Cho-Look After You

Tsung Cho has been rather lonely since his wife's untimely death last year, and maybe not in the way you are thinking! Tsung really just wants a friend, he doesn't necessarily want another love. He believe that Ming was probably the only woman who would truly have his heart. He has befriended the 18 year old, troubled gardener Erica. He has tea with her after she finishes her work everyday. Tsung discovers that Erica has been on her own since she was 14, and she currently is couch-hopping between friend's houses. Tsung doesn't believe that this is appropriate for a young woman.


While Tsung befriends the help, the other family members have other ways of coping with their grief. Kai has been working on getting her body in shape, and she is almost always working out. Yu works on his chess game, thirteen year old Andrew works on his academics and his soccer skills, and Allison copes by torturing other children.

Tsung can't stand the idea of Ericka bouncing from house to house, so he offers to share his room with her. He already sold his double bed and got 2 twins instead. He promises he doesn't snore too loudly or talk in his sleep, and she can always have first dibs on the bathroom that connects to their room. He really feels as though Ericka is another child of his and he wants her to live in a safe appropriate environment.

Tsung probably should've spent a little more time getting to know Ericka before asking her to move in, or at least he should have set some ground rules. Ericka loves to bring in many lovers when the kids are at school, and she walks around in her underwear at all hours of the night! Tsung may be in for more trouble than he asked for!

note- From now on, a lot, if not all, the titles of the posts will be songs. They might be random, they might fit what happens in the story, it will be whatever I feel like at the time. I'm actually playing through round 10 right now, so I'm obviously a little behind. I'm gonna try to put at least 2 updates up a week, but I'm starting school in mid-august so I'll be pretty busy. Well, I'm gonna try anyway! Happy Simming!

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.

Hernandez- 2 successes and 1 burglary

Juan and Carlos have been talking quite a bit lately. Juan realizes how harsh he's been on his younger brother all these years and he is also aware of how close his kids are to Carlos.


There has been a burglary at the Hernandez household! Carmen is very bent up over the whole thing. She keeps saying that the burglar could've hurt her precious children! Thankfully, he only took the TV. Juan and the boys weren't particularly happy about that...

Juan's restaraunt, La Comida Buena, has been doing well recently. He has hired some extra help since his brother, Carlos, quit his job as a waiter in order to find better work. Juan isn't angry though! Well, he isn't angry anymore...but it wasn't a pretty scene when Carlos came in for his last check.

McGraw-1 down, 3 to go

Austin Ray has been slacking off in school lately, and in the McGraw household, that is just unacceptable. To make sure Austin catches up on his homework, Anne has been watching over him to make sure he gets it done.

Alexander has been getting a lot bigger this past round, and he will be heading off to school with Austin before we know it. Ariel has been a big help to her mom and has been taking care of the youngster while Anne fishes, cooks meals, and watches Austin.

Marcus and Anne do find some time to be alone together, even with 3 kids at home and a busy farm. They cuddle together in the orchard while Alex naps and the other kids are at school.

Austin is old enough now to help with the farm. He doesn't like the work, and to be honest he isn't a very good farmer. Marcus understands that these things take time to master, but he is pretty sure he isn't going to leave the farm to Austin.

Ever since Aaron left with Kirsti for college, the house has been not as bright. He was funny and pleasant to be around, not that the other kids aren't though. Ariel is a quiet girl, and she'd rather spend her time reading over being funny. Austin is a bit of a wild child, and Anne knows she's got a future partier on her hands. Alex is a sweet little guy, but he isn't quite old enough to be "pleasant". All in all, the McGraws were very busy this past round, and will be extremely happy that Alex will soon be a child.

Opal- Welcome to the Neighborhood!

Welcome to the neighborhood twins Sophia and Seth Opal! Seth doesn't have a job currently, instead he focuses on mastering every skill he can think of, while his sister Sophia, goes to work as a substitute teacher.

Both siblings have love interests. Sophia's is Jason Menon, a fellow tenant at their apartment building.

Seth's is Michelle Tse, also a tenant in their building.


Welcome Opals!

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!"

Beckett- A lonely mother

Kaleb is 3 this round and he is his mommy's joy! Patricia really does love her son, even if she isn't sure about her husband. Patty and Kaleb spend alot of time together, unfortunately when Kaleb starts school Patty will need to go back to the bakery full time instead of only opening for half of the day.

Maybe Patty won't have to go back full time after all! Richard and Patrica are pregnant with another child. Dr.Sam Willis, Patricia's brother, has discovered the baby will be a little girl.

Like her first pregnancy, Patty can't admit to be very excited about it. She remembers how awful she felt during her pregnancy with Kaleb, and Patricia never really wanted to be a mother, especially a mother with more than one child. However, she also remembers how much she loved Kaleb at the very moment she looked into his eyes and she knows she will love this new baby just as much.

Welcome to the world Kaylee Ariah Beckett! Kaylee was born premature on a Thursday morning. Other than her premature birth, there were no other problems.

Kaleb celebrates his 4th birthday and he is very excited about his new little sister. Someone new to play with! Too bad it won't be for a couple of years kid!

Note-Ages will be messed up until round 10! I really messed up and a lot of it has to do with Kaylee Beckett and Austin McGraw. I was trying to catch the McGraws up because somehow they were 2 rounds behind every other house, so at the end of the round, and I don't know why I did it, I used the elixir on Austin to give him days back. I didn't realize until later, that he should'nt have taken the elixir...Oh well. Thought I'd explain now so readers won't be too confused in the future.
