Mr and Mrs Angel had a sense of humour. When their three golden haired boys were born, they smilingly took each other's hand and declared that these babies were the nicest, most handsome, most angelic children on earth. No ordinary names would do for these cherubs. Mr Angel reached into the crib.
'This one', he said picking up the biggest of the three, 'is surely a little warrior. I will name him Michael.'
Mrs Angel picked up the second little boy. 'This one has the longest fingers - musicians hands - I will name him Gabriel.'
Both of them peered at the last little baby who lay quietly gurgling to himself. 'This one was the favourite of the nursing staff at the hospital,' said Mrs Angel. 'They used to joke that he watched as they wrote up the charts and listened to the doctors on their rounds.'
'Definitely a healer,' said Mr Angel.
'Raphael'. They both said together.
Time went by and the Angel family was a happy one. The boys grew into well-behaved sons that made their parent's hearts swell with pride.
Then, once more, Mrs Angel found herself with child. It was a bit of a shock for both she and her husband as their sons were teens and they had long since given away all their baby gear.
'Well, maybe this one will be a girl,' sighed Mrs Angel with a wan smile. 'Whatever, it will be a blessing.'
The 'blessing' was indeed a girl and Mr and Mrs Angel had once more named a child with a twinkle in their eyes. This raven haired, tiny bundle of rebellious spirit they named Lucy.
Years have passed by. Sadly, the family has been touched by tragedy. Mr and Mrs Angel have perished and the three Angel sons have gathered together after the funeral to discuss their future plans or what to do with their teen sister.
'I don't want her,' declared Michael.
'I want to be a martial arts champion. I need all my spare time to practice. Besides, she ignores everything I say.'
'I work nights with the band,' argued Gabriel. 'She can't be trusted on her own at night. Anyway, last time I saw her she ripped up my sheet music in temper.'
'Well I can't have her turning up at the hospital either' grumbled Raphael.
'You are not the only ones who have to work late or have no control over the brat.'
So, lacking any other solution, the Angel brothers have decided to all move back into the family home to care for their teenage sister, at least until they can find a boarding school that will take her. They are not too happy about it but then nor is Lucy who is quite aware of their resentment.
Okay, after all that, my story will be watching this mixed family try to survive together. I created the sims just to test out Generations but I have become fond of them. They are CAS siblings, with a bit of tweaking, and Lucy has been given different colouring. She really is hard to get along with though. I gave her the hot-tempered trait and she is a bit of a handful. I hope you will enjoy this family as they battle together and try to finally become friends.
