January 2030 - Paradise City, Nevada
Craig family - Andrea is 23, Lucas is 22, Elliott is 3
How was your day?” Andrea asks.
Lucas is working on some top secret studies at work these days. He really wants to tell Andrea all about them, but he has to keep quiet about it all. “It was good,” he says. “Really busy, but that’s okay.”
“How was yours?” he asks.
Andrea sighs. “Busy too. I had two auditions, one right after the other. I don’t know if I even have a chance at getting them.”
“You will,” he assures her.
Elliott comes into the room, calling out for his mommy. Andrea smiles toward Lucas and pushes back her chair. “My most important job is calling me in to work.”

Andrea is staying busy with her acting career. She’s moving forward more and more each day, grabbing up as many jobs as she can.
It's a fun experience even if some days are a lot of work. Sometimes she stays at the studio all day working on a new commercial.
But it means her face will be on TV and that's what is most important in this career right now. So she'll deal with what opportunities she gets.
Even if they require her to dress in outfits she’s not really thrilled to wear.

Andrea wakes up one morning not feeling well. She tries to eat breakfast, but even that doesn’t solve her issues.
She thinks about this feeling in her stomach and the things she and Lucas have talked about recently. Could it really be?
Lucas and Andrea hire a trusted baby-sitter for Elliott and they head out for a quick dinner one night.
Lucas recently came across a strange radio signal from space at work, and he wants to tell Andrea about it. But he continues to stay quiet, only talking about the ordinary parts of work days.
As they’re getting ready to head back home, Andrea stops and turns to her husband. “Lucas,” she says, “I have something I really need to tell you.”
She grabs his hands. “We’ll be adding to our family soon. I’m pregnant.”
She wasn’t sure how he would respond. They’d had Elliott so unexpectedly and early in their adult lives.
But Lucas’s eyes brighten and he smiles wide at her. “We’ll have another son or maybe a daughter? I’m excited to hear that! Elliott will have someone to play with and grow up with!”
Andrea smiles at him, relieved by his reaction. “I’m glad you’re happy. I am too. Just imagine what it’s like to have two kids running around our house!”
Having another baby in their house will be a change, but something Andrea is looking forward to.
Elliott is growing more and more every day and it will be a busy change to have a baby again, and someone Elliott can grow up with.
And someone else that Lucas can dance with.

The whim to try for a baby came up for Andrea. I had been thinking about whether these two should have another baby and so she made up my mind for me. :)
It's been so long since any of my sims have rolled a whim to Try for a Baby. I used the get those whims fairly regularly but after one of the updates, they seemed to stop completely. I'm glad they're still rolling up for you - it's always nice when the sims themselves want to expand their families!
ReplyDeleteSome of mine are still rolling it. And to some of them I defiantly say, Nope, you're not doing that! ;) I don't mind if some have another one, like these two, but others are just NOT allowed to have more because they aren't really interested in actual parenting and so I won't listen to their whims no matter how many times they come up, lol.
