The carpet tickled Saturday’s bare feet as she slid from her bed and headed into the small computer room off the third floor master suite. She looked through the help wanted ads as she did every morning. There was still no opening in law enforcement. She let out a deep sigh. She wasn’t happy with her acting job. Her aspiration was to become a captian hero.
She wondered if at this point in her life if it would be a good move. After her indiscretion with Dean Caliente she was feeling a little low about herself. She wandered from the computer room back through her room and finally into the bathroom. She turned the water on in tub for a bubble bath. When she slide into the warm water she tried to rationalize her behavior. She was still moarning her mother’s death. Dude had been going out a lot lately but then again so had she. She wanted to feel young again, well, she wasn’t really that old. Got lost in the heat of the moment, was probly the closest to the truth, but didn’t sit well with her.
On the second floor, Saturday checked Morty’s bathroom. It was clean. She walked into the nursry. She had a heavy heart looking at the empty crib. She wanted another baby. Morty was a teen now, he wouldn’t be living at home for much longer. As family sims, both Saturday and Dude wanted lots of children. No matter how much they tried it was starting to feel like it would never happen.
Saturday went back to her daily morning routine, went to work, came home and made dinner. Dude went about his normal daily routines as well. Neither one spoke much beyond the basic important things.
Morty was able to find time beyond his homework for other things. He played with cat teaser with Mc.Cool regularly. He called his friends and even invited a few lovely young girls over. He was very into Stacie Fancey and they both seemed to like hanging out with Jaymie Phoenix.
Wanting to get her life and marriage back on track Saturday asked Dude for a date.
“I don’t feel up to going out tonight” Dude sighed.
“I wasn’t thinking that kind of date, silly,” She replyied with a sly smile.
Dude’s face lite up. They had a good time on their little at home date that ended with them in each others’ arms in their bed.
The next morning, Saturday went about her useal routine with a spring in her step. She found an opening in law enforcement and took the job right away. Her first day went smoothly, she was in a different unit then Dean so she didn’t see him.
She was home from work before Dude and decided to make something extra special for dinner. They still had some fish frozen in the freezer left from their honeymoon. Saturday smiled to herself as she remembered their camping trip in the mountains. How sick she had been because she had gotten pregnate with Morty. She thought about how different things had been when they lived in the apartment. How hot and heavy her relationship with Dude had been.
Dude dove into the fish dinner when he got home and they talked for hours over the meal. Morty spent the evening on the phone, he promised his mother he’d eat later. So the couple just relaxed and enjoyed each other’s company before turning in early.
“Are you sure?” Dude asked when Saturday informed him of her big news. The last few days they had spent so much time rediscovering the magic that seemed to have fizzled when they bought the house.
“of course I’m sure” Saturday laughed, “it not like I’ve never been pregnate before.”
Despite not having morning sickness this time around she found herself hungrier then before as well as more tired. She seemed to only ever have the energy to go down the two flights of stairs to get something to eat then trudge back up to rest.
She reached the top of the second set, her tummy large with baby to find Mc.Cool standing by his bed meowing pitifully at her.
“What’s wrong boy?” she asked the cat. A dark figure appeared rushing towards the cat.
“Oh, no!” Saturday cried but it was to late. Mc.Cool was gone.
Saturday curled up on her bed crying. A twinge of pain shot through her belly. Followed by another and then another. She was in labor. Her cries of agony brought Dude rushing up the stairs. The first thing he saw was the little urn with his cat then he saw his wife have a baby boy. She handed him the new born and cried out again. Another little boy.
“Victor and Franklyn,” Morty repeated when his parents introduced him to his brothers, ”Cool names.”
They only had the nursery set up for one baby, they put Victor in there. They converted the office next to their room into a nursery for Franklyn.
“I think this room is to drafty for him.” Dude said when he felt Franklyn shivering in his crib.
“I don’t want to kick Morty out of his room and I don’t think it’s a good idea to have the babies in the same room, they’ll wake each other up.” Saturday replyed confused.
“well until we can come up with a better solution, I’ll move his crib to the second floor landing. It’s very room and much warmer.” Dude said. “I know you love the layout of the house, but I might have to build another bedroom somewhere.”
“We’ll see.” Saturday mumbled taking Franklyn so Dude could move his crib.
