DDog [8]: BettyThe past two years have been a bit of a mixed bag for the Fairchilds. On the one hand; Max, Will and Josie are all in school, Fabian and Eleanor celebrated their anniversary at a fancy hotel in Scotland, and welcomed two new arrivals as well. On the other, Bea was diagnosed with moderate cerebral palsy and will nearly always need a walker or a wheelchair, Will is pretty unhappy at school, and the pregnancy took a fair bit out of Eleanor in conjunction with caring for four children. Although they'd never admit it, both Fabian and Eleanor were quite happy with four kids - Ivan and Gil had been total accidents, but they weren't any the less delighted when Eleanor found out. They both desperately needed the weekend away up north. They left the kids with Eleanor's parents, and spent the time simply relaxing and remembering why they fell in love, and when they returned felt they could face anything life threw at them. John, always a bright boy who loved words (especially in class, when the teacher was talking, much to their frustration) has found a passion for writing in all forms, after finally realising that he would probably never make the football team. Will's still not taken to sports very much, and prefers to spend his time reading and practising his violin, a fact which earns him a lot of teasing at school. Josie, on the other hand, has already proven herself to be a very athletic kid, winning almost every race at her Primary 1 sports day!
