Teer 2 (R10)

Last round, Wesley and Jeannie both went on a lot of dates with other sims, and eachother. Jeannie kept working her way up the Slacker career ladder and Wesley made it to the top of the Showbiz career and filled up his lifetime aspiration bar as a result. Will Wes and Jeannie keep seeing other people this round or will they slip back into the monogamous ways? Lets see

Jeannie was feeling strange, she kept having to run to the bathroom to toss her cookies and thought she had a monster case of food poisoning

A few weeks later she realized that it wasn't food poisoning at all... she was pregnant!

She was slightly worried that the baby didn't belong to Wesley... but figured that as long as the baby wasn't born with flaming red hair like her lover, Jack Coper, she would be in the clear

Wesley didn't seem to mind, he and Jeannie went about life the way they normally did. When they were both home at the same time, the had home dates to keep themselves in a good mood. Wesley even seemed to be more devoted to Jeannie during her pregnancy

Wesley finally managed to find a job in his dream career... it was a relief since they weren't getting any younger

Wesley did very well in the Culinary career, everyone wanted to eat in a restaurant owned by a celebrity. It didn't take Wesley long to reach the top of the career ladder and become a Celebrity Chef!

One evening after Wesley arrived home and had begun his nightly workout, Jeannie went into labor

Wes was working out so hard on the exercise bike that he didn't even realize what was going on until he heard the cry of a baby behind him

Jeannie gave birth to a lovely little girl with brown eyes and her grandfather, Clayton's, brown hair, they named her Wendy

Jeannie and Wesley were still on opposing schedules despite his career change. The benefit was that they wouldn't have to hire a nanny to care for Wendy during the day... the drawback was that Wesley really had no idea how to care for an infant... he didn't consider himself parent material. To help out while Jeannie was at work, Wesley frequently invited family over. One afternoon his brother, Addison and the family stopped by... Wes figured Stella would be able to help him if Wendy needed attention

Wesley socialized with his nieces a while until they got bored and went inside to play some Mary Mack in the kitchen

While the girls were inside keeping themselves busy, Wes, Addie and Stella caught up in the hot tub. Addie and Stella offered some tips for Wes to help Wendy grow up to be a well adjusted young lady... They weren't very good a hiding their concern for Wesley and Jeannie's parenting skills

After Addison, Stella and family had left, Jeannie returned home with another promotion under her belt. She was certainly becoming a Jack of all Trades

Jeannie decided to leave Wendy in Wesley's care a little bit longer and called up the Mailman, Pao, with whom she had had many interactions during her pregnancy for an outing to the Silvervale Boardwalk

Pao was clearly smitten with Jeannie and she made no attempts to dissuade him from pursuing her... in fact, she encouraged it by relentless flirting. It didn't take her long to convince Pao to join her in the photobooth

It was hard to deny that there was more than just photos being taken in the booth... anyone who has ears could tell what was going on in there, the other boardwalk patrons cheered Jeannie and Pao when they stepped out of the booth

Jeannie figured that since she was already at the beach that she would do some sunbathing... it would be a more credible excuse to take home to Wesley if she had a little bit of a tan to show for it

Wendy was growing quickly, her parents hadn't managed to neglect her too badly and it was time for her to grow into a toddler where she would require even more attention and care.

Despite not being the most attentive parents in the world, it was hard to deny that Jeannie and Wes still loved Wendy, they just showed it a little differently, they were both excited to welcome Wendy into Toddlerhood

Wendy grew up highly resembling she even had sandy brown hair, instead of a dark brown

Wendy Vijayakar - Aries

Most of the child rearing responsibilities but, surprisingly, she didn't really mind it. She actually took pride in teaching Wendy how to walk and talk

Jeannie and Wesley agreed on a trade-off, since Wes was adverse to changing diapers, and everything baby related, he generally took care of the yard work and cleaning responsibilities around the house. He did so much work around the yard that fall that he earned a Gold Gardening badge

((Wes actually earned this in the garden, but I didn't get a shot until he was raking the leaves))

Aside from helping Wendy with her toddler skills, Jeannie still managed to excel in her job. She came home with another promotion when she went back to work after maternity leave

The constant promotions and dates gave Jeannie a huge boost in her mood, she was able to choose a secondary aspiration, for which she chose fortune

She also had been awarded so many aspiration points that she was able to max out her lifetime aspiration meter

Despite the perpetual good mood she was in, Jeannie was feeling a little under the weather. She attributed it to the stress from having to care for Wendy and work while Wesley did whatever he wanted

A few nights later she realized that she was pregnant again... She didn't know how it was possible, she and Wesley had been so busy and working entirely opposite schedules, they barely saw each other

When Jeannie went into labor again she realized how it had been possible that she had gotten pregnant again...

The baby girl, she named Phoebe, was born with piercing blue eyes, a color that neither she nor Wesley had in their families... she hoped Wes was too self absorbed to notice that the baby wasn't his

Scoring: (1 point for Wesley reaching TOC culinary, 1 point for Wesley fulfilling his LTW, 1 point for Wendy, 3 points for Jeannie maxing her LTA meter, 1 point for Phoebe)

Household Net-Worth:

((This house was sooooooooooo boring, it got played on super fast speed most of the time. I'm kinda happy there are kids in the house now though, Wendy is a cutie, except her face is somewhat scrunched in the toddler stage... I exported her and aged her up and they go away when she transitions into a child and looks almost exactly like Jeannie which is good b/c Jeannie is adorable. I guess it's pretty obvious who Phoebe's father is, since there weren't many dates this round, but I'll leave you hanging until I can get a shot of the family tree. I have a storyline brewing in my head now hopefully it plays out. We're going to check on the Wade's next [which I have yet to play] so stay tuned!))

Eich 2 (R10)

Last round at the Eich home, Angelica and her girlfriend Kana moved in with Aunt Tia. Angelica got pregnant but set herself on fire and lost the baby before she even knew she was expecting. Luckily Kana was also able to conceive a baby and her pregnancy was progressing into the end of the round. This round we'll have a baby and other things, lets check in

Eich 2 (lot 9) Monday-Saturday

Jar Card 96: Become a Vampire

Kana's pregnancy was progressing along a lot more smoothly than Angelica's had. One evening after dinner Kana felt a horrible pain and realized it was time for her to give birth

She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl with wide brown eyes and her grandmother Melody's brown hair. They named their beautiful daughter Zora

Kana took so much pride in her daughter that she didn't mind taking a few extra days off of work so that Angelica could continue her career in the military.

General Brittany had just stepped down and taken a move into politics, so the top military slot was open and Angelica was a prime candidate. Her superiors recognized this too and she was swiftly promoted to fill the vacancy left by Brittany.

New LTW: Have 20 Simultaneous Pet Best Friends

((Probably not going to happen))

The promotion to top of her career combined with the birth of Zora allowed Angelica to declare a secondary aspiration. Angelica grew up learning the love for Grilled Cheese from her father, so naturally she chose it as her secondary aspiration.

She wasn't the only member of the household that made it to the top of her career that day. Later in the evening, Tia came home with a promotion to Rock God... something she had been wishing for since she got a taste of the Celebrity life in the Culinary scene

To celebrate (and to give Angelica and Kana some alone time), Tia decided that she would head downtown to Crypt-O Nightclub and mingle with the locals.

At the club she ran into a regal looking woman with a faint hint of an ancient accent who introduced herself as a Countess

Tia was so intrigued with the Countess that she invited her back to the house. After some conversation, Kana managed to figure out that the Countess' intrigue came from her undead status

After a few nights of getting to know Countess Karen, Tia invited the Countess and her old lover, Mr. Big, Ryker over for a little get together. Tia was curious how the whole "Vampire thing" worked and Ryker was going to be her test subject... Countess Karen was only too happy to oblige

Now that Ryker had the Vampire intrigue it was hard for Tia to resist his charms. They fell back into their old habits easily...

Tia knew she was getting older ((3 days away from elder at this point)) and was eager to join the realm of the undead and never age again. Unfortunately it seemed that Countess Karen's appetite was satiated by her snack on Ryker... After some persistence, Tia was finally able to convince the Countess to turn her too

Now Tia would truly be able to call herself a man eater. She was pleased with her new form and the fact that she would never beyond her prime

Tia Eich -- Vampiress of the Night

((at this point I saved and exited out and downloaded a vampire overlay where they get to keep their original skintone and just have pink colored eyes))

Tia was relegated to the basement during the day, so the house was fairly quiet. Since she was at the top of her career, Angelica didn't have to put in many hours in the office. She spent a lot of time working in the garden and managed to earn her Gold Gardening badge

Having someone at home most days allowed Kana to go back to work. She got the opportunity to write a cookbook and her choice of newly-popular eastern cuisine allowed her to bring home a fat royalty check that would come in handy to help raise Zora

Zora was growing quickly, and one night after Aunt Tia was out of her coffin for the evening, Angelica and Kana decided to have a little household birthday party to welcome Zora into her toddler years

Zora grew up into an exceptionally lovely but somewhat mean little girl

Zora Wong - Gemini

Despite her mean streak, Angelica was delighted by Zora, she was so intelligent, and Angelica liked that Zora didn't seem as delicate as she did when she was a newborn. They could spend hours playing peak-a-boo or reading stories

Zora was as smart as a whip too. Both Angelica and Kana took turns teaching her toddler skills and before they knew it she was walking a talking like a little lady

One evening after putting Zora to bed, Angelica noticed that Kana was nowhere to be found. When she looked outside she noticed a faint efflorescent glow around the telescope and was horrified to think that what happened to her father, Darren, could happen to the love of her life also

Confirming Angelica's suspicions, a UFO unceremoneously dropped Kana off at the doorstep early the next morning

Later in the day, Kana began to feel the familiar pains of morning sickness. She was confused how she could become pregnant when she and Angelica hadn't been intimate since Zora's birth

Angelica told Kana the story of Darren's abduction and how Darren gave birth to her sister Anise who is of extraterrestrial origin as well. Kana was relieved but also afraid of the little green baby growing inside of her.

Angelica thought of something that would distract her, she decided to make honest women of them both and got down on her knee and proposed to Kana right on the spot

They decided to get married right then and there.

Angelica and Kana were happy, life was good

Scoring: 4.5 points (1 point for Zora, 1 point for Angelica's TOC Military, 1 point for Angelica achieving her LTW, 1 point for Tia's TOC Music, .5 point for Angelica's Gold Gardening Badge)

Household Net-Worth:

((Well I was considering making Tia a vampire anyway so I took the jar card slip as a sign that my thinking was correct and that Tia was supposed to be vamped. I don't know if she'll continue living in this house or not. I had a hard time making Tia stay in her coffin during the day, everytime the phone rang or the doorbell rang she wanted to get out and go answer it. She almost died when Kana got dropped off from the UFO because she wouldn't go back inside! There are now snapdragons around the coffin to boost her needs just in case. Zora is lovely I can't wait for her to grow up :) As far as Kana's abduction, it was completely unintended and unplanned. She needed 2 logic points for a promotion at work and since the household was pretty much nocturnal from Tia's late night meetings with the Countess the telescope was the way she was going to get them. I didn't even notice Kana was gone until her portrait dipped into red then I looked and she had the abducted tooltip in her queue. I'm kinda bummed though that the Eich namesake will have no actual Eich genes... Zora has the Wong surname... perhaps Angelica and Kana will have to try for a biological boy the Eich's do make some damn good looking children afterall... We're going to check on Wesley and Jeannie next stay tuned!))
