Background Information

If you haven't read the latest chapters of Stormy or Absent, this will contain spoilers.

Here's the future I have planned for Gracie and Ryan.

Ryan gets his job back at the Bureau of Indian Affairs (that's the official name of the government agency by the way...not me being politically incorrect by saying "Indian" - lol, just had to point that out because someone got offended once when I wrote Ryan worked for Indian Affairs). Anyway...inspired by Gracie, Ryan also enrolls in the University of Maryland where he gets his Master's in Public Policy. He eventually works his way up and becomes a high ranking government official. Ryan does a lot of good, improving the quality of living on reservations across the States.

Gracie ends up getting her doctorate. She gets a job preserving Native American artifacts at the Smithsonian and becomes a renowned expert in the field of American Indian culture.

Ryan and Gracie eventually get married and have two children. Jaxon (Jax) is the oldest. They also have a little girl, Brooke, a few years later. Originally I had it in my head that Brooke gets imprinted on by Gabe and Lilly's oldest son, Caleb, but then I remembered Lilly and Gracie are cousins. Still...I think by the time Caleb and Brooke make an appearance, they'd be fifth or sixth cousins. The line would be distant enough by then that they could marry without having problems. LOL, I'm sure the idea would still creep people out, but that's how I envisioned it. And I liked that Gracie and Gabe's children eventually fell in love with each other, given how close Gracie and Gabe are. (And can you imagine Ryan's reaction if Gabe's son fell in love with his daughter?)

Regarding Gracie's other son, Ryan keeps in contact with Tristen and Charlotte, but Gracie doesn't meet Brayden again until he's eighteen. They become friendly, but he considers Tristen and Charlotte his only parents. Brayden has a good life and becomes a professional football player. He never phases.

Strange Imprint Song: Chapter 1

Strange by Tori Amos. Pretty fitting, especially if you look at it from Hayley's perspective.

Seth's Story

Edit: I used a different actor for Seth because BooBoo looks really young and I wanted someone a bit older. I tried to find someone who was an older version of him. Girl on the left is Kayla Marie. Girl on the right is Hayley. 

Gabe and Lilly

I found these on the Internet (I didn't make them), but here are some pictures of Lilly and Gabe.

Stormy Q&A

*SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE LATEST STORMY CHAPTER*

I keep getting asked why Gabe had a connection to Gracie's baby. Gabe always gets a strong reaction out of people, lol, though it's not always good. He also loves children and kids react to him. The first time you ever read about Gabe in Early Imprint, he was using his powers on a little girl, planting images of puppies in her head because she was scared and he wanted to comfort her. Kids are drawn to him, even ones that aren't born yet. ;)
