The Copernicus Immortal Dynasty: Hermes vs. Hades (Failed)

[Alexandria_]

Luna was a wonderful daughter and a dedicated student. After school, she'd go across the road to Summer Hills Spring and do her homework straight away. She loved the outdoor atmosphere.


She was very close with everyone in the house, especially her father.


Being as close as they were, Carey took her out one night so that she could catch her first fish. Though when she came home, she only mumbled something about this place having fish of stupid sizes.



Meanwhile, little Leo was grabbing the attention of the entire household. He was a gorgeous nooboo, and was never too needy.
Orion cherished his moments with his nephew. He missed his sons terribly, and he felt the need to be close to Leo. He thought of him as a son, rather then a nephew.


I suppose he loved Leo so much as he knew that they were both born to be the mortals of the family. I can't tell you how he felt, but I could see it in the way he looked at Leo. He understood just how Leo would feel growing up in a family of immortals knowing he was destined for death.

These thoughts reminded me: my little Luna would have to know the truth soon. It wasn't just playing on my mind - it was playing on everyones. 


We all knew the day would come soon when she would need to know. She would need to know they she would live forever - that she would watch as her grandma, father, uncles, lover and brother all died before her eyes.
It was a curse that made us want to become immortals, but the price we would pay was a curse in itself.
None of us could escape our fate, but at the same time, none of us wanted to.
We would live to see the day that our family, and every other innocent life, was saved from Hades.

I like Luna's face when she caught the little minnow, talk about dissappointment, "What that's barely even a fish!"

Great update! What fish?! Hehe that's a fish?  Haha congrats on her first "fish"!

Luna's adorable! I love her tights!

I had a little giggle at her face too

Man the gift of immortality is brutal sometimes! I hope little Luna takes to it alright.
She looks a lot like her father! So cute

Aries needed to take a trip to France to deliver a painting of his, so all the girls of the family travelled along with him. I promised dad to buy as many grapes as I could possibly afford.


Luna and I found it a perfect time to get even closer. We spent a lot of time playing tag and goofing off.


She also spent a lot of time fishing, of course.


While she was busy fishing, the rest of us took the the easels. Agnes, Aries and I are all masters when it comes to painting, so we were able to rake in a lot of money.


When we got home, it was time for our little nooboos birthday! Leo aged up to have his fathers hair, my eyes and his grandmothers lips.




Seeing as I taught Luna all of her toddler skills, Carey decided that it would be his job to teach his little boy all of his. After teaching him how to use the potty, he took Leo to the beach, where Luna was doing her homework. Seeing as we bought the beach out, we'd created a little nursery where Leo could play around and learn his skills.



After finishing her homework, Luna loved to spend her time fishing for all the different varieties of fish she could possibly catch. She's only 3 fish away from reaching her life-time wish - what a clever girl!


While Carey was teaching Leo his skills, someone screamed for a doctor. Just their luck - Carey was more than qualified to help in an emergency.
After poking, proding and scanning Artie Page, Carey found a solution - a kick to the shins. Although Artie did scream out in pain, he thanked Carey for his help.



Our little kids are growing so fast - I can hardly keep track of time. Our family is very close, and I feel blessed to have little Luna and little Leo in my life. I know that Luna will go on to help save this world as much as my father and I have done. She is a very special girl.

I was disappointed that I didn't get a screenshot of the kick to the shins! It was the first time I've ever had an emergency in public (I thought it must have been part of Late Night, not Ambitions, because it's never happened to me), so I really wasn't expecting it.

Next time I will be prepared!

I've had some funny things pop up since taking on the doctor career, I love all the crazy stuff they do to diagnose and cure other Sims!

Leo's a very cute little Nooboo congratulations!

*Confetti*

Happy birthday Leo!

Everyone in the house was starting to get excited - it was only a couple of days until Aries, Orion, Luna and my birthday came around. We were planning a massive party with all of our friends and relatives. It was going to be the talk of the town.

Luna was doing so well with her fishing. She already achieved her lifetime wish of having 13 different perfect species of fish in bowls. We sat them in the middle of the house, with Angel the Angelfish still living in the nursery as he had for all of Luna's life.



That night, just as I was heading to bed, Agnes pulled me over.
Agnes: Jupiter. We need to talk. I need to apologise.
Jupiter: Apologise? For what?


I was never expecting what came out of her mouth - an apology for neglecting our relationship. She explained that when I was younger, she had to focus on her sculpting and painting so that dad and I could become immortal. She was so tied down with work that she didn't have any time to spend with my brothers or I during our childhood.
She explained that the reason she spent so much time with Luna is because she missed her chance of being a real mother, and the mother that Aries, Orion and I deserved.

I never realised up until then that Agnes wasn't who I thought she was. She wasn't selfish - she was the most selfless person I could ever imagine. She wasn't she Agnes. She was my mother.
I felt so much closer to her then I ever had before.
I hugged her and said "I love you, mum".


The next morning we decided to do something as a mother and daughter. We went to our easels and she started teaching me how to paint a masterpiece.
I was so involved in my work, that I hardly noticed her voice trail off...


I turned and screamed. Aries came running to the room. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
We had just established our relationship. I was just beginning to experience what it was like to have a mother. I was fixed to the spot - I couldn't even go get dad. All I could do was cry.


Dad and Luna were especially close to my mother. As soon as they heard the news, they headed for our family graveyard. Dad was heartbroken, and Luna wasn't far from it.


They gave each other a hug before the left the cemetery, hand in hand.


We had just lost a wife, a mother, a grandmother and a friend. 100 days of her life had come crashing to an end, giving our entire family our first taste of what immortality really meant.
But we needed to do this for our family. For everyone. For my mother, Agnes 'Crumplebottom' Copernicus.

R.I.P Agnes.
