Karin’s Sims 2 stories

Although Komei’s stay hadn’t been a success, at least it had provided me with enough money to build an addition to the house. It was good to have your own home, built the way you like it. I sat down in the living room, which wasn’t so crampy any more and started to catch up on the newspapers.

Apparently I had missed the news of Jacob and Elise Van ‘t Ent and their temporary break-up. The article told that Elise was living now at the apartments where Abhijeet was living. So when the rumours about her new lover were unfolded, I already had a feeling who that could be. I noticed I felt a bit sorry for Jacob too. He had done his best to provide his family with everything they needed and he was treated like that and left alone.

I hadn’t finished reading all the articles when … speaking of Jacob …. he was standing in front of my door, asking to talk to me. I didn’t want him to come into my house, because it was a bit messy so I spoke to him on the lawn. He told me his side of the story and my heart went out to him. Although he didn’t speak about Elise and her mystery lover, I could see he was hurt and needed comfort. When he was done talking, he seemed more relieved. I said I had to go, because Juliette would come home any time now. I promissed him that he could come back some other time if he wanted to and kissed him just because he seemed so lonely.

The next days he called me sometimes, when Juliette was at school. I listened to his stories and tried to comfort him. I was glad though he didn’t come to my house, because I was feeling rather tired from my pregnancy. The baby could come any day now and I was really wondering how the baby would look like and if he or she would resemble Waylon. One morning, just after Juliette left for school, the labours began. This time all went really quick and before she was home again, little Romeo was born. He had my skin, but black eyebrows and looked as lovely as Juliette.

I received a lot of cards congratulating my on the birth of my son. Some were from men, wondering if they could be the father. I kept that truth for myself though and didn’t even hint at it to Waylon.

Jacob came by to congratulate me in person, but it was clear he was hoping for other ways of comfort for himself. He talked again about his difficulties, his regret about how everything had turned out with Elise and how he missed his daughter. He sometimes spoke to Laura on the phone, but he hadn’t seen her since the evening she left. Although I started to think it was time he needed to take matters in his own hands and start trying to make things right with his family, I could see he really had a difficult time. I decided to give him what he wanted, hoping that it would take some of his stress away.

I took him with me upstairs to my bedroom and drew him towards me. Soon we were kissing and hugging and making out. I could feel his excitement and before long I made WooHoo with him.

The WooHoo actually did him very well, I think, because he didn’t come back for quite some time. Occasionally he called me but he sounded different, not so much playing the victim anymore. I was glad I had helped him out and truly hoped everything would work out between him and his family.

In the meantime I had met another neighbor, Peter. He seemed to me a macho type of man, but without the hint of sophistication that Brandon had shown. As I really enjoy the differences between all the men I meet, I jumped head over heels into this contact with Peter.

One day, we even went to the Mall and had WooHoo in a clothing booth, which excited me more than I can say.

Although we were caught by Abhijeet, who didn’t want to have to do anything with me for quite some time, this WooHoo made me very happy: it fulfilled my want of 10 different WooHoo’s.

All these men couldn’t keep my attentions from little Romeo though. He was as sweet a baby as Juliette had been and nothing in the world could ever make me do something that would hurt him or Juliette.

When Romeo became a toddler, he and Juliette grew very fond of each other too. Because I had made it to the top of my career, I had to work late into the evening. My kids would spend a lot of time together and they really liked to. Of course the nanny was always around to take care of things.

Soon it was time for Juliette to grow up and become a teenager. I have a feeling she will chose her very own way of living her life. Her personality is nothing like mine and she is interested in much more serious kind of things. She also likes to study hard and work on her skills whenever she has a free moment. That’s the reason probably for her lack of friends. She also tries to keep a good relationship with her father. Sheldon however doesn’t like to come over though. He is disappointed that I didn’t marry him or ask him to give me another child I think. For Juliette’s sake I hope that he will come around and she will really have a father.

Romeo doesn’t seem to notice anything that happens. He is more like me, although he is more active and always puts his toys on the same spot. Maybe he will turn out to be the most neat of us Johnsons.

Sheldon insisted on attending Juliette’s birthday, so I invited him. He ws very pleased to see his child grow up to become a teen, although he doesn’t show her much of his feelings. As I expected Juliette chose another aspiration: to make as much money as possible. She was also very determined about going to College and to get a part-time job as soon as possible. Her choice seems a quite boring receipe for life, but maybe it fits with her and her personality. I just wish her all the happiness of the world and as long as she is happy, I will be too.
