Hello one and all! :blob6:

The other day I was idly surfing the web, looking for nothing in particular and I came across the legacy website.  I've seen it before, naturally but on that day it was particularly interesting.  Seeing that I had just cleaned out my download folder I thought it was a perfect time to give it a go. :angel:  One of the handicaps was to write the story as it goes.  Posting it here seemed the right choice because it's not like I'm going to upload it to the exchange.  It's just a bit fluff, you understand.

Following the rules, I have absolutely no mods installed in my game and will only be using Maxis furnishings.  I also will not manipulate anything into happening in the course of this.  Just happily go where the game wishes to go.  I decided when taking my pictures not to worry so much about the sky, thought bubbles, and the plumbob or what it's called.  This is after all a sim game and nothing wrong with showing those from time to time I don't think.

So I hope you enjoy.  Oh and one more disclaimer.  The founder and main sim of this legacy was not made by me.  The talented Liv created him and I won him in a contest. :)  I changed nothing about him except for his hair.

Chapter One

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/1.jpg)

Introducing Owen and Scamp.  Owen is a fortune sim with a secondary aspiration of knowledge.  Scamp is a hyperactive dingbat of a doggy with the aspiration to one day rule the world.  So this is where we start.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/2.jpg)

Hello there.  My name is Owen.  This is my family tree.  An orange tree.  Um, I don't have much else to say.  I just moved in here and I'm hoping to make a successful life.  See my shirt.  Knight and shinning armour?  That's what I am, now I just have to wait for the ladies to realize it.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/3.jpg)

Dig, dig, yay.  Ohhh dig, dig, dig.  I's like to dig.  Make my home underground.  Be an underground doggy.  Yeah yeah.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/4.jpg)

Now Scramp we just got here, we don't want to leave a bad impression.  I'm counting on you to help my score with the chicks, remember.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/5.jpg)

Oh that's a good boy.  He's a good boy.  We are going to do great together.  I just know it!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/7.jpg)

Amazing I have just been here five minutes and already ladies are stopping by my house.  I knew I was a stud!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/6.jpg)

On the other hand, what is with the modest threads?  Why hide a beautiful body.  If you've got it, show it off.  That's what I always say.  She is probably going to hand me a religious pamphlets any moment now.   Maybe I should watch myself before greeting random strangers.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/12.jpg)

Or maybe not.  Another five minutes passed and now my house is full of strangers.  Now I am going to have so many best friends!  I rule, completely.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/13.jpg)

Hey there you.  Now this is the kind of outfit I like.  The non outfit, actually.  I think everyone should walk around wearing see-through shirts, don't you?  Especially girls like you that wear see-through shirts and red bras.  Hubba, hubba.

See Through Shirt Girl: Oh I like your voice.  If only I don't have to open my eyes and look at you.  You or this hideously ugly blue room.  Than I'm all good.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/10.jpg)

See Through Shirt Girl: Wow, that guy over there is wearing a long black trench coat.  There couldn't possibly be anything creepier then wearing so much leather on such a hot day in doors.  Maybe he would like to go out sometime.

Own: Well back to the drawing board for me.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/CreepyDude.jpg)

Creepy Black Trench Coat Guy:  Hey boy want to play! *guttural laugh*

Scamp: ... Um, really not so much ...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/11.jpg)

I'm just going to sit here hold my sandwich pretending to eat. You can eat that's fine.  I'm just going to sit here and look at your shirt, err sports bra, uh never mind.  Actually I'm not going to look anywhere at all.  That's the ticket.  Tasty boo ... oh I mean lunch meat, yeah just lunch meat.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/15.jpg)

Chew, chew. Bite, bite, gnaw, gnaw.  Mmmm, yummy couch tastes good!  Silly humans, silly human dating.  Nothing is better than tasty couch.  Yum!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/16.jpg)

First day successfully done and no one died!  Always a bonus.  I think this legacy thing just might work out. :D

LOL I love Owen, trying to get the 'ladies' :laugh:. This is very entertaining. Nice job! :D

Very cute!  I really love reading legacy stories.  And I did much the same with mine, leaving headlines and plumbbobs in - and not too concerned about the sky.  Mine is more about fun than trying to get everything right - it's more fun that way.  I like this so far - looks like our founder has a rather one track mind, eh?  Looking forward to more.

Thank you so much for the comments Squirt and Astral! I'm glad you find it enjoyable! :D  I completely agree with you Astral.  When I'm doing contests I spend up to hours getting the shot perfect.  It's nice to just relax and get away from that for a little bit sometimes.

Chapter 2

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/21.jpg)

So I woke up this morning to a brand new day and guess what!  There were oranges already on the orange tree.  I couldn't believe it, sprouting fruit already, even though there were not even flowers yesterday...  Good karma, that's what this is, so a sign of doom either one.  I decided to sell the fruit because I can't afford a juicer.  Actually I have no money at all.  Only one solution for that...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/18.jpg)

Get a job!  I am a fortune sim after all and it's all about the bottom line.  I took the first one that I saw.  Test Subject.  I'm such an awesome specimen of manhood I don't blame them for waiting for wanting to study me closer.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/20.jpg)

Yay a got a new bed!  A little bit of stencilling, some carving.  Makes the ladies more relaxed and comfortable knowing that I have a sensitive side you know.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/19.jpg)

Num num.  Hmm, new bone is so much better than couch.  Ohh, so good.  This is a dogs life a perfect life.  Doesn't get any better than this!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/22.jpg)

Wait I was wrong! Actually it does get better than that.  Ah, just relax and let it flow.  Such a good feeling, I think I'll do a little dance.  Dance, dance.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/23.jpg)

Hello my name is Scramp and this is my piece of modern art.  I deep and meaningfully call it "Pee on the Floor."  It perfectly illustrates in it's wet charm the constriction that society oppresses upon our natural and free habits.  Here now!  I call for freedom, freedom for all!  Most especially for cute innocent doggies that want to pee in the house, of course.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/24.jpg)

Puddle?  What puddle?  Oh that puddle, I didn't even see it. ... Wait, you ... you think I did that ... Me?  I ... I am shocked ... shocked and hurt.  How could you think such a thing ... I am being falsely accused.  ... I I just don't even have words right now ... Excuse me, I think I need a moment alone.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/25.jpg)

You know, no matter how many sad faces you place, you really are not fooling anyone.  Silly dog.  I shouldn't be mopping this up, I should be out meeting chicks!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/26.jpg)

See Through Shirt Girl:  Hi!  I just happened to me in the neighbourhood and so I decided to stop by your house and than walk in without even knocking.  

Owen: Ah that's great?  Can I touch your boob?  

STSG: Sure!

Scamp: Hi, my name is Scamp.  Did you know that I pee'd on the floor and totally got away with it?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/29.jpg)

STSG: Wow, he actually fixed me dinner.  We are so boyfriend and girlfriend now.  When are we going to get married?

Owen: Um, I'm not sure if I really like where this is going ...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/27.jpg)

STSG: Oh Owen I love you so much.  I'm going to practice breaking and entering on your house everyday for the rest of my life.

Owen: Oh that's just wonderful news ...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/30.jpg)

Oh boy another masterpiece!  I'll call this one, Scamp's wonderful reflection!  Just the right glimmer of excellence.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/31.jpg)

Oh I totally did it!  It was me me me!  Yay!  Run away, far away!  Run, run, run.  Silly humans.  Yay freedom for dogs everywhere!  Yay!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/32.jpg)

The next day after work a woman hitched a ride with me.  From the way she got out of car made me think maybe she had something on her mind.  Something I certainly would not object to, even though I normally don't go for the stuffy office types.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/33.jpg)

But then ... but then she beat me at chess!  How could she beat me at chess?  Gaming is my passion!  Well next to getting monies and finding beautiful ladies.  Which this one isn't, nope not at all.  Ouch, hurting my pride like that.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/34.jpg)

Hi I'm Scamp!  I advocate freedom for dogs everyone.  Would you like to sign my petition?

Heheh. I like how you get inside the dogs' head as well. Hmm, yes contests... I worked pretty hard on my round for Model swap but I am really anxious about eliminations... :smt120 But I'm going off topic! All these legacy stories are tempting me to start one.. But I don't have the commitment to keep it up - I get bored really quickly! :lol:

:D And yay for fast updates.

Scamp Rocks!

OMG - this is so hilarious!  'Can I touch your boob?' LOL!!  And Scamp is cracking me up with his masterpieces and doggie rights petitions.  Great pictures!  Nice work.  I spent a little time with one of the cats in the next generation of Avalon - caught some pretty cute stuff.  It was the most fun I'd had in my legacy yet, watching that cat.  Sometimes animals have their own personality, even sim pets!  The facial expressions are so funny.

LOL Scamp is a riot :laughing: I love your sense of humour :D

Yes, yes.  Our plan is going well!  Taking over the story forum with legacies!!  Mewhahahahahahahaaaa!
By the way, I would so buy Scamp's artwork! lol  Love it!

Very well indeed... there's gonna be another one up before long! :twisted: Another different spin on it, hope it reads as well as these others.

Thank you everyone!  I'm so happy you all like Scamp.  I have never had so much trouble house training a sim dog.  Even after he was supposedly all green in that area, he still went in the house!  So I figure he much be proud of himself for doing it. ;)

Can't wait to read yours Sadie.  Your creative spins are always wonderful to see!

I should have the next chapter or two up sometime tomorrow. :)

I really like you're legacy! Scamp is awesome,I love him & his masterpieces! Owen is a total player for a fortune sim! Definetly looking forward to updates! :)

So I said three days ago that I would have an update by now.  I feel bad, I'm so sorry.  I am really trying to make a commitment to this.  Weekends are unpredictable though, you never know.  :(

Thank you Cava!  :D  

Chapter Three

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/35.jpg)

I am so happy to report that I finally had the money to upgrade the place a bit.  Yes I added some nice neutral wallpaper and a nice carpet.  Even put a picture up of my ideal future someday.  You see me here going through the classifieds looking for that special lady who isn't the stalker type.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/36.jpg)

Speaking of which.  Look who walked in as easy as you please and plopped herself down at my chess board once more.  At least she changed up her outfit a bit, I'll give her that.  The whole we are just friends talk seemed to go right over her head.  Like talking to a wall.  If a wall just started back with blank nonsensical adoration that is.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/37.jpg)

Do not sleep.  Never sleep.  For when you do, my revenge shall be swift and true.  Soon I will have an army and I shall rule this home.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/39.jpg)

The classifieds got me nowhere.  So the only sensible thing to do was to go where the ladies are.  Now if I know anything about women, it's that they like to dress nice and pretty for me.  So of course I headed myself over to the flipping flock.  Took a nice long look around, plenty of lovelies to choose from.  Now to turn on the charm.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/41.jpg)

Owen: Hey baby, is that a mirror in your pocket? Because I can see myself in your pants.

*PUNCH*

Random Victim: ... Take one step closer and I'm calling the police

I'll take that as a no.  Ow, my nose hurts where she punched me.  Better try a more subtle approach next time.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/42.jpg)

Owen: Hey there.  I know that milk dose the body good, but wow, how much you been drinking?

Lakeshia: Oh my God, you are so funny!  What's your name?

Owen: Owen my dear lady.

Lakeshia's friend:  I'd be careful girl, he looks like he's capable of pretty much anything and can you say cheesy?

Lakeshia: Oh but he's cute.

Owen: Now that is speaking my language!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/43.jpg)

Owen: Oh dear, It seems I lost my phone number, can I borrow yours?

Lakeshia: You can if you promise to keep it safe.

Owen: I'll keep it right here in my shirt, close to my heart.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/43a.jpg)

Owen: Oh baby I hate for you to leave, but I love to see you go!

Success!  Easier then I thought it was.  She's so smart and laughs at my jokes, I can really see something coming out of this.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/44.jpg)

Did you stop by because you heard about my petition?  What?  You want cat rights?  That's the silliest thing I've ever heard.  Why would cats need rights.

*see extended claws.*

Oh, is that why?  When you put it that way, it because so much more clear.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/46.jpg)

One thing that's important about being a campaigner is getting out into the real world on doing your thing.  So I got a job in service.  Not so bad, because little do they know in the end they will end up serving me!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/47.jpg)

Successful first day!  I rounded up some warmrats, and got a promotion.  Yeah they see that the Scampmister going places and showing little rodents who is boss.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/48.jpg)

He did it again, on my brand new carpet!  No matter what I do, it always comes to this.  If only I could see into his brain then I might know.  That's it.  I've got to think like a dog, be the dog Owen, think like a dog.  What could he want?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/49.jpg)

Owen: Hello there.  Pleased to meet you.  My name is Owen and I hope we can be friends.

Scamp: Now would you look at this.  I'm finally getting some respect around here!  Yay my petition is clearly working.  Pleased to meet you right back, my name is Scamp.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/50.jpg)

Silly humans, so pleased at the most simple things.  Still it's nice sometimes to manipulate a bit.  Maybe I and this human can be friends after all.  Can't neglect my art though.  So many things left to create, what could be next I wonder.

:laugh: OMG, those pick-up lines! I wouldn't go for any of them :P Still, at least he's found a potential partner to breed with. That's if he can cope with the babies... hehehehehe :twisted:

And Scamp continues to bring a chuckle. Love the bit in the bath :D

OMG!  "Do you have a mirror in your pocket?  Because I can see myself in your pants!"  That is hilarious! :rofl:
I particularly like "I lost my phone number, can I have yours?"

That's the one that got me, too - the mirror one!  LOL  - too funny.  Good ol' Scamp - finally getting what he deserves.  Adorable update!

Love Owen's pick-up lines! I absolutely love Scamp he's like the dog version of Stewie Griffin!

How in the heck did he pick anyone up with those lines??? :laughing:

Well, steelguy said it. Who goes for those pick-up lines? hehehe. I love Scamp - I always love the evil ones. :-P

Wow, thank you everyone for the wonderful response!  It makes me feel so good to know that people are reading my story. :D  I have had the milk and the phone number pick-up line used on me.  They worked probably as good as you suspect they would. ;)  Still they were memorable, so I guess that is saying something for those guys.  The mirror pick-up line was an edit because I was afraid the original one I had down would get me kick off this site.  :smt106

I am so far behind on my story.  I have over 180 pictures to put up.  So I'm going to try to get at least a few chapters up over the next couple of days.  I hope I can keep that promise, eeep!  :punch:  So here we go!

Chapter 4

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/51.jpg)

Hee hee hee ho ho ho.  I'm an evil burglar and because this house has no alarm it can all be mine.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/52.jpg)

What's this?  A picture showing this poor git's hopes and dreams?  Mine it's all mine!  I steal hopes and dreams and put them in a tight box where they will never see the sun! *crazy laughter as she leaves in a swirl of red smoke.*

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/53.jpg)

Owen: I took to long to get up!  Sneaky theft.  I must paint my sorrows, put down my anguish in an art form, then I can be freed.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/54.jpg)

Oh it's not working!  I've been stolen from, been laid bear.  Well I am hot in my sexy new underwear. ... No even that is not helping!  How can I go on without my tiny little picture, that had slightly naff animated moving water, how??

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/55.jpg)

Woof!  Woof!  Scamp to the rescue!  I'll get her!  Tear her down to size I will!  She doesn't stand a chance next to all mighty Scamp!  

Wait ... which way did she go?  ... Hmm, it is a bit cold out here ...  What was that noise?  Maybe ... maybe she'll come back. Yeah that's right she'll come back and when she does all mighty Scamp will teach some manners!  Certainly will.  Time for bed.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/56a.jpg)

Once again as hot as I am, which I am by the way don't you think.  Yeah you do.  Don't try to hide it, I know you do.  I am going to be spending my night with a dog.  This can't go on forever, can it?  Time to take it up a notch.  Who was that girl who liked my lines?  Oh yes Lakeshia.  Time to give her a call.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/58.jpg)

Ladies love museums and I love ladies.  Seems like a match made in heaven.  I even got a new suit for the occasion.  Yes I will stupefy her with the amazing amount of culture coming out of my every pore.  ... What's wrong with my hair?  I like it this way.  Oh look let's just get back to the story, shall we?   Sweetly it started to snow as she swayed in my arms.  A clear sign that her cold heart could become warm... I am not grasping at straws!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/59.jpg)

Aww, first kisses so romantic.  What do you mean it doesn't look romantic?  She loved it!  She was so into me, when I suggested that she come back to my place, she accepted right away.  Yep Owen is the man all the way!  What could go wrong?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/60.jpg)

When we got back I changed back into my pants and sat down on the bed to wait.  My new bed I should mention.  Did a complete bedroom makeover just to mark this blessed occasion of goodbye to my virginity.  Naturally she would just fall into my lab.  For after all, who could resist me?  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/61.jpg)

Lakeshia as it turned out.

Owen: But baby I thought we had something special going on.

Lakeshia:  Down boy down.  Time to get a deep breath and relax.  And oh, can you say plumbers crack?  I sure can.

Major burn!  Ouch I'm still smoking from that.  Maybe there is more to romance then I thought there was ... But that would mean I was wrong!  How could I be wrong?  Great now I have a shattered world to worry about as well as my broken pride ... Ouch.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/63.jpg)

So yes here I am once again sleep with only my dog.  Talk about total humiliation! How am I suppose to recover from this?  I can't believe that a lady would be turned off from a guy wanting nothing else but sex on the first date. ... Well maybe I can believe it ... I just hope I get another chance.  She really is something special.

Lol.  He'll get her next time!  ;)
Loved it! :D

Thanks Medagic! :D  I was a bit surprised when that happened because I've never had a sim reject like that before.  Still it's good for the story!  Teaches Owen a lesson or two as well.

Chapter 5

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/62.jpg)

Well Scamp it looks like you and me pal!  Bachelorhood forever, brothers unite!

Scamp: (in doggy talk) Works for me! And may I say, you look most fetching in your new outfit.

Owen: It's so strange.  Sometimes I swear he understands every word I say.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/64.jpg)

Just when I thought hope was all lost for me and my future legacy guess who stopped by one night?  Amazingly it was Lakeshia!  She didn't say a single word, just started tickling me in my pyjamas there on the lawn.  If that wasn't a come on, then I didn't know what was.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/67.jpg)

This time I played it cool.  Let her take the lead and made the wise decision to leave my clothes on.  Keep it smooth Owen and remember all ladies just want respect.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/68.jpg)

Did it work?  Being that we were both randy at that point, you bet your sweet bippy it did!  Nothing like a good old fashioned romp under the sheets.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/69.jpg)

When I hesitatingly asked her afterwards to move, she surprisingly accepted.  It seems my bachelor time is over, moving onward and upward and you know what?  I'm glad.

Lakeshia's thought process: Well I did sleep with him....

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/70.jpg)

Oh ugg  something I ate I suppose.  I've been feeling queasy all day.  Losing huge amounts of water from my chest and neck must mean that I just sprang a leak.  That's all surely.  I can't be pregnant, or surely not.  I just moved into this house yesterday!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/71.jpg)

I got myself together enough to get a quick makeover.  I've never really liked my small features, but the hairstylist assured me that this cut frames my face perfectly!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/72.jpg)

I heard Owen in the front yard returning from his job as a Science Teacher and I slipped into something a lot less comfortable to surprise him.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/73.jpg)

Lakeshia: Surprise!  I got it today!  What do you think?

Owen: *breaking into song*  Your beauty is that of a thousand suuuunssss!  Your love makes me the only oooonnneeee!  Time it seems it has just beguuun!  You are sure a lot of fuuunnnn!  I can't think of anything else that rhythms with sunnnn!

Lakeshia:  You big goof.  I think I get the point.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/73a.jpg)

We sat down to a chef salad meal that I had prepared.  Cooking is after all my passion and I was happy to do it.

Lakeshia:  You know what I saw today?  I giant spherical shaped blimp.  And do you know what I thought of?  You.  Hint Hint ...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/74.jpg)

So that did it.  Any woman that would bring such high prize to the warrior of my pants is undoubtedly the one.  Only slightly shy I brought out what I had picked up that day.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/75.jpg)

Lakeshia: Oh my god, oh my god!  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/76.jpg)

Lakeshia: Yay it's all sparkly and two carats!  I'm sold!  Oh this is so wonderful.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/77.jpg)

Owen: A half naked woman that likes to cook is sitting at my table.  This might be the happiest day of my life.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/78.jpg)

Here we are, the happy family.  I hope I made the right choice.  She does seem easily amused by a book on cleaning.  I suppose I just wait and see.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/79.jpg)

Scamp: There we are.  Creating artwork on the front lawn where it can be seen by all!  Very artistic Scamp and good choice.  Besides that new human in the house asked very nicely.  Maybe she'll stick around.  Nothing wrong with a bit of kissing up, works wonders for my food dish.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/80.jpg)

Kicked out of the bed was not the most fun, but I have a new one.  A little lonely though.  I might have to do something about that soon.

OMG - Girl, you have me cackling like the Wicked Witch, I was laughing so hard during these two chapters!  Plumber's Crack  LOL - that one got me good.  And 'sprang a leak', ha ha ha!  Oh man, what a way to wake up in the morning.  I like the scene where Owen is looking at her thinking how lucky he is because a half naked girl who likes to cook is sitting at his table.  This is a fantastic legacy so far - you're doing such a good job injecting tons of humor in it.  I cannot wait to read more, so hurry up, lol!  Oh, and don't worry about your screenshots getting ahead of your chapters - mine are, too.  I went through a phase where I just wanted to play, play, play and not work on the story - and I'm still many chapters ahead picturewise than my story.  I just group them in folders of about 50 pics or so, and label them with the chapter they're going to be, then work on the writing when I get around to it.

Ditto.  Total total ditto.  Lol
Oh, I hope Scamp gets a mate, it'll be funny to see how he deals with romance!  Hopefully better than Owen, lol! :rofl: :lol:
And don't worry about the pictures.  I have a zillion pictures I have yet to use.  I make folders of pictures like Astral Faery too. I have the whole legacy in a file and inside that are files labeled whatever chapter and they have the chapter's pictures inside.

OMG!!!!!

:lol: :rofl: :laugh: :rofl: :lol:

THAT was SIM-ply hillllaaaaaaaaaariooooooooouuussssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh dear me- I needed a good read and a laugh!  Oh my... whew... catching my breath.... whoa... my sides hurt from laughing so much! :D

Gotta subscribe to this one- and that's saying something- I usually avoid these threads because with my slow dial up all I ever get are those little red "x" boxes and no pictures.

I'll have you know I took time to click on every "x" box one at a time, hit show picture, wait for it to load, then go back and read the story.

Totally worth it! :thumbup:

Can't wait to see what happens next!!!! :)

^lol danceswithstands!
:laugh: Ditto on the half naked woman bit! I laughed my a$$ off in those last two chapters!

That whole thing with the half naked woman... totally made me think of my hubby... he is SUCH an OWEN... :laugh:

Yep--- and that dog--- OMGOSH could it be any funnier???

I can't wait to see the next part of this one! :blob:

HURRY!! I love Scamp... so cute... but evil... like me... or Happy Bunny.

Luvvin his underwear. XD
God, I love legacies. You're one of the writers that has inspired may to make my own..

Thanks. (luvin scamp)

First off I would like to say that you all are wonderful.  :worship:  Thank you so much for the kind comments and I'm glad I could amuse you.  The second thing is to beg for your forgiveness for not updating for over a week.  It's been crazy and trying to take on two contests at once was a huge mistake on my part.  

Thank you for your patience, and here we go again.

Chapter 6

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/81.jpg)

POP!  Lakeshia: Oh my word.  Either that bad salmon I had last night is doing a dance in my tummy or something else is going on!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/83.jpg)

Double POP!  Oh for heaven sakes, maybe I just ate to much popcorn.  This is happening so fast!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/85.jpg)

You know what goes good with pregnancy?  Heavy chemicals.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/86.jpg)

Due to numerous occasions of Lakeshia popping randomly it was decided that the wedding should be moved up to pretty much immediantly.  With a wedding party made mostly of random passer-byers and barely known work friends looking for free booze we were ready.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/87.jpg)

Formal clothes, who needs them?  Falling down suspenders and Doc Martins gets the job done as well as anything else.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/89.jpg)

Owen: Lakeshia, we have only known each other for less than a week, but I'm already approaching middle age and it's time to get serious if I want my legacy to keep moving on.  Plus you are pretty hot and a good cook.  So let's get hitched.  

Lakeshia: Oh Owen you are so romantic!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/90.jpg)

Owen: Sure thing.  Take this ring, I found it in the bottom of a gum ball machine and guard it well.

Lakeshia: I have such a good feeling about this, or could that be indigestion.  Silly pregnancy hormones.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/92.jpg)

Aww, sweet romantic moment.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/95.jpg)

Lakeshia:  I'm already big as a house and you want me to eat that cake?  Oh my gosh that is so funny!  Ha ha ha ...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/96.jpg)

.... *snore*  Lovely things these pregnancy hormones.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/97.jpg)

POP ... No this is not any sort of pop!  Ow ow ow.  Eeeeee.  Oh why is this happening to me...  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/98.jpg)

Oh my!  Look I just gave birth to a larva!  Aww, aren't you the sweetest pre-metamorphosis creature ever!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/99.jpg)

Max: Huh?  Who are you?  What is going on here?  Why can't I move my arms!  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/100.jpg)

Lakeshia: Aww, you little worm, give Mama a kiss.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/101.jpg)

Max: Oh I see, my purpose is to be adorable.  I'll get right on that.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/103.jpg)

Owen: Oh my gosh that's totally a baby!  

Lakeshia: *is dazed*

Max: *has an itch on his nose*

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/103a.jpg)

Owen: Hello son, welcome to the world.

Max: Thanks Pops.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/104.jpg)

Lakeshia:  There are your legs and what cute little baby legs they are.  I can't believe I'm a Mother when it was only last week that I was out shopping for new clubbing clothes.  This might take some getting use to.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/106.jpg)

Max: Yes I am the cutest things that ever existed.  You know it, I know it.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/107.jpg)

Max:  At all times, so very cute, just precious.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/105.jpg)

Max: Couldn't be more perfect, no not at all.  This is my world, and let's see what I can make out of it.

(Sorry no Scamp in this last chapter.  There will be lots of him in the next chapter I promise.)

Hee hee. Love the wedding. ;)
And I'm sure we'll be seeing plenty of Scamp later!

Hee,hee this is great :D keep it coming!

Great update but yeah, I miss scamp, so I can't wait for the next one.

Wonders if there will be any canine vs baby jealousy.....  :lol:

Thanks for the comments! :D They always make me feel happy to know people are reading and enjoying!

Chapter 7

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/111.jpg)

Hello I'm Scamp!  Did you miss me?  I missed you.  Let's continue on with my story.  That's right, my story, no one else's.  The humans in this story, so boring with their silly love games.  Me, I'm a freedom loving bachelor and that's the way I like it.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/113.jpg)

Why hello ... I haven't seen you around here before.  Um, do you come hear often?  Wait ... this is my yard, uh of course you don't...  Right, uh ... Hi?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/114.jpg)

Gloria: *in doggy talk* That's all right.  I was actually just going from door to door looking for freedom loving animals to sign my petition for Dog Rights.

Scamp: You what!  I have the same exact same petition.  What to make of that?

Gloria: Quite the lucky coincidence I would say!    

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/118.jpg)

Scamp: I should get in.  My pet Owen needs to get tucked in at night or who knows what will happen?

Gloria: Where are you going hot stuff?  How about we head into that dog house that just so happens to be right here and discuss things further.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/119.jpg)

Scamp: If you insist... This better be good.  I feel another masterpiece coming on.    

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/120.jpg)

Whoa now that's what I call persuasive!  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/121.jpg)

Meanwhile Lakeshia continues to walk around looking hot even while carrying a baby.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/122.jpg)

Owen: I blow a kiss to you and your see through shirt.  Did you know that I'm not wearing any pants?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/123.jpg)

Oh ug, what was in those hamburgers?  At least I know I'm not pregnant.  After all I just had a baby ... right?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/124.jpg)

Max: I really could be a fashion model for cheesy Hawaiian shirts.  Look at my stoic pose, my handsome serious profile expression.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/125.jpg)

Scamp: What's this?  Last time I saw you, you were nothing more than a larva.  What on earth happened?

Max:  Well the last time I saw you, you were a virgin.

Scamp: Yeah funny story behind that actually  ... Wait, you understand me!  How do you even know that word under the age of one!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/125a.jpg)

Max: Because I'm an evil genius that likes to eat doggies.

Scamp:  Oh my freaking God!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/129.jpg)

Max: Ha ha.  With my two panda paws I will take over this world.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/130.jpg)

Wait ... why am I wearing this getup in the middle of July?  I can barely move my hands.  I'll just have to kill all the blocks with my amazing mind melding powers.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/132.jpg)

Yes I am so powerful that I can grow a whole head of curly hair over night and look even more darling than before.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/133.jpg)

Max: You know Mom I've been sitting in this chair all day long.  Not to rush you or anything but my bum is turning a bit red.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/134.jpg)

Max: Um, are you all right?  Something keeping you up at night?  Couldn't imagine what ...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/135.jpg)

Max: Well than ... you do that ... just take that nap on the dirty floor.  Don't worry about me I'll be fine just sitting here until I ... DIE.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/136.jpg)

Now those are some major flies if I don't say so myself.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/139.jpg)

Hmm, this could be a problem me thinks...  I wonder how everything will turn out?

LOL!!!  These are so freaking hilarious!  I love them.  I had to put my coffee down to read because I was afraid I'd spew all over my monitor.  Clever and humorous, with a cute baby and a dog both with attitudes much bigger than they are.  Keep it up!

:laugh:

TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT!!!

MORE :blob:  MORE  :blob:  MORE

Hee hee.  Scamp.  Love him! :D

haha that is so funny max is an evil genius who eats dogs

Ooooh.... evil genius baby. Like Aubrey. Keep wit the updates!

This legacy has to be one of the funniest!! I love the dog LMAO he's so...Amazing with his works of art =D Omg you have to write more LMAO!! :)

xx

Thank you as usual everyone for the comments!  They mean so much to me. :love4:

For this next chapter I'm putting on a rush, so just bare with me if I don't caption every picture and my spelling and grammar is atrocious as they tends to be.  I'll return to my other style for future chapters.  I am something in the neighbourhood of 250 pictures behind. :brain: Which isn't bad in and of itself, it's just that so much has happened (good and bad) and I want to get to it. :angel:

So here we go!  Longest chapter yet! :D

Chapter 8

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/143.jpg)

Yay expansions!  With another baby and puppies on the way it was time to build some new additions onto the house before everyone ate each other.  I've seen enough hand waving for one lifetime, thank you.  I only used the money I had because I refuse to use any cheats for this legacy.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/141.jpg)

Bottom floor.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/142.jpg)

Top floor.  Hmm, not perfect I guess.  It was the first time I created a top floor on a lot, so it's all right?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/140.jpg)

Here's the backyard.  I suppose I lose my handicap points for the family tree because I had to uproot it and move it.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/144.jpg)

Here's Max again!  Evil genius or no, I adore him.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/145.jpg)

There is something special about the first legacy baby I think.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/146.jpg)

All right, so he's a bit of an attention whore.  Show me a two year old who isn't.  I think he's confused by the fact that his house expanded over night.  Who wouldn't be?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/147.jpg)

Yay again!  Gloria and Scamp had their puppies.  Snap, Crackle and Pop.  Yes I was eating breakfast when I named them.  The white one is Pop, a girl, Crackle is brown also a girl.  Then finally Snap is the boy.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/148.jpg)

Here are two very proud doggie parents.  Not sit on the couch be damned, they just had triplets!  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/149.jpg)

Gloria: So I had the babies and it was a lot of work.  I'm off to the spa and you can do the rest!

Scamp: Um, not exactly what I signed up for...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/150.jpg)

Scamp: Still, aww, they are so sweet and they look and smell just like me.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/151.jpg)

Scamp: Maybe this won't be so bad provided the humans around here do all the real work.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/152.jpg)

Max:  Aww, puppy nice.  I not eat this puppy!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/155.jpg)

Lakeshia:  All right, all right!  The puppies are cute!  You know what's not cute?  I'm 9 months pregnant, Owen is always away and I'm stuck here with all these stinky dogs.  You see Owen's Lifetime Want is to have 6 pets reach the top of their careers.  So in other words we are keeping all the puppies and I'm going to be living and breathing dogs for the rest of my life.  *takes deep breath, passes out.*

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/155a.jpg)

Max: Aw Ma, chill.  What possible trouble could a few little dogs cause?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/156.jpg)

Aw heck, here we go again.  Hopefully now my bladder won't decay completely every five minutes.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/157.jpg)

Stephen: *Gasp*  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/158.jpg)

It's all right little guy.  Everything is going to be just fine, even though you are not a girl like I expected.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/159.jpg)

Max: Wow, Mom was making a lot of noise.  I'm so hungry.  Maybe this will be okay to drink?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/160.jpg)

Note to self, do not sample things that associate with green mist.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/161.jpg)

Aww, thanks Dad, that is so much better.  I haven't seen you around lately.  How have you been?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/162.jpg)

Yep Max old boy, pooping in a box through your clothes definetely means you are moving up in the world.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/163.jpg)

Ha ha ha.  They have all fallen for the cute disguise I portray.  With this crayon I will complete my plans for world domination!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/164.jpg)

Here is the current state of things.  Seems that Scamp's artistic vision has rubbed off quite well onto his pups.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/165.jpg)

For a while there I was really sure Lakeshia was going to lose her mind.  There was absolutely no time for anything with her but chores, chores and more chores between the puppies and the babies.  I was hoping to get a picture of the doctor when he showed but it never quite got that bad.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/166.jpg)

Grabbing naps where ever you can.  This does bring back memories for me.  Eeeek.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/167.jpg)

Lakeshia: Sexy pajamas, what sexy pajamas.  What you see is what you get love.  I'm running on fumes here.

Max:  That's lovely Ma.  How about your have your epiphany's when I'm not in danger of being dropped.  Just a thought.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/168.jpg)

Lakeshia:  I ... can't ... handle ... it.

Scamp:  Ohhh!  Nice weather we are having today

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/169.jpg)

Meanwhile Stephen continues to be generic cute little baby all sweet and things.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/170.jpg)

Bad train!  You've been a very bad train.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/171.jpg)

Bathtime, not the most favourite of times.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/172.jpg)

Aww, kisses for Pop.  Just tasting or loving, you decide.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/173.jpg)

Crackle: Daddy that boy is watching us again.

Scamp:  Yes I know dear, but no worries.  At least he's on the floor with us, not like those others only using 2 legs to walk.  Don't trust anyone with two legs, that's my motto.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/174.jpg)

Aww, I'm sad.  My jaw is displaced and I'm stuck in my crib, life is rough.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/175.jpg)

Awww, surge of growth hormones!  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/176.jpg)

Dude!  I totally just tripled in size.  Rock on!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/178.jpg)

Shhh, the puppies are sleeping.  As long as they are doing that and not peeing everywhere in site, they are so cute!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/179.jpg)

This is what poor Lakeshia spends pretty much her entire day doing.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/180.jpg)

Meanwhile Owen decided to hit up Ikea for some new furniture.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/181.jpg)

Then the puppies were not puppies anymore!  This is Pop, probably my favourite of the offspring just because she stands out well and has a pretty coat.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/182.jpg)

Then there is Crackle.  She's a bit more round then her sister, and a bit of a bully because of that.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/183.jpg)

Then there is Snap.  He takes after his Dad I think.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/184.jpg)

Yay!  Time for the traditional game of toss the baby!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/185.jpg)

Max is so handsome.  I am sure this one will be the same.  I can't wait to see.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/186.jpg)

*pin drops*


*jaw drops*


Oh ... No.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/187.jpg)

Back in oblivion land Pop and Max are becoming the best of friend.  They become owner and master very quick.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/189.jpg)

Here you go.  Have a radioactive bottle.  It might help, it certainly can't hurt.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/190.jpg)

Max continues to be gorgeous.  Look at me, I'm an ant!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/191.jpg)

And domination of the world of ants will be mine!  I have not forgotten!  *evil laugh*

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/192.jpg)

Poor Stephen.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/193.jpg)

Stephen tries out Opera.  Is surprisingly successful.  With a nose like that I suppose getting a lot of air is easy.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/194.jpg)

I do admit to having affection for him.  Now that I'm over shock I can certainly see that he has potential in his individuality.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/195.jpg)

Meanwhile Pop is taking his art to new interactive levels.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/196.jpg)

Max is back from his first day of school!  Of course he did a wonderfully.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/197.jpg)

Gloria:  Hello Snukums!  You know with the puppies all grown up, I was thinking we should have another!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/198.jpg)

Scamp: Right you bet ... any day now ... I'll get right on that ... uh huh

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/199.jpg)

Owen made enough money that we could finally afford a babysitter once in a while.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/200.jpg)

Aww, bliss!  A nap in the middle of the day is pure magic when you have kids.  Believe me I can attest to that!  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/201.jpg)

Max gets Pop ready for the stage, as the best Showbiz dog ever!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/202.jpg)

Owen politely attempts small talk with the nanny.  Always a mistake.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/203.jpg)

Max continues his plans to take over the world one horse drawing at a time.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/204.jpg)

Guess what?  Owen actually got it together enough to take his wife to a nice restaurant.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/206.jpg)

There are fringe benefits of course to that.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/207.jpg)

Ohh, that's a hot kiss.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/208.jpg)

Turns out she happy to return the favour.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/209.jpg)

They are so sweet when they are lovely dovey like this.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/211.jpg)

Next we see Owen sneaking into a dressing room booth.  Fulfilling an exhibitionist want are we?  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/213.jpg)

From that smile I'd surely say yes.  No baby chime played however, thank goodness for that.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/214.jpg)

Whoa, when someone shows up and looks at you this intently, you have two choices.  Either run and hide, or

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/215.jpg)

Talk about the stock market.  Either work quite well.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/216.jpg)

Well that was a strange encounter...  Must be the new neighbours that just moved in.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/217.jpg)

Pop: Hmm, what do you make of that darling brother?

Snap: Couldn't say for sure my sweet sister.  Seems to be a human but his eyes are so small and shrunken and his jaw in so slight.

Pop: Could it be that he is one of us?

Snap: Certainly could be!  Let's play!
 
(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/218.jpg)

Max continues to campaign to be sweet and wonderful so they will never suspect.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/219.jpg)

Max: Now listen Mister Bear AKA Minion, when the time comes I will give the world and we will take over.  You and me, and maybe the ants, or and Pop, hmm, maybe Dad can come alone.  Mom to, she needs the break.  Well Stephen I suppose will have to join us.  How much more to my world is there I wonder?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/220.jpg)

Max: You know, we totally could be having ice cream right now.  When I rule the world there will be ice cream at every meal.

Lakeshia: Fine, that sounds great.  Just eat your pancakes in the meantime.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/221.jpg)

*no comment, rolls eyes.*

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/222.jpg)

Gloria managed to talk Scamp into the dog house again, just how I'm not sure.  Then yes the chime sounded so more puppies.  Yay?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/223.jpg)

Oh that's real classy Owen.  Don't you have pet beds to clean?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/225.jpg)

Max:  Mom I got an A!

Lakeshia:  Yep, that's what I am.  Mom, nothing else, nothing else here.

Stephen: Both of you are out of your minds.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/226.jpg)

Stephen: Will you like me if I share my bottle?  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/227.jpg)

Max: Growl!  In my footy pyjamas I can do anything!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/228.jpg)

Aww, more hugs for Pop!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/229.jpg)

Max:  Ohhhh?

Stephen:  Oh silly brother, you can't sing worth a darn.  Try though I find it amusing.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/230.jpg)

Max: Oh dear brother of MIIIINNNNEEE!!!!

Stephen:  Uh, we don't want to wake the neighbours do we?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/231.jpg)

Scamp:  Hi ... I was wondering, if it's not to make trouble ... I've been working such long hours and the misses is pregnant again.  Any chance for a hug?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/232.jpg)

Yeah, now that's some good hugging!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/233.jpg)

Oh yeah!  I finished my picture!  These will be my slaves when the time comes.  Also yay I finished a picture, I'm so cool.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/234.jpg)

Look, look.  Betcha you can't top that, you can't that's right.  Whose the man ... boy.  Me that's who!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/235.jpg)

Lakeshia has some of the neighbours over and randomly shares some ghost stories.  Interesting dinner conversation ... Or maybe she's planning on killing the neighbours and making them into a pie!  Ahhh!  Probably not though...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/236.jpg)

Aww, poor neglected Stephen.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/238.jpg)

Do you know what's even more scary then ghosts?  Potty training.  

Neighbour:  Now that I agree with.

Max: Hmph, I don't know if I do.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/241.jpg)

Stephen grows up!  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/242.jpg)

Stephen: Yay!  I still have two hands!  That's so cool!

Owen:  Yeah ... a bit of a shame about the nose ...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/243.jpg)

Stephen: Oh come on Dad, it will be all right.

Owen: Yeah you are right, of course you are.

That's all for now.  If you read through all that I am very impressed!  Cheers and I'll see you all later!

Of course I read through all that and I enjoyed it, too!  Lots of exciting developments for this family!  Babies and puppies growing up all over the place.  Pop is adorable!  And maybe poor Stephan will grow into his awkwardness.  Very enjoyable, as always, and your pictures are always fun to look at.  Nice job!

yay! i just read through the WHOLE legacy, and i must say that it's turning out quite well! lol, all of the captions have me laughing like a hyena! :laugh:

Can't believe I missed so many chapters! Finally caught up. Hehe makes my day a bit brighter reading this. :lol:
Btw erica, I love your avatar. Are you a closet twilight fan too?
:D

Lol I love this! just read the whole legacy as well, can't wait to see more. It had me laughing soo much! Great sense of humor. :)

Thank you for the comments!  :D  I'm so glad I got you laughing. :-P  

Just a disclaimer, my avatar is that of a rotten apple, so no ... not that big on Twilight unfortunately.  I have a few issues with it, but this is not the time or place.  :)  Don't hold it against me! :rabbit:

Anyway, here comes ...

Chapter 9  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/246.jpg)

Then there were 6!  Dogs that is.  The sixth little bundle of barking joy is Sam, another girl.  

Scamp: So how does she seem my dear?

Gloria: She smells just fine!  Even as I smell her armpit.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/247.jpg)

Max: So you start school tomorrow Stephen?  Well let me tell you, it's difficult to get good grades.  Like I did actually with no trouble at all.

Owen: Now, now son let's be nice.  I'm sure Stephen will get by somehow.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/248.jpg)

Max: Hmph, if you say so.

Lakeshia: Eat your vegetables honey.  You need to stay nice and healthy and strong.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/250.jpg)

Now with more free time Lakeshia is taking up Japanese art, something wholly endorse.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/251.jpg)

Owen: Now I know not everything comes to you as easily as it does Max.  So I'm going to help you with your homework.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/252.jpg)

Stephen: Sure Dad.  I'll just pretend that you look at Max and I the same way.  It's much easier that way.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/253.jpg)

Stephen: Now I know how to study.  You know what, it doesn't matter, no matter what everything will be okay and someday you will see.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/254.jpg)

Scamp: I have a secret ... You are looking rather lovely today.

Gloria: I also have a secret ... I love you.

Snap: You know I can hear you Mom and Dad and that made me all itchy.  I'm trying to relax here!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/255.jpg)

Sam: Hi Mom!  What's that, what's that!  Dog food.  Oh it's good, it's good!  Yum, yum, yum!

Gloria: Yes it's good.  Oh dear me.

Yes Sam is a rather hyperactive puppy dog driving everyone mad.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/256.jpg)

Scamp: I swear I was just getting up from my nap and confetti started flying out of my butt!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/258.jpg)

Oh I'm an elder now?  Well that's nice, time to retire and just relax.  I demand a four footed foot massage right now!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/259.jpg)

Max continues spending a great deal of time training and play with Pop.

Max: Well Pop, I asked the teacher if I could bring you to school, but it turns out that she doesn't quite buy that I'm blind and need a seeing eye dog.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/261.jpg)

His passion is tinkering so spending some time researching it makes good sense.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/262.jpg)

Max: Oh yes I know that there is a woman behind me eye balling my next.  You know what, I ignore strangers especially ones that look like they might be half zombies.  Makes good sense I think.  Who let her in here anyways?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/263.jpg)

The boys spend the vast majority of their free time training the dogs.  How nice to them to fulfill their Father's LTW.  Getting 6 dogs to the top of their careers is a lot harder than I thought it would be!  Though thankfully Maxis made training dogs fun or it would be completely impossible.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/264.jpg)

Lakeshia came home glowing green and happy at life.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/GoodDaySmall.jpg)

Easy to see why.  It's always a good day when you hold the world hostage and get $60,000 out of it.  Oh and yes her name is really Lakshmi but I forgot that when I started writing this legacy so blah.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/265.jpg)

Oh yawn!  Yet another day ahead of being gorgeous and wonderful.  How ever do I cope.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/266.jpg)

Oh I just had a bad dream!  About Max and leaves and ... I don't remember.  That can't really happen, can it?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/267.jpg)

Owen: I have surprise for you! Guess which hand?

Scamp:  Uh, right hand?  

Owen: Nope, nothing see.  You guessed wrong.

Gloria: This is so silly and pointless.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/268.jpg)

Random Cook Person:  I want you to come to my secret hideway, where we can 'cook' together.

Owen: Um, first it's downright spooky that you just walked in without knocking while I'm still in my PJs, second I just don't go to anyone's secret hideout without a reason.

RCP: I'll make you a pie.

Owen: Well in that case...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/269.jpg)

Meanwhile Max is already kiss-assing his way up the corporate ladder.  Starting with the headmaster of the local private school.

5 minutes later....

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/270.jpg)

Headmaster: I would be thrilled to have your son at our school.

Owen: *gulp, gulp, gulp*.  What's that?  I have two sons you know.

Headmaster: Whatever.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/280.jpg)

Max: Hi Scamp!  Did you know that I am enrolled at an exclusive private school?

Scamp: *in doggy talk* It might be just me but you are getting a bit big for the britches, aren't you?

Max: Everyone thinks I'm so great.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/281.jpg)

Stephen somehow manages to stay cheerful even while cleaning the house and being all but ignored by his parents.  This is the Cinderella story in reverse or something.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/282.jpg)

Scamp: So do you still like me even though I'm old and beige?

Gloria: Of course my dear.  You are top dog with me!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/284.jpg)

Max's birthday!  He actually got a cake, first one ever.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/285.jpg)

Yay for Max!  Spoiled little darling.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/287.jpg)

Oh yeah, nice and strong.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/288.jpg)

Max: You better believe it baby!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/289.jpg)

Max: Someday you will be great like me if you do everything I say all the time.

Stephen: Oh Golly...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/290.jpg)

Then Max proceeded to get the ultimate birthday gift!  A brand new house!  Wow wee!  No what actually happened is that someone the lot they were on got infected with something and free will was completely screwed up among other things.  I was so worried, thinking that this was the end of the line.  I managed to save them all though, but lost the lot.  So I downloaded another lot with no CC and here we are.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/291.jpg)

Lakeshia stops her criminal ways long enough to play with Sam.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/292.jpg)

Max and Snap spend quality guy time together.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/293.jpg)

Owen and Pop discuss politics in a friendly manner.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/294.jpg)

Scamp discovers that green bones can be just as tasty as brown.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/297.jpg)

See that there was strangely an old abandoned car on this lovely lot, Max got right on it with some power tools.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/298.jpg)

Then Owen suddenly unexpectedly had a heart attack!  Oh no!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/299.jpg)

Ha ha, just kidding isn't that funny?

Lakeshia: No..

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/300.jpg)

So here is our family.  And yes Lakeshia does have interesting ideas of appropriate dining wear.  Max seems slightly more cheerful these days.  Must have been those pre-teen hormones before.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/303.jpg)

My goodness does he love his tinkering.  He went to the secret lot looking for teenage girls and found none. So he spent his time enthusiastically talking electric trains with the engineer there.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/305.jpg)

With more time on her hands now Lakeshia is devoting more time to her hobbies.  For unknown reasons she felt confident enough to enter a cooking contest.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/306.jpg)

The judge seemed to like her crapes...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/308.jpg)

But she lost.

Lakeshia: Now darn it, darn it, darn it.

Random Cook Guy:  Listen lady no one wants a scene.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/309.jpg)

Random girls keeping walking by the house.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/310.jpg)

Unfortunately Max can not claim to be a fan.  Will he ever find the woman of his dreams?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/312.jpg)

Owen's birthday!  It's been quite a journey all ready, what will the future hold?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/313.jpg)

A haircut!  That's good for starters I think.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/314.jpg)

Ah, now that's better.  All debonair and stuff.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/315.jpg)

Snuggles, snuggles.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/316.jpg)

Max knows that he looks hot and cocky in his private school uniform.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/317.jpg)

Even Stephen looks good actually.  The kids has dignity and a positive outlook, I really like that.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/318.jpg)

Lakeshia takes her cooking aspirations a bit far and manages to set the kitchen on fire!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/319.jpg)

Lakeshia: Oh thank goodness you got here!  That fire burned so hot and so quickly.  Good thing we have plenty of money for a new stove!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/320.jpg)

It must be the area that they moved into because sudden there are so many girls around.  Even one for Stephen.  Maybe the no nose will balance out too much nose?  Who knows?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/323.jpg)

Meanwhile Max makes love to his mirror.  

Max: Oh baby you have everything!  Good looks, charm and a great sense of style.  This is a match made in heaven.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/324.jpg)

Owen: I may be old and grey and you may be carrying extra junk in the trunk, but together we are magic!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/325.jpg)

Lakeshia: What do you say my dearest, still have it in you?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/326.jpg)

Owen: Boy do I ever baby!  Come here!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/327.jpg)

Finally Max finds the woman of his dreams and she is just like his ... mother.  Hmm, I could explore the deep reaching physiological implications of this, but I'm a bit lazy.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/328.jpg)

Stephen brought a friend home from school.  Seems that he is practising early to take over his mother's 'career' choice.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/329.jpg)

Whoa, teenage boys really have no brains at all sometimes.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/330.jpg)

No she won't go out with you now, silly boy.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/331.jpg)

Yay homework time!  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/332.jpg)

Meanwhile Lakeshia is out walking the dogs when she comes upon a stranger who just loves talking make-up.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/333.jpg)

And loves to wear womans shoes.  What sharp teeth he has?  Really this is a bit strange.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/334.jpg)

Paul the vampire: You know I love sun!

Owen: Um ... right.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/335.jpg)

One of the worth things about this house is the huge pills of leaves that need to be raked up at least once a day.  Silly trees making silly leaves.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/336.jpg)

Paul: Hi there boy!  I'm harmless really.

Scamp: My doggy ass you are.  Still, do you want to play?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/337.jpg)

Max: Oh yeah, I need to polish until I can see myself.  Then this car will be perfect!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/338.jpg)

Random Girl: Please ... Your rich family and good looks do nothing for me.

Max: Aww, shucks.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/339.jpg)

Delivery woman: You know you totally called me and I brought this food over...

Lakeshia: Must ... work ... off ... butt.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/340.jpg)

Max: At least I have this car.  When I can drive any where I want I'll be able to find all the girls that look just like my mother!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/342.jpg)

Owen retired and now he spends all his time with the never ending task of training the dogs.  Honestly it's unbelievable how long this is taking.  The dogs always get to tired or have to use the loo right before being fully trained, always!  I'm hoping Owen manages this!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/ScampRules.jpg)

BTW, Scamp, best dog and best doggy Daddy ever.  I've never seen a dog with such a perfect relationship with everybody before.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/343.jpg)

Stephen got an A.  No one noticed, but he was proud of himself and that is what matters.

Then boom!  He grew up and no one noticed, including me, bad me.  His face rounded out a bit and that helps.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/347.jpg)

He's so fun and sweet and that helps tons.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/348.jpg)

Sam grew up and here are all the dogs in one room!  Clockwise from the bottom.  Sam, Scamp, Gloria, Pop, Crackle and Snap in the middle.  It's slightly scary that I know that!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/351.jpg)

Owen: You know Stephen is doing so well, maybe he will be an overachiever like Max!

Scamp: Hey I'm rooting for him.  At least he never tried to eat me.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/352.jpg)

Max continues to work on his car.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/353.jpg)

Almost done!  Just add a bit of paint and ...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/354-1.jpg)

All done!  Looks good, doesn't it?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/355.jpg)

Max kindly invited Stephen and the Wellgate boys went out on the town.  Unfortunately all the teenage girls must be in hiding or something.  Well try again later.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/357.jpg)

Owen practically lives in the bathroom at this point.  He spends at least 6 hours a day just washing dogs.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/361.jpg)

Then it happened ... folks ... the worst thing possible.  Max was out raking and burning leaves.  Apparently his bathrobe caught on fire.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/362.jpg)

He went up like a torch, too much cologne?  Everyone tried to save him, especially Lakeshia.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/363.jpg)

But nope...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/364.jpg)

Shock, I was in shock.  It happened so fast.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/365.jpg)

The grim reaper wasn't interested in any sort of plea.  There was nothing to do.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/366.jpg)

....

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/367.jpg)

I got nothing.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/368.jpg)

Stephen apparently couldn't care less.  Which made me angry at first, but then I remembered Max was never especially nice to him.  I was hoping they would become better friends in college, but now that is never to be...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/369.jpg)

Owen and Lakeshia were of course devastated, as was I.  

Of course I could have just reloaded my game but I had made pack with myself to accept anything that happened, no excuses.  I have never had a teenage sim die in my game before and I can't believe it happened now, but it did.  

Now it's down to Stephen, ... or is it?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/370.jpg)

And even the fireflies cried ...

Sorry for the depressing ending, but that's the way it went. :(

Oh...wow.  Was not expecting that.  Oh my gosh!  Here I was feeling sorry for Stephen all this time and oh my - what a shock.  I admire you for not taking the easy way out and reloading - that's really hard, especially when something like this happens.  But wow.  

Anyway, got lots of laughs before this happened.  Lots of fun stuff, as usual.  Thanks for the humor - I really need it tonight.

:shock:

wow.

as Astral said, i was not expecting that. then again, there was always something about Stephen that made me like him better :D

great update!!!

Noo! I liked evil, creepy, conceited, genious Max! Was I the only one? 'Tis very sad. *sniff* :D

Ooh I get it now (your avvie lol). I promise I won't go into it but after the epic failure of BD my opinion of the saga has declined. :lol:

Love long chapters, keep it coming lol.

Aww :( I too felt for Stephen, and didn't take to Max with his narcissistic ways, but he didn't deserve that. Still, good on you for not reloading - are you keeping score? I know there's a penalty for reloading, but still it's a challenge, as you're finding out.

And yay, Paul! :D Wasn't expecting him to show up in a legacy, but I'm not complaining ;)

I love thiss Legacy!

I'm Upset now i've found out max died :(
Keep up The Amazing Work :D

Thanks everyone for your comments and sympathy! :group hu:

Sadie, I am keeping score, after a fashion.  It's probably not perfect.  There is a clause that you can restart your game if it is an absolutely emergency.  It wasn't really though because Stephen is still going strong and wants it very much in his patient way.  Things tend to be interesting when you just let them happen though, I've found. ;)

Yeah Paul manages to getting into everything I do. :-P  Sneaky little demon he is.

Chapter 10

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/373.jpg)

Stephen has suddenly taken to working out his weights every chance he gets.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/374.jpg)

It seems to be working!  Strut your stuff baby, you've got it!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/375.jpg)

What's this now?  You want to eat this glowing green bowl of toxic waste?  I'm game!  Nothing like a bit of a glow to get me moving in the morning.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/376.jpg)

Ohh I feel all tingly!  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/377.jpg)

Not only does it help my digestion, it keeps my teeth pearly white.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/378.jpg)  

Stephen had a snow day and he was quite thrilled.  In fact it snowed so much that winter, he had three snow days in a row.  Not much to do but hang about all the time.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/379.jpg)

All the while Lakeshia is hanging out in bathroom.

Lakeshia: Ug, what is all this?  Five days until I become an elder.  Must be my body winding down.  That's it, all it can be.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/380.jpg)

I don't know...  Looks like more than that to me!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/382.jpg)

It was a special Mother and son bonding time as they worked today creating artificial men from snow.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/383.jpg)

Then with a pop it all changed.  Seems another Wellgate is on the way!  I was surprised with Lakeshia so close to being an elder, surprised but pleased.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/384.jpg)

Excusing himself from the family drama for a bit, Stephen made eyes with a red head named Willow.  Can't say I don't love that name.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/385.jpg)

Even as he chatted Willow up yet another girl happened to come by.  What luck.  He was equally attracted to both so he invited both in to see what would happen.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/387.jpg)

I think we can see who the clear winner is here.  Just walking by someone's house so you might come in and use their computer is not cool.
 
(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/389.jpg)

Stephen: Enough talk, time for a decision.  What do you think?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/390.jpg)

Willow: How this?  You put the boom, boom into my heart!

Stephen:  How lovely and I must say, you wake me up before you go-go!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/391.jpg)

Ah a perfect snow angel.  Surely someone is looking down from heaven and smiling.  Or maybe that someone is floating around the garden a red ball of fury ...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/392.jpg)

This is wrong on so many level.  Barefoot outside in the winter exercising in pjs while pregnant ...  At least she is looking slimmer now.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/393.jpg)

Ahh!  Snowball headed your way, better duck!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/394.jpg)

Ohh, just missed her.  Great reflexes!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/395.jpg)

Yes that's a pregnant tummy all right.  What mysteries does it hold?  After two boys I know what I wish for.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/396.jpg)

Stephen: Hey Mom I got an A!  I do this everyday and I will keep on doing it until I get the cheer I deserve..

Lakeshia: Hmm, good.  I would get up but I am pregnant and don't want to disturb the baby.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/398.jpg)

Ohh, ohh here we go!  What will it be?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/399.jpg)

Oh another boy ...  Yay ...  I have nothing against boys, but a girl would be nice at some point.  I'm talking to you Stephen, take note!

Lakeshia: Aww, look at him!  He looks just like Max did once upon a time.  

Stephen: Actually he looks just like I did too you know.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/400.jpg)

Lakeshia: Aww, you are so sweet, just like Max.  I'm going to call you Matthew because you are clearly from heaven.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/403.jpg)

Stephen: So you are Max's replacement are you?  Try it if you like, but I'm off to university soon and they will be impressed then.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/407.jpg)

Owen: Another one?  When did that happen?  Hello little baby!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/406.jpg)

Matthew: Hello Dad!  Something happen around here?  What did I miss?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/410.jpg)

Oh My God, first sighting!  Wow, just as red as I thought he would be.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/411.jpg)

Nothing like blossoming young winter love.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/412.jpg)

Willow:  Isn't it quite amazing that every time we do something hearts are floating above our heads?

Stephen: Hmm, did you something something darling?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/414.jpg)

Owen: Look at my boy almost all grown up.  Now I have another one starting over at the beginning?  I must be out of my mind.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/416.jpg)

Stephen: Do allow me to properly massage you my dear.

Willow: Aw, thank you.  You are so thoughtful.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/417.jpg)

Willow: That's really nice, but I'm so cold I've turned blue!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/419.jpg)

Stephen: I know just the thing to warm you.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/421.jpg)

It certainly did work well.  It's so good seeing Stephen doing all right for himself.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/422.jpg)

Stephen: Oh my god you are that cool vampire guy who use to hang around our house all the time.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/423.jpg)

Paul: That's right.  I am cool.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/425.jpg)

Stephen: You know I may be a popularity sim, but my secondary aspiration is knowledge.  I get these strange wants from time to time ... hint hint.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/426.jpg)

Matthew is such a perfect baby!  He rarely cries and sleeps more than Max and Stephen combined.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/428.jpg)

Birthday time!  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/429.jpg)

Toss the kid up and let him down.  Will he look like Stephen or Max?  The anticipation is killing me.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/431.jpg)

Neither!  It's a good nose though.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/433.jpg)

After a make-over!  How comes Matthew, the late stage mid life crisis miracle baby.  How will this effect the dynamics of the family?  Honestly with what has happened so far, I haven't a clue.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/436.jpg)

Owen:  Goodnight my sweet angel.  My only wish is to be around to see you grow.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/437.jpg)

The same party Lakeshia changed into an elder.  My sims seem to be picking out decent clothes for themselves, which is nice for a change.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/438.jpg)

Stephen was leaving for uni in the morning as he and his father had some last minute fun bonding over GTA.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/408.jpg)

Stephen: Goodbye Snap!  Forgot me not and I'll see you soon.

Snap: Sure thing.  Rub my belly before you go.  It's for good luck, I promise.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/439.jpg)

Ohh scary ghost anger.  Sorry about the bed mate, but we couldn't exactly just keep it around.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/440.jpg)

Moving up and out Stephen gets out the cab into a whole new life.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/441.jpg)

His girlfriend Willow and him put all their savings together to rent a little house just outside the campus.  Which you can't see from here because my graphic card doesn't allow for that.  :-P

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/443.jpg)

Willow: You know Stephen now that we are at University I just wanted to say that even though we are living together we don't have to be exclusive.  I mean this is the time for fun and experiment.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/444.jpg)

Stephen: Oh.  I didn't know you felt that way.  Sure ... maybe that's for the best?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/446.jpg)

Willow: Of course it is!  Besides you know I love you best.

Yay mixed messages!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/445.jpg)

Unwanted surprise packages outside the door do get me enough money to actually make living condition passable.  Only good thing, Mr. Humble!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/448.jpg)

Still they were basically broke, so Stephen tried panhandling with little success.  A bunch of skinflints these college types.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/451.jpg)

Fortunately just when it looked like they were going to have to sell the couch Stephen got a call from a certain vampire inviting him down town.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/452.jpg)

There was a nice meal with Paul prattling on and on about all sort of rubbish.  Nothing better than a captive audience.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/453.jpg)

Stephen: What's this?  Advertising for temporary DJ's?  I might have to give that one a whirl.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/454.jpg)

He was a great success, with the money just rolling in!  Got the ladies dancing and Paul giggling, couldn't ask for more.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/455.jpg)

He even got hit on by one of them and sad to say she's married and writing this legacy right now.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/456.jpg)

Stephen: It's nice to know that Max isn't the only one who can get the girls flocking.  Of course I must remember Willow, she's my girlfriend after all.  I'm sure she's at home just waiting for me.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/457.jpg)

Noo... sorry to say, that a no Stephen.  She had been cheating on him with a cow.  Yes a literal cow.  Bad enough either way but with a cow it's that much more insulting I would think.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/458.jpg)

That cow has many enemies. Even before he left that lot the Cow had been attacked by a furious cheerleader.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/459.jpg)

Who of course won.  You don't mess with the cheer squad.  See I told you it was a real cow.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/460.jpg)

To make himself feel better and to get some more much needed mula Stephen tried free styling.  He had half the place dancing, but did anyone put anything in his tip jar?  Nope, not a penny.  Hello people pony up all ready!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/461.jpg)

He even got a bit of unexpected attention.  He's a current head of the line though and I can't have him going that route.  Pity.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/462.jpg)

Stephen Out!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/463.jpg)

He didn't however miss the opportunity of chatting up a couple of people in very nice uniforms.  Is there a method to his madness?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/464.jpg)

Willow left in a huff to explore her bovine interests elsewhere.  So sad, but they only had one lighting bolt between them.  On to big and better things.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/467.jpg)

Mmmm, pepperoni pizza.  The stable of the University student's diet.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/468.jpg)

Stephen invited several suits over to his modest home, when it happened.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/469.jpg)

Party crasher!  

Stephen: Excuse me?  You think I'm a chicken?  What is this?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/470.jpg)

PC: No I think you are trying to weasel your way into our secret club.  Sorry to say it worked.  Take this poke so you will remember how lucky you are.

Stephen: I think you punctured an artery with that poke.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/471.jpg)

PC: Now I'm going to lock you up and give you another good poke.

Stephen: This is turning a bit more kinky then I thought it would.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/473.jpg)

Fortunately it all turned out well when he arrived at the secret society.  Quite the welcome party he had!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/474.jpg)

One girl in particular caught his eye.    

Stephen: So you come here often good looking?

Lola: Why yes.  I live here just so you can meet me, fall in love before I eventually break your heart.

Stephen: Uh, what did you say?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/475.jpg)

Lola: Welcome to the secret society!  I can see you will fit in well here

Stephen: Thank you!  I'm sure I will.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/476.jpg)

Stephen didn't just come to meet girls however.  He came for something else...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/477.jpg)

Stephen: If I told you that you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?

Lola:  You wouldn't be able to stop me baby!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/478.jpg)

Good idea to feed the mascot before the mascot feeds on you.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/479.jpg)

After that Stephen was so high on happiness that he couldn't help but cream Paul with a water balloon.  Why is there a vampire on campus?  Search me.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/480.jpg)

Stephen: Hey Dad!  What's going down?  What's shaking up top?  Keep on grooving baby.

Owen:  Well you certainly are in a good mood today.  College is clearly doing well with you.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/481.jpg)

Stephen was only too quick to share his good fortune with Snap.  Wonderful thing about dogs is that they always listen.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/482.jpg)

Stephen:  Dad ... I got (nicked) something for you and for Mom ... I want you to have it but be careful with it.

Owen:  Where did you get that?  How did you get that.  I don't know ... I don't know if I should take it.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/483.jpg)

Stephen: Take it Dad.  I know you'll do the right thing.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/486.jpg)

Stephen invited Lola over for some country dancing?!?  What the heck?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/488.jpg)

No not quite that, but we can't tell you, it's a super special secret!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/489.jpg)

Ahh, campus love.  Seems the Wellgates really do have a thing for redheads.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/492.jpg)

Owen: Well that's my cue to leave I think!  Hard to believe how fast they grow.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/494.jpg)

Owen: I just wanted to say before I go that you are doing so well son.  I'm so proud of you and always have been.

Stephen:  Thank you Dad.  That means so much to me, so much more than you know.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/495.jpg)

Back at the ranch Matthew is taking his first steps.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/496.jpg)

Owen was out playing with Pop when he spied the ghost of his first born.  He wasn't scared, just sad about a life cut so short.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/497.jpg)

He was scared but opened the present Stephen had given him, an item of great and wonderful power.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/498.jpg)

Owen: Money?  You want money?  Um, I don't know ... is three thousand enough?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/499.jpg)

Owen: Ah, what's happening!!!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/500.jpg)

Owen:  Max?   ... is that you ... ?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/501.jpg)

Owen: Oh my God!  What have I done??

:shock: OMG!!! zombie max!!!!!

Yikes!! When you said surprising, you weren't kidding! :shock:

On a lighter note, Stephen's a sweetie :love2: Finally got the praise he deserved, too :D

Awesome update :)

:jaw: Whoa.

OMG - I so can't believe he's a zombie!  Awesome!

Fabulous update - lots of giggles.  Stephen seems like a nice guy, but his baby brother sure is a cutie pie.  I love that closeup pic of Scamp looking up at the camera.

:D fun story!

and I just love that picture of the dog smiling up to the camera :D

Thank you so much everyone for your comments and interest! :D  

I was really surprised that I was able to resurrect Max so easily.  However buy and build mode is active on the secret society lot so it was no problem to put the grim reapers phone in Stephen's inventory.  So yay!  As far as the zombie bit, I couldn't quite resist doing that. :-P

Stephen really is a nice guy, a Libra and his personality nice bar is almost filled to the top.  I'll just have to wait to see how Matthew turns out. ;)  

Chapter 11

Thankfully once Max got some air into his lungs he lost that bluish hue, but somehow gained stitches around his mouth.  Hmm, curious and curiouser.  No quick fix for that stench unfortunately.  To the showers with you!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/503.jpg)

Matthew:  Daddy, I heard something downstairs...

Owen: Heard something!  What could you have heard?  Nothing happened downstairs. ... Here's a bottle for you.  This is such a nice room you have here, how about you stay in here forever?

Matthew: You are so convincing I almost thought about maybe considering possibly believing you for a moment.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/504.jpg)

Max: BRAAAAIIIINNNS!  No this isn't a brains, but a sandwich. .... SAANNDDWIICCHHH!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/506.jpg)

So off went Max to the clothing store for a makeover, because I don't know to many preppy zombies.  Before I could even get a proper picture of him with his new look, he was hit on and hit on hard.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/508.jpg)

Robin: Oh Max, your cold clammy skin, deathly ill pallor and especially those infected stitches around your mouth just does it for me!  

Max: BRAAAIIINNNSSS!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/509.jpg)

With skill Max sneaked up behind Robin and ate out her brain!  Ahhh!

No that's not what happened, but wouldn't that be cool?  Maybe not quite so graphic.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/512.jpg)

The first kiss of death!

Max: This close I can easily smell your BRRAAIINNSS!

Robin: I have always dreamed of being in love with a rotting corpse!  How could one girl get so lucky?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/514.jpg)

Hello I'm Max, your friendly neighbourhood zombie!  Welcome to my home.  Do allow me to show you around.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/515.jpg)

This is my brother Matthew.  Unfortunately I am under strict orders never, ever to eat him but sometimes I really wonder if a bit or two gone missing would be even noticed.  I mean he's so small anyway.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/516.jpg)

Max: So hungry!!!  Come here you half bear/child thing.

Matthew: No I will not!  *stomps bear feet*  Go away!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/518.jpg)

Arggg Zombie rage!  Stupid parental units making me fix all the appliances and not allowing me to eat the baby.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/519.jpg)

What's that?  No not at all.  I'm the Friendly neighbourhood zombie remember.  Perfectly sweet and innocent in all things.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/522.jpg)

Lakeshia: Wow, you are back in the bathrobe you died in.  Not burned at all ... interesting.  Now don't worry about not being able to eat Matthew.  When you go to university there will be plenty of people to eat there, I promise.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/521.jpg)

Max: Aww, thanks Mom!  (Hmm, BRRAAIINNS!)

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/523.jpg)

Owen: Now son, I'm interrupting this pyjama party so to remind you to be playful and nice.  Please, please try to remember that.

Max: BBRRAAIINNSS!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/524.jpg)

Max received the zombie scholarship and asked Robin to join him on his uni adventures.  He moved in with Stephen and Lola and than they all moved together to a much bigger space.

Stephen: This is so cool!  My brother is back and all is right with the world.  Oh look, butterflies.

Robin: Oh my god, he's even hotter than he was before.  The stench has increased so wonderfully much!

Max: Oh ... it's you.  I remember you.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/526.jpg)

Off to the clothing store, again.  Robin got a nice new makeover.  Maybe a bit goth, but she is in love with a zombie, after all.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/527.jpg)

Max: BIIRRDD BRRAAIINNS!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/528.jpg)

Stephen: So you were really dead!  What was it like?

Max: This is your brraaiinn alive ... this is your brrraaiiinn as a zombie...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/529.jpg)

Kicky ball, the joining bond between the living and the dead.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/562.jpg)

Meanwhile Stephen was making lots of time with Lola, his girlfriend.  Yes that is Lola, not Robin, Max's girlfriend.  It's confusing because Lola and Robin look exactly alike except that Robin has darker skin.  Stupid Maxis...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/563.jpg)

Ohhh yeah!!  Stephen getting lucky!  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/565.jpg)

Now that she is part of the family Lola got her own makeover.  Unfortunately she is pretty much a crap cook.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/566.jpg)

A really really crap cook and set Stephen and her little hut on fire.  

Stephen: I know I said our love was burning hot but this is ridiculous.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/567.jpg)

Lucky for them I had installed a fire alarm and the fire department came.  They did lose the stove however with no money to buy another.

Stephen: It's all right, we can always go over to Max's hut and eat there.

Lola: It's so creepy over there, but if we have to, we have to.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/568.jpg)

Yes it is a bit, but fortunately Robin is a great cook.  

Max: BRRAAIINNSS!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/569.jpg)

Max: Ah, finally we are alone my unpicked flower with a brain stem.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/570.jpg)

Stephen: Never mind me, I'll just clean these right up.

Robin: Oh Max, you really are wonderful.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/572.jpg)

Robin could no longer resist the lure of Max's decomposing body and with sweet words pulled them into their bed.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/571.jpg)

Max: BRAINS!  BRAINS!  All mine!

Robin: What the .... stop chewing on my hair already!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/573.jpg)

Yep now Max is offically now an undead corpse of a man.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/574.jpg)

Whoo Hoo!  He did remember his father's advice and he is indeed playful, for a zombie.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/575.jpg)

Max: GROWL

Robin: Oh yeah, now that's sweet talk I like to hear!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/577.jpg)

Everything was going along just wonderfully.  Stephen and Robin wanted to work on their term papers, so everyone walked to the library.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/578.jpg)

Max and Lola waited outside, because Max prefers the dark.  They were whispering and giggling together and just messing about.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/579.jpg)

Lola: I picked this the other day and for some reason I just thought of you.  I want you to have it, my precious rose.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/580.jpg)

Max: For me!  That's awfully naughty isn't it, after all you are my brother's girlfriend.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/581.jpg)

Max: I'll take it.  Oh the smell of sweet success!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/582.jpg)

Robin: You cad!  How dare you take her rose.  You think I can't see those hearts!  We are through you hear me, through!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/583.jpg)

Lola: You ticket is up Beatch he and his zombie stench is mine now.  Look and weep!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/584.jpg)

I can't believe Max is undead and now having all the girls fighting over him.

Max: What's not to believe, I'm charming, gorgeous and the only zombie around.  Girls just love zombies.

Me: Shut up you!  I thought I said no third wall breakage in this legacy.

Max: Ha, I do things my way.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/585.jpg)

Stephen finished with his term paper, and remained absolutely clueless as they walked back to there property.  

Stephen: It's a great night don't you think!  The sort of night were nothing could possibly go wrong.

Max, Robin and Lola: Grumble, grumble

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/586.jpg)

I love him to much to let that continue, so Lola broke the news to him.  He reacted pretty much the way you expected he would.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/587.jpg)

Stephen: I invited you to live with me because I thought I loved you and you go for my undead brother!

Lola:  Yes it looks bad, but do you think we could still be friends?

Not bloody likely

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/590.jpg)

Max: Never mind him and his overly upright ways.  You are mine now and I'm going to do things to you and this that they don't even have definitions for!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/591.jpg)

Lola: Oh yeah baby, that's what I like to hear!  Let's go straight in and get to it.

Max: That does settle it.  I really am great, aren't I?

:jaw: OMG!!! well, i guess he's got a *little* hawtness in him XD

LOOOOL!!!  Poor Stephen!  Upstaged again by Max - and he's not even alive!  Oh well, at least Stephen has a better chance at being heir since zombies can't have babies.  But now he's going to have Middle Child Syndrome with his baby brother stealing the show.  Poor guy!

Yes another update!  Thank you Astral Fairy, 2 B Weird and Terri for your comments! :D  Sad as it seems for Stephan Lola and Max are meant to be together with the three bolts they have.  

Don't worry to much about Stephan, he's a resourceful guy and his positive outlook on life gets him through. :angel:  Wish I had the same outlook sometimes, but life goes on. :-P

Chapter 12

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/595-1.jpg)

We open with Prince Matthew demanding his bottle!  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/596.jpg)

Ah, his majesty is appeased.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/601.jpg)

Matthew: Lakeshia.

Lakeshia: He's using my real name!  Oh how smart and darling he is.  No more just plain Mom for me.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/597.jpg)

Lakeshia: Whoo hoo!  Freedom in elder hood here I come!  No more job, no more long hours studying, just free to be me!  Also to cut a rug, I can do that too!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/598.jpg)

Crackle: Dad ... what's happening?

Scamp: I think it's called a 'nervous breakdown', honey.  Stay close.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/599.jpg)

Sam got her promotion, one more step to the top of her career!  If she does than Owen's lifetime desire for 6 (censored) pets reaching the top of their career will finally be true!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/603.jpg)

Aww, you get hugs for that Sam!  

Snap: Actually I was just hoping for a long Swedish massage...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/608.jpg)

When Sam set out to work the next day all of Owen's happiness was set on her doufus shoulders.  Which is her personality ... yeah.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/609.jpg)

What will happen on this fateful day?  Will all the training, freaking hours upon hours upon hours of dog washing and bowl and bed cleaning pay off?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/604.jpg)

I suppose we all have different ... ways of handling stress.  Oh look at Owen, he's a pirate!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/606.jpg)

Owen: You know how Max died and than came back to life as a zombie?  That was pretty cool wasn't it?

Lakeshia: You know ... maybe you should take a nice long nap this afternoon.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/610.jpg)

Playing fetch that is another thing that happens on almost a constant basis in this household.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/611.jpg)

Lakeshia: Ha ha ha.  I pretended to throw it and you thought I threw it but I really I never threw it!  Dumb dog!

Scamp: You b****

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/LifeTimeWant.jpg)

Oh look Sam came back from work!  Oh Hallelujah!  Six pets at the top of their careers!  Now Owen is blessed (cursed) with eternal happiness (insanity).

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/615.jpg)

It's a very special birthday for a very special boy!  Actually Matthew is quite shy and fears parties, so this is technically just a "get together with cake."

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/616.jpg)

Whoa, let's not burn ourselves here!  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/617.jpg)

Stephen: I can't believe my little brother is growing up so quickly

Max: Bigger head means more Brrraaaiinnss!

Lakeshia: Oh I hope he is just like Max!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/619.jpg)

Aww, cute as a button.  Is he the heir?  I'm not sure yet, actually.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/622.jpg)

Matthew: And than the butterflies flew all around .... are you even listening to me?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/623.jpg)

Matthew: Oh it's so cool having an undead older brother like you!  I can't wait to tell all the kids at school you will eat them if they are mean to me.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/620.jpg)

Owen: You know how you died and than came back to life?  Congratulations for that!

Max:  Um ... thanks?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/668.jpg)

Matthew: Big brother Stephan, do you know why not one of us received our mother's skin colour, eyes or hair?

Stephen: It all has to do with recessive and dominant genes.  Dad's genes are dominant.  Though at any time one of our offspring might unexpectedly show up with Mom's.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/669.jpg)

Owen:  It looks like Stephan has the intelligence to carry this family on.  I always knew he did.    

Lakeshia: Just wait, Matthew might surprise you.  No decisions yet!

Max: Show off!  I'll find a way to reproduce, you wait and see!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/672.jpg)

Speaking of which I really was expecting some fireworks from Stephan at this non-party, party, but while he was clearly not on speaking terms with Max he wasn't on punching terms either.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/671.jpg)

Max: Rules about playing fetch with stinky dogs outside only? Ha!  Told you I make my own rules!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/673.jpg)

The next day Matthew brought a friend named Jason home from school.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/674.jpg)

Oh, my ...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/675.jpg)

Scamp: Oh No he didn't!  Not the reproducing type after all, is he.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/678.jpg)

Aw, these two are so cute together, it's always nice to have a friend.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/690.jpg)

Owen:  Whee, down you go.  You are so strong, you are going to be just fine!  Remember to study hard, go to college and never let Max push you around.  

Matthew: Oh, what are you talking about Dad?  You'll be here to help me with all that!

Owen: ...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/681.jpg)

Owen: Well my old friend, it seems our time is drawing to a close.  Amazing all that has happened isn't it?

Scamp: I would do it all again if I was privileged enough to stand by your side

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/682.jpg)

Owen: Goodnight, my sweet prince.  Grow up strong and true and always remember how proud I am of you.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/691.jpg)

The very last thing Owen did in this world, was to make sure the dogs would have good homes.  No one in their right mind would ever spend the 8 hours a day washing dogs ever again.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/692.jpg)

Grim Reaper: Aloha!  You have won an all expense paid holiday to the eternal tropics!  Congratulations!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/693.jpg)

Owen: Oh I can smell the Tequila Sunrise all ready!  No wait, my nose is disappearing, oh well it's all good.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/694.jpg)

Goodbye Owen, it's been a ride, that's for sure.  Enjoy your afterlife!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/695.jpg)

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/696.jpg)

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/697.jpg)

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/698.jpg)

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/699.jpg)

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/700.jpg)

For hour, after hour Scamp cried, long after everyone else had left the room.  I really was fine until I saw that... I refuse to believe I am the only one who ever got teary eyed over a sim.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/703.jpg)

Poor little Matthew, only 2 days into childhood and now without a father.  After that he refused to sleep in his own bed, but slept in his father's spot.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/704.jpg)

Oh a new day.  One has to remember that life must go on.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/685.jpg)

Matthew: Look at me!  I got an 'A'!  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/687.jpg)

Lakeshia: That's my boy!  You do your father proud!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/705.jpg)

To celebrate Matthew's school success, Lakeshia found a poor little dog that had been clearly horribly scared from a recent nuclear fallout at a shelter.  She decided to bring him home and name him Fred.  That or I just like playing around with funny colours.

Short chapter this time.  I'll have another one in a day or so. ;)

Aw, what a nice tribute to Owen.  And you're not the only one to get teary eyed over her founder (or other sim), I did, too when Elwyn passed.  And I had a really hard time with Almeric and Alynna.  Even though the house was packed, I cared so much for those two I had them sipping elixir for quite awhile.  In the end I had to let them pass, because there just isn't enough room to keep them all.

Owen just barely got his LTW accomplished, didn't he?  And I've tried that LTW.  Didn't sound so bad - until I tried it.  Hope I don't roll that one up again.  And I was also excited to try out the 'raise 20 puppies or kittens' want - never...ever...again.

What a pretty little doggy Fred is.  Will he be the father of the next generation?

Matthew is a cutie!  It's so exciting to see who the heir will be.

This was the bit that got me:

Not to mention the pic of Scamp afterwards :(

Aww, thanks so much for caring Astral and Sadie. *hugs*  I always adore seeing comments from you two.  

I didn't think the 6 pets LTW would be difficult either Astral, but I was wrong, just because of repetitive nature of it all.  It might be easier with cats, I'm not sure.  I did attempt the 20 puppies or kittens once in another family, but wasn't able to finish that one unfortunately.  I just hope I don't roll it again, because heavens that was tough.  Yes Fred is the new step in the doggy legacy.  I couldn't resist becoming so colourful. :D

Thanks again you two for reading and commenting. :)  It's nice to know someone is still reading this nonsense. *lol*  

Constructive criticism is always appreciated and accepted too. :)

Chapter 13

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/706.jpg)

So with the over drama of the close quarters Robin, Max's former girlfriend, decided she had enough and search the classified for her own space.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/707.jpg)

Stephan, the only person left on speaking terms with her followed her outside.

Stephan: You know you really don't have to go ...

Robin: Yes I really kind of do.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/708.jpg)

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/709.jpg)

As the result of the huge insurance policy Stephan and Max received from Owen they were able to make some nice additions to their little rented space.  They added a hot tub and a huge garden.  Will the joy of growing help these two estranged brothers come together?  Fingers crossed!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/710.jpg)

Stephan is a popular kind of guy.  There is always plenty of students of all sorts over at their place.  Of course I am sure the hot tub helped with that a bit.  Not one though managed to give him that extra spark.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/711.jpg)

Max: Here's a sweet kiss for my sweet one!

Lola: Hmm, zombie morning breath, someone should bottle that.  They could easily make a fortune.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/712.jpg)

Yay Max the flying zombie is about to have belly hurt.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/713.jpg)

A very important part of being a girl magnet alive or dead, is keeping that body strong.  Still not speaking to each other!

Stephan: Excuse me, I just noticed you noticing me and I just wanted to give you notice that I noticed you too.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/715.jpg)

Christina: Now that's quite a mouthful you have there.  Why don't we go back to your place and you can tell me more.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/717.jpg)

Stephan: Now tell me, how was Heaven when you left it?  Oh and nice bikini.

Christina: And I'm not one to ever resist a man in a wetsuit.  Heaven was fine thank you, but currently being here is not so bad either.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/718.jpg)

Max: Wait, don't pull to hard, you'll hurt the plant.  Weed nicely like I do.

Stephan: *Grunts*

Max:  Nice looking girl I've seen you with.  What's her name?  Christina?

Stephan: *Growls*

Max: You really like that wet suit, don't you.  Just mind the chaffing.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/721.jpg)

Stephan: Just promise me one thing.  You will, never ever develop a sudden urge to slum it with a zombie and than I will be all yours.

Christina: What the undead Don Juan over there?  Don't worry baby, I only have eyes for you.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/722.jpg)

Ah yes here is a small sampling of Max's harem.  Sorry to say that he isn't doing particularly well at University, but he has much more important things to do, like discussing various hard hat fetishes.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/726.jpg)

Oh baby, you do touch me so fine!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/794.jpg)

Max: I'm sorry, I really am Mate.  Won't do it again, I promise that.  Let's be friends again.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/795.jpg)

Stephan: You are my brother ... I'll forgive, but I doubt I'll ever forget.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/727.jpg)

On rocky ground Max and Stephan became friends.  Let's hope this time it lasts.  I'm keeping a close eye on Max from now on.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/729.jpg)

Max and Lola have made a little Uni life together.  Life with a zombie can be difficult however.  For example when he adds special 'seasoning' to your food.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/730.jpg)

Zaps you for no particular reason just for laughs.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/796.jpg)

Spends a huge amount of time day dreaming about brains.  Than leaves the house for no reason and doesn't return for hours ...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/732.jpg)

Smashes you with a snowball every chance he gets!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/789.jpg)

Spy on you in the shower.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/790.jpg)

Though that is a bit hot actually, good for the winter.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/733.jpg)

At least he's good for keeping the dishes clean!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/731.jpg)

Lola: Oh Max you are incorrigible!  Never change!

Max: Aw, you really think so?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/800.jpg)

It just goes to show, just about anyone can learn to tolerate a whole heck of a lot.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/736.jpg)

Back at the house, Scamp spends sometime with the youngest of the Wellgate boys.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/737.jpg)

Scamp: Quite honestly I can say that just resisting the urge to catch a hand never gets old.  I'm feeling my age though, yes sir, feeling my age.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/741.jpg)

Grim Reaper: Wasn't I just here two days ago?  Well boy, it's time to go. Any last words?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/743.jpg)

Scamp:  If there is one thing I'd liked to be remember for is that dogs need respect for they know more than they say.  Soon I'll be with Owen again and that is joy enough for me.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/745.jpg)

Goodbye Scamp

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/746.jpg)

Poor Gloria.  It seems there is more than one widow in this house now.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/748.jpg)

Matthew doing well, getting good grades and keeping to his quiet ways.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/747.jpg)

He had Jason almost everyday just to play ball and pal around.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/753.jpg)

Created and than

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/756.jpg)

Destroyed the Parthenon.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/760.jpg)

Fly my pretty, fly!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/762.jpg)

Fortunately someone is keeping up with the family tree!  Yummy love those oranges!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/749.jpg)

Still he sneaks into his mother's bedroom every night.  Sometime it's hard to be alone.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/758.jpg)

Sam: Now just what are you?  I've never seen a creature like you before in my life!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/757.jpg)

Fred: I'm a love machine baby and I'm here to rock your world!

Sam: Oh la la!  Did I mention that I am a film star?

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/763.jpg)

Lakeshia is enjoying her retirement plenty.

Lakeshia: All of you can try and beat me, but I'll have you know I maxed out the cooking skill and I've got the moves to prove it. Whoo hoo!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/764.jpg)

The judge seemed to really like her chocolate cake.  Of course who can refuse chocolate cake!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/766.jpg)

Not him!  Lakeshia wins!  Could for her, all of her hard work and all.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/767.jpg)

Lakeshia: Oh yeah, oh yeah, raise the roof, I pawn all of you fools!  All the rest of you do nothing but burn toast!  Look and weep!

Oh, well now we know where Max gets it from ...

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/768.jpg)

Meanwhile Matthew and Jason continue to be really, really adorable together.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/771.jpg)

Matthew: Look at me!  I can turn the world upside down!

Jason: Yay go you!  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/775.jpg)

Birthday time again!  

Matthew: What should I wish for ... hmmm

Max: *sniff, sniff* Hmm, I smell fresh brain!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/776.jpg)

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/778.jpg)

Ahhh!  He's looks just like Max!!  No wait, not quite, his eyes are slightly different ... I think?  Well his personality is completely different at any rate, so there's that.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/779.jpg)

Yay for sudden growth spurts.  By sheer coincidence (and the new freetime option) Jason grew up at the same time!  Time to check out those muscles.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/780.jpg)

Now that's a shocker ... well probably not.  Best birthday present ever!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/781.jpg)

Eventful day!  The puppies were also born at the same time as Max and Jason grew up.  One boy named Elmo and two girls, Daisy and Tulip.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/784.jpg)

Aww, Elmo is my favourite with his cute little blue bandit mask over his eyes.    

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/782.jpg)

Matthew: Look what else I got for my birthday ... Now all I need is a trusting guinea pig.  Ah, here's one!

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/783.jpg)

Jason: You sure you know what you are doing?

Matthew: You can trust me, I'm a professional!

Jason: A professional what?  You only just got this now!

Matthew: Shhhh

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/785.jpg)

Hmm, not so bad.  Maybe it would be better if Matthew was a bit less enthusiastic with the scissors.  

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d162/erica_jean698/Wellgate/786.jpg)

But Jason liked it well enough to fall instantly in love.  Aww, sweet young love!

Coming up Next ... Apartment Life!

*claps* well done! Have a cookie!
Grr, I hate Max...
But I love this story!

Wow, looks like it's down to Stephen to carry on the legacy then... although maybe we saw it coming ;) Still, they look cute together :)

And Scamp joins Owen in Heaven, aww :( I must admit though, it's not every day the pets outlive the humans ;)

Well, there you go then. Cool that Stephan found someone.
Else.

I really like this story and I'm just wondering if you'll be updating any time soon?

I still don't get it what legacy actually means; I have read the rules but-don't you have to be on the empty lot for beginning, and, how do I get it, it's playing ordinary sims game without any cheats and just following your sim and what he does and comprehend it in story; this is not related to this story directly but on legacy in general; and how do you collect the points-do you have to count them or..? I'm very confused.

Um... actually, yeah, you do, I just didn't want to say anything :shh: Have a proper look through the site; not just the rules, but also the FAQ, old rules, etc. It's all down there, where you earn/lose points, etc.

Of course, if you're not playing for points you can afford to bend/break a few ;)

Wow, I just read through like 5 chapters and all I can say is:
First, I never really liked Max. I actually thought he became better looking when he became a zombie, but still not overly attractive for me.
Second, I always like Stephen even with his interesting nose.
Third, I LOVE the dog family.  Definitely awesome dogs! :D
Fourth, Matthew is all right.  I like him well enough, but once again he reminds me of Max so... yeah, not all that great for me.  
Fifth, still lovin the legacy!
