1.6 Fresh start to a rough life.

Even though I lived in the basement, I heard a loud pounding on the front door. It was 330 in the morning, who the hell would be here at 330 in the morning?!

Well, it was a random lady, driving either an icecream truck or a survalence van. She was walking away by the time I got to the door, but she slid a note under the door.

"Dear Lizza,

How dare you go against our wishes. We hear everything. You will never find a father for those children as good as Nigel and you sure as hell won't be able to support them on your own. You went against our wishes. If you don't go and fix things, expect a social worker at your door to send bring your kids to live with me in Brigdgeport. and they'll be raised by me, your father, Nigels father and mother, and Nigel. Get ready for hell to be raised. Watch your back"

-Ma

I picked up Tamara and knew I wouldn't let anyone hurt them. I had never been so scared in my life. Tamara and Savannahs' birthdays are tomorrow and we just moved into our new house. We couldn't just pack everything back up. But that is the only option I could think of. I didn't know any other way to keep them safe and away from my family and their fathers. I didn't want them to be raised like that.

Lexington is a sweetheart. He noticed how shaken I was and asked if there was anything him and Penny could do. All the kids took the divorce hard, but they were all getting by. Penny seemed to put all the blame on herself because she's still too young to understand her fathers nature.

Penny and Lexington spent a lot of time playing with the babies while I tried to figure out what we needed to do.

After the babies birthdays all the girls spent some quality time playing pretend. While I spent time researching towns as far away from here and Bridgeport as possible.

After hours of trying to find somewhere suitabled I found Sugar Valley. An up and coming small city. It's safe, plenty of jobs, great school, 1250 miles away from Alpossa and nearly 2000 miles away from Bridgeport. Perfect. Half our stuff was still in boxes and Lexington and Penny are about to go to High School so they would be leaving their friends either way. 

We caught the midnight grayhound out to Sugar Valley. After about 10 hours of "are we there yets" We finally arived at our way too small house. 

With barely 20,000 simolians this was all we could afford. A small, 1 bedroom, 1 bath house. For 5 people. And only 200 simoliens in the pocket. But I told the kids that nothing was going to be easy, but everything would be better in the long run.

  And then came the birthdays. Both Lexington and Penny turned 14 and would be starting high school the next day. Lexington gained Star Quality, and Penny gained Rebellious.

I actually had to work, for once. I had to get all of us out of the one bedroom. I want the kids to be able to have friends over and parties and all the fun stuff people normally do with their kids.

While I'm at work Penny and Lexington are awsome. They help the kids with their homework, clean the house, have dinner on the table and the kids to bed before I even get home.

Lexington LOVES reading to the kids. I thought it was cute..

And Penny got a job at the bookstore! She says she feels like the reason we had to leave was because of her so she was trying to do everything possible to make things a little easier.

So far, everything is going better than I could have ever expected. The only thing is we're one of the only "non rainbow" families in the town. Which after we got there I was scared the kids would get bullied and harrased.

But everything seems to be going fine!

1.5- Life Can Do Terrible Things

 It was about 6:30 in the morning when the screaming started. Nigel woke up early and Penny always gets up around 5 to play around. She loves playing pretend before she goes to school and I don't see anything wrong with that. Nigel started screaming and arguing with Penny about foot prints left on the chair so I went downstairs to see what was going on. Nothing good of course. 

I told Penny she needed to go get ready and get to the bus before she was late. They had been fighting for a solid hour before I was even able to get a word in. Of course I was going to stand up for my daughter, she had done nothing wrong. She goes to school and has A's in her classes. Then, he tries to turn it around on me, I'm not a strict enough mother, I'm babying them to much (keep in mind they're only 10 years old.) 

Apparently he had finally cracked under the presure. He attacked me and that was the last straw. It was sad enough Tamara and Savannah saw it all and I was not going to deal with it anymore. His true colors have shown through. He hadn't changed. The abuse, the fighting, and the imaturity was why I left his ass in the first place. I can't believe my parents forced this man into my life, to be the father to my children. Unbelievable.

I broke it off. I told him I wasn't raising our children around a man who couldn't control what he said or did. He needed help that he wouldn't seek and I wasn't about to sit around and HOPE he changed again. So I packed me and the kids bags, and left. 

He kept the majority of the money and kept the house. I was left with next to nothing. I called the realtor and ended up with a house not even suitable for four kids plus me. I don't have near enough money for baby sitters and luckly the babies are about to turn 5. I needed a job but no idea who would take care of the kids.  I guess we would be living rough until Penny and Lexington were old enough. 

"Do you think mommy and daddy are getting a divorce?" Lexington asked Penny.

"I think so, me and Daddy were fighting this morning, he said I couldn't play pretend anymore. Then mommy and daddy started fighting. Mommy was crying and daddy wouldn't stop screaming" Penny started to explain to Lexington. They drove right by their old house with a "For Sale" sign in front. They both knew that could mean nothing good.

1.4- The typical Legacy Post

The twins!! Lexington and Penny! Ok to be honest I ALWAYS get so excited when my sims have twins!!

Anyways they are adorable :D

Days went by and near every moment was spent with the babies!

While I worked on getting their skills up to par

All Nigel did was steal candy from poor Penny, she loves her daddy a lot too. Sad to see him being so heartless, guess I should have expected it.

I started to notice Nigel's old habits slowly coming back, and it scared me. I didn't want to admit to myself that maybe he DIDN'T change and was the same asshole he's always been.

I came home and saw him slap our butler. He didn't see me, but I saw everything. And THATS what scared me. If he couldn't handle our butler to no idmetiatly clean up her mess, how the hell is he going to handle two kids running around?!

And of course when I begin to doubt our relationship, I would get pregnent with our third child. All I could think about is how would I raise all three kids if he hasn't changed. I'm not raising my children around someone who can't control their emotions.

A few days later I gave birth to two baby girls, Tamara (yes, from Ackward.) and Savannah!

The day after I gave birth, it was Lexington and Pennys birthdays! No party, just a few cakes at home. Things are crazy as hell.

Cute kids ;D

The fact that he was a parent of two sets of twins, was clearly starting to get to him.

That day, I confronted him on how he needed to help me more with the kids. I was dealing with two crying babies, trying to teach them their skills, and making sure the two older ones got the attention they deserved too. He apolagized, saying he would do more to help. I called bullshit and told him that he had to PROVE to me he cared about them, or I was out.

So what does he do? Goes outside, screams at Lexington that he needs to do something other than just play.

And didn't even aknowladge Penny, I guess no attention from Daddy is better than only negative attention...

Love, childhood, and "the highlife"

   

I was always told from a young age you will never get over your first love, no matter how awful they treated you and I never believed it. I always though I was over Nigel, until I moved here.

 He seemed different, calmer. I was comfortable around him again, for the first time in a long while.

 A few nights after I was okay with him again, he proposed and I said yes.

 Maybe our life's were so intertwinded because we were ment to be together and I just didn't like being forced to love someone. Or maybe the timing was finally right for us.

 Shortly after we had a very classy wedding,

 quick honeymoon, and a very genorus gift from his family so we could get a beautiful house to raise our family in.

 After a full morning of being sick, I discovered that of course, I was pregnant

Anddd I guess it litterally scared the piss out of Nigel

Since we got the very large gift from his parents, he insisted that we live the high life 

We hired a butler so we could focus on living the "high life" that I never wanted. But I guess everything happens for a reason.

After reliving our childhood with the backyard we created for our new baby I went into labor.

After several hours of painful labor, I gave birth to two beautiful babies. 

A little girl named Penny and a beautiful baby boy named Lexington.
