Ramblings of a Sim Addict

The following is directly from Roslynn’s diary:

Dear Diary,
I tried to forget about the kiss and the feelings that were awakened from it, I wanted to do the right thing and be a good wife and mother. At work, I stayed clear of Komei (the handsome red haired man, that kissed me) and concentrated solely on the jobs set before me. He seemed to catch the hint and left me alone, I was grateful for the distance.

Once I was home, I was always busy. Anastasia was growing fast, so Thomas and I got to work quickly planning another birthday party for her. We had a small, traditional little celebration in our kitchen. Thomas brought Anna to her cake and helped her blow out her candles, while Tony and I stood by and cheered.

She grew before our eyes, into a child. She wasn’t the most beautiful little girl, but I sensed something uniquely special about her. Anna had an air of confidence that was apparent, even at her young age. I could feel that she would be a strong, successful young woman.

After Anna’s birthday, I was beginning to feel better about myself and my mistake. I still had a slight nagging in my stomach and I still longed for adventure and excitement, but I was happy playing with my children.

The following is directly from Roslynn’s diary:

Dear Diary,
I’ve heard that confession is good for the soul and can even help you come to terms with what you have done. Well, that is why I am pouring my heart out on these pages. I have no one else to turn to, at least, no one that I would trust with this secret. If the truth ever came out, it would ruin too many lives and I couldn’t bare the pain or responsibility. To be honest, writing down the happenings of the last few years isn’t a smart idea either,(my father always told me to never commit to paper what you don’t want another living person to know) but I fear it is the only way to clear my conscious.

I should start at the beginning, Anna had just turned into a toddler and I was preparing to return to work. Thomas had arranged to stay home during the day and care for Anastasia. He loved spending time with her and they would play for hours in her room.

That is where I would find them when I came home from work. I adored my husband and my children (I still do) and relished in the special time I had with Anna; she was my little princess.

Roslynn’s break from work was quickly coming to an end, she was happy in a way to be returning to the office (she missed her colleagues and the excitement her work brought her), but she knew she would miss spending time with her children. She still had a birthday for Anna to plan, though, before she could return to her council-member duties. Thomas left explicit directions for her, on how to create an amazing birthday cake and she arranged for Tony to come home early from school. She wanted the family gathered in the kitchen to help her baby celebrate her transition into toddler hood.

The morning passed quickly and Roslynn had successfully managed to decorate the kitchen and prepare a lopsided cake, she sighed as she looked around the room.
“It’s perfect, just like my family.”
Everyone gathered together, huddled around the birthday girl and watched as she attempted to blow out her candles.

Roslynn’s eyes filled with tears, as she set Anna down and watched her blossom into a little girl.

Thomas picked his daughter up and held her tight, he hated seeing his children grow. He wished he could keep them babies forever, but knew it wasn’t possible. Anna was screeching in delight, as Thomas’s beard tickled her cheek.
“I bet you are in the mood for some birthday cake,” Thomas said gently, as he placed her in the highchair. “Here you go darling, eat up.”

Roslynn smiled contentedly to herself, as she watched Thomas interact with Anna. He loved their family so much, she couldn’t have asked for a better husband. He turned slightly and caught Roslynn staring at him, his cheeks flushed; she had still had that affect on him, even after all these years.
Thomas crossed the kitchen quickly and grabbed Roslynn into a passionate embraced.

“I love you, Roslynn,” Thomas whispered into her ear.

“I love you, too.”

“I’ll take Anna and get her ready for bed, why don’t you go in the living room and relax. I know you have been busy today.”

“That sounds like a good plan,” Roslynn sighed. “I can work on these dishes later.”

She watched Thomas’s back, as he walked out of the kitchen, with a squealing Anna in his arms; he was wonderful, her family was beautiful and she was happy. Why, then, did have a nagging feeling in her stomach; something was missing and she didn’t know what it was.

Roslynn couldn’t sleep, the little baby growing inside her tummy kept reminding her that the due date was growing closer. “You can stop kicking my rib cage, little one,” Roslynn murmured to herself. “I haven’t forgotten about you.”

Thomas shifted in bed, as Roslynn slowly crept to the bathroom, she just couldn’t fall back to sleep. The sharp jabs she felt in her stomach weren’t subsiding and she hoped a hot bath would help calm them. As the warm water washed over her, she closed her eyes and tried to relax. So much was happening and she was beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed. She was certainly happy, how could she not be, her family was beautiful, healthy and growing. Work was going great for both Thomas and her, but life was a bit too perfect (at least that is how Roslynn felt). The cloudy haze of sleep lingered in her head and her breathing slowed…suddenly, a sharp jab sent her reeling. The baby was coming!

Roslynn quickly dried off and threw on some clothes, she decided to take a short walk to help ease some of the pain, but she didn’t make far…

She was in full blown labor! She breathed deeply through each sharp contraction and soon she was holding her new baby.

Roslynn had given birth to a beautiful baby girl. She was thrilled that she had a daughter and decided to name her after the first gypsy in the Malory family, Anastasia.
“My precious daughter,” Roslynn cooed, “I will always love you.”

Thomas and Roslynn slid easily into the role of parents, they doted on little Tony day and night. Roslynn loved waking up every morning and rushing into the nursery to spend time snuggling with her “special little boy”.

Standing in the doorway, watching the two of them was Thomas’s favorite way to spend his morning. He adored their little family and could only think of one way to improve their lives; he wanted another child. Unfortunately, Roslynn was determined to win the upcoming city council election, so his plans would have to be put on the back burner. He wanted to make his beloved wife happy and enjoyed staying home with Anthony during the day, well she was out on the campaign trail.

Time passed at a furious rate in the Malory house, Roslynn was kept busy with her new duties as a city council member, but she still managed to make wonderful birthday cake for Anthony’s party. The smile spread slowly across her cheeks, as she held little Anthony close to his cake.
“Take a deep breath,” Roslynn cooed, “and blow out your candles.”

Thomas and Roslynn helped the little boy blow out his birthday candles and watched in awe, as their baby grew into a curious toddler.

Roslynn leaned into Thomas’s arms, as she stared at her son.
“He is growing so fast, ” she sighed. “I wish we could keep him little forever.”

“I know, hun,” Thomas said, as he stroked her arm, “but he is going to continue to grow, no matter what we do.”

“Oh, I know, but maybe it is time to have another one,” Roslynn purred into Thomas’s ear.

“I think that request can be arranged.”
