Carson Barillas- Ch. 7 Less work equals more time.

Carson (31) his wife Vanessa (30), their children: Jewel and Julian (6) , Giovanni and Lorenzo (2).

Narrated by : Vanessa

Carson is loving his job as General Practitioner. As much as he loves it he is still getting used to the pace of the job. This is why he comes home late and misses seeing the kids awake. Our marriage is going good. There are times I really miss him and he reminds me why were together by telling me he loves me. The times I get lonely I just look at him and my children.

Another late night for Carson. Sometimes I worry that he will not be able to maintain this work pace for much longer. He said that now he now can work from home on at least two days of the week.

Carson did as he promised, he stayed home while I checked in on my old job as a receptionist at the board of tourism. I do not know if this is going to be our set schedule by for now I am happy to get back to work.

Carson and Lorenzo have been bonding more lately. Carson is determined to get the boys to learn to walk. I love that the hard days are looking like they are behind us.

Giovanni is learning to talk but he always wants his dad to help him rather than I. I guess it will just be me and my little girl rather than me and my boys.

Dinner time is usually filled with chatter about school and the dreaded homework. Even though the kids refer it as the "dreaded homework" they still it because they know grades are important to all of us. I also announced at this time that I was going to begin looking for another job. My job no longer will hold my position and well I want something more.

Carson backs my idea of finding another job but he is worried that the kids are too small still. Soon preschool will start and they will be home only half of the time. I honestly do not think we will have any more kids. For now getting started on my career seems the way to go.

I did finally managed to get an interview at the State of Viramontes laboratory. They want me to start out as a test subject by my sister-in-las's finance Weldon works there and says its great. I just hope that I get the job rather than having to look at someplace else.

I got the call and I was so nervous because I was dreading the familiar, "Thanks but no thanks". I was speechless when they said I actually have the position! I could not help smile with joy.

I told Carson and we both can't wait to tell the kids. I am finally going back to work and I could not be more than excited about it.

Alfredo Barillas ch 7

Alfredo (31) his husband Merill (36)
Narrated by Alfredo


I told Merill that we are expecting and he was more than excited. I think being married over two years is plenty of time before starting a family. This baby was not planned but it is loved just as much if it were.

Merill started working out like crazy. He said he didnt want to feel like an old man when his baby was born. He is only 36 and not that old.

I wanted to put my college classes on hold but Merill would not let me get lazy. I need to finish especially now that I am going to have a child. Merill finished so the pressure is even greater for me to finish.

We even got a little puppy. Honestly I did not want one. I think it is an added responsibility and I will be the one cleaning after it.

My quad sister Shaila came over with her fiancee Weldon. They make such a cute couple. I can not wait to attend their wedding in a few months. It seems like they have been engaged forever.

At dinner I announced that we were expecting. Shaila could not stop teasing Merill on finally being a father. Weldon was just surprised and scared for us. It felt good having them over. It was a flashback to when we all lived together in this apartment.

I can not get into this school work. I did not go to college for a reason and everytime I pick up a book I want to put it down. Merill tells me to think of our son. Yes we just found out that we are expecting a boy.

My moms were ecstatic. They love having grandchildren around. My mom Consuelo still complains that my little sister Jacqueline is not taking care of her daughter correctly. I do not know how Jacquelyn continues to live at home. The minute I turned 18 I was out of there.

My other mom Maura always defends Jacquelyn and Merill changed the topic before it became an argument between them. After being together for so many years, my moms know how to push each other's buttons.

Before they left they made up for their little tiff. They have endured a lot...divorcing each other and then eventually remarrying. Having so many kids did affect their marriage but now everything is finally back to normal.

I am forcing Merill to take care of his puppy. He is rethinking this whole dog thing but I know that he wont send the pup back.

We finally got our baby. We named him Lestat Almer. Merill is a big Anne Rice fan. I did not want to name my child after a famous vampire character but its just a name right?

We took our family picture. It was our first of many. I still can not believe that were parents.

author's note:
I have the mod that allows same sex marriage/woohoo. Alfredo was indeed pregnant by Merill. I try to make this seem like the norm (the whole men getting pregnant) afterall its a sims game and some people have aliens. As much as I could use a female to have their baby I choose not to. This is also true for the lesbians in my game. I think Lestat is so cute! thanks for reading.

Madeline Leopardi- Ch7

Madeline (29) her fiancee, William Webster (32) Madeline's daughter Kayla (12)
Narrated by Madeline

William has moved in and we could not be happier. I love that the gardening is now his responsibility.

The cooking on the other hand I have made my own responsibility. He almost burned the house down! He was so shocked while I went and got the extinguisher. The fire department came to make sure we were OK.

*********

The beauty you see here is my daughter Kayla. She was so excited that I allowed her to wear some makeup for her birthday party. Kayla has been through a lot so I wanted to make sure she had a great party. She was happy that even her father had agreed to come.

Everyone showed up for the party. My poor brother-in-law Chris was even trying to start a smustle competition but was unsuccessful.

The cake cutting was a little chaotic. My family was doing their own thing and it was hard to get even Kayla interested in the cake.

It felt great to see Aiden and Kayla starting to bond. Aiden has always been a great dad but ever since I told him I was engaged he has changed. I hope that my pending marriage to William doesnt destroy what remains of our relationship.

Cleaning up after the party is always the most tiring thing. William attacked the kitchen...

While I cleaned the bathroom. either way I am still happy that my Kayla had a great birthday party.

We bought Kayla a toy making bench for her birthday. She started working on making toys right away. She says that she will not stop until she gets a gold badge. I am still holding out. She is only 13 and may have a change of heart.

My quad brother surprised us by stopping by. I thought he had headed back to Rush Springs but it turns out that they had stayed the weekend. I miss my brother a lot especially since Ivan died last year. I think that brought us all together.

Rodrigo is also helped Kayla with some toy making tips. I never thought Rodrigo would be a toy builder. I guess artistic skills run in the family.

William brought his instruments and placed them in our garage. I have been messing with his guitar a bit to try to get a feel for it. William says that we need to get Kayla involved and we can make a band. I think not.

At dinner time, Rodrigo made a big deal about asking when our wedding will be. I started asking the same thing but for some reason William got a little defensive. He said he didn't want to discuss it at the table but I did.

William said that he did want to marry me but he had just moved in. He did make a good argument and I felt foolish that I even had brought it up. Rodrigo apologized for bringing up the subject.

Things are good with my family. I am sure William loves me as much as I love him. I should not be in such a rush to get married. For now I am just happy that we are in love and are all happy.
