Take Me to the Moon 3.5: A New Normal

Previous Chapter/ Next Chapter

Cacey was working harder than ever had before. She wasn't working for a promotion, and she wasn't scheming to get a hot date every weekend. Instead, Cacey was now the sole guardian of her orphaned niece, Delaney Tesla. And she was working to see her grow up happy and successful.

But hot-headed Cacey had never felt so defeated in her life. How could Delaney grow up happy, when she'd lost her high-society mother, her doting father, her loving grandparents, and her home?

From the outside, everything looked idyllic and peaceful at the Tesla home.

But inside, the situation was not fairy-tale worthy. (Evil witch forced to wash large piles of dishes: not by the book.)

In the days after Barnaby's wedding, Beatrice found herself pulled to her mother's grave more often. She was uncharacteristically saddened by the loss.

After Micah's death, Maddi once again planted a little apple tree, and started to tend it daily. The one she planted when Beatrice was a baby had died from neglect in the long years of hard work and struggle to make ends meet.

Maddi seemed to be aging quickly these days, but she had reason to be happy.

They rehearsed their vows before the ceremony.

With a substantial raise and her eldest about to become an adult, Maddi felt more together than she had in years. She decided to make a gourmet black & white cake for Barnaby's birthday.

As Barnaby thought about what he wanted to wish for, Maddi felt quite proud of her son.

After Beatrice's teen birthday, Barnaby set out to make some friends his own age. In the Garden District he met a guy named Harry Potter.

All the homes in this area were grand old houses situated along the creek, with willows shading the banks and little parks tucked in around the houses.

As Barnaby's teen birthday approached, all was not happy at the usually merry Tesla home. Maddi and Micah had their first ever fight, and said things they both regretted. Maddi even tore into Micah's woohoo technique.

Although both of them tried to turn the conversation more positive at times, they ended up seething in separate rooms.

It was time for Barnaby's birthday, and despite fatigue and hectic work schedules, Maddi and Micah prepared to throw a party. The fridge broke down, fortunately AFTER the cake and the salad were made. Even breaking out his sombrero failed to lift Micah's mood.
