A/N: 4th update today... I've got way too much time on my hands right now! Not long now til the next generation though snoopy_loopy!

“Bye bye Uni!” With her diploma in hand, Jane was leaving University. Where she would go she didn’t know, but she planned to keep in touch.

Meanwhile…



The two of them were celebrating completing their third year. However, things were going to become even more difficult.

Another day, another round of sandwiches. Allegra was finding pregnancy while studying to be exhausting, but Jasper’s culinary repertoire wouldn’t stretch very far. She hoped that she’d be able to catch some kind of break once the baby arrived.

“JASPER! GET YOUR BUTT IN HERE!” While she had handled the earlier ones fine, Allegra hadn’t been prepared for the intensity of the contractions as the moment of birth grew closer and closer.


Jasper arrived in the kitchen just in time to see his baby daughter Alexandria arrive.

“What do you mean you’re on probation AGAIN?” Allegra couldn’t work out why Jasper couldn’t keep up with his work, yet she was managing despite looking after a baby.
“Sorry Alley… I’ll go study then, shall I?”
“After you bath Alex – she needs a bit of Daddy time.”

Alexandria loved baths; splashing Jasper was great fun!
“Shall I put that new baby dress Mum found at the market on her?” he asked, lifting Alex out of the basin.
“Do – she’ll look even more adorable in that!”

Allegra was right. The cute Piglet frock with matching booties suited Alexandria perfectly.
After giving her a bottle Jasper placed her in the crib upstairs in what was now their room.

“You know, I may not be the best student, but I’ve got the best little family right here…” Jasper murmured to Allegra as he fell asleep.

If there was one thing Allegra liked doing (aside from study that is) it was playing with Alexandria. Not a day went by without her picking the child up and rubbing noses, lifting her into the air and suchlike. She was enjoying motherhood, for the most part.



Graduation day arrived, for Allegra and Martin at least. It was now or never for Jasper – had he done enough to avoid expulsion?

Unfortunately not. While his fiancée celebrated getting her diploma, Jasper had been told to get off campus, pronto! With a sideways look at the house he’d spent the last four years in, he transitioned into an adult.

“I’ll find us a place to live!” he shouted to Allegra as the taxi pulled away. With a wave, Allegra went inside to pack up their things. Then after phoning for the taxi to take her and Alexandria back, she too grew up to adulthood.
