Africa Dominguez
Season Winter Loan debt: $0
Household members: Laci Horovitz (Africa's live-in girlfriend)
Children: Darius and Dominica (currently infant stage)
It always seems that there is someone crying in this house. Its bad enough that the neighbors make so much noise that there has to be constant banging on the wall. Africa has had enough of it so she is now enemies with the neighbors. As far as Laci goes for her the lack of sleep is starting to get to her more now than when she was pregnant. Just as her eyelids were finally closing she heard the yell of her toddler son, Darius. Darius in turn woke up Dominica. Now they were both up and they needed changing and feeding. Thank god that Africa was there to help every step of the way.
Africa: My daughter Dominica is so spoiled. I want the best for her but it seems that she demands a lot of attention. When she was a baby she was always waking up at odd hours asking for a feeding. Now that she is a toddler she wants to learn everything at once. I just hope that she learns some patience.
Unlike his twin sister, Darius was calm. It seemed that he always wanted to be near his mama Laci. Laci could not wait to get home and hold her babies. Laci's career as a field researcher was taking a toll on her. It was awesome that Africa managed to be home more than she did. Africa was promoted to Mime and that gave her more free time.
the good thing is that the twins loved playing together all the time. If you were looking for one of them for sure you will find the other. It was a great thing that they took care of each other and got along.
One thing that wierded Africa out was a visit from her mother Estelle. The relationship between Africa and Estelle had been rocky. Now that Africa was an adult and a mom she choose to try to mend her relationship with her mom. Also it didnt help that her parents were getting older. She didnt want to miss out the opportunities of hanging out with her family. For some reason she thought Estelle was there to talk about parenting but to her surprise the whole conversation was about Asia.
"Do you think that she is dating someone? I am worried about her
being all alone in that townhouse without someone other than her dog."said
Estelle.
"Mom. I dont know if she is dating. I know that she is happy because she
looks it. I see her at work sometimes and it seems that shes doing
fine. Why not let her relax a bit. Were just out of college and it doesnt
seem like she is desparately seeking."
"But Africa, You are with Laci, Miguel...well who knows what is going on there. But then Suki is getting married and Atani is actively dating. So of course im going to worry about Asia.""Alright mom I will talk to her and ask her what is going on. I am
tellling you that you are worrying about nothing."
To appease her mother Africa and Laci invited Asia over for dinner. Africa could only guess that being Asia's twin is what provoked Estelle to ask for her help. They were having a great dinner talking about the kids, work when Africa flat out asked Asia about her dating life.
"What is the concern about my dating life?" asked Asia.
"Mom is concerned. You know how she is. She just wants to make sure that you are OK. Lord knows she probably thinks your gay like me and does not want to say anything."
"What? Oh please. I am...well im not dating because I have not found anyone interesting. Were only 25 years old. What in the world are we supposed to be doing? Just because you are with Laci and my other sibillings are dating? Ugh. This is really annoying me."
Laci interrupted by saying, "Im sure your mom just wants everyone to be with someone and happy. I do not think that your mom sees that you can be happy by yourself. Dont worry im sure she will back down soon."
A few days later Africa and Laci were sitting down in their livingroom enjoying the peace and quiet. Africa loved Laci and begins to wonder if Laci would marry her. She would find the perfect time to get the ring and propose. For right now she was just happy sitting and enjoying Laci's company.
