Dunes Family

Molly Dunes, 22  / Richard Dunes, 9 Months / Cathy Riley, 24

July 2021 (Summer)

Molly was taking care of Richard when the doorbell rang. 

"Who could that be puppet?"  The chubby baby babbled at her.

Upon opening the door she found her girlfriend Cathy.

"Hey Baby. I didn't know you were coming over today." Molly had been feeling sick lately, with the baby and all. Cathy was so understanding about what she did for some extra cash. 

"I came here to check on my girlfriend and see if you needed anything." It was no little thing for Cathy to come all the way from SimCity to Spring Valley. That was an hour ride away so something must be up. 

Molly soon found out what it was. 

"Love, with you being pregnant I don't like living so far from you. I've been looking at some commercial property down here and I think I found the perfect art gallery. I want to move down here to Spring Valley."

"Move here? OH MY GOD YES. You can move in with me!"

"Are you sure? I don't want to burden you. I know you have the little ones and that can be a lot on you."

"I said what I said!"

It was official. Cathy lived with Molly.

Take A Peek was up and running by the end of the month. There wasn't much to it as of now but Cathy was hopeful that one day she would have a rooftop bar and more walls.  

After Death

Foremen Family

Charles, 35/ Maine, 10/ Mike, 2/ Emelia Barron, 19

June 2021 (Summer)

Told by Maine

It was my birthday this month. I can't say I was excited about it. I really really missed my mom but everyday was getting easier. I guess you become numb to the pain after a while. 

My daddy got me a cat to 'deal with the pain'. I named  her Stinky. She is so dang cute. 

The cat was sweet if not a little crazy. She made a good addition to our family. 

\ 

I tried to convince my dad to let me start wearing makeup since I was 10 now but he just laughed at me. He said try again when I was a teenager. 

Without my mommy the house was a bit hectic. My baby brother often fell asleep in the cat's basket. 

The house was often full though. People still came over to check up on us and give there respects to my mom. I wonder how long that was going to last for?

At least my dad was doing good at his job...

He came home early from work with a promotion. Now we had the same schedule and I would get to see him more often which made me so happy. 

My dad keeps saying the cat is for my emotional support but I think it's more for his. Honestly him and that cat are best friends. I wanted a puppy.

SimNaNo Update 6

Things are moving along.

Blackwater Family

Nova Blackwater, Adult/ Jeremy Scott(Blackwater), 20/ Margie Houser, 35 / Amy Houser, 3

June 2021 (Summer)

Told by Nova Blackwater

The past few months had been boring. No matter what me and Jeremy did we couldn't get pregnant. I was getting concerned about it. I also forgot to tell everyone what our LTWs are. 

Mine is to be a Seamstress. I want to own a shop and sell my creations in it. 

My Husband was to max 3 skills. 

My husband and I finally fell in love. Maybe this would help us baby make. 

At least one good thing came from no children yet, I got a promotion. That money would go straight towards my Lifetime want. 

Little Amy is still as cute as ever. You can almost always find her giggling and laughing. 

My werewolf was usually tied to some skilling object. He really wanted to max his LTW before we had too many children. Who knew how our first born would come out. If it wasn't a female vampire we would have to try again.

My bloodslave slept a lot. I didn't know what this meant but I hopped it didn't mean she was sick. My house must stay in tiptop shape.

Her LTW btw is Master Mixologist. She wants to own a bar. We are saving up for that now. 

At 3, you would think Amy would have walking down but I often catch Margie teaching little Amy. It is very concerning and makes me wonder how Margie will fair with my children when the time comes. 

Finally towards the end of the month I started throwing up. I never throw up so it could only mean one thing. 

I indeed was pregnant. 

*****************************************************************

On the second to last day of June, Margie turned 35. She headed out to the store for a birthday cake but things didn't go how she wanted. 

She first went to the Community Garden for some lemons..

But when she went over to Walker Grocery for the rest of the shopping list, Nancy Walker just started yelling at her. Margie couldn't figure out what she had done to piss the woman off so she put the items back and left. 

But Nancy followed her outside and proceeded to yell at her. Margie was so embarrassed and cried to herself all the way home. 

I was livid of course and vowed to change the course of Nancy Walker and Families life. 

Margie's birthday wasn't all bad. I allowed her to bring a friend over as long as they kept it down. I felt so sick and hated being pregnant. Jesus do I hope this is a girl vampire.

********************************************************************************************

My husband gets home with another pitiful check for 70 dollars. That wasn't going to pay the bills or start 2 businesses. I pressured my husband into getting another job.

I finally got another promotion, THANK GOD. These hours aren't the best though. I am a vampire and we burn in the sum you know. 

Margie often makes me laugh. She does some crazy things when she is bored. Like now, she is spying on the neighbors and saw something haunting. 

Whatever she saw pissed off the one person Margie actually got along with. Her name is Monica Beetree and even though she tries to hide it with her hair she is very obviously an Elf. It's been ages since I've seen one of those. 

My bloodslave birthday ends with some paper plane flying. This month sure has been more interesting then the last. 

With Jeremy new job and more money we were able to by Margie a bar. I want her to be happy too. 

Maybe I jumped the gun, training a toddler is hell and hard as hell.

SimNaNo Update 5

Second Times A Charm?

Walker Family

Nancy Walker, 39 / Tess Walker, 16 / Mason Walker, 0 / Liam Walker, 0

June 2021 (Summer)

The labor was long and hard but Eric was there the whole time, making jokes and getting Nancy through it. After 22 hours of labor Mason and Liam Walker made an appearance into the world. Two healthy twin boys. Eric had shut his phone off after the 15th call from Monica. He had too much on his plate to deal with her right now. He was a new dad again, but this time to twins. 

Two days in the hospital and finally back at Nancy's house Eric was ready for some sleep. The twins weren't fussy per-say but they were a lot to deal with. Eric wanted Nancy to get all the rest she could. She did an amazing job birthing his boys and if he was being honest with himself, seeing her give birth made him fall for her all over again. 

Tess was adapting well to the twins, even if they kept her up at night. She seemed a lot less angry all the time and even made a new friend; Noah Blackwater. 

Tess: Good God Liam, you stink!  Tess could only laugh at her cute little brother. She loved being a sister, it brought her purpose.

Eric had been super supportive lately. He has really come through with the Twins. He even helps Nancy by cooking and giving back massages. 

Nancy: Eric.. You've been here for 5 days now sleeping on my couch. When are you going to go home?

Eric: About that.... I broke up with Monica and well, I don't have anywhere to go. I've been looking for a place to stay but I kind of don't want to leave the twins or Tessy again. 

Nancy looked at him in complete shock. He hadn't told her he ended things with Monica. Part of her didn't believe it. 

Nancy: You ended things with Monica? When? 

Eric: I sent her a text yesterday about us needing to talk and she told me she was busy to just say it now so I did and yeah. It's over for us. I want my family back. I am so deeply sorry Nance. I cannot believe I gave all this up for some 20 something with no sense of family. I love you and I want all this back. 

Nancy: Rick, you would have to be stupid, dumb, or high to believe I would take you back so easily after what you put me through. You can stay in the spare bedroom for now and we will SLOWLY work things out. 

Eric: Deal!

Eric felt like he was walking on clouds. This was his chance to prove everything to his Nancy and prove to her how sorry he was. He wasn't going to mess this up ever again.

SimNaNo Update 4

Well, That Was Quick

Beetree Household

Eric Walker, 40 / Monica Beetree, 26

May 2021 (Spring)

Eric: Hey baby, we gotta get that spare room cleared out.

Monica was in no mood. She had just gave out 800 dollars to that sleazy landlord just so she could move. She didn't want to think about the extra expense of having her boyfriend's kid live here. 

Monica: For why Eric?

Eric looks at Monica like she had grown another head. They bought this place so they would be closer to his daughter and soon to be born kid. They also got a 2 bedroom house so that Tess could live with them. He was really confused as to what she meant by for what. 

Eric: Seriously? Tess is suppose to be moving in by June. July at the latest. Did you forget?

Monica: *Sigh* No I didn't forget. I-I just don't think that's a good idea right now.

Eric: And why not?

Monica: Because we've only been together for 6 months and I just don't want the responsibility of YOUR kids. They have a mother, let them live there. 

Eric was taken back. She had never brought this up before so why was this a problem now? He couldn't believe he was hearing this. 

Eric: I cannot believe this right now. I've got to go. 

Eric calls the only person who he knows will understand. Even though divorced him and his ex wife had been on really great terms lately. They talked often and he was always there for his babe to be. 

Eric: So, yeah. I literally cannot believe that. Like, when she met me she knew I had a daughter.. Yet she says that? We've been talking about it for months now. Why didn't she say something about it then. You know what? It doesn't even matter because the relationship is done. I will NOT be with somebody who doesn't like my children. 

Nancy sat quietly and listened. She had her own opinions of Monica but she would keep them to herself. That wasn't the kind of friend he needed right now. 

Nancy: So, the question is what are you going to tell our daughter?

Eric: I don't even know Nance. That is the part that breaks my heart. She likes Monica and she wants to live with me but I'm about to be homeless. The worst part about all of this, I feel like I made a mistake. I really thought she was the one. Now look at me, almost 50 and single. I gave my family up for a bitch.

Nancy did everything in her power to hold her laughter in, but in the end the laughter won out. 

Eric: What the hell is so funny? I just poured my heart out to you. 

Nancy: First off, you are no where near 50 you dramatic smuk. Secondly; Soulmates? You are entirely too old to believe in something that fucking stupid. You're having a midlife crisis, sure, but soulmates? You've got to be kidding me. Try being 40 and pregnant and newly divorced. 

Eric starts laughing with her. Damn if his ex wife didn't have a point. 

Eric: Valid points Nance, Valid. 

There conversation was cut short when Nancy's' water broke. 

Nancy: Eric, we have a problem

Eric: It's times like these I wish my name was Huston.

They rushed to the hospital, texting Tess to bring the baby bag.

A Mistake?

Dunes Household

`Molly Dunes, 22 / Richard Dunes, 7 months

May 2021 (Spring)

Told by Molly

For the love of god can I please get my life together. I know the last time yall saw me I was in that one bedroom beach house and a world of debt but I got evicted. I couldn't afford the rent and bills. Now me and Richie are in a trailer on gov assistance. 

I also had to look for a new job. I work part time as a journalist now. Life in the trailer hasn't been all bad though. The place is nice and I can add on to it when I get the money. 

I've made some really great friends here too. Me and DJ don't even talk anymore but I met my neighbor, Cathy.

She is a ball of fun I tell you. She is always making me laugh and never judges me about my disorder, unlike some people I know. 

********************************************************************************

I know I shouldn't have but I was lonely. I asked Cathy out on a date and she accepted. The accepting part shocked the hell out of me. We planned to meet when I had off and I was going to cook for her. 

Cathy: These chicken wings are amazing M. You are an amazing cook. But I always tell you that. You should open up a restaurant. 

Molly: And everytime you tell me I tell you I don't know the first thing about running a business. Besides, I'm broke. 

Cathy: Oh come onnnnn. It doesn't have to be anything big right now. Just a little stall that you sell your plates out of. Think about it.

I heard Cathy loud and clear and really started thinking about it. We talked well past when the food was done and call me crazy but by Cathy actions I'd say her feelings for me had been there for a long time. 

Like I said, I was lonely. I couldn't wait to see Cathy again. 

*****************************************************************************

By day I work at Sim News, but by night I moonlighted at the Sketchy Bar. Yes that was really the name of it. 

I spent as much time as possible with my baby boy before the baby sitter came. The door bell going off alerted us to her arrival. 

Molly: Lets go greet the baby sitter my big boy. 

It was hard for me to believe he was already 7 months. 

The babysitter was a cute teenage girl. Richie seemed to take to her almost immediately. 

Molly: Okay, he has already had his dinner but he takes a bottle at bedtime. Speaking of bedtimes his is at 830. He sleeps through the night with no issue.

Elise: I got it Ms. Dunes. Richie and I will be just fine. Wont we big boy. Yes, yes we will. 

Richard started blowing spit bubbles and it took everything I had to leave him. 

Coworker: You are late Ms. Lady. I laugh at my co worker. She was always getting on me about being late but she always covered for me. She was a great friend. 

The night went off without a hitch, well almost. A strange man approached me and gave me a card. Told me if I wanted to make some extra money to call the number. I didn't know how I felt about it but what the heck. 

I did end up calling that number. He took me to a lab on the outskirts of town and told me he would pay be a 1000 dollars a month if I let him get me pregnant and then he would pay me child support of 500 a month for 18 years.. I couldn't say no to that kind of money. I needed it, for me and my son. I accepted his offer. 

Don't judge too hard. I had 50 dollars to my name and didn't have work for 3 days. Not to mention, I only made 250 from this job a night and all of that was going to bills.
