The Hopeful Legacy - 7/31/15

[Jase~]

Chapter Three:

First off, I thought I took a picture of the house with the additions on it, but I guess I didn't so I'll just have to tell you what I did.
I demolished the old house and made a smaller room on a foundation and then deleted the foundation so that the house looks like
it's "hovering" added a small balcony on back and a small outdoor room upstairs attached to another "hovering" room.  The small
room is the kitchen/dining room, the outdoor room is the living/hobby area, and the attached room upstairs is the bed/bathroom.



We got up extra early and started the renovations, when we were done the sun wasn't even up yet so while Petre showered and
got dressed, I caught up on subjects for class today.



And before I knew it, it was time to go off to work.  Luckily the carpool waited for me to have a quick shower and change of clothes.



While I was off at work, Petre developed his athletic skills for his own job with a handy pullup bar we could buy after selling off his car,
I really didn't want to do that, but the pullup bar will help with promotions and be better for us in the long run.  Besides we had enough
simoleons left over to get a few other items, including another space-bike for him to use.



Petre also has been wanting to learn to fish and decided to jog over to the local spring down the road from our home
and fish a bit before going to work himself.



He's getting really, really good at it too... plus it makes him happy! (lifetime happiness points, yay!  )



Meanwhile, I have another great day at work and really get to know my boss, Trent, much better and we became really
good friends, infact I would say that we're best-friends now.  I couldn't believe that I got another raise too, I hope things
will continue to go this good for us in the future.



After a long day at work, neither one of us felt like cooking and stopped off at the Big Bang Bistro for a nice dinner for two.



On the way home, we decided to stop off at the Milky Way Lounge and let off some steam by dancing for a bit.



But this time, Petre and I decided to do it in style and show off his new formal look too.  Don't we look marvelous? (LOL)



Before we knew it, it was time for the lounge to close and neither one of us was ready to go home just yet, so we stopped
off at the Bliss Pavilion and Pools for a nighttime dip in the pool.



I think Petre had a bit too much nectar at the lounge because he decided to be adventurous and skinny dip, so when he wasn't
looking I hid his clothes.



Teehee! You should have seen the look on his face when he couldn't find his pants!  I probably shouldn't have laughed so hard
at him though...



...OR let him talk me into skinny dipping outside in the other pool, especially that late in the night or should I say early in the morning,
because he decided to pay me back.



What else can I say? Karma, ugh...



We both did too good a job hiding each other's clothes as we couldn't find anything, I really shouldn't have stayed out this late on a
school night either.  I'm running late and don't have time to go home and change, hopefully my boss will understand... how embarrassing.



I'm so NOT looking forward to this today, gulp!



On his bike ride home, Petre said that he never knew how breezy it was in Lunar Lakes till that red-faced bike ride home. (LOL)



Wow, what a day at work... I spun around the fact that we would be studying the epidermis and that's why I was in a towel,
not sure if I'm just good at lying or my boss and friend felt sorry for me, but I got another raise!  *Happy Dance*



We used the bonus along with some simoleons that we had held back to add another room, this time a massive bedroom that we
hope to eventually turn into a large living area.  We turned the old bed/bath combo room into just a single use bathroom now too.



That evening after a delicious dinner cooked by Petre, we chatted in our new bedroom and Petre kept bringing up the subject of having
a baby, so I decided it was time to pop the REAL question now.



My little sim hands shook at I plopped the ring out in front of his beautiful, blue eyes... oh I hope he says yes.



He said YES!!   



That night we cuddled like it was no one's business (after I dreamed about getting a computer of course!  ).

[xFezIsAFreakx]

That is one awesome house! They are such a cute couple.

[ILoveDolls]

Very unique legacy and I like it!! Am I the only one who thinks Petre looks like Kellan Lutz? Maybe just my stalker fantasies

[Jase~]

Thanks for the additional compliements xFezIsAFreakx and ILoveDolls...
Glad you like the house, I've been having some fun with it since pretty much anything goes when I'm building
on it.   

I never thought about it, but I can see a bit of resemblance between Petre and Kellan (I think it's the strong browline).

Hope you all are ready for another update too, I'm uploading the screenies right now.

Hugs,
Jase~

Chapter Four:




Next morning it was time to go off to work again, but today was different I was a happily engaged sim this time and I couldn't wait
to tell my best friend, Trent.



While at work, I knew that Petre was going to take morning off to fulfill some opportunities he had been putting off.  They would bring in
some more simoleons we could use for the bachelor and wedding bills.



Speaking of bills... time to pay the normal ones, ugh!



Things have been going good for us though simoleon wise, after the latest set of promotions and opportunities we were able to build on
another room.  Now we have a room whose sole purpose is to be just a bathroom and the old room will be a living room with the balcony for
hobbies only.



Sadly, I only got to see Petre in a brief passing today... he was off to play a big game while I had to change clothes and go off to my bachelor party.



I decided to have the party at the Milky Way Lounge since it is the only club in Lunar Lakes and it was a total blast!



Not only did we have fun chatting, but we all danced the night way to some great songs.



We all got a bit carried away though with spraying nectar though, I think I started it...



After the toast, Trenton got in on the action and sprayed me with a bottle or two after the toast...



Before the party was over, even the exotic dance got into the game! 



I didn't home till almost morning, I was so tired that I even dreamed about sleeping.  I didn't even wake when Petre got up that
morning either.  Luckily he's understanding and already started setting up the wedding, I was still surprised that he didn't want a
bachelor party too, but oh well... let simoleons to spend. 



Right before the guests arrived I decked out the buffet table and we both changed into our formal wear, the wedding went great and
everyone seemed to love the dance floor idea we had.



Everyone said the ceremony was simple and beautiful.



After the ceremony, during the reception Petre wanted to cut the cake.



We had our own small table at the reception to dine at and just enjoy each other.



While the other guests had to drag their chairs over to the other table, things were a bit tight in the chair budget since we
were having some work done to the house again that ended up costing a bit more than we originally thought it would and would
take a few more days to get finished.



Due to the additions being built onto the home, we decided to hold off on a honeymoon vacation and stayed home instead,
which neither one of use minded doing as we knew of other ways to amuse ourselves.  Originally, we had planned on enjoying
the new house renovations, but decided it was worth the wait and extra simoleons spent to have the work done as originally
intended.



Did anyone else hear that?  It sounded like a chime? Could it be?



After going out to dinner at the Big Bang Bistro, we came back and did some very neglected house cleaning chores we've been
putting off for days now... what a honeymoon huh? LOL



The next day I kept feeling nauseous and then I had to race to the rest room one morning and then I realized another wedding
present we were just given... a baby, I'm pregnant!



Petre was thrilled with the idea of being a father and even more awesome throughout the whole ordeal and has been doing great
cleaning more around the house and helping cook too.



Before I knew it, my clothes started to get tight and I knew that it was time for maternity wear.



After a couple more days, we finally were able to finish the latest additiona to the house and it turned out just wonderful.  We now
had not only a nice area to garden, but we now had a patio to grill on, a sun deck to lounge on, and a small pool to swim in.



First thing we did was plant some seeds in our garden... we planted lettuce, grapes, apples, and tomatoes.



And the last thing we did that evening after enjoying a grilled dinner, we had a relaxing evening in our new pool.

[warr2098]

Great update! But he's... pregnant? Did you use Mastercontroller then?

[Jase~]

Thanks, Warr2098...
Yep I use a lot of Twallen's Stuff to fix all the glitches/bugs in the game, but I also use the add on to the MasterController that I think is called the Woohooer and it allows gay sims to try for babies just like straight sims.  So when I had them risky woohoo I heard the baby chimes so I knew that a baby was on the way. 

Hugz,
Jase~

[loveSims]

Congrats with the wedding! Can't wait to meet the nooboo.

[Jase~]

Thanks so much, LoveSims...
I just finished playing the game for a few hours and have a lot of pictures to share, the baby is quite a cutie.  They've been quite a busy family and I'm sure the next update(s) will be quite enjoyable for you all.  I know I enjoyed playing it, although it was quite challenging to get the simoleons still... but thanks to finding gems/rocks and selling them the Hopefuls income has improved dramatically.

Hugz,
Jase~

Chapter Five:




We decided to turn the Living Room into the baby's nursery and have a plan of building a large living room ontop of the master bedroom,
we've almost got the simoleons for it, but till then we'll have to make this room a multi-purpose room.



Oh, but in the meantime I forgot to show you the upgrades we've made to our kitchen cabinets and appliances, thanks to all the lifetime
happiness points we were able to get a collection helper and have been able to cash in items found and used the funds to really improve
our home much quicker than originally planned.



Plus, we've both been sleeping much, much better once we got rid of that cheap old bed we had and went with this new "top of the line"
model we just had delivered.



Also while, Petre works out each morning I've taken up the hobby of painting and becoming pretty good.  I've been selling the art for additional
income as well and it's also really paying off too.



One problem that I've noticed with this pregnancy is that I have a hard time sleeping throughout the night and have been waking up and watching
a lot of tv.  Late night tv is pretty boring and usually puts me right back to sleep sometimes.



Even though I'm not a huge fan, Petre has really been wanting a chess table so we finally got one with matching chairs... he's actually pretty good too.



Before we knew it, the baby was coming and off the hospital we went via taxi.
(I was too slow with the camera and missed Derrick holding his belly, sorries  )



I was surprised how calm me and Petre were about the baby, most people we ran into were very excited about the ordeal.



The birthing process went extremely quickly and well, I remember reading that the healthcare at the Anthony Cross Memorial
Hospital was one of the best in the galaxy.



Before I knew it, we were all back home and welcoming our new baby boy to his home.  Petre was starving and immediately started
cooking dinner while I showed the house to little Deter.



After dinner, Petre took the time to bond with Deter... if you wondering why he chose such an unusual name we combined both of our
names... Derrick + Petre = Deter. 



Over the next few days, we both took turns bonding and taking care of Deter and while Petre was off work I would explore Lunar Lakes
high and low and gather all I could... from rocks to gems to seeds and sell what I could for extra income.



With all the extra income we were finally able to complete the kitchen... we changed the interior walls along with adding a new exterior bar
that will seat up to four sims and I have to say we are thrilled with the kitchen finally being finished and plan on enjoying it for years to come.



We've also been able to redecorate and renovate a bit to Deter's nursery and now he has a room just for himself and all his toys.



Plus, we were able to add a luxury items for ourselves, a new hot tub.  I know your probably wondering why it's not floating like the rest of the
house, but even Lunar Lakes tech cannot create a proper hot tub without all those components hanging out the bottom so we had to hide those
unsightly tanks somehow. 



Finally, we were able to add the last story to our home.  As we have more income we'll start to furnish it, but this will be our large living room with an
area for studying and hobbies.  We plan on moving the chess set to the small raised platform area new the huge windows.



Deter is quite a hungry baby and it seems like if I'm not feeding him, Petre is, and if neither are feeding him... well, then he's asleep at the moment.



Childhood moves so quickly and before either one of us realized it, it was Deter's first birthday and he grew from a tiny baby to a toddler!



We haven't decided which one of us Deter favors more... it's obivious that he has Petre's coloring, but we think he may have my bone structure.



We were a bit nervous about becoming parents for the first time, but we think we're doing a pretty good job of it... but now we're starting to
get to the real important stage.  Time to start preparing him for what's ahead... I think we should start with potty training.

Chapter Six:




It took a few sim days, but Deter finally started sleeping through the night and we took full advantage of it and enjoyed the alone
time that we so sorely missed.



Uh oh, I hear those baby chimes again... first time in sim weeks too. 



Afterward our dreams were very different, I was thinking about how I could work off the baby weight and Petre was dreaming about
taking Deter to the park and playing ball when he grows up a bit.



Even though Deter is sleeping through the night now, he still likes to get up very early and squeal like a little piglet till we feed him breakfast.



Speaking of piglets, remind me to teach him the importance of table manners... no other sim will refer to my little baby as a piglet other than me! 



Petre is getting quite the green thumb and his garden has been growing at an amazing rate, so much in fact that we have plenty to eat and
sell to the local supermarket for profit too.



Each morning I've been taking Deter out for a quick morning stroll, he loves looking at the springs all around Lunar Lakes and loves to giggle at the
fish as they jump in and out of the water.  What an interesting place for a sim kid to grow up in?



Petre has really enjoyed the hot tub, pool, and sundeck ever since we built them.  I just wish he would wear more clothes at times, especially when
he's outside... maybe I should buy him a pair of swimming trunks instead of that itty bitty teenie weenie hearted bikini.



Petre is an excellent dad, but he's starting to slack at house cleaning again... these dishes stink!  It's okay, I don't mind cleaning the house.



Petre took on the task of potty training little Deter, surprisingly he caught on very quickly and was trained before we knew it.



*BARF*  Just as expected, I am pregnant again! I may not enjoy the process of being pregnant but the results are wonderful and I think
Deter will be an excellent big brother.



I have to admit that sleeping while pregnant is a much nicer experience in this new bed, I slept through the whole night!



We finally got around to stocking the fishtank with a couple of jelly fish, we named them Ying and Yang.



I decided to take over teaching Deter to talk and walk, so Petre could devote more time to his garden as well as train for work.



He's gotten another promotion and bonus, so things are going fantastic there for him!  I cannot wait till Deter grows up a bit so we
can go watch his father in the big game together.



Teaching Deter to walk was pretty quick, I think he was tired of being carried everywhere... he's pretty fast too!



Now teaching him to talk though, that took longer than I had thought since he was so quick learning to walk and be potty trained, but
a couple of nights later and he has been talking ever since.



I cannot believe how fast time flew and before Petre and I knew it, it was birthday time again and Deter turned into a child.
(Sorry about being so slow again, missed the age up moment with the candles and I don't know what he's doing to those balloons.)



Deter wasn't happy with his current look and gave himself a make-over and turned out quite a cutie and the older he gets more and more
I'm seeing myself in him.



For now we just moved some new items in the nursery for Deter and left he old stuff for the new baby on the way, they'll have to share a
room for now, but after we have enough to deck out the living room more we plan to expand and build another bedroom on for Deter.
