And it's going to get worse too!

I'm using a mod for the alien skin by the way. I'm using summersong86 alien skin as default: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=201778. It's not a very dominant green, but still very exotic. Because the pollination technician Maxis created is so ugly, I also use a mod for that as well: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=71852.

--- CHAPTER 7 --- Double Trouble

Back in his bachelor pad, Don was preparing himself for the difficult task of giving birth. A miracle he never imagined nor hoped he would ever experience.
 


“Ooooh, it’s coming out. Oh my plumbbob, where is it coming out!” Giving birth was the most painful event Don had ever experienced in his life. He pushed and pushed, but there just seemed no end to the terrible pain. Don couldn’t believe his eyes when it was over. Two babies! Two little golden green babies!


 
Don took another good look at the children he had just given birth to. He had to admit they were awfully cute, despite their strange skin color. He couldn’t help but feel proud when he looked into their big shiny black eyes. “Oh yes, daddy produced some pretty babies, didn’t he!”

Don decided to never ever let anyone know about his little abduction incident. He would just tell everybody these kids were Brandi’s and he was so kind as to offer her and her family a home in these rough times. And Brandi, well he would just stick by his story that he knocked up some woman and she decided to leave the kids on his doorstep. And if he was wrong and Brandi wouldn’t show up, then he would claim he adopted them from some far away country. It was the latest trend amongst the stars so that story shouldn’t be that incredible too.



Brandi decided to accept Don’s offer just in time. Don was having a pretty hard time taking care of his newborns and getting enough sleep. Brandi and her two sons moved in less than two weeks after Don had given birth. But by then Don already nearly collapsed of exhaustion. Brandi wasn’t moving in with Don out of the kindness of her heart. Brandi’s son Beau had recently grown into a child and her son Dustin had his eyes set on Sim State University ever since his girlfriend Angela talked about going there. Brandi wanted to give her children the best and that took a lot of simoleans. Simoleans she didn’t have, but Don, he was loaded.


 
When Brandi first saw the twins she protested a bit. “Two babies, I thought you said I had to take care of one baby. And what about their skin? It looks so strange, are you sure they are healthy?” Don had to use all of his schmoozing skills to convince Brandi to stay. “Actually, it’s a hereditary skin disorder. You know, like Albino’s and Michael Jackson. Yeah, and it’s called, uhm, Melanin Chlorosis. Yes, they’ve got Melanin Chlorosis! From their mother’s side of course and it’s extremely rare. But they don’t need any special medication or stuff. They’re perfectly healthy, just look at them smile. And their mother didn’t tell me she gave birth to twins either. But I just couldn’t send them away, now could I? Just look at their cute little faces. I decided to call them Rufus and Rayne, what do you think of that?” Don knew exactly how to trigger Brandi’s mother instinct and in the end she reluctantly gave in.


 
After a couple of days the Broke family was completely settled in. And Brandi hated to admit it but she actually enjoyed herself looking after Don’s strange newborn sons. They were just so cute. Brandi just finished feeding the twins when felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Her baby wanted out and wanted out NOW! But no one was  answering Brandi’s cries for help.

Dustin and Beau had no trouble adjusting to their new surroundings. Don had bought the latest gaming equipment to make sure the boys would feel right at home. While Brandi was giving birth, her kids were too busy fighting off alien invaders to even notice their mother’s screams.


 
And where was Don? Well, now his alien offspring was in Brandi’s care, he had his hands free for more important “business”. Yes, Don was back to his usual womanizing ways. When Don found out Dina had become a widow, he knew there was a way back into the Goth family. This could be his ultimate revenge on Mortimer. He knew he had to wait a while to make sure no one would think of Dina as anything less than a grieving widow. And of course he wouldn’t have made the best impression with his growing abdomen.


 
But the right opportunity arrived very quickly for Don after Brandi moved in. Dina didn’t like it one bit that a woman had moved into Don’s home. So she decided it was time to take action and Dina invited Don to Victoria and Rex’s birthday. Don was sure his flirtations wouldn’t be refused when he found Dina dressed in a very skimpy outfit.


 
Pretty soon, Don didn’t stop over at his bachelor pad anymore but went straight over to Dina’s after work. He had found out that while he was having birthday cake at Dina’s house, Brandi had given birth to twins as well. Four screaming, hungry and stinky babies in the house were just too much for Don. He much rather spend his time with the sophisticated and glamorous Dina Goth. At least her kids were already potty trained.

“Mortimer, eat your heart out. You’re gone and I’m here in your house with your beautiful grieving widow!” Don could hardly suppress a little chuckle. After a little rough patch, things were looking pretty good for him now.


 
How will Brandi cope with four little babies needing her attention? Will Don get his ultimate revenge on Mortimer and end up with rich widow Dina? And how will Nina react to these new developments?

When "hot dates" are involved, Don would do anything. This won't be the last time this character flaw will get him into trouble!

Hello everybody,
thanks so much for your kind remarks. It really helps me sticking with this story. So, here's another update! This chapter and the next chapter will still use some of my older pics, but the following chapters will use big and shiny ones!


--- CHAPTER 6 --- Intergalactic Love

Don’s divorce to Cassandra didn’t hurt his career at the hospital. He already  used the Goth Family connections for what they were worth before the divorce and reached a comfortable new starting position in the Pleasantview Medical community. It did mean however, that Don had to work even harder than before in order to get that next new shiny promotion.



“Breath, frammit, breath!” Every spare time Don could find between work and dating, he used to increase his mechanical skills with the dummy and  his logical skills with the telescope. Don knew that the next promotion was within his grasp.


 
“Why am I staring through a telescope? I could be having another hot date by now. The things I do for my job!” Don wasn’t a big fan of using the telescope. According to Don, the nighttime, was the perfect time for some more social activities. Like lounging in the hot tub with some beautiful girls, sipping champagne. But while Don was letting his mind wander, he wasn’t paying any attention to his surroundings and  a strange light was slowly singling him out.


 
Suddenly, Don felt a change in gravitational pull. “I knew I should have eaten something, I’m feeling so light headed. I better go and stuff my face”  Don tried to break free from the telescope and head straight to the fridge for a late night snack. But he couldn’t. His feet were being pulled up into the air and he had to hang on to the telescope with all his strength.

“What the… Oh no, could Nina be up to something again? This can’t be happening, I’m too young and pretty to be taken away. Noooooooooo!”
 


An entire day and night passed before Don was returned to Pleasantview. Early in the morning the alien ship hovered in front of his bachelor pad and with a big thrust he was thrown out. Don felt a strange mixture of relieve and the bitter feeling of being used.


 
“Frammit, my butt hurts. Must have landed pretty hard on it! Don barely remembered anything of his strange encounter, but he did feel a little strange. Afraid that he might have caught some kind of extraterrestrial flu, Don decided it was best to take a little sick leave.


 
First, Don just felt very, very tired. Then after a little while, he had trouble keeping his food in and he got terrible mood swings. When after a little while, his super tight abs changed into a little belly, he knew he was in big trouble.

“Oh my plumbbob!  What am I going to do. This will ruin my reputation! And I can’t raise a little baby, I don’t have the time. What about my career, and even worse what about my hot dates!”

Don knew he would have to come up with some kind of solution. “I need a nanny. Not just any old crappy nanny, I need someone who can keep her mouth shut. My reputation is too important. Hmm, I need someone desperate, someone with excellent mothering skills, someone I can claim is the actual mother of this child. Yes, I need someone pregnant and very, very broke!”
 


“Hello? Who is this? What? Your making me an offer I can’t refuse? You need me to do what? Brandi couldn’t believe her ears when she was called by Don Lothario, the most notorious womanizer of Pleasantview. She wasn’t surprised that somehow he got stuck with a kid. It was just a matter of time before one of his girlfriends would make him responsible for his “mistakes”. But she just couldn’t believe that he wanted her to raise the little one.


 
Brandi was still finding it very hard to believe what Don was offering her. “So, if I understand correctly, you want me to raise your child and pretend I had twins? And in exchange you will give me, my two sons and my unborn child a place in your home and pay for all the expenses I make for raising my kids properly? You’ll pay for all college expenses? Well, I need some time to think about this. This is a big decision. Yes, I know. You already told me you’ll pay all our expenses. I’ll call you back when I’ve made a decision. Yes, very soon.”

Is Brandi desperate enough to accept Don’s offer? Can Don become a perfect father or will he just fall back into his old habits? And how will Don’s many girlfriends react to a woman moving into his bachelor pad?

Diesel2370, Tyrese is such an adorable toddler. His cuteness has no end. Is that 3d last pic dancing or a tantrum? Either way he looks very sweet.
Charlotte, your sim's genetics worked really well on these kiddies.
Whippedpancake, your Margot looks adorable. I really love redheads!
Lewisb40, can't wait to see how Tione looks when he's a toddler! That last pic looks a bit dangerous with her thumb through his head!

Tenshii-Akari, that's some weird bug! I haven't had any problems with Ivy Copur yet, but I'm definitely keeping my eye on that girl from now on!

There definitely will be more twins in this soap opera, but you will have to wait and see if Nina is going to be one of the "lucky".

Nina's Hair is Corinne's recolor of Bipsouille Hair called "Sweet & Spikey" and you can find it at inSIM: http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=39727&highlight=sweet+spikey

She has a couple of very nice sets. I can definitely recommend them!

Another update! Here's chapter 5. Hope you'll enjoy this.

--- CHAPTER 5 --- Nasty Girls

The Pleasant twins, Angela and Lillith, took their parents break up pretty hard. But both expressed their pain in a different way. Even though they have similar looks, the girls’ characters were like day and night.



Lillith became angrier than she already was. How could her father leave her here all alone with these two freaks! Her mother, Mary-Sue, never cared for anything that wasn’t perfect. Lillith was never good enough for here. But high-school popularity queen Angela had always been mommy’s angel.

“Look at her standing there, little miss perfect, all teary eyed! Your such an actress Angela. You never cared about Dad. You’re probably just happy that he’s gone. So now you can go hang out more with DUSTIN!”

With her voice all hoarse from crying, Angela reacted angrily at Lillith's harsh words. “Shut up Lillith, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Leave Dustin out of this, you’re so STUPID!”

“Who are you calling stupid! WHACK!” Lillith smacked her hand straight into Angela’s face.



Lillith’s temper got the best of her again and soon the two siblings were pulling each other's hair and screaming their lungs out. With all the noise the girls were making, it was no surprise that Mary-Sue woke up.

“ENOUGH! Lillith behave yourself! For the love of plumbbob, haven’t I suffered enough yet. If you continue this young lady, you leave me no choice but to send you to Strangetown Millitary School! Far, far away from all your friends. Although I doubt you have any!”



Lillith new better than to tempt her mother in this condition. Mary-Sue was still recovering from a mental breakdown. She stood there silently but Lillith really wanted to scream that she did have a friend. A boyfriend even. But she also didn’t want to risk losing him, not Dirk. So she kept quiet for now. She knew it would only be for a little while. Dirk had told her he was accepted for a scholarship at Sim State University. At that moment she knew she wanted nothing more than to go to college with Dirk. Her parents were rich enough, so if she could just keep her grades at the minimum C level and didn’t push too many of her mother’s buttons, sweet freedom would be within her grasp.

Mary-Sue had a hard time recovering from her mental break down. She was very tense and yelled at everybody around her for no good reason. She needed to stay calm, so she really couldn’t deal with two troubled teenage girls that had it in for each other. In the end, she really didn't see any other solution. Mary-Sue desperately needed help from her parents.



Luckily, Herb and Coral Oldie were more than glad to help their daughter through these rough times. Mary-Sue was a bit of a wild child in her own teen years so the Oldies had enough experience. Lillith really seemed to react well another father figure in her life. Herb and Lillith soon became the best of friends and she actually managed to stay out of trouble. For the time being the girls even stopped fighting. The girls still didn't like each other. But with the promise that she would tutor Lillith, Lillith kept Angela’s nightly escapades with Dustin a secret.




In a different part of the neighborhood Nina Caliente was really enjoying herself. She finally had the house to herself now Dina was married to Mortimer.



“Oh yeah, I’m so hot! Watch out Pleasantview, Nina is going to party tonight!” As usual, Nina was admiring herself in the mirror before going out. Nina loved being single and partying from dusk till dawn. Marying some old geezer for money was not Nina’s type of thing. Nina lived her life to the max with her motto “Eat it while it’s still hot!” firmly in mind. So every night Nina shows off her very slim and firm body with skintight clothing and exotic dance moves in many of the Pleasantview Downtown clubs.



When she got tired of dancing, she would go for the main course of the evening. “Oh yeah, baby, I feel like hunting for snake tonight!”



And when she got tired of schmoozing with the guys, she would play a nasty game of poker with the girls and of course catch up with the latest Pleasantview gossip.



The Diva couldn’t wait to ask Nina about her latest adventure. “So have you caught Don Lothario yet? I heard you were the reason that Cassie threw him out. He’s a pretty good catch, being an up and coming gynecologist and all”

Nina answered with the usual smirk on her face when someone asked if she would commit herself to one man. “Hah, I’ve got him wrapped around my little finger. They always come back for more. But hey, you know me, I'm like a wild horse that likes to run free. I haven’t met a man yet that can tame me!”

She knew Nina better than that but the Diva had a bad hand of cards and tried to throw Nina of her balance. “Common don’t you dream about a nice big wedding, with a huge cake and a pretty white dress? Her friend Andrea couldn’t help but blurt it out. “Yeah and start a family of your own, with cute little girls called Tina, Gina and Mina!”



Now all the girls were laughing. But Nina had too much poker experience to let her guard down. “Hah, me having kids, that nightmare has as much chance of happening as you girls winning this game from me! Now show me the money!”



Nina did win the poker game that night, but little did she know that her worst fear was about to come true as well. “Hmmm, that partying sure makes me hungry!”

Lucy the maid couldn’t help but notice that Nina didn’t fit in her usual outfit anymore. “Hey Nina, are you okay. You seem to be hungry all the time lately. You don’t have a little bun in the oven, now do you?” Nina almost choked to death after hearing Lucy’s remarks. She had been gaining a lot of weight lately. And if she was right, she knew only one man could be the father.



After a couple of weeks it became painfully obvious. With hormones raging through her body, Nina was hungry, tired and needed to go to bathroom all the time. And loosing the lean mean firm body she was always so proud of, made her very, very, very pissed off. She wanted revenge and she wanted it now. So she decided she would call one of her connections back in good old Strangetown.

“No, nothing as drastic as last time. He has to come back to Pleasantview. I want him to suffer the same humiliation as I have, waggling around with a big bloated tummy!”

Will Lillith and Angela make it through college with their high-school sweetheart's? Is Mary-Sue able to forget the past and forgive Daniel for what he has done? Can Nina settle down and raise a little family of her own without the social helper showing up? And who is she getting back at?

Thanks for all the nice comments!

I'm actually kind of a number nerd so writing a sims 2 story is something completely different for me. Finally, the right side of my brain is being used after several decades of total starvation
I'm also not an English native speaker. So don't be surprised when you see some changes in old chapters. And don't be shy with comments. I can always use a couple of good pointers.

I'm back! Chapter 4 is a rather small update and was at first part of chapter 3, but I decided for two separate chapters to add a bit more tension

I hope you enjoy chapter 4!

--- CHAPTER 4 --- Intermezzo

Mortimer loved to play the piano. It made him feel so peaceful. But not this morning! During an early morning piano concerto for his pregnant wife, Dina gave an awful shriek.



“ IEEEAAAAH! This hurts like hell Mortimer! Get it out, get it out!”

Dina never felt such pain in her life before. Of course she never thought it would be easy to push something the size of a large watermelon through a hole the size of a small orange, but this was ridiculous. There was a good reason for the incredible pain Dina was in, as a total surprise to everyone she gave birth to not one, but two little babies!



Dina was very pleased with herself. Two babies! This meant more inheritance for her and her offspring. Dina always felt Bella’s shadow over her marriage with Mortimer. Luckily, she convinced Mortimer to get rid of the portrait in the master bedroom. But still Dina could feel Bella’s presence in Goth Mansion. She swore she could hear Bella’s voice sometimes and even thought she saw some pieces of furniture moving late at night. Eventually the newlyweds moved into another home. Mortimer did everything to please his new wife even if it meant he had to leave the home he raised his children with Bella in.

Now that Dina had given birth to two of Mortimer's children, baby girl Victoria and baby boy Rex, she knew she was finally on equal footing with Bella. She knew that all of Mortimer’s simoleans were within her grasp. Victory was very, very close.  Cassandra already had chosen her own path and Alexander would be leaving for college this summer. Bella had lost and Dina would win. Soon it would all be hers.



But soon might come sooner than expected. Mortimer had just put his two brand new babies into their cribs when tragedy struck. the Grim Reaper showed up to collect Mortimer’s soul.

“Your time has come Mortimer Goth!” The Grim Reaper spoke with a deep and commanding voice.

Mortimer couldn’t believe his eyes. “No, no, you must be wrong. It can’t be my time yet. I just became a father! Just look at these adorable babies. I can’t leave them now”



“I don’t make mistakes Mr. Goth. You have lived your live far into old age and you will come with me NOW.” Even without a face the Grim Reaper could give a stern look.

Mortimer tried to wrestle the Grim Reaper for more time, but it was no use. The Grim Reaper came at the worst of times. Dina was still resting from the long and painful childbirth. Without anyone to plea for him, Mortimer had no choice but to go with the Grim Reaper. Reluctantly Mortimer followed into the darkness.

Back in his old bachelor pad, Dina’s former lover and Mortimers ex son-in-law, Don Lothario, gradually picked up his usual lifestyle again.



Even during his marriage with Cassandra, Don didn't throw away his little black book and now he was single again he could make good use of it. There were plenty of names he could pick from. Hmm, Let’s see, who shall I pick? Melissa, Sandra, Goopy, Selena or….?  After everything that has happened, could she be ready for a date with “ the Don”  again?



Don wasn’t a man that asked too many question about his own actions. If he saw it and he liked it, he went for it! Don’s object of desire didn’t decline the invitation and so Don set up a date at a community lot. While his date was in the clothing booth trying on some clothes, Don followed her in to “check” whether the new outfit was to his liking.



“Oh yeah, I’m so good! Hmmm, is my hair still in place? You never know when you might run into another hottie” After his exciting date Don left for his home feeling very satisfied about his seduction skills.

Will Dina make a good mother, raising twins on her own? Will Alexander and Cassandra be strong enough to battle their stepmother over the inheritance? And who was Don’s secret date?

Found out in the next chapters of Pleasantview Soapbox!

Just wait and see. There will be another update pretty soon

Thanks! The hot stuff percentage in my neighbourhood just rocketed with your new additions

Thanx so much for sharing. I had my eye on him for some time now. I think I have a few pretties in my game that wouldn't mind a dream date or two with this guy
