Dear Friend,

I just want to start off by saying, it's funny how things work out sometimes. I will go into more detail later.

It was Alex's birthday! It was hard to believe that he was a teenager already!





We had to go to the twins' high school graduation ceremony because apparently they went to University too soon.

"HELP! Somebody help him! Is there a doctor here?!" Someone screamed.



It took me a minute to realize that I was a doctor, you don't expect to be in an emergency situation outside of the hospital and need to help someone.

I ran over.

"Sir! Sir! Are you okay?!" I asked.

"It hurts." He groaned.

I pulled out some equipment and did some tests.




I wasn't sure what was wrong with him, but I gave him a shot for the pain.



He didn't like that part very much.

"Ah, thank you." He said.

"Your welcome, does that feel better?" I asked.

"Much." He said.

I smiled, "You may want to set up an appointment with your doctor to get that pain checked out."

"I will do that." He said.

I nodded.

"So, uh, can I get your name?" He asked.

"Sarah Moon." I smiled.

"Nice to meet you Sarah." He said holding out his hand.

I shook it, "Do I get to know your name?"

He laughed, "Oh yeah. Andrew Steele."



We talked in the rain for five hours! We had so much in common it was crazy!

We ended up heading back to the house to dry off and get to know each other a little bit more.




I couldn't help but think that he was kind of... cute.



We continued the game of pool.



He ended up winning.

"That wasn't fair! You cheated!" I laughed.

"I'm am shocked that you think I would cheat!" He gasped.

I laughed.

"So, can I have a dance?" He asked.

"You want to dance, with me?" I asked.

"You are the most beautiful women I have ever seen." He said.

"Well, if you put it that way." I blushed.

We started to slow dance to the music.

"This is fast music." I laughed.



"I like being different." He shrugged.

"That's good, because so do I." I said.

We danced a little bit more.




"So, I have a confession." He said.

"Already?" I asked.

"I know, I'm so ashamed!" He joked.

I smiled.

"Well let's hear this confession Mr. Steele." I said.

"I may or may not of faked being hurt." He said.



"Now why would you do such a thing?" I asked.

"Because, I couldn't bring myself to go up and talk to you." He said.

"And what made you so sure I was actually a doctor?" I wondered.

"I wasn't. I was just hoping." He admitted.

I laughed.

We ended the dance, ate some supper, and continued to get to know each other by the fire place.

I was scared to death to tell him about Grace. What if he didn't like children? Or didn't want children?

Don't get a head of yourself Sarah, you aren't even dating! I scolded myself.

I would just wait to tell him about my daughter, and hope that he wouldn't be scared away.

This is why life is funny sometimes, I had Grace because I gave up hope in finding a guy. Now here was Andrew and he seemed to like me. I just wished that we met earlier, we were both adults now. It seemed like time was running short and I wasn't ready for that.

Love always,

Sarah

Hmm... Could Sarah have found the love of her life? And what will he do when he finds out about Grace? Let me know! ;D

Dear Friend,

I loved him. I absolutely fell head over heals for this man.

But there was that issue of Grace. Would he love her as much as I did?

We were about to end this wonderful night, he was getting ready to head home.

"I had a good time." He said.

"Me too." I smiled.

He sensed there was something wrong.

"Sarah, is everything okay?" He asked.

"Yeah." I lied.

"What's bothering you? Was it something I did or said?" He asked grabbing my hands.



I sighed.

"I know we just met today, but you can tell me anything." He said.

It was weird, but I felt like I've known him for my whole life.

"You know how you told me your confession earlier?" I asked.

"Yeah..." He said.

"Well, I sort of have a confession too." I told him.

"Oh god you're married!" He gasped.

I laughed, "No!"

"Oh thank god." He said.

"I have a daughter." I said.

I held my breath.

"Really?!" He asked.

"Yeah, and if you want to leave you can. I didn't want to tell you in fear of you leaving me because you hate kids or didn't want any." I told him.

"Are you kidding? I love kids!" He said.

"You do?" I asked.

"Yeah! What's her name?" He asked.

"Grace. I decided to have her when my mom passed away. She didn't want me to be alone for the rest of my life, so I decided not to wait and have a child." I explained.

He just smiled and squeezed my hand.

"Can I meet her?" He asked.

"Of course." I said.

We walked down the stairs and into the nursery.

He immediately picked her up from her crib.




"She is gorgeous." He said.

I smiled, "Thank you."

He cooed at her and bounced her.

We headed back upstairs after he spent some time with Grace.

"I'm so glad that you like Grace." I said.

"Why wouldn't I?" He asked.

"I don't know." I said.

"I love both of you." He said out of no where.

I stopped, "You do?"

"Yeah, and I want to be with you for the rest of my life." He said.

I think my heart missed a few beats.

"Okay." I whispered.

"Do you want to be with me forever?" He asked.

"Uh huh." I said.

He laughed.



We said our goodbyes after making our relationship official.

A few days passed and everyone met Andrew, and he ended up moving in.

Then he brought up the possibility of buying us an additional home.

"I love this house, I don't want to move." I said.

"We won't be "moving" we will just have an extra house to escape too for privacy. This will still be our home." He told me.

"Good, because I am never leaving this house, it's perfect." I told him.

"I agree." He said.

So, we bought an additional home.





"See, peace and quiet without moving out." He said.



"It's nice, and weird at the same time." I said.

He smiled.



"I love you." He said.



"I love you too." I smiled.

Everything worked out perfectly, he loved Grace, he loved me, and that was all I could ever ask for.

Love always,

Sarah

I'm trying out this additional home feature. It's different, but I like how I can control everyone and have two homes.

Dear Friend,

There is going to be wedding bells in the near future! Who you ask? Well...




Of course I said yes! Why wouldn't I?!

As soon as Margaret found out she thew me a bachelorette party!



It took a whole minute before I was sprayed with nectar.

"LET'S PARTY!" Sophia screamed starting to dance around.

I shook my head, ever since she went to college she was more outgoing then ever.

The fact that it was my party didn't stop the fact that someone needed medical attention.



At least I knew she wasn't faking it.

"Drinks for everyone! On me!" Margaret said.

So we all had the first drink of the party.

"You have to DJ Sarah!" Sophia said.

"I don't know how!" I laughed.

"C'mon! Don't be a party pooper Sarah!" She said.

So, I was the DJ even if I had no idea what I was doing.



"SPEECH! SPEECH!" Everyone cheered.

I guess Margaret was also going to make a speech about me, but no worries, everything was good that she said.




"Spray her!" Margaret said.

"No! No! Abigail no!" I gasped.




Eh, might as well enjoy it, right?

I was going to smell horrible at the end of the night.

Oh, and did I mention that someone ordered dancers?



Yeah... It was an interesting surprise for me too.

Red cups and sweaty bodies everywhere, hands in the air like we don't care. Cause we came to have so much fun now, heard somebody here may get some now.

"Oh my god! My song!" Sophia screamed.

"This song is annoying." I groaned.

"But catchy right?!" She screamed dancing.

"Sadly yes." I whispered.

We started to dance like crazy.

"WE CAN'T STOP! AND WE WON'T STOP!" Sophia sang loudly.

To my homegirls here with the big butts, shakin it like we at a strip club, remember only god can judge us, forget the haters, cause somebody loves ya.

"Something tells me god and strip clubs shouldn't be in the same sentence." Margaret said.

We laughed.

"We run things, things don't run we? Is that even english?!" I asked.

"Shut up and dance!" Sophia screamed.

We looked like idiots dancing like crazy, but it was fun.

"IT'S MY MOUTH I CAN SAY WHAT I WANT TOO!" Sophia sang.

She was enjoying this way too much.

The song finally ended and we were trying to catch our breath, Sophia's phone rang.

I looked away for one second, just one second, and when I looked back I saw this.



"Soph?" I asked.

She looked like the was about to cry.

"Dad." She whispered.

"What about him?!" I asked getting up.

"He... He died." She sobbed.



"What?!" I screamed.

"No!" Margaret cried.



The party was cut short, we raced home as fast as we could, but it was too late...



"Sarah?"

I turned around.

"Come here." Andrew said.

I let out a sob as he pulled me into a hug.



"We were having fun! We were having fun and then dad died! He died alone!" I sobbed.

"Shh." Andrew soothed.




"I feel so guilty! We were having fun! Stefan dad died alone! No one was here for him! We were all out having fun!" Sophia cried.



"No one knew this was going to happen Soph." Stefan said.

"We did too! He was getting old!" She sobbed.

"It's not your fault Sophia. It's no ones fault." He said.

We set dad's urn by mom's and Elena's in their room, we don't know what to do about their room yet.

Elena came and said goodbye to her owners, they were all together now.



"Guys! Come downstairs!" Lucas said.

We all gathered into the living room and ended up watching a movie together sitting as close together as possible.

"I'm going to go watch Grace." Andrew said bending down to give me a kiss.

"Okay." I said.

I snuggled up in Lucas' arms as we watched this stupid cheesy movie, but that was exactly what we needed.

Love always,

Sarah

First off, 8011 views! Thank you!

RIP Jeremy Moon :'(

I freaked out, I didn't realize what was happening until Sophia started to cry and mourn Jeremy! By the time I got back to the house it was too late, I missed getting pictures. :(

How sad for Sarah.  She'll always remember her bachelorette party as the night her father died.  Jeremy had a full and interesting life.  But the upside is that Sam and Jeremy are together again.  RIP together Jeremy and Sam (and Elena).

Dear Friend,

It is a benefit to have a big family, it made the hurt and pain of losing dad more easier to handle. This family does nothing but get bigger and bigger each day it seems.

Sophia grew up to be a toddler!



Andrew is head over heels over this little girl, which makes me very very happy.

"You are officially going to be my daughter soon." He whispered to her.



I was curious to see how she would look when she got older. I didn't know who the donor was so I don't know what she inherited. I'm not saying that I don't love Grace to pieces, I don't regret having her, but I wish I would have waited to have a child with Andrew. But who knows, maybe that door isn't closed.

The day of the wedding was finally here, and I was extremely nervous. I wanted to get married believe me I do, but it was the fact that mom and dad weren't here. I knew this was the right thing though, mom wanted me to be protected, and who better to protect me then a military man?

I walked outside and headed to the alter, the family stood up as I walked down the isle. I decided that I didn't want to invite any friends or co-workers, with the tragedy of losing dad only a day passed us, I wanted just family around us on this day. Going back to what I said about mom and dad not being here, in a way they kind of were...



...Because I was wearing mom's wedding dress.

"You're beautiful." Andrew said.

"Look at that, you said it without faking sick." I joked.

He chuckled.

It was time to exchange rings and say the vows. I was amazed I got mine out because I was crying so much, even Andrews voice cracked when he said his.





"Kiss her!" Sophia shouted.

I rolled my eyes.



It was finally time to cut the cake, and just in time because I was starving!




We decided to share a private slow dance in the room we first started to get to know each other in.





That didn't stop me from stepping on his toes though...

We spent a few days as a family in the second house, but we made our way back home. I started to feel a bit queasy and sick to my stomach so I headed to bed while Andrew put his daughter down to sleep.



I was married, what a weird feeling!

Love always,

Sarah

They're married! What do you guys think? Enjoying where the story is going? Let me know what you think! ;D

Dear Friend,

"Here's your soup." Andrew said.

"Thanks." I said.

I felt spoiled, I was being fed soup in bed while I watched TV.

"Knock knock!"

Margaret and Lucas walked in the bedroom.

"Hi!" I said.

"Are you sick?" Margaret asked.

"Yeah, you probably shouldn't hang around me." I told her.

"Nonsense." She said.

The guys left to go do... guy stuff while Margaret and I laid in bed and watched TV together.

We ended up falling asleep until Margaret sat up suddenly.

"Are you okay?" I asked opening my eyes.

"I feel sick." She groaned.

"Oh no." I said.




I was afraid of that, I didn't want anyone to suffer the way I was suffering.



We ended up going to see what our husbands were up too.




It wasn't til a few more hours did we find out that this family of eight plus two dogs was going to get a little bit bigger.



Like adding two more bundles of joy to this crazy hectic family of ours.

The boys were excited.




And since I was a doctor, Margaret wanted to know the sex of the baby.



She was having a girl!

She was a little let down, she wanted a boy, but then she thought she could have one of each!

Well, that's what's happening so far. If you would excuse me, I have to go talk to Stefan, he's thinking of moving out and Sophia is freaking out.

Love always,

Sarah

What did I get myself into?! 10 sims and two dogs?! Yikes! Haha. It looks like I have my work cut out for me! Let me know what you think! :)

I love the last picture, they are both wearing the same oufits. In the last chapter when Sarah mentioned feeling sick I thought she was pregnant, It's funny how whenever a sim feels sick we assume she is pregnant isn't it. :D

Ten sims and two dogs. I'm not going to lie--it's going to be hectic! About the only way that I manage is to keep most of them on long-term tasks (like painting or watching TV) while actively playing a few at a time.

It's worth the trouble, though, when you don't want to release your favorites to story progression! :D

Haha! Yeah I noticed that too! I assume that's why they are sick too!

I sympathize. :)  I currently have 8 sims and 6 horses.  When the six kids were young, it was pretty hectic.  The premium store content playpen and walker are worth their weight in gold, let me tell you! :D  I'm kinda looking forward to just playing two of the kids soon when they go to university.  Keep up the good work!  BTW, I found something that others might find useful for doing screenshots without the thought bubbles.  With the cheats turned on, type HideHeadlineEffects On.  Use Off to bring them back.

They are part of a venue in the store.  The Tiny Prodigies Early Learning Center.

The playpen will hold up to two toddlers.  They can learn to talk, logic and charisma from it.  It also keeps all of their needs at full.  So at bedtime, I manually reduce their energy so they sleep.

The walker allows them learn to walk and they have the option to play in it. 

When you have multiple toddlers, these two items will save your sanity. :D
