"One Day at a Time" ... **Chapter 7 THE END**

[beeps]

Hey yall! By popular demand (heh heh - kinda) I give you the sequel to "Just Another Day" (http://www.sims2community.com/showthread.php?t=16501). I hope everyone enjoys it! **Please remember to FB!**

Introduction

Lara

Hi, Im Lara Day! Remember me? Well, I'm all grown up now and living out on my own... Not so scary after college but still very different. Firstly, I should explain to you that I am no longer a red-head. Nope, I got rid of the color first thing when I got to college - it was definitely time for a change.

Let me give you a little background on what I have been up to since the last time you all saw me...

I graduated from High School, THANK GOD, and went straight away to college. I picked Sim State University because it seemed like a totally awesome school, and I got tons of scholarships. Anywho, I decided on that college partly because of the scholarships and partly because of this boy. Actually... the boy. After that night I knew I was in love. Remember Braydon MacCallister? No, it's not him I'm in love with... It's his brother! Mitchell MacCallitster, Braydon's older brother, was the teacher's aid who chapperoned the prom. Remember him? I danced with him all night long.

***

Well let's just say that college did our relationship wonders, and I have never been so in love and so happy in my life. I am truly, truly blessed.

Lucy

Hi, I'm Lucy Day! Wow, it feels GREAT to talk for once! I love my twin sister, don't get me wrong... But I spent so many years under her shadow that I had never felt like I could ever speak for myself. It was the night of the senior prom in Summerset that really gave me a push from behind. I stood up to her in way that I never thought I could - I told her my true feelings about her love interest Braydon MacCallister. She got mad, but she knew it was wrong. She knew that Braydon didn't like her. He liked me. It was really hard for her to hear that though. Anywho, you already know all this anyways! So here's how I look now...

***

Yeah, pretty different from my High School years, eh? Well, Lara had given me a make-over the night of the prom, and it just stuck with me from then on. Braydon and I decided to attend different colleges because our interests were so different. I went to BridgeWater Academy because it was the most prestegious school in all of Summerset. Braydon attended Academie Le Tour because there was an excellent sports program there. Remember Braydon?

***

I know that's when he was a teenager, but it's just about the only picture I have of him alone. All the other pictures are of us together. After we graduated college, we moved into a little house right on main street and have been together ever since. We are most definitely living a charmed life.

Chapter 1

Lara

After graduation, I found a tiny apartment in Summerset while Mitchell moved into his late grandfather's house. Michael MacCallister, Mitchell and Braydon's grandfather, was Summerset's former florist and flower connoisseur. When he died about two years ago, he willed his flower shop to Mitchell, knowing that his grandson had the soft spirit and gentle personality needed to run a business centered around flowers. The house was spectacular.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/3.jpg
***

One day Mitchell asked me over for a mid-day date, and I was more than happy to accept. I walked over slowly, taking the time to stop and watch everything that was happening around me. I couldn't wait to see him. Every time I see him, my heart flutters and I can't stop thinking about how happy he makes me feel.

He sees me playing with the flowers in his front yard, and I see him walk out of his house with a smile on his face. I find myself in his arms, and the whole world fades away. We talked for hours outside just walking around, smelling the flowers. Then completely out of nowhere, Mitchell fell to one knee and looked up at me. He said that all he could ever think about was me, and he wanted me to have his whole heart forever and ever.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/4.jpg
***

I was nearly crying at this point, and I looked down to see a pair of tear-filled eyes looking back up at me. Mitchell smiled and reached into his pocket. He said that nothing would make him happier than to have me as his wife. Then he asked me those four little words that I have waited all my life to hear.

"Will you marry me?"
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/5.jpg
***

I nodded my head and took the ring from its box, slid it onto my finger and flung myself at my new fiancee. Mitchell took me into his arms and sighed contentedly. We held each other close until the sun went down and the moon came up.

Lucy

I nearly fainted when I heard that Mitchell had proposed to Lara. I was so happy for the two of them that I nearly forgot how happy I was in my own little house with my own man. Braydon is everything I have ever wanted, and he made it clear each and every day that I was the love of his life. We are so cute together, don't you think?!
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lucy%20and%20Braydon/3.jpg

We spent so many good times together throughout the months after graduation.

Long days in the hot tub...

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lucy%20and%20Braydon/4.jpg
***

One night after we had WooHooed, there was this strange tune going through my head for the rest of the night. It was like a little chiming song, and I didn't know what it was until the next morning when I had to run straight to the bathroom. I was pregnant. When I told Braydon he seemed happy and then nervous. I asked him what was wrong, and he said that he wanted to marry me and start a family with me more than anything he has ever wanted in his life. I smiled as he took a knee and held up an engagement ring, which I accepted with a teary smile.

Chapter 2

Lara

The day we set aside for our wedding party had to be the nicest, sunniest days I have ever seen in Summerset. The house was beautiful, the flowers were blooming, and all the guests had arrived. Everything was perfect. Mitchell was so excited to tie the knot, he all but dragged me under the arch. I was speechless with joy as I felt Mitchell slip the cool, gold band over my finger.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/8.jpg
***

After I was oficially Lara MacCallister, we all made our way over to the cake table to cut the cake. I should have known that Mitchell's playful side would sneak through, and sure enough he stuffed my mouth FULL of cake. It was cute though, so I didn't mind.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/9.jpg
***

The wedding party was a smash, but it was too much commotion for one day. Mitchell and I kissed after his brother Braydon toasted to us, and then we all said goodbye to each other.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/10.jpg

After everone had left, all the wedding decorations were picked up and put away and the night sky had fallen, we found ourselves in each other's arms again. This was just the beginning of what would turn out to be a beautiful night.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/11.jpg
***

We giggled and playfully pushed each other out of the way as we raced up to the bedroom. Mitchell and I have kept a cool on our intimate relationship, and since now we were married it was time to spice it up a little bit... And boy, were we ready!

Lucy

Braydon was extatic to have a little one on the way, as was I... But Braydon was worried about supporting another person. Therefore, he went out and got his first job after college. He was merely an assistant coach of something or other, but I was proud of him nontheless.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lucy%20and%20Braydon/8.jpg
***

The first day at his new job, he called me on his lunch break just to check up on my and the baby. He was SUCH a sweetheart. When he got home, there was nothing on his mind but me and the baby. While he had been at work, my stomach had grown considerably, and Braydon was pleasantly surprised. He spent some time getting to know the baby.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lucy%20and%20Braydon/10.jpg
***

The next couple of days flew by in a flash... Braydon was busy working every day, and I was busy taking it easy. I don't think I have ever talked to Lara so much in my life! The day that I went into labor, Braydon was still at work. I wished he would have been at home with me because I was surprised to find out...

Chapter 3

Lucy

Braydon got home from work shortly after I gave birth. He stepped into the house with a bright smile on his face as he looked over to me. He walked up to me and kissed me lightly on the cheek and then looked down at the little bundle of joy in my arms. He smiled and gently ran his hand over the tiny hairs on little Kristin's head.

I smiled and looked over at Braydon who was mesmorized by how tiny our daughter was. He smiled before he looked up at me and then we kissed lightly before I told him there was a surprise in the nursery. Braydon's eyes lit up, and he walked in the baby's room as I reached for a bottle for little Kristin.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lucy%20and%20Braydon/14.jpg
***

I heard a little gasp from Braydon as he walked into the room. I smiled to myself as I head him walk up to the crib and take little Andrew into his arms. That's right, we had twins! I heard Braydon say something to his son and could only imagine the look on his face as he held Andrew to his face.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lucy%20and%20Braydon/19.jpg
***

"Honey," Braydon started as he walked out of the nursery carrying baby Andrew, "We have two!"

I giggled at his comment and traded babies with him. It was time to feed Andrew as well before we sent them both off to bed. I smiled as I watched Braydon hold his baby daughter in his arms while I took Andrew's bottle from the fridge.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lucy%20and%20Braydon/13.jpg
***

Braydon dissappeared into the nursery again to put Kristin down for her nap. After the twins were born this afternoon, I could NOT stop smiling! They were the most beautiful babies I have ever seen before. Braydon held Kristin above his head, gave her a playful kiss on the tummy and gently set her down in the crib for her nap.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lucy%20and%20Braydon/18.jpg

I walked into the nursery after burping little Andrew and put him to sleep along with Kristin. Braydon and I stood in the doorway and watched our little ones drift off to sleep. They were so prescious.

Lara

Mitchell and I were so happy for Lucy and Braydon and their new little babies! After Lucy and I grew closer as sisters and friends, she told me once that she would love to have twins of her own... Now she had them! Anywho, a couple of days ago Mitchell and I found out that we were expecting a little one of our own!
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/12.jpg
***

Although Mitchell was a knowledge sim, he was SO happy that he was going to be having a little girl or boy soon. The days that I was pregnant would have been hard normally, but Mitchell made it very easy for me. Not only did he cook almost every meal and clean up after, he would tell me very night how beautiful I looked with a big tummy.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/16.jpg
***

Mitchell would make up little songs about the cutest things and sing them to the baby. He believed that the baby could hear things even when he was in my stomach, and he wanted his son or daughter to have a love for music like him. He looked so cute singing to my stomach!
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/14.jpg
***

It didn't seem long at all (because of everything that Mitchell did for me), and it was soon time for me to have the baby. Mitchell was home for the day and was busy painting in the other room when I started crying lightly. He rushed into the room and tried to help me with anything as I gave birth to our little baby.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/17.jpg
***

Mitchell was all smiles when he saw me hold up baby Addison to the light. He had his mommy's eyes and his daddy's red hair... He was the most beautiful baby boy I had ever seen in my life. I looked him over to see if he had all the right numbers of fingers and toes...
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/18.jpg

Chapter 4

Lara

These days, it seems as though Mitchell simply can't put baby Addison down! He loves his tiny son with all his heart, and I was delighted to see him take such affection with our son. Every morning after Addison would awake, Mitchell would take him out on the balcony in the sunshine and sing softly to him while the little baby woke up.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/20.jpg
***

Because of his work schedule, Mitchell was never home to put the little tyke to bed, so that was my job. Mitchell would wake baby Addison up every morning, and I would put him to sleep every night. It was a great way for both of us to stay in contact with our son. I even made up a little nighttime song that I would sing to Addison before he went to sleep.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/23.jpg
***

We continued this schedule until Addison was ready to transition into a toddler. Mitchell was promoted again, and he was now working a 9-5 shift, which was a pleasant change. Addison finally grew up into the sweetest toddler I have ever seen.

Lucy

Braydon was finally at the top of his Athletic career, and I was so happy for him. We set off to buy some new things for the house, a couple things for the backyard, and two new cribs for the twins. They were slowly but surely growing out of their old ones. Andrew and Kristin were now toddlers.

Andrew sprouted the curliest hair I have ever seen on a little toddler, but it seemed to fit his personality so well. His eyes were blue like mine, but he had hair and the eyebrows like his daddy. He was a talkative little one.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lucy%20and%20Braydon/20.jpg
***

Kristin, on the other hand, was very well-mannered and quiet. She was more like I was when I was her age (I think). She had my eyes and my hair, and she was absolutely prescious. She, unlike her brother, could spend hours on end playing with her toys by herself and be completely content. She was my little angel.

Chapter 5

Lucy

Braydon and I certainly had our hands full. The twins were getting bigger and bigger and getting smarter too. They were constantly trying to ask us for things, so we thought it was time to teach them how to speak formally. They were wonderful students.

Braydon went to work teaching Andrew...

After about two hours, both the twins knew how to speak, and Braydon and I took turns congratulating the tykes.

They were certainly growing up to be well-rounded children. In fact, their birthday was only two days away! Braydon and I spent the next couple of days planning their birthday. They were so excited for the twins to grow up!

Lara

Oh my goodness, I never knew that having a toddler was so much work! Little Addison was growing up so fast that it seemed as though I didn't even have time to blink. He was talking now and using the potty. I decided that I should teach him how to walk, since Mitchell and I just bought him his first toy box.

And as I expected, he was a quick learner!

While I was at home teaching Addison how to walk and talk, Mitchell was out working all day every day. It was hard sometimes because he would be gone for so long, but the family needed the money to keep the flower shop open and running. Plus, Mitchell seemed to love his Medical job.

The day before Addison's birthday was the day he learned how to walk. When Mitchell came home from work, he kissed me lightly and scooped up Addison, quietly congratulating him on learning to walk. Mitchell was such a huge support in our family.

***

Later that night after I had finished talking to Lucy about her twins birthday (which had been a smashing success), I sat on the couch talking to Mitchell about things. Soon little Addison would be going to school and riding the bus and making all sorts of new friends. We were a little nervous because things were changing so fast, but there was something in Mitchell's voice that made everything feel just right.

Chapter 6

Lara

Addison is growing SO fast! He is now a young boy and has already started middle school. He really loves it there, and he seems to be making a lot of friends. It makes me and Mitchell happy to know that Addison is getting along with the other kids. He does love to stay home and play by himself... He loves the dart board Mitchell bought for him.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/35.jpg
***

We dicided that since we were going to have to buy Addison a new "big boy" bed, we redecorated his entire room. Addison went crazy for the cowboy pattern, so his new room had sort of a Western feel.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/36.jpg
***

When Addison wasn't playing with his friends or his dart board, he was busy doing homework. He was a bright young boy, but there were certain subjects that he had trouble with. Mitchell and I did our best to encourage him, and he kept plugging away.

One day after talking to Lucy for a while, we decided to have a little get-together so that our kids would become closer friends. Addison seemed happier now that he started to play with Andrew more. They were so cute together!

Lucy

The twins transitioned into children, and their birthday party was a super success! They ate cake, opened presents, and had a grand old time. They loved what Braydon and I did with their bedroom, and they spent a lot of their time in there playing with their new indoor basketball hoop or jumping on their new beds.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lucy%20and%20Braydon/30.jpg
***

Well, Kristin was the silly one... Andrew spent most of his time playing with Addison or doing his homework. He was getting an A+ in all his classes, and the teachers couldn't find a bad thing to say about him.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lucy%20and%20Braydon/32.jpg

Andrew would even do his sister's homework sometimes!
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lucy%20and%20Braydon/33.jpg
***
Kristin never asked Andrew to do her homework, but she certainly didn't mind when he did do it. They spent almost every day together... They loved playing games like Cops & Robbers, but they also loved talking about school and video games.

***

After talking it over, Braydon and I decided that it would be best for the twins to go to private school. We liked the public school system in Summerset, but since we had the money, we thought it would be good for their education to enroll them in private school. Plus, they looked so cute in their little uniforms!

This story makes me happy. And everytime I read it it makes me want to go play the sims and have a bunch of cute lil' toddlers running around. In fact, I think I'll go do that now.

Sorry for not doing the FB thing for a while. I've been kind of down in the dumps about getting no FB on my own thing but I'm okay now. :beer:

Anyways, enough about that! This is some good stuff, bP! I can't wait to read more. :anime: Oh, and Braydon is so cute, I wanna squish him. :lovestruc

[jenny]

I think its nice sometimes to have just a good ol love story with lots of babies! kinda like a feelgood movie, dosen't always need vampires, and murders, weird twists, although those are good too!

[beeps]

Kalorii... Thanks so much for remembering me. Cyber-slap me if I have neglected your story :( Sowwy! I think its so cute that you want to squish Braydon!
jenny... I know what you mean. Nothing tragic is happening in this story, and the next (final) chapter leaves everyone giggling a little - or so I hope.

oh....i'm bummed that there's only one chapter left...i love this story....but if we're in for a laugh then i can't wait to see it...

Chapter 7

Mitchell was climbing the Medical career ladder so fast these days, and Lara could tell that he loved being in the hospital every day. He was now a surgeon and worked mostly on premature babies. He worked wonders with his hands, so it was easy for him to sew up tiny incisions.

Lara was busy trying to work her way up in the Show Business career track. She always said it was by the grace of God that she was already a broadway star. She credits half her status to the wonderful diploma she received from college.

Addison, Andrew and Kristin were now all teenagers. Boy, had the years gone by fast or what? The first thing Addison asked for when he transitioned into a teenager was an electric guitar. Obviously all the singing Mitchell did while Addison was still in Lara's tummy paid off.

He really was a wonderful musician.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/46.jpg
***

Addison loved his new and improved room as well. His style wasn't strictly "skater" because he loved everything with a modern/downtown kind of feel. He loved the Summerset skyline.

Addison made friends very easily in his school, which made Lara and Mitchell very happy. He was also getting a B+ in class, and Addison was thrilled with it. He recently got a part time job in the Business career track, which he really seemed to love. He was actually the Executive Assistant at Summerset Enterprises, which was quite the honor.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/48.jpg

All in all, Addison was a good kid... But he did seem to sneak off every once in a while to meet Andrew somewhere downtown.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lara%20and%20Mitchell/49.jpg
***

But boys will be boys.

Andrew and Kristin were also teenagers, and they were adapting to high school life very well. Andrew spent most of his time with his girlfriend while Kristin went out with her close friends, scoping downtown for cute boys.

The twins were doing extremely well in school, and they were both loving private school. Andrew helped Kristin with her Spanish while Kristin helped Andrew with his math. They always seemed to make up for each other's slack.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lucy%20and%20Braydon/40.jpg
***

Braydon and Lucy were so proud of their kids going out (on their own) and getting jobs. Andrew was so interested in his father's career that he was working as a locker room attendant at Sim State University part time. Kristin was an Orderly at Summerset Hospital, and she was loving everything Medical.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lucy%20and%20Braydon/41.jpg
***

They were doing so well in school and work that Braydon and Lucy never thought much about their kids asking them for things here and there. It wasn't until that one Friday that everything from their past caught up with them and bit them on the butt.

"Im going to need at least $100 mom," Kristin said to her mother.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lucy%20and%20Braydon/44.jpg

"You can stay out until 1:00am. But just this one time," Braydon told his son.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g221/Simbols/Day%20Family/Day%20Story%20PART%202/Lucy%20and%20Braydon/43.jpg

Lucy looked over to Braydon, who was watching Andrew and Kristin go meet Addison outside, and thought to herself. She wondered if things were still the same today as they were when she was in high school.

The couple watched out the window as their children, along with their cousin Addison, took a seat under the big tree out front, painting a rather familiar picture as they proceeded to plan their prom night.
