When
Donald Cheater found out that he'd impregnated S'rul Alien, he immediately
did the right thing and proposed, even though he know it would be difficult
to hide the fact that he had an alien wife from the public - and they'd
be interested, considering how quickly he was moving up the political
ladder on the liberal front.
Yet somehow he managed to call in enough favors and appeased the press:
some doctored pictures that made S'rul look human, and a heartbreaking
story of how she was suffering from some rare ailment and would have
to be kept from the stress of appearing in public.
His wedding took place in private, with just the immediate family present.
And S'rul didn't need anything else: she'd always been dreaming of having
a family.

Donald was very relieved when his daughter was born looking human -
it's wasn't that he'd have found an alien-looking daughter unlovable,
but he could present Daniela to the press, and thus satisfy their cravings
of getting a glimpse of his private life. Baldwin and Evie were happy
to have more grandchildren, especially since as opposed to Charles'
children, Donald's would grow up with them, and they could be around
them all the time.
Donald and S'rul were delighted with Daniela, and soon she was joined
by Evelynn and Felicitas - and, whoops, S'nur. But luckily, Felicitas
and S'nur were twins, so they could just omit the fact that two children
had been born from the press release.
"

Somewhere in the middle of this flurry of babies, Baldwin aged to elder,
but he just couldn't bring himself to give up his job - and it would
have been a shame, he was a great coach.

He stayed active in his job until the day he died - after a happy and
fulfilled life.

Evie, much younger than him, mourned for a while, but after that, she
concentrated instead on her grandchildren, and found much happiness
in them. She aged gracefully.

The children all grew up well: Daniela was most like her father, very
interested in politics, although she took a much more conservative stance
than her father. Once she entered her teenage years, she was the one
who went with him to his various gala events.

Evelynn was a lively, outgoing and pretty girl, despite the fact that
her nose was strangely deformed. Not that this stopped her in any way
from being one of the most popular girls of Normalville - and she drank
in all the boys' attention eagerly.

Felicitas demanded to be allowed to wear her hair short and wear male
clothes from very early on. It didn't surprise anyone when she grew
up and proudly declared herself to be a dyke, and then promptly entered
the military.

S'nur grew into a rather shy child and teen, who was home schooled by
her mother. Living with just her family suited her fine - although she
did hope that one day, she would have a family of her own.

S'rul was supremely happy with the wonderful family she had: a husband
with a good chance of becoming the next mayor, 4 great daughters, and
even a mother-in-law she was good friends with. And after years and
years of experimenting with her daughters' hair, she finally managed
to get a handle on her own.
