Tesime - Round Ten : The Gallant-Benet chapter

 
 
 
As we visit Annalise and Basil we find that the funny feeling in her tummy turned out to be a bun baking and she was ready to deliver !  Around the same time they were grateful to inherit some beloved items from Skalton and Cimon on their passing.  The birth went well for a first baby and when it was over they had a cuddly son who they named Gabriel.  Being a first child and after their tragic elders passing, Gabriel was a welcome distraction.  Grandma Belle Benet was happy to spend lots of time with him and before they knew it it was time for the aging ceremony.  Annalise and Belle were very proud to continue on their family's face marking tradition.

Tesime - Round Nine : The Gallant-Benet chapter

When it came time for Basil and Annalise to age this was the result. lol not very era friendly ! After some help from their creator this was what they turned into. Much more appropriate don't you think? Now that adulthood arrived it was time for some PDA. That caused a strange feeling in Annalise's tummy, so after a quick consult with her mother Belle Benet, she surmised that the prehistoric stork had visited so they had a ceremony to unite them in marriage. Gathering honey became a full contact sport!

Tesime - Round Eight : The Gallant-Benet chapter

The Gallant-Benet's were all about together time. As teenagers they were enjoying the new freedom that came with living on their own lot. Of course the chores still had to get done but they didn't take much time at all. Because they lived close to the sea, Annalise found some sea sponges that helped her clean around the hut while Basil, out hunting bugs one day, found some new squigglies that made fishing a breeze. In the twilight they would lie in the grass and look up at all the stars, play the new game of Tesime Finger Trap or hide and seek with the wildlife.

Tesime - Round Seven: Introducing The Gallant-Benet chapter

Moving along with the new teens and their match-ups, we see Basil Gallant and Annalise Benet have successfully moved to their new seaside home. They are very happy with such stunning ocean views! It seems Cimon and Ashanti Phan have become the welcome wagon on Tesime and stop by to see how the pair are making out. This meant a lot to the couple since the Phan's live at the complete opposite side of the island. That evening Basil's father, Tre, dropped in. Wanting to be a nice mother-in-law, Rose Gallant decided to send only her husband on the first visit and let him get the scoop on how things were going. It was a great visit with Basil and Tre talking about the new move and what this would mean for Basil as the man of his own family now.

Having spent so much time growing up tending to the family farms they had the skills to look after the plants on their lot. They were so happy to see some fruit trees in the back which held them over until the ground provisions were ready for harvest. Day in and day out they toiled away at their little garden and looked forward to expanding their little farm. The Tesime sun was relentless and even for the residents with darker complexions it took its toll. Some days the smartest thing to do was to stay inside and try to entertain yourselves and do your chores in the evenings.
