I'm Every Women-Chapter 2-Magic Beans

If I was going to have a big happy family, I was going to make sure and do it just like Nana did with me.  I read to Sebastian as much as I could and I have to say I did enjoy this quality time we had together.  It really reminded me all those first years I spent with my Nana.  I really do miss those days.

I had to earn money to pay the bills and put food on the table so everyday I tended the plants.  I worked on my gardening skills so that I would eventually become skilled enough to raise dragon fruit which would be my money crop.

Sebastian was eager to learn how to garden too.  He was so adorable with his little shovel.  I have a feeling this little guy will have a green thumb someday.

Little did I know my gardening was going to come in handy as the sim gods sent us sims on Earth a special challenge.  They sent a sim named Jasmine Holiday to help spread the word.

Jasmine gave me a tree stump and asked that I start collecting magic beans

I had to ask these Plant Sims who were wandering around for a magic bean and depending on their mood they would give me a certain colored bean.   That plant sim turned out to be Mortimer Goth.  I wonder how he became a plant sim.

Mortimer was feeling very confident that day so he gave me the bean that was color coordinated for confidence.  I was very curious to see what would happen once I found all the beans so I decided to continue asking.

Rodolfo was feeling sad and he gave me the color bean which represented sadness.

I really did have my hands full with all my responsibilities.  Being a successful women at everything was not going to be easy and in fact it was going to be tiring.  I was reminded of this every morning when Sebastian would come into my room to wake me up, loudly.

He would quiet down as soon as we sat down for breakfast.  I would give him a bowl of cereal and make some bacon and eggs for myself.  I did learn something that day which did start to make my life a bit easier.

Akira always came over to visit us on his own without invitation.  For some reason he invited himself over for an extended visit.  While I was tending the plants and collecting beans Sebastian asked our visitor for a bath.  Akira is his daddy and just because he doesn't live here (or he needs to be told he doesn't live here) doesn't mean Sebastian can not ask him for a bath.

Akira did it.  He gave Sebastian a bath.  So all Sebastian had to do was ask Akira for food or anything else.....

like Flash Cards and Akira would do it.  Akira did turn out to be a good father after all.

Meantime I could get back to my Challenges.  The only bean I needed was flirty plus my big happy family requirements wanted me to have another child. Rodolfo was pretty handsome and for some reason he always seemed to be a plant sim in the daytime hours.  So while Akira was busy taking care of our son, I was flirting with another man.  I know how that sounded but I had challenges to take care of and they won't get completed on their own.

I guess Akira didn't like the fact that I was flirting with Rodolfo because he left right after that (Akira does have the jealous trait) and he didn't even stay for for Sebastian's birthday cake.  Now I feel bad because Akira really was a good father.  Who knows maybe I should ask Akira to father the next baby instead of Rodolfo.  I'm not doing the 100 baby challenge (Thankfully the Sim God didn't pick me for that one.  Raven you have your work cut out for you) so I could invite Akira over for another night of passion. Rodolfo did stay to celebrate the birthday.

Sebastian blew out his candles twisted and spun around and grew into a child.

He grew into cute little Squeamish Whiz Kid to be exact.

My plan with Rodolfo worked because the next day he was still feeling a bit flirty and ......

I did get the last bean from him.

Do I desire to step within?  I sure as all hell do!  I watered the tree stump and within seconds......

A huge tree sprouted out.  Boy I wish dragon fruit could grow at that rate.

I stepped inside and this is what happened.

I had some kind of strange fruit in my pocket so I had to decide should I eat it or plant it.  My choice was to plant it.  Maybe dragon fruit won't be my cash crop, maybe this magically fruit would be.

Well my financial problems would be solved shortly and Sebastian was still in school.  I decided to take advantage of the peace and quiet so I took a nice long relaxing bath to pamper myself.  I had no worries at all, I mean what could go wrong.

Author's Note:  Alexis' has completed 2/4 of the big happy family aspiration:

Hopefully her next child will be more of a social butterfly than Sebastian is.   No worries we are going to make sure that Sebastian does get married.

I decided to try and get all the children's aspirations completed also so far on Sebastian and so far he is 2/3 on the whiz kid aspiration.

However with only 3 days left until he is a teen I'm not sure he is going to make it.

I also decided that Alexis must participate in every challenge that happens during this challenge.  Alexis did collect all the beans and pretty soon she will become a plant sim for a couple of days.
