Chapter 1.18

     "Thank you for coming Dr. Quinn.  I'm glad you found the place."
     "No worries Mrs. Drimagard.  Your directions were quite easy to follow."
     Jaessana turned around and led Dr. Quinn inside the house.

     "We were concerned when you called and said you had to meet to discuss the results of my last test," Jaessana said offering the doctor a seat as she sat on the sofa.
     Jaessana looked up at Everado as he came into the living room and sat with her on the love seat while the doctor took a side chair on the other side of the room.  She smiled in appreciation as he took her hand in support.
 

     "Doc Miles never mentioned you when we met to discuss Jae's results in the past,"  Everado said.
     "Dr. Ethan Miles is your family's primary physician?  How long have you been seeing him?"
     "He was one of my father's former students before he was hired on at the hospital.  I've been seeing him since my childhood."
     Dr. Quinn smiled, "since you came to our attention, I've been reviewing Dr. Miles and he has a good solid standing as a physician and he has agreed to keep his silence regarding the matter."
   

     "Silence." "Our attention." Jaessana and Everado spoke together.

     "Of course,"  Dr. Quinn looked back and forth between them, "and you don't know what I'm talking about.  Where to start explaining, hmmm" she said putting a hand to her chin. 

     "Why don't you start with what you mean 'our attention'," Everado suggested.

     "That is a logical starting place.  All right then.  What do you know about the Occult?"
     "Nothing," Jaessana said, but Everado shifted on the seat next to her.  She turned to him, "Everado?"
     "My Uncle Rubisen was a mersim.  When Jae was first affected by the treatment I talked to him about it but he didn't know anything about why Jae was affected the way she was."

     "You never told me this."
     "He died the day after I talked to him, since he didn't tell me anything I didn't think there was anything to tell you."
     "Your uncle was Rubisen Ichtaca?" Dr. Quinn asked.
     "Yeah, how did you know?"
     "We received an inquiry from him dated the day before he died.  That must have been after you spoke to him."
     "Who is this 'we' you keep mentioning."  Everado asked
   

     "Mummy, what's going on?"

     Jaessana turned to see the girls standing in the doorway.

     "We're talking with Dr. Quinn.  It's getting late you two should be getting ready for bed.  Where's Dromy?"

     "Aunt Dromy is getting Owen bathed."  

     "Go get dressed for bed.  As soon as your dad and I finish with Dr. Quinn we'll be up to tuck you in."

     "Okay," Dani said heading upstairs.  Bay crossed her arms before saying, "we're not little kids anymore we're almost grown up."

     "Then you don't need us to wish you good night?" Jaessana asked.

     "I didn't say that."

     "Go. We'll be up in a few," Jaessana said.  Bailey followed her sister upstairs.

     "They seem to be sweet girls."

     "They are.  Who is 'we'?" Jaessana asked returning to the conversation.

     "I'll get to that but first Occults.  Occults are sims that are not your typical everyday sims like your husband.  They are sims that do not have any kind of extra abilities or limitations.  Occults on the other hand are sims with some kind of physical or magical anomaly.  Sims like you Mrs. Drimagard, and like me."

     

     "Like you/" Everado asked.
     "Yes.  I am a vampire.  It's why I asked to have this meeting at night rather than at the hospital earlier in the day."
     "A vampire.  As in drink your blood, live forever, vampire.  I thought those are myths."
     "As are mersims, Mr. Drimagard," Dr. Quinn said with a raised brow.

     "She's got a point there," Jaessana said turning to her husband.
     Everado put an arm along the back of the couch and Jaessana shifted to lean into him before turning back to the doctor.

     "Tell us more about Occults."

   So this upcoming chapter will kind of be an informative chapter about the supernaturals in the game for those that don't play and might be reading this.  It will be my take on the supernaturals in the game and how they fit into the story I'm writing.  See you later readers.

Chapter 1.17

     It was Leisure day so everyone decided to spend the holiday poolside.  After breakfast Everado headed outside with the girls to the pool they had recently built on the property.  Jaessana followed with Owen who was now a toddler.  While Everado relaxed in the arm chair keeping an eye on the swimming girls, Jaessana tried to teach Owen the importance of eating healthy and avoiding fires.

     "And they left the house in the middle of cooking.  The whole house nearly burnt down."
     "Burn, burn," the toddler laughed.
     "It's not funny," Jaessana mock scowled at her son, "the fire monster will eat you."  She then growled and pretended to eat the baby to his hysterical giggles.

     "Girls it's time to get out if you're going to go by the festival," Jaessana called to the girls.

     "We're coming, we're coming," they called as they swam to the edge and climbed out.

     "Are you sure you can handle the girls on your own Dromy?" Jaessana asked as she shifted the toddler to her other hip.  The baby rubbed a fist to his eyes as he relaxed against her shoulder.

     "We'll be fine Jae-jae.  Go put Owen down and enjoy your day off," Dromy replied.

     Everado looked at the twins as they approached.  "You two behave and listen to your aunt.  Come home when she says it's time to come home and no arguing, okay?

     "Okay," they chorused.

     Dromy headed out with Dani and Bay as Jaessana walked the sleepy toddler upstairs to his crib.

     "We'll have to remember to thank Dromy for this later," Everado said from behind Jaessana.

     Jaessana brushed Owens hair before standing.  Everado wrapped his arms around her and they both looked down at the sleeping baby.  She turned her head smiled at her husband before taking his hand to pull him from the room, "yes, we will.  But how are we going to spend our time until the kids come home in the meantime?"

     "I can think of a way or two," Everado said kissing her.

     Jaessana just chuckled and kissed him back.

                                                            

     There wasn't a lot of time before dark when the kids arrived at the festival grounds.  Both Dani and Bay got their faces painted at the face painting booth before taking a seasonal greeting card photo with Dromy.

     After the photo-op they all collected a snow cone to eat before returning home.

   Is it just me or did these last two chapters seem kind of abrupt?  Oh well, yeah, just a little bit of fluff to pass the time.  I'm planning to go into some more detail regarding the supernatural sims in the next chapter.  It will be a screen shot file so not at all related to my current game play.  I'm just ironing out a few details before I start it.  Hope I get to it tomorrow so I can do more writing.  Well toodl-loo I'm off to see the wizard....

Chapter 1.16

     Jaessana was in her studio working on a painting when Danica came into the room.

     "Mummy, the teacher is giving us an extra project for our world history class."

     Jaessana smiled, Dani loved her world history class and it was the only one in which she was earning A's in.  "What is the project?" she asked.

     "The school is setting up a display of relics from around the world.  She's having us bring in artifacts that represent different parts of the world.  Most of the kids are bringing in rocks and bugs from Isla Paradiso but Robby is bringing in some rocks that came with them from Aurora Skies.  I want to bring in relics from China which is the only place the display is missing."

     "Sounds like a great project.  I think your dad has some relics from our trip to China when you were little."

     "But mummy that's cheating.  It's supposed to be things we found for the display."

     Jaessana raised a brow at her daughter's argument.  "Are you saying you want to go to China just to get some relics for this extra project?"

     "Of course.  You want me to do my own work and put in my own effort in school don't you?"

     Jaessana shook her head.  Logic, she was beaten by logic she couldn't argue against since it was about her child's education.  "I'll talk to your dad about this and we'll see if another trip is in the budget for now."

     

     "Thank you mummy," Dani exclaimed giving her mother a hug before running out of the studio.

     "I said we'll talk. Not we're going," she yelled after the girl.

                                                       

     

      "Pancakes with chopsticks." Dani said looking at her sister eating the breakfast food.
      "When in China do as the Chinasims do," Bailey replied.
      "It's not that bad," Everado added, "you get used to it."
      "You're the one that wanted to come here Dani," Jaessana said.
      "Yeah but I didn't think we would be eating pancakes with chopsticks," she said.

      While Everado went about exploring the various tombs in the region Jaessana accompanied the girls on a quest around the city of Shang SimLa to find precious stones and bugs indigenous to the area for the school display.  They ended the day at the local orchard where they planned to meet up with Everado when he finished his tomb raiding.
      Jaessana took advantage of the open access to harvest more fruits to take home for Everado to grow in their prospering garden.

     Danica and Bailey played tag and rock-paper-scissors while they waited and their mother worked.  It grew dark before Everado joined them.

     "You guys should have gone back to the base camp without me," Everado said.
     Jaessana smiled, "The girls were fine playing and it's not that late out.  It just gets darker here a little faster than at home."
     "Well let's get those girls corraled and home to bed," he said.
     Everado turned and cupping his hands to his mouth called, "Girls let's go."
     Dani and Bay turned at their father's call and together ran over to their mum and dad.
     "This is the best trip ever," Dani enthused on the walk back.
     "I'm glad you like it kiddo," Everado said ruffling her hair.
   

     Dani squeaked and tried to push her father's hand away before running ahead.  Everado just laughed and ran after her.
     Jaessana and Bay smiled at each other over the pairs familiar antics.  While Bay loved horses it was definitely Dani who was the tomboy of the pair.

   So this chapter is meant to be short but sweet.  Maybe a little bit of a filler that adds a little bit to the family story line.  I haven't done too much playing recently.  I started school and that has cut in to my free time *cries* but I have some screenshots still.  I write these posts prior to publishing them.  I'm trying to keep three or four ahead of my published posts so that I have that little bit of a window to play and collect screenshots in.  If I can't I might slow down my publishing to once a week.  Well that's a future concern.
   And since I have no further rambles I'm going on to my next post......

Chapter 1.15

     Jaessana was in the nursery as usual when she felt the twinges in her back.
     "Ow," she hissed clutching her stomach, "Owowow.  This had to happen now of all times."
     Everado was at work and Dromy was out with friends that afternoon.  Jaessana pulled out her phone and dialed Everado.  She had to pull the phone back away from her ear due to the blast of sound that came through when he picked up.
     "Hey Jae, what's up?  The games about to start so I have to go soon."
     "Yeah you have to go soon.  You need to come home."
     "What's that?  Jae you need to speak louder.  I can barely hear you over the crowd over here."
     "The baby's coming," Jaessana managed to yell at the next contraction.
     "WHAT?"
     "Get home fast," Jaessana panted into the phone.
     "I"m on my way.  Hey guys the baby's coming!"  Everado hung up on the catcalls and cheers of his teammates.
     Jaessana hissed with the next wave of pain.  "Hold on baby daddy's on his way.  I just don't think he'll get here in time."
  

     After some more pain and yelling Jaessana gave birth to a baby boy she named Owen as she and Everado had chosen.

     Everado made it back as Jaessana finished cuddling the baby.
     "Jae.  Are you okay?  Is the baby alright?"
     "We're fine Everado.  Come meet your son. Owen."
     Everado picked up Danica who was at his feet and walked over to Jaessana.  He brushed his hand over the baby's head before bending to kiss the same spot.  "Welcome to the family, Owen."
     Jaessana was left breathless by the love in her husbands words and actions.  And the love that shown in his eyes when he looked up at her.
     "Thank you, too, Jae, for our son."
     "I love you too, Everado," Jaessana smiled.

     As there was not enough room for a third crib in the nursery Everado assembled a temporary crib in their bedroom for Owen until the girls had their Childhood birthday and he would have the nursery to himself.

     Bailey was the first to Age Up and blew the horn while Jaessana helped Danica to blow out her candles.

     "Girls, hurry up and finish your breakfast you still need to get dressed before the school bus gets here."
     "Okay mum," they chimed in unison.
     Jaessana shook her head, half a day and they had already gotten the twin thing down.  Or maybe it was a sibling thing.  There was such a large age gap between her, Kiran and Dromy that maybe they weren't a good example of the sibling dynamic.  Well there was no maybe about it, Jaessana thought as the girls ran down the stairs when the bus honked, the three of them weren't even the littlest bit alike.
     She was an artist that specialized in forgery and Kiran had gotten a job at the hospital after finishing University.  Dromy was talking about how she would turn her inheritance from their father into a real estate empire after she finished high school in a couple more days.  She wondered just how different her children would be in their own future choices.

     The girls were playing as Jaessana picked Owen up out of his crib to feed and change.
     "How was school today?" she asked them.
     "It was great," Danica enthused from the play table.  "The teacher was talking about these other cities called Bridgeport and Sunset Valley.  According to the teacher Sunset Valley is the oldest Sim settlement but Bridgeport has the tallest buildings."
     "It's according to history, not your teacher, Dani.  I suppose it's true, though I've never been to either city."
     "Why not mum?  I think it would be swell to go to them.  And the teacher was saying there are a lot more cities out there also."
     "Yes, quite a few.  Maybe you'll get to see them when you grow up,  you just have to study hard and work for it.  How about you Bay?  Anything interesting happen today?"
 

     "Not really.  Mum do you know why there aren't any horses on the island?"
     Jaessana turned to take Owen to the changing table.  She saw Bay getting off the children's rocking horse.  "No. I don't know.  Why?"
     "I want a real horse when I grow up.  Not just a rocking horse.  If there aren't horses on the island how will I get a horse."
     "I don't think we need a horse Bay," Jaessana said, "we already have three cats."
     "But mum, cats are cats.  They're not horses."
     "Bay let's table the horse discussion until you're older okay."
     "Alright mum," Bailey sighed.

     "It's not fair.  Mum said you could travel so why can't I have a horse."
     Bailey and Danica went to the library after school got out the next day.  Their mum was home with Owen but he made too much noise, so it was easier to get their homework done at the library before going home.
     "Mum said she would talk about it when we're older.  Well, we're a whole day older today.  Maybe she'll talk about it today."
     Bailey smiled, "Maybe.  Let's finish this and go home.  What did you get for question 13?"

     "Bay, Dani, come meet your Uncle Kiran."
     "Uncle Kiran, it's still hard to believe."
     "Yeah well I should be Aunt Jae-jae already.  Is that gonna happen anytime soon." Jaessana asked with a raised brow at her brother.
     Kiran laughed, "Nothing's happening and lay off Jae.  You almost sound like mum."
     "How is Persephone."
     "She's getting by.  She's still in the hospital, she has her good days and her bad days.  But it's more bad than good."
     "I'm sorry Kiran," Jaessana said as the girls started clomping down the stairs.
     "Me too, but it is what it its.  And who are these beautiful little ladies," he smiled at the girls as they came over.
     "Hello Uncle Kiran," they said together.

     The visit with Kiran was short but it was getting late when Dani walked him to the door.  She had discovered that instead of coming straight back to Isla Paradiso after University he had worked in a town called Appaloosa Plains and another chain of islands.  She questioned him about his time away all the way to the sidewalk where a taxi waited for him.
     Coming back inside she was surprised by the transparent sim hovering in the hallway.
     "Mum," she called out.
     "What is it," Jaessana responded from the next room.
     "There's a stranger in the house."
     "What?" Jaessana said.  Dani could here the rustling as her mother got up from the couch and steps as she walked to the hallway.  Jaessana stopped in the doorway to the living room when she saw the ghost.
     "Oh, that's your great-granny Kystali.  She was my dad's mum."
     "I thought she was dead," Dani said eyeing the ghost warily.
     "She is.  It's okay sweetie, she's not going to hurt you, you can come here."
     Dani carefully edged around the ghost and made her way to her mum.  Despite reassurances she didn't want to get near the strange sim even if she was just a ghost.  When she got to her mum she took her hand and stood with her mum between her and the ghost.
     "If she's dead why is she here?"
     "Come on, let's go to the living room," Jaessana said leading Dani away from the hall.

     "Granny Kystali is dead.  But like all the deceased she left her remains behind when she died.  There is some kind of psychic essence that stays in those remains long after the sims has passed away.  Sometime that essence builds up enough energy that an imprint, a memory, of that sim appears at night."
      Jaessana looked at the little girl next to her,  "most ghost's might try to scare you but they can't hurt you.  And these ghosts are family.  Do you understand?"
      Danica looked at the doorway behind her.  "I guess so mummy."
      Jaessana smiled "If the ghosts get too scary let me know.  Daddy and I will think of something okay."
      "Okay," Dani  smiled.
      "Time for bed then," Jaessana kissed the top of Dani's head, "find your sister and go get ready."
      "Love you mummy."
      "Love you too, baby."

   As of now there are about 6 or 7 ghosts in the house so it can get a little crowded when they show up at night.  
   So as of this writing I am caught up to where I am in game play.  I got a little set up done so I am ready to go play again.  As I go on I am going to try to give more of a voice to all the kids as well as Jae.  I don't want to come right out and tell you who my heir will be, but this is technically still Jae's story.  The torch has not been passed.  That being said I've already got generation 2 planned out and I am itching to get it started, but I still have to get through the teen years *crying in frustration*
   Oh well, I will just have to try and have some fun with it, and it should be once they are teens.  I mean boyfriends, prom, school, clubs, jobs.  So many avenues of growing up to explore.
   As of now I don't think either Jae or Everado has mastered any of the skill challenges, I'll mostly focus on Jae though as she is my main character.
   How's the story so far? Any one enjoying it?  Well me but I'm writing it so I don't think I count.

Chapter 1.14

     "Daddy, Hungee," Bailey cried.
     "I know sweetie, I'm coming," Everado soothed, picking her up and putting her down on the floor with her bottle.  It was his first night watching the girls alone while Jaessana went out for work.
      "You two play nice while I go get my dinner."

     Danica explored the toy box, looking inside to find what was inside.  She was happily surprised to find a toy horse.

     Everado danced with Danica as Bailey played with the hand-me-down dollhouse.

     Jaessana looked at the screen of her device as she scanned the artwork again.  She was at yet another museum studying the historic art, that she would later forge just to see if she could.

     On her way home a wave of nausea forced her to pull to the side of the road.  After it passed she stopped to think for a moment.  Oh, dear, I'm late.  She pulled out her phone and dialed her doctor.  After telling her what she suspected he told her to go by the clinic.  He was staying late working on paperwork and he could see her.

     Jaessana found Everado up in the nursery when she got home.
     "How were the girls?" she asked.
     "It was crazy," Everado smiled as he looked down at the sleeping toddler in the crib.  "I brought them downstairs for dinner.  First, Bailey managed to open the refrigerator then Dani joined in and between them they managed to clear out most of its contents.  The kitchen was a mess.  Before I got that cleaned up they got in to the studio and spilled some of your paints," he winced then.  "I think you'll have to redecorate," he said looking up at her.
     Jaessana smiled.  "They look clean now," she said peering into the cribs.
     "Bathtime," Everado explained.
     "Which explains why it looks like you walked in the rain." Jaessana laughed.
     "How do you do it Jae?"
     "Same as you did, one disaster at a time.  Thank you for the night off," she said kissing him.
     "You're welcome."

     "I have some news for you.  We're going to have another baby."
     "Another baby."
     "Yeah.  The doctor confirmed tonight.  I stopped by after a nausea spell on my way home."
     "Are you okay," Everado asked worried.
     "I'm fine it was just a typical spell of morning sickness.  Remember when I was throwing up with the girls?"
     "Not really.  I tried to block that out."
     Jaessana laughed, "what a wimp you can be.  Well I was."

     Everado placed his hand on her belly, "well baby Drimagard I have some news for you.  You don't make your mummy more sick than you have to.  She has your older sisters to take care of as well.  You hear?"
     "I'll be fine Everado.  And baby only makes me happy."
     "Good," he said kissing her again.

                                              

     "Your food is coming, your food is coming," Jaessana repeated as she made her way to the refrigerator.
     "Just another crazy morning around the Drimagard house, right Dromy," Everado called over his shoulder as he put Danica in the high chair.
     "Yeah. Of course getting up at the crack of dawn has nothing to do with it," Dromy yawned.
     "Hey, it's their first family outing to the beach.  Show some spirit Dromy," Jaessana said as she put the bowls of baby food in front of the girls.
     "Yay, family time," Dromy jokingly chimed.
     "That's the way," Everado said sitting with his breakfast.  He looked down at his plate, "I've got to say I never would have thought we would eat sushi for breakfast though."
     "Well when you have a mersim cooking your meals fish should be pretty much expected at every meal," Dromy said.
     "Is it that weird?" Jaessana asked.
     "Well most of my friends get pancakes and eggs for breakfast," Dromy answered.
     Jaessana laughed, "Eat up fast, we got to go."

     "Dromy what happened to you?" Everado asked.
     "I was trying to fix the dishwasher.  It broke this morning," Dromy answered.
     "It's good we're going to the beach, you can clean up there," Jaessana said.
     "Sounds like a plan."

     "This is the ocean, Bay," Jaessana laughed at the giggling toddler in her hands.  Next to them Everado was holding Dani in the water and both were laughing.
     "This was a good idea Jae," Everado said.
     "Yep, family outings as agreed with Dromy.  And next time we'll have four kids along."
     Everado laughed as Dromy splashed in the water behind them.

   Poor Dromy got the 'Scorched' moodlet just before my outing began.  When I began this chapter I thought it would be more of a filler chapter but I ended up putting in some of the relevant details.  Mainly the impending birth of their next child.
   Yeah I really got nothing else to ramble about so talk about short.  See y'all next chapter.

Chapter 1.13

     Everado was at the refrigerator getting his dinner Jaessana had saved for him when he heard the front door open.  Going around to see who was coming in at this time, he was shocked to see Dromy walking in.

     "Dromy, what are you doing coming in at this time?" Everado asked.

     "I was out with friends," she said.

     "It's eleven thirty, did Jae know you were going to be out this late."

     "Jaessana's busy with Bay and Dani, I called around 10 to ask if I could stay out later with my friends."

     "She's getting the girls ready for bed then."

     Dromy yawned before walking past and heading for the stairs.  "Yeah she's always busy with the girls lately.  Night Ev."

     "Night Dromy."

     "So Dromy came in as I was eating dinner last night."

     Jaessana looked up from her book.  "You got home after eleven didn't you.  What was she doing out so late?"

     "She said she was out with friends."

     "That late?  Surely there aren't parents that would let their kids stay out that late."

     "We let her stay out that late,"  Everado said sitting on the bed.

     "Not we, me.  I let her stay out that late because I didn't check in with her to make sure she made it home in time for curfew."

     "At least the police didn't catch her out."

     "Hah hah," Jaessana laughed sarcastically, "she got lucky that time.  She might not be so lucky next time."

     "I think she misses you Jae."

     "What do you mean?  I'm home all the time."

     "You're taking care of the girls, she doesn't have you like she did before they were born.  She use to have your undivided attention.  Now she has to share you with the girls."

     "And because of the girls she feels she can't be selfish about it," Jaessana nodded.  She flopped back onto the bed, "what should I do about it?"

     "We still have a trip to Shang Simla planned for some time in the future.  Why not get another ticket and bring her with us.  I'll go do the Adventurer thing, while you reconnect with Dromy," Everado suggested leaning over Jaessana.

     Jaessana smiled as she pulled Everado down to kiss him.  "That is brilliant," she said against his lips.

     "Glad to hear you think that," he kissed her.

                                                 

     

     They made it to Shang Simla, China a couple of days later.

     "So why are we taking this trip anyways," Dromy asked Jaessana.
     "We're taking this trip so Everado can go play at being an adventurer and explore some tombs and I can take a break from the girls and talk with you."
     "You want to talk.  With me," Dromy said as she folded her arms and leaned back in her chair.  "Why the sudden change Jaessana."
     "Dromy it's not a change.  I always want to talk with you, it's just harder to find the time since the girls were born.  Don't you want to talk with me."
     "You never have time anymore."
     "That's why we're here now.  For the next three days my time is available for you."

     By day Jaessana and Dromy explored the town, eating at the local restaurant and browsing the bookstore.

     By night her time was with Everado when he returned.
     "How was that tomb of some long dead king."
     "He was an emperor not a king.  And I found quite a few relics we can bring back to Isla Paradiso."
     "Shut up and come here," she said kissing him.

     "Well it's back to Isla Paradiso tomorrow.  What do you think about this trip.  Want to come back sometime."
     "Maybe.  I'm glad we came though.  It was fun swimming in the river, camping out last night and those fireworks."
     They started walking through the town market again before Dromy spoke again.
     "It was fun getting to spend time with you again."
     "I'm glad too.  It's been too long since we talked like this again.  We'll have to talk and do things like this when we get back home."
     "You'll be busy with the girls," Dromy said looking away.

     "Dromy, stop," Jaessana said stopping Dromy and turning her to face her.

     "Yes I will be busy with the girls but they will be children soon.  I will have more time to spend with you and we can all spend time together," she ducked down to look Dromy in the eyes, "and the girls finally won't be crying all the time then, either."

      Dromy laughed, "They really do cry all the time don't they."

      "If they don't, it certainly does seem like it."

     Jaessana pulled her into a hug, "You might not remember this but when your mum moved out with you and Kiran I made you a promise.  I promised that no matter what you are my little sister and I'll always love you."

     "I love you too Jae-jae."

     Jaessana smiled, "you haven't called me that since you were a child."

     "It's just a silly nickname.  I can stop if you want me too."

     "Don't you dare.  It's one of the best names I have.  Right up there with Jae and mummy.  I would never give up this name."

     Dromy laughed, "Ok."

                                                                                                                                                  

Random Ramblings

   So with the new babies Jae's relationship with Dromy really tanked.  She stayed out late and Everado caught her coming back in.  Dromy got a scolding, she stomped around with the 'scolded' moodlet for a couple days until I could get her to apologize and remove it.  By the time they returned from this trip Jae and Dromy were friends.  Also during this trip Jae mastered out her Painting skill.  So she achieved her lifetime wish.  All before she even grew up to an Adult. WoW. Never had that happen before.

   So this chapter was all about the trip to China.  They bought the martial arts set but no one has used it yet.  It's sitting in the family attic now along with a bed set from the previous generation.  I've started trying to turn it into a real family attic and storage space.  It's almost as big as the first story of the house so it's got quite a ways to go until it's full.

   Also I think I got the comment fixed so that I am receiving them.  I noticed that nothing came up even when I tried to post a comment so I played around with it in my settings.  So again comments please.  I want to know if any one is enjoying it.
