The socialite and Newcrest Bears center, Tory Branham, wedded two months ago in Sulani and are now resurfacing and joining society! Get a load of that ROCK!! Looks like our photographer got a new lens. 🤭 We look forward to seeing many beautiful babies from this couple! Don't get comfortable, Melany Pierson. We're still waiting on you!

nissanissa Y'all need to get a life!! Just post cute pics and stay out of people's bedrooms!!!

rubberbandshan 😭 another one off the market! watcher save one for me!!

delperro I've been waiting on therealmelanyp for ages. My children will be teenagers by the time they get some play cousins. 😜

noreallyimkaren She is captivating! And her skin! I've got to know her routine! Anyone know if she has any product endorsements?

sweetsexy He's no Nick Wilkinson, but I sure don't mind looking at him.

nissanissa Oh you're back. I thought they put you under the Simstagram jail. 😑

fashionisha Her style is so aspirational! Professional but comfy and still sexy. So happy for her and Tory!

msjackson Yes her style kinda reminds me of a more casual Nadia Pierson. I could see them shopping at the same stores.

jadaanthony "socialite" is that what they're calling gold diggers these days?

justsipping Right?? I heard all she does is party.

unic0rn I heard she's super intelligent and took the MCAT for the heck of it. For all the haters in the back, that means she could be your doctor if she wanted to.

newcrestacian I love this couple, especially Tory. He's one of the few Newcrest Bears who actually live in Newcrest. He's so down to earth. I always spot him at the store walking around with no security like he's just a dude. Kirah goes with him now. She makes sweats look so sexy. I think she's a vegetarian.

noreallyimkaren Vegetarian? Maybe that's why her skin is so smooth.

Looks like Luca and Sophia's doctor has a fabulous new life in the Pierson save! I had to give a little head nod to her medical history, hee hee. MCCC married them, and I couldn't be happier with this pairing. I love it when it marries my sims to each other. I've literally never seen Tory in the world! A few of the other basketball guys have jobs as waiters in restaurants lol, but Tory is never around. Hopefully he'll come out to play and show off his sweet thang lol.

Also, it occurred to me I can use BNN to post some of the MCCC drama in my game and make it part of the story.

Cities Skylines 2

I've always been a fan of city builder games from waaaaay back to the original SimCity that was only available on Mac in black and white! Similarly, I also enjoy turn-by-turn strategy games like the Civilization series.

Mysteries & thrillers

I love a show/movie that takes me on a wild journey with all kinds of plot twists, red herrings, and keeps me changing my opinion on what the deal is. Bonus points if it all comes together in a way I did not see coming.

Photography

I don't do it as much as I should given all the equipment I've bought over the years lol, but I enjoy taking pictures. I think I enjoy editing them even more.

3D modeling and animation

You guys might remember I took some classes last year and shared some of my projects. It started off as something I wanted to learn for work, but I also enjoy tinkering around with it after hours too. My current computer does not respect the hustle, so I don't practice as much as I want, but a new workhorse is coming! At least it better be. My company is still giving me the run around.

3.260 Come clean

Desi inched toward the sofa and sat down carefully, nervous and completely clueless as to what we had to discuss this time. She probably thought she was in trouble for calling me fat, heh. Instead of allaying her anxiety, I used those few seconds to figure out how to break the news. But she's much older than she was before. Even though I'll always try to shield her from painful details, I didn't need to sugarcoat the truth anymore. She showed me how tough she was during the robbery. I think she might do okay with the unfiltered truth.

She eyed me curiously while I sat trapped in my thoughts.

"What's wrong, Daddy?"

I felt like crying again, but I had to be strong. If I fell apart, that would make things awkward and put my child in a position she didn't need to be in. So, I cleared my throat, shook away the fear, and took a deeeeeep cleansing breath.

"I'm not sure if you've noticed, but I haven't been feeling well lately."

She snorted.

"Yeah, you've been sooo dramatic."

I chuckled nervously.

"Yeah, I guess I have, heh. Well, there's a reason for that."

Here we go, Luc. No turning back. I took another breath.

"Our first night here, I was abducted by aliens."

She blinked, waiting for me to recant that sentence the same way I waited for the doctor to tell me he was pranking me.

"Wait, you're serious?" she asked.

"Unfortunately."

"Aliens are real??"

"They are, and they took me and..." The pressure of tears tried to arrest me again, but I swallowed it. "They—they did things to me... I'm fat because I'm pregnant."

She had that deer in headlights look, just as I expected.

"You're gonna be a big sister," I added, hoping to jog her out of shock, but I failed, so I tried again. "It's a boy."

"W-wait—But, how?"

I shrugged.

"I've been asking that question for two days. I wish I could explain it to you, but I have no clue."

I shook my head at the doctor's advanced alien nanotechnology hypothesis. With all the pain I'd been in, I'm pretty sure my pores were not the hole they used to implant their spawn, and the instrument was definitely not microscopic!

"So like...you're really having a baby?"

I saw a tiny flash of betrayal in her eyes. A tremble of fear in her voice made me take a more proactive approach before things escalated.

"You're safe, okay? Remember what I told you? You're always safe with me."

She nodded.

"I realize how much you enjoy hanging out with us—with me—and I know you thought it would always be like this. I did too. But you're my firstborn. No one can ever take that special bond away from us. But the baby is going to need a lot of attention for a while, and that means we might not get to hang out as much. I need you to understand that my absence doesn't mean I love the baby more than you. Babies are just a lot of work, so me and Mommy will be busy for a while. But if you help us, I know he would love it."

"Me?"

"Oh yes. Big sisters are very important. I'm a big brother, so I know these things."

"What do I have to do?" she asked.

"Well, you don't have to do anything, but it would be great if you did. You're going to be his first friend. That alone will give you a special bond that not even he and I will have. He's going to look up to you and admire you."

"He will?"

"For sure. And if you protect him and make him feel safe, he will grow up to be your biggest fan."

"That's cool...I guess."

"Yeah, it is. But, listen. I know I'm asking a lot of you, and this has all been very sudden, so I'm not expecting you to be okay with it right now. Between you and me, I'm still not okay with it. But whenever you get there, I would love it if you hung out with us."

"Okay."

"I love you more than anything. That will never change, no matter how crazy life gets, okay?"

Finally, a tiny smile.

"Okay."

Kooper ran in and hopped on the couch, looking and smelling like he'd been partying all night, heh.

"Hey," I shouted. "Where have you been, mister? We looked all over for you! Boy, do you stink! Let's get you cleaned up."

In the middle of me giving him a good scrub, Desi knocked on the bathroom door and announced Dub was at the door, and I froze. Panic washed over me, and I looked around to find a place to hide, but there was none. I worried about what he would think of my story, but if I couldn't trust my best friend with one of my worst moments, I'm in bad shape. He and everyone else needed to be informed anyway, so I may as well get it over with. I told her to tell Dub I'd be out in a few and to make himself at home. I finished bathing Kooper and gave myself another pep talk.

3.259 No more hiding

I spent the past two days in shock, trying to wrap my head around being pregnant, and gave no thought to the timing of things. I woke up in the second trimester, and it lowkey devastated me. Of course, I knew the baby had to grow and what that would do to my body, but my mind wasn't there yet. I was still paranoid and concerned about our safety, locking doors and windows at night—still can't believe any of that even happened to me. Waking up with a huge belly was a gut punch. Life went on without me, and I needed to catch up and deal with it. I couldn't hide anymore and had to tell people, including my daughter, and that made me feel like going back to bed and never getting up. I wasn't ready and was still deep in denial, so I went to ThrifTea after breakfast to buy new clothes. Tomorrow will be the first day of fall, so I could start wearing baggy sweaters to hide as much as possible. I'd never been so body conscious in all my life. I wouldn't call myself an exhibitionist, but I had a great body I worked hard to maintain, and I didn't mind showing off from time to time. But now, all I wanted to do was hide myself from the world and disappear. Still, I was conscious of how my mood could affect the baby. Hell, he might be an alien and reading my thoughts. I rubbed my belly and said to my son, "I'm not ashamed of you. I just don't know how to explain you yet."

As I browsed the racks, I tried to stick to oversized hoodies and sweats, but they depressed me. I wasn't the best dresser, but my closet was full of skinny jeans, shirts with deep v-necks, and fashion tees. I couldn't throw away my sense of style even just for this short time. After all, the clothes wouldn't hide me anyway, so I got a few items that were more like me. When I got home, Sophia said she couldn't find Kooper. She looked all over the house and yard, all his favorite hiding spots, and even all the new potential hiding spots. Nothing. She wasn't dressed, so I knew she didn't go far outside and told her I'd walk around the neighborhood and look for him. I felt so self-conscious walking around with my stomach jutting out like I'd swallowed a whole watermelon. Hopefully, my oversized sweater vest did a decent enough job of shielding me from prying eyes. I called out for Kooper, but he never came. Did he seriously run away? The other day when he was out of pocket, was he really fussing at me? Maybe he felt the bad vibes in the house and went back to Gilbert Gardens. Did he feel neglected because I favored Rosie for jogs? It seemed like we always have so much going on in this family, so I guess it's possible we neglected him. Why would he leave us? I got on Social Bunny and asked everyone in the area to lookout for him and call if they saw him. I promise, when he returns, I'll be a better dog dad.

Desi was having a late breakfast when I came back, and it took everything I had not to slip away unseen and hide in my room for the rest of the day. She had to find out, eventually; may as well get it over with. I sat next to Sophia, trying to will the courage to open my mouth, but none came. Luckily, Desiree opened the door.

"You're getting so fat, Daddy."

Sophia glanced at me, and I at her. We were both scared about how this would go. Me and Desi discussed having siblings once, and I basically told her she would be an only child forever. She seemed to appreciate that.

"I'm so sorry," Sophia whispered. "I have to go."

I checked the time, and sure enough, she was due at work soon.

"Do you want me to stay?" she asked, still whispering.

I would have loved to tag-team with her again, but I needed to handle this one on my own. Maybe talking it out with Desi will also help me accept this and spark some excitement.

I shook my head at her, and she patted me on the shoulder as she got up.

"Sit with me, Des. We need to talk."

3.258 Another crummy day

A terrible thunderstorm ravaged San Sequoia, soaking our yards with rain and illuminating the sky with startling flashes of lightning. I desperately wanted to go to the gym and workout, but I'd learned my lesson. Twice. Never again. Since I was trapped indoors, I broke in my studio and meditated to block out the booming claps of thunder and internal voices telling me I was a freak and I'd never be safe again. I needed peace and left my phone on the kitchen counter. Good thing too because after my session, I found a voicemail from my GP saying he got the results back from the additional tests he ran and wanted me to come in as soon as possible to discuss them. I was still in the zone, so I wasn't as bothered as I should have been, but it still concerned me so braved the weather and left right away.

Doc commented on my surprisingly good mood, wondering if I'd accepted my situation. Seriously? Expecting someone to get over that kind of news in a day is unreasonable. Who hired him? He needs sensitivity training or something. I briefly mentioned my meditation and steered the conversation back to the voicemail. He said they found a marker in my blood that might cause my immune system to attack the baby's blood cells. Apparently, it's common and treatable with an injection. I hate needles, but if that was all it took to protect my son, I was down.

The storm had subsided while I was at the hospital, and I was so glad. I hadn't tended the money tree in a few days, and the bugs were feasting on it. The rain still came down pretty hard, but at least the thunder and lightning were over and I could garden in peace.

Inside, I found Sophia having lunch. Naturally, she wanted to know where I had been, so I told her about the voicemail, the news, and the shot. The part about my body attacking the baby seemed to rattle her a bit, so I guess she'd never heard of that either. I appreciated her concern for our son. Coming to terms with having another child and trying to fabricate a connection with him was really hard, and I love that she's trying.

When she recovered, she got back on care duty, reminding me how sorry she was that I'm having to go through all of this and that she'll be here for me every step of the way. She even offered to take me upstairs and give me a premium full-body massage. My mind went crazy imaging what premium included.

But just as we were about to run upstairs to frolic and play, another bout of nausea hit me. Why is this my life??

3.257 Not our week

I woke up feeling super sick—emotionally distressed and nauseated. At first, I thought I just had an upset stomach that would pass as it always did. But the queasiness intensified, churning upwards into my chest. The pressure threatened to suffocate me, and I knew I was about to explode. I ran to the toilet, hoping to make it before the eruption. I collapsed in front of it, clutching the cool porcelain, emptying myself of all the evil lurking inside me. My baby isn't evil, but all that pain and sickness certainly is, heh. They say no pregnancy is the same, so I couldn't compare my experience to Sophia's uneventful one. Still, with that bitter taste in my mouth, I couldn't help wondering, was this horror just another unique pregnancy or a bizarre twist of being a pregnant man?

I scrubbed the toilet, cursing under my breath at the mess I made, then slumped onto the bed, cradling my stomach, having a good ol' pity party. I had just noticed the sharp sting of bile coating my throat when something far worse cut through the air: a smoky smell! SOPHIA!! I shot up so fast I made myself dizzy and bolted downstairs. She was standing in front of the fireplace with flames nipping at her ankles like an annoying little dog. My vision blurred with terror as every fire I'd ever lived through invaded my mind at once. The heat, choking smoke, terrifying crackle, and helplessness assaulted my memory, paralyzing me once again.

Sophia stood there swatting at the flames with panic in her eyes, yet with the same calmness she has when cooking breakfast. She put the fire out. No burns, no screaming, no damage to the house. Just smoke curling toward the ceiling and my amazing wife brushing soot from her sleeves like it was just another Thursday. She was okay. The house was okay. But I wasn't. Why have all these bad things happened to us?? Ever since we moved back here, we've had nothing but trouble! Come to think of it, we left this house in search of a fresh start. It's like all that pain we experienced baked into the walls and waited for us to return. Is this house cursed? Did we make a mistake coming home?

Sophia went upstairs to bathe before going to work. I insisted she take the day off, but she went anyway, leaving me with my intrusive thoughts and bad nerves. But I suppose if I were on fire, this would be the last place I'd want to be, too. Kooper and Rosie hovered near me for a while, and I rewarded them with cuddles and smoochies. They couldn't know how much I needed their company, but I appreciated their warm, soft fur and infectious cheerful spirits. The fur babies were like a healing balm for my weary soul, always knowing just how to cheer me up.

3.256 Not again

I don't know how we made it through dinner without Desi questioning our silence. She must have been thinking really hard about how to win over that little weasel, heh. I'm already side eyeing him, but I'm also excited for Desi. First crushes are always so exciting as they are frustrating. As long as she doesn't get too ambitious, I think I'll be okay. At bed time, I couldn't help double checking all the doors and peeking out the window one last time before laying down. I hate how paranoid the intrusion had made me. Still, I'd never get over it if something happened to my girls. If I can help it, they will never feel violated on my watch. Too bad the universe has a cheeky way of making liars out of us. No sooner than I drifted off, the blaring burglar alarm jolted us out of our sleep. I was so disoriented and halfway understood what had happened.

Good thing I got the Police Link upgrade package. By the time I got downstairs, the officer had already arrived and was trying to subdue the perpetrator. I told Sophia to stay put, but all the color drained out of my face when I heard that tiny gasp behind me.

Everything I had done to prevent that look and corresponding feeling had gone to waste. Despite knowing I could not prevent it, I failed. Or at least I felt like I did. Shielding her from feeling violated was a promise I could not keep, but I wanted to so badly. We can't both be paranoid and traumatized. I didn't want her to see this, especially when the officer seemed to struggle to get the crook under control. What if she overtook her, then went after us? I'd never forgive myself if Sophia got hurt.

After several minutes, the officer finally subdued the burglar and escorted her out of our home. She didn't take anything, and no one got hurt; she was on her way to jail. All of that relieved me, but man, this whole situation was so triggering, and I felt my anxiety creeping up. I locked the door behind them quickly, then ran upstairs to make sure Desi was okay.

I hugged her and apologized for the incident, knowing there was nothing I could do, but still feeling like I had to offer up some kind of comfort, even if it wasn't mine to give. But Desi was calm and noticed how rattled I was. She asked if the burglar took anything, and I said no. Then she asked if the police caught the crook, and I said yes.

"The police stopped her before she even had the chance to look around," Sophia added.

Desi nodded, like our answers satisfied her, and crawled back into bed. At least someone in this house will get some sleep tonight.
