Chapter 6.1

Most sims don't really look forward to breaking up with their current partner, but it gives Calista a sick thrill. She is definitely not like your average sim. The more pain and hurt she causes the happier she is. Why couldn't she have just wanted to be the Empress of Evil?
Logan is her third victim or will be when she's done with him. Poor sucker won't even know what happened.
Thankfully, Ethan is no where near as evil and twisted as his younger sister. He does enjoy a good rush of adrenaline though. The longer and harder he has to pull for a big fish the more excited he gets. Of course, all the fish end up as fertilizer in his garden in hopes of helping him achieve his LTW of the perfect garden.
Calista had sweet little Keegan out of wedlock with the first man she ever slept with. Any doubt Keegan's father had about being the baby's father was diminished when he saw how pale white he was. Keegan's a spitting image of his father, Lawrence. Sadly, Lawrence dislikes children and wants nothing at all to do with him.
Jaedon was still living at home along with Ethan so at least for awhile Keegan would have a couple fatherly influences around. Jaedon was really moving along with his LTW to max out the painting and the guitar skills. It won't be long before he's moving out.
Before Calista could even break up with Logan she started looking for her next victim. She was getting really tired of the guys in her relationships always thinking they had the upper hand so she decided to try a different avenue this time. Ann was proving to be a refreshing change. It was immediately clear who controlled their relationship and that's exactly how Calista wanted it.
Ethan knew his sister was twisted but he didn't realize just what level she'd go to in order to get what she wanted. He knew she didn't really like girls in this way unless that was just one of her many lies. Nobody in her family knew what to believe anymore.
Jaedon bumped into Juliet on his way into town one day and discovered she was pregnant. Apparently, Austin and her had been trying for awhile and had just learned she was finally expecting. Jaedon was thrilled for them and promised to pass the good news onto everyone at home.
It would seem Calista has no idea what it means to use protection. She could just kick herself for being so stupid again. There's no way she'll make this mistake anymore. No more babies for her!
Dmitri and Katie are really struggling with their daughter's choices, but are trying their best to hide it. They've truly been disgraced by Calista. All they ever wanted for their children were to be good, honest people but Calista fell far from the tree on that one. They're afraid it's too late for her. Fortunately, the rest of their children seem to be doing okay.
Ethan's garden is really coming along quite nicely. He keeps pulling out lower quality plants and replacing them with higher quality fruits and veggies. Between that and fertilizing the plants with fish he's got several perfect plants growing already.
When not gardening or fishing, Ethan enjoys spending his time reading about them. Fishing books are especially helpful because they give you tips on what kind of bait to use to catch certain types of fish. That's a whole lot better then guessing!
After having been a dedicated follower of Jaedon's music, Miley fell hard for him. She showed up nearly every day just to listen to him play. At first, it freaked Jaedon out a bit but after he got to know her a little he realized she was totally normal, if just a bit obsessed with his music. Over time their friendship blossomed into a romance and now they're getting married.
A short while later, Jaedon maxed out his painting and guitar skills and married Miley. He moved in with her and her old college roommate. It was too bad he didn't have an audience to witness him maxing out his guitar skill. Oh well, everyone must have been busy.
Doh! The ghosts are starting to take over the house again. I don't know how but they're all managing to escape their fence. At least Dexter's ghost isn't bothering anyone. He's probably just excited that there's another avid fisherman in the house. If you'll recall Dexter's LTW was to have the perfect aquarium.
As Calista gets bigger in the belly so does her son, Keegan. She has no qualms about being a mother. However, there are much more "important" things on her mind.
When news arrived that Juliet had given birth, Katie was the first one to show up at her home to meet her new grandson. To an outsider, Katie looks like an excited grandma. However, those that know Juliet well know Katie was there to make sure her lovely daughter didn't mistake the baby for a doll she could shove in a box some where and forget about it. Juliet's never really been right in the head and gets confused often.
Sadly, Dmitri's time was up. He died a very happy man though.
When grimmy showed up he gracefully left with him. Dmitri had achieved his lifetime wish to raise five children from babies to teenagers a long time ago and was grateful he got to watch his children start family's of their own. The only person he worried about was Calista but she was a force to be reckoned with and could bounce back from almost anything.
Katie was devastated. Dmitri had been a part of her life for so long that she wasn't sure she'd know what to do without him. Then she remembered she had five young grandchildren, two which lived with her, to keep her mind and time occupied. Her children would help her get through the rough patches and before long she'd be back with Dmitri.
When Calista went into labor with her second son, Logan showed up to help her. They were both filled with joy when Jeremiah showed himself to them. He's evil and a light sleeper.
After lots of hard work and long maternity leaves, Katie finally achieved her lifetime wish to become an International Super Spy. She had began losing sight of her wish through all the diaper changes and midnight feedings during her early adulthood, but that changed once she returned to work after the triplets were born. Her determination increased ten folds when all her children were in school. It was no surprise to her kids that she made it all the way to the top. They're all so proud of her for making her dream come true.
As much as Calista wanted to kick Logan to the curb long ago, she decided to wait until the baby was born. Now, that her crazy hormones had worn off she couldn't figure out why she'd kept him around for so long. Of course, Logan was upset but if he was honest with himself he had seen this coming. Calista was quickly becoming the town Heartbreaker.
Calista called Ann up the minute Logan left. She had been wanting to get her paws around her for far too long. This was her first experience with a woman and she actually liked it. She likes men too but women offer something a little different.
For now Keegan's a happy little boy. He's still too young to really understand what his mom's doing. Fortunately, all his aunts and uncles are fairly stable so maybe through them he'll see what a normal household is like.
Ethan: "So, mom, I'm probably going to move out soon. I can just feel my lifetime wish will be fulfilled soon."
Katie: "Are you going to move in with Stephanie?"
Ethan: "Yes, but first we'll get married."
Katie: "Are you going to have a wedding?"
Ethan: "We'll probably do something small. Don't worry though, you're #1 on my guest list."
While Ethan and Katie further discussed his wedding plans, Ethan's garden reached perfect status. He was finally free to move out and marry Stephanie.
That night Ethan met Stephanie at their favorite spot to tell her the good news. Stephanie's excitement quickly turned into panic. She knew this day would come but wasn't prepared for it. There was so much preparation to do in such little time, but Ethan assured her he'd be there to help with everything.
Before she bothers breaking up with Ann, Calista has to ensure there's another sim to take her place. A good mother would never take their child with them when they're on the prowl but nobody ever said Calista was a good mother. She met Jerrod on her outing and figured he'd do for her next notch on the ole belt.
Jeremiah is getting bigger. Calista, er, I mean Katie will have her hands full teaching Keegan the rest of his skills while having to teach Jeremiah all his skills. At least it'll keep her mind off Dmitri.
Ethan and Stephanie's family and close friends gathered around Ethan's garden as the happy couple exchanged wedding vows. Ethan's sister, Valarie and his overly adventurous Uncle Aaron were among several in the crowd to cheer them on.
Katie felt so proud of and happy for her son at that moment. She was delighted to see all his hopes and wishes in life coming through. Stephanie and him were good together.
There were a fair amount of sims that witnessed the happy exchange. For reasons unknown to Ethan, Calista insisted on bringing her current girlfriend, who he knew she was breaking up with very soon and that annoyed him. With that one exception everyone there was close to the couple. Ethan was happy to see everyone especially his Uncle Bobby (in the green sweater) who'd he hadn't seen in years.
Katie was glad their whole family could make it including her brothers. She knows how much Ethan likes them. Everyone seemed to have a good time that evening, including Juliet who doesn't always seem quite with it. Katie's so glad she has a husband who loves her, quirks and all.
Sure enough, Calista dumped Ann the day after Ethan's wedding. She mumbled something about how wrong it seemed for her to be with a woman when tradition says she should be with a man. It was a load of crap of course, but it got Ann to leave her alone.
Calista was too busy breaking sims hearts to even notice her sons. If it weren't for Katie and Ethan, when he was still living at home, the boys would have been put in foster care by now. Katie hopes she can make it long enough to see both boys in school. At least that way she knows they'll be taken care of while they're there.
Nevermind how neglectful Calista is with her sons, Katie can rest assured she'll never let the house burn down or allow a leak to go unnoticed. Calista's neurotic ways are good for something at least.
Sadly, Katie wouldn't see Calista's boys become kids. She past away a day before Keegan would grow up.
True to form, Calista was busy making a move on her next target during the final moments of her mother's life. Jerrod's heart would soon become the 5th she broke.
While gravely worried about her grandsons, Katie knew Calista was smart enough to take care of their physical needs. She just hoped her other children would surround the boys life with positive influences. Her time was up though and there wasn't much else she could do. She went with grimmy willingly, anxious to see Dmitri again.
Calista sealed the deal as her mother past away. He'd be out the door once Calista found another sims heart to break though. Her boys are going to be so confused once they're old enough to understand what's going on.
Keegan grew up the next day as expected and is probably old enough now to start wondering what's going on with his mom's promiscuous ways. To this day, Keegan's father has never visited his son, which is really no surprise since he dislikes chidren anyways. His fellow classmates in school are bound to get his mind wondering about that though.
Keegan added the couch potato trait to his existing easily impressed and brave traits.
Calista's still working on becoming a mad scientist. Her father mistakenly put in her head that she could do some serious damage once she got up high enough through experiments in the lab. Surely, nobody will mess with her then.
Jeremiah was fairing well enough. Calista remembers to feed him, change his diaper and let him out of his crib every once in awhile. Of course, the babysitters are much more attentive to him then she could ever be.
He managed to grow up well though, thanks to his grandma teaching him all the basic skills he'd need in life. He added neat to his list of traits.

Chapter 6

Ah, Ethan couldn't be more of a Roland if he tried! All the time he spends in the garden tending to it gets him in the mood to run through the sprinkler every once in awhile. Ethan's LTW is to have the perfect garden and I will do everything I can to make that happen, so what if he's not the heir this generation.
As anyone who reads through my legacy thread on boolprop knows, Calista has been picked as heir this generation. Fellow readers seemed to like her and I knew she'd keep things interesting after her LTW options popped up . Lets not forget Jaedon though. He will stay in the legacy house for now until he reaches his LTW of maxing out the painting and guitar skills.
I didn't really have a favorite from this generation but Juliet would have been a close second to Calista for me. I just like that she's insane. Austin and her are still only friends, but hopefully that'll change soon since she'll be moving out when she becomes a young adult.
Valarie's cute and all, but she's a bit boring. All she wants to do is jog around the neighborhood or go swimming. Calista will totally change things up a bit.
Dmitri is the sole owner of three different businesses downtown. Once a week, he goes out and collects money from each of them. Who knew it could be so easy to run a business!
Calista and Adam had been friends since childhood but she never thought he was boyfriend material. That all changed the minute her goodie-two-shoes sister, Valarie, expressed an interest in him. There was no way she was going to let her have him, so before Valarie even had a chance Calista put the moves on Adam. Ever since then, he's been like a lost puppy dog that can't be without her.
One relationship that's pure and true is Ethan and Stephanie's. They have been dating for many years and are very happy together. Their future hasn't been decided yet but they can't see one without the other one in it. Ethan just has to finish his LTW first.
Calista: "Adam, I know we've been getting pretty close lately, more then I would have ever dreamed, so maybe we should make it official."
Adam: "You mean like boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Calista: "Yeah, that way my sister knows you're off limits."
Adam: "I would be honored to be your boyfriend, but you have nothing to worry about as far as your sister is concerned. She's sweet and all but you have my heart."
Jaedon is progressing quite nicely with his painting skills. He wanted to make sure to paint his parents portraits before they became elders. Dmitri's was started just in the nick of time while Katie's was completed a couple days early.
With all her kids teenagers or older, Katie can finally focus on her career. For years she had been stuck in the same old position but she's recently made several advances and is moving up quickly. At least twice a week she makes rounds to her friends homes to get the latest scoop from them on the neighborhood crime and write reports on them.
She's getting older and things aren't so easy anymore. Her body isn't as limber as it once was and her memory keeps playing tricks on her. Hopefully, it won't effect her career too much. She still really wants to become an International Super Spy.
Ethan went out to collect some seeds but got a bit distracted when he found some beautiful butterflies fluttering around. He just had to check them out.
It may not be the right time to start playing the guitar in front of city hall, but Jaedon doesn't seem to mind. If he's lucky, the protesters will remember his music and come back to tip him when they aren't ranting and raving.
Yay! It's about darn time. These two have been friends for way too long. I'm glad to see they finally crossed over that line. For awhile there I thought Austin might not be interested since Juliet's not totally with it all the time.
Dmitri has a lot of spare time on his hands these days. Katie is working hard on her career and all his kids are usually out and about doing something. His job in the business field keeps him busy most days but he needed a hobby to keep him busy at night. Stargazing is filling that void very well. He's already discovered a couple of stars.
What is this? Catherine, who writes the DeCasims legacy, would be so disappointed. It almost looks like Dmitri in the background is over seeing that they all finish their homework before school. He looks so professional in his business suit.
After Adam rejected Valarie for a kiss, she'd promptly written him off. He was in too close with her evil sister and if he couldn't see how awful she was then forget him! In time, he'd get what was coming to him anyway. There weren't really any other boys her age that appealed to her so any romance potential would have to wait until she became a young adult. Valarie was determined to stay in great shape until then.
Do any of you know what this is? I certainly didn't but figured I'd check it out anyways. It's the death flower and I found it growing in the cemetery. Of course, I had Ethan pick it and replant it at home. I have no idea what it does, but I'm guessing it's either real bad or real good.
Ethan's garden is coming along nicely. He's got a couple perfect plants growing and has taken up talking to them in hopes it'll make them better quality. I've started disposing of low quality plants and replanting them with their higher quality picked produce. This is helping increase the quality rather quickly. Calista didn't even flinch when she saw how hurt Valarie was when Adam rejected her attempt at a kiss with him. In fact, she felt a sick sense of satisfaction from it. Adam may be her oldest friend but he really doesn't make her heart flutter at the mere sight of him like she'd hope. Once Valarie was clearly out of the picture, she'd have to break things off with him.
Another hobby Dmitri has taken up or rather picked up again, was upgrading the appliances around the legacy house. Here he is improving the quality of food that can be cooked in the oven. I don't know how banging on the stove accomplishes that but okay.
It's birthday time and the girls got cake because Ethan lured one out on his daily fishing trip. He bought two more on his way home so they'd each have their own candles to blow out. First up was Valarie. She ended up going to school late on her final day because she got glitched and finished school with a B so I couldn't pick her final trait. She was assigned lucky. That sucks since this trait is suppose to be the family trait. Oh well...not like she's the heiress anyways. Her LTW is to become a Superstar.
Juliet was up next. I kept randomizing the last trait until one of Eddie's original trait's showed up. This is actually how I'm improvising instead of using a die to roll. It totally works. Juliet added inappropriate to her list of traits which won't effect her much since she's insane and already wears clothes that don't make much sense. Her LTW is the same as Jaedon's, max out painting and the guitar skills.
I saved the best for last. Calista added commitment issues to her traits and the LTW Heartbreaker popped up. Up until this point, I figured she'd become Empress of Evil but after her reaction to Valarie's interest in Adam I couldn't not chose Heartbreaker for her. If hrootbeer's second legacy, Succubus, premise could be based on this LTW then I could certainly survive one generation of it.
For once, our fair Juliet didn't waste a second taking her relationship with Austin to the next level. She called him up the day after her birthday and asked if he'd like to get married. Of course, he said yes. They wed immediately and are living in a nice cozy house together that I made just for them.
Calista was anxious to get a start on her LTW so she headed over to the neighbors. She had not met them before but knew there were two males and only one female living there. Theodore greeted her at the door and invited her in. Mere seconds past before Calista asked if he was involved with someone. It turns out he's a happily married man.
The other male in the house, Lawrence, was holding a baby in his hands. That didn't look very promising. As it turns out though, Theodore is the baby's father and Lawrence is 100% single. He will so be boyfriend #2 once Adam becomes a young adult and Calista breaks it off with him.
Like her sisters, Valarie was preparing for her future too. She took a job at the local stadium as a rabid fan in the hopes she would quickly move up the career ladder there.
Valarie was also finally making some real progress in romance. Juliet had been telling Valarie about Austin's older brother, Brad, for months but Valarie wasn't old enough to date him until now. After introducing the two at the park, Juliet left them alone to chat.
On a side note: my lot has to be glitched! I'm fairly certain ghosts are only suppose to come out at night but not the Rolands...they come out whenever they feel like it and apparently magically pull newspapers and books out of their pockets. The newspaper delivery boy is always complaining about how many newspapers are laying around. Stupid ghosts!
Dmitri: "Oh Calista, you should so totally become a scientist! That would be the coolest thing ever."
Calista: "What? Why?"
Dmitri: "After raising your siblings and you, it's the next largest wish of mine."
Calista: "But scientists wear horrible clothes!"
Dmitri: "C'mon, just think of all the evil experiments you could do."
Calista: "Hmm...what a good idea. You may have convinced me."
While all sorts of evil thoughts were racing through Calista's mind, nothing but sweet and enduring thoughts were running through Ethan's. He knew he had to achieve his LTW before he could tie the knot with Stephanie but he wanted to make sure she'd be waiting for him when he was ready. She accepted his proposal under the condition that he wouldn't make her wait until she was an elder for them to wed. He really hoped it wouldn't take that long to get his perfect garden.
Calista was eager to get Lawrence wrapped around her little finger. Everything was going according to plan so far.
Calista wasn't the only one getting some action. Brad found Valarie very smart and attractive and Valarie thought Brad was a big, sweet teddy bear. Valarie was maybe a little too eager to finally have a boyfriend though.
When he's not busy painting, Jaedon can usually be found playing the guitar in front of the bistro. City Hall seems to draw a much larger crowd when he plays there so he may be setting up camp there next time. The lady in this picture is his biggest fan yet!
Katie looks almost like a mad scientist from TS2 but with rubber gloves. Don't be fooled though she's a special agent in the police force. This is merely her disguise.
City Hall is definitely a better place to play then the bistro. Jaedon's only been there for about an hour and he already has three listeners. His tips are getting bigger too!
Calista was ready to be done with Adam and his sad puppy dog eyes he always gave her. It appeared Valarie would no longer pose a threat to her friendship with him so she broke off their relationship as gently as she could. He did not take the news very well, but he promised he'd try to stay friends with her.
Who knew playing the guitar at City Hall could snagged Jaedon a woman. Miley had spent the day dancing to his tunes. When he was ready to call it quits for the evening Miley struck up a conversation with him. Well, maybe there was more flirting then talking but Jaedon didn't really mind.
Valarie: "Oh no, are you pregnant too?"
Calista: "Yeah, it's not that terrible of a thing."
Valarie: "What are you talking about? Yes, it is! You're not married and neither am I. This is horrible!"
Calista: "Oh, please. We aren't living in the dark ages anymore. Sims woohoo with each other when they aren't married and get knocked up all the time."
Valarie: "Well, are you going to marry the babies father?"
Calista: "No way!"
Valarie: "Are you mad? Don't you want to do right by your child?"
Calista: "My child will be just fine. Their dad doesn't even like children so they'll probably be better off without him."
Valarie: "I'm going to make sure I'm married before my baby is born and I'd advise you to do the same."
Calista: "Whatever! Get out of my face!"

Valarie moved in with Brad and his parents shortly after this.
Needless to say, Lawrence was not too pleased to learn Calista was pregnant with his baby. At Calista's request he agreed to go steady with her for the baby's sake. Neither was ready to start talking about marriage though.
Boyfriend or no boyfriend, pregnant or not pregnant, nothing was going to stop Calista from pursuing her LTW. Calista met Logan right outside City Hall where Jaedon was playing his guitar. She figured most men weren't interested in pregnant woman so for the time being she just wanted to build their friendship. When the time was right she'd make sure they'd become more then that.
Apparently, ghosts like to keep in shape. I don't really get it. It's not like they could have a heart attack from not taking care of themselves and end up dying or anything crazy like that. Geesh!
Early the next morning Calista went into labor. Lawrence showed up about half way through the delivery. Afterwards, he made sure Calista and Keegan made it home okay. Keegan is brave and easily impressed.
If anyone ever doubted who the father of Calista's baby was, Keegan's fair skin should convince you it's Keegan and not Adam. Calista never actually woohoo'd with Adam so that's virtually impossible anyways.
Calista: "So, uh look, I know I wanted to be your girlfriend while I was pregnant but I think that was the hormones speaking. I'm not ready to be tied down yet."
Lawrence: "Phew! I thought you were going to give me the marriage speech. This was so much better."
Calista: "Don't let that stop you from visiting Keegan whenever you want though."
Lawrence: "Oh, maybe when he's a teenager. I can't stand kids!"
