@WitcHazard i know!! I feel so bad for Wolfgang! It's certainly a possibility that Victoria has something more than stress going on, we'll see what happens. I can say she genuinely is very stressed though and that can also make people nauseous etc!
I knew it! Come on Vic you start with the preggers talk first! Then let him do the whole I don't want to ruin your life spill cause it's kinda to late for that now.
@WitcHazard Haha! Yep, it's a pretty obvious trope in SimLit when someone mentions nausea after any woohoo has happened! I wasn't denying it, but just asking for a bit more disbelief for a short time. Victoria really did have a lot on her plate this month.
As for the conversation, she was going to get to the pregnancy part...but then the timing didn't seem exactly right with him suddenly telling her not to come...
I felt like she was trying to be a trooper despite how she was feeling. There's nothing wrong with a person who spent a decent part of her life taking care of others actually wanting to be taken care of. On top of that now she really has to shred of any immature notions cause she's going to be a single mother basically of three. I just hope things get better for Victoria she needs some positivity in her life. Hugs all around on me
@WitcHazard Awwww I know!! As she said, now there is just one more person that she will have to be there for and do for. I think she's feeling overwhelmed and alone at this point. Thanks so much as always for reading!
So Victoria sor of passed the torch a bit now it's Sophie's turn. I hate they have to have restrictions again there were just getting the hang of living a regular life. Josef looks so handsome! It must be hard not telling your best friend he's a uncle but who knows things will work out for them somehow!
Absolutely!!! Victoria really is trying to cut the Munchs out of their lives because she felt that Wolfgang gave up on her and because his Mom agreed I think Victoria felt a bit like 'middle finger to all'! Not the most mature attitude for sure.
It's fun having a different (slightly less gloomy) voice telling the story too!
Yeah, Wolfgang looked a bit haggard huh? I knew he wouldn't wear the eye makeup that he has by default in prison. I'm hoping he'll maybe cut his hair too!!
You are correct that about 6 years have passed and he would be eligible for parole in 4 ish years. We'll see on Saturday what Happens regarding the rest of his incarceration. I know Victoria is very happy to have him in her life again. I know he missed her too.
I like to think that wordless conversation included an exchange that he thought of her everyday and wondered how she was and she responded that her hurt and anger along with his directive to stay away is what kept her away. She also may have said that not a day passed where seeing their son didn't make her think of him and hope he was well.
It would appear so! I also decided that I'm half in love with Gregor. <grin> I may actually need to move him to my legacy later. He was just a 'random from the gallery' sim I had found. I was lucky enough to find him again after my hard drive failure.
I really enjoyed catching up with the Harkins today! What a great story! You know, if I hadn't read about your computer issues on the Writers' Lounge thread, I wouldn't have noticed anything skips in the story--so whatever you did to get back on board with that really worked!
@CathyTea honestly I was ahead in my story telling and it's only with the the Chapter 17 - Introductions chapter that I was using the new sims. I only had to recreate Victoria and Sophie (I made V first then generated S Through genetics.) I also was able to use Wolfgang and V to create Rickard through genetics. It wasn't that terrible. I spent the most time re-creating V. She was a beast and I kept going out of game and coming back and still being like, "that's not her!!!" I think the time jump really helped because everyone changed over that last 5 years so differences can be explained away.
Thank you for reading and all your thoughtful comments!
Just started reading this and I love it! I haven't read any orphan challenges before so that was interesting. I'm only a few chapters in, but already in love with Victoria and her two rugrats.
