Goldcrest - Round 2 - Noah 2

 

Round 2 - November 2010 
Noah 2
Jed Noah, 29

 

Noah looks through the ads for any gigs he can play.. Money was tight now a days. He had to pay his ex wife 500 dollars a month.



With no job in sight Jed decides to head out to chat with the neighbors. He could see that one of his neighbors were expecting and he rolled his eyes. He loved his child, but other peoples kids were demons. 



Speaking of kids, Jed decides to call his over. He had a surprise for him and couldn't wait to see the look on his face when he saw it. 
"Hey dad."
"Hey buddy, go get your shoes on okay? Your mom is dropping you off here for the night."
"She is letting me spend the night on a school night?"
"I know right, how awesome!"



Marleen drops Travor off with his dad before rushing to the town hall. She had the chance at overtime and to impress her boss, she couldn't pass up the opportunity. 
"I've got a surprise for you bud."
"A surprise?" 
"Yup, it's in the house." 
Jed walks his son over to the house. Travor is greeted by a bark and jumping. Excited he yells, "DAD you got me a dog!"
Jed laughs and nods, "Yeah, I know your mom said you couldn't have one at her house but you can have one here!"

Travor spent the majority of time at his dad's playing with Abbey.  Jed would kill for that laugh if he had too, thankfully all it took was a dog. 
Jed realized too late that he had made a mistake though. There was a 200 dollar pet fee and he was already struggling to pay the 500. 

Jed decided it was probably time to let his dreams go and get a 9 to 5..

 

Goldcrest - Round 2 - Wyatt-Young

 Round 2 - December-January 2010/2011
Wyatt-Young 
Martin Wyatt, 25 / Laurie Young, 23

Poor and jobless obviously wasn't affecting Martin in the best of ways. He couldn't believe he lost his security job at the town hall. He had no idea how he was going to make rent for the month of December but his luck seemed to be turning around somewhat when he met Maryann Walker. 

"Hey, I have been asking around about you Martin.. The socialites are looking for new members and with some hard work you could make a good living. Would you like to join?"
"What is the starting pay?"
"Well honestly, nothing, but once you start hosting parties and getting booked for events you will make a good amount of money!" 
Martin thought about this.. He didn't understand what they did?
"What is it I will be doing exactly?"
"Well, do you remember when the town was having that men in public service contest?"
"Oh yeah, for the calendar?"
"YEAH that one, well even though you didn't win your picture came across my desk and I knew I had to make you a socialite! Take some time to think about it, talk about it to the lady friend and give me a call." Maryann hands him her number before walking off and greeting the party goers. 



With a lot on his mind Martin heads to the bowling alley to think it through. He wouldn't make money right away but once he starts hosting events he would make a butt ton of money but it could also mean he would have to travel and be away from his girlfriend who was pregnant. 



"Honey I think this is a great opportunity and it would bring in good income for the baby to be."
"I know but I don't want to be gone from you and the baby a lot."
"Yeah I know, it will be hard but we will make it work. Besides we need this extra money so we can move out of this apartment and get an actual house."
Martin knew she was right but it didn't make it any easier. He decided he would call Maryann in the morning and accept the offer. 



Laurie's hours had been cut with the news that she was pregnant. She wasn't exactly mad, she was a paramedic and after throwing up for the 3rd time due to blood she felt it was probably the best. But being at home more often was boring.



December came and went and Laurie was starting to show. She couldn't believe it was the new year already. She missed her parents greatly and wished they were here to see their first grandchild. 



Laurie barely saw her boyfriend now a days. He was often working long hours for the socialites. He still managed to make her doctors appointment though and for that she was grateful. With that being said, Laurie was over the moon when Martin invited her on a date to the bamboo garden. He still wasn't making very much money and gigs were few and far between but he tried and that is what matters. 



After being seated and an interesting conversation Laurie had gained enough courage to ask the burning question. She knew it was soon but with a baby on the way she felt like it was now or never. 
"Babe."
"Yes my beautiful girlfriend."



"I know it is kinda soon and we haven't been dating for that long but what do you think about a shot gun wedding?"
"I think you beat me too it because I was going to propose to you tonight as well. I love you Laurie and I am excited to start this family." 
With a smile they both slipped their rings on and continued dinner in bliss. 



So much bliss that Laurie got up and started singing karaoke. Laurie couldn't sing at all but it was an amazing night all around. 



With a baby on the way and an engagement, Martin and Laurie decided to move in together. He at least got to see his fiancee everyday now. 



A/N:

• I literally ship these two so much!!! I did their rounds separate but they ended up moving in together the last day of the round so I put them together which is why it's December and January... Speaking of it being Jan, this is when I age every up by a year.. I don't have actual birthday months because that is too much work. LOL.
• With that being said Martin is now actually 26.. I played Laurie second so her correct age is up there. 
• Laurie actually got pregnant in Nov which means she is due in AUG.. Which is exciting! The first born in game baby.. 
• I am still unsure when I will have their wedding, whether it will be before or after the baby.. 
• As far as Martin's job, the socialites don't make money until they top the career so because of that every turn I will roll a d3 to figure out how many events he has, then I will roll a d10 to determine how much he makes per event he has that round. 
• d3 because I have 3 days per season.. d10 because he will make anywhere from 100-1000 per gig. 
• The gigs: They will be hosted at one of the community lots and they last for 4-8 hours. To prove he goes to them I will take a picture of him there. 
• Alright with all that info lets move on to a very sad house.. Someone dies in this next house and my feels are hurtttttt. 

Goldcrest - round 2 - Walker

 Round 2 - February 2011
Walker
Archie, 72 / Kerry, 67 / Maryann, 33 / Penny, 30 / Phillip, 33 / Billy, 9

"Happy Valentines day my Karrbear." 
"Happy Valentines day my love." Long ago the walkers had decided to get rid of the present part of valentines day but they still tried to spend the whole day together. Thankfully their careers gave them that ability. 



But this Valentines day was a painful one. Kerry's cancer had finally overtaken her. They knew she didn't have much time left but he didn't expect just half a year short. Archie sobs like he never had before. The cries alarm Penny and Billy, they rush in to see what the issue is. 

Penny understands what is happening immediately but Billy is confused. All he sees is his grandpa crying and goes to comfort him. 



By the time Billy realized what was happening Penny was blocking the way. "PHILLIP!" Penny yells out for her husband. 



He comes running in the bathroom only to see his mother, dead.. 



The family was devastated. Penny and Phillip tried to keep a brave face for Billy but Penny was falling apart. 

 

There was no helping Archie. He was beyond repair as the grim reaper carried his wife away to the afterlife. 



After the quick funeral Phillip had to get out of that house. All anyone did was cry and his heart hurt enough as is without adding his families grief on top. 

He played hooky from work and headed to the coffee shop in town. He soon found out he wasn't the only one playing hooky that day. The Mayor was at the coffee shop as well and Phillip couldn't help but notice how amazing she looked. 

"Madam Mayor! Pleasure as always."
"Phillip. Oh my, how are you doing? Extend my condolences to your dad and family okay?"

The conversation continued and Phillip could swear the Mayor was flirting with him. 



He decided to flirt back and was surprised when she didn't reject his advances. 

He quickly took leave after that for he didn't want to add insult to injury by cheating on his wife while the family was grieving. 



The weeks that followed had a lot of people stopping by with food or hugs and encouraging words. Archie knew everyone was just trying to be nice but he really just wanted to be left alone. 



The one that seemed to be most affected by her mothers death was Maryann. She was so bent out of shape about it Archie sent her on a vacation for a few days to clear her head a little bit. She came back a little better but she was still very emotional over the passing of her mother. 





Everyone knew the family would never be the same but they tried their hardest to keep things as normal as possible for young Billy. They allowed him to invite friends over and have sleepovers. Took him to the park and helped him with his homework. They didn't want Billy to be affected long term. 



On the last day of February Maryann couldn't take it anymore. She needed her own space away from her family. She knew now would be the perfect to ask her daddy to front her some money to help get her on her feet. 

"Daddy, can I have 10,000 dollars so I can move out."
"Sure puppet. Get my wallet." 


A/N: MY HEART. I am so hurt yall. I roll a die for when sims are suppose to die. Kerry rolled 67 and she turned 67 this year. I was going to wait for their next update to kill her but then I thought about who they are as far as a couple and they are the Valentines is the most special and never forget an anniversary type so she had to die now. Hopefully the ros won't roll a death card for anyone else anytime soon. I am trying to GROW my hood lol ! . Well see yall on the next update... Oh and one last thing, we won't see Maryann till round 3 since she stayed here the whole time. 

Happy simming
