It was no secret that Molly was implosive. She started a home business of selling cats and dogs without knowing what she was doing and because of that she was almost dead broke and struggling.
Dead broke or not maybe she worded her flyers wrong because a woman dropped off a newborn baby.
Molly races to the store to get the baby some things. She was only 21 and didn't know anything about raising a human.
???: Excuse me ma'am, is this cat for sale?
Molly: NO.
Okay maybe she had some work to do with getting too attached to animals, it was one of the reasons her business was failing.
AN: I didn't know sims could breastfeed! Especially since this isn't her real baby.
The dogs finally give birth to some pups but by this point Molly was over this business.
Monicas business was doing well. She constantly sold out of her fruits and vegetables.
It was hard to maintain the store and the garden at once and since her and Eric had started messing around her only and best employee, Tess, couldn't work for her anymore.
Though it was well known that she was Eric mistress, Nancy was such a classy lady and even stopped by her apartment to introduce herself.
Nancy: I know this must be awkward but I have no ill will towards you and it was my husband that stepped out on me not you.
Monica: Does this mean you will let Tess come back to work for me?
Nancy laughing: Oh god no. She needs to focus on her schooling.
October 2020 - Walker Family; Eric is 40, Nancy is 39, Tess is 15
Tess and Nancy had a weird relationship. Tess had always been closer to her father and his free spirit oppose to her mother who was way to up tight.
Nancy: Marriage is the most important part of life and I expect you to take it serious.
Tess just rolls her eyes at her mother. If Nancy got her way she would marry her off to one of her friends.
Tess was very popular, she often had friends coming over at all hours of the night much to her mother horror.
Nancy didn't have the strength to fight her daughter on the matter however because she was sure she was pregnant and the pregnancy was kicking her ass.

September 2020 - Walker Family;Eric is 40, Nancy is 39, Tessis 15
The Walkers had been saving for quite a while. They had a good chunk saved up but they soon found out it was nowhere near the amount they needed for the Mall.
Nancy: I'm sorry you said 200,000?
Raye: Yes ma'am. Due to you alls income you will have to each take out 100.000. I am so sorry for the inconvenience.
Eric: Can we have a moment to discuss this?
Raye: Of course.
The couple talks it over and decides they should easily be able to pay off the loans before Tess has to go to college. They come back and tell the woman they will do it.
They head out to eat, their relationship had been strained for a while but they needed to keep up appearances. Nancy cared too much what other people thought of them. The dinner is nice though they know it will be their last for a while. 200.000 thousand in debt is nothing to scoff at.
Eric was less worried about the opinions of others though and often made it a point to embarrass his wife whenever possible.
Tess knew her parents had just taken out a huge loan and wanted to help them. The community garden had just been re bought and Tess went over to see if she could maybe get a job. The lady was really sweet and hired her on the spot. She was really busy and couldn't man the register, sell to customer, tend to the plants, and restock at the same time.
Being hired on the spot had its perks but also its' downfalls. Monica put her right to work and basically threw Tess to the wolves.
Her first job was manning the register, she did okay for her first day but a lot of customers got angry.
Tess: That will be 15 dollars
???: For some fruit? No way!
Tess flustered: Oh I'm sorry ma'am, I rang it up wrong. Today is my first day.
Eric used the time his daughter worked to try to rekindle his relationship with his wife but most times it failed. The few times he was able to get his wife in the mood she always wanted to rush it, she saw sex as a dirty act and that frustrated Eric to no end.
The next morning Nancy gets the mail and almost throws up her breakfast. There first loan has come in and in total they owe 6000 dollars. Tess can't believe her eyes. They hadn't even started the Mall yet, which meant zero profit.
Monica woke up early in the morning, she had to get to the bank to buy her new community lot. It was a wonderful plot of land that had natural fruits and veggies growing on it. She was surprise no one had bought it yet.
Monica gets to the bank just as they are opening and get in an office in under 10 minutes.
Goopy: So Miss Beetree, what can I do for you?
Monica: I would like to buy the community gardens.
Goopy: It comes with some attachments. Like you can't get rid of the plants ever and if you want to sell it you have to sell it back to the bank, you cannot sell it to another person. Do you understand and agree with that?
Monica nods her head and signs the paperwork. It cost her 15,000 dollars but at least now she had a way to make some money.
Monica heads out of the bank with her head held high, she was now a proud business owner!
Right over to the business she discovers it has a ticket booth. Whoever owned this place before her obviously didn't make much money and with a ticket booth they were not going to make much. She gets on her phone to order a counter and register. She planned to sell the fruits and veggies she grew.
After a long and exhausting day at her new business, Monica is happy to be home. She met a lot of new people but there was one she couldn't get her mind off of. He was very handsome and she hoped he came back to the shop.
The next morning Monica could feel the fall breeze start to roll in. She headed to the mall to buy a nice sweater with the bit of money she received yesterday at her shop.
Showered and fresh Monica headed to the garden. She got a call that the counter and register had been delivered and she couldn't wait to turn off that ticket machine.
Business was even better today with the fresh lemons on display. She still had much to learn in the art of service and sells but she was a fast learner.
Molly had been out all night looking for strays, her feet hurt and she was out of treats. She decided to head to Makos' which was only 2 blocks from her current location.
Makos' was under new management, which meant it was missing quite a bit but the coffee was hot and strong and would help Molly walk the 23 blocks home.
Molly finally makes it home just past 3 am and heads straight to bed. She wasn't able to find anymore strays tonight but there was always tomorrow.
Two hours into her sleep, she hears the two strays she had gotten to come home with her a week prior, outside being loud. It was probably time to get up and feed them their breakfast.
Molly rolls over to check her alarm clock and sees it's 5 am.
Molly: Got damn it.
She doesn't stay mad long as she sees them rolling in puddles and being cute.
Just as Molly is getting to the last few bowls the sun comes up and she throws her dreams of going back to sleep out the window. She really needed to do better with her time management.
