Heaton Family Legacy - Maura 1.10

~Warning Contains Nude Butt~

Brandon had the day off and was put right to work.
"Alright, Paul. I'm here"

"There you go, little man"

"This is how you cook, Paul. I'll teach you properly when you're bigger"

The only thing left to do was teach Paul how to use the toilet.
"Ok, Buddy. You can do this"

After Paul was out down for his nap, nothing decided to go right.

There was no food in the house so Maura got straight to work.

A promotion happened and Branden is the Governor of Starlight Shores now.

Maura found some time for herself and decided to paint
(Or I really needed to finish Maura's grave portrait)

She also thought she'd work on her figure.
"After 3 kids, I'm not going to be out of shape"

"Good night, Paul"

Maura was concerned about Olivia. She had not called or written since she left for Boarding School. Maura had tried on multiple occasions to call her but she never did get a hold of her.
'I hope she's alright'

"But why..."

Brandon's ex-wife, Stardust, has been sending him love letters lately. They had gotten divorced years ago. He was a little concerned about this turn of events.

It was time for the annual campaign party.
Between the two of them, it was a success!

Maribel took off to prom.

Brandon was always so happy to see August. She was the only one of his other children that still wanted to see him.

Well look who decided to age up as the party was still going on.

He really didn't age well.

Brandon immediately retired.

Maura was very happy for him.

Brandon had to use a cane now.
"Those stairs won't be easy..."

"Oh not again..."

"Hold on Paul. I'm coming"

"Ok, Paul. Time to eat"

Paul seems concerned about his dad's wrinkles.

When it's time to eat, it's time to eat.
"Papa!"

Brandon decided to work hard at his body. He didn't want to be decrepit in his age.
"1,2,3...1,2,3"

While Brandon worked on himself, Paul tried his best with the peg box.

Maribel had come home from work to be asked out on a date by her classmate, Toby.

"Oh Indi. Let's give you a bath"

Maribel snuck out to see Toby at one of the parks.

They chatted under the stars and realized they had a bit in common.

'I can't believe he asked me out. Toby is so cute'

"I should probably go home before my parents realize I'm gone."
"I'd like to see you again, Maribel."
"Me too, Toby"

Maribel went home with a smile on her face.

Sure she didn't win prom queen but now a cute boy wanted to date her.
Things were looking great.

Bonus Shots:
Paul may look like Brandon when he grows up.

Paul is cute

This picture is everything

Prom Shenanigans:
Maribel was rejected for a dance. :(

I don't think that's how you wash a dog

Fun Fact: I feel like Paul's been a toddler forever.

Heaton Family Legacy - Maura 1.9

Life was pretty idyllic in the Heaton household. Maura had decided to teach Indi some tricks.

The family actually had dinner together (sans Maura). It was a rare occurrence.

"Good boy, Indi!"

"You get a treat for such a good job"

Olivia was an odd one. She was staying strange things and Maura was worried about what Paul would pick up.

She was constantly sprouting all kinds of tails and Maura wondered what was real and what wasn't.

Paul seemed to be ok and wasn't acting strange.
'It's a good thing he can't talk'

Even Indi knew something was up.
"Stop barking at me, Indi! Geez..."

Olivia had been writing things on the school forum and it wasn't nice.

Brandon had been getting calls from the principal. This was not good...

"What in world are we going to do about that girl?"

After the children went to bed, Maura and Brandon had a midnight meeting.

"Brandon, what are we going to do about Olivia?"

"I had to meet with her teacher and heard some horrible things. She's been writing on the school forum and offending everyone in sight. I just don't know what to do!"

"I know, I know. I've been talking to the principal and he recommended a special school for kids with behavioral problems"

"A Boarding school?"
"Yea, it might help her. Besides, I went to boarding school and I turned out fine."

"She'll be ok. I'll take care of everything. It's only for elementary school and she'll be back before you know it"
"I hope you're right."

Olivia, who had gotten up to use the bathroom, had no idea what was about to fall upon her.

Maura hugged Brandon once more.
'I hope she doesn't hate us'

As promised, Brandon called the school.

"Now you look after my daughter. I'm the mayor Starlight Shores and I have the facilities to end you"

It was done. Olivia started on Monday.

In other news, Honey had fleas.

Maura headed upstairs to tell Olivia the news.
'I'm sure this won't end well.'

"Olivia? We need to talk for a second"

"Is this about the toilet? Because it wasn't me, I swear!"

"No, honey. Your father and I decided that you're going to attend a school out of town. It should be a lot of fun"

"What!? I don't want to go to any stupid school!"

Maura wasn't prepared for such an outburst. She had never seen Olivia so angry before.

"Calm down, Olivia. It'll only be until Junior high."
"NO! You'll regret it if you make me, I swear!"

Maura decided to leave Olivia to some alone time to cool down. The whole situation was scary beyond belief. She had never thought she'd be scared of her own daughter.

Maura put on a smile, despite Olivia staring daggers at her. She didn't want to scare Paul.

Paul had been crying from all the screeching.
"It's ok, Paul. All that is over now"

Maura had brought Paul down and locked herself in the bathroom.
Brandon couldn't believe all the yelling he had heard. He never knew Olivia could be like that.
It just proved that they had made the right choice.

Maribel wasn't unaffected. She had been painting her stress away.

By dinner time, Olivia had calmed down but kept staring at Paul.
Maura was concerned.

Soon enough, Monday came and Maura already felt older.

Maura couldn't stay to see her off and neither could Brandon. There was an election that required their presence and, with the way Olivia had been acting, thought it was better this way.

Olivia's ride came soon after and she reluctantly ran out to meet it.

Brandon made sure Olivia would be comfortable on her journey.
There was enough movies and snacks to last a trip to Champs Le Sims.

The house was eerily quiet after Olivia was gone. The only sound was Paul's cries.

"Mommy would be very sad if you became a criminal, Paul"

"You could be an actor though!"

Maribel spent sometime in Olivia's room. It was rather sad, really.

But Maribel had bigger problems. Prom was on the horizon and she wasn't going without a date.
