Wills 2- Not all lawyers are rats...

**Oops! I forgot to post this in round 2! Sorry if anyone gets confused!**


Michael asks his girlfriend Marylena to move in with him. He thinks she's everything that he'll need in a wife, she's got a great job as a flight officer in the military, she's strong willed and independent, and she has a good reputation. As a budding lawyer, Mike will need a woman who he can trust won't ruin his reputation, and Marylena certainly wouldn't.

Mike is doing really well in his career right now. He's a family attorney right now, but he is working his way up the law ladder. He hopes to be the top judge in PC Province one day. Or at least just Purity Creek or maybe Vanity Ravine. He and Marylena eat dinner together every night after he comes home from work. He is sometimes embarrassed to come home from work, sometimes with a friend, and see her in her pajamas, but he'd never mention it to her. She helps pay the bills...

Marylena has been promoted to senior officer, and she has found a friend in Kenya Hernandez. They are both relieved to find friends in this town where they are new and they spend time together often.

After breakfast one day, Marylena feels very ill. She puts two and two together and realizes she is most likely pregnant! She worries for a bit because they live in a crappy little house in Purity Creek, and they aren't married or even engaged!

Marylena tells Michael about her pregnancy, and he immediately proposes. Hopefully you don't get the wrong idea however, because Mike was going to propose to Marylena soon anyway! Mike tells her not to worry about the house, he got a big bonus at work and bought a slightly bigger two story house in Vanity Ravine. Mike and Marylena both decide to just marry quickly, neither of them really want to stop working to have a major production, especially with a move AND a baby on the way! Congrats to Michael and Marylena Willis!

Hernandez (2)-Not a fairy tale

"Hola Kenya! I've missed you my love! Let me show you our new home..."
Kenya is excited to see the new home she'll live in with the love of her life, Carlos. She's getting her hopes up and picturing a cute little picket fenced house on the good side of Purity Creek. She obviously is from Vanity Ravine and hasn't realized that Purity Creek is not fully developed yet, all the families haven't moved in yet, all the neighborhoods being built by the government (especially the good hoods) haven't been finished and probably won't be for a few more years. So, she meets up with Carlos at the corner of Main street, because he doesn't have a car and he wanted to be there when she saw the house....

Kenya can't say she's entirely impressed. They live in a tiny trailer with two closets for bedrooms and its a little dirty and very plain. However, Kenya likes to look on the bright side...hopefully she'd find some new friends in Purity Creek and things wouldn't be so bad.

Unfortunately, Kenya has not had any luck finding friends. She just got a promotion in the military job that she HATES but is keeping until she and Carlos have a little more money to their name. Some nights she invites some of her coworkers back home with her, but that doesn't usually turn out well.
"What do you mean you don't like make-up!"
"Why would I like make-up lady! I'm a MAN!"

Some good news is that Carlos and Kenya made things completely official. It was a pretty big ceremony, well pretty big for the growing Purity Creek population..., and had 10 attendants. They had the wedding in the smallish yard of the trailer home, and it was pretty cramped. Kenya begins to realize she doesn't know what she got herself into....

But she knows it could be worse. Carlos treats her so well and she really does love him. This isn't the fairytale life, but its a pretty good one regardless.

And with the coming addition to this small family, life will either get better, or too stressful for Kenya to handle...

Lombardi- The talented, the shy, the mob boss, and the black sheep.

The Lombardi children have been experimenting in music lately, under the influence of their very musical mother. Alexia Jane seems to have a knack for singing, while Connor likes to play the piano. TJ, ever the black sheep, does not participate in music. Instead he focuses on other things...like cheating on his long time girlfriend Melanie.

Mary is visited by members of her mob at all hours of the night. They've been working their hardest on recruiting new members from all walks of life. Mary is an equal opporotunity employer, and is a believer in 2nd chances...as long as you are willing to do whatever it takes to get a second chance.

Connor is a bright and quiet boy. He doesn't have any friends besides his lovely older sister. Wherever she goes, he goes. Unless of course she's going somewhere while he plays his piano.

TJ takes his younger brother and sister to the park one day. Mary of course was suspicious, but Lindi defended her eldest son, saying he loved his siblings and wanted to do something nice for them. While TJ does love his brother and sister, he knew Mary wouldn't let him leave the house to go meet a "friend" of his...Melanie comes from good money, and is an orphan, meaning her whole fortune will belong to the Lombardi's when they marry. Mary is not willing to risk that fortune on her grandson'n escapades.

Lindi should start getting suspicious of her eldest child. He is uncontrollable...you never know what kind of trouble he could get into. Mary is glad he will be leaving for college in just a few short years and she won't have to keep a constant watch on him. In some ways she wishes she could go along, to make sure he stays away from one of his latest "friends", the very young Lauren Appleberry....

Martin- New move, boring lives

Daniel has been helping out at the flower shop lately. He's the only kid to take an interest in it so far so naturally, his grandparents make him help out. He's great at selling things. Sylvie, his grandmother, thinks he has a way with words. Well, whatever it is it doesn't look like Kai Cho is buying it!


The Martins moved to a really nice apartment this past year. Even with new surroundings though, Jade can't seem to get over her mother's death. I was just over a year and a half ago now, today would've been her mother's birthday.

Jade has been making progress, and she even was feeling happy enough to have a birthday party! That's right folks, little Jade has grown up into a lovely young woman! She has dreams of being the best reporter in Purity Creek! Or Vanity Ravine...or Bluewater! She can't make up her mind where she wants to live quite yet, but she knows that wherever she is she wants lots and lots of friends.

Appleberry- Very busy people

A very busy season for the Appleberry family. May was busy setting fires in her brand new kitchen! She loves cooking, but she really shouldn't quit her day job.

Kirsti and Nathan hace been spending time together a lot lately. Lauren is usually off somewhere else, writing in her diary or playing with her mom's dress up clothes and make up. Kirsti and Nathan don't really mind though. They like their sister, but she talks too much on occasion. Nathan and Lauren have a birthday coming up. Nathan is very excited.

Matthew gets a part time job to help pay the house bills. The toy store has been doing okay lately, but with the move the Appleberrys need all the money they can get.

May decides she'd better learn to cook! She can't keep setting the kitchen on fire. Unfortunately all she can think about while trying to study is making out with Ivan. Focus May!

Baby Christian is getting bigger! He's got red hair like his grandfather did and he loves playing with the toys his momma makes for him. Even Mr. Brick.

Nathan and Lauren got bigger too! Turning 13 is a big deal around here. Nathan decides he wants lots and lots of money in his life, and he wants to be a great business man someday. He doesn't know what his business will be, but whatever it is he'll be great at selling it!

Lauren is a very pretty girl. She thinks she looks a little square right now, but as soon as she can she'll be fixing her hair and buying makeup. Lauren decides she's a romance kind of girl. Lauren apparently really liked pretending and dressing up as a little kid because she never wants to stop! Lauren has dreams of being a famous actress one day! Her parents aren't sure why they need to send her to college for that, but oh well. At least its an experience...right?

Sorry about not having any baby pictures for Chris! My bad! Sorry!

Cho- The flu?

Yu has been handling baby Andrew very nicely. He's been dealing with the little tyke on his own quite often lately, Kai came down with some sort of flu about 1 year after Andy was born. She's been bed-ridden for what seems like weeks now. It's a good thing she just helps out at the store of she'd be out of a job!


For a few months, Kai made improvements. Actually, she was much better. Yu was glad for that, Andrew was kind of an ornery child, and not one that only a single parent can handle! (Yu doesn't mention the fact that both his parents were helping...)
Kai did seem to be getting sick again, but this time it was mainly nausea that got her down. A stomach bug maybe?

After a few doctors visits in the summer, Kai and Yu discovered they were expecting! This was very exciting for Kai, and although Yu was happy, he wasn't looking forward to another stubborn child like Andrew. Yu put those kinds of thoughts in the back of his mind though, and let his happiness for the new baby take over. He did love kids after all.


Andrew just turned 2! His grandparents help out waaaaaaaaaaaaay more than before now. Kai is always so tired but thats to be expected when you are 8 months pregnant, Yu seems to be catering to her every need. Maybe he thinks if he's more attentive to Kai during her pregnancy, the baby will be a lovely child. Anyway, the grandparents are very excited about the new baby. However, the older Mrs. Cho has caught an illness, presumably a cold. She seems to be dealing with her sickness rather nicely though, much more than can be said for Kai when she was sick.

Kai has given birth to Allison Cho a little ahead of schedule. She is somewhat ornery, but not as bad as Andrew. She's got everyone wrapped around her finger, apparently even Andy. He often stumbles into her room to 'play with her toys' but everyone know he's watching over his sleeping sister. All in all, a very exciting season for the Cho's.

Willis- Fresh start for a quiet intern

Samuel Willis is living on his own. He's the youngest of the Willis Clan, and this is the first time in his life he's ever been on his own. Even in college, he was living with Michael and another roomate of his. Sammy doesn't mind being alone though, it was bound to happen sometime.

Sam quickly befriends the other tenants in his apartment building. His most frequent visits go to Miss Vamsi, a lovely widow who is very motherly. She hadn't had any children herself, because her husband hadn't ever wanted any before he died. She discovered 10 years after his death that he'd had an affair with his secretary and had a son in Sim City. Samuel loves hearing about Miss Vamsi's stories(not all of them are sad).


Samuel is currently an intern at St. Peter Hospital in Vanity Ravine. It's still being built in some places and needs improvement in others, but of course, Sam doesn't mind. As long as he has a job in the medical feild he's very satisfied. He hopes to get a job as a pediatrician at the newly built St. Patrick Hospital in Purity Creek.

Sam has been dating his girlfriend Caryl on and off for a year and half now, almost as long as he's been in Purity Creek. She's a detective in Vanity Ravine, and very successful. Caryl is a few years younger than Sam and very accomplished. Sam's indifferent about her being more accomplished though. He never was the type to fuss over such things. Sam and Caryl sent out their wedding announcement last week, and they'll be moving from Sam's cruddy apartment to Caryl's little house in Vanity Ravine.

Bumbai- Bundles of Joy

Ammi and Matt Appleberry have been spending quite a bite of time together recently. Ammi is indeed quite smitten, although she really doesn't want to commit. She decides to impress Matt with her ice skating skills one day, but her plan fails miserably as she falls and Matt has to help her up...
"Ow..."


Ammi doesn't ever want a fall like that to happen again when she takes a date skating, so she works out and does some exercises that are supposed to help with balance. Ammi decides she really has a thing for fitness, although its not her favorite thing to do.

Ankara finds herself pregnant again, and she decides this little one will be her last. She loves Gavin very much, and she is sure she will love her new child aswell, but kids are just too much!

Not everyone thinks kids are too much! Gavin is loved by everyone, even friends of his grandmother and parents will just stop in his room to see him. He's so adorable, how can they help themselves?

No wonder Ankara is pregnant! She and Kartek go at it all the time lately, it's like they have a newfound love for each other. It might be that they're both so happy with how well the bookstore has been doing AND Kartek is pleased that his family no longer has such a bad reputation.

Gavin is getting very big. He just celebrated his 5th birthday and is very excited to start kindergarten at Purity Creek Elementary School. He's looking forward to meeting lots of new people...and torment them...

The Bumbai's are visited by a burglar! Luckily, Officer Demi catches the fiend before she gets away! Of course, Ankara would've lent a hand in capturing the theif, but she is in a very delicate condition.

Ankara gives birth to a finicky baby girl named Raquel. Seriously, the girl cries all the time! Ankara is a bit stressed.What happend? Gavin was much more pleasant as a baby.

Even after living with Kartek's mother, and having two children together, Kartek and Ankara are still very much in love. They bought a plot of land out by the McGraw's farm. Lots of people are moving out that way as more money is earned. The house should be done soon. They hope it's spacey, their little abode is currently very crowded with two kids and Ammi!

Hernandez-Teen Twins

Note- The baby boy in the McGraw family is called Austin NOT Alex! My mistake!

The Hernandez family has moved into a new house, really close to the McGraw farm. They really seem to like it there, theres a ton more space for the kids to run around.
Before long, it's time for a quadruple birthday!Cat, Dani and the boys are all getting older. The girls will be turning 13, so Carmen thinks a birthday party is a necessity. She's excited that they'll be able to help her around the house and with the little ones more now, but she feels old.
Dani goes first.....
Cat goes next...

Dani helped with Pablo

While Carmen handled Francisco


Both kids are as cute as a button! Carmen and Juan couldn't be happier with how all their children are turning out so far, and Carmen is hoping for a few more...
The girls go on a shopping trip at Cho's Tailor shop. They find clothes that suit them. Catalina wants lots and lots of friends, while Danielle just wants to find a nice boy to settle down with someday and have a lovely family. Both girls are very beautiful and they boys of PC will discover them soon! Not too soon though hopefully, they are only 13 after all.
Dani brings a boy home from school! He's a bit shy torwards her, but she doesn't mind. Cat teases them for a while, but its all in good fun.
The girls are both making good grades in school. Their parents are very proud. One day though, the Lombardi kid came home with Dani. Carmen and Juan don't like this one bit! The kid is like 17! What does he want with 13 year olds?!?!?! Juan especially is very worried...he see this kid at the reseraunt almost every night, a different girl with him too!

Catalina seems to have taken a liking to him! Dani hopes that her sister just has a puppy crush, but she guesses that it won't matter anyway, their parents will never approve of Cat having such a relationship with Tj anyway.
Dani finds Tj disgusting actually, and he just invited himself over to her house. She wonders what he thinks was going to happen.
Poor Cat! Hopefully she finds another boy soon, because with this one her heart will break!
