Maia didn’t need a pregnancy test yesterday because she already knew what was up. She just needed one more day to live in denial. But when Maia wakes up to pee the next morning and sees how much her belly has grown in the mirror, there’s no more room for her nonacceptance. She’s pregnant whether…
We arrive in Brindleton Bay, and it’s freezing, just as I guessed. I’m unsure if Maia is feeling any better, but she looks happy to be home. I miss Tartosa already, but being home early gives me a chance to upload the footage I took with my drone. A nice payday brightens almost any situation….
It’s the first day of spring here in Tartosa, and it’s finally warm enough to swim. But unlike yesterday, during Sophia and Luca’s wedding – the entire day is scheduled to be overcast. I won’t complain, though, because it’s much better than the cold we can expect when we return to Brindleton Bay. I get…
While Dub and Maia attend Luca’s wedding, Mase is on a different mission. He finally meets Zoe’s sibling/legal guardian, Londyn, and Londyn’s wife, Macy, tonight. After spending the entire day getting ready, which includes drastically changing his appearance, Mase arrives nervously at the Old Quarter restaurant in Windenburg, where Zoe and her family greet him….
At the crack of dawn on a blizzardy New Year’s Eve, Dwight Echols arrives at his shop in Copperdale, just as he’s done numerous times over the last few months since purchasing it. Dwight started his shop, D’s Flowers & Jewelry, with only 589 simoleons left in his pocket after buying the building and covering the shop’s build-out. Since then, Dwight…
It’s a beautiful yet cool morning in Tartosa. I grab Hiro and take him for a jog to get a preview of what the town has to offer. I remember vacationing here as a child, but it was in the spring or summertime when it was hot. We spent a lot of time at the…
The place we rent in Tartosa happens to be owned by my Aunt Lia and Uncle Stef. They give me a reasonable price for the next three days. It’s also dog and cat-friendly, so we bring Hiro and Luna. When we arrive, I’m happy to see that although it’s cool outside, there’s no snow. Maia…
We wake up early the following day. Maia heads to the communal bathroom for a shower. I sit in the upstairs sitting area to wait for her. I can’t help but question the cleanliness of the communal shower, knowing how Maia and I used it last night, but she doesn’t seem to care. I remember…
I was working on the updated family tree and realized that I forgot to create a post honoring the lives of Merit Banks (Day 61 – last seen, Day 7.4 ) and Veronica ‘Roni” Blu-Banks (Day 59 – death date unknown). Merit was the youngest child of Alida Banks (Prosperity’s younger brother). Veronica was the…
Just as I used to be at their age, my little cousins are very excited to open their gifts. As Ma calls them out, I finally learn their names. Kyra and Jackie open theirs first and are very happy with their new toys. Kyra: If we share our gifts, we’ll have triple the gifts. Jackie:…
