Baby Steps - Darius & Maia 1.1

 I wanted to do a chill 100 baby thing so I made this. 

Darius and Maia Goodman were a part of the Baby Steps Foundation, an organization that was dedicated to ensuring the survival of all simdom through reproduction. The two were married and sent off on their mission

The foundation provided them with this home in Willow Creek.

(I got this one from Vixella.)

Despite being an arranged marriage, the couple had great chemistry

Darius got a job as an engineer, which is what he did at BSF

The neighbours arrived and Maia invited them inside

Darius ignored them for the most part

Maia entertained their new neighbours

She hated every second of it

After they left, Maia got a head start on this parenting thing

The couple liked to spend time together and Maia would often eat with Darius in the office

Maia knew if she was going to be a good mother, she'd need to at least learn how to cook a few meals

"This...isn't as hard as I thought"

Darius liked to game and used to do that on his off days at the foundation

"I've made you lunch for your big day tomorrow"

"Thanks, honey"

They christened their new home

Maia's first attempt at breakfast didn't actually go that well

With Darius off at work, Maia got to painting

When he returned, Darius worked on his robotics skill

Later, he spent time with Maia with a game of fooseball

Soon, Maia had great news!

"Darius? Can I bother you for a second?"

"Sure, hun. What's up?"

"I'm pregnant!"

"That's great! I wasn't expecting it to happen so soon"

"I guess we're just really fertile"

"You look lovely this morning"

"What? No I don't but thanks"

Maia was feeling a little run down from her pregnancy and decided a bath would do wonders

"Homemade bootees? I can do that!"

Maia read on the parenting forums that a lot of mothers knitted. 

She thought she'd give it a try

Darius was concerned about Maia. She was tired all the time and was worried if this was normal

Maia assured him that she was fine.

"I'm just a little tired. I have a gynecologist appointment soon and I'm sure everything will be fine"

Darius took it upon himself to take a citrus bath to relax

Maia headed off to her appointment

While she was gone, a freak lightening bolt destroyed their BBQ!

They could afford another but it wasn't as fancy

"Ahh! Stupid wind..."

Summer came over and was having a crisis.

She was having a baby with Don Lothario after all

However, tragedy soon struck.

Maia had a 3rd trimester miscarriage

(So I added a miscarriage mod for spice. I was not expecting the first pregnancy to I played to experience it since I had it set on low. Whoops)

The loss of their unborn child laid heavily on Darius


Maia felt guilty. 

She was supposed to have children and yet this one died

Summer came over to visit, which did more harm than good really

Eventually, they tried again

Maia was sure this one would result in a positive result

She was correct!

They were happy but Darius was reserved.

He hoped it would turn out ok this time

Maia didn't want to forget the baby that never was.

She hung the ultrasound up in their bedroom so that they could remember their daughter.

Bonus Shots:

Someone tell Judith she's a fashion disaster

SIMS NO

The storm also took out the jungle gym

I like to decorate homes with pictures of the family.

Thus, the couple took a selfie for the living room
