SIMS CREATION: The Brisbane Family Saga, Part Four

Rodney spent virtually everything he had, over fifty thousand simoleans to build the home of his dreams. Two floors, three bedrooms, four baths, a large eat-in kitchen with counter seating and open plan dining room, an enormous formal parlor and living room area and his own man cave/office. It even had a music nook with a baby grand piano.




Almost to the day he finished his dream house, he got a call from a girl he'd met some time back, Melina Hawthorn. She wanted to go on a date with Rodney. They met up at Magnolia Park and immediately rekindled their budding romance. Rodney thought it was a bit odd Melina wore a party dress with an old brown bowler hat but thought it was just a quirk of hers. 



Before you know it they were dating regularly when Melina showed up for their third date, she looked a bit large in the tummy. She was pregnant. Rodney did the right thing and proposed and although he had almost no money, he spent his last few simoleans on their simple home wedding. It was beautiful none the less and everyone there had a great time. But what a mess they left. The caterer put half-made meals on every tabletop surface in the house! All at Rodney's expense.


As if timed for the worst possible impact, the mailman arrived with bills in excess of 1,800 bucks! Rodney had no choice but to sell a few of his things to avoid his power being cut off.

So with a mere hundred or so simoleans to his name, Melina and Rodney were soon off to the hospital. There Natalie gave birth to a beautiful little girl they named Katherine. What a bundle of joy.


But the next day, Rodney came back from work early to help Melina with caring for the baby. Instead of being with Katherine, Melina ignored the child and let her cry in her crib in that dark room upstairs while she and her brother were having lunch in the kitchen. After tending to his screaming baby girl, Rodney stormed downstairs to confront Melina on her negligence when he overheard Melina and her brother talking about Don.

"Finally that brat shut the fuck up." Melina exclaimed. Mathias joked "Maybe the little fucker's dead?" "Well that'd be fine by me," proclaimed Melina. "As it is I gotta find a way to get rid of it and Rodney." Natalie looked at her brother scornfully "If you hadn't of let that old fag father of his die, we would have had time to get a ransom outta Rodney and I wouldn't have had to get knocked up and marry the asshole!"

Rodney couldn't believe his ears. Shocked, he stumbled back and hit the edge of the piano. Hearing the noise, Melina and Mathias discovered Rodney. Just as they were about to lunge for him, Rodney, holding his baby girl, ran out of the house and to the police station.
