I think Corey and I may be just about Simmed out soon, but not yet which is why I present to you my first Sims2 picture story behind the cut. I need to mess with the quality somehow but they'll do for now.

We start with a picture of Chris and one of his baby daughters. As you can see he's a 'squint and it could be Chris' sim as I had to make him myself, but he's good enough for me until someone with some talent makes a better skin. He's not a very happy bunny right now, he and Edward love one another but it's not enough. He needs more and spends most of his time looking after babies while his career in the criminal track stagnates. It doesn't help that Edward is on day shift and Chris nights, they're like ships in the night most days.

When Edward is at work Chris keeps busy anyway he can. He loves to do yoga and is really flexible. Which he demonstrates while watching another of the babies.

Desperate for company he makes friends with Andrew the flaming maid. They bond over gossip and bitching about how men are pigs. Chris admits how his relationship is rocky right now and Andrew gets a gleam in his eye when he announces, I know someone perfect for you.

Chris shrugs and goes to change nappies once more. He knows the chance of meeting anyone new when he comes complete with three baby daughters is remote. Plus there's Edward, who he does still love a little, and James who won't call anymore but who Chris loves anyway. However, later that day, just as he switches on the music that gets him through the lonely days, someone walks in.

Hi, the stranger says. Andrew sent me over. I'm JC ( and yes I know, if you thought Chris skin was bad ;)

Dubious at first at this pink hat wearing stranger, Chris soon relaxes when he compliments his music taste and soon they're dancing ( which amuses me greatly as I loaded a few Nsync songs into the game which play on the stereos now. Seeing Sims get down to Digital Getdown is so funny *g* ) It's like they're known each other forever and they dance all afternoon in between nappy changes and bottles.

However, there's trouble ahead when Edward walks in. He's tired after a long day and all he wants is something to eat and to watch tv. Instead his Chris is dancing with this freak.

He's not a violent man at all, but his temper rises.

And sadly it ends in violence as he slaps Chris hard across the face.

Chris protests, arguing back he's done nothing wrong and JC's just a friend but Edward is too far gone and slaps him again before storming from the house to go sit in the lovetub and steam.

Upset, Chris says sorry to JC. He hates that this has happened and knows his relationship with Edward is over. Except, he loves him still. He's so confused. JC sees this, he's only known Chris a day but he knows when something special is happening and he hates to see him so upset, so he comforts him the only way he knows how. Pulling him close, whispering in his ear that things will be fine.

Chris is annoyed, why should Edward be upset at him? He hadn't done anything wrong. Then in a moment of madness he decides if he's going to be blamed for something he didn't do he might as well get the benefit, so smiles and makes a suggestion in JC's ear.

Babies fed, changed and in their cots, Chris takes JC's hand and leads him to bed. JC knows he should say no, except, you know, sex.

They lie in bed chatting for a moment, then the deed is done, uncaptured sadly as it happened so fast.

The next day JC was gone and Chris was alone wondering if it had really happened, then a famliar feeling made him fly to the toilet as morning sickness struck.
