Can This Marriage be Saved?
 
Meet the couple:
 
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/cass1.png)
Cassandra Goth 36 year old Research Scientist. Cassie as she prefers to be called is rich, successful and completely miserable. Cassie has caught her husband Don of only three years cheating on him with a local hairdresser.
Don has asked Cassie to forgive him and give him another chance. They have both agreed to marriage counseling as a last resort before ending the relationship once and for all.
Cassie has just found out that she is three months pregnant and in interest of her and Don’s child has agreed to receiving therapy.
 
Therapist says...
Cassandra is drowning in a sea of doubts and despair. While she says she is willing to try to work on this marriage trust is going to be a very difficult issue for her.
 
Meet Don Lothario.
 
Don is an Intern at the Local Hospital. He is very goodlooking and charming. He has had a reputation as a ladies man for years. He is 39 and admits he has a problem keeping on his pants with the ladies. He swears he tried to be faithful to Cassandra Goth but felt lonely and ignored by his wife.
 
She says….
"I need help my marriage is very bad. Everyone tells me I should leave my husband but I can't seem to let him go, even though he is breaking my heart
 
"Do you want to leave him?"
 
"I don't know. He is the only man I have ever loved. I have been in love with Don since I was a teenager."
 
"Cassandra? May I call you Cassandra?"
"Please call me Cassie."
 
"OK Cassie tell me how you met your husband Don."
 
"OK well...the first time I saw Don was in the local bookstore. I have always been a bookworm so I basically haunted the store going there each afternoon after school and staying well into the late night until they closed.
 
I would buy so many books my Father jokingly said he should buy me the store and let me run it since it was my favorite haunt anyway.
 
I was not beautiful like my Mother Bella. I was not interested in business like my Father. I did love science. I read everything and anything I could get my hands on.
 
My junior year in high school I was enrolled in college part-time taking science classes all they would allow me. By the time I finished high school I was accepted into an internship program at the university and had enough credits to qualify as a sophomore. The fact that my Father Mortimer Goth was funding the Universities Science department might have had something to do with the fact that the University was only too happy to accommodate all my scholastic plans.
 
During my internship was when I first saw Don. Our Lab was located on Pleasantville Hospital. We were running a research program on genetically related illnesses.
Don was a resident there at the time. I had seen him always surrounded by gorgeous young nurses flirting shamelessly with him.
 
He had already acquired a reputation as a ladies man. Everybody wanted Don. It seemed he was only too happy to service all the ladies.
 
One day I was in my favorite bookstore just reading through some of the new arrivals when I noticed Don over at the magazine isle. I couldn't take my eyes off of him. He was so good looking. He must have felt my eyes boring into him because he looked up and met my stare.
 
I was very flustered. I immediately looked away. But Don went right up to me and in the most overused line ever asked me "Do I know you? I am sure I have seen you somewhere." he flashed me his amazingly white teeth and to say I was flattered by him even talking to me was an understatement.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/snapshot_adae8020_0db0f51d.png)
 
By this time, my Mother Bella had already abandoned my Father and our family. She had basically dropped off the planet. My Father's humiliation was very public and painful. There were many wild rumors going around that she was dead that she had run off with some young lover.
 
I had withdrawn even more into myself and my studies. I was very lonely and talking to my father was difficult as he was usually gone on business or in a foul mood. So the fact that a gorgeous man was interested in me at all boosted my ego tremendously.
 
 
I must say I noticed Don became interested in me once he knew I was Mortimer's daughter. But as time went by I tucked that thought away fooling myself into thinking he only wanted me.
My Father doubts about Don were a source of friction between us he constantly pressured me to cut him loose as he would say. “Cassie find yourself some smart Scientist like yourself that will appreciate your mind and you!” I pretty much ignored Dad’s constant warnings of Don being an ambitious gigolo.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/snapshot_6dae6a73_2db0f1fb.png)
 
 
We had been dating for about two years when Don began to pressure me to marry him. At first I was deliriously happy but then I got cold feet. I was worried what if all he wanted was my Father's money? I just didn't know if I could tame Don Lothario enough to be a good husband.
 
There was also the nagging doubts about his fidelity while we dated. There were times when I couldn't find Don. He would just be gone and his cell would go right into voice mail. He would explain it as he fell asleep on the couch or in the Doctor's lounge but in my heart I knew he was sleeping around on me.
 
I suppose since I never caught him it didn't seem real. So when I heard about him deflowering Nina Caliente and also banging her sister Dina from Brandy Broke their cousin I chose to not believe her.
 
Brandy was a waitress at the dinner I frequently ate at during my internship it was right across the street from the hospital. She told me I should dump Don Lothario that he was a creep and was cheating on me not just with her cousins but with other women in town as well.
 
I told Brandy I was not interested in her gossip and stayed away from the diner. It was my way of sweeping Don's indiscretions under the rug.
 
Brandy Broke had looked at me hard and told me before I left. "He is going to hurt you girl and you are going to eat it because you think he is gold but not everything that glitter's is gold! she hollered as I quickly left the diner. I will never forget her look that day she thought me pathetic.
 
In a way I was pathetic. I wanted Don and I chose to not to see what he was like I only saw the Don I wanted to see.
 
Right around the time Don was pressuring me to marry him. My Father began seeing Dina Caliente. He had been truly alone since my Mother had left him.
I was completely consumed by my dislike and distrust of Dina Caliente. She was for one younger than me the whole idea was disgusting to me my father swooning over a trampy Caliente girl.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/mortymine.png)
 
She was playing my father for every dime. He took her on expensive vacations, bought her fancy clothes and to my disgust bought her a tacky huge engagement ring.
I knew he was supporting Dina and her sister. They were both hairdressers but didn't work anywhere. Not only did I suspect they had slept with Don but Nina Caliente was spreading rumors that she was having Don's baby.
 
I actually confronted Don with this particular gossip. He laughed and said if Nina was pregnant which he doubted anyone could be the father they would have to DNA all of Pleasantville to be sure.
He said he had a one night stand with Nina before we met and that had been the end of it because she was a harlot and he was afraid of diseases.
 
Dina's grip on my father was iron clad she used her youth and beauty to make a complete fool of him. Before I knew it Father was announcing their plans to be married.
It was one of the worst days of my life. I found her presence to be unbearable. Not only was she an obvious gold digger but she was spoiled and impossible to please. It sickened me to watch my father kissing her butt and catering to her every ridiculous whim.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/mortyoldfool.png)
 
It was after my Father's marriage to Dina that both she and her sister moved into our family home. I couldn't stand living with the two sisters who had now taken over our home. My poor brother Alex was sent away to camp and with him out of the way and me always at work those two made themselves very much at home.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/mortdina.png)
 
It was at this point that I accepted Don's proposal. I felt taking a chance on Don had to be better than watching my father be Dina's fool. So we had a small ceremony in the garden with only close family present.
 
My wedding day was lovely Don looked so gorgeous and I looked ok I suppose the groom was lovely and the bride was at least looking groomed. Don and I said our own vows and it was beautiful. I felt loved that day. He looked deeply into my eyes and said to me “Cassie I promise that I will love you best of anyone on this earth. No one is like you I respect you and I cannot believe you love me back. I don’t want any other woman but you to be Mrs. .Lothario.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/donido.png)
 
I had not allowed Don to touch me before our wedding. It wasn't that I didn't want to. God knows I desired him very much. I was just afraid that he would treat me differently once we were intimate. Don is an intense passionate lover.
Making love with him made me feel unnerved. I couldn't relax because all I could think about was did he do this with Nina? or Dina? or god knows who?
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/honeymoon.png)
 
 
Don was not a patient lover he wanted me to respond and quickly. It was awhile before I was able to respond to him. To be honest because he was so concerned with his performance and my own many times I would fake satisfaction just so it would be over. Marathon sex was just not romantic to me. I wanted to feel loved and appreciated and Don is just good at getting it on.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/honeymoon2.png)
 
 
Cassie do you frequently fake during lovemaking with Don?
 
No. Not anymore truthfully we haven’t made love since I got pregnant I been sick and well catching in bed with Nina of course didn’t help make me want it.
 
Tell me about the day you discovered Don’s affair..
 
OK well…It was our anniversary. It had been three years since our wedding. I was feeling really sick I suppose nausea from the pregnancy but at the time I thought it was the flu. I was working that day and Don was off.
We were in our own place we had purchased a nice townhouse. I was feeling happier because I didn’t have to see Dina spending Dad’s money and pouting when she didn’t get her way.
I decided to surprise Don by coming home early from work. I went straight into the storage closet downstairs and got my wedding gown on and put it on. The house was dark and too quiet.
I figured Don was asleep upstairs I would wake him for surprise lovemaking he loved that spontaneous sex always made Don happy. Except when I flicked on the lights in the room Don was not alone right there in our own bed was Nina Caliente and my husband getting ready to make love.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/doncaught.png)
 
 
Don was shocked to see me and was trying to get me to calm down but it was a terrible scene. He apologized over and over. He tried to tell me that I was so cold to him never wanting to make love and Nina came over and forced herself on him. That he was sorry to please forgive him.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/doncaught2.png)
 
I lost it that night. I slapped Nina Caliente hard and threw her out of my house in her underwear. She had the nerve to be arrogant and say that Don loved her that he would always go back to her when he got tired of his rich frigid wife.
 
 
 
Can This Marriage be Saved?
He Says….
 
I don’t know why I did it. Frankly Nina Caliente is one of the stupidest women I know. She has been throwing herself at me since she was a teen. I swear I was faithful to Cassie in the beginning.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/ninacow.png)
 
I do love her. She is the smartest woman I know. She has a gentle way about her that truthfully even when she was in pigtails and a geeky student I fell hopelessly in love with her.
Cassie is frigid. Me Don Lothario married to a frigid woman. That’s our story. Cassie never wants to make love. Then when she finally does give it to me I can tell she is stiff and uncomfortable.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/frigidcass.png)
 
If Cassie got some kind of sex therapy maybe using a surrogate female of course we could be happy.
Are you suggesting a sex surrogate for Mrs. Lothario?
Well I don’t know that’s not my area. As long as it was a woman and I could participate then I would be ok with that.
 
Doctor. Lothario may I call you Don?
Yeah sure.
 
I don’t believe Mrs. Lothario is frigid.
I don’t believe she needs that type of therapy.
 
Well what do you think is wrong with her then? Do you think she prefers women?
 
No. I do not.
I believe Mrs. Lothario does not have enough trust in you to relax and open up to you. By having an affair with another woman you have not made that any easier for her.
 
I…messed up I love Cassie what can I do? We are having a baby I need her to forgive me. Just tell me what to do and I will do it.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/lovecassie.png)
I have always felt Cassie was too good for me. She is everything I am not a genius so smart. She is always looking at me with disappointment in her eyes. I want her to be proud of me. But the truth is I’m just a mediocre washed up shift doctor and I guess I cheat to put her in her place because I’m a bastard.
 
I have always been able to manipulate women and get them to do what I want. It was easy except I don’t want to manipulate Cassie or hurt her. I just want her to give me another chance.
 
The Therapist says…
 
 
Adultery doesn't have to end in divorce. But it is a wake-up call -- a very loud one -- that something is seriously wrong with the relationship. Still, if a couple can learn to recognize the real motivations for the infidelity, as well as the skills to deal with the underlying problems, they will be able to survive the trauma.
In my experience, however, an affair that's been going on for years is much harder to reconcile than a one-night stand, since a person who has a history of deception is likely to continue to lie over and over again. Nevertheless Don insists he wants to stay with Cassie and, though unsure of success, he seems ready to at least give counseling a try.
Before we can begin, however, he must first take responsibility for his actions and end the affair with Nina That means breaking off all contact -- phone calls, letters, messages. You cannot fix what is wrong with a marriage by adding another complication to it. And all the counseling in the world can't help if there are three people in a relationship.
 
 
My instruction for Don were to break off with Nina to make it clear to her that he loved his wife and that anything between them was over.
 
Don agreed to do this and meet next week together for one on one therapy and with Cassie as well.
My instructions to Cassie to try to open up to Don. To set aside her anger and allow him to touch her heart.
Cassie agreed she would at least try to open up a bit.To be continued….

This is really neat, Vicki.  Fresh and original.  I've read many stories of the Pleasantview clan, but your take is different.

LOL - leave it up to Don to suggest a sex surrogate!  Geez!  He really is a bastard, isn't he?

Nice work.  Looking forward to more.

LOL!  I always wanted to take this story and see where it goes!  LOL! in my game Don was really in love with Cassandra his wants included woohoo with her.
The pictures are awful but tonight I will get some better ones.  I have a few couples I want to do for sure.
Mary Pleasant and Daniel for sure to include the twins lol!, Circe and whats his name.
Don really still thinks the surrogate thing will help!  LOL!

Can This Marriage be Saved Part 2

The Therapist says...

A relaxed Cassie came in for her individual session.  She was practically glowing.  She was in a pretty Maternity blouse and slacks.  She sat down and smiled.  Cassie had a wonderful smile and it was the first time I had seen it.
I had been holding private sessions with Cassie.  We mostly concentrated on her trust issues and self esteem.

I had advised her to take a yoga class for pregnant women and to tell her family.  She had called her Father to announce her pregnancy and her brother Alex who was away at military school.

So Cassie how are you feeling?  You look marvelous!

She says...
Well I have been feeling better my nausea is gone finally and I really do feel stronger and more energetic since I started that yoga class.  I have met some other ladies there and I look forward to my class every Friday morning.

I have cut my hours at work to part-time so I just feel less tired I suppose.


Have you and Don been working on spending quality time together?

Actually yes!  Don has been home on time every night this week.  We went out to dinner and a movie.

He has been attentive and caring it's like he is a different man..


Don has made a lot of progress in therapy.  He never realized how his behavior affected you.  You know Cassie I think Don really does want to make this work.

I have been working on acting as if I forgive Don even if I don't feel forgiving.  At first I thought this is stupid it will never work.  But as I continued to go through the motions of acting forgiving I'm  beginng to actually feel it.

There is another reason I feel better as well.

Please, continue..
Well..remember how I told you I haven't been back to my Father's house since he married Dina?

Yes, I do.

Sunday morning he called me. Don and I were eating breakfast and talking about our plans for the day.  Our apartment is too small and we were discussing finding another apartment or maybe a townhouse with the baby coming we need another bedroom.  Don was telling me about one of his colleagues wife who was a realtor when the phone rang.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic1-1.png)

I answered and it was my Dad.  He sounded sad and told me how he missed me.  He wanted Don and me to come over that afternoon.  The idea of going to his house was out of the question.
I told him "Daddy I'm sorry I know Dina is your wife but I don't like her or accept her.
Not to mention Nina is living there and that woman is trying to break up my marriage!"

Daddy told me Dina and her sister had a big fight and Dina threw Nina out of the house.  He didn't know why they had fought but it was ugly. He said he needed to see me and that I could at least be civil to Dina because she was his wife.
"Cassie Dina has changed I know you think she is only after my money but she is going through a bad time and frankly you are family and I need your help right now."
His last comment stirred my heart and in the end I agreed we would come over.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic2.png)

Don and I got ready and drove over to my father's house that afternoon.  When I got to the house I practically had a heart attack.  Dina had remodeled the old house into something out of a fairy tale.  We drove by it at first and didn't recognize it.
I couldn't believe my father was living in that house!  It looked like a gingerbread house!

I had to admit it was at least more cheerful if not the tackiest thing I had ever seen.  Don was trying to calm me down I suppose he thought I might be angry at the remodeling of my childhood home.

I was trying to tell him I'm OK it's her house now let her do whatever she wants with it.  
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic3.png)

Then I realized there was a pool in the back where the family graves were.  She had put a pool over their graves?

As I was pondering that horror Daddy walked out to get his paper.  "Daddy?"  I could not believe my eyes.  "Daddy?  What the hell are you wearing?" I blurted out trying to stifle my laughter.


(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic4.png)
My Father who I never saw wear anything but suits and tuxedo's was wearing some crazy punk outfit.  I felt I was going insane.  "Oh yeah...he laughed.  "Do you like it?  I'm trying a new look.  Actually Dina bought it for me along with other clothes and well I wanted to make her happy by wearing it." he shrugged.

He took me on a tour of the garden which was now quite cheerful and I was relieved to find out the family ancestors were now resting peacefully in the local cemetery not cemented under the pool.  He explained that Dina had become depressed and he was very worried about her.
She had developed agoraphobia and barely left the house.  He had taken her to Doctors but progress was slow in her recovery.
The idea of an agoraphobic Dina was hard for me to believe.  She hated being home.  She was always dragging Daddy to every hotspot in town.

Daddy said that to help cheer her up he let her do whatever she wanted to the house since she never wanted to leave it now.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic5.png)

We went inside and the transformation was huge inside as well.  I barely recognized the old house at all.  It was definately all Dina light airy and pastels..

Once we were in the livingroom I asked Daddy about Dina's sudden mental problems.  He said they started shortly after her fall out with her sister and got progressively worse to the point that he was now pretty much semi-retired so he could be with her.  She was afraid to be alone and he was doing most of his work from his home office.

Daddy excused himself to go get Dina upstairs and I toured the livingroom it was so different I imagined this must of cost a fortune.

Then Daddy came back with Dina and my jaw literally touched the ground.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic6.png)
In swaddled a huge and extremely pregnant Dina.  I was in shock.  Daddy was patting her belly and I must say Dina glowed she was absolutely beautiful.
I asked Daddy why he hadn't said anything.  He said he wanted to give me time to cool off and get used to the idea of him being remarried.  He didn't think it was the right time to tell me about the babies...

BABIES!?  as in with an S at the end as in plural more than one?

It was the shock of my life for sure.  I never imagined Dina the type to want to have a baby.  I always thought she be to worried about her figure and not want to be tied up that way.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic7.png)

Dina welcomed me and told me she was so happy I had come.  She said she had to stay in bed a lot because of the babies and she was getting so depressed and lonely.

She asked me to come up and see the babies nursery it was finally finished and she wanted me to see it.  So I followed her upstairs which was also unrecognizable.

I could see Dina was struggling with the weight of her babies. As she slowly climbed the stairs I had to hold on to her a few time to make sure she wouldn't lose her balance.
I could see why Daddy couldn't leave her alone now.  She seemed so small and frightened now.  My God she must have been pregnant when they got married she was in her eight month.
 Two babies...those were my sibblings!  Instantly in that moment I felt my heart soften toward Dina and I decided for Daddy and those two babies I would make an effort to get along with her from now on.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic8.png)

"So what do you think?"  Dina asked out of breath from the climb.  "Dina it's lovely!  I love it!" I said meaning it.  At that moment I thought about my own little baby inside me.  I hadn't given my baby much thought.  Being in this sweet room surrounded by all the baby things warmed my heart.
I immediately imagined myself in a similar room nursing and loving my own baby.
While I was lost in my own thoughts Dina looked up at me and began telling me she was sorry for the trouble her sister had caused me.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic9.png)

"Cassie she told me everything and I am so ashamed of her.  I asked her to leave.  I want you to know that I do not approve of her behavior with Don.
When she told me I told her she had to stop and she was crazed she is obsessed with Don she said she would never stop so I asked her to leave." she said sadly.

I know you have never liked me Cassie and well I understand why.  When I first was with Morty I was a jerk and was taking advantage of his feelings for me.  But I want you to know that I have come to really love him.
I'm lost without him.  The thought of having my babies and Morty not being there some day consumes me.  It's making me sick, I can't even leave the house because I am riddled with anxiety of being alone."

I could see tears welling up in Dina's eyes.  It was just as Daddy had said this was not the same girl at all.  She was a woman now a terrified anxious woman.  I could sympathize with this Dina and understand her very well.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic10.png)

I took Dina's small swollen hand and looked into her sad terrified eyes and told her she was not alone.  She had me.  I was there for her and her babies and would be.

Dina broke down and cried for awhile and I held her.  She was openly relieved to have someone to rely on and in helping Dina I felt my own hard feelings for her melt away.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic11.png)

"Do you feel better?" I asked after awhile.

"Yes I do thank you!  I have needed to cry that way for awhile."

"Dina I want you to know you do not have to disown your sister for me.  She did a bad thing but I am married to Don not Nina and he should have been able to resist her and be faithful to me."

"Cassie did you know I dated Don a long time ago?"

"I had heard that."

"I want you to know nothing happened I dumped him after our third date when I found out he was broke!" she laughed.

I found myself laughing too.  Dina had not slept with Don.  That news was a relief to me Don had told me the truth about that.  Dina would never know that in her small way she had helped me learn to trust my husband.
For that I will always be grateful.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic12.png)

Do you hear that babies?  Mommy will make sure you have a silver spoon in your precious little mouths right from the beginning.  Dina relaxed and laughed.
The rest of the afternoon was pleasant we swam in Daddy's new pool and his stuffy new butler made ribs on the grill.


Cassie it sounds like it was a very good day for you.


"Oh yeah it was...When Don and I got home I was in such good spirits I jumped his bones Doctor!  LOL!
I just blew his mind I have never initiated lovemaking before and Don was so shocked.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic13.png)

It just felt right.  Since he stopped pressuring me to make love all the time I have actually had time to relax and miss it.  My body is so different now I'm actually curvy!
I don't know I felt sexy so I stripped down to my underwear and called him into the room.

We had an amazing time!  I think because I was doing the seducing it just turned me on.

After, Don was still in shock.  He said since he met me he had dreamed of that night.  He asked me "Cassie does this mean you still love me?"

At that moment Don seemed so vunerable so worried.  He has never been so attractive to me as he was that night.


The Therapist says...

Our hard work with Don in therapy seems to be paying off he is learning finally that the quickest way to a woman's heart is just that way through her heart not up her skirt.

I'm looking forward to seeing Don for his therapy and hearing his thoughts on this most eventful week.  I'm sure for one his story will be colorful!

I am loving this!!! Looking forward to the next episode.

Nice storie, and nice makeover on Cassandra.

Thanks guys!  I was wondering if anybody was reading it at all.  I will have another update soon.   Also some behind the scenes of their story.

I have never fully plaid these characters and I'm finding now that I have given them some depth I'm enjoying them!

Very nice, Vicki.  You really have given all the characters quite a bit of depth.  I can't believe what Dina did to the Goth mansion, lol.  And look at the size of her belly!  She's huge!  Are you sure there's only two babies in there, lol?  I never thought Don and Cassie would be able to save their marriage, but things are looking good for them!

Thanks Astral!  Yeah the Goth mansion has been Dinafied lol!  I want to see how long Don can be good.  I haven't changed his Dog aspiration just to see if he can really keep on his pants for Cassandra.

Case 1 part 3

Therapist says....


I have asked Cassie to keep a diary of her thoughts and events  so we can discuss them on her weekly visits.  It is a way of getting her to be aware of the status of her feelings in the present instead of the past.

Don is scheduled to see me next week.  Cassie is emailing me her diary entries for the week so that I will have a clear picture of her week when she comes in for her appointments.

I recieved the following entries from Cassie today it sounds like she had an eventful week..

Cassandra Goth

Entries for the week.

First thoughts open awakening:  
Truthfully, I'm usually starving!  I'm eating quite a bit now that I'm expecting. This morning I had a glass of juice and an omelette. I have been trying to eat healthier for baby's sake.  It's a good thing I'm going to that yoga class think I need to up it to twice a week now. Don has already left for the hospital he has the 6 am shift I didn't even hear him leave this morning.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic1-2.png)

I'm to big for any of my clothes I only have a few maternity outfits I got to go shopping.  I usually shower and work a bit on my sewing.  Since I'm on maternity leave I have had time to do a bit of sewing I made some curtains for the new apartment they turned out really pretty.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic2-1.png)

Don and I have been working on the nursery.  We have done it in lavenders and creme colors.  I so excited about my baby yet I'm so scared of what kind of parents Don and I will make.  I have decided to take off a full year from work so that I can properly bond with the baby.
Oh boy it's going to be rough living off of Don's salary at the hospital.  He just doesn't make as much as I do at the lab.
We don't know the sex of the baby yet.  My obstetrician said he could check on the next visit with an ultrasound but I'm not sure I really want to know.  I think we should be surprised.

Daddy and Dina know they are having a boy and a girl.  Dina is now on total bedrest.  She has terrible false labor pains.  She is all swollen I went to see her yesterday and she is ready to have those babies she is suffering.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic3-1.png)
Our new apartment is actually a townhouse.  It's not very big but it's comfy it has huge bedrooms which is nice because the baby will have a big room for all the ton's of stuff he or she will need.
My kitty Suki seems to like the new place I cannot keep her off the counters though.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic4-1.png)

Tuesday I made spagetti for Dinner.  It was so good!  I usually hate to cook Italian food for Don because he is Italian and has had good Italian food so I always feel he will compare mine to authentic but he actually loved my spagetti.

I have been watching the Yummy Chanel so I think my cooking is improving!
I'm becoming quite the housewife.  Honestly I never thought I would enjoy it as much as I am.  I know soon enough when the baby comes I will probably be in over my head.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic5-1.png)

Don is truly wearing a halo.  He goes to work and comes straight home. He is attentive and to be honest I think he likes it that I am home.  It seems to make him feel more like a provider.  Last night after dinner we sat and watched a movie together.  He likes sexy movies...and well we do have pay per view so we settled down to watch a little naughty tv when the phone rang.

Don didn't want to answer it.  He was like "Oh hell No!  If it's the hospital I don't want to go back to work!"

I finally convinced him to go check the caller id and it was Daddy Dina was in labor and they were at the birth center.
I jumped in the shower real quick and we were on our way.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic6-1.png)

Daddy looked exausted when we got there he was outside of Dina's room.  They were examining her.  She had been in labor all night and was having a rough time.

"Cassie she is in so much pain.  But she wants a natural birth so they haven't given her anything.  I told her to ask the nurse for something so hopefully she will agree to some pain medicine."
Daddy was a mess I didn't like to see him like this but hopefully Dina would have the babies and he would be beaming.

We waited for about twenty minutes outside of Dina's room before they let us in.  

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic7-1.png)

The nurse came out and told us she was asleep but we could go in if we wanted.  I made Daddy go get something to eat since the nurse said it would be awhile and she was asleep.
I promised Daddy I would stay with her the whole time and he finally left to the cafeteria.
"Come on Morty I hate the food here but what the heck I'll have some chow with you!"  Don went with Daddy so I went in to check on Dina.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic8-1.png)

Poor Dina she was asleep she looked so small in that hospital bed.  I could see how exausted she really was.  Her nurse was very nice.  She said Dina really wanted to do a natural birth so had refused pain medication.  
As a result she had become too tired to push now that it was time.  They thought the babies would come soon but wanted to give her a chance to get some rest since she had not slept all night.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic9-1.png)

Dina's nurse asked me if I was going to be present during the birth.  I had not even considered that.  I told her it would be up to Dina.
She asked about my pregnancy a bit and we chatted in whispers since Dina was sleeping soundly on the meds they had given her.
Then she said something how it was funny how sister's usually get pregnant at about the same time.  She seemed a bit embarassed when I told her Dina was not my sister but my Stepmother.

Just about that time Dina woke up and was in full swing contractions.  Luckily Daddy and Don were back from the cafeteria cause it sure seemed like it was showtime!

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic10-1.png)

I told Daddy and Dina to hang in there that I would be in the waiting room.  But Dina grabbed my arm and asked me to stay!

Oh boy did she yell.  " MORTY IT HURTS!!  WHY DOES IT HURT SO MUCH????"
"I'M DYING" She screamed at the top of her lungs...
"Dina honey do your breathing remember like the lamaze classes?"  Daddy tried to comfort her but she was well into labor and really couldn't concentrate on what anyone was saying.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic11-1.png)

"Breath Dina!" Daddy said desperately while Dina yelled at the top of her lungs in the next contraction.
"I AM BREATHING DAMNIT IT'S NOT WORKING ALL THIS BREATHING IS MAKING WANT TO PUKE!
and puke she did....a lot.
I tried to tell Dina she was doing great but frankly she wasn't listening to anybody at this point and can you blame her?

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic12-1.png)

It was time to push the doctor was there working on well the business end of things.  Dina's nurse was trying to get Dina to push.
PUSH MRS. GOTH!  PUSH!

Dina was out of her mind in pain at this point and screamed at the nurse
'I AM PUSHING YOU STUPID @$#!

Daddy tried to apologize for Dina to the nurse but she said she had been called a lot worse by other Mom's not to worry.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic13-1.png)

In one incredibly loud scream Dina pushed out the first baby it was a boy!

He looked all pink and angry I felt my eyes well up in tears at seeing my baby brother birth.
Daddy cut the cord and the Doctor put the baby on Dina's belly.  It was an incredible moment.  To witness the beginning of life!

Just as we were all lost in this moment Dina began to yell again and very quickly the nurse took the baby and the Doctor delivered the second baby.
She was dark like Dina so pretty...

The Nurse took the babies to get them checked out.  But she said they looked really good.
I helped Dina into the shower and into some pJ's and Daddy and Don went to the Nursery to watch the babies!

After the babies were all checked out and cleaned up the nurse brought them in and I did snap some pictures of them.
Here is my little sister!
Her name is Caitlin Rose Goth!  She is so sweet!

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic14-1.png)
Here is a picture of my baby Brother Mathew Jeremy Goth.
Daddy could not take his eyes off he beautiful new son!
I saw him openly weep at the sight of his beautiful babies and my heart filled with joy for him.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic15.png)
I snapped a picture of the four of them together and slipped out of the room quietly.  It was time to give them some privacy to welcome their new babies.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic16.png)
I went home that night and slept like a bear labor is hard even when it is not your own!
Looking forward to seeing you tommorow Doc!  I have cigars!

by the way guys is it me or are those babies really big?

Yea...I used to seeing RL (Real life) babies that are really tiny. Image pushing something like that out. lol.

Yeah me too!  It's just that these are the two biggest infants I have ever noticed in my game.  Poor Dina.

Case 1 part 4
 
The Therapist says...
 
I'm glad you were able to make it Don. How long has it been since your last appointment? About two and half weeks at least.
He says...
 
It's close to three weeks now...this is a really nice fish tank is it a lot of work?
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic1-3.png)
 
"I have a man that comes in and keeps it clean and maintained."
It's really nice relaxing bewitching actually to watch...
 
So Don how are things going with Cassie?
 
 
Cassie is perfect. She is loving and things couldn't be better between us. Except I know it's all going to come to an ugly end now....
 
Why do you say that?
 
See there is a reason I haven't made our last few appointments...
 
About a month ago, After my Inlaws had their babies I was at work and my nurse came up to me and told me our last patient was in the room.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic2-2.png)
 
So I went into the room while my nurse got items ready for bloodwork for the patient. It is my routine I go in and greet the patient get some background then the nurse goes in on my request and does bloodwork or lab testing needed.
 
 
Except....when I walked into the room there on the table sitting was Nina Caliente. I was furious it felt like she was stalking me again. I yelled at her and asked her what the hell she was doing there.
 
Nina met my outrage with her own. "I dunno Doctor Love as she would call me when she wanted to be especially irritating...I'm here for my health fool! I think I'm pregnant!" she blurted out.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic3-2.png)
 
I was furious and told her to wait I would get her another Doctor or a Nurse practitioner to examine her. "Look Don if I'm pregnant it's yours you hear me? It's your baby I haven't been with anyone since that last night we were together!"
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic4-2.png)
 
I felt I had been kicked in the gut. I didn't believe her. I accused her of lying and in the end I had the nurse do lab work and a sonogram on her and indeed she was pregnant and the dates seemed to match our last encounter.
 
"How do I know this baby is mine Nina?" I finally asked while my head was spinning in despair.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic5-2.png)
 
Nina agreed to a DNA test which is possible while the child is still in womb. "Go ahead and do the test Don! It's your baby! I need help Don I"m broke and Dina won't help me anymore. I'm having the baby because even though you have never respected or loved me you are the love of my life. Now we are tied to each other forever through this baby."
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic6-2.png)
 
I'm going to give you a lab order for the DNA test go tommorow morning first thing Nina! Do not contact me until we get the results of the test do you hear me?
I'm going to give you some cash all I have on me is about $120.00 take it and get out of here!
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic7-2.png)
 
"Don I know you are angry but I am the perfect woman for you. Cassie could never love you the way I do. She is a sad insecure woman that wants to keep you on a leash. I would never restrict you from being who you are as long as you come back to me I don't care what you do with other women."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic8-2.png)
 
Then she left. She did go to the lab and have the DNA test the next day. I have been a wreck ever since. Cassie and I have been so good. I have been cringing everytime the phone rings or a letter comes in the mail.
 
This morning I got the lab results from Nina's DNA test...it's my child.....Nina was telling the truth. Cassie doesn't know anything yet I want so much just to keep this a secret but Nina will be getting the results within the next few days and I know she will tell Cassie and Cassie will leave me I have no doubt.
 
You need to tell her yourself Don.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic9-2.png)
 
Yes I know, I also know that the moment I tell her I will lose Cassie. Doc after Cassie leaves me I'm going to need someone to talk to will you continue to see me?
 
Yes Don I will.
 
Therapist says....
 
Don has agreed to tell Cassie this most disturbing development tonight. As much progress as this couple has made in therapy I really do not know if their relationship will survive this.

Case 1 part 5
 
Therapist's notes on Case couple Cassandra and Don Lothario
 
Closing Notes on file:
 
It has been a six months since Don's last visit when he announced he was the father of Nina Caliente's unborn child.
 
It was to be his last visit to this office as Cassandra's husband.
 
As agreed during that session Don told Cassie about Nina's pregnancy and his paternity of her unborn child.
 
Cassie left him that very night and filed for a divorce within that week.
 
Don continues to come into the office for individual counseling once a month.
Cassie was referred to my colleague for court ordered parenting/divorce counselling mandated by our state as part of divorce proceedings.
 
Cassie moved back in with her Father and Dina Caliente and returned to work shortly after the birth of her son.
 
Cassie named her son James Mortimer Lothario and he is a healthy, happy toddler. Don has visitation with James every other week in his small apartment.
 
He has not resumed his relationship with Nina but does help her out financially she is due to deliver their child within the next few weeks.
 
Don admits he is still in love with Cassie but does not press her as he knows she will refuse him and he wants to maintain a friendly relationship for their son's sake.
 
Don mention Cassie will be moving from her father's home into her own apartment since the Goth home is quite chaotic and noisy with all the children.
I recieved email contact from her recently that included photos of her son and Goth children.
Enclosed is Cassandra's email:
 
Dear Doc:
I know it has been a long time since I wrote you! It seems like yesterday I was emailing you my weekly diary.
I am grateful for your referral of Doctor Chidder's she has helped me tremendously during this painful time.
 
I understand your keeping Don as your patient and the conflict of seeing both of us as patients now that we are divorced.
 
I am holding up. I still love Don but I can't be his wife. It was just too much against us maybe if Nina had not gotten pregnant I could have gotten over his affair but a child is a lifetime reminder that he betrayed me.
 
I do want you to see my little munchkin he is my everything now.
 
He looks like me don't you think?
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/RoyLothario.png)
 
Dina and I have become very good friends our babies are inseparable.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/hangingingarden.png)
 
Here is James with his Auntie Caitlin and Uncle Mathew.
They are a force of nature these three!
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/gothlothariokids.png)
 
I will be moving out on my own this weekend just to get some quiet and privacy my father's home is very noisy.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/cassielothario.png)
 
Doc, wish James and me good luck we going to need it.
your ex-patient but still a friend,
Cassandra Lothario Goth
 
 
It seems fitting to close out this file at this time. I'm not sure if Don will ever be able to woo Cassie back but I have the feeling once she is in her own place away from the Goth clan he will have more access to her and perhaps make another try.
We continue his therapy for personality disorder, sex addiction and relationship loss grief progress is incremental with Don and all notes on his therapy will from this point on be kept in his personal file.
 
File Status Marriage Counselling terminated
Couple divorced, relationship ended.
Closed 09/22/08
 
Doctor Marion Loomis

There maybe more updates on the case but they will be from Don Lothario's perspective as he remains in therapy with the doctor.
I'm sure once Nina has her baby he will need to get things off his chest with the doctor.
 
I'm itching to get to Case 2 with ton's of drama and fireworks! LOL!

DAMN! I hate Nina! Grrr! She ruined everything...

Write more! Write more!

LOL!  Yeah me too!  What's funny is that in my game she really is stalking Don Lothario.
Everytime I move him around to do some scenes she will sneak and hide behind trash cans or whatever to get a glimpse of him it's real fatal attraction like!  LOL!
I will do some more from Don's perspective.  Yes he is a dog but he is a repentant sad dog and I actually like him now.  LOL!

Lol! Really. I hate Don though. I hated him so much I actually killed him last time I played and had Cassandra hook up with Darren Dreamer. lol!

Poor Don!  LOL! Darren Dreamer is really hot in my game with the defaults (skins, beards,eyes,brows) I have in now.
I have been wondering what sort of trouble he can get into...

Patient: Don Lothario
Patient Notes
Don came in for a monthly visit he appeared tired and somewhat tense. The following is a transcript of said appointment.
Therapist says...
So Don you look a little hagard are you doing OK?
 
Well, I'm exausted.
How are visitations going with your son?
They were going pretty well I haven't seen my boy though in about a month mostly because I have been occupied with other things..
 
I felt Don was leading up to tell me something important so I opened the conversation so it would progress naturally.
Why don't you tell me about it Don?
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic1-4.png)
 
It actually all started about a month ago. I had James for the weekend. Cassie was moving into her new place so for once she wasn't reluctant to let him go with me.
I had fulfilled all her requirements of keeping him overnight. She made me get a bunch of kid stuff besides toys. I had bought a feeding chair, crib, changing table, potty cause my boys training ya know! LOL!
Cassie made me show her reciepts for the stuff before she would actually let him sleep over.
I could have fought her on it I do have legal overnight visits but I thought about it and she was right he still is a baby and needs those things.
James is a quiet good little boy. He doesn't cry much at all. I see Cassie in his eyes he has her same expression of watching me closely. It's actually weird.
I had taken him to the apartment playground which he seems to like. He got pretty dirty so it was bath time. Cassie has written down his routine which I somewhat try to follow.
"DON!
DON'T FORGET!!
JAMES BATH AFTER PLAY OUTSIDE
GERMS!!!LETHAL TO BABY'S IMMUNE SYSTEM SINCE IT'S NOT YET DEVELOPED.
FEED HIM AFTER HIS BATH!
LOOK IN HIS BABY BAG AND FEED HIM WHAT I SENT FOR YOU!
NO ADULT FOOD DON!
HE IS ON TODDLER BITS.
IT DOESN'T HAVE PRESERVATIVES OR ADDITIVES AND I DON'T WANT HIM HAVING THAT JUNK!
I HAVE SENT YOU ENOUGH FOOD TO LAST THE WHOLE WEEKEND!
FEED HIM HIS RICE CEREAL IN THE MORNING WITH A BOTTLE OF OJ GIVE HIM SIX OUNCES. PREPARE HIS CEREAL WITH HIS FORMULA. NO COWS MILK. HE LIKES IT WARM NOT HOT.
HE EATS LUNCH AROUND 11AM SINCE HE WAKES UP SO EARLY.
YOU CAN FEED HIM ONE JAR OF TURKEY OR MAC AND CHEESE. FOR HIS DESSERT ONE OF THE FRUITS. HE ALSO HAS A BOTTLE OF FORMULA.
TRY TO PUT HIM DOWN FOR A NAP BETWEEN LUNCH AND DINNER BUT NOT TOO LATE.
DINNER THE SAME.
DON'T LET HIM WATCH YOUR NASTY MOVIES!
VERY IMPORTANT! PUT HIM ON THE POTTY CHAIR IN THE AM WHEN HE WAKES, AFTER EACH MEAL WITHIN 10 MINS AND BEFORE BEDTIME.
BEFORE HE SLEEPS HE LIKES TO BE READ TO I PUT ONE OF HIS FAVORITE BOOKS IN HIS BAG. GIVE HIM A BOTTLE OF WARM FORMULA WHILE YOU READ TO HIM AND HE WILL SETTLE RIGHT DOWN.
CALL ME ON MY CELL IF THERE IS ANY PROBLEMS. I'LL LEAVE MY PHONE ON.
 
When I first read this note I was pissed. She was treating me like an idiot. Doesn't she remember I'm a Doctor?
But despite my annoyance I found myself tapping the "RULES" to the fridge and keeping the schedule since the first night James did nothing but cry and complain.
So I gave my boy his bath after the playground.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic2-3.png)
 
It was time for lunch. I fed him his food Cassie had sent. Made myself a sandwich too since I was starving. I looked up at my boy he was done with his mush.
He is a funny little man. "So James....Mom says I have to put you on your potty now but the rest of the afternoon is open. Want to watch a movie? I got a new movie it's called 'The Burning Bush'. LOL! Yeah...your right I don't think your Mom would like that.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic3-3.png)
 
James is down with potty cause he actually went for me which surprised me because so far he had only just sat in it for a few split seconds and ended up soiling his pullups. I was in the process of cheering and making a fuss about it when the doorbell rang.
Now..who the hell could that be? It better not be your Mom to pick you up. She promised to let me have a full weekend.
Well it was not Cassie. It was Nina again.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic4-3.png)
 
"Nina what are you doing here?"
"Aww....is that your boy Donny? He is a cutie! He looks like Cassie Don he is her clone!" she squealed.
"Nina why are you here? I am busy as you can see I have my son this weekend." I tried to get rid of her I swear I did. Nina has been showing up every few days. I am so tired of this. How many times do I have to reject this woman?
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic5-3.png)
 
I started to walk away and put James down in his crib it was time for his nap. I figured Nina wanted money so I went to get my wallet. "Donny?....I need to stay here Brandy asked me to leave."
 
"Oh No! Nina I told you we are not a couple. I don't want to live with you. I'll try to find you some kind of pregnancy shelter or something."
I really didn't want her to move in with me. I guess I was still holding on to some hope that Cassie might want me back at some point.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic6-3.png)
 
"Donny I'm pregnant with your baby and I'm homeless. I'm not asking you to marry me or even to be my boyfriend just take care of me at least until the baby is born."
I thought about Nina's words and felt badly about her situation. I knew she was sleeping on Brandy's couch and that Brandy was tired of taking care of her.
"Why did she ask you to leave? What did you do?"
"She said it was time for me to move on that my baby is coming soon and she herself was trying to get her own life on track and another infant in the house would be too much. She told me to come stay with you and get you to help me.
You know she is studying for the Sargent's exam and she has just changed since she joined the police force. She's hard."
 
"Nina I only have a one bedroom apartment. If you stay here you will have to share my bed." I relented.
Then Nina moved in on me. In more ways than one. She cooed up to me and whispered into my ear..
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic7-3.png)
 
"Oooh Donny...I have never had a problem sharing a bed with you..she grabbed my hand and put her soft lips to the edge of my mouth.
Now Doc....I dunno if you are aware of this or not but I haven't had a woman in ages. At that point I was so ready before I realized it I grabbed her and we started to kiss and touch each other.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic8-3.png)
 
Nina is very good looking. She has not put on much weight with her pregnancy so she is just sort of soft and rounded. I have to admit I tore her clothes off and went to town on her. I been so alone and Cassie won't give me the time of day except having to do with our son. It was just nice having someone desire me.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic9-3.png)
 
I took a quick peek at James he was busy with his toys so I pulled Nina into the bedroom and after so many months of being celibate, miserable and alone I gave in to my instincts.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic10-2.png)
 
To say it was fast and furious is I suppose an understatement. I got up quickly as soon as we were done and put James in his crib he was pretty tired but still playing with his blocks.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic11-2.png)
 
I took James home early that next day early Sunday morning. Cassie seemed somewhat irritated I suppose it interferred with her plans somehow I dunno. But I wanted to be with in bed not taking care of little James and the endless list of formularies that involved caring for a toddler at that moment.
I am not in love with Nina but she is in my home, my bed and having my baby right now. She understands and accepts that I'm not in love with her. She still wants to be with me.
Destiny is pushing me to be with this woman despite my own desires. I suppose I have just given in to it.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic12-2.png)
 
Don? Now that Nina is living with you have you descussed what will happen after your child is born?
 
No...I haven't gotten clear in my own head yet.
 
I asked Don to sit down with Nina and discuss his feelings. To come up with a plan for what their relationship would be so there would be no misunderstandings.
Don had decided to allow Nina and the baby to live with him. He would seek a larger apartment and after the child was born Nina could stay with him but would have to work and help with expenses. He would not commit to her and wanted her to understand that this arrangement was not permanent but that he would help her out if he chose to leave.
Don in making this decision had accepted that his relationship with Cassie was indeed over.
Perhaps, for his sake that was a good thing since that obsession had not been helpful to his progress.
I was concerned about Don demeanor he did look really tired so I adjusted his antidepressant and scheduled him for a follow-up within two weeks to see how he was feeling.
 
Two weeks later.....
 
A more relaxed less tense Don showed up for his follow up he seemed in a bit better spirits...
 
"Nina had the baby!" he blurted out.
"It's a girl!" he beamed.
Well congratulations Don!
Don pulled out the snapshots to show me.

She looks like me....she has my green eyes. I guess she looks like Nina too but she is so pretty..
Don she is a beautiful baby!
I was in the labor room with Nina when she had the baby. You know Cassie didn't want me in the room when she had James. I had to wait in the waiting room. Her labor was 16 long hours of waiting in that waiting room not being able to hold her hand or see our son be born. That hurt me more than she will ever know.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic14-2.png)
 
Nina had a good delivery she had the baby in only four hours.
I am blown away by that experience. I got to hold my daughter first before anyone. I cut the cord and even though I have delivered a baby before in my residency I don't remember it being this beautiful. We have named the baby Donnatella or Donna for short.
She is a good baby. I'm in the process now of finding us a bigger place my small apartment is jam packed full of kid stuff you can barely walk.
 
How are things going with Nina and you?
 
They are going Ok I imagine. I did have that talk with her and Nina and she agreed to my terms. She is going to stay home  with the baby for six months then we will hire a nanny and split the costs.
She plans on returning to work as a hair dresser since she is still licensed to do that.
I think she needs to take some kind of refresher course since she hasn't actually worked in that for some time.
Nina is a great mother she takes pretty good care of the house and as always is amazing and very willing in bed.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic15-1.png)
 
So you have come to a comfortable arrangement?
 
For now yes...I saw Cassie the other day and she was with a guy. He had on the same lab uniform as her I imagine it's her boyfriend.
How did that make you feel Don?
To be honest at first angry then I realized I'm living with another woman who just had my baby I have no right to be jealous if she seeing someone.
It still manages to make me angry anyway.
I walked up to her and told her I was moving into a bigger place and would resume my visits with James as soon as I was settled in. Then I walked away before she could say anything.
 
Notes:
I scheduled Don for a normal visit within a month after his move and getting settled into a new place.
Cassie meeting someone else had unsettled Don and could possibly throw him into another depression.

Meet the couple:
Daniel Pleasant and Mary Sue Pleasant.
 
Daniel is a teacher and coach at the local highschool.  Mary Sue is a Mortgage Broker.
They have been married for eighteen years.  They were both barely out of highschool when they married.  Mary Sue found herself pregnant with twins and put her college on hold for two years to raise them.
 
Shortly after the birth of the twins and after her return to college they began to experience problems communicating.
 
It seems Mary Sue felt Daniel had no ambition and she wanted to move up in her career.
Daniel on the other hand states he enjoys being a teacher and had no interest in seeking out another career.
 
Today I have in front of me both Daniel and Mary Sue.  Their two daughters are out in the waiting room.  Family counselling has been court ordered by a Judge Humble in Juvenile Court.
 
Their daughter Lillith was arrested driving under the influence it is a repeat offense and since she is a minor and there are other serious family problems the judge thought it urgent the whole family be evaluated since he is considering removing both teens from the home.
 
A mitigating factor in this case is the recent arrest of Daniel Pleasant.  He is presently out on parole pending trial.  The charges are disturbing.
 
Daniel Pleasant has been acused by one of the female basketball team members he coaches of sexual molestation.  Daniel denies the charges.
 
Mary Sue has made it clear she is fed up with Daniel and will seek a divoce after his sentencing one way or the other.
Although she believes the alegations are false she is tired of Daniel's indiscretions and feels they no longer have a marriage to save.
 
I have asked Daniel to wait outside with the girls and will interview Mary Sue first.
Although family counselling is usually done in a group session there are too many issues to have a sit down with all of them at once and I have decided to find out from Mary Sue her version of how things have gotten so bad.
 
Mrs. Pleasant?  We are here because of Lilith but obviously there are many other issues that may be contributing to her acting out.  If you believe Daniel to be innocent in these allegations why do you still want a divorce?
 
"Honestly, I know or rather I feel Daniel did not rape that girl.  But he had a romantic relationship with her.  He has admited that to me.  He got as far as hugging and kissing her.
He disgusts me.  We have two daughters the same age.  His lack of good sense and his indiscretions with other females is ridiculous."
 
Even if he is cleared from these charges he will lose his job.  Because he became involved with a student innapropriately.
 
It's not the first time Daniel has cheated on me either.  Last year I found out he was sleeping with our maid.  At the time I was devastated.  Here I was working my butt off at work so we could have nice things for our family and he was banging the maid the minute I left for work.
 
He begged me to forgive him and ended the affair and for the sake of our girls I gave him another chance.  This is how he repays me by sneaking around with a teen I'm fed up it's over.
I will wait until after the trial and file for divorce then.  Our kids are a mess.
Lilith is drinking and maybe using street drugs I'm not sure.  She has always tested negative for drugs which is the only reason she is not in more trouble than she already is.
 
What about your other daughter Angela?
 
Angela up to this point had been OK.  Now she is acting out too.  Two nights ago she didn't come home I finally found her in her boyfriends house.   The mother was at work and god only knows what happened.
 
Let's get back to Lilith, When did her behavior begin to get out of hand?
 
She was a normal little girl a bit of a tomboy.  It didn't alarm until she became a teen and she was still in my opinion very boyish.  We have never had "The conversation" but I realized quite soon enough that she was probably a lesbian.
 
Lilith is a lesbian?
 
Yes, I wasn't a hundred percent sure until I saw her with a girlfriend.  She met Marylena last year and they are pretty much inseparable.  Six months ago Lilith came to Daniel and I and asked us if Marylena could stay with us because her parents had kicked her out because she was gay.
 
Marylena is a sweet girl and I truly felt terrible for her so we let her stay with us.  If anything she has a calming effect on Lilith's horrible temper.  They share Liliths bedroom and to be honest I'm most comfortable with the don't ask don't tell way on that issue.
 
Tell me about Daniel's arrest.
 
To say it was the most painful humiliating day for me is putting it mildly.  That day I was very busy at work.  I was speaking to another broker on the phone regarding a very important deal we had in the works.
I had asked my secretary Christy to not disturb me during this call because this broker is hard to reach and I had finally gotten hold of him.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic1-5.png)
 
Well, Christy walks in and she says there is an urgent call from home.  She said Mr. Pleasant says it's an emergency Mrs. Mary Sue I'm sorry!
So I got off the phone and picked up the line.  My heart was racing I didn't know if there had been an accident or more drama with Lilith...
 
Daniel was on the line and just blurted out that he had been arrested.  I was in shock I supose...I couldn't think I was rambling...Why?  Why Daniel Why have you been arrested?
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic2-4.png)
 
But he wouldn't tell me.
He just said to call our attorney and come to the police station to find out about his bail.
 
I raced over there.  I was in a panic state I didn't understand anything I felt like I was going insane.  I finally got to the police station and I kept my sunglasses on I had been crying and I didn't want to look into anyone's eyes.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic3-4.png)
 
Brandi Broke was at the desk.  I have known Brandi since high school we have never been close but we are aquainted.  "Daniel's been arrested Brandi!  I don't even know why!  Can you tell me?"  I asked desperately.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic4-4.png)
 
She had an uncomfortable look in her eyes.  "Mary Sue it's serious the charges against Daniel are for rape of a student."
I felt all the blood leave my head and took a step back.  I was NOT going to faint or cry here.  
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic5-4.png)
"I see....I finally was able to utter.
Brandi can I see him?"
 
"No not now he is being booked it will be awhile you can have a seat and wait if you want."
 
I sat in that hard bench for about two and half hours it was a nightmare.  Daniel was being charged with rape....
I had a lot of time to think while I sat on that bench and time to ask myself many questions as well...
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic6-4.png)
 
To be Continued......

Ooh! New chapter! Mary-sue, leave that bone-bag and hook up with...um...let me see...a...hot guy?

Update soon!

You know, I've seen many stories about people's interpretation of the Maxis families - but I've never seen one done like this.  I really like it - it's refreshing and different.  I love seeing everyone's problems and witnessing their progress with the therapist.  Your sims are beautiful!  What defaults are you using?  I swear Nina has never looked better!

And Brandi has always been my favorite Pleasantview sim - will she be having therapy sessions as well?  I imagine she'll need them - dead husband, 'suspicious' pool accident, troubled teen, difficulty making ends meet - I can hardly wait, lol!

Anyway, I'm really enjoying these and hope you plan to continue.

Zorom Mary Sue is definately going to leave Daniel she is fed up. This case will bring in the Pleasant twins in a very different way.
Mary Sue can do so much better imo! LOL!
 
Astral I think I'm using some kind of stefan blend made by someone else. Everytime I have a situation where I have to do over and reinstall I try a different one and the tan and mediums on this one are really nice. The lights hmmm...not so much.
But I have default everything...
Eyes, skin, brows, hair, makeup all things maxis have been defaulted which I think makes townies actually look normal.
Oh and Brandi is a Sargent in the Pleasantville Police force now. She definately has some issues, she will be seeing the Police Psychiatrist to work out her problems.
 
I'm hoping to lure some more reader's really does make my day to see some comments!
Thanks guys!
 
I'm thinking of changing the title of the stories to something else.  Hmm..have to think any suggestions?

Case 2 part 2
Pleasant Family
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p1.png)
"Mary Sue!?  There will a bail hearing in about an hour.  I'm going to see if I can get any more information about the specifics of these allegations.
If you go up to the desk now I'm sure they will let you see Daniel."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p2.png)
"That's the detective now...I'm going to talk to him Mary Sue."
"Joyce?  Is that the girl and her Mother?"
"Yes Mary Sue you stay here Don't talk to them OK?"
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p2b.png)
I looked at the girl and her Mother.  Doctor you want to hear something strange?  She looked like me when I was a young girl.  It was obvious she had been crying.  I wanted to go slap her.  I was sure she was making this all up.
As bad as Daniel was I know he wouldn't rape any woman.  He didn't have it in him.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p3.png)
Joyce is a partner with the attorney's firm she is very good Daniel she is handling everything you should be out on bail sometime today.
I just need to know two things Daniel and don't even think about lying to me.  First did you rape that girl?  Second did you sleep with her?"

"I did NOT rape anyone nor have I ever forced myself on anybody Mary Sue you should know that by now about me I don't have that kind of violence in me."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p4.png)
"Good Daniel!  Now I want to know the extent of your relationship with that girl.  Think about this carefully because if I get even an inkling or funny feeling that you are lying I walk right now.  You will never see me or the girls again.  Believe it Daniel I want to hear the truth now or I walk.   This little game where I have to drag things out of you I have no time or stamina for so I don't care what the truth is you will give it to me straight."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p5.png)
"Mary Sue?  I did NOT have sex with Mayling.  She has had a crush on me for two years.  I taught her English two semester's ago and I noticed she was at all the practices even though she didn't seem to be with anyone there.
One day she asked me if I could give her a ride home after practice everyone was gone and I said OK.
We chatted in the car and when we got to her house she kissed me.  I kissed her back and then told her this cannot happen May I'm not interested in having an affair with a student.
She started to cry.  I told her it was ok to just forget it I already had.  Then she opened her shirt and put my hands on her breast.  I got angry and told her to get out of my car.
I asked her to stop following me around and that I would talk to the school psychologist if she didn't stop and she got angry, got out and slammed the car door.
I swear Mary Sue that is the extent of my relationship with this girl."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p6.png)
After that the officer took him for his bail hearing and Daniel was bailed out.  Since then the charges have been reduced to fondling.  I think the case will be eventually dropped because our attorney has heard that the girl is being pressured by her mother to elaborate the story."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p7.png)

Mary Sue?  This has all been very traumatic I'm sure for you and your family.
I want to talk to all members of the family but I feel with things such as they are we may need to see everyone individually first.  Tell me how bad is Lillith's drinking?
 
It's sporadic.  But when she drinks she gets in trouble she will take the car and well get caught like she done twice already.
Do you know what prompted her to get take the car on this occasion?

Yes, she couldn't find Marylena.  She was in some kind of I suppose jealous rage and took the car to look for her.  Marylena had gone to the store and had her cellphone shut off.
She was all of half an hour late.  
Lillith called her job and when they said she had already left went nuts and took Daniel's car.
He was upstairs asleep and had left his keys on the table.  
When she couldn't reach Marylena on her cell she started drinking.  She apparently had a bottle of vodka hidden in her room.  She was two blocks from home when the police pulled her over for an incomplete stop.
Then the officer smelled alcohol and arrested her.
 
So, her relationship with Marylena is in your opinion obsessive?
 
That would be a good way to catagorize it in my opinion it's ridiculous.
 
In the meantime....
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p8.png)
Angela?  The secretary said it's going to be another fifteen minutes before they will see any of us do you want to go to the snack area and get me some coffee?
"Dad I don't know where it is.  But yeah I'm hungry too.  Daddy we have been here all morning how long is this going to take?
"I don't know."
Where is Lillith and Marylena?
I think they are outside Lillith said she would be right back she needed some air.
"Tell the secretary we going to step out for a bit and let's go."
"Alright Daddy."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p9.png)
 
 
How much did Lillith drink before taking the car do you know?
 
She drank about half of the bottle.
 
I'm concerned her relationship with Marylena may become abusive Mary Sue.

I don't think she would ever hurt Marylena.  But in a jealous rage she might get into a fight with someone else and that does worry me.
 
I would like to try inpatient care for Lillith.  I want to give her some time to think things through and recieve some therapy for her drinking.  I also want to address the obsessive, possesive behavior in her relationship with Marylena.
 
Truthfully, It would be a relief.  I think she needs help and frankly Daniel and I are now overwhelmed with other things.
I'm going to allow the girls to live with either me or their father.  But it maybe out of my hands if this judge decides we can't handle Lillith.
 

I believe inpatient care for Lillith and one on one with Angela may satisfy the judge that you are handling the girls properly.
Let me tell you about the program for Lillith..

Meanwhile...
I want to get out of here!  This is stupid!  I have a headache and we have been here for hours!
"Look Lillith!  The reason we are here is because you can't stay out of trouble!"
I have had it with your BS you leave and I leave you hear me Lillith?"
"What?"
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p11.png)
"Lillith you heard me!  I love you so much but if you don't stop suffocating me and acting out when I'm not within your eyesight we are over!
I will move in with my Aunt she offered to take me in.  I don't want to do this but I will if you don't get some help.  Your drinking scares me.  You are nasty when you drink.  I have told you over and over that just because we are a couple doesn't mean you own me.  I have told you I don't like who you are when you drink.  If you are unwilling to stop then I don't want to stick around and watch you destroy yourself and your family in the process!"
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p12.png)
"Marylena...please don't leave me!  I don't want to live if you are not my girl.  I mean that.  I will do whatever they ask me to do.  Just don't leave me OK?"
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p13.png)
Lillith, you complete whatever therapy they give you and I will be home waiting for you.  I promise and your birthday is one month away we will both work fulltime and save enough to move out together like we planned this will all be behind us.
Just get well so we can carryout our dreams."

vicky i love this story...it really is different, and i like the way you portray the characters! great update, i hope to see another one.

Thanks Calico!  Hope to have an update up soon.

All your sims look great - Marylena is just beautiful!  Gorgeous screenshots - vibrant colors.  I love the spin you take with these families.  Looking forward to more!

Thanks Astral I wanted to use all townies or NPC on this and Marylena is a pizza girl aged down to teen.  LOL!  I did do some work on her though makeup, hair and lip collagen I think.  I wanted to give Lilith a pretty girl.  LOL!
Dunno, I have always seen Lilith as a lesbian for some reason her romance with with Dirk Dreamer didn't seem to fit her.

Which pizza girl was she originally?  I don't remember a pizza girl named Marylena.  But she's very pretty - you did a great job!

Great story, Mary-Sue looks great.Can you please upload her?

Hmm..not sure of her last name I know she delivers pizza in pleasantville and had short blonde hair under her cap.  I aged her down and gave her a makeover.  I'll try to find out next time I go ingame going to try to work on story either tonight or tommorow morning.
Dogg check your pm's.

More..more...more...more!!!! I love your take on the characters. They look great too!!

Aww.. thanks Aji!  I'm going to work some on this tonight.  I just double checked and I think Marylena is the black girl townie Marylena Hamilton from Pleasantville.  I'm pretty sure.

Hmmm.  Not familiar with her.  I know of a Marylena Hamilton that delivers groceries - she's a blonde, though.  Ah well - it doesn't make a difference.  She's a beauty. :)

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic1-6.png)
Lilith, you know why you are here.  The Judge wanted your family to have a consult with a Psychiatrist because he feels your DUI's are a sign that you are having problems at home.
I talked to your mother for awhile, but I really want to hear from you.  Let's talk about your drinking.  Do you drink every day?

"Hmm...pretty much everyday but I don't get drunk every day I just drink mostly at night so I can sleep."
What do you drink?....and how much every day?

"I like vodka mostly vodka.  I drink about a pint a day I guess."
 
Tell me Lilith when did you start drinking this much?  Was it after you met Marylena?
"No....I was already drinking pretty much everyday when I met Marylena."
What is your relationship with Marylena like?  
"Well....we are lovers.  I'm a lesbian but I suppose my Mother told you that already."
 
Is Marylena your first experience with a girl?
 
"Yes, I already knew I was attracted to females but I had never acted on it, Marylena was the first and only girl I ever had the nerve to approach."
 
Why don't you tell me about when you met.
 
"Well...it was about a year ago.  I was invited to a college party by a my friend Alex Goth.  
I have known him all my life we went to the same school until his family sent him off to military school.  
He had come back and was living off campus.
He liked me and we actually dated very briefly but it went nowhere he was the first person I told about my feelings.  He is a good friend but I suppose partying with him always involved drinking.
Anyway, this particular party Alex had told me to come listen to him play the drums.  He is a music major and he is a pretty good drummer.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic1b.png)
I knew there would be alcohol pretty much flowing so I snuck out that night and made my way there.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic1a.png)
The place was the typical college party house.  There were a few people there and the music was loud.  I noticed a petite brunette at the bar.  Just my type!
This big jock was hitting on her.  She looked underage like me.  She was so pretty from what I could see but I hadn't seen her face yet cause she was facing the guy at the bar.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic1c.png)

Something in her body language told me she was uncomfortable there and with that guy hitting on her.  Dunno, like she was scared?  I watched for awhile and had two drinks.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic1d.png)
By the end of my second vodka I noticed the big lug had walked away.  She seemed so small and vunerable I just thought the hell with it let's just see how friendly she is with a girl.  So I walked up to the bar and sat next to her.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic1e.png)

I sat there awhile gathering my courage to talk to her.  My God she was beautiful!  I couldn't stop staring at her.  She met my eyes and caught me staring she smiled sweetly and looked away.
When she looked back at me.  I got close and asked her if she would like to dance with me.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic1f.png)
When I asked her to dance she got this shocked scared look on her face.  I thought great I have scared this cute girl to death and now she will run away for her life I started to tell her it's ok if you are uncomfortable dancing with a girl I get it.
Then she surprised me by smiling and saying "No...it's not that it's just that I have never been asked to dance by a girl it surprised me..that's all.  I would love to dance."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic1g.png)
We spent the rest of the night dancing.  The longer we danced the more uninhibited Marylena became.  We were having so much fun.  We took a few breaks, had a few beers inbetween the dancing.  Everyone was plastered at this party so there were no weird stares at the two girls dancing with each other.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic1h.png)
I had a few drinks in me, so I found myself touching her while we danced.  Marylena did not pull away she let me caress her face and hold her hands while we danced.  It was the first time I had done this.
I was wildly excited but scared too.  I had dated guys and all but this was my first time with a girl so I was nervous and afraid of being rejected as well.
Then...after dancing for hours...I was caressing Marylena's face I still wasn't sure she was responding to me or just tipsy and freespirited in her dance.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pici.png)
She caressed me back!  She pulled me close and kissed me softly on my lips!  It both shocked and moved me so I lost it I grabbed her right there and we made out right on the dance floor in front of everyone!
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/picj.png)
We spent the rest of that evening together.  We kissed a lot and woke up on the old grungy couch in each other's arms.  Nothing happened beyond making out really at least not that night but we have been together ever since that night.
Marylena had never been attracted to girl.  She still says if she had not met me she would never be with another girl but who knows?

So things between you are good?
 
"Yes very good except Marylena has asked me to stop drinking and I have tried but if I don't have a drink I can't sleep.  So I suppose my drinking is ruining our relationship."
 
Lilith?  Why don't you tell me why you need to drink to sleep?  When did this start?

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic1k.png)
"I started drinking after a bad experience that gave me nightmares..
I have never talked about it with anyone not even Marylena."

Lilith everything you tell me here is confidential.  It will not leave this office ever do you understand?  Maybe if you unload this  you will be able to finally sleep without drinking?
 
"I'm so tired of keeping this secret.  No matter what you will not tell anyone?"
 
I will not tell anyone.  I am legally bound to confidentiality.
 
Lilith let out a long sigh and sat down.  She was ready to talk.

This is interesting :) Different way of telling the stories - I'm not really that into the Pleasantview guys, been having too much fun in Strangetown :twisted: It's great to see what others make of them though :)

Thanks Sadie!  This is really the first time I have developed Pleasantview characters in my game.  But yeah Strangetown is my favorite too!

Ooh. update quick.

Nice cliffhanger, Vicky.  Good chapter.  Your pictures are beautiful!

Thanks Astral!  I hope to have an update up today.  I'm going to have to put in a little disclaimer since it deals with subject matter that could be disturbing to some people.
The next update will have Lilith recount being drugged and violated by a family friend.
I took great lengths to present it in a real yet pg13?  way if that makes any sense?
 
I am very much enjoying everyones comments they help motivate me to update and develop the story furthur, So please readers if you like this let me know?

I hope there will be more parts in this case 2 then it was is case 1.

Yes dogg there will be more.  In fact I plan to add to case one it's not closed yet.  Just a bit hard to update both at the same time but I do have a update in mind soon for case 1.

A small disclaimer:
The subject matter in this update drug-rape could be disturbing to some people.  But I have tried to be tasteful while keeping it real.  I definately feel it to be an appropriate subject matter since most of victims of this type of violation are teens or young persons.
With that in mind... on to the story.
 
 
Session 3 Continued...
 
Lilith...Please go on tell me what happened...
 
Last year my family took a vacation. It was a weird time in our family. My parents had come to the brink of divorce because of my father's affair with our maid.
Mom had forgiven him. She actually took time off her precious job to try to reignite their crummy marriage. They wanted to take us kids along since it was Summer vacation.
I was still in high school Angela had already graduated. She has always been a straight A student and the school advanced her one grade.
 
While my own grades were pretty bad. I have always had mediocre grades. My Mom had taken me to be tested and I was diagnosed with ADD.
I had been on meds for that for about six months and my grades had already improved from d's and c's to b's and c's so I guess I was pretty happy around that time.
 
For the first time my parents were not pointing their dissaproving finger at me and comparing me to my perfect sister. They were pleased with my progress and did try to let me know in their own way. Everything for once in our family was pretty good. My parents were not fighting we were going to a gorgeous private beach house to enjoy ourselves as a family, a REAL family.
 
Before we left for the trip Angela started moaning and groaning about how she did not want to leave her boyfriend for a whole two weeks. She was head over heels in love with Dustin Broke.
 
She met him her last year at high school and he basically moved in her real quick. If she wasn't over at his house she was on the phone with him.
He seemed like an OK guy, my parents liked him he was going to start the Police Academy in a month and Angela was upset because they would not have any time together once he started the academy and she herself would be starting Junior college as well.
 
My parents decided to let her bring Dustin along with us just to appease Angela. Honestly, at that time I didn't mind Dustin was good company and he kept Angela busy and out of my face we have always got on each other's nerves when we are together too long.
 
It was the third day at the beach house I had planned to work on my tan. That day my parents had chartered a boat to go deep sea fishing. They had invited us to go along but none of us really wanted to go and since it was an over night trip and expensive my parents left us for the day and one night to be back the next morning.
 
Later that afternoon after my parents left Angela started feeling really sick. It started with nausea that turned into projectile vomiting then she finally just got in bed and seemed to pass out.
 
I checked on her and she was just sprawled out in the bed like she had passed out. I tried to bring her out of it to see if maybe we needed to go to the hospital or dial 911 but she cursed me out and told me she just wanted to sleep to leave her alone.
 
So, I went to the beach and tried to get some sun while it was still up high. While I was laying out Dustin came out and sat by me. I had not seen him too much he had spent the morning with Angela while she was sick tending to her.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic2-5.png)
" She is sleeping and kicked me out." he announced sitting down by me.
 
We chatted for awhile. Dustin had never really spent anytime talking with me and his company was enjoyable.
 
I sat up and we spent about an hour just talking. At the time I had just broken up with Dirk Dreamer. He had been my boyfriend since we were actually kids.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic3-5.png)
Dirk dumped me for another girl and while I was furious at first I got over it. I have always been attracted to dark skin be it boy or girl and honestly Dustin being blonde was NOT my type at all. Our conversation was light and friendly and before I knew it the sun was going down.
 
Dustin went back in to check on Angela. He said she was sleeping peacefully so he didn't wake her. He started a little fire it was getting to the cool part of the night on the beach. My skin felt a bit feverish from all the sun.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic4-5.png)
 
Dustin suddenly decided he wanted to make some punch. He said it was going to be really good to try some. I had sneaked some drinks before and feeling kind of dehydrated from the sun a fruity spiked punch sounded great so I agreed to try his punch.
 
I felt so good that night. I had this amazing beach to myself a nice fire going and Dustin was going to provide the drinks, I figured I'll try the punch we will maybe play some cards and maybe Angela will get up feeling better and we can order a pizza.
 
While Dustin made the punch I went up and checked on Angela again. She was completely out. I grabbed some cold chicken leftovers in the kitchen and went back out to try Dustin's punch.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic5-5.png)
 
It was super strong after one cup I had really had enough but Dustin insisted I have another. I really didn't want another but Dustin was calling me a wuss and teasing me so I took a second cup of his concoction and downed it pretty fast.
 
It was at the end of the second drink when I started feeling strange. I had been drunk before but this was different. I felt my legs buckling and felt so dizzy.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic6-5.png)
 
I was stumbling and giggling I just felt really high. I had the feeling that Dustin was putting his hands all over me to keep me upright but instead of complaining I was giggling like a drunk idiot.
 
He held me up and I couldn't stand up straight. I could feel him rubbing up on me but it seemed to be dream like it wasn't really happening. I suddenly felt sick to me stomach and threw up.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic7-4.png)
 
Dustin took me over to the sea where I was sick he washed my face and continued touching me. I wanted to say stop it I think I might have but not sure it came out of my mouth at that point. Dustin held me and touched me allover while I was sick.
I remember thinking .....something is wrong this is not normal....
 
When I finally stopped vomiting I remember Dustin cleaning me up. Washing my face and trying to get me to walk over to a dry area. I couldn't really speak only moan and mouth words.
 
I knew at that point that Dustin had drugged me but I couldn't move or yell out or do anything the drug was making me so dizzy and sleepy I could barely keep my eyes open.
 
 
Dustin was talking to me I could hear his voice but his words were jumbled. He seemed to be telling me to lay down but even though I was on my feet I couldn't really move in any direction.
 
Inbetween his commanding me to lay I felt he was saying lewd things to me but it was dreamlike and I couldn't focus on his words.
 
I have no idea how long I teetered there it seemed like a long time after literally falling asleep standing I awoke to Dustin grabbing me from behind..he was whispering into my ear and I was so high I awoke laughing.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic8-4.png)
 
"Here Lilith let me help you. What's wrong with you? Haven't you ever had strong drink before? Don't worry I got you. Put your weight on me I'm going to set you down."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic9-4.png)
 
Dustin set me down on the sand. I was asleep yet I was completely aware of what was happening it was all like a vivid nightmare where you can't move or react.
 
In my mind I was saying to myself. OK Dustin has drugged you. You are both pretty drunk hopefully he will put you down and walk off somewhere and pass out himself or Angela will get up and help me.
 
But Angela didn't get up and help me and Dustin wasn't really drunk at all he was on top of me and he was removing my top. He was talking to me but his words were fragmented in my mind somehow.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic10-3.png)
 
I could also hear myself somehow moaning and mumbling not being able to say words clearly. While he was removing my top I was finally able to speak somewhat I remember saying No! don't touch me...but they echoed so weakly and stupidly out of my mouth.
 
I could hear Dustin whispering to me "I'm making you more comfortable Lilith...let me take this off....I could feel his entire weight on me now and his hands everywhere gropping and touching me under my swimsuit.
 
When he finally got my suit off I don't know but I woke up to him on top of me. Dustin is a big boy and I was in a lot of pain and I suppose that's what woke me up at that point.
 
 
It seemed to last forever him on top of me raping me. I continued to try to yell but all that came out of my mouth were moans that probably sounded like I was having a good ole time.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic11-3.png)
 
Dustin had been drinking beer and bourbon that day before the infamous punch and I suppose the bourbon made him unable to finish so he seemed to be on top of me for hours somehow I passed out again after an eternity of his hufffing and puffing on me.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic12-3.png)
 
I vaguely remember him carrying me at one point I suppose he brought me in the house. I was in and out at that point so I don't remember too much after that point.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic13-3.png)
 
I don't know how long I was on the couch. I don't remember getting my swimsuit back on or being put on the couch. I soppose Dustin put it back on me and left me there.
 
 
My mind was awake but my body was asleep I literally couldn't move for a long time. Gradually I willed the muscles in my body to wake up and slowly movement returned to me.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic14-3.png)
 
I was very sore but the effects of the drug seemed to be leaving me finally.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic15-2.png)
 
I sat there and cried for a long time. The house was dark Dustin was nowhere that I could see neither was Angela. The clock in the kitchen said it was 4:00 am. It was still dark out. I was still dizzy and nauseous but at least I could walk.
The realization of what happened to me left me numb. I had been drugged and raped by my sister's boyfriend. My mind swam with scenarios of me telling my parents. Visions of their faces and Angela's face. It overwhelmed me.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic16-1.png)
I made my way to the bathroom and got sick again. I took off my dirty swimsuit. I rinsed it out over and over again. I wanted to burn it. It was evidence of my stupidity of my dirty secret.
I showered for a long time I couldn't wash off Dustin's deposits from my body I lathered and rinsed myself over and over again yet still felt his hot sweaty body all over me.
 
I finally made my way to bed and passed out in a flood of my own silent tears. Angela was laying half on half off her bed. I went to her tried to pull her straight in her bed and wake her and tell her but she was out like a light.
Then it dawned on me. Angela had never slept like this Dustin had drugged her too! He had planned this. He drugged Angela so he could do this to me.
I dragged my sore body to bed and slept finally. I woke up the next morning to Angela calling to me from her bed.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic17.png)
 
"Lilith! Lilith? Mom and Dad are back I hear them downstairs. Ugh...I feel a little better today I'm going down for breakfast. You coming?"
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic19.png)
 
"No...I feel sick" I told her.
 
"Oh! maybe your getting the same bug I had yesterday. I hear Dustin! I'm going to make him some pancakes for breakfast!" she cooed.
 
I layed in bed wishing I was dead while Angela ran downstairs to prepare a pancake feast for her rapist boyfriend. I heard Mom, Dad, Angela and Dustin chatting hapilly around the table and realized I would never tell anyone a word about what had happened.
I just couldn't.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic1-7.png)
 
To be continued....

Wow!  Very powerful, Vicky!  I couldn't stop reading.  You did an awesome job of both dealing with a difficult subject and handling it tastefully.  And I just can't get over your beautiful pictures!  Poor Lilith!  Stupid selfish Dustin!  By the way, I love that look you gave him - especially the hair.  Nice job.

i love this! I wonder what will happen now :O

Thanks guys!  This was a hard update.  I'm glad you guys liked it.  I will try to update soon since we got to get Lilith to rehab soon lol!  Which I finally got built and populated.

Oh my god that slob! I am going to go on my sims and kill Dustin!
I hate dustin now. Poor Lilith.

LOL!  Zorom don't kill every hood needs some villans they keep things interesting!

LOL I suppose!

So when are you gonna update?? I wanna see what the therapist does.

Session Lilith Continued...
 
Lilith?  Did you confront Dustin at some point for doing this to you?
 
"Yes, but not right away.  I stayed in bed for two whole days I slept on and off but fragmented sleep because I kept dreaming of the rape.  I would see myself in my dreams drunk unsteady on my feet and Dustin hovering over me and doing obscene things to me that I wouldn't respond to or try to fight.
 
On the third morning, I got angry.  I decided why should I hide myself?  I had done nothing wrong.  Dustin was the criminal here.  So when I went downstairs to get some breakfast.  I felt incredibly weak from not eating for so long."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic1-8.png)
 
"Lillith!  Oh honey!  Are you feeling any better?  Oh honey you look terrible!"
 
"Thanks Mom... ( I knew I looked bad...three days of crying and laying in bed had I'm sure taken it's toll on my appearance.) I'm hungry is there anything to eat?"
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic2-6.png)
 
"Yes of course I serve you some right now.  Honey let me feel you do you still have a fever?  I think we should take you to the clinic you look terrible."
"Mom...honestly I feel better don't worry just give me something to eat."
 
At that point Dad jumped in and was scrutinizing me.  "Lilith you need to be checked what if you have mono?  
 
Tell us did you eat anything strange?  Or get bitten by a bug or something?  It could be lyme's disease or anything!  We should go right now to the clinic."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic3-6.png)
 
 
I didn't want to the clinic so I promised Dad that as soon as we went back home which would be tommorow I would see our family doctor.  "Honestly Mom, Dad I feel a lot better I just need to eat something."  That finally convinced Dad and Mom somewhat and Mom went off to fetch me some food.
 
Angela and Dustin were sitting over in the livingroom area.  I had purposedly not looked over there but I had to put my hateful eyes on Dustin at some point and now was as good as anytime.
 
He was sitting close to Angela with his hands behind his head.  He looked totally confident and comfortable.  That picture of him made my blood boil.  He wasn't even nervous about anything he was in control of his body language and wasn't worried about anything I could do.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic4-6.png)
 
"Gosh Lilith!  You look like death warmed over!  Do you want me and Dustin to pick you up anything from the pharmacy?" Angela's face registered just how bad I looked she did really look worried.  
Dustin quickly added "Yes we can do that just tell us what you need."
 
I imagined myself racing up to his face and spitting and screaming "YES.....DUSTIN CAN YOU PLEASE GET ME A BAT SO I CAN BASH IN YOUR FACE WITH IT?  THAT WOULD BE JUST FINE MAKE IT A STEEL ONE PLEASE I DON'T MIND RECOIL"
 
I thought I saw Dustin wink at me while he was speaking.  He seemed to wink and open his legs wide in some obcene gesture mean't to challenge me somehow.
  But since I was so angry at that moment I wasn't sure it wasn't my imagination.  If he could be cool as a cucumber so could I.  I would not allow him to see me fall apart.
 
So, I smiled sweetly at Angela and said No thank you to her offer.  Mom finally brought me a sandwich which I devoured and Angela and Dustin left for awhile and Dustin being out of the house immediately made me feel better.
Mom invited me for a swim she said the ocean was good after being sick that it would help me heal.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic5-6.png)
 
She was right.  I swam for about two hours mostly just feeling the water over my head the salty brine healing my sore muscles and spirit.  After my swim I showered I took special care in my appearance.  
I dressed  and put on heavy makeup.  The ancient egyptians would wear eye makeup to ward off evil. Other cultures such as native americans would apply paints to their face to do battle.   I followed their wisdom and when I was done I felt my painted face was the face of a warrior ready to do battle.
 
When I exited the bathroom Angela went in for her bath.  I knew Angela would take forever she always does.  She had in her arms a basket with her loofah, bath salts, candles, incense...she would be awhile.
 
Mom and Dad were outside grilling some ribs.  Dustin was alone.  He couldn't hide behind Angela's skirt so I took my opportunity to confront him.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic6-6.png)
 
I walked up to him and he tried to walk away.  "I'm going to get some cigarettes I'll be back."  His eyes looked worried.  That made me happy.  He wasn't so cool after all.
 
"No Dustin.  First tell me why you drugged and raped me.  Then you can go and get your cigarettes."
 
 He looked taken back for a moment.  Like maybe he had not prepared to be confronted tonight.  I think he honestly thought I would never bring it up and just hide from him.
Then he recovered his composure. and started laughing at me.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic7-5.png)
 
"Rape you?  I didn't rape you Lilith.  It's only rape when the girl says no and you never said no.  What happened between is us is regretable cause I am not interested in you at all.
You are nothing like your sister.  She is a class act.  She is beautiful, intelligent and has a future.
You on the other hand are a loser.  The only reason we had sex is because I was drunk and I felt sorry for you.  You are pathetic."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic8-5.png)
 
I could feel my blood boiling at every humiliating word that came out of his degenerate mouth.  "You drugged me you bastard!  What did you put in that punch?  I couldn't move or fight you.  You are a dispicable rapist.  What did you put in the punch Dustin?"
 
"I just put liquor in the punch Lilith!  Look I'm sorry it happened.  But if you think telling this lie about me forcing you is going to make me feel guilty you're wrong.
That night you and I had drunken pig sex!  That's all it was for me anyway."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic9-5.png)
 
"You bastard!  I should tell Angela.  I know you drugged her too so she would be asleep while you attacked me."
 
"Lilith?  you know your problem?  You feel guilty because of what we did and somehow telling this fairytale is going to excuse you from betraying your sister.
If you want to tell Angela go ahead tell her.  I tell her we were drunk and you took off your top and sat on my lap.  I beg her to forgive me and she will but I don't think she will forgive you."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/pic10-4.png)
 
"Dustin I want you to stay away from me.  If you ever come near me again I will kill you.  Believe that.  Stay away from our house I don't ever want to see you there.  Because if I see your face in my home I will tell everyone what you did to me.
Do hear me rapist?  You will stay out of my sight!
 
That was my confrontation with Dustin.  It was literally the last time I spoke with him or have seen him.  He has stayed away from the house.  Angela spends the night at his mother's trailer sometimes.  You know Doctor?  Dustin is a cop now.  He finished his academy.  Everytime I see a patrol car I think it might be him.  It sickens me.
 
to be continued...

Wow, powerful updates. This was done really well, right down to the attitude of the perpetrator. How these guys live with themselves I'll never figure out.

Far cry from the Dustin in my story, that's for sure...

Wow, dustin always seemed so innocent to me

Thanks guys!  I thought a lot about who would be Lilith's attacker and dunno...Dustin and his little  teenage juvenile delinquencies and his Mom being my new Sargent made him a good candidate.
I had just watched a cold case thing on the Natalie Holloway how the one guy was good looking and charming and I wanted to do something along the line of what I think happened to that poor girl.

OMG!!!! I am in awe and in shock! Great updates. Keep 'em coming.

First story was great but sad also; I was hoping that cassandra would finally find hapiness with that unfaithful husband and that he will become faihful at last; but, old mistakes went to payment; I'm sorry for cassie, maybe for him too...
and that bastard Dustin, hope will get what he deserve...

I'm working on first case hopefully will update soon.  Also working on update for case 2 so I'm slow..

Case 2
Session 2
part 6
Therapists Notes:
 
After Lilith had told me her story. She seemed visibly relieved somehow. We spoke of rehabilitation for her drinking. She would be in a detox unit for five days followed by a two week inpatient care unit to stabilize her before release.
Lilith agreed to sign herself in for treatment although her parents were still required to sign for her.
I explained to her that her signature would impress the judge that she was truly ready to put her previous behaviours behind her and she agreed.
 
The next morning Lilith checked in to the detox unit where I saw her on the third day.
Her demeanor was anxious, she also expressed she could not sleep I have prescribed an anti-depressant in a low moderate dose and a mild tranquilizer for bedtime so that she can sleep.
I gave her a notebook to keep as her journal and told her to begin keeping it in the after care facility.
She was to give it to the head nurse to forward copies to me via email.
 
Today I recieved copies of Lilith's journal via email
 
 
File Case 2
Patient: Lilith Pleasant
Diagnosis: Alcohol dependancy, depression, anxiety and post rape traumatic disorder.
 
To: Doctor Faith Givens
From: Lucy Burb MSN, Head Nurse, Pleasantville Hope Center
RE: Patient Journal
 
Lilith Pleasant

Journal entry 1

I have not felt much like writing in this journal up to this point. I promise to write more as I feel better. I spent a horrible five days in the detox unit.
I felt sick the whole time I was there. I had a private room and never really saw any other patients but I could hear them and they all sounded as miserable and sick as I was.

I have been at the aftercare unit for about four days, but since I am behind in my journal keeping I thought I would at least log in my first day.
The days that follow up to today I have mostly just fallen into the routine set out for us in the center.
We are woken up very early and kept busy all day long pretty much in meeting's inbetween those meetings are our meals and craft activities.

We go to bed at about 11pm and since we are all on meds and wake up so early sleep for once is not a problem for me.

My first day I was admitted by the Head Nurse Lucy Burb. She took down all my information and informed me of the rules and the routine I would be following.

Once she was done with that she asked me if I was nervous and frankly yes I was. I was in a mental home and had no idea what to expect especially of the other patients.

Lucy told me everyone at my unit was about my same age and not violent to relax and not worry no one would bother me.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p1-1.png)

That really did make me feel better.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p2-1.png)

"Lilith, I would like to see you use this time to put things into perspective. So you can see that although you have had some rough times there are other's who are much less fortunate than you."
With that she took me into the patient area. As I followed her she announced to the patients there who were watching tv that would be a group session to follow her.
A small group of about four patients gathered behind us and we all followed Lucy to the therapy room.

We sat down on a couch and Lucy sat in a chair facing us. She announced me as a new patient and the group all welcomed me.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p3-1.png)
"Lilith? Can you tell us about yourself a bit?"

"OK, I'm seventeen years old. I will be eighteen next month. I have a problem with drinking. I have two DUI's and the judge wanted to charge me as an adult if I didn't get help.

So, here I am. I just got out of a detox unit and my doctor wanted me to have follow up inpatient care for two weeks. Followed by AA afterwards.
I feel better physically but I still would love to have a drink so I suppose it's a good thing she didn't release me right away."

The only boy "John" who was there, was sitting next to me. He seemed really hyper and fidgity.
"Lilith? That's a pretty name! I like that. I have OCD I have tics and stuff but they are a lot better now"

John was working his way into a whole lot of talking except Lucy cut him off....

 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p4-1.png)

"John? We want to hear from Lilith now. OK? Lilith can you tell us why you drink?"

"Lucy? I was raped by a family friend and that started me drinking. I really don't want to talk about it right now though."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p5-1.png)

I had just gotten there I really didn't feel like telling my most guarded secret to a bunch of strangers.

"OK Lilith you don't have to talk about this right now if you don't want to."

"Lucy?" Yes Kaylynn?

"I can maybe make Lilith feel more comfortable if I tell her my story. I was raped before."

"You were raped Kaylynn?"

"Yeah! A call girl can be raped right?"

"yes if you didn't want to have sex and you were forced to it is rape even if you were a call girl."

Kaylynn was a hooker.....I was in shock she looked so young..

"OK here ya go Lilith....this is for you...mind you I don't like telling stories that make me look bad but you look like you need help opening up and stuff..

"Go ahead Kaylynn tell us what happened."

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p7-1.png)
 
"OK. My family was dirt poor. I had no father and my Mom was a druggy. That didn't help our economic situation none as you can well imagine.
So as soon as I realized that there were idiots that would pay to spend a little time with me I started selling it.
Not proud of it but not terribly ashamed either if ya know what I mean.

I ain't here cause I'm a whore I got this here thing that makes me hear voices. I usually try to stay on my medication but I ran out and it got bad so I ended up back here to git stabilamized."

Now back to my story. One night I was out it had been a good night I made enough money on account of the shriner's being in town for some secret convention.
They really like me cause I give'm a discount on account they help the cripples and stuff...

"Kaylynn?.....You were going to tell us about being raped remember? Did a shriner rape you?" Lucy asked trying to keep Kaylynn from straying too much from her story.

" OH NO! They's good people it wasn't them. I was walking home and was so happy cause I made enough to pay my rent on the trailer it was two months behind.
I went to my bus stop and this here cop pulled up and got out of his car.
He started hasseling me. I told him I was waiting on the bus but he arrested me anyway.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p8-1.png)

I was so pissed! I started yelling at him.
"Look Po Po since when is it illegal to wait for the bus?"

Just then I noticed he was heading in the wrong direction to go the police station. I was kinda confused for a moment so I yelled at him again.

"Yo! You're going the wrong way this ain't the way to the station!"
"Shut Up Whore! We are taking the scenic route" he had a really deep scary voice when he said that and right there and then I knew I was in a whole lot more trouble than just getting locked up for the night.

To be continued.....

What're the odds that cop's Dustin?

Nice update :)

Very good!
As a therapist myself, I have to tell you that a "Doctor-patient" confidental is being broken here.....:)

Can't wait for more!:tongue8:

LOL! Thanks! Yeah Dr. in my story really need to hush up about their clients! LOL! They are big gossips.
Sadie could be Dustin......yet ...Lilith will have to find out.

1. 84.3%
2. I agree. Great update.
3. Yet another story to follow......:D

Sadie79....I was thinking the same thing.

Good so far....waiting for more.

I taken most of the pictures to update this I just need to get rid of red lines and sharpen a bit as soon as I get that done I'll post them.  I have a big update on Don also but the sims on that story are all over the hood so it's taking me awhile to get them situated and everybody where they are suppose to be.

Case 1
part B
 
Patient: Cassandra Goth Lozario
 
File update: Last visit ten years ago for post divorce counselling.
 
Reason for today's appointment: Grief counselling and relationship help.
 
Therapist's Notes:
 
I had not seen Cassandra in approximately 10 years since she came to see me for divorce counselling court ordered by the judge as part of divorce procedures.
 
I saw her for four visits as mandated and her son who was a toddler at the time was evaluated by myself as a normal quiet child.
 
 
Cassandra or Cassie as she prefers to be called called the office this week and wanted to be seen as soon as possible to talk over some issues which have had her in a very confused state.
 
The following are my notes on said visit.
 
Hello Cassie! It was certainly a surprise to see you again after so long. How long has it been?
 
"It's been ten years doctor. I can hardly believe it myself it's gone by so fast...."
 
Well what can I do for today Cassie?
 
 
"Doctor honestly I never thought I would need to come back here again after my divorce I got my life in order and I thought I was doing OK. In fact I was doing OK for my son and myself.
 
At first I moved in with my father and his family and after awhile I got my own apartment. Don my ex-husband and I share custody of our son James who will be ten next month."
 
Cassie is he really going to be ten? It seems like only yesterday...
 
"Yeah I know for me too!"
 
Please Cassie go on...
 
During this time I have mostly dedicated myself to working and creating a nice home for James and myself. I hired a wonderful nanny who watches him after school until I get home. Don gets James every other weekend and Summer's so up until this point I have been caught up in the usual parental rut.
 
I have to admit I have been lonely. I dated briefly a very good man who has been in love with me since highschool but I ended it because I just didnt' feel any sparks.
It didn't feel fair to him or myself to force something romantic when I wasn't truly feeling it.
 
We still remain friends but since I broke off our relationship he sort of stopped taking my calls and avoided me. So I lost a friend.
 
The reason I came to see you today is I feel very torn and confused. Something happened recently that may change my life again and I need to talk about this with someone who is neutral and can help me sort through all the pro's and con's and I knew that I could do that with you Doctor."
 
Cassie I will be happy to help you sort out your feelings. Why don't you tell me what happened.
 
"OK, well I was home with James. We were waiting for Don to pic him up for his weekend with his Dad. Then I got this hysterical phone call from Dina my Dad's wife. She was in the hospital with Dad he had suffered a massive heart attack and I needed to come right away.
 
I dropped everything and ran to the hospital. I was so scared. Dina was so crazy on the phone she had not given any details so I didn't know how serious Daddy's condition was.
 
When I arrived at the hospital Dina was waiting for me at the entrance since I didn't know what room Daddy was or anything.

"Oh Cassie thank god you're here! Morty's dying on me! He is in critical care Cassie! They told me to call in all his family!" Both Dina and I wept in our embrace. Daddy....dying...
 
"Cassie? He is in coma he hasn't woken up it's so hard...Look...The kids are in the child's playroom area right over here send James in with them so we can go in and see Morty."
 
Did you call Alex? Dina you have to call Alex!
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p2-2.png)
 
"I already did he is on his way. He was at the beach house so takes awhile he should be here soon though."
 
"James honey? Momma needs you to be grownup now and go sit with the twins in that playroom over there. Your Granpa is sick and I have to go with your Aunt Dina and go take care of him for a bit.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p3-2.png)
 
Can you be a big boy for me and stay with the twins for awhile and watch them for us?"
"Don't let them leave that area and if you need anything ask the nurse to get us ok?"
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p4-2.png)
 
"Momma? Is Granpa going to be OK?"
 
I'm not sure James we have to talk to his doctor first. You go James you are older than the twins so I want you to be in charge and keep them safe OK?
 
"Yes Momma I promise."
 
James went into the playroom. He was a good boy.
 
I watched and listened from the other side to see how the kids were holding up.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p5-2.png)
 
"Hi James!"
Hi Mathew! Hi Caitlin!
We have to stay here while our moms tend to granpa.
 
"Yeah Mom's been crying and carrying on a whole lot. She always goes crazy when Poppa even sneezes!"
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p6-2.png)
 
"I think Poppa's got a fever cause she is really upset. I told her not to cry that Poppa just needs his shots but she wouldn't stop. James you think Poppa will be OK after his shot's?"
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p7-2.png)
 
I don't really know Caitlin...I hope so.
 
"Yeah...he'll be good as new...you worry too much Caitlin!"
 
With that and my own broken heart I followed Dina to Daddy's room.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p8-2.png)
 
His appearance shocked me. He looked so pale and old. Poor Daddy..He looked like he was asleep but I could tell by his appearance he was really bad.
 
 
Dina had not exaggerated he looked like he was dying. "Dina what are his doctor's saying?
 
"They said that all they could do was keep him comfortable the nurse comes in and give's him morphine every few hours. His organs have shut down so there is nothing they can do.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p9-1.png)
 
I held my father's hand and spoke to him. "Daddy I'm here it's Cassie! I love you so much Daddy. You have been a wonderful father to me and all your children.
You never left our side even when our own mother abandoned us. You are good man Daddy. You don't have to hold on for us. We are together and we will all help take care of Dina and your babies.
So if your spirit wants to go to god it's ok...go with our love daddy....and then I broke down and Dina broke down yet again and the pain of losing my father overwhelmed me intensely.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p10-1.png)
 
Finally my brother got there. I was so afraid he would not get to see Daddy. While I was updating Alex on Daddy's condition. A nurse came in and checked on Daddy.
She said he could go on like this for awhile so we should probably get someone to take the children home.
 
Just then my cellphone went off. Ugh I had forgotten about Don picking up James.
"Cassie? I'm here in front of your apartment did you forget I was soppose to pick up James?"
 
I filled Don in on what was happening. He wanted to come to the hospital and pick up James but I said no to wait until the morning. I wanted to go home and get some things for him to take with him and he could pick him up early tommorow morning before I returned to the hospital.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p12-1.png)
 
We decided I would drop off the twins at the house they had a live-in Nanny and I would go home and get some sleep and come back first thing in the morning.
"Cassie go home I will stay here with Dina tonight that way when you come back she can go home and get some sleep."
 
So I went home, fed James and put him to bed. My nerves were fried. I hardly ever drink but I really needed to get some sleep so I fixed myself a brandy.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p13-1.png)
I kept going over the image of my sick dying father in that hospital bed. I must say I have never felt more sorrow than on that night. He had been feeling sick that whole week and chalked it up to the flu.
Dina had found him collapsed in the bathroom that morning and called the ambulance.
He had not been concious and she knew it was not good. Dina really did love Daddy and she was not dealing well at all. She will probably need grief therapy after the inevitable.
While my mind raced with these thoughts my doorbell rang.
 
I jumped it startled me. "Oh no now what? Who the hell could it be at this hour?"
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p14.png)
It was Don. "Don? What are doing here? I told you to pick up James in the morning! He is asleep!"
 
"Yes Cassie I know...I came to see you. I went to the hospital and saw your Dad. I'm truly sorry Cassie Mortimer is a good person. I wanted you to know he will be missed by many people including me.
 
May I come in?"
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p15.png)
 
 
Yeah...OK.
 
"How are you doing Cassie? Is there anything I can do for you? I want to help you in anyway possible if I can."
 
Don...there's nothing you can do. My father is dying there's nothing anyone can do. He is dying and his kids are first grader's they won't know what kind of man he really is because they are only babies and there is no time for them to get to know...
With that I broke down and started crying emptying out my pain. I had to be strong for Alex, for Dina, for James, for the twins Daddy would have expected me to be strong but I didn't feel strong I felt like a sad little girl with no more Daddy....
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p16.png)
 
Don put his arms around me and comforted me and his touch was warm and safe and familar to me in that moment of sadness.
 
He spoke to me softly..."Don't cry Cassie...Don't cry baby I'm here....I love you...I have always loved you...It's going to be ok....I love you Cassie.....I love you don't cry....and in his arms I felt comforted and loved.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p17.png)
 
"Cassie let me hold you....I'm here...my love....I'm here..."
 
I sobbed and released my tears into Don's big strong shoulder. He continued to whisper into me ear.
"I love you Cassie, I never stopped loving you....let me hold you baby like I use to before Cassie let me love you Cassie..."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p18.png)
 
Honestly before I knew it we were kissing and touching each other all over.
Somehow within the sorrow and sadness my crazed feelings turned into a roaring passion. The more Don whispered into my ear and kissed my tears the more I wanted him!
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p19.png)
There's one thing for sure about Don is that he doesn't miss a beat. He has impecable timing when it comes to lovemaking. I was in desperate pain and making love with Don for some crazy reason seemed like the right medicine for me at that moment.
 
Don is an amazing lover. When I first married him I was probably too young to appreciate his talent in that area but time makes us all grow and learn to appreciate what we no longer have.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p20.png)
 
While we kissed I could feel Don's excitement and his heart beating wildly. He picked me up and carried me over to a bar stool. He lifted me up on to the stool and stepped up his tempo and I felt myself matching his own greedy hands..
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p21.png)
 
We made incredible love that night. On the barstool until it hurt.
 
Then he carried me over to the couch...He took off my clothes and ripped his own off quickly..
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p22.png)
I finally stood up and gave him my hand he followed me to my bedroom were we finished what we couldn't have stopped at that point even if we tried.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p23.png)
I slept peacefully in the arms of the only man I have ever really loved since I was a young woman. I didn't want to think about Daddy, Dina, Alex, the twins or even James...I just wanted to be in bed with Don at that precise moment.
All other things would be there for me to deal with in the morning but this night gave me fire, Don's fire given in love for me to be able have the energy and stamina and life-force to carryon.
Making love with your true love does that it gives you fire...
 
A few hours later I opened my eyes. It was 4:30am. Don opened his eyes he wanted to talk..
"Cassie....I'm going to ask Nina to leave, I don't love her I never have..I have never loved any woman but you. I'm going to sue for custody of Donna Rose. Nina doesn't want her she ignores her competely. Donna Rose is practically being raised by her nanny.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p24.png)
 
"Don....my Dad is dying now...I don't have energy to give to this now. Do what you want to do. For now don't ask anything of me because I need to spread myself amoung other people who need me.

Patients Journal part B
Continued...
 

I didn't know this cop he was new.  At least new to me.  Most of the cops in my part of town just want us to stay off the intersections cause well ya know we slow traffic down and all...
So I'm sitting in this police car and this cop is just driving not saying anything or answering me.
He drove to this real isolated part of town.  I was starting to worry.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p9-2.png)
I told myself OK...he wants to get a little you can handle this he ain't bad looking give'm some and then he will probably let you go.
Suddenly his radio went off with a female dispatcher calling out.  "Bravo 263 what's your Twenty?"
He picked up and answered "Black water stop over" The dispatcher woman answered "ten four"  From dating trucker's I knew that mean't he was on coffee break.
So now I knew he wasn't really arresting me but had other plans....
He parked his car by a road sign to make it look like he was watching for speeders and took me out of the vehicle.  He ordered me to walk into the woods with him behind me watching out.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p10-2.png)
I tried to talk to him.  "Look mister if ya wants some loving why didn't ya say so? I can give ya that!  I can give ya anything you want in that arena baby.."
"Shut up and keep walking!" he barked.  Damn he was going to be rough I could tell.  He was one of those angry bastards that was going to kick my ass and do me bad."  I at that point decided to just let him do whatever it was and keep my mouth shut and hopefully if I didn't fight him he would not be too rough.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p11-2.png)
Forgetting to keep my mouth shut I complained about the dirt getting on my shoes that pissed him off...So he yelled at me to keep walking..."Look I told you I would give it to ya for free!  There ain't no need to be nasty!"
Then he told me to get on the floor and that if he wanted something he took it and he didn't need my handout he would take what he wanted when he wanted.  He pushed me down on the ground and asked me if I had rubbers.  The handcuffs were still on me and he had my purse.  "Yeah of course I do in my bag."  He told me to stay and that if I moved he would shoot me.  Then he went back to his patrol car  I considered running but I was handcuffed and on my back also in superhigh heels I wouldn't get too far and this crazy bastard would catch me and then really give it to me or even kill me maybe so I stayed put.
He came back with the rubbers and got on top of me.  I was still and when he was done he pulled me up and pulled up my underwear.  I was really tired of playing around with this creep so I asked him "Baby that was so good ya wanna go again or can I go now?"
"In due time.  First let's see how much money your hot little snatch made this evening..."  He started going thru my purse.  He found my money.  There was $1,200 in there.  All my damn money.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p13-2.png)
I started yelling at him.  "Come on!  Don't take all my damn money!"
"I think my girlfriend needs a night out.  Yeah.....a real nice night out in the town in style..."
"Don't take my money!  Come on at least leave me some!"
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p14-1.png)
"Look from now on if you want to spread your legs in my beat you are going to have to pay me my due.  I'm taking it all tonight next time I will take half, then a straight forty percent everytime I see you in my beat.  Otherwise we go take a nice drive like we did tonight and I take it all including your special wares.  Got it?"
Then he took me back to the bus stop and I went home BROKE AGAIN DAMNIT!
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p15-1.png)
"That damn bastard took all my money that night.  Since then I stayed away from that area and haven't seen that creep.  Took all my damn money....
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p16-1.png)
"Kaylynn!  What did this guy look like?  I have to know!  The thought that it might be Dustin made my head spin.  Dustin with a badge raping and robbing women on the street!  OMG!  This was my fault!  I let him become a cop and now he was doing this to other women!
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p17-1.png)

"He was a big guy and honey when I say big know that it means all over... Muscle freak with close crop cut like military ya know?"
I thought about it....Dustin was not built up he was slender...yeah he was impressive in the all over way Kaylynn was alluding too but not muscled...maybe it wasn't him.  Also I couldn't see him shaving off his precious blonde hair it's what Angela liked about him to start with....I wasn't so sure anymore it was him.
Lucy thanked Kaylynn for sharing her story and ended our group.  It was time for lunch then medications.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/21.png)  

We all stood in line except Kaylynn who was playing with the old small dog that was the hospital mascotte.  Finally Lucy called out to her to get her to take her meds.  The medication seemed to help calm me down and help me relax.  John the OCD boy followed me around all day.  He was sweet but he wouldn't shut up.  I was starting to think he had a little crush on me...I would have to tell him I was spoken for...Marylena would get a kick out of it when I tell her.  Visitation is on Saturday evening...I miss her so much.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p19-1.png)
"Lilith here's the schedule!  We have to look at it and follow it if we don't Lucy get's real pissed and she tells your doctor then you can never get out of here!"  John stood transfixed going over the schedule over and over again...it sort of broke my heart his anxiety about details of nonsense.  Lucy was right there were other's who really were suffering besides myself and would try to remember that to help keep my problems in perspective.
We were kept busy the whole day then it was bedtime and I slept pretty deeply except for bedchecks which were pretty much every fifteen minutes.  I was annoyed at being woken up so much but with the meds I would fall right back asleep.
Tomorow I will be allowed to phone home.  I can't wait to talk to Marylena I wonder how she is doing...
To be continued....

Another great update! Keep 'em coming.

I love this! I always love Pleasantview stories, but this one's special - and the pics are great too! I've actually thought about writing Don's story involving a psychiatrist, but then dropped it - good call, I couldn't have done it as well as you. Keep up the good work and update soon. :)

Edit: Just gave you 5 stars. You deserve it. ;)

Aww..Thanks Yippee another reader!  Thanks so much for the star!  LOL!  It really does make your day when anyone comments on your story.  Makes me want to ingame and make Don go home and kick Nina out!
The next update will have a seriously peeved Nina...

This cop is Dustin I'm almoust sure, right? Cause if it is,  two testimonies are bether then one, and i hope he will pay for the things he's been done! I love this update! (just little feelin' sorry for Angela altought)

Yeah star you are right Angela should know about her boyfriend....Pleasantville is a small town somebody is going to let her know...or maybe she will catch him?

Hehe, that would be great-to catch him!

great update!
I let you in on a little therapist secret.....90% of the time we're writing "notes" we're really doodling....TELL NO ONE!!!!  :-P (that's why i tape record...very boring)
If you want other jokes/what we're really doing/pet peeves of therapist just let me know...
Good story
Dr.e

LOL! I would love to see the doodles of the therapist while listening to Cassandra tell of her being seduced by Don...LOL!
My all time favorite fictional movie character therapist has to be Sixth Sense Bruce Willis character. I love that movie.
 
I had not thought about highlighting my therapists within my story but yes that would be so interesting....have to give it some thought on how I would bring in that character's story.
Right now I'm taking forever setting up pictures for next update. It involves group pictures which are not my forte.

I have been slowly reading this, but now I'm updated I have to say... Wow! The idea is excellent, and very original, and the pictures are so vibrant! What's your secret to taking such outstanding pictures? Lol. This is definitely being added to my fav list. :D

I never saw Dustin as evil, he was just the poor kid who got a lot on his shoulders from his mother and rebelled, and Angela just wanted to have a cool rebellious boyfriend. But I certainly like your take on it. Well, the rapist part isn't pleasant, but every story needs a villain, like ESG (except he's mostly a control freak) lol.  

I'm looking forward to the next update. :P

Thanks disco! I am struggling with the next update. Because it involves so many sims that are not in the same household if that makes any sense. I also want to bring in Dustin very own story so I have a lot to do...got some done but still a lot to do.
 
On my pictures I use editing to sharpen them and I always contrast I think it makes the pictures look more crisp.
 
btw all my characters are Maxis premade with makeovers and many, many defaults.

I for one hope to see an update soon... :)

I am slowly working on it I got distracted been building some houses and doing a challenge.  I will get to it hopefully this weekend.

So, you actually didn't do surgery to any of your characters?  I'm quite astonished, as you've found a look for everyone that suits them so well.  They all look spectacular, and much prettier than ever.  Particularly Dustin - can't get over how different he looks - but I LOVE the look you gave him.

Every story needs a villian, indeed, and Dustin fits quite well in this role.  Very believable plot points and stories.  This is a fun read - gluing me to my seat with all the twists and turns.  And your pictures are just fabulous to look at!  They give everything such a warm and serious tone.  

Kaylynn is just beautiful!  Poor girl - I really feel for her.

Great job, Vicky!  Well done!

Hi Astral!  No I do some nips and tucks on some of the sims usually lips to plump them up.   But the skintone defaults do help enormously and so does makeup!  LOL!  Kaylynn is the maid aged down to teen.  As in the one that had an affair with Daniel Pleasant.  LOL!  
She does have a really pretty face.  No matter what you put on her simple makeup or heavy she looks great.

Session 1
Part 2
 
Cassie please continue with your story...
 
"Well...the next morning I was off to the hospital and Don kept Little James. Daddy was real bad. All of us stayed by his side it was a matter of hours really he had left.
That evening Daddy died. He never awoke out of his coma so we were unable to say our goodbyes to him and have him hear us...or maybe he did?
It was a lovely service. Don was there. He stayed with me throughout the whole thing. I let him stay at my apartment for the few days while I mourned my father.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p2-3.png)
 
I have to say his presence was a comfort to not only little James but me as well. After about a week I asked Don to leave. I told him I was grateful for his support but he still lived with another woman and things were not settled between he and Nina.
If he wanted to be with me he was going to have to leave her and tell her it was over.
 
Don agreed to my terms. In fact he had contacted an attorney and begun the process to have sole custody of his little girl Donna Rose.
I had actually met Nina's little girl and she was a very sweet little girl, I had no problems with her being a part of our life together if we reunited for good.
Don told me he would do it that very night. He said to give him one night and he would talk to Nina and come back to me a completely free man that night.
As fate would have it. Don didn't make it home that night...
I had taken James over to Dina's house so he could spend some time with Dina's kids they seemed to enjoy when he went over and the twins had been so sad since Daddy passing.
So with James having an over night visit the house was quiet and I lay down awhile to read. I sort of expected Don to be home by now and was wondering what was taking him so long.
Just then the doorbell rang. I thought it was Don so I ran in my nighty and opened the door without even checking the peephole. Imagine my shock when I saw the two police officers at my door.
It was almost surreal "Mrs.Lothario?" "Yes I am Mrs. Lothario-Goth."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p1a.png)
 
"Madam there has been a shooting, we need you to come with us."
At that point I think I swooned. Don had been shot! He was in the hospital in stable condition. I quickly ran to change and followed the police officers to the hospital.
Don was going to be ok. He had lost quite a bit of blood but he had asked the police to come get me before he made a statement. I sat next to him while he told them what happened.
Officer, I had gone to see Nina Caliente at her job the Hair Affair on Lotus Road. She is the manager of the salon so I had to wait until she closed the salon to speak to her since it was very busy when I got there.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p4-3.png)
Nina finally closed the shop and sent the employees home. She was angry. See Nina and I share an apartment together and I had not been home for over a week.
So she took her sweet time and made me wait I suppose out of spite. "Nina I have been waiting here for an hour and a half. I need to speak with you."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p3-3.png)
"Really Don? You know I sort of wondered where the hell you have been for a week! I left you messages on your cellphone but you didn't return my calls! Now you want to talk?"
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p8-3.png)
 
I told her it was over. I told her I was moving out she could keep the apartment and I was taking our daughter Donna Rose, since she never spent anytime with her.
"So who is she Don? anybody I know?"
"You are leaving me for some new whore?"
This is where I made a big mistake and told her I was going back to Cassie.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p9-3.png)
"Cassie took you back?"
"Yes" I answered a bit too forcefully. "I only came to tell you that whatever was between us which was not much of anything anyway is over. I have already removed my things from the apartment and I have moved Dona Rose and Jackie (nanny) into a hotel until the realtor finds us an apartment.
My attorney is preparing the paperwork for me to have full custody of Donna Rose. You should get the paperwork sometime this week. I suggest you sign it since we both know you really have no interest in our daughter.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p7-3.png)
"What makes you think I would just sign over my daughter so you and Cassandra Goth can raise her?"
"Nina, it's what's best for Donna Rose. If you want to fight in court fine, get an attorney and we will fight. I will bring up your little history with narcotics and alcohol that landed you in rehab a few years back."
With that I turned around and made my way to the door. I knew it was dirty to bring up Nina's past. But, Nina is a cold and neglectful Mother I needed her not to use Dona Rose to hurt me.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p10-3.png)
Nina was rambling. "Do you really still love that woman after all this time?" she sobbed. Ugh...I prefered angry Nina to weepy, pathetic Nina...I answered her cruelly..."I have loved Cassandra Goth ever since I set eyes on her Nina, she is the love of my life, always will be.
I never felt anything for you that wasn't any deeper than below the waist."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p11-3.png)
"Don unlike you I did love you so much. I prayed each day that you would return that love. I even had your baby hoping she would bring you around to loving me the way I loved you."
"Nina Stop it! I never told you we would be together forever!"
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p12-3.png)
"Yes I know Don. But you didn't exactly kick me out of your bed did you? You let me obsess over you and continue to love you even tho you knew, I really loved you."
Without turning around I answered her curtly "Goodbye Nina! It's been real! Real over!"
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p13-3.png)
"No Don! If you won't be mine...you won't be Cassandra Goth's either..
 
 
To be continued...

Ooh! Good chapter. Just when things are going right for Cassie and Don, Nina has to ruin it! Very dramatic. And for some morbid reason I like the coffin, adds a nice realistic touch! :D

Just wondering, what default eyes do you use?

Well, you know I don't really like Nina much, but Don isn't exactly shining in this episode. I mean, you can't share a bed with a woman for years then just say "Oh, I never loved you, bye!" and expect it to go smoothly.

disco I just looked thru my folder and I forgot what default I have in there I will try to find out as soon as I figure it out I will send you a pm.  Stupid download folder is a mess didn't see it there.
I usually love Anva eyes it might be a default made by somebody else based on her eyes.
I love Dragon Mandy's eyes too they are so nice.

More, more...I want more. I went to click over the page and found there wasn't another....:(.  
I found a link on the home page and clicked it and it lead me here and I'm glad I did.
Vicky I love your stories... I can't wait, till the next episode. Who needs Days of our lives or the like, when you have Pleasantview Secrets....
I love it...Great work

more, more, more ......please :)

Aww..thanks promise! The only thing that is hard with these stories is moving my sims around since each chapter requires back and forth between sets. I am a dweeb too instead of using sets I build entire structures!
So of course I get drawn into the design of that for days.
 
btw: I have links to all new updates on the first page of this since I go back and forth with case one and two to try to sort of keep it straight.
 
I am a fickle gemini I find it so hard to stick to one story so I have too many going on at once!  LOL!  I am itching to add a case three yet I know it will be so  hard to keep all three going...Oh guys check out my black widow challenge please on kielen and Brenda's forum!  I doing it story style and trying to make in funny and insane, I think the insane part is on track lol!  link is on my siggy!

That Nina is crazy woman; I love the update!

Great take on the Pleasantview life!  I won't be able to look at any of them the same way again.  I'm looking forward to another update.

Oh my gawd! I didn't expect the shooting, but I knew he would have hell to pay when he say Nina again. Great update!!!!!!

More...more....please............

Case 2
Pleasant Family
Private Session Mary-Sue Pleasant
 
I received a call from my assistant that Mrs.Pleasant wanted to see asap. While I usually don't take weekend appointments, I had her schedule Mary-Sue on a Saturday evening.
 
Mary-Sue was waiting for me when I arrived and opened up the office. I unlocked the door and switched on the lights to the office and asked Mary-Sue to have a seat.
 
"Doctor, I am very grateful you are seeing me tonight. I know you don't see patients on weekends."
 
It's no trouble Mary-Sue my assistant did say it was urgent. I checked on Lilith at the clinic this afternoon and she was fine...
 
"This is not about Lilith Doctor, Lilith is doing great. Marylena has found an apartment for both of them and they are planning to move-in to it as soon as she is released."
 
So this visit is for yourself personally?
 
"Yes, I don't know quite how to begin so I suppose I should start by saying that I have asked Daniel to move out and filed for a divorce."
 
Are you having a difficult time with your separation from Daniel?
 
"Actually...no Daniel and I have not been a couple for quite awhile. That whole incident were he was acused of sexual battery has been dropped the girl admited she was lying. Truthfully I used it as an excuse to end a really dead marriage."
 
So how can I help you Mary-Sue?
 
"Doctor? Will this visit be part of Lilith's record or can it be separate from the judges report?"
 
It can be completely separate and confidential Mary-Sue.
 
Mary-Sue took a deep breath and exhaled deeply. "Good because I need some help. I have sort of backed myself into a corner...
 
"You know I am a mortgage broker, well about six months ago before Daniel's arrest I did a closing for a gentleman named Ajay Loner on a luxury condo. He was an out of towner relocating in our community.
He was incredibly attractive and flirted with me shamelessly. Don't get me wrong I have been hit on by many men and never been tempted but this man made my knees weak. Ajay Loner is a self-made man. Like me. He started his own business making electronic parts in his garage in Strangehood. He had decided to relocate to Pleasantville after he lost his last family member. He felt he needed a new start somewhere new.
 
His mortgage took awhile because all his records are for a self employed person and the lenders require more documentation. So I got to spend a lot of time on either on the phone with Ajay or in my office. Every time we spoke he asked me out and each time I turned him down.
It wasn't that I wanted to so much be faithful to Daniel as the fact that as attracted I was to Ajay Loner, he was younger than me by about 8 years.
The age difference somehow made me uneasy.
 
Finally on the day of the closing for his condo we were left alone after the realtor and notary had left. Ajay had signed the usual gazillion papers required at closing and didn't seem to want to leave.
My God! He was so beautiful! I found myself chatting with him for about half an hour after everyone had left."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p1-4.png)
 
"So welcome to Pleasantville Ajay!"
 
"I think you are going to be happy here"
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p2-4.png)
 
"Well of course all that depends on if you will have that dinner with me. I am new in town and I hate to eat alone, What do you say?"
 
I found myself saying yes before my mind realized it. I met him at a very remote seafood restaurant Ajay chose it I suppose to pacify my concerns. He knew I was married, he also knew I was attracted to him I suppose I found it difficult to hide. I continued to meet Ajay for drinks, dinners and once at a spa.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p3-4.png)
Up until that point our relationship was still platonic. It was easy for me to get away from home on late evenings I could always say we had a late closing and my family was used to my crazy long hours so no one even wondered where I was when I was with him. We alway went to remote locations for our outing so no one really knew me or Ajay there."
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p4-4.png)
This particular evening we were having dinner together. Ajay had never touched me before. So when he took my hand during dinner and laced his fingers with mine my heart skipped a beat!
 
"Mary-Sue...I am so happy we have met, you have no idea how lonely I have been.."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p5-4.png)
 
"I want to propose a toast to a new life in Pleasantville!"
 
"Here, here!"
 
"Mary?, I think it's time you came over to see my place. We can have a real drink I have a fully stocked bar, you never seen my place."
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p6-4.png)
 
It was definately a loaded invitation we both knew what it mean't. I looked into Ajay's eyes knowing there was no turning back and told him I would love to see his place.
 
Ajay's house was very dark and masculine just like him. I was so nervous after he showed me the house I sat on his couch and guzzled my scotch trying to ease my nerves. Ajay sat next to me and simply put his arms around me and smiled.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p7-4.png)
"You smell so good Mary, I been wanting to have you here ever since I first saw you." I don't know what is wrong with me but I have never felt like this with any man. I was literally shaking in his arms.
 
He reached over and pulled my two legs over his lap and kissed me so slowly yet intensely that I thought I would faint for wanting him. His mouth probed my own and his kiss was not only sweet but deep and intensely passionate. When he ended his kiss it was with a small bite tease of my lower lip. To say I was turned on by his touch is definately an understatement.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p8-4.png)
 
We kissed and caressed each other on that couch for a good part of the night, until the desire could not be held back.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p9-4.png)
In Ajay Loner's arms I felt a passion I have never known with any man. After Ajay made love to me in time suspended passion, I literally collapsed in his arms entirely spent.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p10-4.png)
While I recovered my energies and breath in his strong arms he whispered into my ear..."Mary, I am crazy about you, leave Daniel and stay with me. We can live together, get married, or whatever you want, as long as I can have you in my bed every night."
 
To be continued....

great update, hope another one will be soon

update on both of the cases and nina is sooo mean

LOL!  Nina is just a little bit fatal attraction, too bad Don doesn't love her because they are really both alike in their selfishness.

Case 2
Mary-Sue Pleasant
Private session part 2
 
"Since that night Ajay and I have been seeing each other on a regular basis. I suppose guilt over my hidden relationship with Ajay is what made me stay with Daniel during his legal ordeal.
Ajay was upset with me for not just leaving him right away but, I felt I at least owed him to not leave him while he was down."
 
"Mary-Sue, it sounds like Ajay could be someone you would be happy with. What is stopping you from going for it?"
 
"Nothing really, I think at first the girls will be a bit shocked and maybe uncomfortable with the idea, but Ajay is a wonderful man in time they would accept him, I believe.
 
See, I have not seen Ajay for about a week now. We sort of quarreled because he wants me to move more quickly on my divorce.
 
I had spent the weekend at his house. I told everyone I had to go to a conference out of town. Ajay was quiet and moody we were in his hot tub when he finally spoke up.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p11-4.png)
 
"Mary-Sue, I cannot share you with another man anymore. I need you to decide if you want to be with me or Daniel. You had your chance for a clean break when he was arrested yet you chose to stay by his side."
 
"Ajay, I told you that as soon as his case was resolved I would ask him to leave and file for divorce. I did that. I asked him to leave. He asked for two weeks to find a place."
 
"Yes, but you haven't told your kids about me or Daniel. It's like I'm a dirty little secret for you. Do you ever plan on telling your family about me or are we allways going to have to sneak around?"
 
"Ajay, As soon as Daniel moves out and Lilith is discharged from the hospital I will tell them about you." Now at this point Ajay was happy again and we had a wonderful time that weekend.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p16-2.png)
 
I decided to take the bull by the horns and help Daniel find an apartment. The apartment will be ready in a few days and finally Daniel will be out of the house. My attorney has already filed the paperwork for our divorce and since Daniel is broke, the girls are grown, and I want a fast divorce I have agreed to sell the house and split the equity with Daniel so he also rebuild his life.
 
Everything was going fairly smooth. Then last week I started getting sick. I thought I might have the flu but when I pulled out my calender I realized I was late! Real late as in two and half weeks. It wasn't outright nausea as much as a weird malaise of tiredness and just feeling queasy.
 
I went to the pharmacy and bought one of those kits. I was thinking....could it be an early menopause?
 
I waited til Angela left for school and Marylena had left for work. I didn't go to work that day.
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p20-1.png)
 
I fumbled with the package and directions. My heart was pounding! Could I be pregnant? My God Angela and Lilith are adults this is crazy! I was still married to Daniel This was so stupid a grown woman like myself in this position. I had not used birth control in years because Daniel had a vasectomy after the twins.
I had bought some kind of gel in the pharmacy and been using that. Obviously Daniel and I were not doing it so I kept it hidden in my office under lock.
That one time, We were in the hot tub I forgot to bring it with me. Ajay had, well you know at the last moment but....I know that doesn't matter that it only takes one drop.....
I looked at my watch it had been five minutes...and well."
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p21-1.png)
 
"I haven't told anyone Doctor. Only you just now. I told Ajay I would see him tonight but I need to clear my mind first."
 
 
"Mary how do you feel about having another child?"
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/baby-1.png)
 
"I'm terrified! After I had the twins, honestly Daniel was a huge dissapointment so the idea of more children was out of the question. Our marriage was shaky, so I basically threw myself into my work and concentrated on raising the girls.
The girls were no picnic to raise, Daniel has always been a too lenient Father so they were really wild as kids. Now that they are grown and Lilith is receiving therapy I felt the pressure of mothering to be somewhat lifted."
 
 
"Mary-Sue? You haven't told Ajay yet have you?"
 
 
"No...Ajay is very much alone in this world except for me. His last living relative died about two years ago and he is an only child. He has told me before that he feels very much alone.
 
I think Ajay would be happy. I just don't know if I'm happy about this. I keep thinking this was unplanned but it could be wonderful. Ajay is a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work so hard. I could stay home and really nurture this baby.
My two daughters are grown they could help me with the baby. Once I do tell Ajay about this baby I believe he will not let me go."
 
"Mary? What's stopping you from going to Ajay's house and telling him?"
 
"I'm not sure, I suppose the fear that once I tell him it will be very real. I won't be able to be in denial."
 
"Mary? are you thinking of terminating the pregnancy?
 
"At first I have to admit...yes...now? No I just can't."
 
"Then Mary? You need to go to Ajay's house tonight and tell him. I'm going to have my assistant schedule you next week. After you tell Ajay about the baby we will discuss how to announce it to your daughters."
 
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o135/suris_01/nagual/p18-1.png)
 
"Whew...I feel a lot better Doctor. Somehow just being able to tell someone not directly impacted by this, makes me feel less panicky about the whole thing.
 
I will tell Ajay tonight then and see you next week. Lilith will be getting out also next week, so I do want to be ready for that as well."

Fantastic updates! Keep going, keep going - I am SO addicted! :D

Ooooo! Pleasantview know it is full of drama. I am so hooked on this!!! Can't wait for more.

I wanted to bring in a little strangehood so that's why I brought in Ajay Loner to be Mary-Sue's love interest.  Not to mention Strangehood is kind of short on female characters he needed a woman.

Things are getting complicated! I love that!:)

Aww..thanks guys!  I'm going to be gone for a week so I won't be able to update.  It makes me so happy that you are enjoying this.  Your comments make me want to keep going.

We are gonna miss you!!! Hurry back, okay.

Is there going to be update soon?

dogg I have had company and I sort of thought this story got lost in the  whay back pages.
I'm taking a little hiatus I might bring it back in a bit.  I been doing a challenge over at kieda's  Brenda and Keilen's site for comic relief.  It's cute check it out if you get a chance.
It's set in strangehood a developing story of a black widow challenge.  Link is below

This is for Zorom couldn't pm ur box is full!  I had my game crash and had to reinstall it was a hopeless mess.  I exorcised my downloads and have different defaults now on skins and what not.
I am considering taking one of these story characters and plopping them in a new hood with a new life and ppl not sure who it should be thou maybe you guys can give me some ideas...Lillith?, Cassandra?, MarySue?, Don Lothario?, Dina Caliente? hmm...just not sure who it be....Maybe Dustin that serial rapist...lol!

Oh..whoops. Gotta go empty my inbox.

OK vicky! Maybe you could do something about Dirk Dreamer's father? Or you know what! Do something about the rivalry and Romeo and Juliet in Veronaville! I haven't seen a single story about them!

Zorom somebody did do a story about them....who was it?...I can't remember.  Dirk Dreamer is kind of an interesting character.

Do Brandi, Dustin's mother! She needs it. Dustin is a rapist and her husband was murdered!

update........

I agree!  I LOVE Brandi.  I always have.  She is my favorite Maxis sim.  If anyone deserves to have their story told it's her!

Personally I think Brandi's perfect match is Darren Dreamer, as he's single. Helps him get over Cassandra. And then Dustin and Dirk are brothers! Once I made them marry too.  >:D They adopted Beau. lol

Do Brandi! Do Brandi! DO BRANDI!

hmm...I just downloaded Brandi and all of her kin simpe extracted for the deceased.  If I can get inspired I will do a new thread tho since I had to reinstall since this and lost most of my characters.

I never thought of pairing Brandi with Darren.  Hmmm...think I might just have to try that sometime.

Good luck to you, Vicki, in whatever you decide to do.

Is there going to be an update?

I have had many game meltdowns since posting this story and can't find the defaults I had once upon a time so I don't think I would be able to recreate my characters to what they looked like before. :'(

If you still feel like doing the story, none of us mind if they look different. But only if you can find the will to.

Agree, not important how they look as long as story continues.
