Chapter 5: And Then There was 7

Life has gotten a little crazy in the Taylor household. Maggie started school, Jackson is now a toddler getting into everything and they just found out Evelyn is pregnant again. Vj has gotten a few raises so they have been able to do a little remodeling to their home. They have added an upstairs and so far it includes a bedroom and a bathroom.  When they have more money Vj has big plans of expanding their upstairs he overheard Evelyn talking to one of girlfriends on how she would really like a laundry room. He thinks, when they have enough money he will put one of those in for her.

One day Evelyn was going over their bills and budgets and decided that they could afford a made if they cut back on certain stuff like repairing stuff themselves. She told Vj it is just to hard on me to take care of the kids, myself and keep the house clean so they agreed and called the maid service right away.  

Months went by and finally Evelyn went into labor they went through the usual. Vj freaked out while Evelyn was getting ready to leave for the hospital. Weren't they surprised when out came not one, not two but three baby girls. Vj passed out from excitement and being exhausted.  So now they are a house of 7 with their 3 new baby girls, Rachel, Raegan and Rosalie.  Evelyn thought to herself, "I think we are done with having kids."   Having a big family is all she ever wanted now all Evelyn wants to do is get home but all 3 new baby girls to sleep and hit the bed herself.

 Rachel
 Raegan
Rosalie

Oh and I forgot to mention Rachel and Rosalie have the vampire traits. Evelyn isn't quite sure what to make of that but she is pretty sure it is going to make her job of raising them a little bit more interesting and a heck of a lot harder. She figures if she can give birth to five children raising two vampires can't be that hard or can it??

Chapter 4:Growing up with Kids all Around

Life has been a little crazy for the Taylor Family.  Evelyn has given birth to their first child Maggie, and then not shortly after Jackson came along.  Evelyn being a family oriented sim is delighted about the starting of their family and the life they are making together. 



Now they only need 3 more children to fulfill Evelyn's lifetime wish. Seeing how easy it is to get her pregnant I don't think it will be a problem.  Now she's been on and off of maternity leave and hasn't been able to to much with her job however she did master the guitar and she was extremely proud of that.  Vj is loving his ghost busting job and has been promoted twice and its looking like he has finally found his groove.  They have been taking turn taking care of the children since they can not afford a nanny just a babysitter every now and then.  They have slowly been doing better money wise but having 2 children to take care of isn't cheap.  Luckily, Evelyn gets money for being on maternity leave or it would be really hard to try and live comfortable.  Vj thinks shes a little bit crazy for wanting 3 more children but he feels like if that is what will make her happy he will help trying. 



Evelyn and Vj have been working hard on getting little Maggie to talk, walk and be potty trained and its finally paid off. She has even masters the xyloophone.  Before you know it she will be in school but until that time they are enjoying every minute they get to spend with her.



Now little Maggie isn't alone she has a little brother Jackson.  She can't wait until he is a little bit bigger and they can play together. Until then she keeps playing with her toys until he is old enough to play too. 


Chapter 3: Who needs a job!

Well Vj was getting a lot of bad reviews in his current job as a professional arcitect.  Clearly he wasn't meant to design houses. Only about 2 of his customers were actually satisfied with his work so he decided to quit it before it got worse and look for better opportunities that were out there. He got a newspaper and searched the local jobs there wasn't much to choose from other then a stylist, cook and ghost hunter. He tried picturing himself as a cook and a stylist and shook his head he couldn't do those things.  So he called the number for the ghost hunter and asked for some information. After he talked with them about the job it sounded awesome.  Pretty much people will pay him to go into their houses dressed up like a ghostbuster and get these spirits! He thinks to himself, "Damn I bet I'll be good at this."




Well after his first day on the job he was hooked. It really was awesome he did 2 houses and got all 10 of the ghost and each client was satisfied with the work he did. He is really starting to feel good about this choice he made and really hopes it will pay off financially. On the downside he is completely wore out.

New Beginnings..

Its been a few months since Vj and Evelyn were married and are enjoying life. Vj just got a job offer too good to resist. Vj is really enjoying being an architect even if not all his clients like his work. He feels like all that matters is that most of them like it and he can approve on his skill. He has done a few jobs and it is really helping on their income.   


After one night Evelyn started to feel very sick. She thought surely I can't be catching the flu it must be something else I am super healthy. So she thinks well maybe I am pregnant and runs to the drug store and gets a pregnancy test. Sure enough she finds out its true. Not so sure what Vj's reaction is going to be she is a little nervous when she goes to tell him. 

Their having a baby and everyone is excited.  They both wonder will it be a girl or a boy?? Twins or triplets?? Evelyn gets a notice from work that she gets a few days off during the pregnancy so she works on her guitar skill she really would like to master it so she could move on mastering the piano. A few days and some hideous maternity clothes go buy and they get anxious.
Vj feels that they don't have enough money to purchase everything they need for the baby so he goes on a scavenger hunt.  He goes and collects rocks, bugs, gems, and more rocks and bugs.  It pays off pretty well he got a few thousand out of it and is feeling pretty stoked about it. He thinks who knew all this crap would bring in so much moola. 



Suddenly, Evelyn goes into labor and they both start freaking out because they haven't even bought baby furniture yet. While Evelyn goes into labor Vj starts freaking out. Evelyn decides to go to the hospital and after a few minutes Vj follows..

Chapter 2:Love is all a Girl Needs

If Evelyn had a diary this is what it would say: "Dear Diary, I've met the guy of my dreams.  He's not perfect by far but boy is he fun.  We hung out quite a bit over a few days and decided to make it official. We are going steady. I couldn't be happier."

Well, Vj asked her to be her boyfriend and after a few months of being boyfriend and girlfriend. She decided why not make it official?? So she does the opposite of traditional and she gets down on one knee with a ring and proposes.





Believe it or not he feels the same way and says yes. She is so excited that she can barely contain herself. Over the next few days Evelyn struggles whether she wants a big fancy wedding or something low key.  She would really like to at least have some sort of party where their friends and family can be there to experience their big day.  Unfortunately, neither one of them have a whole lot of money and weddings can get quite pricey. They talk it over and decide to do a private wedding at home. Hell, they don't even get dressed up for it. Evelyn decided it was better that way no since in faking a big fancy wedding when they couldn't afford the big fancy dress she saw in a window shop. They exchange rings and become husband and wife. He decides to take on her family name because it is really important to her and he isn't very close with his family anyways.





Well after the short ceremony they talk it over and decide it would be best if he moved in her home even though it isn't very big it would surely pay off in the long run. Vj says, you have way more land then we really know what to do with so if we have children later on there would always be a place for them. So he gets his belongings and his money and moves in.

Evelyn feels like she is rich in heart and  money. They now are married and starting a future with each other. The combined income of the two surely do help now. 




Evelyn was truly the happiest now. She was all smiles when she went to work. When she got there after telling the good news to her fellow musicians she got some more good news. A raise, 519 a day!! Then she finds out she has to do her first performance and gets a little nervous.  Thinking of her hubby at home she conquers her little bit of stage fright and sings her heart out to the crowd.  Well she sung with the other back up singers but her time is coming at least she is up on stage performing for a crowd of people.

Chapter 1:All is Good in Love and Work

Life is looking really good. Evelyn has been promoted again in the industry. She is now a lyricist in the rock world. Oh and I forgot to mention she is a celebrity which happened over night it seems like. She doesn't really care about the fame she just wants to do better in life and if that will help her along the way she is ok with that. She is also, able to but new things for her home. She even has a security system now. Her house might be small but maybe just maybe she can keep burglars out now! 

 Evelyn has been working on her social life trying to meet a nice guy to settle down with. So far every cute guy she sees is already in a relationship. Which is a downer, but good thing tomorrow is her birthday! Of course, she has to work so she can not have a party but that doesn't mean you can't have cake.






After a quick celebration she gets ready for work. Another day another dollar she thinks. With that extra dollar she was able to for a portable piano. She is really looking foward to having a few days off she would really like to meet someone she feels like she needs that special someone to complete her life.

Along comes VJ, finally a none attached sim. Evelyn is really excited but doesn't want to get her hopes up in case things do not go her way.  Luckily things are going well with them. They have slowly been getting to know each other. She's learned hes ambitious and a snob. And has been laid off from his present job and is currently unemployed. After talking on the phone night after night she decides to  invite him over to hang out.




After watching some tv she decides he could be boyfriend potential and decides to make a move. She hopes so. She thinks he is super cute, and funny.




It worked he feels the same way. They flirt, talk, flirt some more, talk and then they kiss. He asks to be her boyfriend. She says yes of course, and is feeling really good about her life. She wonders what will happen from here??? I guess she will just have to wait until the next chapter of her life unfolds..

Stick around to see what happens..

Evelyn Taylor

Evelyn Taylor has big dreams, but for now she is new to the town of Sunset Valley and wants to just survive with very little money.  She first came to town and purchased a brand new very large lot because one day she won't be poor but until then she makes due with what she has. What she has is a box with a toilet, sink, shower and bed. What a lifestyle, Right??







Well Evelyn was able to find a job in her dream field in the music industry. She starts out at the bottom but is positive she can move her way up in the company.

  After her first long day she is wore out and ready for bed. And she dreams of buying a guitar to improve her skills.






Getting a little down in the dumps Evelyn worries over finances since she can't afford simple things like refrigerators, stoves, sofas, etc. She has to go to the park where they have picnic areas setup so she can eat. She does this everyday because what else is she going to do?? While at the picnic areas she finds some seeds and thinks maybe I can plant a garden and get food that way. Her mood improves slightly.




Evelyn hurries home to start her garden. After a few days she gets a little bit of money and is able to buy the guitar she has been wanting. She plays in the park and actually earns a little bit of extra cash. The following day with her spirits high she heads to work. At the end of the day she received a promotion. She  is so excited that her dreams are slowly coming true. 




After a few days, Evelyn gets a few promotions and things are slowly looking up. She is earning more money and can afford the finer things like, a bigger place oh and a couch and tv. Her guitar skill is getting really good and she is making pretty decent tip money on the side. 



Now that she is working her way up in the music industry. Evelyn decides its time to try to find a nice guy and go out on a few dates and see where it leads up..She has big dreams of having a big family to share this property she purchased with, but until then she is feeling the need to mingle.
