Stanley Carson celebrated his birthday and received good grades in school. Kaylynn and Joe announced she was pregnant with their second child. Stanley was excited to have a sibling. Quinn Carson was born, though Kaylynn had to deliver him alone. Stanley helped care for the new baby as Joe struggled to make the bakery business successful to support the growing family.

1. Opal Beach - Carson – Week 3
Hi and welcome back to my Build a City Challenge AND my legacy! We're
officially back to the Carson's this week, but we will be returning to the Kings
and a new family in the next updates. Thanks for reading and enjoy!

2. If you can recall from our last update, Stanley Carson was born and was just about to
celebrate his birthday into a child. Stanley is Kaylynn and Joe Carson's first child, and
they're hoping to have more.
Kaylynn: Make a wish, Stan!
Stanley: I whiwsh for a bwig boy bwody and a new fwend.
Kaylynn: Aww, now blow out your candles!
Stanley blew out his candles and Kaylynn set him on the floor to spin.

3. Stanley: Wow, will you look at me? I've grown!
Kaylynn: YEAH, YOU STANLEY!
Stanley turned out very cute, and had a good combination of his mother and
father's features. The ladies would be swooning over him one day, but for now, he
was happy to just run free and be a kid.
Kaylynn loved her son, and was excited to see him grow, but a thought started to
linger in the back of her mind: Were they ready for another child?

4. Joe: Hey Christy!
Christy: ….
Joe: That's nice. How's the husband? Thanks again for inviting Kaylynn and me to your
wedding!
Christy: ….
Joe: Oh really? That's great news! I'm so glad to hear that things are working out for you
and Gordon.
Christy: ….
Joe: Sweet – hey, do you want to come into work tomorrow?
It was always great having good friends as employees...at least, that's what Joe thought
as he called one of his best friends and his sole employee at Kay Bakery. She had
recently gotten married to a man named Gordon King, and if what she had told Joe was
true, they were expecting their first child together.

5. The next morning, Stan went to school with a very large and excited smile on his face.
Unfortunately, he wouldn't have much chance in finding friends at this school – hardly anyone sent
their kids to Opal Beach to learn. Most preferred the safer schools located in the suburbs of Sim
City.
Stanley: Hello, everyone!
Only silence responded to Stan's cheerful greeting. Stanley quickly found a seat, any seat really,
and went off to school basked in the sad absence of sound. He wished he at least had a sibling to
share this long bus ride with...

6. When Stanley returned home from school, he found that his grades were suffering already.
Stanley: Ah man, I have a C. What will mom and dad think? I'm not even good at school!
Stanley tucked his report card into his pocket and headed into the house to tell his parents the
bad news.

7. Kaylynn: How was school, sweetheart? Did you make any friends?
Stanley: Friends? No – there's no friends to make. Barely anyone goes to my school.
Kaylynn: Really? That's too bad. I'm sure it's just because of the economy, sweetie. I'm bet once
jobs open up around here, then more people will move in and there will be more boys and girls for
you and your siblings to play with. Now, tell me about your classes. Did you enjoy learning new
things?
Stanley: Actually, mom...I didn't do so well today.
Kaylynn: What do you mean, Stan?
Stanley: I got a C... I'm sorry, mom, I'll go clean my room now or something to make up for it.
To Stanley's surprise, Kaylynn started to laugh. Before he could ask her why, Kaylynn pulled him
into a hug and said,
Kaylynn: Honey, it's normal to do badly in school on your first day there. I didn't expect you to be
perfect. In fact, I think your grades will go up faster than you think. Everyone needs a little
adjustment time. Now, go do your homework and your father will make us some dinner.

8. Once dinner had rolled around and the family had settled in, Kaylynn decided that
she needed to bring up something very important to her family. Something that had
been bothering her ever since Stanley's birthday.
Kaylynn: Joe, Stanley, I have an idea I would like to propose to you.
Stanley: What's that, Mom?
Joe: An idea, dear? Well spit it out, I'm sure it's as wonderful as you are.
Kaylynn: Well...what would you guys think of adding another addition to our family?
A little brother or sister, perhaps?
Joe: Why, that's a wonderful idea!
Stanley: Yeah, I agree. I'd love a little brother to boss around...

9. Kaylynn: Really? You both want another family member that bad?
Stanley: Yes! It's so lonely here, it'd be great to have another kid to play with.
Kaylynn: Okay....now here's another idea. What would you do if I told you I was
pregnant?
Joe: Why – I'd pick you up, twirl you around, and tell you how good of news that was
and how much I love you.
Kaylynn: Okay...well... I'm pregnant.
So Joe did just what he promised as Stanley looked awkwardly away and tried to
finish his salmon and mashed potatoes.

10. While the day was still young, Joe went outside to tend to his tomato plants. They
were just about ready to be harvested, but Joe figured he would give them another
day to really shine. He wasn't very good at this gardening thing yet, but he figured
with more practice he would become better. Maybe he could sell produce in his
store as well as cakes. Did tomatoes count as a bakery item?

11. Meanwhile, Kaylynn settled in for a bowl of chicken noodle soup. It seemed sparkly for
some reason, and she wondered if that was because Joe had maxed his cooking
enthusism. At least, she figured, he always seemed to glow when he cooked dinner for
the family.
As to why Kaylynn was eating so soon after dinner, well – she was eating for two, of
course! This baby was draining her needs much quicker than Stanley had, which meant
Kaylynn often had to make an extra stop to the kitchen after dinner.

12. That night, Stanley sat alone in the living room and watched tv. He was excited to hear
about a new brother or sister, it meant the nights after finishing his homework would not
be as lonely. Soon, he would have a friend to play with. His only hope was that he
would not grow too old before the baby did more than dirty its diapers.

13. As the days went by, Kaylynn's pregnancy steadily progressed. As excited as she was at the
prospect of a new baby, she wasn't sure how well they could afford it without regular jobs.
Oftentimes, she would find herself spending long hours at the store in order to squeeze in as
much cash as humanly possible before the labor was too much for her swollen feet to
handle.

14. Stanley also seemed to be working harder because of the news. One day, after
school, he came barreling into the house, report card in hand and shouted the good
news.
Stanley: MOM! DAD! I got an A+! I GOT AN A+! Me, Stanley Carson, an A+!
Kaylynn: That's great, dear! I knew you could do it.
Stanley: A+! A+! A+! A+!!!

15. Joe and Kaylynn also found plenty of time to indulge in one of their favorite activities...
making out. Since Kaylynn had gotten pregnant again, Joe couldn't resist her. There
would be many times that she would be doing some seemingly innocent activity when
he would hunt her down, sweep her in his arms, and kiss her like there was no
tomorrow.

16. Sometimes, she would be the one to kiss him...

17. Of course, they would never neglect their duties of being good parents to the child they
already had... They loved their son, they loved him so much that if anything were to
happen to him they weren't sure if they would be able to cope. Every night, Joe went
into a sleeping Stanley's bedroom to tuck him in and whisper encouragements into his
ear.
Joe: I'm so proud of you, Stanley. You're meant for great things, Stanley. I love you,
Stanley.
Joe would never know it, but Stanley was always awake during these interactions. It
was the very best way to end a long day of school and hard work.

18. When he wasn't working on homework or
skills, Stanley would spend time down by the
lake that the Carson's recently put into their
backyard.
Stanley loved to fish,
but he wasn't very good
at it yet.

19. Mostly he would catch boots, which was odd
– how were these boots getting into this lake
anyway? Who would have put them there?
When Stanley asked his parents, they said
something about the previous town's trash, but
it didn't make much sense to the boy.
Occasionally, a fish
would pop into his
pond. Stanley mounted
the first of each he
caught, and sold the
rest to the next town
over.

20. One night, as the entire family was sleeping, a burglar crept across their front lawn.

21. John: Oh, this is perfect! These stupid fools don't even own a security alarm. I
can take anything I want without them being none the wiser until morning.
The burglar was ironically named John Goldman. Maybe he wanted to be a man
of gold but didn't care much for hardwork? Either way, he made his way into the
house to steal as much as his heart desired.

22. It was only luck that Kaylynn spotted him stealing their couch on her way for her two
am snack. The burglar bolted as soon as he realized as he was caught, and was
gone before the police Kaylynn had called had arrived. It was too bad... she liked
that couch.

23. Unable to sleep after the shocking turn of events, Kaylynn decided to get dressed so
she could head into the business for the day. When she entered the bathroom to brush
her teeth and fix her hair, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
Kaylynn: What the...?
Another bout of pain hit her like a wave of bricks and she doubled over, screaming.
Kaylynn: JOE!!!

24. Unfortunately, Joe was still asleep and Kaylynn found herself birthing their second child
alone. She wondered why she ever agreed to be a mother...the pain was just too much for
her to handle. If Joe had bothered to show up for the birth, it would probably be easier, but
since she was alone, she was forced to deal with each contraction herself.
Kaylynn: JOESPH CARSON I'M GOING TO KILL YOU WHEN YOU WAKE UP.

25. In the end, the pain and suffering that Kaylynn had to endure was worth it, because, once
again, she found herself holding a handsome baby boy in her arms.
Kaylynn: Now...what should I call you?
The baby did not respond. Kaylynn decided that she had the complete right to name her
child whatever she wanted. If Joe had wanted to help, then he should have been there for
his second son's birth. Still, Kaylynn recalled him mentioning a name he liked a few weeks
ago. Maybe it would fit her new son.
Kaylynn: How about Quinn? You look like a Quinn Carson to me.
The baby smiled, causing Kaylynn to grin back from ear to ear. Quinn Carson had been
born.

26. When Joe had finally woken up, he crept into the nursery only to find his son already
lying in his crib. Kaylynn had left him a note before she had gone to sleep just so he
would understand what had happened. It read:
Joe, I hand-delivered your baby last night. He's lying in the nursery... His name is
Quinn and he's precious. I also fed him, I'm sure his diaper will be sufficantly dirtied by
the time you wake up in the morning. Go meet your new son...and change that diaper!
Since he was so obedient to his wife orders, and since he felt bad that Kaylynn went
through yet another labor alone, Joe now found himself in the boyish room. He went
over to the crib and picked up his son for the first time.
Joe: Hello, little Quinn Carson.

27. Kaylynn was right, Quinn had left a present in
his diaper sometime during the night. Joe
quickly changed it with a wrinkle in his nose,
boy that kid was smelly!
Afterwords, he went into
the kitchen and gave his
son his morning bottle. He
didn't want him starving to
death!

28. Since the new baby had arrived, Stanley found himself frequently picking up after his
parents. He supposed it would be his duty, as the big brother, to make sure things in
the house were orderly as to let his parents spend more time helping their tiniest
son. He just wished Quinn was big enough to play with already.

29. When he didn't have to look after the baby, Joe found himself spending long hours in
the bakery trying to make enough money to feed the family. He didn't have much of
a knack for business, and found that it was still stuck at level 1. He was hoping a
little more experience would push the business up a bit. It would help, too, when
Stanley became a teenager and would be able to work in the store with him.

30. Joe and Kaylynn still found plenty of time for other pursuits...

31. Kaylynn also found time to take care of her precious tomato plants. She really wished she
could grow something other than tomatoes, but alas, it wasn't meant to be. She did find
that she had a natural knack for robot making. Maybe they would open a robotics store in
the near future.

32. Before any of them knew it, Quinn's birthday had crept up. Joe quickly brought the infant to
the cake and blew out the candles.
Joe: I hope you look like your mother, son. We wouldn't want you stuck with a mug like mine,
now would we?
Quinn said nothing, but instead giggled and squirmed in his father's arms.

33. Joe threw his son up into the air, and he spun into toddler-hood. Unfortunately, he seemed
to inherit features from both parents. Still, Quinn's classy outfit and huge smile were more
than enough to make up for any of Joe's genetic contributions. Besides, Joe only thought
of himself as ugly. If you asked Kaylynn, she would go on and on about how Joe was the
most handsomest man she had ever met.
That's where I'm going to leave you, folks. Once again, thank
you for reading this chapter! Next time, expect an update on
the King's, the Carson's, and a new family! See you around
and happy simming. :)
