thayerloveWelcome back to chapter thirty-four of the Cooke legacy. I apologize that it has taken me so very long to get this chapter out. I've been busy with all kinds of things. But, nevertheless here it is! -Haleigh [meadowthayer]
Hello, my name is Nate Cooke. I'm the only male in this picture, and I'm also your heir. The other three sims in the picture are my three sisters -- Norah, Nala, and Nicole!
This young lady here, as you may remember her, is my high school sweetheart Amaya. She and I got accepted into colleges that were too far apart so we decided it was best if we broke up. She's married now, and they're expecting their first child sometime in September.
But I'm not upset about losing Amaya because I now have this beautiful woman in my life. Her name is Arcadia and I'm falling for her very fast. We just have great chemistry together.
It didn't take very long for Arcadia and I to share our first kiss together.
I'm not the only one with romance in their lives though, my baby sister Nicole has fallen in love with a guy named Zack. They seem very happy, and he treats her well so I don't have any complaints about him.
My sister Nala has found the love of her life too, his name is Waylon. They fight like a married couple, but when they aren't fighting they seem very happy Together.
My twin sister Norah fell in love with one of my classmates and friends, JJ Tse. I wasn't to fond of my sister dating one of my friends, but they seem to get along so I won't interfere.
In fact, I was very surprised to see Norah propose to him. I was going outside to check the mail one afternoon when I saw her get down on one knee and propose.
After seeing my sister propose to her man, I realized something -- I wanted that to be me and Arcadia. I loved her more than anything, and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, so why hadn't I done this yet? So the next evening I invited her over and proposed -- she said yes!
And very soon, we all graduated college with honors and were off to start our lives!
My sisters all decided to move into this really nice apartment complex together, they didn't like the idea of being too far apart.
Nicole was the first one of us to get married.
Her and Zack had triplets! The girls were named Nevaeh and Norma Jean.
And their son was named Noah.
Nala and Waylon got married, which honestly surprised me a little bit since they fought so often in college.
They had twins - Mark and Marilyn!
Norah of course married JJ Tse, my old college buddy.
They had twins as well, Marla and Maegan. I wonder if this means that I'll have twins too since all of my siblings had twins or triplets.
And that brings us back to me. As soon as I moved back in with my parents I invited Arcadia over and asked her to move in with me.
She happily obliged and moved in right away.
We decided we didn't want to wait very long to get married, or at all really. So we got married the same night that we graduated college!
My Grandpa and two mothers were the only guests in attendance.
I wanted to make my Grandpa a Great-Grandpa so Arcadia and I wasted no time in trying to conceive our first baby.
My mother Maddie was the first one who noticed that Arcadia seemed to have a pregnancy glow. Arcadia wasn't showing anything other symptoms, but my Mom was convinced that Arcadia was pregnant.
Sure enough, Arcadia soon began showing signs of pregnancy soon there after.
I'm not sure if you guys remember Fuzzy the little kitten that was born shortly before the end of the last chapter, but this is what he looks like all grown up.
As the days went on, Arcadia began showing more symptoms of our first baby.
Unfortunately, my Grandpa died the day before my first baby could be born. I was sad that he wouldn't meet his great-grandbaby.
I was at work when my lovely wife went into labor, but luckily my Mother's were home to assist her.
My first chid was a baby boy who I was able to name when I got home from work. I decided on the name Owen for him.
But wait, what's this? Another baby! This one is a little girl. I let Arcadia name her. She chose to name her Odette, after the characters in one of her favorite movie's - The Swan Princess.
We have quite a bit of money so we were able to design the girls a beautiful nursery.
Oh my, it appears that my wife and I are expecting another child! We weren't planning to conceive again so soon after having our first child since they were twins after all, but I guess God had other plans for us.
Children seem to grow up so fast, and soon we were celebrating Owen and Odette's first birthday.
Owen turned out to be quite the handsome little boy with bit of a mean streak. [1/9/4/10/3]
Odette however is simply stunning and as nice as can be. [1/5/4/10/10]
Arcadia and I loved all the new experiences we were able to have being new parents.
Arcadia has been having a very easy pregnancy, which was a relief to us both since we have two toddlers running around the house.
Somehow Arcadia managed to take care of the twins, and still find time to play with the cat. Who, do to a strange glitch has an engagement ring in his paw.
Before we knew it, Arcadia was going into labor with our third child!
I had another son! A little boy named Oliver.
My other mother, Shanna, has been working on her job and she has been promoted to the top of her career track. Even in her old age she's still got it.
I can't believe it's already time for the twins to grow up, but it'll be nice to have them be a little bit more independent now.
They aged into beautiful children, don't you think?
It's also time for Oliver to age into a toddler.
He's quite the handsome one, isn't he? He has a personality similiar to his brother. [1/5/9/7/3]
Soon, I have completed my first lifetime want of becoming Education Minister.
Just in time for Oliver's birthday too.
He's a very cute child, and I can see a good deal of me and his mother in him.
Arcadia and I are expecting our fourth and final child now. We're both hoping for another little girl.
Now that Oliver is a child, I decided that I would try to get my three children into private schooling. The headmaster was very pleased with our family and let them in.
Arcadia's tummy is getting so large. I wonder if she's carrying triplets?!
It seems like birthdays happen around here all the time! It's time for Owen and Odette to have another birthday!
Owen grew into a nice looking teenager, and chose the aspiration of pleasure and a secondary aspiration of romance.
Odette aged into a stunning teenager, I think I need to head to the store and buy myself a rifle to keep the boys away from her. She has a good head on her shoulders and she chose the path of fortune with a secondary aspiration of popularity.
Despite being a pleasure sim, Owen was the first one to max out all of his skills.
But Odette was not far behind.
Time for the final baby of the O generation to be born.
Meet baby boy Orlando!
And also, baby boy Otto!
Now that she was off maternity leave, Arcadia was able to go to work and achieve her lifetime want of becoming the mayor.
The very next day, I achieved my second lifetime want of becoming captain hero.
It's time for my twin boys to become toddlers!
And it's also time for Oliver to grow into a teenager!
This is little Orlando. He had gorgeous hair, and my wife and I couldn't bear to cut it. He is a very clean sim. [10/7/4/5/3]
*Okay, so he was not named after Orlando Bloom for the record. But my boyfriend and I just watched the LotR trilogy and so I couldn't resist giving him long blond hair like Legolas.
Otto's hair wasn't as cute long so we decided to keep his hair short, but he's very handsome and also just as nice as his older sister. [1/10/4/4/10]
Oliver aged into a stunning teenager as well. He chose an aspiration of romance with a secondary aspiration of family.
As you can see, Orlando and Otto get along wonderfully.
Oliver was a little slower than his older siblings but he maxed his skills out as well.
Tabby has begun to show her age, I remember when my family first adopted her.
Felix has as well, since we got them at the same time.
I have to say, even though it makes me feel old. It's going to be nice not having anymore toddlers in the house. Because with this birthday of Orlando and Otto's that's exactly what is going to happen!
They're very handsome little boys, don't you agree? :)
I knew the time would come eventually, but I was very sad to see my mother Madeline pass on.
Almost as if from a broken heart, my other mother Shanna died a few days later.
But, that didn't stop me and Arcadia from having our birthday. We knew she'd want us to enjoy our last few moments as an adult.
Even in our old age, I think Arcadia is as beautiful as the first day that I met her and I still love her with all of my heart.
It's also time for Orlando and Otto to grow up!
Otto, my youngest child, has chosen a path of knowledge with a secondary aspiration of fortune.
And Orlando, who coincidentally looks like Legolas a bit, has chosen a path of romance with a secondary aspiration of popularity.
And with that, the chapter is over. Please head over to SiMania to vote for the heir/ess of generation O.
