“The baby will be due any minute,” Allyson told her son as they ate the delicious breakfast she had prepared. she was becoming quite the cook, especially since she had a lot of free time. She was unemployed, so her main job was to be a mother.
“I can’t wait!” Alex said stuffing food into his face enthusiastically.
“Me neither,” Allyson said smiling down at her belly. She had become a very good mother and loved Alex dearly. She knew she would love her future children too. She had surprised herself with her motherly instincts, and like Tyler, was ready to have several more children.
Shirley was born the very next morning, and Allyson was thrilled to have a daughter. She was cute as a button, and Allyson couldn’t wait to bond with her as mother and daughter.
Tyler, of course, loved Shirley just as dearly as he loved Alex. He would spend minutes just gazing at her as he held her in his arms.
Alex was fascinated by his baby sister and loved to visit her in her crib. His favorite thing to do was make funny faces at her and try to get a reaction.
“Alex, let the baby sleep,” Allyson called, her mother senses tingling, all the way from the kitchen.
Shirley grew to be a beautiful little girl with golden blonde hair just like her mother’s. The two were especially close, as mother and daughter often are.
Shirley and Alex spent a lot of time together since they both liked intellectual pursuits. They loved to play chess together, but Shirley was never any match for Alex.
“Check mate!” Alex said proudly after winning yet another game.
“Again?!” Shirley whined.
“Maybe if you’re lucky I’ll let you win next time,” Alex teased.
“I want to win fair and square!” Shirley said with an indignant sniff.
“Have it your way,” Alex said, setting up the board for another game.
With two young children and Tyler’s full time job, he and Allyson struggled to find time together. He always made an effort to find time for her and still tried his best to keep her feeling special. He tried his best to give her enough attention to keep her happy, and she appreciated his efforts, although she was becoming rather bored.
Shirley was a very curious, intelligent little girl and loved to spend time using the science set. She and Alex often fought over it, but Tyler tried to make sure they shared. The two were growing intellects that needed to be nurtured, but sometimes their precociousness was overwhelming to their parents.
“Should you really be having another baby?” Shirley asked her parents one day. “Isn’t two children enough?” Tyler laughed at his daughter.
“Sometimes parents really want more than two children,” he explained patiently.
“Well, ok,” she said as if giving her permission. “But don’t be upset when you don’t have as much time as you used to.”
“Yeah, when will you have time to do icky parent things?” Alex chimed in. Tyler laughed again and smiled at his wife, but Allyson looked slightly unhappy.
Soon, another boy was born, and Alex was psyched to have a brother. Colin was a cheerful little boy who was very creative. The two boys got along very well, and Shirley got to be the proud older sister.
Things were getting hectic in the McEntire household, and soon another baby was on its way.
“I’m so excited to have another sibling!” Colin said, being his usual chipper self.
“I hope it’s not another boy,” Shirley said making a face.
“I hope it’s not another girl!” Alex retorted. Colin just sat there smiling at the prospect of being an older brother.
Colin was always cheerful and loved to use his activity table. He was very artistic, and loved to make a mess with all of the art supplies. He was good-natured and fun-loving, but also very creative. He, of course, was the most excited for the new sibling.
Soon Timothy was born. He was the first child to have his father’s red hair, but he was very much a mama’s boy. He was a shy child who liked to be alone. He was picked on in school and didn’t have many friends, but his parents and his siblings took good care of him and loved him dearly.
With now four children, the house was busier than ever. Tyler was now working as an eSport, programming in his spare time, trying to keep his wife satisfied, and being a father to several children.
Somehow he managed to find time to work out to reach his fitness goals. He was becoming very strong and muscular, and Allyson was quite enamored with his new physique.
He still tried to sweep Allyson off her feet, and occasionally succeeded.
“Oh, Tyler, you’re so spontaneous and romantic!” she squealed as he leaned her back in his arms.
“All for you,” he said staring at her intensely with fire in his eyes that he knew would make her swoon.
Allyson, who had used her time when she wasn’t caring for the children to increase her mischief skills found time to wreak havoc on Willow Creek by sneaking into houses only to clog drains and making voodoo dolls of unsuspecting neighbors.
“It looks just like her!” she said with glee as she held up the voodoo doll to admire it, with it’s button eyes and messy stitching.”I mean if she were bald and had a kind of squished, lop-sided head!” She laughed at her creation and proceeded to tickle the doll with mirth. It filled her with such excitement to think of the poor sim doubled over in laughter at her command.
Tyler and Allyson were very busy but somehow managed to find time for each other and their own interests and pursuits. They were seen by the town as the perfect, happy family, but despite Tyler’s efforts, Allyson was becoming disinterested. With another child on the way, which would leave even less time for romance, neither knew if they could sustain their image of familial bliss.
