Kaleb, a loner in a large family, chooses to invite only his best friend to his birthday party.

Marci is really happy to celebrate Kaleb's birthday. She has just turned into a young adult herself. It is such a great feeling to leave school and homework behind.

Marci is very happy with Kaleb's new look. Maybe his newly-developed evil streak appeals to her as well.

Whatever the main attraction is, the feeling appears to be mutual. Kaleb loves Marci. He knows what he wants in life and wastes no time moving forward.

Russ had a unique comment on that. He thought it was a crazy decision. He might be a bit cynical though based on how his own marriage turned out.

Yeah, Russ felt he had gotten the equivalent of a "Dear John" letter from his wife. He had reacted poorly when she broke up with him and he tried to find love in the arms of others. Yet, there was just something so unique about her that drew him back to her.

Maybe that was the way Kaleb felt about Marci. Marci might be a bit hot-headed with no sense of humor, but she loved the outdoors and had quite a green thumb. She was also athletic and wanted to be an astronaut, so she joined the military.

During this time, Kanani finished upgrading all the replicators.

Then, she had a harrowing experience in the catacombs.

After which, she decided it was time for her to move to her own place as well. She moved right next door.

Additionally, Kaden finally graduated from high school.

He continued to try and paint a good portrait of Kimberly whose dark skin tone made it more difficult to capture her true beauty.

It wasn't long though before Marci was in the family way.

Kaleb pampered her. He gave her massages. And, most importantly, he looked at her with love in his eyes.

This was the woman who would carry the next Kleptos heiress.

Marci took her impending motherhood in stride. She spent a lot of time outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine, which she loved. She also spent a lot of time with Kaleb, whom she adored.

She had worked hard to get and stay in shape. However, labor is intense no matter how physically fit one is. Kyanna commiserated with her, but offered no real help.

Marci was happy when the final moment eventually arrived.

Kaleb and Marci were both ecstatic to have the baby. Kaleb had wanted a girl, but it hadn't mattered to Marci either way. Little Karrena was now the heiress who would in turn give birth to the last of a legacy.
