Meet the Jones'

Over the years, there have been many rumors and tales about the Remington Estate. Some involve the mysterious deaths of residents. Others say the estate is haunted by ghosts. But many believe the mysterious deaths caused these ghosts to come to life every evening after dark. Only two people know for sure; Aiden and Hannah Jones.

Hannah: Hey! Great to see you... What's your name again?

Watcher. Just call me watcher.

Hannah: That's a strange name. I mean, I would never call one of my five future children Watcher. Maybe William. Or Henry. Maybe Darrell, I like that name -

Will you stop fantasying about kids for now?

Hannah: I will be able to have some though, right?

Your in a DecaDynasty, the whole point is that you have at least one child to carry on the story.

*In walks Aiden*

Aiden: Were you talking to someone, dear?

Hannah: Just our watcher.

Aiden: Who?!

Me!

Aiden: Ahgg! The sky is talking!

Yes, I am. Now, to be the stars of my story, you need to have a little makeover, both of you.

*Groans*

Off you go, to the mirror. You've got about one hundred upstairs, I can see them.

Hannah: Ooh! I look so much better now!

That was kind of the whole point of this makeover.

Everyday

Formal

Sleepwear

Athletic

Hannah: You do realise you've wasted your time making me that sports kit.

It's a requirement, I can't not make you one.

Swimwear

Hannah: I was hoping for a bikini, but at least it's not a wet suit.

Outerwear

I think she looks a lot better now she's not got that ghastly make-up and a hairstyle that suits her.

Hannah: Are you calling my make-up ugly?

Maybe...

Aiden: Did you happen to know that men don't tend to like makeovers?

Yes, and you're still getting one, whether you like it or not.

I must say, you're a good hairdresser.

*Watcher blushes*

Everyday

Formal

Aiden: Hey, that's exactly the same as before.

Correction; I changed the bow tie. It's now navy blue instead of black.

Aiden: Humph

Sleepwear

Athletic

Aiden: *Mutters under breathe* Not gonna see that for a while.

Swimwear

Outerwear

Now let's jump right in! Aiden, You're no use being a scientist, become a Chess (And logic) Master. I also want you tutoring the heir.

Aiden: The Heir?! But that means Kids!

Since when do you dislike children?

Aiden: I just like my life without being a dynasty star and being young and free!

Well, say goodbye to that life and quit your science job.

Aiden:

Goodbye old life!

Aiden: Hi, I want to quit. Well, my stupid watcher wants me to quit.

I'm not sure whether I want to talk to you anymore!

Boss: OK, I never even truly liked you.

Well done, Mr Boss! He deserved that.

Boss: Later loser!

Exactly what I was thinking! Hannah, I want you to quit journalism to become a full-time author and mother.

Hannah: You don't need to tell me twice!

Hannah: Can we try for a baby yet?

Why not?

Hannah: Did you have to get a picture of that to post on the World Wide Web?

How do you know about that? Hey, there's the lullaby! It worked!

Aiden: (Sarcastically) Yipee.

Hannah: I'm now a full-time author! Ooh, a protest!

Against jellyfish?

Protesters: NO MORE JELLYFISH! NO MORE JELLYFISH!

Why am I here again?

SPOILER ALERT! View the Jones' family tree and see how far I've got! If you've read the whole story already, don't worry, I will only update this as I play and I post as soon as I think I have covered enough ground!

Thanks! When I saw the protest, it did make me wonder... I'm glad I weaved it into the story; it was one of those things that I just had to share!

I can hardly wait to see where this is going! I've never played with the Jones so it will be interesting. Especially with all of those ghosts!

Neither have I! Well, I played with them for one sim day awhile ago, but I'm really enjoying them so far! The ghosts will come into chapter 2 and will most likely make many appearances throughout Generation Ones youth. I really like them, though. I've never played with ghosts either!

Book, Burglars and Ghosts

Let's start on a calmer, quieter note. Aiden can't play chess

Aiden: Yes I can, Lucille Spenster's just a teensy, weensy bit better.

Just accept it, you failed miserably. In other quiet news, Hannah started a beautiful novel, The Friendliest Hettie.

Hannah: Were you even paying attention earlier? It's a tragic it story called The Loneliest Yeti.

Woohoo. Can't wait for the movie. *Rolls eyes impatiently*

Hannah: Oh yeah, I don't feel great...

Hannah: The ghosts have cursed me with vomit!

No, that's just a sign that your pregnant. But if you really want to be cursed with-

Hannah: No thank you.

Upstairs, Aiden is having no luck with his potion making.

Aiden: I look hot today.

Yes, the soot really goes with your hair. You look like you're on fire.

Aiden: I'm singed, what do you expect?

Anyway, Hannah has a new favourite food. For some odd reason, she seems to like watermelons.

Hannah: Rumor has it that eating five watermelons during pregnancy guarantees the birth of a girl.

I hate to break it to you, but that's just a superstition.

Hannah: Just wait two days and I'll show that I happen to be right.

At half two on Tuesday morning, we had an unexpected visitor.

Burglar: I need a sink. Let's walk all the way upstairs, into the master bedroom and then steal one!

Luckily, the police caught her, but failed to return the stolen goods.

Before Little Miss I Need A New Sink was arrested, she had a look around. And through.

Burglar: Dude, your transparent. And orange. Any burning. Why are you transparent, orange and burning?

Cody Remington: I'm a fire ghost. You kind of just described my characteristics.

Burglar: Can I steal you?

Cody: No.

Burglar: Shame.

Hannah: Did you know that this house has been in my family for several generations?

Policewoman: It's four o'clock in the morning. I don't really care. I want to imprison that girl for theft. Do you want her to escape?

Hannah: Well bye then. I'll call you another day, I need you for the NPC requirement!

Hannah: Cody, do you count for the NPC requirement?

Cody: I'm afraid not, Hannah. Unfortunately, I'm unemployed.

Hannah: that's a shame.

Anyway, Aiden and Hannah shared a last baby free kiss before the birth the next morning.

Get a room!

Hannah: Technically, this is my kitchen.

Technically, I own the game, so I own Riverview, so I own this room. Anyway, Hannah enjoyed the kiss.

Hannah: Oo lala!

Wednesday morning:

Hannah: THE BABY'S COMING!

In the bathroom.

Baby Bash

Hannah: I'm in LABOUR! Pay attention to me!

That's Aiden's job right now.

Hannah: Well he decided to go upstairs and watch TV in the guest suite.

Now that that drama's over, we can welcome to the world baby Luna.

*Aiden runs down stairs to investigate why the screaming's stopped*

Hannah: Isn't our little girl Luna adorable?

Aiden: Luna?!

Hannah: Luna is Latin for moon and is also the name J.K Rowling used for the ditsy Ravenclaw girl in her last three Harry Potter books.

Aiden: But I wanted a smart daughter.

Hannah: Both Luna's are smart!

Enough discussing Luna's name. No one really cares how smart Luna really is. Luna is Clumsy and Artistic.

Luna's little nursery, with the furnishings draped in her favourite colour, lilac.

Aiden: It looks nicer than my room!

Be grateful, you've got a top-notch bed. It will be handy for those nights when Luna's crying.

Aiden: Loony will cry all night?

Yes. Sorry for the disappointment. Anyway, they need some more cash so I sent Aiden off to join the medical career.

Aiden: At least it corresponds with my excellent logic and desire to be a chess champion!

Luna was a very loved child, at first by her mother;

And then by her father;

Even the ghosts payed her visits!

It's our old friend Cody!

Meanwhile, Aiden's still having little luck with his potions.

Aiden: I'm doing fine in that picture!

The potion blew up seconds after that.

Aiden: Still!

Before long, it was Luna's toddler birthday.

Unfortunately, her party (At half 8 in the morning) was rudely interrupted by Jasper Remington.

Jasper: I wish I could still have birthdays at the cake.

Luna: Sparkles!

Hannah: Hey, you can't talk yet.

Luna: ...

Luna aged into such a cute little toddler.

Everyday wear:

Aiden: Where did she get that hair from? She should have my ginger hair!

Hannah: Or my light brown

We can only guess that one of the ghosts had brown hair when they were alive. In fact, according to Sims Wiki, Cody has the same colour hair as Luna!

Formal

Sleepwear

And one final picture of Luna with her Imaginary Friend doll whilst she's in her outerwear.

Next time: Cute Toddler Montage!

Looks like you're off to a good start! I think Hannah looks much better after her makeover, and Luna is very cute.

I agree. Hannah's original make-up did her no justice and her hair and dress weren't great on her either. I also love Luna. She makes me laugh so much!

Thanks! I'm glad I've managed to put humour in it as I often struggle.

Lovely Luna

Our story starts today with a toilet break.

Hannah: She's only a baby, we need to train her bladder.

Too much information, thank you very much.

We then follow with an attempt to repair a laptop, while Luna plays in her room.

Hannah: If I undo that screw and tighten that one...

Hannah: Wait, is that a scratch there? Oh no! I can't have a scratch on my laptop!

Hannah: Ok, I think the mousepad will work now!

Luckily, Hannah miraculously managed to fix the laptop.

Hannah: Yipee!

Luna: Why do I need to learn any more words?

Because otherwise you can't live a good life.

Luna: But I can already say veg-tab-les. Vegetables.

So you like vegetables. That's odd for a toddler.

Hannah: A vegetarian child! Yay!

Did I mention Hannah happens to be a vegetarian?

Daddy helps Luna with her painting skill.

Aiden: And if you mix red with yellow, you get orange!

Luna: Luna want lilac.

Aiden: Um...

You mix red, blue and white. Why teach a two year old colour theory if you can't do it?

Aiden: Because Hannah is writing a story.

Luna: I need potty.

Aiden: What?

Luna: I want food. Now.

Aiden: Well, it would be unhygienic to feed you whilst you are doing your business.

Luna: Why?

Aiden: Long story.

Luna did get her food in the end.

Luna: Lets taste it first to make sure it is yummy.

Luna: I don't like it!

Just eat it.

Luna: Mean watcher.

Aiden: Come to daddy. Come on!

Luna: This is impossible! Luna fall over!

Luna: Daddy, Luna nearly done it!

Luna: Daddy, I did it!

Aiden: What a big girl you are!

Luna: I so big and strong!

Luna: Nice book give Luna nice thoughts!

Just so you know, the thought bubble has a picture of Luna in it.

Luna: I wonder if daddy is thinking about Luna.

Luna: Daddy not thinking about Luna!

That's a shame. Luna did fall asleep eventually, though.

5AM, Monday morning.

What are you doing?

Hannah: I want another baby to take care of. Is that alright?

Yes, although you should note something about Luna.

Hannah: And what's that?

Luna: MUMMY!!! Luna want FOOD!!!

Work and Play

Let's start with some excellent news.

Yes, that's right! The Jones' bought a blender! Oh yeah, party time!

Hannah: *Sarcastically* Woohoo, best thing that's ever happened to me.

Aiden: Oh yeah! A blender, a blender! Happy dance!

Aiden, you're officially my favourite. Next, Hannah has some fun playing with Luna!

Luna: Mummy, put Luna down! Luna too high in the sky!

Luna: Can't look at claw! Too scary!

Get a grip. Anyway, Luna can be such a smiley sweetheart sometimes...

Luna: Luna like highchair!

Luna: BUT LUNA WANT FOOD!

What is it with that girl and food? It's like I'm not feeding her. Just so we're clear, she's fed up to three times a day! If anything, I'm over feeding her.

Hannah: Yay, nooboo!

I doubt your fridge will survive a second child.

Aiden: My hand feels a bit sore.

That's because you've got your hand stuck right through a bowl of blended grilled cheese sandwich. But nothing a quick moveobjects on won't fix. [Authors note: I didn't move anything but the bowl with moveobjects. The actual sim stayed exactly where he was.]

Because her mother spent her time writing (A new bestseller has just been released, C3PDO) and her father worked most of the time at the hospital (Level 4, new LTW is World Renowned Surgeon), Luna reads her art books a lot on her own.

Luna: Red and yellow make orange, blue and yellow make green...

Also known as vomit.

Luna: No it's not.

Is now.

Hannah: Guess what?

Aiden: What?

Hannah: Ok, I'm pregnant again!

Aiden: That's great news! I thought you were just getting a bit tubby around the waist.

Hannah: It's called a baby bump.

Aiden: Ok, I also have some news.

Hannah: I hope you're not pregnant as well.

Aiden: No. I'm now a Medical Intern!

Hannah: Yay, more money for us!

At two in the morning, Hannah went into labour in her sleep.

Hannah: Ahh! It's time! Can't it wait until morning?

The baby will come when the baby wants to come. It's the circle of life.

Aiden: Look at her! She's in pain and I'm not! That makes me so happy!

Only you would be happy when your wifes giving birth, Aiden.

Hannah: Sparkles!

Welcome to the world, baby Ginny. Yes, I've settled on Harry Potter names.

Aiden: Aww, she's adorable.

An overview of Ginny's room. Her favourite colour is spice brown, but I thought pink would be better for a baby's room, with a bit of brown wood and the like.

Hannah: More madness.

Yay! A blender! Now Luna can eat better food!

Puppy Dogs and Eyes

We start with a new friend.

Just so we're clear, Constance Shelley is not our new friend.

Aiden: Can we have a puppy? My watcher says I should have one to entertain the kids!

Constance: Sure, they're free to a good home!

Aiden: Would a mad house with two hungry, crying, screaming, but both equally adorable, little girls?

Constance: You know it was an expression, right?

Aiden: ...

Aiden did get the puppy, though.

Meet our skittish new puppy, Eika.

Back at home, Luna got some rocks to play with as she grows up.

Left to right - Steve, Bob and Bill. I chose the names!

Hannah: Rocks. Our baby girl got rocks to play with. Why didn't you buy better toys?

I thought it would be funny. Eika is such a cute little puppy.

Look at that face!

Don't look at that face!

Hannah: Hey! I love my little Ginny-Winny! Who's a good Ginny-Winny?

Ginny: Ga ga! *Gurgle*

Eika: Woof, woof! I'm slipping away!

Wait, you're a dog. Dogs don't talk, last time I checked.

Eika: ... Woof.

Hannah: Come on, Puppy. Put your back into it!

She's just a baby and by the looks of things, Eika happens to be winning.

Hannah: No she's not...

Aiden got promoted to a Resident at work.

Aiden: Yes! Now I only have to work 9 hours a day. Plus the night shift. But they all love me! They're all thinking about me.

Even a cat's thinking about you! Aiden, you're popular!

Aiden: Oh. My. Gosh. I'm popular!

Enjoy it while you can.

TIME: 5am, Luna's child birthday

Luna: Playing blocks makes Luna hungry.

Just a few more hours and you'll be able to eat whenever you want. No more screaming for food from Luna Jones. Ahh...

Mummy helps Luna to the cake. She looks delighted about Luna's birthday.

Luna: Can we get to the cake?

No.

Hannah: No more getting up in the night!

You do realise that you've got another child as well, don't you?

Hannah: ...
