6.15 Perfect Timing

After scoring his highest promotion at work, Ethan was more than ready to move on. He had his sights set on becoming a creature-robot cross breeder. He knew that all the hours he had used searching the skies would pay off.

So just like Gage, Ethan eventually had a birthday and left the house.

Noah was upset. Why did his family keep leaving him? He wasn't ready for it. It seemed everything he loved was always leaving him. First with his grandmother's death, then his oldest brother. Why was life so depressing?

It was this prejudice that led Noah to build high walls around himself. Of course he was close to his family, but no one else could enter his fortress. He had "friends;" however, he kept them all at a distance. He was a loner. Someone destined to walk the halls alone.

At least until Shauna transferred into the school.

Shauna was the first person that Noah decided to trust outside his family. It was a relief to see him taking interest in anyone.

However, Noah and Shauna had a fast whirl wind romance that sputtered out as quickly as it began. It wasn't violent. There were no ill feelings. Shauna was older.. and she wanted an older, more mature man.

Noah hardly had anytime to grieve because soon it was time to grow up. At least this time, there wasn't a fire involved.

It wouldn't be just the twins that grew up. Angel and Gavin joined them.

((So Generation 6 is now complete. Everything is currently met.))

6.14 Leaving the Nest

High school treated Noah well. Even though he was a loner, he found a few friends to make the day pass better. However, he hardly brought them home because of the constant ghostly presence in the house. His brothers Anthony and Jacob both preferred to get jobs.

Gage was looking forward to graduation. Tiffany had already graduated, and he couldn't wait to join her. They were perfect in their own neurotic way. Noah preferred to stay out of it. Their frequent talks of conspiracies gave him head aches.

On Gage's birthday, the family surrounded the table, including the dead family members. Only to have the party abruptly ended by a combustible cake.

Luckily, Anthony didn't sleep through pyrotechnics in school.

In the end, Gage aged up well. He quickly ran away with Tiffany to plan their attack on the Sunset Valley government.


Although they couldn't go far because Gavin purchased them a house across town.



((So I've had ghosts haunting my game for about a sim week. Not sure how to get rid of them. But it's getting annoying))

6.13 Old Grudges

But the next day would come, and when Noah woke up he would find pancakes on the kitchen table. Just like it had been all a bad dream. But it wasn't.

The family threw a funeral for Madison to help them cope. Every one arrived as planned. Even Ricky insisted that he come, even though he was currently suffering from a "skin disease." Even a few uninvited guests showed up. Nellie Ulrich showed up to crash it. Noah wasn't sure who she was, but she claimed to be Gavin's half sister.


She showed up yelling about how Madison was a murder. That Madison had murdered her father. Gavin was very upset, although Noah couldn't figure out why. Although he over heard his father and Aunts discussing a fight that their mother was in. Some fight that made his father stay. Noah wasn't sure what was going on, but he knew he did not like this Nellie.

After Nellie was forcibly removed, they were finally able to grieve in private.

Life would continue for the family. Gavin finally came down hard on Ethan and his sneaking out habits. While Ethan's luck was running low, Gage's was running high.

As Noah found him stealing kisses in the bathroom. It was quite embarrassing for Noah, but he reasoned that he wasn't the one kissing in the bathroom. Noah swore he'd never understand teenagers.
But that understanding would come soon because Noah's, and his two other brothers', birthday was quickly approaching.

((Angel's LTW is met. Those pesky triplets that ruined my life made her happy.))

6.12 Tradition

Noah couldn't sleep. Tomorrow, he would ride the bus with his big brothers to school. His grandmother would make him pancakes, just as she had Gage and Ethan. Then his mother would kiss him on the head as he left for the bus. It was tradition.

Noah turned over one more time and shut his eyes, maybe he could sleep if he tried hard enough. In the distance, he heard the click of the T.V. He quietly slid out of bed and to the door, careful not to wake Ethan in the next bed. Noah found his father, lounging on the couch. It was common to find someone on the couch. His family loved T.V., so someone was always there.
Before Noah could greet his father he heard a sharp scream from his grandmother's bathroom. Noah and his father raced towards his grandmothers screams. Noah entered to find her, looking at her ghostly appearance.

His father followed him in the bathroom and burst into tears. It was the first time he'd ever seen his father cry. Noah tried to console him, but there was no consoling. His mother soon entered, after being awaken by the commotion. Noah took this opportunity to escape. He wasn't sure what he should do. He quickly slid back into bed as quietly as he escaped it. He was haunted by the sight of his grandmother and his father's sobs.

But most importantly, how could he go to school without his pancakes?



((Let me just say that I JUST built her an addition to the back of the house.. a suite.. so I could have no more than two kids per room. Then she dies before even getting to use it... RAWR!))

6.11 Move Along

The adults had to pull double duty to get the triplets taught. With three babies, it was harder to get them all to the library. It really didn't matter, the family had the books at home anyways. Sometimes Angel would read to the kids while other times Gavin would teach them skills. Many times they'd alternate.


Even Gage and Ethan took to their younger brothers, often teaching them the glories of the block table.
Regardless of what the triplets were learning, they were hardly left alone. On occasion when Anthony was left alone, he'd do some treasure digging of his own.

Even though much of his world revolved around the triplets, Gavin made sure he still spent time with his oldest boys. They shared a common Couch Potato trait and enjoyed watching Saturday morning cartoons together.Gage soon grew into a teen. He looked strikingly like his father, and even acquired some of his odd habits.

Gavin found time to have his own birthday, even though it was in the bathroom. His mom came to see him age well. (I had to drop the walls because the bathroom is pretty small)

With all this aging the triplets decided it was their time too and one by one they were ready for their first day of school too.


((I really didn't write a whole lot about Gavin's LTW, to earn 4,000 a week in book royalties, because it was a little unessential, but he has met it.))

6.10 Welcome Home

Gage didn't miss a moment when his parents arrived. His parents had missed his first day of school and he was determined to tell them all about it. Even if all his mother wanted to do was find space for the new babies.

It was rough at first, even with all three adults caring for the babies. Ethan was almost a big boy himself, he was counting down to the days when he could go to school. The triplets, who refused to stay on a synced schedule, kept all the adults busy at all hours of the night.

The house was busy, the door was always open for all Madison's grandbabies. Letica, Keira's oldest, came over regularly with Gage. She was shocked to find out that it was already time for the triplets to grow up. The family crowded around the table once again, but this time, for four birthdays, as it was Ethan's big day too!

(Madison has seven grandchildren right now, but she'll die before the eighth is born.)

6.9 Happy Brithday Gage

Gavin loved his job. The best part about being a professional author was making your own hours. Which was convenient for being home with your expecting wife and two toddler sons. The boys were quickly growing and soon the house fell back into a predicable chaos. With all three adults working with the boys, no one had sleepless nights.

Angel was expecting again, but this time the pregnancy was rough. It was taking a huge toll on her body. Gavin tried to take on as much of the child raising as possible but he knew he couldn't do it all. The doctor constantly warned her to stay in bed, especially so close to her due date, but Angel hardly listened.

Gavin warned her to take it easy, a warning that fell on deaf ears. Gage's birthday was approaching, and Angel was well prepared to throw him an epic party. After booking the caterer and mailing the invites, Angel was prepared to work with Ethan in hopes that he could walk at his brother's party.

Gavin was startled by her shouting from the playroom. He looked up from the computer screen to peer around the corner. He could see Angel ahead of him holding her stomach, screaming in pain. Her plan almost would have work except by over exerting herself she pushed herself into early labor.

He stood outside the hospital scared. He'd never been scared in his life. Not where Angel was involved. But now, after hearing her screams, what would he do if she didn't make it. Even though the night was warm, he felt cold. He couldn't do this on his on. He needed her. He wanted her. And not just for the kids sake but for his also. The pager the nurse had given him before he left sounded and he rushed to be by his love's side. They'd make it through this together.
Somehow they made it through the night, Gage's birthday. They made it through the night with three little healthy boys to take home.



((Yes... I was cursed with not only triplets.. BUT ALL BOYS. Oh well. I did the number heir
thing, so Noah is heir. I exceeded my four kids, but they were unplanned triplets so it doesn't count. It helps me for her LTW though, which I so had a better story for (infidelity anyone?) but I assume this works. Also.. yes the numbering is off.. no nothing is missed.. I combined two because they pretty much just copied each other. ))

6.7 What's expected

Gavin was always odd. He ruled it off on the fact that he didn't know his father. As far as he knew, Ricky was the closest thing to a father he'd ever have. And now Ricky spent most of his time in the hospital, battling a skin infection. So when Angel became pregnant after one irresponsible night, Gavin knew he would be very actively enrolled in his unborn child's life. He did what he though he was supposed to do. He married her.

Since they were married, they figured they might as well give into each others desires, even if it meant a second child was born.

So the cycle started over again before the first was finished. Gavin and Angel toted the toddlers to the library for family day and Madison spent her time helping teach them skills. It was almost a fine tuned machine with the cycle almost complete as Gage raced towards his first day of school.

Angel went on maternity leave and devoted her new spare time to teaching Gage his skills. Even daddy tried to help out. Gavin wanted to instill his love of books, so he would wake up early and tote Gage to the library for mornings full of readings.

During one of their family days at the library, Angel finally went into labor. She rushed ahead to the hospital as Gavin rushed Gage home.

The two returned days later with a second healthy baby boy, Ethan. Madison was thrilled with the new addition, but she didn't think she would ever understand her son's relationship.

Some days, the couple went to sleep exhausted. It was times like this, when they'd lay across from each other whispering about Ethan's new milestone or Gage's tantrum, that made Gavin feel like he could do this. He could love the mother of his children. It was times like this when he'd let his guard down.

Times like these that lead to the cycle starting all over again.


((Ok so most of this just recaps the early years of the two children and leads into the last of the "batch". Its really two entries together so its a little jumbled. Also, for some strange reason.. I have NO pictures of the parents kissing or talking or anything.. just raising kids...))
