3.117 The other shoe

We started the night at a bar in a fancy rooftop hotel in San Myshuno. Sophia and I didn't bother dressing up because our only goal was to meet the man that had my sister all googly-eyed, and that didn't involve nice clothes. Jace Laurent was his name. He was from Tartosa and frequented the bar where we had the party. His fancy job title didn't fool me once he explained the role. He said he was a nano-simfluencer for a company called Trend Team. Apparently, he was heavily into fashion and was seeking the attention of brands on social media so he could score an endorsement deal. Basically, he was unemployed. True, I was technically unemployed too, but at least I left home and come back with money like normal working sims.

But after a while, I had to admit he wasn't as much of a schmuck as I thought he'd be. He was definitely weird, but seemed like he'd be kinda fun to hang out with once we got to know each other better.

"Would you stop grilling him??" Alessia shouted.

"I'm not grilling! I'm just trying to get to know him. Isn't that what you want?"

"Yeah, but stop with the 20 Questions!"

"How else am I supposed to get to know him, Less??"

Like, seriously! What was up with her? First she yelled at Sophia on Winterfest for trying to stay in the conversation and get to know her, and now this? I hoped ol' dude was up to handle her moods because if I couldn't win with her, no one could.

"Don't mind her," Jace said. "She's just a little pregnant."

"I'm sorry...WHAT?!"

His proud, smug face melted into discomfort and mortification.

"Oh no...she didn't tell you."

"We're in love, Luca," Alessia shouted. "I asked him to move in."

So many questions buzzed around my brain like a swarm of bees, but the frustration flowing through my veins was stronger than the urge to get answers. I was so done with this seemingly endless stream of accidental pregnancies around me! The mere thought of another person turning up pregnant ignited a fiery anger within me so intense I could almost taste it. Okay…I wouldn't actually resort to violence, but the urge to lash out, to release my pent-up frustration, was as real as all these unborn babies in my life.

"We have to go," I said, getting up from the table.

Alessia yelled after us, questioning our abrupt departure, but I didn't care. My only goal was to seek shelter in the safety of my home because the fortress I built around my emotions had finally been breached. Falling apart was imminent now. As soon as I crossed the threshold, the pressure that had been building up all week erupted from my mouth as I hollered. I never felt so out of control before. I paced, tugged on my hair, and screamed some more. Sophia stood off to the side for a moment, watching, allowing me to get it out, but then she marched up to me and embraced me tightly as if she were trying to squeeze hope back into me. We collapsed onto the couch and cried together. I probably should have waited to tell her about my hospital visit, but how much more could it hurt? We were already at the bottom.

"Sophia," I said through my tears, "I gotta tell you something."

She sat up to hear my story and wiped my face.

"I went to the doctor. That's where I was earlier... I have low fertility too. I'm so sorry!"

To my surprise, she didn't sink deeper into despair, like I thought she would. She held my hand and showed me the most incredible display of bravery I had ever seen.

"Awwwww, Luca! Are you okay? This isn't your fault. It's no one's fault. It just...is."

I knew she was right, but life really sucked at the moment, and I didn't know how to withstand against all those blows anymore. I thought I was strong enough, but now my wife had to hold me up.

"It's just not fair," I yelled. "Alessia, Yasmine...and even Dub! None of them were trying to get pregnant! Why won't it happen for us? I feel like we're being punished for something, but I don't know what it is! I just want to start a family with you. What's so bad about that?? I've done everything to stay positive and hopeful, but I can't do it anymore! I can't do it, Sophia!"

She wiped my tears and tried to soothe me, telling me it was going to be okay, just like I did for her at the beginning of all this.

"Hey...listen...we can't give up yet, babe. We've got one more trick up our sleeve! How about tomorrow I do the IVF? Forget those treatments!"

"Are you sure? That's surgery."

"It's outpatient. This is my last chance to carry my own child. I have to take it."

"Okay. But only if you want to. I'm fine with adoption if you change your mind, but...I really hope it works."

"Me too."

Oh hey look, it’s another family I’ve never played before! Impressions: Arnessa: She looks like that grandma that keeps her furniture covered in plastic but is apparently down for pranking her son and daughter-in-law with her grandkids, which is a kinda fun contradiction. Apparently also related to the fabled Princess Cordelia? Crazy. Hector: Just a happy go lucky dad who likes fruity alcoholic beverages, his family, and hats. Idk. I gave him a more substantial dad bod and more idgaf facial hair. Hilary: Another fine middle-aged lady who is aging beautifully. I imagine she does spin-classes with her mother-in-law and her daughter and likes teaching her son to dance. Loves the color red and always has her nails done. Greta: Oh look, it’s a gloomy teen! SHOCKER. Since she also loves the outdoors, I gave her more of a tomboyish vibe, except with hands down the best hair in the family. The only thing that brings a smile to this moody teen’s face is pranking her parents with her brother and grandma. Jace: Hey, and it’s a cheerful child? Bonkers! I kinda dig his style, lord knows Maxis wasn’t doing him any favors on that front. Dressing up cute chubby kids should be taken a bit more seriously than this. ANYWAYS he likes dancing and pranks.

Pancakes Family Rotation 4:

After school, it was time for Aldo Pancakes's wedding. He walked down the aisle, and so did Greta, with the accompaniment of her father. All the family in the crowd were so emotional as the couple approached the gazebo.

The couple shyly approached each other at the wedding arch. They giggled awkwardly through their vows, and Greta stared lovingly at Aldo. She was glad to be able to have the ceremony right next to her beloved grandmother's resting spot. She felt her presence blessing them.

The couple exchanged rings, and Aldo pulled her into a romantic dip for their first kiss. They celebrated with family all night, and had a private "last dance" together in the garden. No one would have guessed they met only a few days ago! That ends the Pancakes rotation!

nobody could have been able to finish reading at such a fast pace all the evidence i have amassed here, and then quickly dismiss it as totally untrue in less than twenty minutes time after jess-moloney.tumblr.com received the two inbox messages i had sent. those messages were about exposing the actual jessica moloney, not about them, the tumblr jess moloney. what made them think they had to be about them? what exactly made them block my account? why precisely now the sudden 180-degree change in personality and attitude? haven't they been encouraging people to come out and even send them all kinds of evidence about jamie's girlfriend's sinister activities? this begs the question, is the effort to help, save, and aid james campbell bower by exposing the despicable shadiness of the world of celebrities genuine or is it everything part of team con's efforts to do damage control through reverse psychology similarly to britney spears's case? is jess-moloney.tumblr.com trying to help jamie and his fans become aware of fake wannabe fans and fake wannabe celebrity friends or are they hiding a hate blog behind tons of excuses and malicious mental gymnastics? is jess-moloney.tumblr.com actually jessica moloney or an insane, dangerous, morally debauched and horrendously loathsome fan with multiple personality disorder and lots of sock puppet accounts? who and what is hiding behind the truther facade? why do they become so rabidly mad and obnoxiously judgmental instead of thankful when somebody provides them further backup to their claims? why are they downplaying the gravity and seriousness of human trafficking and say it is nothing but trolling as if this could never ever happen to anyone, and that celebrities can't be human trafficking survivors? why is their blog full of darvo and gaslight manipulation tactics? why did they react as if they are jamie bower's possible handler girlfriend and they had been caught red-handed? what could have been the purpose of this charade pretending to be a shill exposing blog if that's the case? negative celebrity publicity? some kind of a sick, perverted, twisted joke? shouldn't they be thankful there are others who are trying to help them reach their goal of raising awareness about bad people infiltrating the nicer celebrities' lives as well as their fandoms? is jess-moloney.tumblr.com being outraged by a certain type of post writing, editing and formatting legit or just a superficial excuse? did jess-moloney.tumblr.com forget when they got offended when anons were criticizing their bad grammar and spelling in the beginning? why did they immediately dismiss what i had brought up for discussion when my sources of information are as authentic as theirs? why do they act so hypocritically and aggressively? do they think they are the next best self-appointed armchair psychiatrist? are they really receiving and answering so many questions in such a short amount of time or are they the only one who is asking and answering them? who really are the innocent victims and the evil perpetrators? how guilty is jessica moloney, james campbell's girlfriend of being a scam? is she swindling everyone or is she set up as a fall girl and a patsy? is she being blackmailed by loan sharks to do certain things and act in a certain way or else.....?

3.147 Gall, audacity, gumption

A few hours after I got home, Less called me, and my heart stopped. Was this what life would become? Me being afraid to answer the phone every time my sister called? I hated that period of my life. Anyway, I got over myself and answered the phone. Her voice was venomous, and every word she spoke felt like an assault on my eardrums. Apparently Jace had come over to talk, and man did she let him have it. She didn't even let him in the house and served him up on the porch in front of the entire neighborhood. I was so proud of her because she stood on business. Strong women often fell victim to their emotions when it came to the men they loved, and all too often, they found themselves repeating the very mistakes they vowed to avoid. I didn't think Less would go soft and let him back into their lives, but I was glad to hear I was right.

This fool called himself trying to explain and had the audacity to act like the victim! After hearing his sob story, one might think HE was the one who carried THREE babies for a week, delivered them, and took care of them by himself. That little shit!! If I thought Less was angry before, that just revved her up even more. She pulled no punches and sliced and diced, talked about the man's family, and everything under the sun. But nothing she said, no matter how harsh, would change his mind or their situation. He didn't come to get her back, and she didn't want him back. She was tired of yelling into the void, and her emotional cup was already full before he arrived. She didn't have anymore fight left in her and made it painstakingly clear she wanted nothing to do with him. But if he grew up and wanted to be a man who took care of his children, they could talk. In the meantime, she fully expected child support.

That, of all things, riled him up. Not her saying his mother was a llama, or he had weak woohoo game. Parting with his precious simoleons for children HE created upset him the most. He tried to argue her down, saying she knew how his employment was set up and how he didn't make a consistent income. Paying child support for THREE babies would bankrupt him. This fool had the gall to try to guilt her into not going there, trying to appeal to her good nature or whatever. Unluckily for him, Less' good nature was very small, and she told him he should have thought about that before he ran off to another country and married another woman.

That's when the begging started. He apologized every which way. He even apologized for stuff she didn't accuse him of, and I laughed so hard. When he saw she would not be moved, he hit her with the "I still love you" bull, hoping that would be the key. Admittedly, that one almost got her, especially when he began to cry. She would never say it to him, but she still loved him too. Of course she did. Dad always said love doesn't just go away. She said she felt stupid for still being in love with him, but I told her not to expect so much from herself because it would take time. She wasn't wrong for still having feelings for him. But my girl knew crocodile tears when she saw them and sent him packing.

She said she wished she would have punched him. It would have made her feel better, but it didn't feel like the right moment. But if he ever stepped to her again with that woe is me bullshit, she would not hesitate to let him have it. Hopefully, he knew how serious she was and didn't mess around and find out. I felt for her and had only realized just then that she was mourning both our dad and her relationship. I made the mistake of thinking she didn't really care about him because she'd never been in love before and their relationship began so quickly. I figured what Less felt was just those initial strong feelings Mama said were easily confused with love. But she did love him, and now she lost him. She didn't deserve any of that, and I just wanted to hug her.

I really hoped she would be open to moving to San Sequoia, whether she took Dad's house or we moved into a duplex. Our lives were way too busy, and it would be easy for us to get wrapped up in our children's affairs and drift apart. At least if we were neighbors would we see each other from time to time.
