Chapter 1.10


     It was late when the phone rang.
     "Hey Kiran, how are you?" Jaessana answered it.
     "Jae?"
     Jaesanna stopped, concerned by the pain in Kiran's voice.  "What is it?  Talk to me Kiran."
     "It's mum."

                                      


     It's mum.  The words kept going round and round in her head.  She smiled as Dromy arrived at the house the next day.
     "What's wrong?  Is Persephone there? Let me talk to her."
     "She's in the hospital Jae.  She," he stopped, choking on a sob, "she tried to kill herself."
     "Where are you Kiran?  Is Dromy alright?"
     That night was horrible as she talked to doctors, to police, to social workers and even more doctors.  Trying to calm Kiran and comfort Dromy.  Everado was her rock, keeping her grounded while the world was in chaos.
     Persephone had fallen apart after Alfans' death.  Kiran had done his best to take care of her and Dromy but she fell deeper and deeper into her depression until she could no longer function.  It was decided that Kiran who was now an adult would go on to University and Dromy would live with Jaessana and Everado.
 
     "Hey kiddo, how was the trip?"
     "Alright, I suppose."
     "Hey Dromy, welcome home," Everado said as he came out to meet her with Jaessana.
     "Thanks Everado."


     "How was your first day of school?" Jaessana asked as she helped Dromy with her homework.
     "It was good.  I met some new friends."
     "That's great.  That will be the sitter," she said standing up to answer the door, "my appointments coming up so I have to go now.  Everado will be back in two hours, there are some sandwiches in the fridge when you get hungry and I'll make dinner when I get back."
     "Ok Jae-jae, I'll see you when you get back."
     "Be good," Jaessana kissed the top of her head as she left.


     Jaessana arrived at El Hospital for her appointment with her doctor.  She left an hour later shocked and a bit scared.


     "How did the appointment go?" Everado smiled as he asked.
     Jaessana looked at him a little hesitant to talk.  "I-I'm not pregnant," she stuttered out.  "I-I-"
     Everado leaned forward and gripped her hand," breathe Jae.  Take a breath and hold it."
     Jaessana followed his advise and stopped for a moment.  As she held it she gripped his hand harder.
     "Something happened during our term at University.  My time meter, it changed, morphed, it," she struggled to find the words to explain it, "my time meter reset itself. I'm at the beginning of my Young Adult stage."
     "How," Everado began shocked.
     "The doctors don't know.  It's something that sometimes happens, they don't know how or why."
     They sat in silence for a time, Everado trying to process what she said, Jaessana trying to see if this changed how Everado saw her.
     "There are experimental treatments to fix this," she began.
     "No Jae, you know how bad such treatments are.  They don't usually work and sometime's they make it worse."
     "Everado, if I do nothing you will die before I even become an elder this way."
     "No. Jae promise me," he shook her hand, "promise me you won't try any such treatments."
     "I can't promise that. I have to try."


     The third day of treatment and Jaesanna felt some effect change in her.  Once the blue light faded and she floated back to the ground Jaessana looked at the changes to her body.  She blinked, then blinked again.  There are scales on my legs.  She touched the limb to test if what she was seeing was really there.  There are purple scales on my legs.


     The treatment didn't have the effect she had hoped, her time meter was still at the beginning of Young Adulthood but it also did not have the negative effects that they had feared.  It had unintended side effects though as she had been changed into a mersim.  It meant she spent a lot of time in the water and she had to make regular trips to the ocean to maintain a healthy tail, but she still lived a normal life.  She worked, she helped Dromy with homework, and Everado and she began to make plans to have children.

                                        

   
     "Everado, you there?" Jaessana called downstairs after hearing the front door open.
     "Yeah I'm going to the kitchen.  I missed my meal break at work."
     Jaessana met him in the kitchen as he made his way to the refrigerator.
     "I have news Everado," Jaessana said.  She felt the smile stretching her mouth like a court fool but she couldn't help it.
     "What is it," Everado asked as he opened the fridge to look at what was offered inside.
     "Well we'll be hearing, little steps in about a week."
     Everado turned to look at her.  "Are you saying.." he trailed off.
     Jaessana nodded.  "Yep, I'm pregnant."

     Everado let out a loud whoop as he swooped Jaessana up into his arms and kissed her soundly.
     "A baby.  Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?"
     "The doctors couldn't tell.  Do you want one or the other." she asked.
     "Either, as long as they're healthy."
     "You really don't have a preference, a secret wish?" she wheedled him.
     He laughed, "well if you're taking orders Mrs. Drimagard, a little girl just like you sounds just about perfect to me."
     "I'll see what I can do," she chuckled, kissing his cheek.

                                                                                                                                                  Random Ramblings (with my own theme song-think Rugrats intro music)

Ok so Chapter 10.  Wow I wasn't really sure I could reach it, but I did. Yay me.  Next goal 25.  Yeah so that's two surprises and kids on the way like I said last chapters ramble.  I used Lifetime Happiness points to purchase the mermaidic kelp (the treatment in my story)  to see what it would be like to play a mermaid.  It's ok. like I mentioned in the story a lot of time spent in the water.  I've noticed I don't really go out into the sims community and that's just how I play.  My sims spend all their time at the school, jobs and home so maybe this will be another reason to get out.  

 That's my goal for the next generation.  To spend less time at home....yeah, we'll see if that happens :( Crazy person sitting in front of the computer.  Shh, don't look.

Yeah, both Jae and Ev wished for a little girl for this pregnancy.  I didn't use any game cheats (apples/watermelons) to influence the gender of the baby. You'll see if it's a boy or girl next post.  I brought Dromy home because she was so cute when I shot the scenes for the wedding that I wanted her home.  So here she is.  She won't really be featured much.  There was so much going on with the new baby that she doesn't get much attention, but that lends itself so well to a story line that we'll see if I go there.*evil grin*

Chapter 1.9


      It was finally the end of term.  The sim who had followed Jaessana home had been picked up by the University police for attacking another woman two days after that incident.  He was behind bars now and life had begun to return to normal for her.  And that meant finals.  Jaessana ran to the last class she would ever have to take in her long sim life prepared to fight to the metaphorical death for an A.


     Jaessana got the results of her test scores first thing in the morning a couple of days later.


      "Yes," she screamed in joy, "A.  This is awesome. This is A-mazing."


     It was graduation day at last.  All the graduates and their family guests were gathering at the University gymnasium for the  ceremony.  It was long but Jaessana was floating through on the joy of getting her degree.  Everado smiled at her as she couldn't help dancing in her seat, impatient to get her diploma.
     He took her hand in his as they sat through the mandatory speeches and congratulations from University staff.  After they walked out of the building with their fellow graduates.


     "Jae-jae!"
     Jaessana turned aroud.  "Dromy," she called seeing her sister among the crowd.
     "Where is Kiran," Jaessana asked when she reached her sister and not seeing him with Dromy.
     "He's around somewhere.  He was talking with one of the ladies about movies that are showing at the cinema tonight.  Can we go to the cinema?"
     "Why not?  I'm done with school now. No papers, no projects, no classes tomorrow.  Let's find Everado and Kiran and go to the cinema."
     "Yay," the girl cheered, jumping in joy.





     "So now what do we do," Jaessana asked Everado at lunch.
     "Your inheritance paid for school but now we have overdue bills to pay off."
     Jaessana propped her head on her fist as she toyed with the sandwich on her plate.  "There's not much left now.  I guess we can wait until I sell some paintings at the gallery."
     "I've been thinking Jae.  Since the garden isn't making any money I was going to go look in the city for a job."
     "But you love gardening Everado.  Don't give up on it yet."


     "I can still work on it in my spare time but we need more money to come in.  I don't want you to pressure yourself into spending all your time painting, trying to make enough money for the bills."
     Everado reached across the table to take her hands.
     "We are going to have a family at some point, some point soon I hope, and I don't want you to miss out on the important stuff again because of money problems."
     Jaessana flipped her hand over under his to give it a squeeze. She looked down at the table remembering when her father had died.  "I would hate to miss them too," she whispered.
     "My professor from University has a friend that works at the stadium here in Isla Paradiso.  I have an interview with the football team in two days."
     "You already made plans?" Jaessana asked surprised.
     "Yeah, I was going to wait until I found out if I got the job to tell you, but I didn't like keeping it a secret."
     "Do you want this job, Everado.  And tell me truly, not what you think I want to here."
     "Jae, I want this job.  I want to take care of you and someday our kids too."
     "Everado you already do," Jaessana smiled, "but I hope you get it."


     "I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow," Jaessana said.  She released Everado's hand as she turned back to her meal.
     "Good news?" Everado asked with a hopeful look on his face.
     "Hopefully," she said wistfully.  She continued to eat imagining the possibilities.  A little boy like Everado or a little girl like her?  First steps, first words, first dates.  So many possibilities to come.  New hopes and new dreams.

   So here we go. Yeah I added in the bit about the sim going to jail, mostly cuz I wanted to tie up that thread.  Sims don't really go to jail FYI to the nonplayers.  And they graduated Yay. With honors for both so that was awesome.  I did it, I did it, I did it...  and on to the next thought... I decided to put that degree to use so Everado got a job at the stadium he started at level 4 which is neat. I don't have to work through those first three levels.  

Kids are incoming and a little surprise since I wanted to play around with the game a little.  I'm ahead in the game, the next generation are already children to me. (don't know if I already mentioned this but I'm writing old events here. old to me at least.)  

Oh yeah, my football reference.  I mean soccer as we call it here in America (that's where I'm at) I just happen to be on a Doctor Who marathon kick at the moment so it's blimey this and football that. And I just like the way it sounds. I'll prabably use mum and mummy, da for dad (tossing thoughts around here nothing is set in stone not yet at least.  Still there's always a hammer to break it.)

Chapter 1.8


     Back at university Jaessana and Everado rented one of the houses available for their second term.  Jaessana woke up early the first day of classes to make breakfast.


     They ate quickly and rushed off to classes.  Since Jaessana only needed six more units to complete her degree she had signed up for only one class this term.  Though even one class was too much, she thought, when your classmates are snoring in your ear.


     After the lecture Jaessana waited in the hallway to speak with the professor.  "Next," he called as one of the students left his office.
     Jaessana entered the office.  "Professor, I wanted to talk about my grade."

              


     "I spoke with my professor yesterday.  In consideration of my already completed units he's going to let me do art projects outside the classroom to base my grade on," Jaessana began over breakfast.
     "So no more lectures for you?"
     "No more lectures for me," Jaessana said smugly, "instead I'll be painting here and planning protests with Chloe."
     "Chloe is back this term too."
     "Yeah," Jaessana chuckled, "she's taking the scenic route to graduation, she'll be back next term too."


     More often then not Everado came home to new tags and murals on the wall.  He'd stopped cleaning them off back at the dorms so he had to assume Jae was cleaning them before putting on new ones, though why she put new ones up anyways he wouldn't understand.


     "A protest at the student quad on Saturday, yeah, I'll help pass out posters.  No worries Chloe, see you there."


     On Saturday, Jaessana headed over to the Student Union building to begin passing out fliers.
     "There will be a protest tonight over at the Quad.  Come by when your classes get out.  We'll be protesting the unfair process by which our grades are determined."
     "Sure, we'll be there.  See you later Jaessana."
     "See you, Jae."
     Waving off two of her classmates Jaessana felt a tingle at the back of her neck.  She looked around but no one else was in the room.  Still she couldn't shake off the feeling she was being watched...


      The protest went great of course with Jaessana and Chloe planning and running the show.  Jaessana was getting ready to leave when her attention caught on one of the protesters still holding up a sign.  He was staring at her so intensely it was scary.  Hadn't she seen him before.  Probably at one of the other protests, she thought and shook off the shiver of unease that danced up her spine.
       The lights in the front room were still on when she arrived home.


     "You're still up," she said to Everado as she walked into the room.  Jaessana took off her coat and put it away.
     "Just waiting for you to get back.  It was getting pretty late," he said getting up from the couch.
     "I am such a lucky sim to have a husband like you."  She went to him and gave him a kiss.  "Since you waited up for me should I tuck you into bed?"
     "Only if I can tuck you in with me," he said against her lips before kissing her again.
     "Mmm," she hummed against his mouth, "Deal."

                                 


     For the last three nights someone would come up to the house when Everado was out with his workout group.  Jaessana never saw who it was because they left before she could get up to look, but she had heard the porch steps creak.


     Tonight Jaessana saw him.  He knocked on the front door.  What's he doing here, she asked.  She recognized the sim.  He was that sim from the protest, the one that scared her.  He knocked on the door again before looking in the window at her.  He smiled, seeing her.
     "Open the door Jae," he said, "I waited until he wasn't here, just like you wanted."
     "I don't know what you're talking about.  Go home," she said.
     "Don't be that way," he said.  He disappeared and Jaessana jumped when she heard the doorknob jiggle.
     She quickly retreated into the back bedroom, pulling out her phone as she went.  She dialed Everado's number but it went through to voice mail, she hung up and dialed again.  Again, voicemail.
     She locked the bedroom door after closing it.  Where are you Everado, I need you right now.  She quickly pulled on a robe and started to dial the police when she heard the most wonderful sound in the world.
     "What are you doing here?"
     Everado's voice was muffled from the distance but it was unmistakably his voice.


     "This isn't the time for social visits.  If I ever catch you around my home like this again.  The police will never find your remains," he threatened. 
     Facing the threat of a sim that worked out until physically fit the stalker quickly turned around and ran away.
     Jaessana ran to throw herself into Everado's arms as he walked into the house.  "I wa-wa-was s-s-so scared," she sobbed into his chest.
     "Shh," Everado hushed pulling her tight against him, "he's gone.  You'll never be hurt by him."


     Jaessana slept as close to Everado as she could get that night.

   So that blue haired creeper really did come over to the house at night, a few nights in a row.  I guess Jae chatted him up at one point in the game, gave him a protest flier I think.  He sent some of those attraction gifts the game sets up and calls her every once in a while.  It's been a couple days since I played this part and I'm way ahead of the story in game sooo...I sent Everado out to threaten him and bully him for screenshots.  And this is how random in game events become story drama...

   I just want to go out on record now and say I've never been stalked or known anyone who's been stalked, but the very idea of it is very creepy and out there and I think that came through in my writing.  I don't know did it work?

   Oh and check with your local police to see if threatening a stalker is a good idea I really don't know and don't advocate/advise for it.  I just threw that in the story.

Chapter 1.7


      "You made it," Jaessana said leaving her soon-to-be husband with his dad and going over to her siblings.
      "I told you we would be here," Kiran replied.
      "Jae-jae, is it true this place is haunted," Andromeda whispered.


      "Dromy, I promise you none of the ghosts we have here would ever hurt you."  Jaessana said.
  She bent to give her little sister a hug.  "Look at you.  You've gotten so big.  I'm happy you came."


     While his sisters were lost in their moment.  Kiran went to size up his future brother in law.
     "Hey Kiran, glad you made it.  Did Jae already get to you."
     "Yeah," Kiran said still staring at Everado.
     "Can I help you with something," Everado asked.
     "No. I just wanted to let you know if you ever hurt my sister or make her sad, I'll make you sorry you did."
     "If I ever hurt your sister I hope you do.  Because that is the one thing I never want to do."


     "What was that you and Kiran said.  It looked like the two of you were getting ready to fight."
     "Just guy stuff," Everado told her, " You ready to do this?"
     "Never been more ready," she said with a smile.


     And with their family and close friends as witnesses (and the maid who wasn't doing her job) they exchanged their vows and Jaessana became Mrs. Everado Drimagard.  Yes, Everado married into the family after all.  His sister Lily was still around to carry on the Ichtaca family name if she wanted too. (and the title of this blog is Drimagard Tales not Ichtaca Tales.)


     The newlyweds cut the beautiful wedding cake to serve to their guests and the part went on until the wee hours of the morning.


     Because they hosted the wedding at their house Jaessana and Everado stayed until the last guest left.
     "I think it's just you and me now Mrs. Drimagard," Everado murmured emphasizing her newly married status.
     "It looks like it," Jaessana said gazing into her husbands eyes.  My husband, she thought, how right that sounds.  "What are you gonna do about it?"
     "How about I show you," he said next to her ear.
     Jaessana shivered and smiled in response.

                                           


     "You look picture perfect dear but we have to get back to university today.  Are you really gonna go like that."
     "I have plenty of time to fix my hair before we leave.  Let me finish eating first."

   Ok, so I lied not back to Uni this chapter.  I just decided to end here after the wedding.  Uni will be next chapter, next chapter for sure.  Maybe.....Their little flirting after the wedding is probably as risque as this blog will ever get.  I love romance stories, but I am way too shy to ever try to write one.
   So...Jaessana's wedding dress is one of the outfits that came with Monte Vista.  I just custom colored it to look like a wedding dress.  If you noticed it's actually the same as her formal outfit, just in a different color.  I reeeeally like this dress.  It's sexy without being obvious if you know what I mean.  I went to change her hair before the wedding to add in the veil and it changed all her hairstyles so that's why the goof the morning/(afternoon? looks like sandwiches to me) after the wedding.  Oh and now looking at the pic, see that baby seat? left over from Jaessana and the other Drimagard kids, not hinting at anything yet, totally not hinting at anything.
  Oh and if anyone is curious I actually shot the scenes with Kiran, Dromy and Jae, and Kiran arguing with Everado after my sims came back after uni.  Made a seperate save and moved them back in to take the pics.  The rest happened during game play.

Chapter 1.6


     "So we're here in France and you want to buy a nectar machine for home?  Why not just enjoy the nectar here?"  Jaessana asked Everado.  The two had come on holiday before they started their second term at school.  They hadn't even been here for more than two hours before they made it to the nectary.
     "I want to try making nectar at home with the plants I started in the garden Jae."
     After making arrangements for the machine to be shipped to Isla Paridiso Everado insisted on harvesting some grapes from the nectary's open garden.  While she waited for her boyfriend to finish Jaessana pulled out her camera and started taking pictures of the nectary.  She fiddled around with the different features and experimented with black and white and sepia tones on the settings.


     Once Everado finished they went back to the market.  They stopped at the cafe to eat some of the local foods.  Jaessana made a trip to the bookstore to purchase the recipes to take home so she could make them at home.


      "You know that house is pretty big," Jaessana started.


      Jaessana got down on one knee, "I don't want to go back alone.  And I don't ever want anyone to question us.  Let's get married and make it official."
     "Jae, I'm the one that's supposed to ask you to marry me," Everado said trying to smother his laughter with his hands.
     "Well you were taking too long to do it," she said standing up again.  She hit him in the shoulder, "stop laughing goofball and answer the question.  Are we gonna get married or not."
     "Alright, alright stop hitting me," he said rubbing his shoulder theatrically.  "Yes Jaessana Drimagard we're gonna get married as soon as we get home."
     "Good.  I was gonna set my poppi's ghost on your butt if you said no."
     "Don't worry Jae," he said pulling her into a hug, "I got you now and I'm never letting you go.  You're stuck with me for life."
     "I really wouldn't have it any other way," she whispered giving him a kiss.


     The rest of the trip was exploring a couple of tombs and taking photos of the countryside.
     "There's supposed to be a door here," Everado said tapping at the wall.
     "Everado, that's a wall," Jaessana said before he tripped a switch and the wall opened up.
     "You were saying," he asked smirking at her as he stepped back to let her go first.
     "Nothing, I was saying absolutely nothing." Jaessana walked past him.


     "Don't even think about it," Jaessana warned when she caught Everado looking at the tent with a thoughtful expression.
     "Don't think about what," he asked in feigned innocence.
     "We are not going to woohoo in this tomb," she said fiercely with her hands on her hips.
     "Why Jaessana Drimagard how forward of you to suggest that here."
     "I didn't," she exclaimed, "You were thinking it."
     "You were thinking it too," he said, dropping a kiss to her lips before going back into the other room.


      The last day of their trip Everado ran around doing errands for some of the locals.  Jaessana stayed at the hostel and started reading the new recipes she picked up to pass the time.


     Early one morning Everado got up and was surprised to see the ghost of Alfans wandering the hallways.  Everado waited until Jaessana's father noticed him to approach and ask him an important question.
     "I know, sir," he began, "we never really got a chance to know one another, but I want you to know I love your daughter and I want to make her happy.  I've asked her to marry me and she said yes.  Or well I guess she asked me first, but we would like to have your blessing."
     The ghost smiled and nodded before disappearing with the rising sun.

                                                                                                                      


     "Kiran, Dromy you made it. How was the trip?" Jaessana asked her little brother as they came for their first visit back to their family home.
     "Jae-jae, Jae-jae," the toddler shrieked reaching for Jaessana.
     "We made the trip fine.  Dromy slept most of the way here.  I was surprised when mom agreed we could come visit you.  I thought for sure she would say no."
     Jaessana smiled as she accepted the screaming toddler.
     "She did at first but I kept asking until she said yes.  You two are my family after all.  It's only overnight but it's good to have you home."
     "Home, home, home," Dromy sang as Jaessana carried her.
     "Just so you know Everado and I are engaged.  We're planning to get married in a couple days or so, after we tell his family and before we go back to school," Jaessana announced leading him into the house
     "Wow, that's so totally not a surprise," Kiran said, following her, "You've only been together as long as I can remember."
     "Hush-a brat, you can at least act surprised," Jaessana responded, "Have you thought any more about school?  You're gonna be a young adult soon."
     "Not really," he said but he wouldn't meet her eyes.
     "Kiran, what is it?"
     "It's nothing."

 So I hope I left this at a cliff hanger.  I have some plans for the future.  Yes, I had Jae pop the question mostly cuz I didn't care who asked who and I wanted them to get married.  I think she was probably the portrait I was on when I decided to have the question asked.  They got engaged in France in between adventure quests.  I mostly had Everado do those, didn't really feel like working two quests simultaneously so Jae followed him around taking photo's.  I think she mastered photography during this trip or shortly after getting home.  So one skill down just have to master her painting skill, she's about 5 or 6 now I think, and she will have achieved her lifetime wish.  yeesh I wasn't sure it was possible to get one done before adult was reached but with all the time she spent at Uni and now traveling.  If you play the Randomacy rules says skilling outside the home world's not allowed, well maybe photo is but I can't remember. Anyways...since this isn't a randomacy, I don't care.  I didn't intend to, I just did. Oh, well.   I'll probably try to complete a few of those skill challenges just to keep her interesting and going.  
   Will be a wedding next chapter then back to Uni, might even get through both terms.  Off to write it now.....

Chapter 1.5


     "You're in here again Jae," Everado said coming into the room.  Jaessana turned to look at him over her shoulder.
     "I had this idea last night and I wanted to get it down before I forgot."
     "Last night? Did you sleep yet?" he asked.
     "Hmm?" Jaessana asked having turned back to her painting already.
     "Sleep, Jae. When was the last time you slept?"
     "I got some sleep two nights ago and a nap this morning."
     "And what about your family Jae.  Have you talked to your dad recently?"
     "My family will be here once I'm finished with this.  It's not like they're going anywhere."
   

     Little did Jaessana know but the Grim Reaper was coming to take Alfans at that very moment.


     "I should have stopped.  I should have gone and hugged him just once more."  Jaessana cried into Everado's shoulder.
     "No one could have known we would lose him today," Everado tried to comfort her.
     "We should have.  He was so old and with his lost time from traveling to the future we should have known we would lose him."
     "Don't Jae.  Don't blame yourself for this.  He knew you loved him.  That's all anyone can hope for before they go."


     Persephone and Kiran were already at the table when Jaessana got up the next morning.
     "What's wrong," she asked seeing Kiran and Persephone sitting at the table with their heads bowed.
     "Jaessana come sit down.  We need to discuss what will happen next now that your father is gone," Persephone answered.
     "I don't understand what you mean," Jaessana said doing as she was asked and sitting at the table.
     "Mom want's us to move," Kiran jumped in.
     "Move? Move where," she asked.
     "I have family in Starlight Shores.  A distant cousin but still family," Persephone said.
     "But this is home.  This is your home, and Kiran's and Dromy's.  Why do you want to move?"  Jaessana felt hurt by Persephone's words.  No they weren't blood but they were almost family.  Persephone had been here for most of her life and for all the time that Jaessana could remember living in this house Persephone was a part of those memories.  She had just lost her father now she would be losing her brother, sister, and almost-mother.
     "Jaessana," Persephone sighed, looking around the room at the pictures of their family on the walls, "Jaessana, there are too many memories here.  Too many happy memories and right now those memories hurt more than I can bear."
     "Mom that's not fair.  I have my classes here, my job and I'm even starting to make friends at the high school."
     "Life isn't fair, Kiran.  We're moving tomorrow after you get off work."


     Jaessana went up to the nursery when Dromy started to cry.
     "Hungee," Dromy cried seeing Jaessana.  "Hungee, Jae-jae".
     "I know kiddo let's get you some food," Jaessana replied picking up Dromy.
      Persephone and Kiran were still arguing in the kitchen when they made it downstairs.  Kiran was saying that as a teen he should be allowed to choose for himself if he wanted to move or not while Persephone held firm that the three of them would all be moving.


     Jaessana stopped before entering the kitchen hearing Kiran and Persephone.  Knowing that they would be leaving her Jaessana snuggled her little sister and whispered, "No matter where you go Dromy, you and Kiran will always be my little sister and brother.  I'll always love you."
     The baby happy to be snuggled said, "Wuv you doo Jae-jae."


The next night Jaessana went back to the art studio hoping she could forget how quiet the house had gotten.


                                                                                                                                                                   
Random Ramblings

  So Alfans fianally passed away.  I say finally but he didn't live much beyond his expected 90 days (I think).  The house was kind of crowded at this point with 5 sims and 4 cats left so I decided to make it simpler by moving the three "extended family" out.  Persephone initially married Alfans because I wanted a few more branches to the family tree if possible.  Hopefully Kiran and Andromeda will marry and/or have kids of their own when they are old enough.  
  Now I'm just waiting for my elderly Diddy Cat to pass away, he's maxed out his life meter and beyond.  Diddy came to the house with Everado and is mated to Cinnamon Cat they have a cute little kitten that has his daddy's two-toned eyes.  The kitten is named Papi.  He's adorable and likes to snuggle with his momma on the pet bed.  I never knew before that that action was available until it came up in Cinnamon's wish panel.  They look so cute I have them snuggling a lot.  Hopefully I'll be able to show screenshots.
