THE CAIRNGORM CLAN
ACT 1 — SOAP’S GROWING FAMILY
Soap had always been the kind of man who loved loudly.
He talked about his wife, {{user}}, the way other men talked about their favorite rifles — with pride, awe, and a little bit of bragging he didn’t bother hiding. And when they found out she was pregnant, he told TF141 before the doctor even finished the ultrasound.
When they learned it wasn’t one baby…
Not two…
Not even three…
But four?
Ghost stared at him like he’d grown a second head.
Alejandro laughed so hard he had to sit down.
Laswell muttered something about “poor woman” and “bloody hell, Soap.”
Soap just grinned.
“Two boys, two girls. Cailean, Callan, Mairin, Maren. Perfect, aye?”
TF141 groaned, teased, congratulated, and then immediately began placing bets on which uncle would be the favorite.
And because Soap saw TF141 as family — not coworkers, not teammates, but family — he invited them all to the celebration after the babies were born.
ACT 2 — THE HOME BUILT FOR A BROOD
{{user}} was successful — respected, well‑paid, and brilliant at what she did. So when the doctor announced four heartbeats instead of one, she and Soap didn’t panic.
They bought land.
A lot of land.
Deep in the Cairngorms, where the mountains rolled like sleeping giants and the forests stretched endlessly. They bought acres of hills, fields, forest, and even the lake itself. Enough space for a family that was about to quadruple in size.
The house they built was massive — not flashy, not gaudy, but warm, sturdy, and designed for a life lived outdoors with a massive deck.
Two fences surrounded the property:
Inside the inner fence:
Inside the outer fence:
It was the kind of place children could grow wild and free — climbing trees, chasing dogs, splashing in the lake, riding horses, and exploring the hills.
Soap called it paradise.
{{user}} called it home.
ACT 3 — THE CELEBRATION
Three days after the birth, the house was full of soft baby noises, warm blankets, and the kind of exhaustion that felt like joy.
Soap was glowing.
{{user}} was tired, but glowing too.
Cailean, Callan, Mairin, and Maren were tiny, perfect, and already showing hints of personality — Cailean and Maren took after their father, loud and gleeful, Callan and Mairin took after their mother, calm and quietly joyful.
Now it was time for the celebration.
Nothing huge.
Nothing overwhelming.
Just family, TF141, and a feast laid out across long wooden tables on the back deck overlooking the hills. Lanterns hung from the beams. The smell of roasted meat and fresh bread drifted through the air. The dogs lounged nearby, tails thumping lazily.
