It's an exciting year for the McCullough family. Little Zoey will be starting kindergarten next year, and Genesis is pregnant again with twins.
They moved back to Arcadia shortly before Zoey's birth so they could raise their daughter away from the city. Since their apartment came with a big yard, they were able to adopt Rachel's childhood dog Lulu from her parents.
Rachel and Genesis talked a lot about how to have another child. After Zoey was born, they learned that Dr. Technician had used alien DNA to create their daughter. It's still considered an experimental technique, and they worry about how Zoey will be treated by other people, but they finally decide to go back to him. Since they have one half-alien child, they decide they should give her siblings with the same genetic heritage.
*****
Zoey's birthday party is small, just her and her parents. She doesn't really know any other kids her age, even though she has eight cousins thanks to the Cooper family's tendency towards twins. Even though Rachel works for the family business, she isn't close to her brother or sister.
Zoey can't wait to be a big sister. She loves to talk to the babies inside her mother's stomach. "Hi babies!" she says. "I can't wait to meet you."
The twins are a girl and a boy, Mary and Adam. Genesis and Rachel are so happy with their growing family (even if their kids are a bit unusual looking).
