may take me a bit so please bare with me. =)

Update

Okay so here's the deal, I haven't abandoned this legacy however I do not currently have it on my computer since my lovely husband in an attempt to give me a better hard drive removed my old one with all of my saves without telling me. I'm not sure when I will be able to get the files back but I am hoping it will be relatively soon. In the meantime I have started another legacy since I felt like doing a challenge. You can find it here. So assuming I still have readers I hope to see you over there =)
