A long awaited update!

1. Chapter 11

2. “Sh….” Phil whispered to his children. It was strange to
think of himself as a father. Father, step-father, so
different for his single bedroom apartment.

3. Hex was less than pleased with this new home. Why
couldn’t they have stayed on Laguna Isle?

4. Charrie cradled her baby, triplets again, what a surprise?
Luckily the older kids didn’t seem upset with her getting
married.

5. She looked for a job in the paper. She found an opening
in the medical career. Now she just had to rebuild her
skill set.

6. The cats were still the main breadwinners in the family.
All of them worked hard, often falling asleep on the
pavement outside.

7. Blastoise brought home his half brother Olaf home from
school.
“That Emma Diem is H-O-T.” Olaf grinned.
“I know, but she’s Pony’s daughter, are you sure you
want to play with fire?” Wartortle asked.
“Puhlease, bro, we’re sons of a simself. Pony won’t do
anything.”

8. That night was the triplets birthdays.

9. Metapod, Caterpie, and Butterfree all
grew up as the sun set.
Metapod was an active child, very
playful, if a little mean.
Caterpie, in his Hawaiian shirt, was a
neatnik, but as active and playful as his
sister.
Butterfree was less wiggly than his
siblings, but a bit sweeter if a bit more
serious.

10. Potty-training started right away. Squirtle was more than
happy to help out her mom.
“Good job Metapod. If you go potty, I’ll give you a
sticker.”
“’Icker!”

11. “Go in!” Metapod fussed, the stupid block wouldn’t go in
the hole.

12. Butterfree was having better luck at the drawing table.
So many colors of crayons it was hard to choose which to
use first.

13. Charrie sat Caterpie down in the nursery.
“Say Momma, Caterpie.”
“Pi!!!”

14. The next morning Charrie rode to her first day of work
with the cats.

15. Cleve was also checking the papers for a job listing. The
cats shouldn’t be the only ones bringing home the
bacon.

16. Charrie returned home with a promotion. It felt good to
be working at least.

17. Anna and Phil both pitched in teaching the toddlers.
Anna was so happy to have little ones around again. If
was almost tempting to have some more of her own.

18. Cleve decided it was time to visit the restaurant. He
dragged the teens along for good measure.

19. He poured himself a drink, the business was doing well.
But he couldn’t until it was finished.

20. Blastoise decided to invite Emma home from school with
him. Olaf was right she was hot!

21. He scored his first kiss with her.

22. “Toise is kissing Emma outside.” Squirtle said with a sly
grin. “I guess he decided girls weren’t so bad after all.”
“Squirtle!” Anna gasped, then she laughed. “I guess
not.”

23. After his date with Emma, Blastoise wasn’t tired at all.
Hex needed to learn to roll over for a promotion so
Blastoise spent some time with him.

24. Charrie came home with another promotion.

25. She needed to work on her mechanical skills before she
could get promoted again.

26. Anna looked for a job in the gamer career with no luck.
Maybe tomorrow.

27. Charrie’s late night studying paid off. She brought
home another promotion that afternoon.

28. Dalen also brought home a promotion.

29. Blastoise wasn’t the only one making new friends.
Wartortle invited Alice Clitheroe home from school.

30. “Hey Alice, do you want to go on a date with me?” He
asked.
“Yes!” She smiled.

31. Things weren’t going so well for the cats. Hex attacked
his son Leo.

32. Hex of course won. Against his innocent son…

33. “Look Squirtle, the witches are back!” Blastoise shouted.
“Where???”
“Heh heh.” Blastoise laughed quickly switching his
pieces.

34. “Sing it, Metapod. The isty bitsy spider.” Anna said trying
to coax her granddaughter into singing.
“Went up the ‘ater pout!” Metapod laughed.

35. Charrie was having better success with Butterfree.
“Down came the rain and washed the ‘pider out!” He
laughed, “Again, again!”

36. “So we finally get some alone time.” Cleve teased.
“Yes, Charrie and Phil are putting the kids to bed, so it’s
just us tonight.” Anna smiled.

37. The toddlers were asleep, the night was quiet as Charrie
and the older kids skilled.

38. Anna ate some leftover pork chops for breakfast. Cleve
mentioned last night he had a surprise for her. She
wondered what it could be.

39. They dressed warmly and headed out in the snow.
“What is this place?” Anna asked.
“It’s the park.” Cleve said, “Your park. I bought you a
community lot.”

40. “Cleve, this is wonderful!” Anna said pouncing on him.
“You’re welcome.” He grinned smugly.

41. It was too cold to stay at the park long. Cleve
decided to head home and practice his cooking
skills.

42. “This is really good Cleve.” Phil remarked.
“Yeah tried some new herbs this time.” He replied.

43. Charrie came home with a promotion. She breathed a
contented sigh. It was good to be climbing the ladder at
the hospital.

44. “5-5-2-1” Anna mouthed as she dialed the numbers. Her
grandchildrens’ birthdays were that night. It sounded like
a good excuse for a party.

45. It didn’t take long for the rest of the family to hike
through the snow.

46. Candles were lit and toddlers were wrangled.

47. “Look at all this cake!”
Metapod laughed excitedly.
“Don’t hog it all.” Caterpie
complained.

48. “Finally we can go to school.” Butterfree cheered.

49. “Man, chess is hard.” Charrie complained, “I wish I didn’t
need a logic point for work.”

50. “Dad can you help me with this?”
“Sure thing kiddo.”

51. That night, Squirtle decided to make dinner. It was an
instant hit with the family and friends.

52. The cats were working harder than ever. Both Bethany
and Leo came home with promotions.

53. Saturday had arrived. The family could finally make
renovations to the house. The nursery and downstairs
bedroom got a facelift. As well as the kitchen.

54. After, they all headed up to Fire It Up.
“Um, Brandi, you okay?”
“Oh yeah, Mia was just a little heavy with the make up
today.”

55. “Thai you really need to try the pork chops. Dad makes
the most amazing pork chops.”
“Alright Charrie, I’ll try some.”

56. “So was it worth moving here?” Cleve asked Anna.
“A chance to spend more time with our family? Worth
every second.”
“I think so too.” Cleve agreed, “Especially every moment
spent with you.”

57. The Diem kids all came over for a visit Sunday.

58. “Hey there Emma.” Blastoise grinned.
“Long time no see, ‘Toise.”

59. Squirtle preferred to hang out with Julie.
“Are you excited about college?” Julie asked, “I have to
wait until next week to go.”
“I’m so excited to go back. College is so much fun!”

60. “Oh no no no no!” Squirtle was trying her hand at
cooking. The grease dripped onto the burner and the
whole thing erupted into flames.

61. That evening, the taxis came to take Squirtle, Blastoise
and Wartortle to college.

65. Thanks for reading. I actually had this chapter
for awhile. It feels good to finish it. I promised
Silver Bend and this legacy weren’t on hiatus.
Now I just have to figure how to balance the
challenges.
The older triplets are headed to college finally!
And the Guevara family is up next.
HAPPY SIMMING!
