I'm Every Woman-Chapter 5-A Growing Family

I don't understand where I went wrong with Sebastian but one night he gave me the surprise of my life.

I thought he was just on a dinner date with Ryleigh but it wasn't that innocent.

Sebastian proposed to her and they.....

they decided to get married right than and there.  Later on I found out the reason for the quickie marriage.

It turns out that I'm going to be a grandmother.  I thought I taught Sebastian not to have unprotected sex but I guess he wasn't listening.  I did read the riot act to both of them.  I guess I should be glad that Sebastian is being a man about this and is taking responsibility for his actions and I will have a new grandchild to love very soon.

I just hope Brandi starts behaving better before we have another baby in the house.

Brandi seems to be teaching Ryleigh the difficult side of parenting.

Even Chantel who normally is very well behaved acts out a bit.

Sebastian took care of the problem and Chantel did clean up the mess that she made.  I do have to say that I taught him well.

Akira asked me to go to the romance festival with him and to my surprise he looked a bit older.  Strangely I don't feel like I have aged a bit in fact I still feel like a young adult.  I guess I should thank God for that but I'm going to hate losing Akira.

I threw some petals at him and we spent the rest of the day enjoying the festival. I guess I better enjoy the time I have left with him instead of worrying about the inevitable.  I'll have plenty of time to worry about that when it happens.

Akira started to come around more to spend more time with the kids which I'm sure they will treasure those memories.

I even encouraged Chantel to write all about in her journal.  She loves that journal and writes in it almost every day.

Before we even knew it Brandi celebrated her birthday right after using the potty. She was a bit sad because there was no birthday cake and I blame myself for that. With everything else going on in the house I lost track of time.  To make it up to her I took her shopping for new clothes and to the beauty parlor.

She really enjoyed all the pampering and loved her new clothes.  She really did turn out to be a beauty.  Like her sister she looks just like her dad.

She has expressed an interest in art and is often coloring and sketching pictures.  I think I might have a budding artist on my hands.

Chantel has been attached at the hip to Sebastian.  They were always very close but now that he has Ryleigh and a child of his own on the way I think she might feel a bit threatened.

She even will tell him all of her problems and often asks for his advice.

He is always around to help and listen to her problems.  He just wants to reassure Chantel that he will love her no matter what happens.

In addition to a new grandchild I also decided to adopt a puppy.  This is Chloe the Bichon Frise.  She is just way too adorable.

She grow into an adult dog before we knew it and now she really looks like a bichon frise.

This is a the last picture we have of Akira.  He died soon after.

Its time for the baby.

My first Grandchild is a boy who they named Argus.  After his birth Sebastian and Ryleigh moved out when he knocked her again.  There was not enough room for all of us.

Since all of this happened I wasn't too good with taking pictures so let me get everyone caught up to date with the changes in the family. 

Brandi and Sebastian remained the same but Chantal aged up into a teenager.  She rolled the Public Enemy aspiration and her traits are Geek and Evil.

This is Argus as a toddler and he now has twin brothers.  That many people would have never managed in my little house so it is a good thing they moved out when they did.

This is Neal.

and this is Maximus.  All babies were named by the game.  Just one more grandchild and I will be finished with my first aspiration.

Authors Note:  Somewhere along the line I started playing without taking pictures to the best thing I could do is used what pictures I had and bring this up to where I am in gameplay.

I'm Every Woman-Chapter 4-A Single Parent's Life

I awoke to find my little cutie patootie Chantel playing with her dollies.  At least she doesn't bang the dolls several times on the doll house floor before attempting to bite off their heads like I have seen other babies do.  Of course she also plays in the toilet but that is something we are going to have to deal with.

 This pregnancy is starting to get to me.  Chantel needs to be fed and bathe but she is being defiant and making it hard for me to pick her up.  This big belly is getting in the way.  The last two times I wasn't this big I do hope there is only one baby in here.

I was able to get everything sorted out with Chantel and by the time that Sebastian arrived home she is quietly playing with her blocks like a little angel. This gave me the chance to spend a little time with Sebastian.  He needed some help with his homework which I was more than happy to provide.

I needed to tend the garden so Sebastian offered to watch his sister for a little while.

Which turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I went into labor.  I quickly called for a cab and the next call was to Akira and I told him to meet me at the hospital.

Of course Akira was doing his usual panic dance.  It's our third baby you think he would be used to this by now.  The doctor stood still and looked as if he were a statue.

Akira took off for parts unknown and the doctor was still standing out there.  No one was paying attention to me at all and I'm the patient.  Oh well I guess I'll have a soda while waiting instead of those stupid ice chips.

The nurse showed up now too and both of them were still out there not even moving an inch.

More contractions hit and this is when I had enough.  I went out there screaming for them to get this baby out of me right this minute.  I didn't care if they thought I was the crazy pregnant lady in a hospital gown with ducks on it screaming I was in pain and they were doing nothing.  And would someone tell me who is the world would put ducks on a hospital gown!

Finally they decide to move a bit.  I guess you have to get loud sometimes to get service.

Luckily it was only one baby but she was over 9 pounds, the largest baby I ever had.  I guess that explains why I was so big.  I still couldn't find Akira around anywhere but we already decided on Brandi for a baby girl.

Chantel took one look at me with the baby and she wasn't happy at all.  She kept following Akira around saying "Up!  Up!"  I have a feeling she might be a little jealous of her sister.  I guess I will just have to make sure that she knows we love her just as much as Brandi and Sebastian.

A friend of Sebastian decided to drop in for a visit.  He seems to be quite taken with her.

Her name is Ryleigh Bheeda and she seems to be a nice girl.  *She looks familiar I must investigate*

He asked her out to the new bowling alley that just opened in town but she declined.

However she did stay to cloud gaze with him for a while.

Chantel seems to start demanding attention whenever I pick up Brandi so while Brandi is sleeping I make an extra effort to show attention to her.

Sebastian did his part to keep Chantel distracted while I was caring for Brandi.

Chantel started playing in the toilet again so I had to lay down the law on what she could and couldn't do whether or not she liked it.

I also had to make sure that Sebastian was doing his homework.

I just wish he wouldn't do it in the bathroom right in front of the door.

Pretty soon Brandi was literally jumping out of the bassinet, through my back and onto the floor.

Oh I can tell this one is going to be trouble.  Just look at that face.

I fixed her hair up a bit and bought her that cute little hate but she is ever so fussy and quite a handful.  I thought Chantel was work but she was an angel compared to Brandi.

Instead of playing with the dolls nicely like Chantel, Brandi decided it was more fun to smash the dollhouse.

I couldn't accept this behavior from Brandi so I had to be firm but understanding while disciplining her.  She has to learn to respect other people's property and I would like her to learn how to take care of her own toys.

Sebastian had some trouble with some acne but I told him not to worry as he is a handsome boy.

It wasn't long before I was baking a birthday cake for my son and for Chantel. Both of them had their birthdays on the same day.  I wanted to throw a party but with two toddlers in the house I didn't seem to have the time.

At least they did have a cake and we had a small celebration.  First Sebastian blew out his candles,

and it was Chantel's turn to blow out the candles.

Chantel rolled the Social Butterfly aspiration and the geek trait.  She also acquired the Happy Toddler trait from her toddler skills.  She looks just like her father.

Sebastian rolled the Soulmate Aspiration and the Vegetarian trait.

Author's Note-If Ryleigh looks familiar to you its because she has the same parents as Tamika in my Drifter Challenge.  If you are not familiar with my drifter challenge I will post her picture down below.  SP must have impregnated that same couple in both save files and they had two girls that looked as if they were twins. Since she already declined Sebastian for a date but I have been working on their relationship.

Here is Alexis' progress up until now.

Sebastian is going to have to get married and have children in order for her to complete this aspiration.
