Neil Cameron married Vamsi Tomyoy after falling in love at first sight. They adopted a son, Aiden, who was hesitant about his new family at first. Meanwhile, Clarence and Marylena Philippine had twin daughters, Nelly and Serena. Neil decided to move out and start a family with Vamsi, while Clarence continued pursuing more children and a career in business.

1. Week 5
Philippine

2. *Cues piano music* Welcome back to Silver
Bend. I forgot to take a family photo again.
Ah well, Clarence Philippine married Marylena
Hamiliton last chapter. They had a baby boy,
Asko. Neil Cameron moved in and adopted
Erin to be heir to the Cameron name.

3. “The itsy bitsy spider went up the water
sprout.” Neil sang to Asko.
“Pider? Where?” Asko asked frantically
looking around.
“It’s an imaginary spider Asko not a real
one.”
“Oh.”

4. Neil was puttering around outside when the
most beautiful woman he had ever seen
walked by. Vamsi Tomyoy was her name. It
was love at first sight.
“I’m Neil.”
“Vamsi.” She smiled sweetly.

5. Clarence came home in his wife’s helicopter.
The perk of being married to the boss. He
also came home with a promotion. Though
Marylena tried to be fair and not favor him
for promotions.

6. He was presented an excuputter as a reward
for being an excellent desk jockey. Clarence
loved it. He set it up upstairs and played
half the night.

7. Other things were going on downstairs.
Vamsi clearly returned Neil’s feeling. They
became caught up in a tornado of emotions
neither had felt in a long time.

8. “Are we silly?” Neil said pulling Vamsi close.
“Love at first sight at our age.”
“No, love is timeless.” Vamsi said in a dreamy
voice.

9. “Neil, neither of us have time to waste.” she
said getting down on her knees, “Marry me.”
“You’re right Vamsi, we don’t have time to
waste. So yes.” Neil accept, though
accepting her proposal felt a little backwards.

10. They got married right then and there.
There was no time to lose. Neil found
himself taking her last name. The Cameron
name would live on because of Erin. But
Neil was now Neil Tomyoy.

11. He and Vamsi agreed to that they want
children together. So Neil called the
adoption agency in the wee hours of the
morning.

12. Children were expensive and Clarence
needed logic points. So it was off to Star
Gazing Park.

13. Clarence played chess by himself while Neil
sold tickets.
“We need to get one of these at home.” He
said rubbing his hands together, it was cold!

14. Too cold to stay at the park long. Neil closed
it down and switched to writing articles.

15. Vamsi unbraided her hair and let it hang
loose. She did clip some of it back out of her
face.

16. She was a knowledge sim just like Neil. She
also wanted to max all her skills. But she
didn’t want to putter around the house like
Neil did, she would find a job. She took one
in the music career. Business would have
been better, but music would do.

17. She had a silver sewing badge. Sewing was
her favorite thing to do. Thanks to Neil she
would actually have a chance to take
advantage of her passion. Maybe she could
teach Erin to sew.

18. “Momma has lots of time off you she can play
with Asko!” Marylena cooed at her son.
“Momma, airplane!” Asko cheered begging
her to toss him in the air.

19. Marylena was taking out the trash when she
went into labor.

20. She gave birth to twin girls, Nelly and Serena.

21. Poor Nelly was placed on the sidewalk. Just
for a little while Marylena and Neil rearranged
the nursery.

22. They squeezed in a second crib. Serena’s
was pink and Nelly got the yellow one.

23. The twins settled, Marylena decided to try
out Vamsi’s sewing machine. She found the
plans to make pot holders. They seemed
easy enough to do.

24. That evening Asko was due to have a
birthday.

25. “Mom look at my hands!” He cheered. He
looked a lot like his dad, Marylena noted.

26. The next morning Vamsi casually looked for a
job in business. She really wasn’t too upset
when she didn’t find an opening. The music
career was fun enough.

27. “This thing is so loud!” Marylena complained,
they really needed to get a car.

28. At ten o’clock a familiar blue van drove up.

29. “Where are we?” Aiden asked in a sullen
voice.
“Your new home.” The Social Worker smiled.
“I don’t want a new home.” Aiden said
bitterly.
“Just get out of the car.” She replied sighing.

30. “They’re just going to bring me back. They all
do.” Aiden informed her.
“This time is different Aiden. They adopted
you, this isn’t a foster home.” She reassured
him.
“I don’t think so.” He said stubbornly.

31. It was hard not to feel some excitement
despite himself.
“Oh Neil look he’s here, our little boy!” Vamsi
gushed.
“My turn to hug him!” Neil said
“You really adopted me?” He asked.
“Yes son. You’re home now.” Neil said patting
him on the back, “Now off to school with you,
it’s right up the road. Your sister is already
there.”
“I have a sister?”

32. Later that evening.
“Is that my sister too?” Aiden asked
Marylena.
“No this is Nelly, I guess she’s more like your
cousin.” Marylena said.

33. Clarence brought Serena up to the cake.
“You ready Marylena.” He asked.
“On three.” She replied.
“One, two, three!” They said in unison and
helped their daughters blow out the candles.

34. Marylena caught Nelly, and Clarence caught Serena. Nelly
definitely took after her mother. She was pretty even keeled
across the board, a tad shy.
Serena was a even mix of both her parents. She was even
tempered like her sister, but a little more serious.

35. No one was sleepy so toddler training began
right away.
“Bear.” Serena said clearly.
“Her first word!” Clarence clapped happily.
“Show off” Marylena stuck her tongue out.
Nelly was refusing to make a sound.

36. Clarence relaxed as Marylena went to bed.
“Do you want another one?” He asked.
“I do, just not yet.” Marylena smiled, “I want
to spend time with Asko and the girls. It’s
hard to do that if I’m pregnant.”
“Pregnancy does take a lot out of you.”
Clarence nodded sagely.

37. Clarence couldn’t sleep so he went upstairs
to play with his putter. He really wanted ten
kids. But he could understand Marylena
wanted to spend time with the ones they
had.

38. “Dad how do you spell bird?”
“Sound it out.” Clarence suggested
“Buur-d, so b-u-r-d?” Asko struggled.
“Close. You almost got it.” Clarence smiled.
Marylena was on to something, helping Asko
with his homework made Clarence feel warm
and fuzzy inside.

39. “My birth parents came from the stars.” Aiden boasted.
“Really?” Asko asked bouncing in his chair.
“No they didn’t, you’re not green.” Erin pointed out.
“How do you know?” Aiden argued back.
“Cause girls are smarter than boys.” Erin retorted, “I bet
even Nelly and Serena are smarter than you.”
“I’m smarter than those babies!” Aiden pouted.

40. After school was Erin’s birthday.
“I wish for a kitten!” She proclaimed loudly.

41. “And a pinball machine and a computer.” She
added. She rolled knowledge, she wanted to
learn graphic designing so she could become
a game designer.

42. Clarence still wanted more children.
Marylena didn’t want to get pregnant again,
so he was going to take his turn.
“Come on aliens.” he whispered.

43. Clarence gave up around 5. Nelly was awake
so he taught her to walk.

44. Despite the late night Clarence came home
with a promotion.

45. “What were you doing up all night?”
Marylena asked playfully.
“Working on my logic skill.” Clarence said
truthfully, “I’m so close to starting my own
company.”
“So I’m going to have some competition
soon.”
“You betcha.” He grinned.

46. Erin took down her high ponytail. She fluffed
and fussed until she found a style she liked.
Throw a little make up on and she would get
many boy she wanted.

47. “I’m going to move out.” Neil told Marylena in passing.
“What?”
“I have a family now, and Asko will be old enough to help out.
You don’t need us crowding up the house.”
“You’re no bother, Neil.” Marylena said in a small voice.
“Don’t worry Marylena, we’ll stay close.” Neil smiled, “It won’t
be until the end of the week.”
“Okay, I want you to be happy.”

48. Darkness fell and Clarence was back at the
hunt for aliens.

49. Saturday came home around and it was time
to for Reno Day.

50. Neil rounded up everyone, except Marylena
and the twins, for a nature hike.

51. There wasn’t a lot to do downstairs. They
fixed up the master bathroom. More work
was done upstairs. The bedrooms were fully
furnish. Clarence and Marylena weren’t sure
they wanted from the family room. So they
didn’t do much with it after wallpaper and
flooring.

52. Erin was getting the attention she wanted.
Olaf Colours was calling twice a day to talk
to her.

53. Aiden was slowly starting to fit in. Saturday
was spent in their pajamas playing with
blocks.
“I wish I had a brother instead of a sister.” He
murmured.
“You could pretend I’m your brother.” Asko
offered, “I don’t have a brother either.”

54. Neil completed one seventh of his LTW. He
maxed his creativity skill pounding away on
the piano.

55. Age was weighing down on him. He took a
few sips of his allotted elixir to ease the
burden.

56. Aiden struggled to figure out Clarence and
Marylena. He didn’t understand why the
younger couple didn’t adopt him.
“Can I play chess with you?” he asked.
“Sure thing kiddo.”

57. Erin when she wasn’t on the phone she
worked on her charisma skill. It was the
hardest one to get so she wanted to get it
out of the way first.

58. Saturday was birthday night for the twins.

59. They picked out similar outfits, but their
parents could see the differences in their
faces.

60. “Neil I love you.” Vamsi smiled, “Our family
too, I wasn’t expecting to start a family at
our age.”
“I love you too Vamsi.” Neil replied, “I didn’t
either.”

61. Sunday Clarence invited Gabie and her
family over. Their kids were family old
enough to make friends.

62. “Dad do we have to spend all day here?”
Tiramisu asked.
“Don’t worry Tiramisu you’ll won’t even
notice the time fly.” Stephan patted his son’s
head.

63. Stephan was right. Asko and Aiden started a
huge water ballon fight. They pulled Lucas
Diem into it when they saw him walk by.

64. “Think the kids are having fun?” Marylena
asked listening to the shouts and peals of
laughter.
“Oh yeah.” Gabie grinned.

65. Six rolled around. Neil found his own place on
the computer. He couldn’t thank Clarence
and Marylena enough, but it was time to go.

66. “Bye Uncle Neil!” The girls shouted rushing in
to say goodbye.
“See ya later.” Clarence waved.
“Come on guys, I want to say goodbye.”
Marylena said routefailing.

67. Darkness fell as the taxi came. He was
looking forward to the new life Vamsi and
him would build together.

68. “Neil and Vamsi are gone.” Marylena said
quietly.
“And the kids are asleep.” Clarence chimed
in.
“What do we do now?” Marylena asked.
“We should adopt a dog.” Clarence
suggested.

71. Update number 8!
I wasn’t expecting for Neil to get
married. But him and Vamsi hit it
off so well.
I realized I made a mistake with
my SM. It should be 14 instead of
15. But I’ll have 15 player
community lots by the end of the
rotation so I’m just going to leave
it like it is.
Ani-Mei’s house is next! 
