Letting Go

Round 2 - Fall 2024

Last update/ Tessa's next update/ Tabitha's next update
Tabitha Gunner is 34, Tessa Gunner is 28

It was her last day at home. Her last day living with her sister. And she felt like crap. She knew she was taking a big chance investing money into Derick's idea, but she knew that this was something she really wanted to do. Tabitha didn't understand. She accused her of trying to get away, of running into the first open home in an effort to escape her. Tessa loved her sister and would miss her more than she knew. But she had to do this. Had to go out on her own.

Round 1 Summary

So for those of you who have been reading my disjointed updates, here's a recap in the first round of LaQuest Beach:

*Tessa Gunner was offered the opportunity to open up a home business in the form of a club with her lover, Derick Pace. She accepted and the two will be opening the Black Door in Round 2.

*Alana and Christian Brown welcomed a beautiful baby girl, Christa Brown, into the neighborhood in Spring 2024. Alana is dying to open up her own restaurant, but her husband is against the idea and wants them to focus on his political career.

*Kinsley Johnson was introduced to her boyfriend's family. Kevin Knowles' parents adored Kinsley. Kinsley will be attending LaQuest Beach Community college in Fall 2024 and Kevin will be attending Sim State University.

*Ariel White finally got a job and will be potentially moving out of her brother's home in Round 2. Marshal White has a new love interest, Shamella Reeves.

Kinsley Johnson and Kevin Knowles will be going off to University next round (I'm so excited!). This will be the first time I have tried to run a college in the main hood. I'm also excited to begin Derick's club. Round 2 should be a very exciting round!

If Only You Knew

Round 1 - Summer 2024

Next update
Terrance Coners is 32, Kenny is 9 (Tabitha Gunner is 33, Amanda Carlson is 27)

This is his favorite time of day. It's the time when he and his son can actually spend some quality time together. It's hard balancing work and home when you're a single parent. But he manages it. And Kenny understands. He's amazingly perceptive for a 9 year old boy. But he would have to be to endure his own mother leaving him. Allison was bad news from the start and Terrance should have listened to his instincts. He would never make that mistake again. Kenny deserved better.

Birthdays: Spring 2024

Only one birthday this round sadly:

Christian and Alana Brown are 27

Christian had no idea that birth was so shocking. Oh, he knew where babies came from and knew that it would be a tad bit painful for Alana, but seeing it took his breath away. He almost passed out when she went into labor! Alana says, "Hey moron, get it together. I'm the one in pain here!"

And a few hours later, little Ms. Christa Brown was born. She has her father's brown hair and her mother's piercing blue eyes.

Welcome to the neighborhood little one!

Just Right

Round 1  - Spring 2024

Next update
Kip and Kimber Henderson are 31, Caleb is 3

He's amazing. He has no idea how truly amazing he is. He's a miniature version of his father. Kip looks at his son and actually gets teary eyed. He would never let anyone know it, it's not very masculine. The day Caleb was born, Kip knew his purpose in life: to be the best dad he could be. He was slowly working his way up the ladder at the law firm he worked at. He wanted the very best for his little man.

Run This Town

Round 1 - Winter 2023

Next update
Derick Pace is 31 (Tessa Gunner is 27)

Derick Pace had a plan. It was a good plan. It was a plan that would allow him to become something more than a two-bit criminal. He would have a completely legit job, doing something fun, and make lots of money. It was a no fail plan. Only one thing could possibly stand in his way: Tessa Gunner. She was a key part to his plan and he really need her to cooperate. He liked Tess, she was a sweet girl. Beautiful and fun to be with. He knew she wasn't really the settling down type and he wasn't thinking marriage and kids himself. But they had fun together and he liked having her around......hopefully she felt the same.....

The Point of It All

Round 1 - Fall 2023

Next update
Tanner and Keisha Knowles are 35, Kevin is 17, Kayla is 9

Tanner and Keisha Knowles are lucky. They know it, and the rest of LaQuest Beach knows it. Tanner was a trust fund baby who made wise investments with his money and became very financially stable. He and Keisha met while they were both vacationing with their families and they have been in love every since. Tanner doesn't need to really work, but he's always wanted to be a police officer and so he has joined the academy. Keisha was dedicated to making their home the best it could be for their children and so she never got to follow her dreams. But she is now studying fashion design and hopes to start a small line one day. They live in one of the nicer beach homes.
