http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/ DeCray Legacy Part 14 Since her beloved mother passed away, Ruby made a vow to look after Carmen's treasured garden. She found that it also soothed the pain of grief that she still felt. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805728 52805728 She also made sure that her sons got out and enjoyed themselves whilst giving her newly widowed father some quiet time. Robbie composed a song and dedicated it to Carmen. He was becoming quite the accomplished guitarist. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805729 52805729 Meanwhile at Dante & Savannah's house, the not-so-young parents were celebrating their double 40th birthdays. They were cheered on by daughter Rhonda and son Galen. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805730 52805730 Later that day Rhonda was visited by her good friend Quentin Ursine. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805731 52805731 The childood friends had recently started to see each other in a whole other night. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805732 52805732 They were soon sharing their very first kiss together and this would change their relationship forever. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805733 52805733 And after begging Dad and Mum for permission, Rhonda was able to ask Quentin to sleep over. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805734 52805734 With the kids in bed, Dante and Savannah reminisced about when they first fell in love as teenagers "Do you remember how enchanting it was?" "Yes I do - I couldn't think of anything else but you honey" http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805735 52805735 The next morning at breakfast Dante played his role as father. "Now I know you kids are going through some changes, just remember to be careful okay?" Rhonda was mortified "Dad! Oh my god seriously, we don't need to here that." Dante smiled "Just looking out for you darling." http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805736 52805736 Dante needn't have worried though as Rhonda was still a good girl who loved to babysit her brother Galen. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805737 52805737 Over at Cat DeCray's new home, she was trying to form a new family with baby son Kip and her step-daughters Faith and Bernice. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805738 52805738 At first Bernice seemed to be the perfect half-sister to little Kip... http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805739 52805739 ...but when no one was looking she stole candy from Kip and taunted him by eating it in front of him! http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805740 52805740 Luckily kind hearted half-sister Faith was on hand to save the day. For years she had been clearing up the mess made by her evil sister http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805741 52805741 Bernice seemed to have completely forgotten about her nastiness and was soon running in the garage dressed in her formalwear! There was definitely something not quite right about this girl. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805742 52805742 Faith however gave up a lot of her freetime to look after Kip whilst his Mum Cat worked. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805743 52805743 Time seemed to be marching on since Carmen's passing. At Samantha and Schaffer's house their daughter Delia had started school and she loved to chat to her Mum & Dad about her day. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805744 52805744 Samantha was a very conscientious mother however, even after a long day at the office she made time to help Delia with her homework. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805745 52805745 But as soon as Delia was tucked up in bed Samantha switched to wife mode and made time for her sexy musician husband. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805746 52805746 They both REALLY loved the er...view... from their bedroom. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805747 52805747 It was no surprise when Samantha found herself pregnant for the second time. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805748 52805748 However she didn't let her condition stop her from lobbying the local council about releasing a criminal too early. She was far from alone too, the familiar faces of sister-in-law Dara Andrews, Nephew George DeCray, good friend Malika Williams and Dad Laurent. It seemed retired politician Laurent still had some fire in his belly for local issues! http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805749 52805749 Hubby Schaffer was also there to support them in his own way by rasing money for the cause by playing his guitar. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805750 52805750 Sister Sherri and her daughter Desiree happened to be in the park that day too. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805751 52805751 Sherri wasn't there for the protest however - she was teaching Desiree to fish. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805752 52805752 When the protest finished, Dara joined her partner and daughter for lunch in the park. Sherri admired Dara's zeal "I'm proud of you sweetie. A lot of politicians are corrupt - I should know I see it all working at city hall!" http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805753 52805753 Later Cat arrived with her mixed-up family to celebrate little Kip's 5th Birthday. Desiree and Kip seemed to get on quite well. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805754 52805754 As the sun began to set Kip dropped in on his cousin Janice Steel who he grew up with. She had also turned 5 now and was pleased to see his familiar face. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805755 52805755 Janice's older brother Elias was indoors cozying up to his childhood friend Rhonda Riggins. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805756 52805756 Rhonda Riggins had a tough time at school where she was picked on for being a clumsy loser. But Elias adored her. And her made her feel so much better when he told her so. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805757 52805757 She rewarded him by sharing her first awkward kiss with him. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805758 52805758 Elias and Janice's Dad, Francesco Steel, had recently been promoted to Surgical Intern This meant he was working a lot of extra hours and was rarely home. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805759 52805759 However their Investigative Reporter Mum Ciara made sure she made up for her hubby's absence by spending time gaming with her quickly growing children. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805760 52805760 But she never forgot her family or her work. And when a chance came to combine the two by visiting Sister Samantha and her hubby Schaffer she jumped at it! http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805761 52805761 You see Samantha had just given birth to her son Lewis Smith. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805762 52805762 And Scaffer was promoting a new band who were becoming loved by teenagers all over Sunset Valley. So Ciara got to meet her new nephew and get the gossip on the band! http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805763 52805763 Meanwhile Ciara's daughter Janice had taken her little cousin Galen DeCray under her wing for his first day at school. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805764 52805764 And after school all the grandkids payed a visit to Grandad Laurent letting him feel surrounded by love in his widowerhood. Elias was particularly keen to talk to him about tips with the ladies whilst cousin George studied. http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805765 52805765 Time it seems had to move on despite the noteable passing of founder Carmen. Above is how the extended family currently stands in terms of blood ties. Partners and step children are not accounted for but are not forgotten. Stay tuned for more! http://www.sims3adventure.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=52805727 52805727
