Beckett- Lonely?

Sorry it's been so long! I've been busy busy! I finally got AL and I played through three families: Beckett, McGraw, and Hernandez, I'm working on Bumbai so we'll so how that goes! Enjoy!

Patricia and her fiancee Richard Beckett have moved into a trailer a few blocks away from Patti's brother Sam. Richard has received a job as a security guard in the bank nearby. His dream is to one day become a great hero to all of PC, but Patti thinks his dream is a bit childish, and that he'll only manage to become a patrol officer. While Richard leaves her for work, Patti socializes with the neighbors like Joe here.
Richard and Patti have no time for things like wedding parties! The baby is fastly approaching, and Patti didn't want a big ceremony(she's rather ashamed of being married you see).
"Okay, I'll marry you, yadda yadda, let's get this show on the road!"
Don't think just because Richard works that Patti's always lonely! Sammy visits often, telling stories about his new girlfriend.
Oh look! Richie's home. Richard likes to stay fit, and loves having protein shakes for snacks. Patti thinks this is nor normal, and she wishes he'd eat one of her pies.
Patti goes into labor! Richard had just arrived home from work, and Patti had dinner on the stove! It's a good thing Richard had arrived, otherwise the house might have burned down! Patti is claiming that Richard just stood there panicking like an idiot after taking the spaghetti off the stove, he didn't even call the doctor!
Kaleb Beckett is a beautiful baby who so far looks exactly like his mother! Patti is very proud, but she's eager to get back to the bakery!
Of course being pregnant did interfere with Patti's intimacy with Richard. Now that Kaleb has been born, Patti can spend more time with Richie, she may not be completely sure that she loves her husband, but he makes her happy, and he's good with Kaleb, thats all that matters to her.
Before long, Kaleb becomes a toddler! Patti worked all day making a cake and getting things ready for his birthday party.
I see some Richard in there! Kaleb is an incredibly cute kid, Patti and Richard dote on him constantly. Since Patti's bakery has been doing really well lately, and Richard finally became a patrol officer, Patti has decided to build a house out by the McGraw's farmhouse, and the site of the ew Hernandez house.
Kaleb is also a very fast learner. He learned to walk and talk very quickly! The potty training is taking a bit longer, but he has time yet.
Looks like its a good thing the Beckett's will be moving into another house! Patti's gonna have another baby! She's not so excited, but she knows she'll love this baby as much as she loves Kaleb. She just isn't sure she was ready to have a family yet, and she is especially sure she doesn't like being tied down....

Patti and Richard ignore each other most of the time. Richard is Popularity/Family, so all he does is want to have babies and make friends, and he has no wants for Patti! Patti is Popularity/Pleasure so all she wants to do is go on dates and make friends and go on dates with friends. There is one guy that she likes way better than Richard, but we may see him later.

Good news, and bad news. Mostly bad news.

Ooooooooooookay, so something awful has happend. The pictures I took for the next 5 families we not saved. I do have 1 picture of each though. So you will not be meeting them yet. I'll give you a basic rundown of what happend during their rounds so you will be all caught up.

This is Patty Willis, my favorite sim EVER! Seriously! Anyway, Patty and her brothers( Sammy and Michael(Mickey)) moved to PC after their alchoholic dad kicked the bucket and left them enough money for Patty to live her dream; the dream of being a baker. Michael is the more serious of the group, with Patty being the wild child and Sammy being the hippy. He gets a job in the law career. All three start dating, Sammy settling on one girl, Michael on 2 and Patty dates many men. She gets a little careless and winds up pregnant by a man named Richard Beckett. Anyway before all that, the business was having a slow start. They got a bad review, and only made it to level 4 or 5. Sometime between discovering Patty was pregnant and Richard moving in, Patty, Richard, and Michael all moved out of the little trailer and left it to Sammy.

This is Yu Cho. Yu came over from Desderata Valley with his family when he married his half islander wife, Kai. They started a clothing shop(that quickly reached level 10) and did very well for themselves. Kai discovered a few days into their living in PC that she was expecting, and birthed a son(whose name I cannot remember at this exact moment 0_0). Yu's parents are still very much in love with each other and are all over each other at all time, and while Kai and Yu love each other very much, they're just very career oriented. Well, Kai is, Yu would rather spend time with his family.

This is May and Ivan Appleberry. May moved to PC with her 3 kids and husband to take care of her father.( Ivan chose to take May's last name when they married because her father had no other children) They run a toy shop, which is my personal favorite establishment. Their oldest daughter Kirsti aspires to have many friends and is always on the phone. May is pregnant again but hasn't given birth, and Matthew(May's dad) is having 'relations' with Ammi Bumbai.

The old guy here is Denny Martin( he's talking to Michael Willis). Denny is a guy who wants to know everything(...about romance). He's been married and surprisingly faithful to his wife of 37 years, Sylvie. They had one daughter, Darcie, but she overdosed on bubbles and died. That left her 3 children(2 teens 1 kid) to live with their grandparents. Denny and Sylvie run a flower/gift shop. Daniel Martin(oldest teen) loves romance, and has befriended town lothario Theodore James(TJ) Lombardi. Miley Martin(second oldest teen) is bound for knowledge, wealth, and general greatness. And Jade(child), well Jade is adorable.

This here is Lindi Lombardi. Wife of Norman, daughter in law of Mayor Mary Lombardi, mother to TJ, Alexia Jane, and Connor Lucas Lombardi. Lindi is a pleasure seeker, but(to her dismay) also molds very well into the shape of a housewife. She hasn't voiced her feelings yet but I'm sure she'll go crazy sooner of later. Norman and Mary run the bank(which is doing pretty well) Mary is also running another 'business'(MAFIA) and has 'employees all over PC'. Mary added a secret VIP room onto the bank where only people she has given permission to can get in. This is the room when she discusses her plans as the mob boss and also where she gives people 'offers they can't refuse.' TJ is going to inherit all this one day, but Mary thinks he's an idiot and would much rather see Alexia Jane take over.
