From Riches to Rags - Update 6/29/12

[Saltypaws]

I have used a few building from our swap shop.  I wish I would write down the names of people that have built them, so I could give credit to them.  The two houses I bought for the girls and the wedding chapel is from the swap shop.  I guess I don't get to play as much as I want, so I would rather play than build, so thanks to anyone's creation that I am using.

Chapter 38

Leo and I were walking on cloud nine for quite a few months after the wedding.  Things seemed to settle into a normal or somewhat normal routine after that.  Pretty soon, it was time for the boys to age up to teenagers.  Time for pranks, learning to drive and girlfriends.  Not sure if I was ready for all that, but I don't really have a choice.  The birthdays were quiet and they didn't invite any friends.  It was just the four of us.
Dylan Jr.:

And of course, he had to close his eyes.

Davis:  He really looks so much like me, poor kid.


The next morning, before chores had even started, we heard Jersey in the back.  We went to see what the matter was and it was time for him to go.  He was an old horse and dear friend, the last of my past is leaving.


Then Grim got on Jersey and they were gone.

We all just stood there mourning in our own way, Jersey had been a wonderful pet and family member.


After the boys went to school, I told Leo had something to do.  He didn't ask questions and I think he knew what I wanted to do and he knew that I had to do it alone.

I sat and thought of my life up until now.  These three headstones are my past.  Dylan had Jersey, when I met him, I had Fiona and of course, Dylan and I had each other.  Each step in life serves a purpose.  If I hadn't been raised by the Tinsdales, I would not have met Dylan.  If I had not been looking for my mother, I would not have met Leo.  So, I guess, I should be thankful for where I am today and feel blessed that I am where I am in my life.

RIP, Dylan, Fiona and Jersey:


Well, it seems like that every life that is taken, another one is made......


Yes, I am pregnant with Leo's baby, I could only hope that it is one baby.  I am not sure I have the energy for more than one.  Guess we will just have to see what happens.......

[SadieHamming]

So her youngest baby is going to be younger then her oldest grandkid... not that odd. Jersey lasted a long time it seems.

Final Chapter

There has to be an end to every story, but the lives go on.  So, from Riches to Rags and back to Riches, not only monetary, but fullness of life and being happy.  So here are the final pictures and as you can see, our lives are going to always be full......


Let me introduce you to, Hannah, Eve and Leo Jr.


And I believe there is a TV show called, Eight is Enough and how true that is.



Edit:  I will be posting pictures of the triplets.  Schipperke made Leo and we have never seen children by him.  I am just glad she had a boy, I was just not expecting triplets.  Hope you enjoyed!!

[SadieHamming]

Your story was awesome from start to finish! Sad to see it end, but seems like Tricia will have her hands full!
Added later on: Your writing is really good! I really enjoyed your story and your characters!

[11Snoopy16]

Terrific ending! The story was well-written and just enjoyable overall. Loved it! 

[ApplesApplesApples]

Oh my! Triplets! And poor Tricia wanted just one. Well, I'm sure she'll enjoy them just the same! Great ending to a great story. RIP Fiona, Dylan, and Jersey.

[loveSims]

A great end to a great story! I loved it and will miss it.

[Schipperke]

Triplets, oh my!  Well done, Tricia and Leo!  I definitely want to see screenshots of the triplets as they age up.  Who knows, maybe the latest additions to the family will have their own story some day.

Great story, Salty.  Thanks for sharing it with us.

[Saltypaws]

I haven't taken screenshots yet, but Leo Jr. has blonde hair.  Ok, where did that come from? lol   I was going to change the hair color, but I wanted to put the pictures on here.  They were having discussions about different color hair, especially when the parents didn't have a particular hair color.  Like two parents that have black hair and baby has red hair or in my case, blonde hair.

[Saltypaws]

I know I am through with the story, but I wanted to put pics up of the Dylan Jr. and Davis and also pics of the triplets as youths.

This is Davis:


Dylan Jr.


Leo Jr.:  I don't think he really looks like Leo, but that may change when he ages up.


Amy:


Hannah:



The funny thing is, Harley, the oldest daughter moved across the street and had her baby, Audrey.  She turned into a toddler, but I can't find her anywhere.  I looked in every house and even got the extra addon for story progression, so I could have tags of all the sims, but still can't find her.  Oh well,  not sure what happened, I can't really do anything about it, it was just strange.

[SadieHamming]

Thats's wierd about the missing toddler. The triplets are so cute!

[Schipperke]

The triplets are really cute.  Thanks for sharing their pictures!  Of the three of them, I think Hannah maybe looks a bit like Leo, but it's hard to tell at this age.

[loveSims]

All the kids are so cute and good looking, but Hannah have such unique features. Please keep us updated!

[Saltypaws]

Since the young adults have moved out, I don't play them, but using Twallans story progression, I can keep track of their lives.  It is quite amusing as to who these guys pick for mates and who they are fighting with.  Keeps me amused, lol.  All three families live across the street, for now, from Tricia and Leo.  Harley had another baby, random name is Scott.  So far the baby is still in the house, we will see if he vanishes like the first baby did.
