Justyna Ottomas came back from studies. She knew that she would have to help her dad raise her step-siblings. They were still little kids and Dawid was more and more old. He tried to be a good father after Beata's death during the birth of Waleria. It was tough for the whole family.
Justyna loves her siblings and she even managed to teach Waleria how to talk.
"Now say: bottle." "Bopl."
But the happy time didn't last long.
Oh my god.
She was left alone with two kids and had a mission to raise them well. She even asked her boyfriend to move in so she could have some help because no one else from the family could help her. Shea Johnston didn't hesitate and tried his best.
It looks like Marek liked Shea!
It was the last day of childhood for Berenika. There was so much snow, that she had the day off in school.
She enjoyed morning with console game.
And she met a stray dog and played fetch.
In the afternoon Berenika decided to throw a birthday party. She invited all her friends and asked mom to buy a cake.
Time to be a teenager!
She turned out to be a nice girl with a popularity aspiration. Turned out she dreams about being a hall of famer, just like her granddad. But she didn't like the way she looked. It reminded her about being a little girl so she went to a dresser and found something else. She changed her hair also.
But happiness didn't last long.
Oh no.
(I play with Polish names so Nathan is actually Nikodem in my game but I use English so it can be understandable who is who)
Nathan died on the kitchen floor. At least he witnessed the growing up of his only granddaughter.
It wasn't a great day after all. The birthday was ruined, the last grandparent was dead and the party turned out to be a catastrophe.
But at least Sharla inherited the house and she could stay here.
She thought that she needed to be comforted after this traumatizing event.
So she decided to cry on Don Lothario's shoulder.
And the next day on Bogdan's shoulder.
She had a lot of shoulders to cry on.
Nathan felt like those were his last days. He was sick almost every day and it was a blessing that Mary prepared a lot of Granny's soup before she passed away. At least it could remind him of his late wife.
He decided to spend those days in a fun way and do some things that his son may not like but he felt it was the right way to do so.
He wanted to go Downtown and enjoy maybe the last day of his life.
He enjoyed bowling.
And he even mixed some music. That was a great day!
But he also had to do one last thing.
He invited Sharla and his granddaughter Berenika to his house.
"Listen, we need to talk inside. Berenika can have fun in the snow."
"I wonder what's that."
"Maybe... You could move here with Berenika instead of renting this awful apartment. I don't want you to live in the place where tragedy happened. It's not good for the girl."
"You're not afraid of what people say? And Kamil? He won't be happy when he sees me here."
"Do you think I care?! I want you to be here! And to have B close! And to give you a better life!"
"You don't have to shout. I want it. I wasn't sure..."
"I'm so glad we're gonna live together!"
Sharla and Berenika took their things from the apartment and quickly moved to Nathan's house.
"You're gonna live in the same room as your dad. I hope you'll enjoy it." - he said to Berenika at dinner.
"That's cool! I'm glad we can live with you, grandpa!" - the girl was excited about living with her only grandfather. She didn't have a chance to meet Peter.
"I'm happy too, B."
"I'm so happy, Nathan!"
Mirosława was so happy that Kamil moved to her house. She felt lonely after her father died and Miłosz moved to Picasos' house. She missed her now-fiance and she had waited so long for him to finish his degree. Mirka loved him so much and didn't want to treat him as her bigger sister treated her husband. It was true love.
He took an old cat from his home and agreed to take another one from the shelter.
They started to feel like a true family. They only needed a wedding. But it was hard to do because they were working on different days and different hours so it was difficult to come up with the date. Mirosława and Kamil decided to get married without anyone, just before work.
It was her dream.
Later, on the evening they were still cherishing their new chapter in life.
"I missed you in that dorm." - he whispered. "I missed you in my dad's stupid bakery." - she laughed.
She finally felt safe in someone's arms and received something good in life. Mirosława can leave the past behind and be happy with the love of her life. "Do you want to sit on the couch?" - Kamil asked. "Yeah, sure."
"I love you." "I love you, too".
Sorry for not posting for so long! I had many issues related to my work and private life, so I had to take a break. I have many photos from the game and stories, so buckle up!
This time we're visiting Mirosława Ottomas, one of the Ottomas twins and sister of Miłosz from previous stories. Her boyfriend, Kamil Gavigan, came to see her with his father, Nathan.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, young lady."
Kamil didn't want to wait for the proposal so he did it in front of her house. Of course, she said "Yes!"
"I can't believe it's the second time Ottomas girl marries my son! Isaiah also wouldn't believe it!" - Nathan was laughing about it but Mirosława and Kamil weren't happy that he mentioned Isaiah. Everyone knows that he and Sharla had a difficult relationship and he died in a mysterious fire when she just got off to work.
"Dad, don't mention Isaiah again. It's different this time. Mirka is a better Ottomas daughter." - Kamil was so sure of his fiance. - "And we know that you secretly meet with Sharla. I want you to be careful."
"Don't worry. Sharla is not that bad girl."
Just Tessa Ramirez enjoying her new office.
She can enjoy books and tea in silent room.
I'll comback with more stories but I need to find more inspiration :)
Ernest woke up early and his crying woke up also everyone else. Paulina got out of bed to calm him.
"Who is so fussy?" - she talked to him. "I know it's your birthday today but you shouldn't be so demanding." - she laughed and took him downstairs to give him a bottle.
Afternoon she bought a cake and took Ernest to blow his first candles. Only the closest family was here. When the time came, she helped him and Ernest turned out to be a true Ottomas baby. Her genes didn't even try (just look at him…)
She was so happy looking at him growing up. He's everything for her.
Immediately she rolled a want to teach him walking so they started to practice.
"I wonder who you'll become one day." - she thought.
Hiacynta heard about the birth and she visited her old house. Paulina was still sleeping so her sister was just wandering around the place and finally, she met the father of her nephew.
"Oh, I think I know you from someplace. Or maybe I spoke to your twin sister. I'm not sure. But nice to meet you." - she said to him. Miłosz was fascinated with the younger sister of his partner. Hiacynta was saying what she thought, she was funny and quirky. She recently married Sebastian Ramaswami but she's known for many romances. Miłosz knew all of that but when he saw this woman… He was lost. She was younger and hotter than her sister. He was in trouble but he tried to think that he just had a baby and he must be responsible for his family.
He went to work and in the evening, the sisters finally had some time together in the jacuzzi.
"Miłosz should be promoted today. He's working so hard. I'm glad I baby-trapped him." - Paulina laughed. It was her initial plan but she started to love him.
"I'm happy for you even if you destroy his life." - Hiacynta made a snarky comment.
"At least I'm not romancing with my in-law." - Paulina responded. "Is the child Sebastian's or his father's?" - she continued.
"Of course, it's Sebastian's!" - younger sister seemed offended. She liked romances and her older sister knew about everything, but she was still careful. "But I don't know if I want to raise it." - Hiacynta added.
"What do you mean?"
"Uhh… Family life is not for me." - she casually said.
"Not for YOU? And what do you want to do? Just leave your son and go to another dude? Are you insane?!" - Paulina was mad at her sister. Romances are fun but she married the guy and had a child with him. It seemed so irresponsible.
"I KNOW!" - Hiacynta screamed. "But I don't know what to do. Probably I will just leave him and pay child support." - she shrugged. Paulina was outraged.
"I can't listen to it. You just play with every man you meet!" - the older sister left the jacuzzi and went inside. She couldn't listen to this BS. She knew she was not better with her baby plan but at least she was responsible for her choice.
Hiacynta was left alone in the hot tub but not for long. Paulina went to take a bath and Miłosz came to her sister to join her in the jacuzzi. He was a little bit surprised that she was sitting there naked. She wasn't bothered with him. It looks like she doesn't care what people think, she's doing what she wants.
"Do you mind if I join you?" - he asked.
"No."
"I'm glad that you joined our family." - Hiacynta said with a soft voice. "I think it may be beneficial for all of us." - she smiled. Miłosz knew what was going on but he didn't stop her. She looked so beautiful in the moonlight, with shiny drops of water on her face.
"Can I come closer?" - she whispered. Miłosz only nodded. Hiacynta came closer to him and started to draw something with her finger on his wet arm. "I see how you're looking at me. I don't mind it also." - she smiled again and looked deeply into his eyes. He knew he was trapped with her charm but he liked that a lot.
In just a moment, they were cuddling. She still was whispering to his ear.
"Everyone is sleeping. It will be our little secret"
They were making out in the moonlight. No one could hear them inside. Miłosz wasn't resisting. He wanted this to happen.
After a while, Hiacynta got dressed and left Miłosz alone in a hot tub. He started to feel guilty and he knew he made a mistake. He was thinking about Ernest, about Paulina, and how it will affect them. He knew that they didn't have to know what happened but he felt like he hurt them and they had no idea about it.
"I ruined everything." - he whispered to himself.
Miłosz found a job and started to get to know his "in-laws". He wanted to impress them with something.
He played chess with Matthew and tried his best. The head of the Picaso family started to liked him.
"I'm happy that my daughter met you. You seem like a great guy." - he heard during last part of chess.
They even had great time playing video games! Miłosz felt like he was more and more belonging to this family. He also was felling more and more in love with Paulina. It was something new to him. He was loved, he had a baby on the way and he started forking in SCIA what was his dream.
"Matt, I think I'll marry your daughter after the baby is born." - he said.
"That's what I expected." - Matt said not surprised.
Next morning Paulina felt contractions. That was the time!
Welcome, Ernest Ottomas!
She was so happy when she saw her child. It happened! She had a son!
Miłosz immediately welcomed a baby and when Paulina saw how he interacts with Ernest, she deeply fell in love with him. It was so cute, it melted her heart and she started to dream about being his wife and having even more kids. The dream almost came true.
"Who is so cute?" - Miłosz was asking the baby. Of course Ernest was the cutest in the room!
Paulina felt exhausted with labour so she handed Ernest to Matthew.
"Meet you grandpa, honey!" - she said to baby. Matt was happy to see his second grandchild (because previously Paulina's sister had a baby).
"Hello, Ernest! We're glad we can finally see you."
Jessica also came to see her granchild. She was delighted that Picaso family is growing and that Paulina finally found a partner. It was too good to be true.
"I hope you will like us." - she said to Ernest.
After some time, Paulina's belly had grown. She was happy her plan succeed but also she thought that it would be nice to inform Miłosz about it.
Even if he didn't want that baby, she will raise it. She just wanted to be sure if he wants to participate in upbringing or not. Maybe they could try to be a family even after one gathering.
"Hmm... I think I can make it. I'm shocked that we're parents so fast." - he didn't hide his shock.
"If you want, you can move in and see if it's for us. If not then probably we will have shared custody or something. I don't know. I just wanted you to know about this child." - Paulina explained. It would be nice to raise a baby together because she really liked Miłosz. Maybe it's not a true love but some kind of situationship.
"You know what? It's not a bad idea! I think I want to be with you and baby. I just feel like I'm speedrunning life." - he laughed. It was clearly too fast because they didn't even properly fell in love but maybe that's how it should be?
"I'll grab my things from home. And I'll quickly find a job."
"I won't leave you and the baby. Maybe it was meant for us."
Paulina Picaso woke up today with a want to have a baby. She's an adult woman but there was a problem... She was single. She left two men already and now they have their families. She quickly thought about all men she knew and turned out that she and Miłosz Ottomas had something in common. She didn't hestitate and called him to see each other.
"I didn't know you're into games!" - Miłosz was so excited. He felt like he finally found someone who is a big fan of SSX.
"Yeah..." - she said quietly because she was lying. She just wanted to trap someone into her game. The baby fever was high enough.
"Listen, do you want to go with me to jacuzzi? We will have a private talk..." - she asked in a flirty way. Her parents were nearby and she felt a little bit embarassed.
"Yeah, sure!" - Miłosz was still full of excitement. Probably because someone finally acknowledged him. He tried his best with Gaja Dreamer and Jaśmina Delarosa but they dumped him and married "Chads" from Terrano and Goth families.
Paulina was fast in her plan. After few topics, she started to coax and quickly Miłosz was in her arms.
"Do you like it?" - she asked.
"I've never felt better." - he answered. Even if the baby plan won't succeed, she still felt like she's having a good time.
She kissed him and she was happy that the plan is working. Paulina was like a spider, trapping innocent man in her web. He was lost and she knew that there is only one thing to check off.
"Do you want to have REAL fun now?"- she whispered.
"You won't believe." - he answered.
In the evening Jerzy started to apply for scholarships. He slightly improved his grades and felt ready to begin his life as a student.
After filling all papers, the laptop broke so he wanted to repair it but he was unskilled. Immediately he was electrocuted and the fire started.
He was on the death's door. His mother also came, frightened for his life but turned out she was in fire too. What a day! She just had birthday and now quick death?!
At least they had a fifre alarm in the living room so firefighters came quickly. They extinguished Melody and Jerzy, and whole furniture. Everything and everyone was saved so after cooling down, taking a shower and resting a little bit, Dirk was asked to fix the laptop (he has the max skill points in mechanics) and Jerzy could again start singing for college.
When he finished applying, his parents came to say goodbye.
"We're proud of you and we hope that you'll have a great time at university."
The taxi came.
Jerzy stopped by taxi's open doors and thought a while. He was excited but also scared. He dreamed about his career, his future and of course Marta Broke, his love who already moved to campus. His future seemend to be open as those doors and he could've embraced it or remained scared and forfit his ambitions.
"I'm going to do this." - he said to himself and got into car.
When the taxi left, Dirk made a fire in fireplace and sat down with Melody. They were enjoying quiet Sunday evening but also started to miss Jerzy.
"I hope he will be ok... I think we raised him fine, didn't we?"
"Yeah, he's a great boy."
The talk with Jerzy helped, he improved his grades a little bit and another important issue came this weekend - birthday parties of Dirk and Melody.
On Saturday morning they had a talk about recent inheritance and form of the party.
"... and Gaja is taking a house. I don't mind because we have one already and she was growing up there."
"Oh yeah, she will need that. They really need some space for them and baby. But I wanted to ask about your birthday today. Do you want a party or just a small gathering?"
"Hmmm... I think you can invite everyone, your dad and siblings too. That would be nice to see whole family."
Melody invited her father, Simona and Stanisław, Eulalia with Malcolm and Gaja for birthday party. Meanwhile Dirk and Jerzy could talk alone.
"Thanks dad for helping me with homework. I didn't have a chance to tell you that. It was a lot recently..."
"No worries. I'm glad I could help. We were worried about you and I think that's why mom lectured you. You have a bright future in front of you."
"Thanks... I really appreciate that."
As soon as the first guest crossed the threshold, the party started. Dirk made a wish and blowed the candles.
He was delighted to see his family gather again after an unfortunate passing of his father and his wife, Cassandra. Looking back at his troubled past, he finally felt reassured embracing his family like he had never before.
Now he can emerge as a head of a family, understanding his role as a quirky but wise old man (great sense of style!)
The next day much more quiant party had been thrown at Dreamer's house. Melody only wanted her father and siblings to be present that day.
Melody reached an important milestone. She acted as though her age doesn't bother her but deep inside she longed for her younger days when she had more strenght (but she still has great styling choices).
Sunday was slowly coming to an end...
Finally this day happened. Gaja Dreamer, after breaking up with Dante Lotario, can marry love of her life, Apollo Terrano. What a beautiful ceremony 😍
Everyone was here...
...even Nina Lotario who came to insult bride (I don't have photos of that unfortunately).
They also started family really fast!
For context: Gaja is a daughter of Cassandra and Darren Dreamer. Dante is a son of Don and Nina. Apollo is son of Stella and Phineaus Terrano (formerly Furley).
Otis really want to play with Malcolm Landgraab VI. Why does he have to sleep?!
I had to save this moment 🥰
