Wandering Aimlessly

I did a little experiment. You see, Sim!Kate and Sim!David had a baby, Joshua. But at the same time, Sim!Kate was in love with Sim!JC. Shelley begged me and begged me to see if it was possible for Kate and Joshua to move in with JC if he proposed. And I have to admit, I was a tad bit curious. So I set it all up. JC was happy on all measures. He invited Kate and Joshua over, proposed... she turned him down. Ha! Lol. He's a persistent fellow, though, so he tried again a few days later. The second time, she accepted. Sadly, Joshua did not make the move with her. =(

So Kate's got a son she rarely sees. <.sigh> She has started her happy little life with JC, and worked up enough family friends while he was slaving away at work as a backup musician for him to get a promotion to studio musician.

But not before they had a baby. He got home from work and was standing out in the street and she went out to give him a welcome home kiss. Woops! Right there, in the middle of the street, a baby was born. Not technically in the street... the bassinet ended up on the sidewalk. No prob. I started putting all the necessary items into a room so that our dear Sims could nurture Scott (okay, I had to think FAST or else the computer names it "Sim Child Chasez," so we have a theme going), and when I went to move his bed into the room... no can do. Since he was born on the sidewalk, which is not their property, he could not be moved.

That posed a bit of a problem. I had to build a room outside the house, as near the baby as possible, with all things necessary to survive (microwave, shower, toilet, sink, doll house, couches, fridge, etc). Poor JC was working 11 am - 9 pm, so he really was no help in caring for Scott. So Kate was running herself ragged trying to care for herself and the baby. In the middle of it all, JC was promoted and now only works 11-6. Good deal. And little Scotty as grown into a Harry Potter look-alike. Lol. Wizard cape and all! (He's changing clothes as soon as he gets a dresser.)

Now all we need to do is figure out how to get Joshua to move in with his mom. I miss him! He's a cutie pie.
