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."

                                                                                                                                                  
Random Ramblings

   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.

Chapter 1.12


     Jaessana went to the Smuggler's Lair to talk with her boss and co-workers.  They talked and consoled her, exchanging stories from when their own children were little and the craziness that was life with a newborn.  She needed those few hours out of the house and away from the noise to center herself again.  She thought back to the words she had yelled and the accusations she had unfairly cast at Everado and knew she had to return.
     She left with promises to return when her leave was up and quickly made her way home again.


     Everado was waiting up when she made it home that night.
     "I'm sorry," Jaessana said before the door even had time to close.
     Everado stood and walked over to Jaessana.


     "I'm so sorry Everado," she began taking his hands in hers, "it was wrong of me to yell at you like that.  The girls were crying all day and I was tired and wrung out and I took it out on you.  I'm sorry for that. I'm so so-"
     "Jae hush for a moment," Everado interrupted her.  "I understand.  You didn't mean it.  You were just a exhausted.  I'm sorry I didn't know."  He turned and led her upstairs to their room.
     "Everado I didn't give you a chance," Jaessana said as she followed behind him
     "Well we have to move on from here.  So let's problem solve," he began.
     Before they could enter their room a baby began to cry.
     Jaessana groaned and put her head on Everado's shoulder.
     He kissed the top of her head, "go on, I'll take care of her."
     Before Jaessana could respond both babies began to cry.  She laughed tiredly, "I'll go with you."


     "If it's too much we could hire a nanny or a babysitter for a few hours a day.  Give you a chance to get out of the house, paint, whatever you need," Everado said as he held baby Danica while Jaessana bathed Bailey.
     "No," Jaessana said as Bailey splashed in the water, "they're so small only once.  I don't think I can give this up.  We'll have to hire a sitter soon enough when I go back to work.  I'll just have to make the memories now while I can."
     "Ok.  We can change that whenever we need to.  It's not set in stone."
     "Thank you for understanding."

                                          


     It dawned at last.  The girls birthday.  Jaessana had purchased a snow cone machine and balloons to decorate the dining room.  Everado picked up cakes the night before on his way home from work.  Family was called and the party was set.
     Dromy had her teen birthday the day before, she hadn't wanted a big party so Jaessana and Everado had a private party just for her.  Kiran had been away on a business trip but he called to speak with her and wish her a happy birthday.


     "Happy birthday sweetie," Jaessana smiled as she picked up Bailey to bring her to the party downstairs.  The baby burbled happily back at her.  Jaessana blew out the candles for her daughter as the party guests clapped and cheered.  Jaessana put her toddler down while she went to get Danica to bring her for her turn.


     Everado made it home from work in time to watch as Jaessana helped Danica blow out her candles.  He picked up Bailey as she began to fuss on the floor, holding her up so she could watch too.


     "Hungeeeeeeee."
     "Hold on Dani," Jaessana called as she picked Bailey up from the table and set her on the floor.  She crawled over to the toys as Jaessana picked her sister out of her crib.
     "Hunge, mummy."
     "Then let's get you cleaned up before I get your bottle.  Okay baby?"
     Dani pouted as Jaessana carried her over to the table for her turn.


      Dani had picked up walking and talking fairly quickly so Jaessana spent her time teaching Bay.
     "Fithie," Bay repeated.
     "That's right," Jaessana clapped, "fishies live in the water and they taste super yummy, but kelp tastes even better.  As a little mersim when you grow you'll need to eat more fishy and kelp to grow up big and strong.
     "Fithie, fithie," Bay cheered for herself.
     "Yeah, fishy," Jaessana copied her.

                                                                                                                                                  
Random.....

    Ok it's late/early as I write this the first time.  I'll go over it and review it before I publish it but for now... "Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn."

    I don't do well with baby speak so it just looks funny for now.  At least to me.  Yeah so Everado and Jae have made up.  I never hired a nanny and sitters only come when they go to work.  I think only once or so.  Bailey was named first so she's the oldest child. I don't think I mentioned this before.  There was a little mix up with their birthday transitions and Bay ended up a day older than Dani.  I just age them up on the same day on future birthdays.

    So are the chapters getting longer? shorter? Too much? Yeah I'm really rambling now so I will wish any and all readers good night....

And here's a screenshot of Danica since you don't get to see her in the story as anything other than the top of a head until she's a child.  A cutie.

Chapter 1.11


     "Everado, is Jae-jae okay?" Dromy asked the next day when she found him repairing the dish washer once again.
     "Of course, why do you ask?" he answered from his position crouched in front of the machine.
     "She hasn't left your room since her doctor's appointment."
     "The doctors told her to rest.  I think you can go visit with her though, why don't you head on up."


     Jaessana looked up as the door to her room cracked open.  "Jae-jae?"
     "Come in Dromy." she finished tucking in the bed sheets.  "Can you take that side," she asked.
     "Yes." Dromy answered finishing the other side.
     Jaessana groaned as she settled back on the bed.
     "Are you sick Jae-jae?  Is that why you have to stay in bed all the time?" Dromy asked.


     "Come on," Jaessana tapped the side of the bed next to her, inviting Dromy to climb up.
     "I'm not sick," she answered rubbing her belly, "I'm going to have a baby."
     "Do all sims have to stay in bed when they're having a baby?"
     "No. Not usually.  Do you remember when I told you about my meter resetting?  And the treatment I took to fix it?"
     "Yeah.  The treatment made your legs turn scaly."
     Jaessana laughed, "That's the one, well the doctors don't know what kind of effect it will have on the baby so they want me to rest and not to do too much."
     Dromy looked down at the bedspread under her and mumbled something.
     "What," Jaessana asked.
     "So you're not gonna get sad like mummy did?" Dromy asked in a slightly louder voice.
     "Sweetie," Jaessana began hugging Dromy to her side, "Is that what happened?"
     Dromy shrugged, "I don't know.  Mummy was always sleeping.  Kiran said she was sad because daddy died, but I don't remember."
     "You wouldn't really.  Dad died before you could really get to know him, and he was always at work so you never really had the chance," Jaessana said
     "I promise you I'm not sad.  I will be okay after the baby is born.  Everyone says I'll be tired from late nights but I will not be sad like your mum," Jaessana pressed a kiss to the top of Dromy's head.  "Go get your book for school, you can read to me while Everado is at work."
     

     It was the middle of the night when Jaessana woke up.  At first she wasn't sure why she was awake.  The house was quiet, Everado was snoring slightly next to her.  Then she felt it, a twinge in her back.  A twinge that went around and centered in her belly.
     "Owowowow," she hissed sitting up, "Everado."
     "Everado," she said again shaking his shoulder, "wake up."
     Everado mumbled in his sleep as he turned over.
     "Everado," she said louder, punching his shoulder.
     "Wha," he sat up with a start, "Jae what is it."
 

     "It's time." she said grabbing her stomach.


     Several hours later Jaessana sat in the nursery rocking chair with one of her newborn daughters.  Twin girls, Bailey and Danica Drimagard, were born at the end of the winter season, just before the snow melted and Spring came.
     Jaessana smiled as the little bundle in her arms squirmed in her sleep.  The nearly quiet house would not be so quiet now.
     She looked at the little leg that had managed to kick itself out of the wrapper.  Light pink scales ran from her feet all up her leg.  Scales that were just like her sister's.  The doctors weren't sure what to make of this mutation but all the evidence they had collected from Jae said her daughters were both healthy.
     That was all that Jaessana cared about.  She kissed the top of the baby's head and continued to rock in the chair.

                                              


     Jaessana jiggled the baby in her arms, humming every lullaby she could think of, while the other baby cried in her crib.
     "Why do they cry all the time?" Dromy yelled over the crying.
     "Dromy please keep your voice down.  They're babies, Dromy, all they can do is cry.  Cry when they're hungry, cry when they're wet, when they're lonely and just because they can.   Cry, cry, cry-cry-cry."  Jaessana ran her hands through her hair.  "Dromy, please go play in the backyard for now, I'm trying to get them to sleep."
     "Okay," Dromy said before she put her blocks down and left the room.
     "What is it," Jaessana begged the crying baby in her arms, "what is it you need.  Tell me and I'll get it for you.  Please tell mummy."


     Hours later both babies were sleeping and Jaessana was finally able to return to her painting.  Everado returned home from work a short time later.  Jaessana pretended to ignore him when he came into their room to change out of his uniform.
     "How were the girls today," he asked.
     "The same as yesterday and no doubt the same as they'll be tomorrow," Jaessana grumped at him.
   

     "What's wrong with you," Everado asked, surprised by her answer.
     "What's wrong with me?  What's wrong with me," she yelled,  "what's wrong with me is while you're out playing with your team mates I'm here.  What's wrong with me is the girls cry day and night.  By the time I get one fed, cleaned and put down to sleep the other one is crying bloody murder.  What's wrong with me is that I haven't had any sleep in two days, I haven't had time to paint or even get out of the house.  I'm losing my mind and you're not here to help me."
     "That's not fair Jaessana, I'm working.  Not playing around."
     "Who cares if you're working.  I can't take it anymore," Jaessana yelled before she left the house.

                                                                                                                                                  
Random Ramblings

   Okay, so I've never really spent an extended period of time with newborns, my sisters are too close to me in age so I wouldn't remember when they were born.  Mostly.  I think I have a memory from when the youngest was born and I got to hold her, but that's about it.
   But when it comes to my sims whenever they have a baby it happens when the mom is ex-haust-ed. I mean to the point where they are crashing in the street kind of tired.  Any other players have that happen to them?  And then there is not one but two babies for Jae to take care of. So yeah I made her flip out on Everado.  I think she deserves it since she's not even leaving the house right now.

   Two baby girls, so Jae and Everado got their wishes granted.  Actually Jae had three wishes granted with their birth.  1. have first child, 2. have child with Everado, 3. have a girl.  It netted her somewhere between 8 and 13 thousand lifetime happiness points. I can't remember the exact number.  And she had at least two of these wishes since they married before University.  Yikes she is patient with me.
   So where am I going with this story.  I've got to admit I'm not really sure.  I came up with this great idea for gen 2 and now I don't know what to do cuz it messes with what I already had planned.   It makes me kind of sad :(
