Round 7 Summary

Births: Jordyn Pace, Liam Coners, Adam Ellison

Weddings: Kenny Coners & Kayla Knowles; Derick Pace & Charity Jones

Expectant Mothers: Celeste Oros, Jessica Picaso, Meadow Thayer

Round 7 was filled with lots of drama, laughs, and love! Mellow Metal had their first tour, Kenny got married and had his first son! Derick Pace is attempting to turn over a new leaf for the sake of his daughter and wife. Celeste is finally going to be a mother and Slade was hit with the bomb that he is going to become a father. Round 8 is sure to be just as drama filled, if not more so! Here are the ROS for round 8:

* Oh no! Scotty beamed you up! Get abducted by aliens (I SO hate who rolled this :/. It's going to be hard as hell to work this in naturally lol. I think you'll be pretty surprised! I know I was!)

* Ugh, this 9 to 5 blows! Quit your job and start a new venture.

* Expand your family by adoption (Again, very fitting for this couple. I was actually going to let them adopt Meadow's baby, but it isn't very realistic)

I've been dying to roll the abduction one and isn't it just poetic that it's on the last person I would have ever picked! It'll be very interesting to work this out, in the end I'm sure it'll be good......I hope :). I'll be creating a page for all my non-playables like Mindi and the Phillippines who have twins that go to LBE. The census page has been updated to reflect the current stats.......quite a few sims in the hood now! Please be sure to check on my babble blog here for biographies on the founding sims and newly added playables.

I've also decided to make Meadow playable. I don't see her and Slade getting together, and I actually like playing with her. Plus, she'll be having the child of a playable character so I think it's only fair. I'm on the fence about whether Ricky will or not.......

Derick Pace is 47, Charity is 32, Jordyn is 1

And I'd give up forever to touch you

Cause I know you feel me somehow

You're the closest to heaven, that I'll ever be

And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

Cause sooner or later it's over

I just don't want to miss you tonight

Goo Goo Dolls

She should ask him. His club was doing well, but not well enough for him to be able to afford this beautiful town home. She should demand that he tell her what it is he does when he leaves the house for hours on end. And she should demand that he stop it, before he found himself locked up. She should, but she wasn't going to. She loved their life together and knew that he would never endanger Jordyn or her. And it really was a beautiful home.......

Joe Carr is 44, Ariel is 38, Kayden is 10, Javion is 8, Layla and Lauren are 1 

If you're lost you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting

Time after time

As performed by Javier Colon on the Voice 

Sometimes he still couldn't believe that they had been married for almost a decade. Ariel was still the most complicated woman he had ever met. While she definitely was the biggest diva he had ever known, she was also a really great mother and a beautiful wife. He didn't know how fate decided to put them together, but he was definitely glad it had........

Last Update/ Meadow's next update/ Slade's next update
Meadow Thayer is 19, Slade Willis is 25 (Brian Johnson is 25)

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing

Just praying to a god that I don't believe in

Cause I've got time while she's got freedom

Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break even

The Script

"Meadow, I thought I made myself pretty clear about this. Me and you are done. You want more than I can or am even willing to give. I don't get what's so hard to understand about that," Slade said.

"I'm not here to beg you to see me again. Are you really that shallow and conceited?" she asked.

"Then why the hell did you call me saying you just had to see me?"

I can do for you what Martin did for the people

Ran by the men but the women keep the tempo

It's very seldom that you're blessed to find your equal

Still play my part and let you take the lead role, believe me

Let me upgrade you

Beyonce

Marshal had left the choice of which house to buy in Talum Heights up to his wife and sister. He had given them the price range and set them loose, a very dangerous thing to do when Ariel was involved........ And though he hated to admit it, they did a pretty wonderful job........

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 7 - April 2040



Jessica Picaso loved being pregnant. She knew other women complained about the discomfort, but she absolutely love it. She really hoped they had a girl this time in case Matt didn't want to have any more kids. She still didn't know what to make of all his attentiveness as of late. It was a bit strange to say she felt weird that her husband was doting on her, but that was how she felt.........weird.........

Ginger Newson is 19 (Caleb Henderson and Meadow Thayer are 19)

Well, she lives in a fairy tale

Somewhere too far for us to find

Forgotten the taste and smell

Of the world that she's left behind

Keep your feet on the ground

When your head's in the clouds

Well, go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

"I don't understand......I've been here almost 2 years now and you've never came over......why would you want to talk to me?............No, I mean I guess it's okay.......yea, sure come on over," Ginger said. Meadow Thayer wanted to come and hang out with her.......Either hell had frozen over, or there was something terribly wrong.......

Caleb Henderson was pissed. His springbreak plans had been ruined by Meadow and Ricky. He and Ginger were suppose to go away with Ricky and Kimberly for springbreak. After Meadow dropped the bomb about sleeping with Ricky, Kimberly broke things off with him. Sure, he and Ginger could have gone by themselves, but he wasn't ready for a trip like that with just the two of them.........damn Meadow and her meddling!

Kip couldn't wait for Kayla to come back from maternity leave. They had gotten an influx of transfer students and he could really use her help. He wasn't sure he could handle the entire group of hormonal teens who were counting down the days until springbreak...........

Dashboard Confessional


He was growing up too fast. It only seemed like yesterday that she was carrying him in her womb. Now two years had already gone by and she just didn't know where the time had gone. She remembered saying that she would be glad when her pregnancy was over, but now she wanted it again. But she knew that baring children was no longer a part of her life........

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 7 - February 2040



Lorelai was SO ready to give birth to this kid! She had forgotten how uncomfortable the last months were, it sucked! Jacob was oblivious to her discomfort, he was too excited about being able to enjoy this pregnancy without worrying about whether the elder elves would come in and snatch up his son.........

He felt different. He didn't know why, didn't know what brought about this change, but he felt it. He was.......lucky. He had a beautiful wife, a great son, and a job he loved. Maybe it was the fact that he actually took the time out to realize and appreciate what he had. His life had been so much about progression, about reaching the goals he had set out for himself......now he could just.......enjoy his life. It was a very freeing feeling...........

Cuz life is like a slideshow, all the places I go

And all the things that I know, through all the highs and lows

Cuz life is like a slideshow, and all the things that I've seen

And all the things that I dream, you can't take away from me

Cuz life is like a slideshow

T.I. ft. John Legend

Tanner hated that he had to go in on Christmas' Eve, but he really didn't have a choice. He had recently been promoted to lieutenant and was still getting use to his new job responsibilities. There was one good thing about working this Christmas' Eve, he would miss Kayla's baby shower! So far, Keisha had kept herself in check during the planning process with Tabitha Coners. But he really didn't know how long the peace would last..........

Ethan White was so excited to start school! It was fun being around kids other than his cousins Javion and Kayden. They were so much older and didn't like to do the the same things he and his twin brother Evan wanted to do.

Satitu was finally getting accustomed to his life on Earth. And it had only taken him 3 years! He loved his life with Celeste and was anxious to have some kids of their own. She had been busy trying to help the Grays with Connor and appeasing Mayor Brown. But he had a plan to take her mind off of all of that.........

Hey little boy you're not allowed to stay

You have to evolve inevitably

And I've sure come a long way

The road up ahead was so unclear

Back slided down a bottle of beer

Nobody knew if I would make it here

I'm gettin grown, I'm getting grown

Cee-lo



Terrence loved his life. He was the official architect for LaQuest Beach, he had three great kids and a wonderful wife, and had his first grandchild on the way. It got no better than that.......

Feelings

Caleb Henderson, Ricky Cormier, Meadow Thayer, and Ginger Newson are 19 (Slade Willis is 25, Kimberly Jackson is 19)

I'm a stubborn girl, you're a stubborn guy

Could be why we fight all the time

If it's not your way, then it must be mine

Can't communicate, can't even compromise

----------------------------------------------

I just can't decide, if it's you I want

Don't wanna choose between having you in my life

Or losing you for real because I caught feelings

Floetry

They were dating. If someone had told him that he would fall for his best friend, he would have called them a liar. The day that Ginger told him that she was in love with him was one of the most confusing days of his life. As she sat there, waiting on him to respond to her declaration, he really looked at her. She was beautiful, and he had no idea how he had never noticed it before. And who was the first person he called whenever something happened, be it good or bad? It wasn't his parents, though he supposed it should be. It was her. So it really made no sense that they weren't together. So they both stopped seeing other people and concentrated on each other. And it had been the best five months of his life.

Feeling Sorry

Jacob Ellison 39, Lorelai is 33, Kiara is 1

I feel no sympathy, you live inside a cave

You barely get by, the rest of us are trying

There's no need to apologize,

I've got no time for feeling sorry

Paramore

Jacob loved being a father. While he was happy for Metal Mellow, he wasn't sad that he chose to not go on tour with them. He would much rather be home with Kiara and Lorelai........

Flyleaf

The kids were really missing Ginger and had been asking for a pet for the longest so Gavin decided to surprise them with a dog. He just hoped that they would take care of it the way they needed to!

Kenny and Kayla Coners are 24 (Allison Tavem is 47)

There is no other place that I'd rather be

There is no other face that I'd rather see

The way that you do me is somthin' like a movie

Waking up to you is just like waking up to Superman

Monica

Allison Tavem was pissed. She had to read in the society pages about her own son's wedding! She had been trying to reach out to Kenny for months, only to be ignored. Regardless of how he felt about it, she was still his mother!
