    Training

    Derek made the decision after the shark attack to work on his athletics and get serious about becoming stronger. He gets rid of the track suit as he discovered it was too restrictive to serious training. He buys some baggy shorts and a tshirt which he discovers allows him much more flexibility. Jared sets him up on a strength training program and he sets out with determination. To further finesse his training Jared has Derek use the driving range that is set up in the yard.

    The weather has been perfect lately and the foursome enjoy eating outside at the picnic table in the evening twilight. Derek and Jared give the twins a ride on the spring riders before taking them upstairs and settling them in bed for the night.

    They get the twins settled and go on up to the attic where Jared has his martial arts equipment. Jared starts him off on the training dummy so he can work on his reflexes and timing. They keep the session short as Derek has already had a full day of strength training and Jared does not want his muscles fatigued.

    Alexandra and Kendall enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub, apparently without their swimsuits!

    New life

    It is another beautiful day in Bridgeport and the twins are still sleeping. Jared and Alexandra take advantage and enjoy some early morning loving before getting the kids ready for the day. The twins get their baby food and Jared serves Alexandra the last of the french toast. He fixes a bowl of cereal for himself.

    42398110365_13736ebc78_b.jpg

    They spend a quiet day at home playing with the twins and enjoying the beautiful weather. Jared reads a couple of scripts he was sent to review as possible movie scripts. He doesn't consider either worthy scripts so he will let his agent know to reject them.
    42398108625_bfa8a29260_b.jpg

    42398102605_50044656f0_b.jpg

    Jared decides it is his turn to fix a meal and he grills some fish. He does a pretty good job and does not burn the food or the grill. He invites Derek and Kendall to eat with them and try out his cooking.
    42398104675_da2ac8058b_b.jpg
    42398103225_f14fc796ed_b.jpg

    After dinner, Alexandra excuses herself, suddenly feeling a little off. She goes upstairs to lie down and then turns and heads into the bathroom. The nausea eases off so she brushes her teeth, getting ready to go lie down. The sensation gets worse! After the worst is over she cleans up again and suddenly realizes......"I'm pregnant!"

    Jared heads upstairs to check on Alexandra concerned that she did not come back downstairs. He asks Derek and Kendall to bring the twins upstairs to their crib. He finds her lying on the bed and barely has time to get out of the way when she rushes to the bathroom. She lies back down on the bed after it is over and Jared sits with her. "What is wrong?"
    "I think I might be pregnant again. I did the same thing when I first came upstairs. This is how it started when I was pregnant with the twins."
    "I guess we were not as careful as I thought. How do you feel about another baby now with the twins so young?"
    She smiles at him. "I'm good with it. I like that they will all be close in age. I just hope this nausea part goes by fast. You ok with it?"
    He smiles back at her. "Absolutely! I love being a Dad and am excited about a new baby. We need to think of names, as well as where are we going to put another crib?

    Derek and Kendall are both softies when it comes to the twins. They've played all day and are obviously tired but when they both start chanting 'ride, ride, ride' they let the twins ride the spring riders before going to bed.

    The next morning while fixing Jared some french toast, Alexandra got her official notice that she was pregnant.

    Fun in the Sun

    The day dawns bright, sunny and hot, and the family decides a trip to the beach is the perfect way to cool off and unwind. Derek and Kendall soak up some sunshine as they relax on beach towels. Alexandra and Jared let the twins play in one of the small pools and enjoy watching them splash around in the warm waters.
    42398094345_2015e4e3bb_b.jpg

    Kendall and Derek get hot lying in the sun and decide it is time to get wet and try out the wave machines.
    41493129830_aa39e0a210_b.jpg
    42398093935_0060de6d2b_b.jpg

    Jared takes Jamie down to the waters edge and lets him enjoy the action of the tiny waves as they rush to shore. Jade enjoys a rockin' ride in a pirate boat.

    A mischievous seal has found the wave riders. Kendall avoids being attacked as it is time for her to go to work. Those in the culinary arts world do not have the best working hours with the weekend work required by the diner. Kendall believes in doing her best and being punctual so she leaves in plenty of time to get to work.

    43302659781_099ee960af_b.jpg

    Derek enjoys his time on the wave machine and only falls the one time. The seal must have left after Kendall got off her machine as Derek did not get attacked.

    Alexandra and Jade enjoy splashing around in the warm shallow waters.

    43252857612_c731061272_b.jpg

    Alexandra's back is aching and Jared gives her a massage to help. She relaxes on one of the loungers while Jared gives the wave machine a try.

    43252855772_4b246e36b4_b.jpg

    Kendall finishes her shift at the diner and returns to the beach, bringing some boxed suppers for them to enjoy as the sun sets and the lovely day comes to an end.

    I missed so much!!! I loved the wedding, Kendall's dress was so beautiful and Alexandra's was also great...you find the most beautiful outfits for your Sims. I loved the pictures from the honeymoon but I must admit that I was worried with Derek and the shark. I also thought you were going to move Derek and Kendall to Isla Paradiso.

    I think it's really wonderful that Jared and Alexandra are going to build a house and move out of the city, are Derek and Kendall moving with them?

    Thanks for sharing, really loved reading. :):)

    Yaaaay!!!! More babies!!!! I'm so excited. My friend is looking at me as if I'm crazy because I screamed out "Alexandra's pregnant!", then had to admit Alexandra is a Sim. But I don't care, I love the Sims!!!! :D:D:D

    @franka44021 Thanks so much for reading and commenting! I'm glad you were able to catch up. The shark was a bit scary that is for sure! I was so thrilled he beat it. Derek and Kendall are getting their own house as well. I've been building it over last few days and sharing the pics on the 'what happened in your sims 3 game' thread. I'll give you a peek at the latest pic :) Not much more room in the current house for more babies and I do want Derek and Kendall to have a few too. I'm not sure when I will move them. Will be a bit still. :) Derek and Kendall want a modern house and that is what I'm trying to build. This is a first for me. I'm a traditionalist in most of my builds. I love that you were excited about Alexandra being pregnant and told your friend. I hope they are a gamer and understand. :) Luckily hubby understands me as I get really excited at times when I play.

    That house is gorgeous!!! I love it!!! I'm glad that Derek and Kendall will have their own family and my friend understood - she doesn't play the Sims, but she's a gamer and we've been friends for a long time, so she's been there from Sims 1. :D:D:D:D

    Photo fun

    Derek and Kendall watch the stars from the porch when they return home after the beach trip. Derek is thinking there is too much light outside, or perhaps he is thinking about someone called "Light" from another town. ( He better not be thinking about @Charlottesmom's Light no matter how cute he is and keep thinking about Kendall! )
    28604554357_0395af2c82_b.jpg

    Jared and Alexandra get the two sleepy toddlers settled in the crib. They embrace holding each other up. They are both tired from the day and crawl into bed and fall asleep rapidly as exhausted as their babies were.
    41683534480_0a967c6c23_b.jpg

    The next morning, Alexandra feels the need for some exercise and takes Jamie for a long stroll down to the plaza. Jared reads to Jade before he has to go to the studio. Alexandra reads to Jamie when they return from the stroll. Jade plays with her teddy bear and tries to bite off his ear and then gives him a big hug as if saying sorry.

    Daddy's home and Jade runs for some hugs and tells him all about her day. Alexandra pics up Jamie and tickles him before putting him in his high chair for dinner. Jared gives Alexandra a massage for her aching back before they sit down to eat. Alexandra is really starting to show and the baby seems to be settled right on her back.

    They enjoy a nice meal and the kids were patient while they finished eating and cleaning up afterwards. The twins were settled in bed and Alexandra smiles at Jared. "I'm not tired tonight, are you?"
    "Nope, not a bit tired tonight." He smiles back at her, grabs her hand and rushes her to bed.

    Derek met Kendall at Waylon's Haunt after he got off work. They had a few drinks, danced a few dances and took a few pictures in the photo booth. (Derek looks a bit shell shocked coming out of the booth. I didn't think anything would shock Kendall, but apparently the pictures did.)

    Back in Moonlight Falls

    When Dimitri and his family returned home from the wedding trip to France with Alexandra and Jared, he found several huge crates awaiting him. The boys eagerly assisted with dismantling the crates. A new state of the art irrigation and composting system was revealed. A note inside the crate explained who sent it.

    Dad,
    I saw how much you enjoyed the tour of the nectary and how excited you were about making nectar. You bought the books and even had a nectar making machine shipped home. I know how busy you are just keeping up with the garden you have. I'm hoping this new system will help with the new plants needed for the nectar making. Love you! <3 Alexandra and Jared

    He immediately called them thanking them for the gift. After hanging up he and the boys set up the gardening station in the back corner of the yard. He set to work transplanting the plants he brought back with him from France as well as some of the grape vines he had been cultivating for Kiara to make jam with.
    29665684518_488d283c3c_b.jpg

    When he finished Dimitri washed up and ate a grilled cheese sandwich (his favorite) that Kiara had made. Anton must study logic for his career in the police department so he spends some time reading up on the subject.
    29665684178_8a391da6f7_b.jpg
    29665682918_cdac083213_b.jpg

    Kiara is busy cooking supper while everyone is still eating lunch. She plans to turn over kitchen duties to her daughter in law Allyson and work with Dimitri in the garden and sell her jams and preserves at the local market. She made a tidy profit selling the last batch before they went to France.
    29665683598_39682dae3a_b.jpg
    29665683418_45e1696ed5_b.jpg

    Allyson puts Erik on the pot and starts the potty training process. Her husband Nikita was doing some repair work on the toilet and gallantly offered to take out the potty bag. Allyson will reward him later. Nikita takes Erik outside and they practice walking. Erik is a smart little boy and quickly masters walking. Nikita places him on the little tractor for him to play while he reads a book for work.

    29665683788_b0d5533850_b.jpg
    29665681658_9235747bf2_b.jpg

    In just a few days the plants are thriving and ready to harvest. He can start his first batch of nectar soon. Dimitri is organized and before he gets started on his nectar, he puts some of the best fruits aside for planting to improve the quality of the product. He sets aside the better fruits and vegetables for Kiara's preserves. He uses the poor quality or bruised ones to compost and make fertilizer. What is leftover he takes to the local market and sells. He makes a tidy profit and receives several promotions in his gardener career. He buys a few seeds so he can start raising more fruit to experiment with flavors and qualities in the nectar and Kiara can have more variety in her jams and preserves.

    29665681068_16e8f5da75_b.jpg

    Zane arrived home from school and was met at the door by his Mom who had got a call from his teacher about his grades. He had never seen her so mad before. (I did not get a picture of the yelling as it was over by the time I realized it was going on. His average was a D and I think it got messed up with all the traveling they did, because he had never actually gone to school since I created them. He had done his homework, so not sure why things were so bad. My sim kids grades usually go up quickly as I do make sure they go to class and do homework so this was a fascinating scenario to see.)
    Zane cannot believe his Mom put him in time out as if he was 5 years old! He was humiliated and stood in the corner muttering and miserable. Even though she had left to make a delivery he didn't dare move. He just knew she would find out and the punishment might be worse. (I totally laughed as he kept muttering just like a real kid in trouble would do)
    29665680618_57a8ae92b1_b.jpg

    Allyson had heard the commotion and after his timeout was up she offered to help him with his homework. (she is in the homemaker career and will get points for helping him, probably get points off for him being in trouble too.) Zane was grateful for her help and she helped him understand the lesson and what he was doing wrong. He tells her if there is another pop quiz tomorrow he will ace it!
    29665680398_70b2efb0e5_b.jpg

    Dimitri is smushing grapes making his first batch. Hmmm, what happens in the basement will stay in the basement.
    29665680058_6d3641a528_b.jpg
    29665680198_b68e032763_b.jpg

    Zane finishes his homework, takes the trash out for Allyson and does a few chores. When Kiara returns from taking her preserves to the market he timidly approaches her. He is a good kid and usually very disciplined, but, those teenage hormones are kicking in and he is not behaving as he normally would. He begs her for forgiveness and tells her he will get some extra credit work from the teachers to bring his grades up. Kiara knows that he is a good boy and that he is trying to find a way through these teen years. She agrees to the plan for extra credit and lets him off the hook. They hug and both feel better resolving the problem.

    In Moonlight Falls

    Dimitri is usually the first up in the mornings. He likes to get started on the garden before the heat of the day sets in. If he hears Erik stirring he will sneak in (the crib is in Erik's parents room) and take Erik out of the crib and they will enjoy an early morning breakfast together. After breakfast Dimitri lets Erik play in his ball pit where he can keep an eye on him as he works in the garden.
    42660107785_95043d0c54_b.jpg
    42660107195_19f927183a_b.jpg

    Allyson fixes breakfast, burns it, and tries again.

    42660106655_a594f6da13_b.jpg

    Dimitri loves being outdoors in the garden and the new challenge of raising fruit for nectar has given him a new lift in his career. He loves having Kiara working with him. He loves watching her tend the garden and he will stop working and go over for a quick kiss and cuddle.

    42660105885_50b614f759_b.jpg

    Time passes and Dimitri and Kiara make a quick trip to see Jamie and Jade before they get too grown. They enjoy the visit and love playing and getting to know the toddlers. They return home and once again become busy with the garden and family. One afternoon they get a call from Alexandra and Jared and find out they are expecting again. Dimitri and Kiara immediately start planning a visit.
    42660105595_30edf2afb6_b.jpg

    Allyson realizes she only has a few more days with Erik as a toddler and she cherishes each moment with him.

    Nope, they are not watching the side of the house. Anton is helping his brother with his homework. Everyone has pitched in to see that Zane improves his grades. Good thing no one wanted to fix dinner since Kiara and Zane are blocking the way.

    29694464658_45d1609695_b.jpg

    Nikita and Allyson cuddle on the back porch while they watch Erik play in the yard.
    "I'm ready for another baby." Allyson tells Nikita.
    "I'm ready to help you with that" Nikita tells her with a wink and a leer.
    Allyson giggles. "I'm serious!"
    "So am I, I think it is time for Erik to have a brother."
    "or sister" Allyson pokes his arm. "I love you Nikita."
    "I love you more!" Nikita laughs. "Lets go put Erik to bed and try to make a baby."

    A birthday in Moonlight Falls

    Kiara has been working on harvesting and weeding the bedding plants, but, it is almost time for a party. She stops work so she can play with Erik before his birthday party starts. Allyson bakes and decorates his cake and luckily does not burn it. The party will start once the rest of the household arrives home from work and school. Zane wants to do his homework before the party and Dimitri helps him with it. Anton is home and is sporting a new haircut. His boss told him the long hair was not acceptable on the police force. If he wanted to continue in the police department he would get it cut. Anton wants to continue as a police officer and transfer to the international division some day so he gets it cut. Nikita finally arrives home and gets one last snuggle with his boy before he becomes a child.

    (They both have such great smiles in this first picture I had to include it.) Allyson puts Erik down and the magic happens. Toddler no more, a handsome young boy. Everyone enjoys a piece of cake for dinner. (I have no idea why Kiara chose to stand and eat as the second table was completely free until the boys sat down. Silly sims)

    While they ate cake Alexandra's old bedroom was quickly renovated into a little boys room. Erik loves what his Dad loves, planes, flying and space. I'm pretty sure he will be an astronaut like his Dad. He got genius as his age up trait. Dad gives him his birthday present which is a tablet to help with his studies and homework.

    Dimitri and Kiara talk with Anton and Zane about the garden and their responsibilities while they are in Bridgeport. Both boys have helped in the gardens since they were Erik's age and promise to take good care of the plants while they are gone.

    Allyson goes upstairs to remind Erik it is time to go to bed. They chat on his new monster chairs for a few. I do believe he wants a ball so he can play catch.

    Dimitri finishes up a batch of nectar that is ready for bottling. He selects a few bottles of the recent batches for Jared and Alexandra. Dimitri joins Kiara on the porch as they await the taxi that will take them to the airport for the trip to Bridgeport. Kiara tells Dimitri "I do believe there will be another baby born when we get home. I heard Allyson singing lullabies while she did up the dishes this evening. She hasn't done that since she was pregnant with Erik."
    Dimitri smiles happily. "We are truly blessed."

    Visit from the Grans

    Dimitri and Kiara arrive in Bridgeport excited about seeing their grandkids. Dimitri knocks on the door. "I'm looking forward to seeing how the twins have grown." he tells Kiara.
    Derek opens the door inviting them in. After hugs and greetings he leads them out to the back where the twins are playing.
    (Yes, they got hearts! Good thing neither one are flirty or irresistible.)

    They each pick up a twin and exclaim over how much they have changed since they last visited. Kiara plays a favorite game attack of the claw with Jamie. Dimitri follows Jade over to the sand piles and she shows him all the things she has buried in her pile.

    Jared fixes a few regular drinks that even Alexandra can enjoy. Derek gets in from a long day of work and meetings and grabs one. He and Jared talk about their respective days. Dimitri joins them after setting Jade in her high chair and giving her dinner. He shares a drink and chats about his new venture in nectar production.

    Kendall greets Kiara as she comes in from work and they chat about cooking. She finds Derek and gives Derek a kiss and hugs Dimitri.

    Jade has made a big mess with her dinner and Jared cleans her up and then cleans up her chair so it will not spoil the adults dinner. Alexandra has prepared Porcini Risotto and turns out it is Kendall's favorite dish. Kiara starts telling stories of Alexandra and her brothers as they eat dinner. Derek chimes in with tales of some of Jared's exploits from his childhood. They all have a great time getting to know each other better as a family.

    Jade plays with a shark and Jamie is reading his counting book as the adults eat their dinner. (I think the shark is getting ready to attack Jamie from the look on Jade's face)

    After dinner, Kendall and Derek go up to their rooms to settle in for the evening. Kendall has a book to read for work and Derek has meetings to prepare for. Kiara shoos Alexandra away from the dishes and sends her to rest. "I'm here to help, not be waited on."
    Jared picks up Jade who is tired and starting to cry and takes her upstairs and puts her to bed.
    He gives Alexandra a nice massage before they tumble into bed to snuggle and sleep. They dream about babies.

    Dimitri sits on the floor and Jamie hands him the book. Dimitri reads to Jamie smiling at the comments Jamie makes as he helps to turn the page of the book. He notices Jamie's eyes are fluttering and knows he will be sleeping soon.

    Kiara cleans up the kitchen and fixes some cinnamon rolls to have ready for breakfast in the morning. She recalls that those were Alexandra's favorites at one time.
    41907564790_359c427979_c.jpg

    Dimitri finishes the book and takes a very sleepy Jamie up to bed. He tucks him in his crib and Jade sits up briefly and he tells her to go back to sleep. He waits a few and both of them fall quickly to sleep. He turns out the lights except for the night light and finds Kiara waiting for him in the guest room.

    A Beautiful Day
    part 1

    It is a beautiful morning in Bridgeport. Grandma Kiara fixes French toast which she knows her daughter loves. Even though Alexandra is all grown up with babies of her own Kiara will always want to spoil her little girl. Dimitri is used to being up early before the heat of the day to garden, but he slept in this morning. He makes the bed (don't you just love a man who is neat and a hunk!) and gets himself ready for the day. He can hear one of the toddlers giggling in the other room and he hurries over to see which one is awake.

    Jared climbs the steps to the attic feeling the need to break space rocks this morning.

    Alexandra was awakened with back cramps. She checked on the toddlers and Jamie was just waking. Alexandra got him ready for the day and they go downstairs for breakfast. She puts him in his chair and gets his breakfast ready. Dimitri has taken care of Jade. The rest of the family arrive at the table enticed by the smell of french toast drifting through the house.

    Derek cleans up the table while Jared gives Alexandra a massage for her aching back. Kiara and Dimitri take the kids out to the yard for some playtime. Kendall studies a cookbook she needs to finish before going to work today.

    Derek, Jared and Kendall head off to work. Dimitri borrows Derek's fancy car and runs some errands around town and collect a few seeds while out. The gardener instinct is to always hunt for seeds and that helps keep Dimitri in such good shape. Kiara takes Jamie for a stroll to enjoy the beautiful sunshine and Alexandra takes Jade for a stroll hoping the exercise will help her back to stop aching.
