Delaney Brown- ch 2- What up with this baby?

Parker (26) Laurel (26) Delaney (Parker's brother) (30)
Narrated by Delaney.

Laurel and I are settling in to our married life quite right if I do say so myself.  She has been asking if we are ready to have a baby.

It's not that I don't want a baby but we just got here and we are both are trying to start our businesses. For now all Laurel has on her mind is having a baby. I think it because Emma just had her son and now baby talk is all that I hear.

The baker seems to be picking up quite a lot. People are starting to come from all over for Laurel's cakes.  I may have to start hiding some samples for my own pleasure.

Even though Brody was born a few months ago, Emma and Jack managed to come over for dinner.  Mackenzie also came along.  Parker was ecstatic to have the girls at our home.

Emma was having fun but if Brody made a noise she was ready to rescue him.  Seeing this made me wonder if I was actually ready to have kids. Laurel of course brought the discussion up in front of the girls.  They were all in shock that I did not want to have a baby right away.

Laurel was even more frustrated when MacKenzie announced they were also expecting.  I told Laurel to relax it would all be OK. After all this was not a race.  This was our lives. Dinner didn't end too great and MacKenzie even apologized for announcing her pregnancy.

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

A few day's later I came home and Emma was there visiting.  It was so nice to see her and Baby Brody.  He looked nice and comfy in his little diaper. Emma and I talked and she knew where I was coming from with the baby thing. Our talk was good.  I also realized I wanted a little Brody all for myself. 


That night I talked to Laurel and told her I was ready for us to start trying. She too was ready. Well lets be real she has always been ready. 

Parker came down and was happy to see we were going to start trying to have a baby. She said she was happy that everyone was focused on babies while she was trying to plan her wedding.  I know my sister is nervous for her upcoming nuptials but come on shes a wedding planner! I am sure she will do fine.  As for me I am just planning the birth of my baby.

Emma Cooke Ch 2- Here come the Gardeners

Emma(26) her husband Jack (29)

Narrated by

Jack and I have never been busier than now.  I am trying to get into the thing called a garden club.  While Jack is trying to help his law firm grow. Amongst all that we discovered I was pregnant.  We were so excited with our news.

Like I mentioned before I was trying to get into the garden club but I also had to keep my business up and running.  Clients are beginning to flock to my store and that makes me happy.  I am glad that business is definitely picking up.

The gardens are alive and doing well. I needed to make sure that my fields were presentable  The famous garden club were going to come to judge it..

While I was busy with the garden club, Jack helped me by being my temp cashier. He didn't like it but I though he looked cute behind the register.

But soon it was time for me to take over the register. I had no time to celebrate that I made it into the garden club.  Yes I sure did!! Of course I wanted to celebrate but couldn't do it at the moment. I had a bunch of customers waiting to be attended.

I invited the girls over to celebrate. Jack took the opportunity to hang out with Delaney, Malcolm and Carter. Its great that they get along like we do.  We all had news to share.  It was great getting caught up with our daily lives. I still remember when we used to live in the same home.  Now its sad that we all live separately. But we had to grow up and here we are.

We sat down to watch some movies.  We had such a blast watching movies and trying to come up with baby names. 

Its sad when its time for everyone to go home. There are times when I wished we all lived together.

But then again I love when Jack comes home. I wouldn't trade my life for anything in the world.

Then it was time to welcome our baby.  Jack was worried and wanted me to go to the hospital. I wanted to wait a little more.


That night we welcomed our son Brody Jack Cooke.  Jack was ecstatic but nervous to hold our baby boy.

Deeba Shalo- Can I just Graduate?

Deeba Shalo (20)
Junior year in College~~

Yes I know I have to study but to be honest, I really really like Jihoon Cooper.  Now if only he would like me!

I see him talking to all these girls and I honestly don't think that I have a chance. Why is it that he doesn't like me?  I couldn't focus too much on him because I still have school to worry about.

To my shock one of my classmates, Ted asked me out.  I honestly didn't think that we had anything in common let alone that he like me.  I gave him a chance and decided to go out with him.

Honestly it took a little while but we did hit it off. Ted is so into studying and he wants to make sure we both graduate on time. He consistently helps me with my class work and vice versa. 

Of course the minute Ted and I make it official Jihoon wants to me to go out with him.  He did not accept No too lightly.  I don't know what I was thinking when I said I liked him.  Now I just see him as an obnoxious person.

My sister came by to visit.  I was surprised to see she was pregnant with my second nephew or niece. We talked about school and my upcoming senior year.  She hoped that I was keeping my studies in order.  I know it was bad but I did not introduce her to Ted.  I know my family and they would not approve.

Ted is so great I don't know who wouldn't accept him into their family.  I know my family and they would not want me to date him.  They would want me to date a nice Indian boy but honestly none are on campus.  For now Ted is all I want and need.

But as much as I love Ted, I have to focus on my studies. So we both took a break and decided to hit the books.  This last term paper was a killer but now it's behind me.

                                                                        Senior year~~

Our finals are over but classes started right back up.  Ted has been a little bit of a pain lately. He's always asking me if I am happy with him and if I feel like graduation is certain.  Of course I am happy with him.  I love him.  It's just funny that hes like a nervous lately.

Then I found out why.  He bent down one one knee and I couldn't believe what was happening.

Here was Ted asking me to marry him.  I couldn't do anything but before I knew it I was saying, "yes". 

News gets around campus quickly.  Everyone was asking me if it was true that I was getting married. Then they were asking if I was going to get married before or after graduation.  I didn't know the answer to these questions. For now I just want to get through my classes.

At last classes were over and we were graduating.  Ted wants to move back with me so that we can start wedding planning. He thinks my family will be fine with our marriage but I am still not sure.

For now I am putting that on the back burner and just concentrating on my graduation. I am finally graduating.  I am not sure what I will do with my history degree. I am just happy that I have graduating.
Author's note:
I am still trying to work the college scene.  I try to get my sims to socialize but they just refuse to.  Maybe next round my college sims will be a little more active.  Yay for Deeba's engagment!

Frances Washington III Ch 2- Lets share our happiness.

Frances(35) ex of  Ariel Dominguez , his wife Cecilia (27)
Narrated by Frances.

Cecila and I are having a great time being married. She supports my decision to get a master's to further my medical career.

It does hurt me that my kids don't want to come as often as they used to.  The older kids are too busy and my youngest child with Ariel is refusing to come.  Cecilia understands and tells me that the kids need time to get used to my new marriage.

I have to admit that she is taking it easy with my teenage kids. Ben and Estelle are some what friendly with her. I don't think that they know what role Cecilia will play in their lives.

To our surprise Cecilia told me that she was expecting.  We didn't plan it but I am happy at the same time.  I am going to be a dad again and I can't wait to see my baby girl or boy.  Cecilia is ecstatic.

We celebrated that we were going to be parents.  For a brief second I thought about my kids and how they were going to take the new of a new sibling.

For now we were just enjoying the moment for ourselves.  There will be time to tell the kids of their new baby brother/sister.

Ben and Estelle took it OK. Ben had a few questions like, "is your baby going to really be my little brother/sister".  I didn't get mad. We just answered the questions and in the end I think we are all settled withe the idea. My youngest Nianna refused again to come see me.  I am going to have to talk to Ariel about this. But for now I am happy that my older kids appear to be happy for me.

Orlando Bertino Ch. 4- Underneath my skin

Orlando (29) ex of Lizandra Barillas
Narrated by Orlando

Things between Jasmine and I are not headed in the right direction. I see here and I wonder why in the world I am still dating her.

It's not happening with just Jasmine but it's also with the other girl I was dating, Jill.  We met up for a quick bite and she was so annoying. Seriously had nothing interesting to say.  I honestly just wanted to get out of there.

Now Alexa is totally a different story.  I can't wait to be with her. Lately she is all that I think about.  She has somehow she has gotten under my skin.

I have been dating Alexa for a while.  I finally asked her if she wanted to formalize things between us.  She was shocked that I asked.  One thing that we have is common is our love for uncommitted relationships. We like having a variety.

But she said yes. She wants us to try dating just each other. Hopefully things will work between us.

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

One thing is that she keeps our life spicy. I know that  I can not live with out Alexa. I hope that she feels the same way about me.

I decided to get take a gamble and bought a ring.  She was shocked when I slid it to her on my dinning room table. She could not believe that I was truly asking her to get married.

She told me I was pushing the envelope. I thought she would say no but she surprised her and myself by saying yes.

We had a simple ceremony.  It was just her and I and the justice of the peace. This is the way we wanted it. Just the two of us.

Alexa was shaking when she put the ring on my finger. We said our vows and now we can say we are a married couple.

Author's note:
Love live the Bertinos. It took forever for Orlando to wish to get engaged. I was scared that I was going to have him date all of the townies  In the end Alexa was the one that triggered the engagement roll. I was so ecstatic and married him off before he changed his mind! lol.  So here they are.
