Vale Reilly Bray, Baby 40

Reilly's parents at GeekCon.  That would be Arden Westbrook and Brant Hecking.
I had been trying for their whole lifetimes to get the Heckings to donate to my cause.  The previous baby was Brent's and then, for my 31st pregnancy, now-elder Brant finally agreed. 
Pregnant!
Here he is!  Baby 40, Reilly Bray, was born.
Being held by big brother Rhys.
Reilly as a toddler.  He had the Inquisitive trait.
Reilly (right) and his half-/step-sister Ottilie looking absolutely adorable in their raincoats.
Reilly rejecting a hug from poor Ottilie.
Time for Reilly's birthday!
Reilly as a child.  He had the Genius trait and Whiz Kid aspiration.  It was obvious that he was another one of my sons who looked just like me!
On our very first Winterfest, Reilly was lucky enough to get a present from Father Winter.
It was an experimenting station but on the first go it caught fire!
Hugging Mum.
Reilly and Harry at Finn's wedding.
Hugs with little brother Beckett.
Reilly's birthday!
And he grew up looking like a member of Coldplay!
Reilly as a teen!  He gained the Bookworm trait and his aspiration was Nerd Brain.  He looked a lot like his older brothers who had come before him, specifically Asher and Hugo.  It was apparent that he had a little bit of Brant in him, though, and even chose the same hairstyle.
Birthday time for Reilly!
Baby 40, Reilly Bray, as a young adult.  He gained the Self-Assured and Responsible traits.  He also joined the Doctor career, the first of my children to have a profession!
Decorating the tree with his siblings: Scarlett, Reilly, Finn and Ottilie.
Reilly eating.
Doing a bro hug with Beckett.  My sons always greet each other like this, whether they have the Bro trait or not!
Baby 40, Reilly and Baby 41, Harry, could almost be identical twins!  Reilly and Ottilie moved out together.
With sisters Ottilie and Esme.
Reilly as an elder at Zoe's wedding.
I had the misfortune of witnessing poor Reilly's death in my own gym.  I think he overworked himself in the gym, as he died before his older sister Ottilie.  I think I may need to remove exercise as an activity for our family club to prevent this happening to my elderly children/grandchildren again (it's happened twice now).  
Rest in peace, sweet boy.
