Lol! I had a BLAST doing this part. Then halfway through, I forgot Don was engaged to Cassandra (darn maxis families), so I had to make him un-engaged. Lilith and Cassandra ended up getting into a fight and Lilith won!
babyblueheart:
Haha!!!! :laugh: That is too funny!!!!!!!!!
xgreydovex:
AWESOME update :D i hope that Lilith can get over her aversion to intamacy, Don seems good for her.
thats hilarious about Lilith kicking Cassandras butt.
babyblue1387:
Ok, lovelies, here's the deal. I'm on spring break, so I hope to finish the story this week. On the down side, my computer tends to be running kinda hot, so I make no promises. I'm going to try a couple things and see if that doesn't help a bit. Hopefully, I can get an update in today before it 'splodes.
EDIT: My computer is working much better, so expect an update tomorrow. An update for Kokoro and Kimora is in the works. Kimora just had her second child, a girl named Vara, and she's adorable! Pics to come of Lucien, who grew up, and Dionus, when he becomes a teen!

One tiny little update to be posted tomorrow, and that will be the end of this episode. Thanks to all who tuned in. I've really fallen in love with Lilith and Don (after swearing I'd never play maxis sims). Would have finished today, except I've had the sims running all day, and my poor computer needed a break.
------------------------------------------
I spent the next few weeks thinking about everything Don had said to me. I tried not to let my depression effect my girls, but I know it still did. They were wonderful though. They knew I needed time to think and allowed me that time. They didn't even complain when I nearly burned dinner.
After about a month, I was satisfied that I'd answered all of Don's questions. When I saw him in the hallway, I asked if we could meet a little later after work. He agreed to meet me at a small cafe, but only reluctantly.
That night at the cafe, I told Don about my relationship with my parents, with Angela, with Dirk, how Addison was born, how my parents were disgusted with me, how I got pregnant again, how Angela lied to Dirk, how I was kicked out of the house, how I came to live at the group home... By the time I was done, I was near tears. I realized then that I had never told anyone about my life. I'd thought about it and cried for my daughters and my love for them, I've though and cried about being poor. I was shaking so bad that I didn't realize that Don was holding me.
He took me back to his apartment and held me as I cried. He kissed my forehead and held me until I fell asleep.
When I woke up, I was in Don's bed. My heart beat quickly for a moment, wondering if I had done anything, if he had done anything to me. I took a deep breath and remembered that Don wasn't like that. I had hurt him, but I knew in my heart of hearts he would never hurt me intentionally. I went downstairs to find him. He was in the kitchen cooking dinner.
"My girls--"
"Don't worry, they're fine. I called the babysitter."
"I can't afford--"
"I'll pay for it. I want you to stay for a little longer. I wanted to apologize. I didn't think... I just blew up. You made me feel things I thought didn't exist. I thought you were rejecting me. I mean you were, but not...really?"
We talked for hours. He told me about his past lovers, we talked about our future, about our dreams...
By the time I went home, I had the euphoric feeling back. It was almost like walking on air. My girls knew instantly that I had settled the things that were bothering me.
"You're happy, mommy."
I only smiled. Everything seemed to be going well. From that moment on, Don and I became closer.
I was finally able to give myself to Don and learned two very important things: 1)I won't get pregnant every time. Until then, I'd gotten pregnant both times I'd been with Dirk. 2)WOW:wink:! Love is DEFINATELY a powerful emotion. I felt like I was on fire. Had this been what I was missing my entire life? What I'd felt, or thought I felt, toward Dirk was NOTHING like this feeling!
Don and I were thoroughly in love, and celebrating our third anniversary when our relationship got a little complicated. I wasn't feeling too well, but I chalked that up to the champaign and being with Don. My stomach always felt funny when I was around him.
A week later I was still feeling funny. Then I found out the news: I was pregnant. I hadn't felt funny with my first two pregnancies. Other than the drama caused by my family, they were smooth and uneventful. Now, panick filled my mind. Would Don leave me? I couldn't stop thinking about our age difference. He was 35 and I was 24. 11 years can be a long time. ADDISON was almost 11 years old. Why the heck would Don stay with me?
It took my daughters, now 10 and 6, to calm me down before I even considered talking to Don. They didn't know why I was crying, but they were there for me all the same.
"Don, there's something I really need to talk to you about."
"What's the matter? Is everything ok?"
"Don...Don I'm..."
I touched my belly, overwhelmed. Tears welled in my eyes.
"Lilith..."
He stared at me, and in my mind, I knew he'd leave. I knew my illusion of happiness was over. But then he did something that surprised me. Still somewhat surprises me to this day, when I think about it. He smiled.
"Lilith...a baby, OUR baby! Oh no, please don't cry! It's wonderful!"
I couldn't believe my ears. The relief was enormous.
Thanks to Don, the next 9 months went smoothly. It was my first happy pregnancy. Don was even talking about buying a bigger house since he was no longer a bachelor. I felt that I truly belonged. I was almost ready to track down my family and shove my happy life in their faces. Don even told me to quit my job because I needed the time to take care of myself and OUR baby. Not my baby, but OUR baby. I happlily left my job and realized how much I really missed spending time with my girls. For once, I was proud to look at my pregnant belly in the mirror. I AM beautiful.
To celebrate, Don wanted to do some special photos to document this wonderful time in our lives: pregnancy photos! An expecting mother's magazine even picked up the photos to use on the front page! I should have known something else was up when Addy and Bailey couldn't stop giggling. After a group photo, Don surprised me, I mean REALLY surprised me...
BY PROPOSING!!!! I think I nearly fainted. The girls squealed with delight. They just loved Don so much. And of course I accepted. How could I not? At 24, my life was finally shaping up in my favor.
