houshold; Claire Kim = Adult

Barely a season out of college, Claire found herself with child.  She’d spent most her money on her house that was just barely big enough for her.  She threw herself into her work.  Working as hard as she could to get promotions.  With what money she made she built a second floor to her tiny downtown home.  She put 2 bedrooms and bathrooms.  She removed the downstairs bedroom and bathroom.  Keeping the small front room on the downstairs intake as an office.  She got her baby furniture from storage and put it in the smaller bedroom upstairs.

She spent the majority of her maternity leave sleeping.  She’d gone out a few times.  She’d gone shopping, running into Mel Fancey and his sisters Lizzy and Stacie.  She visited her half brother Danny Lotherio where she got to meet her youngest half sister Neila.  She attended her nephew Rob’s childhood birthday party.  When her half sister Donelle invited her to her graduation party, she couldn’t say no.  She’d had more fun at Donelle’s party the Sam’s.

Sam’s graduation party seemed to cause her more problems.  Dean Caliente had grabbed her and kissed her in front of Mel.  Now Mel was very angry at her.  He knew she was a romance sim and that she was not always faithful to him, but she had always been careful not to let him see her with someone else.

Claire hadn’t spent much time with Mel since becoming pregnant by his youngest brother.  They’d talked a few times, but she knew he was hurting.  She knew it was only a matter of time before Mel would call off their engagement.  She should have never accepted his proposal but she had gotten caught in the moment.  They’d had a wonderful dream date at Sim State’s tower.  He proposed to her at the tower, it had been so romantic; she couldn’t help herself and said yes.  Now she felt like a social out cast while Mel was quickly becoming the most eligible bachelor in Pleasantview. 

When the day came for Claire to give birth she was nervous about being alone.  There was only one person she could think of that she wanted there for the big moment.   Clyde, her twin brother, came right over when she called him.  He was there cheering her on when she gave birth to a baby girl.

“What’s her name?”  Clyde asked gazing at his new little niece.

“Samantha,” Claire whispered cuddling her new born.

“I like it,” Clyde said, “If you need me again give me a call.  I need to get home to Brie and Rob.”

“Thank you for being here,” Claire smiled as she took in the perfection of her baby.

Claire managed to get some sleep the first night.  In the morning she called Sam.

“We have a daughter,” she said over the phone, “would you like to come see our little Samantha?”

“I have a friend over can I bring them with?” Sam asked.

Claire sighed, “I guess”

Claire knew Sam was also a romance sim, and she hoped he wouldn’t bring another girl to see their baby.

When Sam arrived he had Jimmy Phoenix with him.  Claire relaxed.  She didn’t worry when Jimmy held the baby since he was already a father of two girls.  Sam told her to rest and he took the baby from Jimmy and fed her a bottle.

Claire was glad to see that Sam was going to be an involved father.  Claire had barely known her own father, Don Lotherio.  Robert Kim had been a good father to her and her brother.  But Claire had wanted to know Don.  She had tried keeping in touch with him when she was growing up but they’d never had much friendship.

After Sam and Jimmy had left, Claire put Samantha in the crib.  She took a bath then climbed into her own bed for a nap.  She needed fun but rest was more important.  With a sigh she drifted off to sleep.
