The Heaton Family Legacy - Maura 1.1

Maura Heaton just moved to Starlight Shores in hopes of starting her life over. She was irresistible, hopeless romantic, coward and charismatic. Her life's dream was to be the leader of the free world.

She scrounged whatever money she had left and bought a few necessities.

 Maura needed to know a little more logic for her job at city hall. The book store seemed like a good place to start.

She met a guy outside of the store who was catcalling her.
'I'm ending this before it starts'

It didn't end well.

'Why do people insist on complaining about the government to the lowest on the totem pole?'

Maura decided to take up painting as a hobby.
"Maybe this will help me earn some simoleons.."

Too bad Maura was too afraid of the dark to have a decent night's sleep.

Poor Maura was so poor she couldn't even afford shoes...

The next morning, Maura gave herself a pep talk.
"Ok Maura. You're going to get your promotion. Why? Because Podium cleaning fluid smells bad and makes you gag that's why"

Maura needed to make friends if she was going to survive. She made one in Brandon Woods, her co worker

They got along well.

Really well

"Who in the world is spreading rumors, that aren't really rumors, about my lack of funds? Not today"

"Our opponent is winning? Not on my watch"

"He'll be shaking Grim's hand before that happens"

One night, Brandon appeared on Maura's....lawn.
"Brandon? What are you doing here?"
"I thought I'd pay you a visit. Those rumors seemed pretty nasty huh?"

Maura was a bit irritated by that.
"Why? Are you hear to make fun of me too?!"

"No, not at all. They seemed pretty nasty. This lot is pretty big. It's understandable that you're short on funds."
"I wanted to build my own home...my own legacy"

"That's admirable"
"Yeah...now if only the people at city hall took me seriously"
"Give it time, Maura. They'll get with the program one day"

Maura sighed and  looked up at Brandon. It was taking all her courage to talk with Brandon the way she was. She never felt like this before: brave.

She kissed him and he didn't push her away.

It was like the world stopped around them.
"Brandon..."
"Maura."

"Do you want to...I mean..stay the night?"
"I'd love to"

Everything was so..perfect.

It wasn't until Maura was sleeping that her common sense kicked in.
'Good job Dummy! You just slept with a married man!'

But when Brandon held her during the night, she seemed to forget about that little detail.

The next morning reality had caught up to them.
"Hi Brandon"
"Hi"

"Maura, I don't know if you know this but I'm married."
"....I know."

Brandon opened his mouth to, presumably, end their short lived affair.
"Brandon. It's ok. We don't have to mention it again. It was a one night stand. I get it"
"Well...I was going to say that I want to continue this but..."

Maura was shocked.
"What?! W-what about your wife?!"

"Stardust and I have our problems. I thought we were soulmates once...but then I met you and I just don't know. I guess what I'm trying to say is...I want to see where this goes."

They stood there looking at eachother. There wasn't any harm in seeing if there was some sort of deep connection between them. If it went foul, no one would have to know.

 "Ok"
"I'm glad to hear it, Maura"

"Our little secret then?"
"Our little secret"

The two of them ran off to work as separately as they could.

In other news, Maura has a house!

"Finally a roof over my head. Thank plumbob.."

Yay for the Sims 3 Legacy Redo!

Why do all my sims go for the older man who is most likely married? It's a curse.

Just Wishing Along - Alicia 1.1

Hello all!
As you know, my old computer bit it and I had to reinstall everything on my new one. I also lost all my saves. I decided to restart my challenges (besides going solo).

Thus, have a brand new wishacy!

Enjoy!
--
Alicia Allred moved out to Roaring Heights straight out of Medical School. She wanted a life outside of her parent's medical degrees. She also wanted a family...a big one.

Her home was definitely not big enough for her dreams but she could work on that.

Alicia got a job at Avalon Hospital. She remembered that it was a good hospital from her parents. Her life seemed to be going a ok so far.

The thing was...Alicia was very shy and socially awkward. She felt most comfortable staying home and reading.

She was happy that some neighbours came to her. Alicia got very nervous around new people.

"I hope my first Mac & Cheese goes well."

It didn't.

"Maybe my waffles will go better!"

Nope.

"6 figures for a wedding?! That's crazy..."

Alicia figured she should get to know her boss a little better. She was pleased that he didn't mind coming over to chat.

It turns out Thomas LeFontaine was one attractive sim.

Too bad Alicia always seemed to make things awkward.
"sigh. I'll have to apologize at work tomorrow."

Alicia tried her hand at pancakes this time...

Success!

Alicia invited Thomas over again in some hopes of salvaging whatever realtionship they had. The sexual tension at work was getting quite unbearable.

"Uh...Mr.LeF-Thomas. This may seem really awkward but I like you a lot. More then just in a friendly way. I thought maybe we could go on a date sometime? I mean...if you want."

Alicia was expecting a rejection but..that's not what happened. Thomas kissed her.

They stood there on the lawn kissing for quite some time.

"I like you too, Alicia. I'd love to go out with you"

That first date was a success. Thomas loved children like she did and they had quite a lot in common. They kept their romance a secret. It wouldn't really reflect well that she was dating her boss..for either of them. Alicia didn't mind though. Thomas was hers and that's what mattered.

Her cooking skills were also getting better.

Alicia and Thomas may not see eachother all that much but they talked on the phone constantly.

They talked so often that sometimes Alicia was late for work.

When they did see eachother, makeouts happened behind diners.

"I had a lovely time, Thomas. I'll see you later. Love you."
"I love you too"

Girl...it's about time you cleaned that up

One night, Thomas called her
"Thomas! I'm just making dinner. What's wrong?"

"Wait... the police? I'll come right over to help"

It turns out that Tom's daughter, Elizabeth, threw a bachlorette party that went just a little crazy. Thomas had just come home from a late shift to find the police had been called. He hoped a female touch could calm her down from a drunken fight. Alicia had been under the impression that Elizabeth was younger then her. Nope. Elizabeth was the same age as her.

They didn't like eachother...at all. Elizabeth hated children and had commitment issues. She also had a few opinions about her.
"You gold digger!"
"I am not, Elizabeth. Now let's get you some water before you collapse. I'm sure your fiancee would hate to see you hungover, or worse arrested, at your wedding."

Alicia decided she better leave before things got too ugly.

These things happen when you do a wishacy. You should just see her bathroom.

About time!

Girl...if you burn down this house...I'll kill you

Alicia somehow ended up on a mission to solve the tension in the labs.

...she's still working on it.

Alicia and Thomas had been dating for a year now. They went on a date after work one night. It was raining and they were still in their uniforms.

Besides those little details, the night was perfect.

Their stargazing was cut short when Thomas was hit with sudden nausea.

"Hold on, Thomas. Let me take a look."

Turns out it was the hospital cafeteria food that did him in. Thomas thanked Alicia in his own little way.

Alicia had been waiting for the right moment. If she left it up to Thomas, nothing would ever be done.
"Will you marry me?"

"Of course. I'm sorry I didn't ask first. I thought I was too old for that."
"It's ok...and you're not too old"

They ended the night and Alicia was happy to start planning.

It was flu season in Roaring Heights and Alicia was given the duty of doling the shots out.

Elizabeth turned out to be her last patient.

"There! Now was that so bad?"
"No...I guess not"

Alicia figured she might as well brake the news now.
"So..Elizabeth. Your Dad and I decided to get married"

Elizabeth's reaction is my everything.

The months went by and Alicia and Thomas decided a private wedding would do them just fine. With their jobs on the line, it was the only way to keep everyone in the dark (besides Elizabeth of course).

Presenting...Mr and Mrs LeFontaine!

"Come here you~"

They didn't waste any time

The newlyweds went to bed that night with pleasant dreams .
