Chapter 14: Now's The Time
Alessandro: Aw yuk! Now I know why you gave me the first cuddle! Eww... geez little man, what the heck have you been eating?
Candy: lol I know, it's pretty bad eh.
Alessndro: There you go fella, all clean. Who is a clever little man eh?
Candy: Let's hope this diaper doesn't fall straight off like your first one did!
Alex: Silly mummy, we've got this eh Max.
Candy: I love you Alex
Alessandro: Me too amore mio.
Candy: I didn't know I could feel so much love watcher.
I know, it's amazing isn't it. Candy: I feel like I just don't want to ever let Max go.
Then don't. There's nothing in the house that everyone else can't manage. You stay with Max babe... he'll be a kid before you know it so make the most of these baby days.I thought I'd find you in here. Look all this dust and stuff can't be good for bubs. Come and take a break. Honestly, I feel like I should lock you out of this room.Dee: I'll just finish....
No you won't. Leave it, come take a break. Now.Brian: How's everything Dee?
Dee: Good, great actually. Watcher's making me take a break.
Art: Really, I thought she kept directing you back to making more sculptures all the time and was only having you pose here for a minute so she could make it look like she actually cared.
I heard that. Stop breaking the forth wall Art.Brian and Dee: Lol
Brian: Fourth watcher.
Whatever. Anyway, don't you boys have something to do? *Sigh* So, seriously, how are you Dee?Dee: I'm good.
Well..you sit there for a while and take it easy. Baby's due any moment.Dee: What are you off to do?
Oh, just introduce Brian to a few more neighbors and such.Alexander: This better not be one of those dynasty "visits" Yuki... I'm feeling pretty over protective of my mum right now.
Yuki: Oh gosh no Alex... ewww, our watcher's not like that. seriously.
<mutters> Ok, well... that put paid to that plan then. Cassandra: Oh gosh *giggle* I didn't know you were so well traveled Brian. How exciting.
Brian: Oh yeah, I've been getting to see many towns and cities traveling around with our watcher.
Brian: I don't see why I need to give everyone my number watcher, it's only going to lead to a lot of unwanted txts.
Stop moaning about it... come one, next neighbor to meet. Chop Chop.Townie: Oooo I'm never going to delete this number *fangirling*
Townie: Yes, I just moved in actually, you're my fist visitor.
Brian: How lovely. Well, want to show me around your house then seeing as I'm your first house guest.
*Snicker, that was pretty smooth!*Opps... this might not be the best time to visit Liberty. Good luck Libs.. we'll er... come back later.Brain: Arghhhh...wuuuttt... ooo.
Oh my gosh...stop that Brian! Brian: Can't help it.. *smirk* I'm on fire babe.
Eww... don't 'babe' me... Yuk. Anyway we're just here to make friends.Brian: Friends?
Yep. New rule to this dynasty... married sims are off limits.Eric: Thank goodness for that watcher. I thought I was gonna have to beat some sense into your man there.
Hehehee..naaa, it's all good Eric, promise.Brian: What do I talk about watcher?
I dunno... try fitness.Brian: So fitness, amirite?
Alice: Wooo! I love fitness.
*face palm*Brian: What? It worked didn't it?
Brian: Oh gosh, I really love art too! Oh is that your art in the museum? It's great!
Alice: Thank you, I'm still trying to get used to that fact that everyone views my art really... It's quite a change from being just in the background.
Keep the chatter going Brian, there's another married sim I want you to chat to coming up.Brian: K. Still don't see why if I'm not....err.... you know... why I'm still standing here chatting.
They have daughters.Alice: That is really low even for you watcher. I'm disgusted.
*Blush* *mumble... dynasty... mumble*Brian: ....and then Alice basically kicked us out of her house even though we hadn't even made it inside.
Alex: Lol, way to go watcher!
Shut up. Anyway, I need to talk to you and NOW'S the time.Alex: K, I'm going to grab a quick shower and then we'll talk.
K, meet me in the red room.A short while later...
Alex: So, what do you want to talk about watcher?
This isn't going to be easy for you to hear Alessandro.Alex: I'm sure I'm man enough to handle it watcher.
*Frustrated sigh* It's not about being *air speech marks*
Man enough *air speech marks*
Alex: Just say what you have to say watcher.
Right. Well, this is an Immortal Dynasty Challenge and you are going to live forever while everyone around you will die apart from your first born child and their first born child and so on. K?Alex: What the flipping heck! When.... WHEN did you plan ON TELLING ME ANY OF THIS???
Well... I have tried a few times but you just never wanted to talk.Alex: No wonder when you go around TELLING PEOPLE STUFF LIKE THIS. ARGHHHHHH
Look, you need to take a deep breath and calm down.Alex: CALM DOWN? CALM DOWN? I'M GOING TO LITERALLY KILL YOU.
I know this isn't easy. But we have a big problem to sort out.Alex: Really? I HADN'T NOTICED.
Alex: Wait... everyone is going to.... I'm going to... Wait. How? No. Not without Candy.... NO!
I'm sorry, I can't change that part of this. I promise you I would if I could. I really would. Alex: But I can't without Candy. You don't understand watcher. You don't know what I am without her.
I do.Alex: No... don't get too close to me. I'm... dark inside. You don't know what I've done.
I do. I know it all. Alex: I have so many people depending on me. I can't be weak. I have to finish this thing.
Your Monte Vista issues are really only a complication Alex. We can sort this out. Together.Alex: I'm not who you think I am. Every thing that you tell me is wrong to do feels so right to me.
I know, but you still manage to be a good husband and a good father now, don't you?Alex: I've been losing sleep over Monte Vista, keeping score, planning wicked schemes to make someone burn for all of this. To finish it once and for all. I can't let go of that. I have to keep Candy and Max safe... and everyone else.
I'll help you. I want it finished too. Then we can move on and focus on completing other things that need doing.Alex: Let me think for a bit watcher.
K... umm... the fire...?Alex: I need to keep busy so I can think.
K...*waits*Alex: Ok... so one, we sort Monte Vista and Dante Costa once and for all.
Right.Alex: It's going to involve something you won't want to know about.
I already know and have some ideas.Alex: Then, we need to think about Candy and Max.
Right.Alex: I can't think about losing Candy just now. I ... I can't.
You won't lose her any time soon. You are both young and have your whole lives ahead of you together.Alex: Only that's not quite true is it watcher. *Sigh* Candy has her life ahead of her but I have an endless life time...
Then you better make the decision to make the most of every day you have then hadn't you?After some hours of planning and scheming together:
Alex: Woo! Right on... this is officially ON.
We make a good team Alessandro.Alex: You know watcher, we actually do. As long as you remember I'm the boss.
*eye roll*
