GEN II: Chapter 2

The Fuller family happened to be surprised one night by a sneaky burglar! Alan, Hayden and Kenya were the only ones awoken by suspicious noises. Everyone else stayed sound asleep. The three of them ran out onto the porch just in time to see a policeman tackling the robber. He won that fight thankfully.

She was cuffed and escorted to the squad car. After the officer did a sweep of the house to make sure nothing was missing, he took her downtown. She would be spending a while in jail, she had a few warrants out for her arrest.

Kenya and Alan went back to bed, but Hayden chose to stay awake. He took a shower and ate some breakfast, then even did a little inventing. After a while, just as the sun was coming up he decided to go to the park.



When he arrived he realised that he was the only one there. Hayden sat on the fountain for a while, but got bored quickly. He thought about calling his girlfriend Isabel. He did, and was told that she would be there shortly. She'd be happy to see him.










To pass the time, Hayden caught a few butterflies. He never had a real interest in any insects before, but it was fun to catch them on occasion.

Hayden looked up from his second butterfly catch to notice Isabel had arrived. She had apparently not seen him and sat down to read a book. He approached and asked what she was reading. "Actually it is a book about charisma, I'm learning as much as I can about speech making." she replied.
"Awesome! That is a nice skill to have," Hayden told her. Then he remembered something else.

Hayden told her all about the robbery, and although nothing was taken, because of him, a well known criminal was in jail. He also made sure to tell her that he was not afraid of a silly old burglar, no matter how dangerous.
Leading right from the story of the dangerous criminal Hayden started flirting about taking her around the world, discovering new things. She flirted back in kind for a few minutes, then challenged him to a game of chess.

They played for one game, and Hayden won.



She said she needed to go home and cook some dinner, and they kissed goodbye. Just as she was leaving though, Hayden caught her wrist and offered to take her out. She accepted, leaving her family to fend for themselves.

They went to the Bistro together and ordered their favorite dishes. Small talk got them through the meal nicely, Isabel was telling Hayden all about her new car. She was very excited to have it, and happy she didn't have to take taxi's anymore.

The two finished their dinners and stood to say farewell, again.

Isabel wrapped Hayden in a very warm hug. Before she knew it, or could blink. He was on one knee in front of her asking her to be his wife.

"Isabel, I've known you since I was little," Hayden told her "and I could never see myself with anyone but you. Would you marry me?"
Without hesitation, or even caring if her family would approve or not, she accepted his proposal. "I would love to marry you Hayden. You were my first crush, and I love you still, even more deeply."

The newly engaged couple stood and embraced. After a little more conversation, mostly about when the wedding would be, they departed company.

Hayden arrived home to find his father reading a book and his mother was no where to be seen. He interrupted Alan and said that he had important news for him and mom. Hayden then called for Jenni. He wanted to tell them both at the same time.
Jenni came from upstairs.
"What is so urgent Hayden? Are you alright?" She asked, a little worried.
"Oh I'm great, nothings wrong!" Hayden told his mother, to calm her. "I have asked Isabel to be my wife and she accepted. We are going to be married!"

Alan and Jenni were a little shocked, they hadn't even known he was thinking about it. The truth is, he hadn't been thinking about it, it was a spur of the moment action. Both parents were very happy for Hayden, they congratulated their son and hugged him. Jenni started asking about plans right away. "When is it going to be? Were you planning a small family ceremony like your brother? Or maybe a big party, we could rent a place!"
Hayden asked her to take a breath, and advised her there were no plans at the moment. But there will be. Alan was glad to see his son so excited about his life. "Have you met her parents yet son?"

Hayden thought for a moment. "Actually no, you have a point there. Maybe I should do that."
