household; Sam Fancey = adult

Sam bought a small two story house around the corner from Claire Kim in downtown Pleasantview.  He wanted to be close to his child.  He set about remodling the house.  There where two bedrooms upstairs but the bathroom was down stairs.  That needed to be changed.  It took a lot of planning and replanning to get two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs.  The second bedroom was a bit small but he figured his child wouldn’t stay the night very often and wouldn’t need much.

He’d hardly settled in when Claire gave him the news.  A baby girl named Samantha.  When he fed his little girl a bottle he looked around Claire’s house.  She’d done a good job remodling and making room for their child.  He noticed she had yet to get a high chair.  He knew he had one in storage and figured he’d never have a reason to use it.  When he returned home he got the high chair and did some more shopping.  He decorated the spare bedroom in reds and pinks for Samantha and put some play ground equipment out back for her.  Just a slide and some monkey bars in white.  Then he bought an entire play ground set in lavender to give to Claire.

He called his parents to tell them about the birth of his little girl and mom offered to be the one to tell Mel.  Sam called his brother Steve and told him as well as ask if there was any openings where he worked.  Steve worked in the music carreer and shared the same life aspiration to become a rock god.

“I was lucky to find my job,” Steve said, “Just keep looking on the computer, something’s bound to break, but if I hear anything I’ll call you.”

“cool, thanks,” Sam said to his older brother.

“I gotta get to work, congrads again on the little girl.” Steve said before hanging up.

No sooner had Sam hung up with his brother, and the phone rang. 

“I’m getting some friends together to celebrate my new neice,” Snow Kim’s voice came through the receiver. “wanna go celebrate your baby girl?”

The cab dropped the group of at Crypto’s Night Club.  Snow had invited along a bunch of her friends; Beau Broke, Bell Goth, Dan Crazy, Sydney Roseland and of course the new mom, Claire Kim.  The group ran into Angela Pheonix who had stopped in for a bite to eat.  A little while later Dude Lames also showed up.  Sam tried his hand at working as a DJ and noticed Bell slap Sydney.  He wondered who or what that was all about.  He also couldn’t keep his eyes off Claire.  As she danced with her sister Snow he noticed Claire was looking good for someone who had just had a baby.  With a sly smile he let the house DJ take back over. 

“come with me.” He whispered to Claire and led her to the photo booth.  It didn’t take long til they had the thing rocking so hard sparks where flying from it like fire works. When they emerged from the photo booth without photos they were greeted with mixed responses.  Most people were cheering but Bell gave him a hard slap.  Dan also had a slap for Claire.

“I’ve been getting slapped a lot recently,” Claire sighed looking at Sam.

“Maybe this will cheer you up.”  Sam said handing her a gift.  “just a few things for Samantha.”

Claire smiled and tucked it away.

Sam played the night back in his head on the cab ride home.  He smiled about his moment of bliss with Claire.  He also pondered the cause of the rift between Bell and Sydney that had them slapping each other all night until eventully a fight broke out between them bringing the outing to an end.

The next day Sam hung out at home.  He had a lot of cleaning to do.  When he took the trash out he noticed Angela Phoenix walking by.  He struck up a conversation with her.  They talked for close to two hours out front his house.

“wanna have a date?” He asked her with a wink.

Angela jumped back and waved her hands at him, “Oh, no, I’m a married woman!”

“how about just having lunch?” he laughed.

“that I can do.”  She said and followed him into the house.

“Wow! Who’s your maid?” Angela asked looking around.

Sam Paused by the fridge. “Why, something worng?”

“ah, why no,” Angela giggled, “I didn’t think a single guy would have such a clean house.  I’m forever picking up after Jimmy and the girls.”

Angela hung out with Sam the rest of the day talking about different cleaning tips.

After she left he went through the house checking to see if anything had gotten dirty then called the taxi.

He went to Cold Issue Clothing and picked up some new cloths.  He ran into Alexander Goth and struck up a conversation.  Alexander didn’t seem to have much to say other then Gina and the twins were fine.  Thanks for your condolence for Cassandra, and a quick congradulations on the baby girl.

As Alexander walked away heading for the door, Sam thought he heard him mumble something about “womanizer” and “cad”.

Spotting a group of people by the changing room Sam wandered over to see what was going on.  He found Claire and his brother, Steve playing kicky bag with some townies.  Sam hung back and cheered them on for a bit.  He wanted to watch longer but he was getting hungry and tired.  Plus he didn’t know if Claire and Steve were on a date or not.  Steve was also a romance sim.  Sam didn’t want to interfere on their night, just incase, so he headed home.

Climbing from the cab Sam saw something that sent chills through him.  Alexander Goth was kicking over his trash.  Garbage lay every where.   Sam was stunned.  How could anyone want to delebratly make such a mess.    Sam decided to prevent anyone from doing that again. he would just compost his trash in the yard.  He bought a composter and cleaned the garbage up leaving the empty can laying on the ground.  He grabbed a plate of leftovers before going to bed. 

After work the next day he realized he hadn’t seen his sisters much and decided to have them and some of their friends over for a small house party.  He invited Dan and Mellow Crazy, Dude Lames, Heart and Bobbie Happiness and Justin Kim.  Both his sisters, Lizzy and Stacie came.  Apparently he needed to spend more time getting to know them.  Justin Kim jumped into Lizzy’s arms causeing a big ruckase.  Heart slapped Justin.  Bobbie slapped Lizzy but Lizzy wasn’t going to stand for that and she slapped him back.  Sam quickly served a meal and the food seemed to distract everyone except for Dude, who spent the entire party in Sam’s room on the computer.

After everyone left, Sam cleaned up.  As he was scrubbing the counter the phone rang. 

“Next time, ask us who our friends are,” Stacie scolded over the phone.  “Don’t you ever pay attention to what’s happening in your own family?”

“Well..I..I don’t understand…” Sam mumbled into the phone.

“You’re so clueless,” Stacy sighed.  She explained what had happened as a result of Lizzy dating Bobbie.  Sam found himself repeating a lot of, “Oh, wow” and “I didn’t realize” along with a few, “I’m sorry”.
