Umm, when did that happen?

June, Summer 2015, AJ Christian and Lilly Sanchez are both 21.5, and Ivy is 1.5.


Narrated: Lilly





"My life hasn't changed much since graduation. I still have to get up early to take care of Lilly, but I no longer have to dash off to my afternoon classes. But between potty training..."

Like sands in an hour glass

Mini Update








They sit in the living room, nervous. Judgement day has finally come for Viggo and Cameron. Well, mainly Cameron. Cynthia gave her an ultimatum, she had two weeks to tell her parents or Cynthia would.


Cameron finally caved, and asked if it would be okay to invite Viggo and his parents over. She didn't elaborate, just that there was something she needed to speak with her parents about, and it involved Viggo's parents as well.

It's Ironic

January, Winter 2013, Trisha Johnson is 41, Clay is 40, Breda and Dallas are both 9. (Last updated Winter of 2009.)





Things for the Johnson's have been going well. Trisha and Clay decided to stop actively trying for a baby, and getting fertility treatments are out of the question.

Adoption has been the only option that seems the best course of action for them. And so with the basic paper work filled out, Trisha carries on as if everything is normal. Getting the twins breakfast ready.

They play once they are dressed and waiting for their mommy to finish up with their bowls of cereal.

Breda is currently telling her brother how she's going to become a famous movie star one day, and he'll be able to watch her win an award.

Yeah, if she's going to be a an actress, then Dallas is going to be a race car driver.

But Trisha has to stop in the middle of what she is doing and make a mad dash to the hall bath room. She smiles a little. The last time she threw up in the morning only meant one thing.

Trisha schedules an appointment with her doctor. What she suspects is confirmed. She's pregnant! This is wonderful news.

They have tired for so long and it didn't seem as if she and Clay would be able to have another child, but now, they were. She couldn't wait so share the good news.

She heads into Steppin' Out, to tell her sister, Tosha, the good news. She hasn't been to the store since the opening of the Serenity Day Spa, but from the looks of it, Tosha is letting things slip. Trisha needs to speak to her about naked shoppers coming out of the dressing rooms. And just what was he doing in that dressing room, Trisha wonders.

Heather Reed stops by for a visit. She's still a little upset over Nora's little "accident," and she worries about what her daughter is up to instead of working on getting her education.

Trisha tries her best to put her place in her friend's shoes. But she can not imagine becoming a mother while still in college, let alone the grandmother who is stuck raising the child until the mother graduates.

But she tells Heather not to worry so much. Even though Nora messed up, she is a good girl, and she'll do what she has to to finish college and graduate.

"She better. We were already broke before she went to college, and now, with an extra mouth to feed, and paying tuition. We are barley scrapping by." Heather says.

Nora better not mess up, or the girl is coming home for good!

As Trisha makes some tea Heather can't help but think about her granddaughter. She loves Ebony, and that's why she's going to make sure Nora does right by that baby.

They hug good bye and Trisha gets started on dinner.

Clay offers to make dinner, but Trisha tells him that she can handle it. He's thrilled. No, ecstatic with the news she shared with him after Heather left.

He can't believe it, they are actually having another baby. Well, he hopes it's only one. They are deeply in debt with this house and the Spa, so having another set of twins is out of the question. There's no way they can afford a bigger home.

Dallas practices his almost non existing piano skills as he waits for dinner.

And Breda plays with the cat.

"I can't wait to meet the new baby. I hope mommy has a girl, because boys have icky germs, and they're smelly. I don't want another icky, smelly brother." Breda says.

"I can't wait to meet the baby either. But is it really nice to say your brother is smelly?" Clay asks jokingly.

Breda ponders the question for a moment then nods her head in agreement. "Yes, he really is."

Dallas takes the opportunity and hits her in the head with a piece of chicken.

Trisha cleans up humming to herself. Things are starting to take a turn for the better. First this surprise pregnancy, and second, hopefully, the day spa will finally take off. If not, they will have to sale it.

***

Wow, I hadn't realized how longs it's been (in sim years) since I last updated them. See, I had thought there was a more recent update. Serenity Day Spa isn't doing so well. I guess it's harder to run a spa than it is to run a clothing shop, and for Clay and Trisha I don't have the time to keep playing around trying to see what works best.

They are really broke. Lovely home, great business, but just like real life sometimes, there is hardly anything in the bank. They spent their savings as a down payment on their home. So if the spa doesn't turn around soon then they will have to sale it. But Steppin' Out is doing fine, so no worries there. ;)

Do you know how surprised I was to find her puking her brains out? Well I did a happy dance. LOL I actually gave up on them getting pregnant, since she's now 41 and he's 40. But I guess my game decided that it would reward them for their efforts in making a baby. *yay* And so far there is no twins. But this happened to me before, said there was only one baby and then two popped out. So I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Baby Johnson is due June of 2013.

As of nude man in the dressing rooms. Man, that Joker's Wild masturbation mod makes my sims extra horny. LOL I've noticed that some of them will pleasure themselves anywhere. And yes, Lana in the background, did not approve of his actions at all.

Small announcements

Fall, October 2011, Tommy and Asia Ottamas are 25 (Nora Reed is 19, Heather is 49, Brandon is 47, Anan is 10 and Justin is 25. Sharla Ottamas is 28)




"We should gather the family to tell them." Tommy says over breakfast.




Asia smiles. "Yeah, I think it's time that we do. If we keep it a secret any longer I think my mom and dad will be pissed."




"And can you picture my mom?" Tommy add. Asia pauses and drops her fork back on it's plate. Samantha Ottamas. She hadn't thought about how she would react.





They gather the whole Reed/Ottamas clam into their home. What looks spacious to the two of them, soon seems over crowed with everyone in attendance. Sharla even brings little Jordan out to see everyone one. But this is an important family meeting so everyone came. (everyone was there but I lost the pics. I have no idea how.)





Heather rubs her daughter's belly. She is so excited. This is their first grand baby and she can't wait until he or she is born.


"Why didn't you tell us sooner?" She questions her daughter, as she continues to rub her stomach.


"We wanted to wait. Just to make sure everything was okay. We didn't want everyone to be overjoyed at the news then something bad happened."


Heather frowns. "Why would you think that something like that would happen."


Asia waves her mother off. "No reason. It's just statics. You never know what could happen." What happened in college has stayed between Asia and her husband. No one else knows and she plans to keep it that way.




Anan isn't so sure that it's safe for a four month pregnant person to be dancing like that. So she just stands and watches her sister, hoping that she doesn't break anything.





"I'm totally going to ace my mid terms. I mean, so far college is a piece of cake." Nora boasts. "Yeah, it sure is." Asia agrees, thinking back to her college days.





Some how the subject turns to Nora's love life and she reluctantly mentions Caster. "There's this one guy, but he's a pig. I thought we liked each other. We spent all night talking and hanging out, but then he never called me again. And to make matters worse. He's going around telling everyone that we slept together."




"He said what?!" Tommy asks. Nora's older brother Justin drops his fork and stares at her. He was going to kill this guy. A little trip to campus was in order.


"Yeah, I don't get why he would say that. We didn't even kiss." She quickly says before eating her slice of cake.





"I don't care how hot this guy is, I'm going to kill him. Do you want me to kill him, Nora?"

Nora only laughs at Tommy. Family can be so over protective. But the idea of seeing Caster beat to a pulp would be nice.




"No, I'm serious. Want me and your brother to pay a little visit to his dorm?"

Nora starts to laugh. "No, and he's a frat guy. He doesn't live in the dorms. But let's just drop it, okay." With that she gets up from the table. All this talk of Caster has made her start feeling queasy.




Justin and Sharla have been swooning over each other for a looooong time. In sim years it's been around five so far. As to date nothing has happened, thought I will note, that during the family party they tried to slip off upstairs, but I have Tommy and Asia's bedroom door locked. So no sexy times happened yet.

Little baby Ottamas is due June 2012.

Family time

September, Fall 2011, Mansur Sanchez is 33, Fatima is 32, Alani is 2.5 and, Salma is 7 months old.

(Mary Snowden is 19, Antwan is 58, Taffi is 57, Kristin Sanchez is 58 and, Danny Sanchez is 59)




"We haven't been on a vacation in a long time. So I was thinking we should pay a visit to the mountains." Mansur suggested.




Fatima liked the idea. The last trip they took was to the Far East and that was their senior high school class trip. That was years ago. "Yeah, that sounds like a wonderful idea. I could even ask mom and dad to watch the girls for us."




With the vacation booked Fatima called her folks inviting them over for dinner. It's always nice to feed someone before you ask them to watch your kids for a week so you could get away.




Mansur dances with Alani. She loves when her daddy plays with her and her laughter fills the living room.




Everyone is invited over for dinner and Mary tags along. She can't help it, she's in love with her baby nice Salma. She holds her every chance she gets. Mary can't wait until she becomes a mother and has one of her own.




"You need more seasonings on those prawns if you want them to taste good." Taffi says walking out of the kitchen.

Fatima looks at her in surprise. That was the only draw back to having your mother over for dinner. She's always offering or telling you how to cook.




Clearly Antwan feels the same way. Regardless, he'll eat his daughter's cooking no matter what. That's what dads do.




"You need to give me pointers on how to cook without burning it. I don't think Marchon wants to live off take out his while life." Mary says watching her sister cook.

Fatima laughs. "There's no special art to cooking. And you even end up burning a pot of water. There really is no hope."

Mary playfully rolls her eyes. "Thanks for the vote of confidence."





"So how is school going?" Fatima asks.




"Great! I'm having a blast and meeting all sorts of new people. And classes are challenging too! And did I mention the parties? Awesome!"




But college isn't all about parties, Mary. You're there to get life skills that will help you land your dream job." Fatima tells her little sister.




"OMG! Really? I didn't know that." Mary mocks surprise. "Seriously, Fatima, I'm not some old shoe like you. I'm having fun but keeping my grades up. There's nothing wrong with letting your hair down a bit."




Fatima doesn't agree. But clearly Mary is sharing a moment with her dad, she turns and smiles at him.




He smiles back. "College isn't all hard work. I'm sure you had your fun too Fatima. Don't jump down your sister's back for her having her share."




The rest of the extended family soon shows up. And little Alani starts to ask Grandpa Danny for more hard candies. "You ate them all, kiddo." He says.




Yeah, I think he's a bit made at that fact too. He wanted all the candies for himself.





Mary is still hogging Salma all to herself.




And Fatima tells Kristin how she plans to plate some flowers up on the roof top for next summer.

****

Well there's only two reasons why Fatima would be bent over the toilet. And we know there was no drinking at the party. So their vacation plans are put on hold. Baby Sanchez the third is due June 2012. For Mansur and Fatima being Knowledge sims they sure to try for baby a lot. They tried for all three on their own. After this one Fatima is going on birth control. Now they'll have to move. Their brownstone is too small for three kids and two adults.

Mary wouldn't leave Slama alone. Soon as she was done eating she picked her back up. I think she's getting those motherly urges. LOL Well she has to hold on. There are no babies in her future just yet!
