  <title>The Cook Legacy: Generation 02, Part 02</title>
  <link>http://clevermeal.livejournal.com/3475.html</link>
  <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/title.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/01.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/02.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life wasn&apos;t that exciting lately, but of course the annoying calls from Nickole never stopped.... That was the most exciting part in our lives it seemed.&lt;br /&gt;That girl really had no brains. Did she not understand that she wasn&apos;t really making our lives miserable? It really only made us want to kill her more and more. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/03.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/04.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/05.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally got fed up, I had taken her crap for too long so I finally let her have it!&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Nickole, quit f**king calling us! We don&apos;t like it, nor appreciate it.&lt;br /&gt;Really you&apos;re not making our lives that miserable. &lt;br /&gt;Quit being childish and grow the f**k up!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;And then I hung the phone up on her.&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully she&apos;d get the hint.&lt;br /&gt;Nah, probably not!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/06.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though things were a bit crazy and the crap with Nickole didn&apos;t make things better I was still so excited for the new baby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/07.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/08.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I felt like I wasn&apos;t being a big part of Ronnie&apos;s life lately so even though I didn&apos;t feel too good most the time I taught him to walk. It was so much fun and I felt proud. I was also glad that Tristan didn&apos;t have to do everything, that I could do something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/09.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/10.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was pooped so he went to bed early that night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/11.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to show Tristan that I really could be helpful, even if I didn&apos;t really want to &amp;gt;:O&lt;br /&gt;This pregnancy was a lot harder than Ronnie&apos;s. But I pushed through!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/12.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.... Oh god, there she goes again. I guess nothing got through to that girl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/13.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/14.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/15.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ronnie continued to get into trouble, which didn&apos;t please me too much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/16.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/17.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the stress was getting to my head, and the headaches constantly came back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/18.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My belly continued to grow, just when I thought it wasn&apos;t huge enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/19.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/20.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tristan being Super Dad got to potty train Ronnie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/21.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started to get really upset and something in my head snapped and I snatched Ronnie and took him away from Tristan. I don&apos;t know what was going on with me, but I was tired of Tristan getting all the fame and glory and getting to be with Ronnie all the time. For f**k sake even the nanny got to spend more time with Ronnie than I did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/22.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/23.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it broke my heart to have Ronnie kick and toss at me. As if he didn&apos;t want to be with me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/24.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/25.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maxx had finally grown up and boy had he really GROWN! It seemed only yesterday he was just a little puppy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/26.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mitch and I continued our friendship and often chatted online. I was really starting to connect with him and I trusted him a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/27.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nickole thought knocking our trash down would piss us off, nah, it&apos;s trash as if we care. But it did annoy the garbage man a bit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/28.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/29.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My heart still continued to break, Ronnie always walked to Tristan with open arms. Everytime daddy was around Ronnie would break out with a huge grin, but no not with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/30.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/31.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Tristan went to teach him to talk, Ronnie mastered it with no problems. And as always Tristan continued to bask in the glory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/32.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/33.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few weeks later the time had come!!! Baby time that is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/34.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2002/35.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I present to you Spencer Cook. I really hope he will be different and wouldn&apos;t turn away from me like Ronnie. And I promised myself that I will be there for him, no matter what. I would prove that I could be the greatest mommy ever!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Previous chapters:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://clevermeal.livejournal.com/2396.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Generation 01 Part 01&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://clevermeal.livejournal.com/2709.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Generation 01 Part 02&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://clevermeal.livejournal.com/3033.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Generation 01 Part 03&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://clevermeal.livejournal.com/3108.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Generation 02 Part 01&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>The Cook Legacy: Generation 02, Part 01</title>
  <link>http://clevermeal.livejournal.com/3108.html</link>
  <description>Yay! An update! W00t.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/title.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/01.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life as a mother was going great, no I didn&apos;t forget the dog, Tristan and I continued to take care of Maxx and trained him as much as we could.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/03.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/02.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But taking care of Ronnie was a lot more work, and required a lot of our full attention. It&apos;s okay, he was such a bundle of joy that we didn&apos;t mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/04.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As soon as I got home I went straight to taking care of Ronnie. Tristan was usually always at work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/05.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/06.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/07.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/08.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few days later Nickole ended up calling our place. Tristan told her about the baby and that we were doing great. He said he wanted nothing to do with her, yet he ended up talking to her for a good hour or so...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/09.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was taking a bath and overheard and it didn&apos;t please me one bit. I was very irritated that she even had the NERVE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/10.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Ronnie in our lives we often had to order groceries once a week. Every time we had the same delivery guy, I found out his name was Mitch Wolosenko. We ended up becoming quite good friends, just because I saw him so much from deliveries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/11.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/12.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tristan was such a good father to Ronnie, he loved watching after him. He told me he never thought he would dote on him so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/13.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/14.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/15.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our sex life was still amazing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/16.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It definitely always tired us out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/17.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/18.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the mornings Tristan would tend to Ronnie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/19.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ronnie loved it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/20.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ugh, Nickole continued to call all the time, and always asked for Tristan every time. I wondered what the hell she wanted!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/21.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I came home from the salon, I decided it was time for a little change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/22.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/23.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tristan loved watching his evening sports.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/24.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While he was busy doing that, my stomach was in pain. I wondered if I was pregnant again. I wasn&apos;t for sure, it just seemed so soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/25.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tristan had started working out, he was getting a little belly and it annoyed him. He liked being fit, and besides his clothes were getting a bit too tight and he hated buying new clothes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/26.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh that look on my face? Yea, it was NICKOLE calling again. I was contemplating whether or not on disconnecting the phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/27.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/28.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tristan didn&apos;t take the call this time, he wanted to take a shower to get rid of the stench from working out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/29.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few weeks later I finally found out I was pregnant, my belly had gotten huge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/30.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/31.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nickole tried to make our lives miserable by stealing our paper. It&apos;s okay, not like we read the damn things anyway, the newsboy just continued to bring it to us every day. So nice try stupid!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/32.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/33.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We ended up hiring a nanny for Ronnie because we both knew our jobs were going to conflict. Even though I had time off with the new baby on the way. But it was still nice to have the help because I was usually so tired or sick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/34.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/35.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ronnie had grown up and it seemed to slip by me so fast. I was sad I wasn&apos;t there to see it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/36.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/37.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tristan usually gave the nanny a nice tip at the end of the night, we really appreciated her help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/38.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2002%20part%2001/39.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked at Ronnie and saw he looked so much like Tristan when he was younger. It was exciting that he&apos;d soon be a big brother!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Previous chapters:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://clevermeal.livejournal.com/2396.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Generation 01 Part 01&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://clevermeal.livejournal.com/2709.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Generation 02 Part 02&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://clevermeal.livejournal.com/3033.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Generation 02 Part 03&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>The Cook Legacy: Generation 01, Part 03</title>
  <link>http://clevermeal.livejournal.com/3033.html</link>
  <description>I&apos;m done posting anything Sims in my personal journal. It&apos;s all going to be here. So please add this if you want to be updated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, shutting up, time for the next chapter ALREADY! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/title.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/01.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/02.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We received a visitor this morning. Maybe it was a new neighbor?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/03.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tristan was quick to answer. IS THAT ANYWAY TO GREET A NEIGHBOR?!&lt;br /&gt;Oh... That must be his EX-wife. IS THAT ANYWAY TO GREET AN EX-WIFE?!&lt;br /&gt;I was almost certain Tristan had told her off by now. I was starting to have my doubts, and just when I thought things were going great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/04.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I woke up I headed straight to the bathroom. And for some messed up reason Tristan wanted to introduce me to his ex, what&apos;s her name. Nickole. Yea, who the @#&amp;! names their kid Nickole? I guess if you want to call her NICK and not NIC (which is what you get from a bad shave).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/05.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I had no intentions of ever meeting Nickole. I didn&apos;t care for her and I wasn&apos;t too thrilled with Tristan. He lied to me, and that&apos;s a big no-no in my book!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/06.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tristan just walked away, &quot;She&apos;s not really a morning person.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/07.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good one Tristan. No I&apos;m fine in the mornings I just didn&apos;t plan on you bringing your ex over while I&apos;m still in my purple jammies and sitting on the loo.&lt;br /&gt;Rather embarassing really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/08.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afterwards, I was going to the fridge so I could make up some breakfast. I decided to be nice and let Nick stay to eat.&lt;br /&gt;In a whisper she said, &quot;Your cousin is kind of rude.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;K, mmmm yea, maybe not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/09.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cousin huh??! Jeez Tristan, what did you tell the poor girl?&lt;br /&gt;I really wasn&apos;t too happy in the first place, with the baby on the way I wasn&apos;t feeling all that great. But this just topped it off.&lt;br /&gt;I know he told me he&apos;d make up something, anything, but to say you moved in with your cousin? Pretty lame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/10.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/11.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there was only one thing I could do obviously. I needed to get those two out of each other&apos;s lives and the solution to that...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Awww yeeaaa!&lt;br /&gt;&quot;TRISTAN!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! THAT IS SOME INSANELY GROSS INCEST SHIT! EWWW!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/12.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/13.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It really only got funnier, or worse, however you look at it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Hey babe, it&apos;s not what it looks like. I mean she&apos;s not my cousin that is. This wasn&apos;t how I wanted you to find out...&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;FIND OUT WHAT? Oh yea that&apos;s right, that you&apos;re a two-timing, no good for nothing, cheating loser? I do hope that&apos;s what you were going to tell me.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/14.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/15.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She gave Tristan quite a smack. I mean for such a little girl she had a really good backhand! Ouch &amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then she proceeded to give me the death stare. Real scary...&lt;br /&gt;Hello? Like I didn&apos;t start this. She was obviously not the brightest bulb. Catch up hunny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/17.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tristan tried to apologize, he failed miserably.&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Tristan don&apos;t even bother, I don&apos;t want to hear it. You are obviously happy, I just wish you could&apos;ve been that happy with me.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/18.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tristan didn&apos;t get to get a word in before she started to take off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/19.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He pointed to himself and though, &quot;What have I done?? This wasn&apos;t how I wanted it to happen.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;Aww, poor baby, yea well when your ex finds out you&apos;ve been cheating on her there&apos;s really no easy way around it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/20.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/21.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But apparently Tristan wasn&apos;t going to let her leave without him getting some (angry) words in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Hey, I was trying to apologize, the least you could do is hear me out.&lt;br /&gt;I really didn&apos;t want you to find out about Emily and I like this. I was going to tell you, and I realise it&apos;s my fault for not doing it sooner.&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s not that I wasn&apos;t happy with you. But now I realised why I left you, because you always had to have everything your way or no way. I was tired of that and having to do everything for you and yet you still weren&apos;t ever satisfied.&lt;br /&gt;So I found someone great who isn&apos;t like that.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/22.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;So if you want things to end bad like this, that&apos;s fine, I am completely fine with that.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/23.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/24.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They continued to bicker for the next half an hour, or so it seemed like it. Their conversation was very repetitive, and annoying. I wish they would shuttup so I could get her out of my house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/25.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/26.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;You know Tristan, I might have made you do everything for me and I am sorry things had to be my way. But I loved you, was that not enough???&lt;br /&gt;But to lie to both of us? If you truly wanted away from me, you could&apos;ve told me. Do you think I was going to stop you? You&apos;ve always been quite the liar.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/27.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before she left I tried to apologize myself. Of course you don&apos;t actually think I was serious? The look on my face is priceless, like I would actually want to apologize to her. I did it in hopes there&apos;s no retaliation later on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/28.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But of course little miss sunshine just couldn&apos;t make it easy, she had to open her fat mouth. Which ticked me off. So much for atleast pretending to be nice!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/29.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/30.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh goodie, Tristan was going to end this once and for all. They hadn&apos;t officially broken up yet, till now. Why the sad face Nickole? How did you not see this coming oh say about an HOUR ago!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/31.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/32.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;You will never find anyone Nickole, you will die an old woman ALONE.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harsh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/33.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/34.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nickole didn&apos;t seem so angry anymore, more just in shock and upset.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/35.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/36.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;You want me completely out of your life for GOOD, Tristan?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Duh.&lt;br /&gt;Gosh I&apos;m so mean. Bwahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/37.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nickole cried for what seemed eternity. But I guess I can understand. What a day for her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/38.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/39.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally she left, for good (hopefully, or atleast for now). Buh bye Nickole, it was nice meeting you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/40.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tristan just stood in that spot for a while, not saying a word.&lt;br /&gt;I know, I&apos;m so evil and I don&apos;t know why or what came over me. I guess I was just upset that Tristan didn&apos;t tell the poor girl like he said he was going to. Or he could&apos;ve made up a better excuse, and of all the things tell her where I live. Obviously he has no brains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/41.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/42.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/43.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But he came over to me finally after standing there for so long and got down on one knee. OMG! I think I knew what he was going to do. Why else would a man get down on one knee?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/44.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/45.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Emily, I know this is probably the WEIRDEST time to ask you but I was going to anyway before all THAT happened.&lt;br /&gt;Would you marry me?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course! You give me a nice, big ring, I will forever be your best friend! Or wife, I guess that sounds a bit better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/46.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I gave him the biggest hug and whispered in his ear, &quot;Just please don&apos;t dissapoint me anymore..&quot;&lt;br /&gt;I loved this man, he might have made some mistakes so far, but I would hope it would be the last.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/47.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/48.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We talked about toys and family and marriage for a while. We were very excited, things were happening so fast but we didn&apos;t care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/49.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a long day we hit the hay, and it was nice, we both fell asleep right away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/50.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/51.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/52.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next morning I awoke to the worst pains I&apos;ve ever felt.&lt;br /&gt;Was this it?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/53.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/54.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently so! We welcomed our first born child into the world, a son. Ronnie Cook. With my green eyes, daddy&apos;s black hair and a mixture of both our complexions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2003/55.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After I layed Ronnie down I stood there and smiled, I was a mommy. It was such a great feeling. Who knows if anymore would come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess we&apos;ll just have to see. Just how many more...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;previous chapters:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://clevermeal.livejournal.com/2396.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Generation 01, Part 01&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://clevermeal.livejournal.com/2709.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Generation 01, Part 02&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <link>http://clevermeal.livejournal.com/2709.html</link>
  <description>In request of those who are antsy!! :3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/title.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/01.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The day after Tristan just moved in he quickly went on a search for a job. Afterall he wasn&apos;t going to let me pay for everything! Such a thoughtful man &amp;lt;3!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/02.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I shortly headed off to my job, I still had not yet been given a uniform so I went in my nice, clean clothes only to dirty them up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/03.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/04.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tristan was quite the chef and managed to make food by himself. But of course even a monkey could make a PB&amp;J sandwhich!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/05.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/06.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/07.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was nice to have around, while I was gone he would tidy up the place. It was quite generous really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/08.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of the day Tristan liked to take a nice, hot shower. And think. About what of course? I would never know... Atleast not right now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/09.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh right! He was thinking about going to his first night of work! Silly me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/10.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I usually always came home from work before he did. But he always woke me when he would come into bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/11.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With him right by my side I always slept so easily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/12.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was how our mornings were, we&apos;d wake up to see each other and smile. It was a very comforting feeling. Was I truly falling in love with this wonderful man? Or were my eyes deceiving me?&lt;br /&gt;I think it was love...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/13.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 days a week Tristan headed off to his job to fight crime. Well hopefully soon he would, right now he was stuck behind a desk. But atleast it pays well!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/14.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few weeks had passed and my belly had grown! I was almost positive I was expecting a child... But I hadn&apos;t puked yet. Isn&apos;t that what happens when you are going through pregnancy?! Maybe I was just getting fat... I had quite an appetite lately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/16.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/17.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For some reason I had taken up yoga. Not quite like me, but I realised that I haven&apos;t really been myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/19.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/20.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was preparing dinner for Tristan and I. He was going to be home soon from work. But of course my stomach couldn&apos;t wait any longer. I thought about how I would give the news to Tristan. I&apos;m sure he&apos;d be so happy! He always talks about kids and how much he wants to start a family someday. Sure it&apos;s a bit sooner than we&apos;d planned but that was okay. Everything would be okay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/21.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tristan came home and noticed my oversized belly, he asked if I was pregnant. I didn&apos;t even have to tell him, and to my surprise (sorta) he really wasn&apos;t upset. He was trilled! But he suggested to be positive that I go see the doctor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/22.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After returning from the clinic I was pooped so I headed to bed early.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/23.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/24.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tristan made some phone calls, a surprise of some sort? I wasn&apos;t certain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/25.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2002/26.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surprise indeed! The phone call was for a puppy. I guess a present in celebration to us! &lt;br /&gt;I wasn&apos;t only excited about the puppy (it was definitely nice) but I was thinking about how happy I was to have Tristan in my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things could only get better from now on!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or could they????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay tuned (not for long!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;previous chapter:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://floraldesign.livejournal.com/469895.html&quot;&gt;generation 01 part 01&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>The Cook Legacy: Generation 01, Part 01</title>
  <link>http://clevermeal.livejournal.com/2396.html</link>
  <description>Yoooohoooo!&lt;br /&gt;Hi!&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m back and with a new legacy.&lt;br /&gt;Ya ya ya, my computer had to be refomated again and I had to start over.&lt;br /&gt;I really hope to get my downloads burned off (do you realise how much it sucks to have to redownload EVERYTHING all the time?!) and also if anyone knows how to clone/save sims PLEASE TELL ME!!!! Can&apos;t you like upload them somewhere???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways! This one interests me a lot more than my other one, I had even scratched the one before this that I was working on (never posted it though). I can tell this one is going to be full of drama and good stuff! :D &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully you all enjoy it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/title.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/01.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh hi! The name&apos;s Emily, Emily Cook.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m not good at these introduction things...&lt;br /&gt;I guess I can start off by giving a little background about myself.&lt;br /&gt;I used to live in Veronaville with my parents but moved out to go to college.&lt;br /&gt;Where I met my roommate and we decided to move into a trailer. But after a couple years she got married and moved out. I just haven&apos;t found the urge to.&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s not the greatest place, but it&apos;s home.&lt;br /&gt;From time to time I still go to visit my parents, but it&apos;s quite the drive so I only do it once a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/02.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well nice talking to ya, look&apos;s like I got some company!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/03.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/04.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first to introduce himself was a cute looking guy named Tristan Wilson. He befriended me right away and there was nothing I didn&apos;t like about him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/05.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay there was ONE thing... He was apparently married. I couldn&apos;t stop taking my eyes off the ring on his finger. I wonder who the lucky lady is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/06.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/07.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/08.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But did that stop me from flirting with him? NO!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/09.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/10.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A couple hours had passed and he had to go home to return to the wife. But he said we&apos;d definitely keep in touch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/11.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over dinner I was still wondering who was his wife and if I&apos;d ever meet her, or run into her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/13.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I missed him already, but I just couldn&apos;t take my mind off the fact that he was married.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/14.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that didn&apos;t keep him from being in my dreams. And they were pretty exciting dreams if you know what I mean *wink*!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/15.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next morning I sat down in front of the computer to find a job. The only one I found the least bit interesting was the Culinary field. I would have to start out as a fry cook. Hopefully I could make my way up the job ladder and pursue something wonderful. Only time would tell...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/16.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/17.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right after, I phoned up Tristan to see what he was up to. I couldn&apos;t help myself! I know it had only been a day but I was falling for him. It wasn&apos;t like me at all. All through college I found guys revolting and had no interest but my studies.&lt;br /&gt;But Tristan was different and he was certainly very good lucking for sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/18.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He came over after a little while, at first things were a little ackward. Even though nothing had happened yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/19.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/20.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It didn&apos;t take long for anything to happen. After standing around talking for a while we confessed our like for each other and how much we had wanted to kiss each other the day before. So that&apos;s exactly what we did. Lots of it too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/21.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We ended up cuddling on my bed and talked all day till the sun went down and he had to head home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/22.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/23.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had another good night&apos;s rest. Awoke the next morning all groggy and wondered if yesterday actually happened. Did Tristan and I really kiss?? Or did I imagine that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/24.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He came over again and I brought up the kiss. It seemed to anger him..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/25.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Look Emily, I really like you but I am a &lt;u&gt;married&lt;/u&gt; man. I love my wife.....&quot;&lt;br /&gt;He didn&apos;t sound so sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/26.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Maybe we can just be friends??&quot;&lt;br /&gt;Why was he asking me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/27.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It didn&apos;t last long that&apos;s for sure. We ended up in each other&apos;s arms and we didn&apos;t mind at all. Tristan might be married but he obviously didn&apos;t love his wife as much as he let on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/28.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had him wrapped around my little fingers and I was loving every minute of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/29.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/30.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before he was going to leave I proposed he moved in, but he quickly declined. He told me he would need some more time, if he was going to leave his wife.&lt;br /&gt;I was heartbroken but I understood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/31.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went and returned from my first day of work. It was only training so it wasn&apos;t so bad, but I had a feeling it wouldn&apos;t be the greatest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/32.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I called Tristan but his wife picked up first, I asked if he was there and she said he was out and didn&apos;t know when he would return.&lt;br /&gt;I had really wanted to see him, but I guess I could head to bed and get some rest before I had to go back to work in the morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/33.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/34.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the next morning I called him again and this time he answered! I told him that I didn&apos;t have much time before work but that I wanted to see him anyways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/35.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/36.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While he waited for me to greet him he seemed to be having second thoughts and had his mind on his marriage. But my greeting quickly took those thoughts away!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/37.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went to my bed and did some cuddling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/38.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently cuddling leads to woohoo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/39.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was good, we both thought so as we smiled back at each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/40.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/41.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yep... Reeeealllyyy good *wink*!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/42.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/the%20cook%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2001/43.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tristan must have felt the same way because when I asked him to move in this time he happily said yes. He didn&apos;t care about his wife and what she would say. He told me he would just try and make up something, anything just so he could hurry up and be with me.&lt;br /&gt;What a great way to start the morning! And the day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till the next time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got a little far and carried away so expect to see an update every day for a little bit... Sorry! :-P</description>

  <description>Hey guys! Long time no update, eh?! Sorry I&apos;ve fallen behind so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Starr Legacy is no more, my computer died on me again and so I lost everything of course. I might start up a new one though soon, since I&apos;ve gotten the new EP Pets ever since it came out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just haven&apos;t had the time to download stuff or anything and I can&apos;t play without my precious downloads! Lol. But expect a new legacy coming up within the next few weeks ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for everyone who has kept me added and such.</description>

  <link>http://clevermeal.livejournal.com/1894.html</link>
  <description>Sooo It&apos;s been quite a while since I last posted, I posted up to the most recent in my regular journal though.. Which I haven&apos;t updated the legacy in that for a while either... Anyways, I suggest you can either read this and then back track to the last episode, or whatever. I&apos;m not going to bother with what happened in the last episode... So yea, anyways moving on!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/title.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stuart and I were having our wedding, finally! Most of our friends that we invited were able to make it, which was so great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/2.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/3.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/4.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had set up the wedding myself, even the food. Okay, okay, I had a LITTLE help. But I liked taking all the credit for myself, haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/5.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone started the toasts early, it was so nice of them. They all had such kind words to say, and wished Stuart and I a happy life together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/6.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/7.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stuart and I went to exchange our vows and rings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/8.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/9.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then we exchanged some kisses too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/10.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I couldn&apos;t be any more happier, it was so amazing this day had finally come!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/11.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/12.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the vows and such people were more than too eager to head back to the drinks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/13.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/14.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few hours later a gorgeous black limo had arrived and we departed to go celebrate our honeymoon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/15.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/16.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had arrived home and it felt unfortunate because the honeymoon was so amazingly awesome and we wished it didn&apos;t have to end..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/17.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/18.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/19.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That night while I was cleaning around the house it was finally happening! I felt the contractions and pain shoot through my stomach. I am most certain it&apos;s not a false alarm!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/20.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/21.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/22.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or was it?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/23.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/24.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guess not!! Stuart and I welcomed our first daughter into the world :D (stupid me I forgot her name &amp;gt;.&amp;gt; it&apos;s been that long since I&apos;ve played, so just bear with me)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/25.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2009/26.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I handed her over to Stuart, and looking at him holding our first child was so beautiful. I knew he&apos;d make the perfect daddy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;missed any earlier episodes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/409052.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;Generation 01 Part 01&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/409327.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;Generation 01 Part 02&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/410123.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;Generation 01 Part 03&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/411937.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;Generation 01 Part 04&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/413857.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;Generation 01 Part 05&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/414976.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;Generation 01 Part 06&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/415810.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;Generation 01 Part 07&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/416480.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;Generation 01 Part 08&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>The Starr Legacy: Generation 01, Part 06</title>
  <link>http://clevermeal.livejournal.com/1632.html</link>
  <description>From where we &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/413857.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;last left off&lt;/a&gt;, Lydia had asked Stuart one last time if he would move in and this time he agreed! So to celebrate they decided to have some woohoo. Lydia had declared that she was going to become a stay-at-home wife because she kept failingto find a good job in the classifieds. But when she had thrown up and she knew it was due to the fact her and Stuart had unprotected woohoo she knew stay-at-home wife was going to be stay-at-home mother...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/title.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was fun having Stuart move in and live with me. I thoroughly enjoyed the company, though I had yet to tell him the &quot;news&quot; about my pregnancy. Which I went to the doctor the next day after I threw up and they confirmed it for me... I don&apos;t know what he&apos;ll think when I DO tell him... But anyways, Stuart could sense something and took me out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/2.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ooo! My friends had been telling me about getting a cellphone, they were all the rage I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/3.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I joined the crowd and got one myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/4.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stuart did too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/5.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/6.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We decided to take some more photobooth pictures, they&apos;re fun.  And this time they seemed to have more of a meaning then before when we were just friends hanging out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/8.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/7.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Awww, we are too cute!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/9.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I followed Stuart to where we were going to sit and eat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/10.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/11.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stuart seemed to have different plans than eating! HE WAS PROPOSING TO ME? WHAAAA?! I just couldn&apos;t believe it, we hadn&apos;t even been living together for that long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/12.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I could do was stare and be in shock, it was too much for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/13.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/14.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what do you think I said? Yes, of course! How could I not, this man was everything to me and the only thing I had. Well beside the new life growing inside me. I also whispered to him about that and he whispered back that he was so happy and didn&apos;t care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/15.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look who it is again? That creepy vampire, whatever he is dude. He was becoming a bit stalkerish don&apos;t you think? -__-&lt;br /&gt;I was wondering what the hell he was doing, some weird voodoo shit? I have no clue, but soon I became tired...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/16.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then this weird overwhelming feeling inside came over me! It was so strange, I felt like I had no control over myself anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/17.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/18.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then he bit me! What is going on??? But for the even weirdest reason I seemed to enjoy it, and I had no clue why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/19.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had become one of him!! A vampire, it was kinda cool I suppose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/20.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I was still pissed so I whipped out my lightsaber.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/21.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/22.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/23.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That taught him something, don&apos;t f**k with me! Or don&apos;t f**k with another vampire biotch!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/24.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being the cruel person I am I couldn&apos;t help but watch and laugh nearby while everyone else mourned. Bah, who the bloody hell cares?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/25.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/26.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/27.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After having dinner and Stuart pissed off at what happened we had called it an early night and came home. But the light was too much for me and I was slowly drifting away...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/28.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the Grim came Stuart got on his hands and knees and started begging and crying like a little baby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/29.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/30.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Grim told Stuart the deal, if he choose the right hand then he would set my soul free and I could come back. BETTER DO IT RIGHT STUART!! Or you&apos;ll be the first I&apos;m coming after :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/31.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/32.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stuart ended up pulling through! W00t baby, w00t! Though Grim wasn&apos;t too happy, oh well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/33.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So he brought me back like he had promised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/34.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was ecstatic of course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/35.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stuart hugged me hard and held me close not wanting to let go, he told me over and over how much he loved me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2006/36.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ditto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;missed any earlier episodes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/409052.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;Generation 01 Part 01&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/409327.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;Generation 01 Part 02&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/410123.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;Generation 01 Part 03&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/411937.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;Generation 01 Part 04&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/413857.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;Generation 01 Part 05&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <description>Where we &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/411937.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;last left off&lt;/a&gt; Lydia had agreed to go on a date with Stuart which didn&apos;t turn out as bad as she was expecting. She had found out that he had the same feelings for her as she did for him but just wasn&apos;t sure how to tell her, he was shy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/title.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/1.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/2.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I woke up still tired even though I just slept for 10 hours. Insane... Last night felt like a dream, that strange creature, I wonder who he was. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/3.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, after many hours of cleaning the house and doing some errands I finally made some dinner. Mmm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/4.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After I just finished eating Stuart decided to drop by and apologized that he left me hanging for a while last night. He felt terrible. Good :) I forgave him and had decided to ask him to move in once more and this time he accepted!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/5.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To celebrate we went and cuddled on my bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/6.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I made a simple suggestion...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/7.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/8.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/9.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/10.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess his answer to that suggestion was a yes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/11.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/12.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And to even more celebrations Stuart decided to make us breakfast the next morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/13.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was still on the hunt for a job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/14.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/15.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even looked in the newspaper! Which I never touch... I hate newspaper, but the paper boy insists on delivering them every morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/16.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over some lunch I decided screw getting a job, I&apos;ll just be a stay-at-home wife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/17.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ugh, I hate throwing up.. I hate cleaning it up more though. I don&apos;t recall being sick but then again Stuart and I did have unprotected woohoo.. Great, so make that a stay-at-home mother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/18.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried to relax and watch some tv...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/19.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2005/20.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I was still naesous and had a huge headache so I decided to pass out instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since this one was so short I&apos;m going to post the next episode tonight. Hope that&apos;s okay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You&apos;ll notice I&apos;m terrible at the teaser photos.. I&apos;ve seen some of you guys do great work with them and I&apos;d like any tips you can give! I use Photoshop 7 and I really like the whole gradient and funky shit.

  <title>Generation 01 Part 04</title>
  <link>http://clevermeal.livejournal.com/1044.html</link>
  <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/410123.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;Last&lt;/a&gt; where we left off Lydia had been going through some rough times with Stuart being a little dirtbag so to get her mind off things she decided to ask Gilbert on a date. And she ended up having quite a good time, more than she thought she would. But she had come home to a phone call from Mr. Insensitive himself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/title.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I am such a loser and a sucker. Why did I even agree to this? Does he have some plan to hurt me some more?&quot; I mumbled to myself. That phone call the other day with Stuart led me to this, he asked me on a date and I said YES.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/2.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yep. I&apos;m crazy. We took a taxi to the bowling alley together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/3.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/4.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/5.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wasn&apos;t as bad as I thought!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/6.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/7.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/8.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently neither was Stuart, I found out he used to be in bowling leagues. Awww, what a nerd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/9.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After bowling a few rounds and Stuart winning by only a few points we decided to grab something to eat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/10.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/11.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/12.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/13.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As usual I never knew what to order or what I really wanted so I asked Stuart what he was getting and he said he was getting some ribs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/14.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/15.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ended up getting the same thing... Though I wasn&apos;t a big fan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/16.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/17.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/18.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After we had ate we ended up talking for a few hours and Stuart had told me how much he cared for me and that he didn&apos;t try to come off as a jerk. That he was just so nervous and never had any girls have feelings for him like I was. Aww, it touched me. So I forgave him (hopefully it was not the wrong thing to do).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/19.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/20.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we sorta kissed and made up, if there was anything to call it I suppose *shrugs*.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/21.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I decided to play some rounds of pool, Stuart said he was going to be a minute and would soon join me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/22.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/23.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And where was he? Oh yea, that&apos;s right. Drinking. At the bar, dumba**.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/24.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and talking to some ugly chick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/25.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/26.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wasn&apos;t too mad, I figured he was &quot;thirsty&quot; and I&apos;d give him the excuse. I JUST WANT A FAMILY FOR HEAVEN&apos;S SAKE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/27.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/28.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was getting a little late and I was getting a little tired. So I decided to phone the taxi to take me home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/29.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/30.jpg&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/31.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was patiently waiting a cloaked creature had crept up to me and scared the sh*t outta me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/gratified/sims%20legacy/the%20starr%20legacy/generation%2001%20part%2004/32.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mmmm! What a fun filled night :*( All I could do was cry, cover my eyes and hope he&apos;d dissapear. And that the taxi would hurry up already!!! &amp;gt;:O&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yep a short one, sorry. So I might have time to get the next episode up tonight. I&apos;m letting you all know now that this legacy is gonna be a long one and I hope that you will all continue to read and enjoy! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;previous episodes: &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/409052.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;generation 01 part 01&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/409327.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;generation 01 part 02&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/legacychallenge/410123.html&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;generation 01 part 03&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <description>hey guys. thanks for those who added me, it&apos;s  nice to know that there&apos;s people who actually read my legacies and enjoy them as much as i do :)&lt;br /&gt;well anyways, i&apos;ll most likely have a new update tonight. i suggest if you haven&apos;t read the earlier episodes you can go &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=floraldesign&amp;amp;keyword=The+Starr+Legacy&amp;amp;filter=all&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; they&apos;re all there in chronological order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i also thought about making this friends only but i don&apos;t really care. &lt;b&gt;i still want people to add me&lt;/b&gt; anyways in case there might be an off chance i will have a friends only (i have the tendency because it&apos;s an automatic habit for me).</description>
