A joint legacy between ilovereecee & meadowthayer



Thank you for coming back to read the twenty thirdchapter of The Cooke Legacy. We¶re almost halfway done

with this fun filled alphabet legacy (this chapter shares

with you the college years of generation J, and the spareshave their generation K children). I hope that you enjoy the

chapter and come back next time to see the heir¶s live athome!

And from here I will let Jackson Cooke, the generation J heir,take over the narration.

-Katie



It was finally time to head off to

college. My younger brother,

sister and I all got accepted to

the famous Academie Le Tour ± before we left we hugged and

kissed our mother Vicki

goodbye then left our family

home and headed towards our

futures together!



I, Jackson Cooke, am the heir and I feel it is a born right

for me ± after all I am the oldest. My younger brother Jonathan and my baby sister Joselyn and I are rooming

together in our grandmother Hannah¶s old college home.

It¶s pretty spacious and already decked out with nice

furniture ± sure beats living in the crowded, loud dorms!



After a light breakfast of pancakes made by Jonathan,

Joselyn and I declared our majors. My lifetime want is to become chief of staff, so I declared and biology major.

Joselyn wants to earn $100,000 in her life and so she

declared math. Jonathan, who has his heart set on

becoming a captain hero, chose psychology for his major.



I¶m a fortune aspiration and Joselyn is a knowledge

aspiration so we love living in our grandmother Hannah¶sold college home. It¶s nice and quiet and serves as awonderful place to study and relax. Jonathan is a

popularity aspiration and I thought he would want to be partying all the time, but I guess his secondary knowledge

aspiration is kicking in. He has no problem staying homestudying and gaming just like me and my sister.



That doesn¶t mean thatJon¶s popularity

aspiration doesn¶t shinethrough at times. WhileJoselyn and I prefer tostudy by doingassignments or writing

term papers, Jonathanwould rather chat up his professors to earn thegood grade instead. Can¶t

say that I blame him ± it¶s much less tiring andhe has a lot more freetime than Joselyn or Iever do.



Although our college lives away from home haven¶t been

too eventful so far, time is still flying by. It seemed likesuch a short amount of time before we had completed our first semester of college! We all made spectacular gradeson our finals and even made the Deans List! That extramoney sure came in handy when it came to decorating the

rest of our new home.



Our second semester was

when we started to really

meet our peers. Jonathanmet a pretty girl named

Lakshmi Barakat in his

introduction to

psychology class andinvited her over to hang

out one day. They had an

instant connection and

Jon really enjoyedgetting to hang out with

her outside of the

classroom!



Joselyn was kind of reserved for a young woman in her

freshman year of college. I am kind of thankful for that, because as her older brother I was worried she would let

loose and go wild once she got out of the grip of mom and

dad. I¶m pleased to say that my baby sister enjoys reading,

painting and now sewing as her free time hobbies.



Jonathan¶s life time want to become a captain hero is going

to require that he be in tip top shape! He bought a newworkout machine with his scholarship refund and beganworking out a daily routine to get buff. He figures if hestarts now and continues for the next few years, he mighthave an advantage over the others starting out in his same

career.



In addition to his daily workout routine, Jon has added

something else to his everyday schedule: hanging out withLakshmi. They talk on the phone every night and it seems

that she is always in the house these days. I think Jon could

be getting serious about his new girlfriend.



Jon and Lakshmi are a

very touchy-feely couple.

They¶re constantlyflirting with each other,

holding hands, hugging

and kissing. I¶m happy

that my little brother has

found someone to make

him happy. Lakshmi is a

very nice girl as far as Ican tell. They definitely

make a cute couple!



Apparently Lakshmi thinks the very same thing

that I do! That afternoon nearing the end of our

freshman year in college she fell in love with my

brother. When the date ended and they kissed

goodnight, Jon fell in love too :)



We made all A¶s once again on our finals for the second semester

of college. Joselyn wanted to go out to celebrate, so she venturedout of our home and down to a coffee shop not to far from us.She had a blast sipping on her cup of joe and hanging out withthe locals. She even told me she met a cute guy named Ramin onthe way out to the cab. I wonder if this can be the beginning of

romance for my baby sister!



In my anatomy and physiology class I wasgrouped together with a

woman named Lisa for a project. We¶d gotten toknow each other prettywell during the weeks we

were working together and soon we werehanging out after classtoo. She¶s pretty fun andgorgeous too. I love her long blonde hair and brown eyes. I think Imight just have crush onLisa!



Joselyn continues to be

the more studious one of

us Cooke college kids.She¶s always working on

some paper or scribbling

in her blue assignment

pad. One day out of the blue the gym¶s trainer

showed up and started

yelling at Joselyn.

Apparently he thinks thatshe studies too much and

would benefit from a

long, hard workout! Lol!



Joselyn doesn¶t always study though. She spends a lot of

time on the phone talking to Ramin ± the older man shemet at the coffee shop a few weeks back. You would

think they would run out of things to say to each other

because they¶re always chatting! But apparently not.



College has definitely brought my brother Jonathan and I closer

together. We have a lot of time to bond together. Iwas pretty excited whenhe pulled me aside after

washing dinner dishesone night to confide in methat he thought LakshmiBarakat, his current loveand girlfriend, was theone for him. And that hewas planning to pop thequestion any day now!



That very evening Jon decided he didn¶t want to

wait another minute to ask for Lakshmi¶s hand inmarriage! He took her out to the local park and pulled her to the side of the lake where theychatted and watched the fish swimming around

and around in the warm summer water.



An audience of other students

gathered around as Jon

dropped to one knee, pulledout the diamond ring and

asked Lakshmi to be his wife.

She of course said yes!



Back at home Joselyn

continues to be heckled by the

gym¶s trainer day in and day

out! I¶m starting to wonder

why he doesn¶t come bother

Jon or I ± we study almost as

much as she does and we haveour free time hobby of

painting and reading as well.

Maybe the trainer is trying to

flirt with my baby sister ± I¶ve

heard that sometimes guys aremean to the girls they like. If

that¶s the case, this guy is

taking it way overboard! Lol.



Joselyn has started tofinally come out of her shell. It¶s been almost two

years since we¶ve movedinto our new collegehome. It¶s about time mysister started hanging out

with people outside of theclassroom. Hailey, thecampus cheerleader captain, befriendedJoselyn and even taughther the most popular cheer at Academie LeTour!



The semester is coming to and end, which means I won¶t

have the anatomy class with Lisa anymore. I¶ve grown tocare for her a lot over the past few months, I think I mayeven love her. I think about her all the time and whenever I¶m away from her, I feel like it¶s a waste of my time. Iinvited her over one night to meet my siblings. I was so

happy to see that she got along well with Jon and Joselyn.



After dinner I took her upstairs where I said ³I

love you´ for the first time. My heart was

pounding the whole time ± I¶m sure she could hear

it! I must be the luckiest guy in the world, because

she said it right back without hesitation! :)



I knew right then and

there that I wanted to

make Lisa my wife. Idropped to one knee

and asked her to be

mine forever. She said

yes and even exclaimedthat she¶d been waiting

on this for the past few

months. I can¶t believe

how lucky I am to havethe most beautiful

fiancée in the entire

school ± no, world!



I was home during their afternoon date and I tried

to give them as much privacy as possible, butwalking through the living room I did notice how

cute Ramin and Joselyn are together. I¶m glad he

treats my baby sister so well.



At the end of their date, Joselyn must have been feeling

very courageous because she bestowed a kiss upon Raminas they were saying goodbye. This is very unlike my little

sister. I¶m starting to see that she¶s growing up and

blossoming into a sweet, loving young woman.



Now that Lisa and I are engaged I can¶t wait to graduate

college at the end of the semester. My finacee is a familyaspiration and so naturally she is over the moon about planning a wedding. We¶re on the phone every nighttalking about everything from color scheme to the guestlist. Lisa wants a large wedding ± I could care less who is

there to see us say the vows. I just can¶t wait to marry her!



My siblings and I have only a week left until the

end of the semester. It¶s time to tie up all the looseends for homework and assignments. We all

managed to get the entirety of our studying done

and we all felt very prepared for our senior finals.



Jonathan, Joselyn and I all

graduated with honors from

Academie Le Tour that week! I

can¶t believe my college yearshave gone by so fast. I¶m lucky

enough to have graduated with

such stellar grades A ND found

the woman of my dreams who

agreed to be my wife.

Wedding plans are still going

on. It seems like Lisa has taken

the reigns on the planning. She

usually runs her ideas by me andof course I¶m fine with whatever

she has to say ± this is her big

day, I¶m just there to put the ring

on and kiss the beautiful bride :)



Now that we¶re graduated Joselyn had one more thing planned for herself before moving back home toDesiderata Valley ± falling in love! She and Ramin had been dating officially for the past few years, but my poor sister has been to shy to tell of her deep feelings for him.Finally one night she got up the courage to confess her love ± Ramin of course shared the same feelings!



Once they both realized they were on the same

page, Joselyn wasn¶t going to waste any time dillydallying around! She bent to one knee on thegravel pathway and asked Ramin to be her husband! Once again, Ramin had mutual feelings

and of course he answered yes!



We hadn¶t really had an all too exciting college

life ± so for graduation we invited our parents andfiancé's over for a party. The night before wecould hardly sleep. So we stayed up doing whatwe had spent most of our college days doing ±

painting, reading and sewing.



The party was a complete

success the next day! My parents

celebrated the graduation of their

three children and of course weall did as well. It was definitely a

time of celebration with family ±

and those that would soon be

married in to become part of the

Cooke family!



In my cap and gown I planted a big ol¶ smooch on my

gorgeous fiancée Lisa. Everyone said to cherish my collegedays because they would be the best of my life, but holding

Lisa in my arms in that moment I begged to differ! The best

days were certainly ahead of me with Lisa by my side.



After graduating Jonathan bought a two story

home for himself and Lakshmi. Lakshmi, a family

aspiration, wanted to get married and have kidsstraight away. So that¶s exactly what they planned

on doing after unpacking into their new home.



My brother and new

sister-in-law had a small,

private ceremony in the

lawn of their new hometogether. They

exchanged vows, rings

and Jon made his fiancée

his wife µtil death do they part.



Jonathan didn¶t waste any time searching for his

desired career. Ever since he was a teenager he has

wanted to work in law enforcement. He was luckyenough to find a job that week after graduation

and began working immediately as a cadet.



Lakshmi got pregnant very quickly, but it proved to be

more difficult post-conception. Jon and Lakshmi bothcame down with the flu and that with pregnancy was too

much for my sister-in-law to handle. She was constantly

throwing up, rushing to the bathroom and could hardly

sleep through the night.



With Lakshmi havingsuch a hard time with her pregnancy, Jon thought itwould be best if shewasn¶t left alone duringthe day while he was atwork. My father, Ishmael,

of course agreed to look after his new daughter-in-law during these times. Itdefinitely let them bond

more and Lakshmi wasgrateful for the extra helparound the house whileshe was so sick.



It¶s a good thing Dad was there to keep Lakshmi

company ± one night while Jon was at work, she

went into labor with their baby! I have a beautifulnephew that they decided to name Kale! We can

already tell that he is going to look like his

mother. He has so many of her features.



Because Lakshmi¶s pregnancy had been so scarywith Kale, she and Jon decided not to have anymore children. They dedicated all of their time andattention to the rapidly growing toddler they werealready blessed with. Kale was such a smart child;learning to walk and talk was a breeze for him. Ihope my children will be equally as gifted!



Kale completed the Cooke family for Jonathan

and Lakshmi. They were happy to have made itthrough a difficult pregnancy, with the flu on top

of it all, and come out with a happy baby boy to

care for the rest of their lives together.



Joselyn and Ramin haddated for a long time incollege before either onesaid the three big words³I love you´. So theywere still floating onclouds after getting

engaged the last week of college and eager to getmarried. For thisreason,they skipped the

wedding arch and poofywhite dress and said their vows in their new livingroom.



It didn¶t take long before Joselyn was pregnant

with her first child! It was weird for me to see my baby sister all grown up, married and about to

become a new mommy! She was thrilled though

and Ramin was over the moon to have a little one.



Ramin and Joselyn got two

for the price of one! She gave

birth to two fraternal twin

boys ± Kameron (on the right)and Karson (on the left). This

means I now have three

nephews to spoil! I can¶t

believe there hasn¶t been a

little girl born to either of my

siblings. I wonder if Lisa and

I will only have boys also?!

Joselyn and Ramin decided

not to take the risk on havinganother multiple birth, and

stopped at two handsome rug

rats!



The End

That will end the chapter now that the spares have had their happy endings!

I hope you enjoyed the chapter and look back next time to

witness Jackson and Lisa¶s life together as husband andwife.
