Beckett/Willis(2)- All We Are

Kaylee Ariah is a big girl now and is at the top of her kindergarten class. She's a very happy go lucky and smart girl, who happens to know how to get what she wants. 13 year old Kaleb doesn't always like that fact...

Richard has been working hard to earn a living for his family, whether or not his wife appreciates it. However, he hardly spends time with her and she becomes lonely during the day. Maybe that explains the local rumors about the very very young gardener entering the house while no one is home...

13 year old Kaleb shot up like a tree this past year, and has discovered he is very interested in girls. His latest ( and probably only) conquest is named Kaylynn, and sometimes Kaleb thinks she's crazy! She's very sociable and "out there", but she and Kaleb have the same interest...kissing! It hasn't happened quite yet, but Kaleb is thinking he'll have her under his belt by the end of the year...or will it be the other way around?

Kaylee had been making loads of friends this year, and her best friend happens to be Allison Cho, who is expected to be the town trouble maker when she gets older. Kaylee stays out of her crazy plans though, like sticking a tack under the teacher's seat, or stealing marbles at recess. Sometimes though, Allison can convince Kaylee to join her charades.




Over at Michael's house, little Amethyst is approaching her 4th birthday. Michael thinks his daughter is the most precious thing to walk the earth, and he doesn't realize how mean she can be to the other little kids at the local playground or when she has play dates...

Amethyst hits 4 and starts Pre-K. Marylena has been getting notes from the teacher about Amethyst's aggressiveness, but she hopes its just a phase. After all, Amethyst seems perfectly lovely at home. Who knows what the future will bring?

haven't posted in a long time, I've been pretty busy. But I'm going to try to get around to it more often I promise! My story writing skills are still...developing...but my pictures aren't very good in these rounds and i don't have much to work with. However, that will hopefully change in a couple of rounds. I've played sooooo far ahead and so many families have come into play. I should probably figure out a way to decrease the population of my hood, but I like the diversity! Rounds nowadays take FOREVER though. Also, ages are still gonna be messed up for awhile, sorry about that! I think I mentioned them being right at least by round 11? But they might have evened out sooner than that, I'm not sure.

Willis-Expecting

Sam and Caryl Willis have been happily married and settled into their little hom for about a year now, so it's no surprise that Caryl seems to be experiencing the early signs of pregnancy. Caryl can't be entirely sure, but she's 99.9% positive she's pregnant.

Even with her sureness, Carly was surprised when she woke up one morning and noticed how big she had gotten. It seemed like she had started showing overnight!

Sam was thrilled about the baby on the way. He was acting as Caryl's doctor, alon with his husband/father responsibilities. There was something about the idea of delivering his own baby that appealed to him.

As Caryl's pregnancy progressed, discussion of the life of the child became an everyday thing. Caryl's latest ultrasound revealed that she was having a baby girl.
" I hope she likes art or music or something that gets her creative juices flowing!" Caryl mentions one night at dinner.
"You know, I think I'll be perfectly happy with whatever our baby decides to do, as long as she goes to college and makes something of herself." Sam was very serious about his children getting educated, and Caryl nodded her head in agreement. The couple have decided to name their baby girl Jeannette.

Willis 2-Welcome to the world

Michael had his growing family move into a bigger house in the city. Marylena really liked it, it would be perfect for their family of three. She often found new things to do with herself at home. She liked assisting in building a playground for her baby, and she oversaw a pool installation. Now that Marylena is home on pregnancy leave, she has a lot of free time on her hands.

Mary picked up a new hobby of restoring and reselling old and junky cars. She's determined to get Michael to let her restore a car for him one of these days.

Marylena goes into labor at the end of the year and gives birth to a baby girl, Amethyst.

Amethyst has black hair like her parents and rich brown eyes like her father. She also inherited her deep skin tone from her dad. In fact, she looks so much like him that Marylena feels left out! Michael always laughs at this and says "Maybe she'll have your personality!"

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!

Willis-Family of two

Sam and Caryl moved into a little house in Vanity Ravine together before the wedding. They had just gotten everything rearranged the way they wanted and put away a day before the big party. There were just a few close friends present, and of course the rest of the Willis clan attended.

Every good party has at least one scandal...Two of Caryl's friends( names will not be mentioned) started beating each other to a pulp! Caryl never even realized that they didn't like each other! Sam saw how the fight was making Caryl upset, so he told the culprits to either tolerate each other or leave the party. Caryl's friends stayed away from each other the rest of the reception.

Caryl decides that since she's moved to a new city, she should start making some new friends. She also befriends Patricia Beckett, Sam's sister, and she is also befriending Michael's wife Marylena. Sam will often come home from the hospital to find Caryl on the phone with someone.

Caryl and Sam are both doing very well in their jobs. University of PC Province opened up and has plenty of new students from all around the world and Sam has been helping with the medical classes there. He has talked with many of the students and so far most of them are interested in staying in the PC area, good news for Dr.Willis! Sam desperately needs the help of other doctors, there are too many people moving here for him to be the only doctor. There are hardly enough nurses around! He really needs some help. Caryl is a S.W.A.T team member, recently promoted even! Caryl is finally happy with the position she holds at work and is ready to start a family. She wonders if maybe Sam has been to busy to think about that aspect of their life yet...

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.
