[align=center]The Legacy Of Me - Chapter Two
[font=calibri][size=10pt]Hey guys, heres the next instalment of TLOM. It features Reece growing up, moving day and story progression. Enjoy!

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-52.jpg[/img]

I often wake up in the middle of the night. Its a motherly instinct, but when I get the urge to give Reece his midnight feed, Liam is already there doing it for me. I would have never believed he’d be a loving father, but I have been wonderfully mistaken.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-53.jpg[/img]

Reece is now four months old, I take him everywhere I go. Turns out Clare was further along in her pregnancy than I thought she was, her daughter is now five years old. Her name is Christian (I personally think its a very manly name, but thats her choice) and her father has finally been revealed as Jared Frio from down the street! Who’d have thought it,

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-54.jpg[/img]

At nine months old, we made out first town visit as a family. Poor Liam, he is so focused on his work. There is a spot open in a local band and Liam wants in! Studying music theory next to a fountain is the most relaxing this so far.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-55.jpg[/img]

Before my eyes, Reece is growing older. He looks beautiful, just like his father. I take no credit in his looks, that’d be a poor child. I’ve already worked out he hates the outdoors, but he is a very friendly little boy.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-57.jpg[/img]

With my baby growing older, I can finally relax and get back into my hobbies. Having a green-thumb means I love my garden. I want the best for my family, so I’ll do my best to grow my own foods, organic meals and healthy diet and workout schedules. It sounds stupid, but I don’t want my child growing up the wrong way.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-59.jpg[/img]

He is very mischievous. Always hiding from his babysitter. Me and Liam are both working nights to achieve our goals, so we leave our baby in the trusting hands of a well-respected teen.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-58.jpg[/img]

Well, sometimes.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-61.jpg[/img]

I got home from work later that evening. There had been an accident at work, and I’d been burned in a minor kitchen fire. It left me in a horrible mood, but walking into my home with my loving family is enough to turn a frown upside down.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-62.jpg[/img]

I’m always in good and loving hands with my husband, cuddling up next to him in bed makes my life complete. I couldn’t think of a better thing to do in my life.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-63.jpg[/img]

I can’t even blink anymore without my little boy growing up underneath my nose. He is slowly becoming more adorable. Pondering the decisions, hes getting older and we may even need to move house. I do like our little home next to the beach, and next to Clare, but I need to think about whats best for my family.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-64.jpg[/img]

Now was the time to drop in something important. “Liam, I have to tell you something” “What is it baby?” “I’m pregnant”

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-65.jpg[/img]

My baby was growing inside me, and my other baby was off on his first day of school. The bus didn’t come for another hour, but he wanted to get a head start on his studies. I’m so proud of him.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-66.jpg[/img]

With the maternity dress out again, it was time to reveal my pregnancy to my friends. I made a stop over to Clare’s home – and boy she had changed. She was a lot older than I thought she was, but she was still a loving mother, turns out she had another child! Where was I at all?! She had a little girl with her ex-lovers brother!

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-69.jpg[/img]

Reece is thrilled to be a big brother someday, and makes a point of saying hello to his baby brother or sister every day. I personally want a girl, Liam wants a boy. No surprises there.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-70.jpg[/img]

No rest for the pregnant in this house, if you want something doing you do it yourself.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-73.jpg[/img]

I went into labour again late one evening. I was reading up on my culinary skills, so I can become a master of the kitchen. This baby wouldn’t wait though, I was having a baby and I was having it now!

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-74.jpg[/img]

I gave birth to another little boy, named Mike (purely because I was talking to mike, and I’m lazy). I was slightly disappointed that I didn’t have a girl, but it could be worse. I had another baby in the family to look after! Reece would be thrilled.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-75.jpg[/img]

Reece is making friends quickly, he spends a lot of time at their homes before curfew. I’m proud about how sociable he is.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-77.jpg[/img]

I finally matured into a fully grown adult. I didn’t feel any different, but I really need to reconsider this hairstyle pronto!

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-79.jpg[/img]

I wasn’t the only one maturing, my baby boy grew up quickly too. These children are growing up too fast, I wasn’t ready to stop being a mother yet.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-80.jpg[/img]

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-80.jpg[/img]

Later that evening, Liam came home with an announcement. “Baby, I have great news!” “What is it?” “I bought us a house!”

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-81.jpg[/img]

“Its not too big, but its big enough for our growing family” He said. Little did he know, I wanted to extend it some more.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-82.jpg[/img]

Later that week, we stood infront of our new home. I was sad to leave our old home behind, but we will be making new memories in our new home. Life only gets better from here.

Thats all for this chapter!

[align=center]The Legacy Of Me - Chapter Three
[font=calibri][size=10pt]This chapter features Reece becoming a teenager and finding out true love, Mike being a potential badass and me forgetting I was pregnant again – and that the baby even existed. Enjoy!

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot.jpg[/img]

We hadn’t been in the new house long before Reece grew up. He is starting to become a real looker and I can’t wait to see what he gets up to now he’s a teenager, with a limit of course.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-2.jpg[/img]

I’d not moved in long, when the overwhelming urge to throw up came over me. It was a recognisable feeling I’d had with both the boys. This was all we needed. It was what I wanted, but of course I can’t work when I’m pregnant.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-3.jpg[/img]

Luckily Reece had kept his artistic talents since childhood – and still aims to reach full potential with his art and his guitar, which he had been neglecting recently.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-4.jpg[/img]

After maxing out my recipes and culinary skills whilst pregnant with Mike, I was slowly but surely working my way up my career ladder. I aim to be a well recognised chef as soon as I can.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-5.jpg[/img]

Unfortunately my career would have to take a step back for another nine months, as I was pregnant again! I wonder how the boys will take it – I really hope I have a little girl this time.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-6.jpg[/img]

When Liam heard Reece had been neglecting his guitar skills, he was angry! Fortunately he organised a father-son jammin’ session which did them both a world of good. Now Liam had maxxed out his guitar skill, getting those promotions would be a lot easier!

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-7.jpg[/img]

Right before my eyes, my little toddler Mike grew up. He didn’t look too impressed to be honest – and developed the trait “ambitious”

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-8-1.jpg[/img]

The new house was glitched, so I moved them to a newer one.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-9.jpg[/img]

Mike became very sporty when we moved again. He picked up an old football from the street and started tossing it around. I sense an athletic upbringing if he wants it when he is older.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-11-1.jpg[/img]

Of course, a new house means more new neighbours. A family of four friends moved in next door to us, and I went over to visit them the next night. Apparently we work at the same place, who knew!

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-12-1.jpg[/img]

However, just because I’ve moved does not mean I neglect my friendships. I went to visit Clare, Christian and Haley late one evening – unfortunately my visit was cut short when I went into labour!

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-14-1.jpg[/img]

My wishing had worked! I’d given birth to a little girl, who we decided to call Amy.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-15-1.jpg[/img]

After Amy was born, I started to get into a daily routine. Every morning at 6am I woke up, got dressed and started making breakfast for the boys.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-17-1.jpg[/img]

Of course, they’d much rather eat leftovers from the previous day. Reece is really not watching what he eats – anymore and I’ll have to put him on a strict healthy diet!

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-18-1.jpg[/img]

Mike is starting to struggle with school. I promised him I’d get him some help, but he insists he is fine without it. I’m sure if he puts his mind to it, he’ll get on the honor roll like his big brother.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-19-1.jpg[/img]

Both Liam and Reece finish work at the same time, and with their places being so close to each other, Reece mooches a lift home from Liam every night he can. Suppose you can’t change a persons traits.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-22-1.jpg[/img]

With so much time off, and having three children, jogging is the most relaxing past time I can think of right now. Its just simple, putting on my running shoes and exploring the town. I’ve been to places I’ve never even seen before.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-23-1.jpg[/img]

I’ve never made it clear, but I have a thing for the paranormal. I visit the Sunset Valley cemetery every so often, and sit around and look at the beauty of such a simple place.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-24-1.jpg[/img]

Okay, I may have overemphasised beauty.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-25-1.jpg[/img]

Weirdly, I’m not the only one. Bella Bachelor down the street has a thing for the paranormal too. But it’d make sense, most of her family is buried here. I can see why, its quite a nice place thinking about it.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-26-1.jpg[/img]

Later that evening, I got a chance to meet a ghost for myself. She didn’t tell me her name, but she died in a fire a couple of years ago. She said death is pleasantly peaceful, and would recommend it to all her friends.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-27-1.jpg[/img]

Back home, Liam is making the most of being a father to Amy. Its strange, but with my job and now my jogging, I’ve not spent as much time at home as I’d have liked to.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-29.jpg[/img]

I now know why Reece is in such a rush all the time, he has a girlfriend! Little Haley Ursine (Clares youngest daughter) has fallen in love with my little guy. She is such a nice girl, so I couldn’t be more proud of him.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-30.jpg[/img]

He really is sweet on her, giving each other their first kisses down at the local park. So sweet.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-32-1.jpg[/img]

Right under my nose, Amy grew up sprouting a full head of blonde hair, just like her Mummy.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-33-1.jpg[/img]

With Reece dating now, he stays up late to keep an eye on his school work – I’d hate for him to throw away everything he had for a girl. As nice as she is, studies always come first young man!

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-34-1.jpg[/img]

Liam is slowly working his way up his career, the mayor sent him a certificate congratulating him on his guitar skills. I’ve never been so proud of my little family.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-36-1.jpg[/img]

Reece has taken my advice on keeping up with his homework – and even spends time at Haley’s getting it done. Thats my boy!

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-37-1.jpg[/img]

Of course, he takes an occasional break to cuddle with his girl. She is very self conscious about her weight, but Reece ignores that. Real beauty is on the inside.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-39-1.jpg[/img]

With his growing success, and age, Liam finally gets a makeover! He could’ve done better, but I can’t change the way he is I suppose. Needless to say, he looks rather handsome.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-40.jpg[/img]

Reece is painting more and more strange things. He says these people live in another world, but look just like us. Imagine that, another generation of sims somewhere out there!

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-41-1.jpg[/img]

Amy is such a quiet child, I occasionally forget shes there! Oops.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-43-1.jpg[/img]

Out of nowhere again, Mike grew up! Don’t be deceived by the image, he doesn’t wear these clothes a lot anyway.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-44-1.jpg[/img]

I often catch him sneaking out at night, turns out hes at the gym! He developed the athletic trait, so he spends a lot of time bulking up.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-45-1.jpg[/img]

Unfortunately, he got caught out one night by the police. Needless to say, we were not happy.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-46-1.jpg[/img]

Liam lashed out at the poor boy, but I wasn’t so harsh. He shouldn’t have been out, but boys will be boys. We were all young once.

[img width=600 height=450]http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac310/ARealDeadRingerForLove/The%20Maple%20Legacy/Sims%203/Screenshot-47-1.jpg[/img]

I do wish I were home more, as Amy once again grew up under my nose! She developed the neurotic trait. Should I be worried yet?

And thats all for now!
