Gen 2, Chapter 1: Penny for Your thoughts
A little while longer, and, for the first time in her life, Penny was alone.
The brothers of the family were now both living with Blaine, caring for a sick, grieving Zara. (Her father and mother died just a week apart, and the postpartum depression she was going through wasn't doing her any favors either.)
Speaking of sick, their mother wasn't doing any better, and so they all had decided that sending her to the old folks' home was for the best.
For now, Penny was alone in the tiny little family home her mother had raised her in, and she was now determined to never wait; While that may seem like bad morals, having your dad die right in front of your eyes of old age because he had waited too long to have you seemed like a pretty good reason to cut to the chase.
Surely, whatever gods had control over fate and love would give her just as much success as they had her mother, right?
Wrong. There was only one man she had her eyes on, and he liked playing hard to get. Leroy Kruger was your typical bad boy- the tips of his hair died an obnoxious shade of crimson red, always slacking off at his job (How ironic that he happened to want to become an athlete.) Time after time, Penny tried to explain the story of how she had become so desperate, he'd always shrug it off with a shrug of his broad shoulders and a snarky comment.
Still, if life as an Adams had taught Penny anything, it was that perseverance was key. So, she proposed to him, he suddenly brought out his big white stallion, and they lived happily ever after.
Y'know except for the part where she had to give up to of her kids for adoption out of a need for an heiress...that part got pretty rough.
