Here's chapter 3, I hope you'll enjoy it!
--- CHAPTER 3 --- A Second Chance
Cassandra had recently started a job in science. It didn't pay much but she could afford a small but convenient new home. She told Don about her pregnancy so he could decide for himself if he wanted to play a role in their child’s life. She really never wanted to have to deal with Don again, but for the child’s sake she was willing to make an effort. Initially, Don acted very interested but in the end he never made the made any type of commitment. She knew she was better off without any involvement of Don, but still it hurt when she realized she would have to raise this child all on her own.
Exactly nine months after Cassandra's wedding night, her little one decided it was time to greet the world. It turned out a lovely little girl. She had soft dark tanned skin and beautiful warm brown eyes just like Cassandra. Immediately she fell in love with her little baby girl. When she talked to Delilah she chatted enthusiastically in the usual high pitched voice adults use for little ones.
“You are a precious little one, aren’t you, yes, aren’t you a little sweetie, my little Pookiewookie”
After a few days Cassandra finally decided to name her little girl Delilah, after a legendary temptress and the grandmother of a friend that recently had became more important in her life.
It wasn’t easy for Cassandra, raising a little one and trying to pursue her career in science. But it turned out that she wasn’t on her own after all. Right after she gave birth to Delilah, she got a visit from Darren Dreamer. She had met him on a few occasions before and had felt a strong attraction to this charming and very artistic man. But because she was engaged with Don Lothario at the time, she had kept her distance.
But now there really didn’t have to be any reservations. Cassandra was very careful, she didn’t want to make the same mistakes she made with Don. Besides, her life was just fine now, without the help of any man. But Darren had such a warm personality and his smile just made her feel all fuzzy inside.
It didn’t take long before Cassandra realized Darren was completely different from Don. Deep inside her heart she felt this was him, this was mister right. So Cassandra decided to invite Darren for a nice dinner with macaroni and cheese. She wasn't a great cook, but she knew she could make a pretty decent macaroni and cheese. And one of the few useful things she learned from her mother was that a man's love goes through his stomach. After dinner, she carefully made her move and told Darren that she felt that maybe they could be more than just good friends.
Darren couldn't believe his ears when he heard Cassandra's words. His heart started beating twice the usual rate and his mouth went so dry he couldn't speak. Cassandra feared that she might have made a mistake, but then Darren finally was able to say what he always had wanted say since the day he first met her.
"Cassandra, you don't know how long I have waited for those words. I wanted to give you time to get over Don. But really darling, I would want nothing more than to have you with me for the rest of my life"
Cassandra made the right choice this time. Darren turned out to be a wonderful father for Delilah. When Delilah became a little bit older and Dirk was getting ready for college, they even started thinking about expanding their little family. Cassandra had finally found what she had been looking for, a family of her own.
Back at Goth Manor, Cassandra's father Mortimer, was making the best of his own second chance.
Mortimer really enjoyed family dinners with his new wife. He felt sad that his daughter decided to move out, but he respected her wish. Recently, his new wife had given some hints about wanting a baby too. He really didn't feel the need for another child. He was getting older and he already had two wonderful children. But Dina knew that having a child with Mortimer would be her best insurance for a big portion of the inheritance. So she pushed and pushed further until in the end he couldn't do anything else but give in.
After several tries for a baby, Dina finally got her wish. Even though Mortimer still had his doubts about being a father at his age, he was thrilled when Dina turned out to be pregnant. He knew he wasn't the best husband and parent he could have been in his marriage with Bella. His job always came first for a very long time. But now he had earned his dues and had a comfortable pension. This would be his second chance and he would grab it with both hands.
Alexander didn't understand what his father saw in Dina. Ever since she got into their lives, things had gotten worse not better. First his mother, Bella, disappeared and then his sister left her husband and their family home. If this was true love, then he wouldn't have any of it. He couldn't wait until college. Finally he could start his dream and to become a man of science. He would show them all what he would be capable of.
Will Mortimer get a second chance with a new family or is he just messing up the one he already has? Can Cassandra hang on to her happiness or will her past come back with a vengeance. And can Alexander keep his sanity at Sim State University?
