- 1.
- 2. Welcome the 100Pregnancy Challenge. I originally got the idea from Rae-Rae on the Sims 2 New website, which I’m not entirely sure it still exists. Anyways she had the 100 Baby Challenge. An of course I wanted to make it harder, because well that’s how things go. I had this house on the edge of Laguna Isle, my legacy hood and decided I needed to break down and do something with it. So I said why not let a poor single woman who’s going to have a lot of kids fix it up.
- 3. Meet Flora Solei,she originally had skin 4 and black hair, but a baby making challenge demands recessives so here she is. She’s a popularity sim with the LTW of being a Media Magnate. I had my dad pick a bunch of random numbers so she’s a Libra and like buff men in swimwear. I’m going to roughly follow the Who’s Your Daddy by Csquared criteria for baby daddies. Anyways on with the show
- 4. Flora looked upand down the street with a sigh, she had thought Laguna Isle was going to be bigger. The brochure she hand been handed had mentioned a legacy family on the island. Usually that meant a well off neighborhood, but here the neighborhood seemed positively unfinished. Much like the house she was assigned.
- 5. It was certainlylarge enough, but completely unfinished and unfurnishes. The Immigration Office said it was her job to fix it up. She was also given the option to complete a challenge, 100 Pregnancy Challenge to be exact. Not one that was done very often. Flora wasn’t a family sim but if it meant waiving the Immigration fee from Riverblossom it was worth giving a go. She would always have a lot of friends.
- 6. Even with theImmigration Fee waived, buying the house had eaten up most of her available funds. The only thing she could afford at the moment was a front door and a toilet.
- 7. Luckily she wasan avid reader and had read the brochure front to back, fine print on the back had mentioned buried treasure rumors. Whispers of Pirate Steve scattering his treasure all about the island. She found a shovel behind the garage and got to digging.
- 8. She had foundtwo bones by the time the paper boy arrived. He looked at her strangely but just set down the paper and walked off whistling flatly. She brushed the dirt off her hands, maybe he just wasn’t used to seeing people at this particular house. Especially strange woman digging in the dirt.
- 9. She browsed throughthe job section, if she was going to fix up this house it would take more that just digging for treasure. There was no offers for her dream job in Journalism, but she nabbed an offered in the adventure career. She would get some hands on skills there to help her get the toughest stories. She left for work immediately the office not too far from her house. No point in wasting time.
- 10. The welcome wagoncame while she was away. Ani-Mei sighed, looking around. Pony was up to something again. It had been awhile since she had left this house unfinished, and this morning Ani- Mei saw someone digging in the front yard. Who ever it was wasn’t home, she would come back later and see what was up.
- 11. When she gothome she went back to digging. Her first day’s wages were only enough to get the kitchen basics. She still needed a bed and a phone. She only needed a little bit more. She dug up two rocks to go with her two bones. That gave her enough to get those two things.
- 12. Soon people beganwalking by her house. She stopped her digging and greeted Elise Do and Derek Menon. Elise went inside to explore Flora’s empty house. Flora and Derek stayed outside to talk.
- 13. They talked outsideuntil after sunset. Derek, even though he was much older than her was fairly charming and not too bad looking despite smelling like cabbage.
- 14. Derek was quickto become her friend. It was close to midnight when she finally said goodbye, she had work the next morning and didn’t want to risk being late.
- 15. Despite the grassfloor and windowless walls, over all Laguna Isle seemed to be a nice place. She mused as she got into bed, at work there was mention of some simselves living in the region. She would sure to get a spot in journalism if she could get interview of such VIPs.
- 16. Morning came earlierthan she expected it to, she relaxed on her bed awhile before getting up. There wasn’t much to do at home yet other than dig. She thought about calling Elise, but the older woman probably wasn’t up yet. Digging it was.
- 17. She found onlya rock before work. The sun was rising already when she got started.
- 18. The paperboy stoodfor a bit after he laid down the paper. Flora started to worry about him because he stared into space with a strange grin plastered on his face before he left, whistling.
- 19. As soon ashe was gone she scooped up the paper scanning it for journalism openings. None again. She sighed, she didn’t want to be in the military so she would stay in adventuring a little longer.
- 20. The skies openedout in a downpour just as the carpool drove up. Flora sighed, at least her roof didn’t leak. Already her dig spot was filling with water. She shuddered to think of digging through the mud to find treasure.
- 21. Work went byquickly. Her office had free lunch service which meant she didn’t have to eat much at home. It helped when her bills came in the mail. She winced a little when she wrote the check, but such was life. She did notice another elderly man walking by. And he didn’t smell like cabbage.
- 22. Avri Day mostdefinitely did not smell like cabbage. His laugh was infectious when he faked her out for a handshake.
- 23. Flora scraped upher nerve and asked him out on a date. “A pretty little thing like you, you tease an old man.” He replied. “Just one to see how it goes.” She pressed. “I’ve always like more experienced men.” “Well then, I’ll give the old college try.”
- 24. “See this isso bad.” She said as they slow danced to nonexistent music. “Not bad at all.” Avri agreed.
- 25. It was aftermidnight before they said goodbye. Avri pulling into a long kiss. Nope definitely did not smell like cabbage. “I’d like to do this again.” Avri said at last. “Me too, I’ll call you soon.” She promised.
- 26. Now she justneed to figure out how to tell him she had a challenge to complete. That involved her sleeping with 99 other men. She sighed, she would see how things went with Avri before she told him.
- 27. Avri had givenher a computer before their date. His company made them and this was a prototype. He wanted her to test and tell what she thought. She searched online for job opening, still nothing in journalism even with the wide variety with a web search. She sighed things weren’t going as well as she hoped in her new home. Thought the date with Avri had been nice, she was looking forward to another one tonight.
- 28. “Flower.” Ray smiledto himself. The newcomer was doing well for herself. Pony would be pleased. He laid the paper next to the rose and went away whistling ‘Whistle while you work’
- 29. After work Florahopped in the shower only to hear the phone ringing off the hook. She jumped and dried as quickly as she could for it only to be Elise. Her heart sank a little, but she talked with the older woman a minute before hanging up. She dialed Avri’s number only to get his voicemail. She sighed then dialed Derek’s, she had a challenge to do and she wasn’t going to be young forever. Avri would have to understand.
- 30. “Thanks for comingover Derek.” She said when he arrived a few minutes later. “I was in the area, though I have to admit I’m a little surprised. You say this is for a challenge.” “Yes, I’m sorry to use you like this. You are my first friend in the area.” “Don’t worry about it dear, I know a thing or two about challenges.” He said with a secretive smile.
- 31. “You have torelax.” She said when Derek pulled away when she tried to touch his arm. “I know, I’m just a little not use to this.”
- 32. He hesitantly grabbedher hands and pulled her closer. “See this isn’t so hard.” She said with a small smile. “I guess not.”
- 33. Things went betterafter that. Derek allowed himself to seduced. She was a pretty thing after all. And it’s not everyday that an old man like him gets to be part of a challenge.
- 34. At midnight theyparted ways. Flora watched Derek head home, that was the best date she had ever had. Despite his shyness. He wasn’t as attractive as Avri, but he was more passionate. Flora knew he would understood the challenge and what it meant. She was just glad to give the old man a bit of life.
- 35. The next morningFlora knew what she had to do. She spent the morning jump roping to get the one skill point she needed for work while waiting for the paper boy. She found herself whistling the song he liked to.
- 36. There was stillnone job openings, she would have to hold out a little longer.
- 37. Outside a strangelygarbed woman let an equally strange lamp on her doorstep. Flora didn’t have time to think about she was on the phone inviting Avri over, thankfully he was home.
- 38. “I thought youweren’t going to call.” Avri teased with a grin. “I did, yesterday.” She poked him, “You weren’t home.” I called someone else over because I’m bound to complete a challenge. She yearned to explain to Avri, but couldn’t bring herself to, what if he didn’t understand like Derek.
- 39. She pushed itout of her mind, enjoying the date. Things took longer to heat up than she expected, but Avri was much older than her and things were like that sometimes.
- 40. Shortly before Avrihad to leave for work, Flora convinced him to the bedroom. Derek was her friend, but Avri was so much more, she decided. She couldn’t help but get a little attached.
- 41. After Avri leftshe went to check out the strange lamp. Another elderly woman was standing in her front yard. Was Laguna Isle a retirement community? She had only seen elderly people other than the paper boy. Maybe he took the ferry for Bluewater village everyday. Were the simselves elderly too? She had never seen old simselves they seemed to defy time.
- 42. “Hi I’m AnnaPokémon.” The woman smiled politely ignoring Flora’s state of undress. “Flora Solei. I just got here a few days ago.” “I figured that, Pony was all excited about something.” “Pony?” “Oh? She hasn’t come by yet. Drat that silly girl, I’ll put a flea in her ear.” Anna fussed, “I’ll go now, nice to meet you dear. My daughters will be so excited to hear about another young woman in the area.”
- 43. “Oh my God!”She gasped when she turned around to see a genie floating above the lamp. “I’m a great and all powerful genie, you may wish for three things no more.” He said in a booming voice. “Money.” She said instantly, a giant bag dropped from overhead. “Thank you.” But her word fell on deaf ears the genie was already gone. She would save the other two wishes for later, she may need them.
- 44. She received 20thousand from the genie. She used almost all of it to furnish the house and carpet and paint. She didn’t skimp on the things she did buy, but went ahead and got the best she could afford. She could get more later but having good quality things went they would last a lot longer. Especially since she was expecting to have so many kids.
- 45. She got intoher now comfortable bed upstairs. It was a weird feeling, she had never lived in a two story house before. Even her apartment in Riverblossom Hills had been on the first floor. She could feel the empty space underneath her feet. It was kind of fun she told herself curling up under the covers.
- 46. Flora awoke witha start, twenty minutes earlier than usual. She had had nightmares all night about what Avri’s reaction would be when she told him about the challenge. Her stomach roiled and she had the odd feeling in the back of her throat.
- 47. She barely madeit to the toiler in time. Could she be this nervous? It wouldn’t be the first time she was so nervous she made herself sick.
- 48. Hoping her stomachwould settle she looked for job openings. Again nothing. The only thing she could do was keep trying. She hadn’t even been here a week yet. Maybe she’d call Anna Pokémon and see what she had to say. Pokémon was an odd last name. Flora mused, must be the legacy family. She counted her lucky stars that her challenge theme had been flowers or plants. She didn’t even have to change her name even though the contract had mentioned that she might’ve had too.
- 49. The carpool honkedand the moment she stood up her stomach betrayed her. No way this was nerves, she must have a stomach bug. Though there had not been any going around. She could be pregnant and this was morning sickness. Oh no she’d have to Avri sooner than she thought.
- 50. As soon asshe got home, she called Avri. Only his answering machine picked up. He wasn’t home. She swallowed, then dialed Anna’s. She wasn’t home either. Flora set down the receiver feeling dejected. She could call Derek he would understand, but she couldn’t bring herself to tell him that she had gotten pregnant with a another man’s child either.
- 51. She saw somepass by her window, a man, a man actually her age. She changed out of her work clothes and ran to greet him. Putting her current drama out of her mind. “Armando.” He grinned holding out his hand. “Flora.” She replied reaching to take it. He pulled it away last second. She burst into giggles and he guffawed. For some reason that was always funny.
- 52. They chatted fora bit. Armando lived in Blue Water but had spent the day on Laguna for a change. Flora tried to keep up with the conversation but she was tired. “A real handshake this time.” She smiled as they said goodbye. “Yeah, I’ll see you around sometime then?” He asked taking her hand. “Yeah.” She nodded. Like she needed another man right now, but she did like him.
- 53. She popped rightafter her stomach rebelled one last time. At least that part was over now. She had vacation days for maternity leave. She would call Avri tomorrow and hope for the best.
- 54. She found somepurple pajamas that fit and went to bed. Tomorrow would come earlier than she wished it too.
- 55. She barely gotto sleep when she heard something moving around outside. A man was creeping through her front yard. Her heat pounded in her cheat she was going to get robbed. The phone was downstairs she would have to run by the burglar to get to it.
- 56. The burglar ignoredher on the stairs to raid the nursery. Flora made it down to the phone and dialed emergency services. The cops would be there soon.
- 57. The cop andburglar fought on the landing. Almost on top of Flora. She winced every time the cop was hit. He was way out of shape. The burglar got away with the crib and swing seat from the nursery. She could replace those she was just thankful that nothing more was taken.
- 58. After the copleft, Flora made herself a bowl of cereal. It felt like she hadn’t eaten in days. Guess it was just a part of being pregnant. She ate two bowls of cereal before going back to bed.
- 59. She awoke toArmando standing in her front lawn. “Armando! What are you doing here?” She asked, waddling outside in her pjs. “You’re pregnant? Wow, um, I just going to ask if you wanted to visit Blue Water today. You said you hadn’t been there yet.”
- 60. “Oh, I’m notreally up to going out, I have to call the father you see.” She said feeling guilty watching his face fall. “Maybe some other time?” “Yeah.” Armando scuffed his shoes on the sidewalk, “Call you later then?” “Yeah.” She said weakly he walked past her leaving her alone on the sidewalk.
- 61. She tried callingAvri, with no luck, he was already at work. She stared at the phone for a minute and then call Armando back over. Maybe he would want to hang out even if they didn’t go to Blue Water.
- 62. “Thanks for comingback.” She said when he came into view. “Listen, I like you, but I don’t know if this will work, what about the baby daddy?” Armando said skipping his usual light hearted greeting. “I suppose I should tell you. I’m a challenge sim.” She said nervously. “Like a Who’s Your Daddy?” “Kind of.” “Okay, I’ll try, I do like kids.”
- 63. She popped intoher third trimester toward the end of the date. Things had been going good before that moment.
- 64. She ended thedate shortly after. Armando gave her a goodbye kiss her large belly awkwardly squished between them. He didn’t seemed to mind strangely enough.
- 65. She went tobed exhausted, Armando was fun. But tomorrow she would have to tell Avri about the baby and the truth.
- 66. She didn’t wasteanytime the next morning and called Avri as soon as it was polite. He was a little surprised that she wasn’t asking for a date, just inviting him over. None the less he agreed and Flora hopped in the shower.
- 67. She greet hima bit excitedly being so relieved that he came. He seemed too stunned to say anything about her condition.
- 68. She made aquick breakfast and sat him down to explain. “So that’s mine.” He said quietly asked she finished. “Yeah.” She whispered, a knot in her belly. “Dang kid, I’m too old to be a father.” He ran his fingers through his hair, “I gotta make a proper woman out of you.”
- 69. “NO!” She saidsharply, then quieter, “I don’t think it’ll work like that between us. I’ll be okay once I get a promotion at work.” “Sure you will.” He scoffed. “Spend the day with me please.” She said suddenly as he rose to leave, “I’m due today, I don’t know if I can do it alone.”
- 70. She was exhaustedbut she convinced him to go upstairs and lay down with her for a little bit. He was stiff and cold in her arms.
- 71. It wasn’t muchof a surprise to find him gone when she woke hours later. She stifled tears, she was going to be alone after all. Her stomach growled after hours of napping. She headed downstairs to eat some left overs.
- 72. She tried totake a shower to relax when the labor pains started. She scream as loud as she wanted, no one was around. A small benefit of being alone.
- 73. The labor painsstarted and didn’t stop until she had given birth to three babies, two girls and a boy. Arnica, Chamomile and Borage. They all had her eyes and Avri’s hair must have been black in his youth for all of them had dark hair.
- 74. “Shush, don’t crynow.” She said patting Borage’s soft back, “Momma’s got you.” This challenge would be the hardest thing she had ever done but looking into her children’s eyes it would all be worth it. She might not be a family sim, but she would never be alone again.
- 75. That’s a wrapfor Flora’s first week in Laguna Isle. I hit the random button for triplets and quads. I figure it would be an extra challenge into the mix, but poor Flora I don’t know if I’ll do that again. I had hoped her eyes would be genetized but it looks like not. We’ll after to see after a few more pregnancy. As you can tell, all babies are named after herbs and plants, I figured it was a little nicer than naming them after fish. Arnica is a plant that mainly used to treat bruising and wounds. It can be taken in pill form or spread on the bruise in a cream. But should not be drunk in tea. Chamomile is herb that is used from many things, but mostly drunk in tea from. It’s great for before bedtime tea because it lets you relax enough to sleep. Borage is often used in sweetening desserts. It’s also used in tea form to relieve PMS symptoms.
- 76. One disclaimer beforeI go. Always speak to a professional before trying herbal medicine. I don’t count. We use the herbs at work, but I’m still learning what they do. A coworker and I made the mistake of adding Arnica to a tea which we found out that you aren’t supposed to ingest it in raw form. Luckily we only used one flower, but still talk to someone or do some research before trying herbal medicine at home. Otherwise:
