Ok so the caliente family, finally
(Young Adult-vampire) Dina Caliente - mother
(Child) Edward Caliente - adopted son
Dina has finally given in to Edward's pleas to return home - and she even lets him choose a pet! He chooses a darling little dog called Momo (with traits playful, friendly and clueless). Dina decides she could use some security in the house when she's not around, so she gets the aggressive Doberman Pinscher she names Duke (with traits aggressive, genius and proud).
Both dogs quickly settle into life with the Caliente family. Edward bonds with Momo, though he is a bit afraid of Duke. Momo is a bit of a messy little dog, who takes out her destructive urges on the garden by digging holes. Fortunately for Momo, the maid always fills them up before Dina finds them. Dina actually makes an effort to bond with her dog Duke - she even stoops to giving him a bath in her private bathroom. Momo sleeps in Edward's room at night, while Duke has his own kennel in the garden.
Duke and Momo, surprisingly, get along swimmingly. In fact, they're quite close. They enjoy the pool when Dina isn't looking, and Momo is getting lots of love from Edward - she is now his BFF. Dina spends her free time relaxing in her hot tub. She's not the kind of mother who spends quality time with her son - her way of spoiling Edward is sending him to get a manicure/pedicure/soak at the local spa.
Dina is doing well at her job - she is promoted to personal assistant (director level 4), and then to Production Manager! Edward is good at his homework because of his training at his boarding school, and has risen to 3 celebrity stars!
Dina does have her good moments. In a moment that she later looks on as insanity (or too much nectar), she reads Edward to sleep. She's working hard on her job - she's chosen to take the director track, and is now a Storyboardist! She spends time improving her charisma skill. And at night she socialises with friends, with the intent of quenching her thirst. Meanwhile Duke is discovering his gentler side. Playing with Momo and his chew toy so much has earnt him the playful and non-destructive traits.
Duke's hard work guarding the house has gained him the loyal trait. Momo is winning over every member of the household - even the maid, who has to clean up after her. Edward is enjoying school - especially the field trips.
Dina catches herself watching tv... with the dogs? Little does she know that Momo and Duke have been making plans to add to the family... Edward is suffering the effects of a nasty rumour that he was arrested. He convinces his friend Mercury Steel that it's nothing more than a rumour. And Momo will always love him.
Dina, who likes walking around in her underwear (a trend that seems common in the Bay), starts teaching Duke some tricks - he's a quick learner. Edward prefers to play fetch with Momo, who is getting a little rounder in the belly. Dina continues her nighttime adventures, and treats herself with a fancy new hot tub.
It's time to meet the newest member of the family - Jojo! This adorable little puppy is stealing the hearts of his parents - he's just too cute! He even does miniature piddles!
Dina doesn't even notice the pup - a good thing in Edward's eyes. She's too caught up in her flashy new car, and the local bar scenes. She's earned her way into a job as a 2nd Unit Director (level 7). Her charisma is level 5 (vampires learn quickly!), and she's won a sims choice award!
Duke is becoming quite the loving family dog! Momo, meanwhile is feeling protective of her family, and bites Belladonna Fang when she tries to say hello. Momo now has the destructive trait, but no one minds, not even the maid. Duke has learnt to sit, and sit up. He showers love on his mate and son. Dina meanwhile is working on her fitness.
Finally, Edward grows up to a teenager. Dina throws a party, though it's mostly her own friends that come. Edward gains the Charismatic trait, and takes his mother's advice on an expensive wardrobe. At the party he even sets eyes on the girl of his dreams... (no I'm not going to tell you who she is just yet).
So, that was a long one, aye? Next will be the Malifa family - and there will finally be some horse action!
