#John Laurent III

[sweet-vanilla-sims]

Year 1600 Part 1:

The Century began with Matilda and Cuthbert becoming teenagers. Both of whom were deeply cared for by the ones close to them. Susanna became an adult though she wanted more time to think on getting married. 

Rachel learned she was pregnant after she and Rodrigo finally decided to begin trying for a baby. Of course, her jealousy began to run rampant much to Susanna and Rodrigo’s disappointment as she was constantly watching over them despite them not doing anything improper. 

Far away, Henry Akiyama married Benedict’s cousin, Mikaela, though no one in the family was present, he did send a letter to Henford to let his siblings know that he was still alive and was willing to consider reestablishing contact. 

With the good news of Henry potentially returning, the Carlisle home in Tartosa was still full of grief as they continued to mourn Thomasin’s loss. That said, Thomasin did visit though no one was awake to see her, she was happy to see her children beginning to grow up well. 

The Jaleel family and the Laurent family had always been close ever since Wilmot was the nanny for the previous family head so it was no surprise that their children would also get to know each other. Still it was a shock when John III proposed to Clemence  and the two announced they had left town for a week and eloped shortly before Clemence’s eighteenth birthday.

Unnamed Road - Chapter III

Face claim: Melanie Laurent as Izzy. Morena Baccarin as Tess.

Tess is a property of @livvy-lov3

Coda to 2.06 "Maximum Deployment"

Officer John Cooper is about to discover feelings that he thought that were impossible to him feel.

Izzy and Tess were both in the borthel, seeing the girls working. 

    "You like it?" The blonde asked. 

    "Here? Yeah, I'm used to it. You should come work here." Tess answered, laughing. 

    "Me? Serious, Tess?" 

    "Yeah. Would you like to try? I am sure you will do well." 

    Izzy thought a little and said yes, affirming that she would return the next day. She bought some new lingeries and a gift for her new friend: a necklace from Tiffany & CO. 

    And the next day, there she was. Ready to start her work. Nervous, because she needed to lie to her parents, Izzy got into the borthel and greeted Tess. 

    "You ready?" The madam asked. 

    "Not sure, but I'll try. Thanks for the opportunity. Oh, I brought something for you. Let's go to the locker room." 

    They both went up the stairs and Izzy took the gift.

    "Remember girl, you deserve it" she said and opened up the box revealing the gem. 

    "Oh!" Tess was shocked. "My God!" 

    “How can I make it?” Izzy asked, while she was coming up on the stage. “You’ll learn with time” Tess replied. “Just spin around the pole and laugh for them. They love it because’ em are all assholes. Just get their money.” 

    They both laughed and Tess went to open the doors up. Izzy tested a spin, checking that it wouldn't make her dizzy. Tess would do the show that night, but Izzy and the other girls also would go on stage. 

    When Izzy was serving the customers, someone got a little slap across her ass. She immediately turned around, just to see Ben Sherman sitting in a chair. 

    “Ben?!” He startled back “Izzy?! Damn! What are you doing here?” 

    “Having fun” 

    “Fun? You are wearing just a panty and a bra!” 

    “Yeah, I'm working here for a few days.” Izzy answered and lowered her voice “don't tell this to anyone!” 

    “Take it easy. I came here to talk to Tess.” He said. “Oh, so you will like it. Tess is the queen of the night. She is the main attraction today.” 

    As Izzy told it, Ben got furious and he passed through the stage, going up the stairs. Tess tried to hold him, but she failed. “Fuck!” She cursed. 

    Izzy went to serve the man, looking for the stairs every ten minutes, but neither Ben nor Tess came down. Suddenly, she realized that someone was watching her. Izzy looked around, but didn't see anyone. 

    “Would you like a beer sir?” she asked a man sitting in the shadow in a corner. The guy came forward and the light illuminated his face. It was John, Ben's TO. 

    He looked at Izzy, from her head to her feet, looking surprised by her clothes. She smirked. 

    “Officer John! What a surprise! First Ben, now you. Beer?” She asked again. “Ben's here too? Where is he?” 

    “He went up the stairs. I guess he went to talk to Tess”. 

    “And you? What are you doing here?” 

    “I'm having some fun.” John got scared “Some fun?” Izzy laughed. “You and Ben are relatives? You both speak the same way. He was also scared by my answer. So, beer? I need to serve other guys.”

    As she said it, a man got another slap across her ass, and Izzy went to ask what he wanted. John was disgusted to see that and now he was no longer just worried about Tess. Breath coming in sharp, rapid jerks. Ben came down from the second floor and passed through the door without seeing him, but John couldn't leave, remembering when Izzy called him “hot fuzz”. 

    When he saw Izzy going to climb the stairs, he was after her. She was into the locker room, and he almost broke down the damned door. 

    “What-” Izzy yelped when the door was opened up. When she saw John standing there, she instinctively covered her breasts. “Now I've to ask: what are you doing here?” 

    Trying to hide how much the girl upset him, John got two steps to her. “You said you were having fun here. You know how long I'm trying to make Tess give up on this kind of life?” He was very furious. More than Ben when he heard of Tess being the main attraction of the night.

Surviving Family:

Larissa and Gideon’s daughter Rose married John Laurent and they had four children though their first child, Mildred, died in birth. John died in the first plague event just before Rose discovered she was pregnant with their triplets, Ruth, John II, and Gideon. Gideon sadly passed in the same plague. Then Rose died after being discovered as a vampire followed by the younger Gideon passing shortly after her.

John Laurent II married Kyleigh Behr (pictured above) and the two had three children before he died. Their son John Laurent III is the future head of the Laurent family. Their daughter, Corinne, is the one without the Vlad eyebrows and their daughter, Arianna, is the one who appears to definitely have the Vlad eyebrows.  

I’m curious as to how long the eyebrows will last but certainly to Vlad’s great-great-grandchildren.
