I have decided to pursue a career in the Music Industry. It was either Music or Fisherman... don't ask. I chose Music.
My lifetime wish is to become a Chess Master, so I spend a lot of time practicing. I thought it was time to invite over my first ranked opponent. I was excited when I realized that Giovanni is actually my mom's brother. I don't remember ever meeting him, it was nice.
Except that he beat me. I thought for sure I would win, I was in a great mood, and I had mastered the logic skill as a teenager! I didn't let it get to me though, I will get the last laugh, because I am the one who will live for hundreds of years and I am bound to be a Chess Master in that length of time.
I run into Alysia a lot, even now that we are grown. She is still a good friend of mine, but nothing more. I do enjoy spending time with her.
I fixed her TV because she asked me to. I tried to stop her from giving me the $500 in "payment" for helping a friend, but as we parted ways she must have shoved it in my back pocket. I found it later that night.
For work, I had to learn the guitar skill. I mastered it in a little over 2 hours.
I wanted more than that, I wanted a band. I went to the only person I knew who palyed- my dad. He agreed that it was be fun to start a band, we are called "The Angry Vampires" hahaha! Eh, I guess you had to be there...
The house is coming along nicely. I designed the living room myself! Dad paid for it because I am only making around $125 a day so far, but it looks nice doesn't it?
Being single isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I might be Family Oriented, but I have my whole life to have a family! I am young, and I love doing what I want when I want to.
I can play guitar in the park, go out for drinks, and watch as much TV as I want. I have no one to answer to, and so far, I like it that way.
I invited Uncle Giovanni over for a chess rematch. I had a great time, mostly because I won. It was fantastic!
(That's my CHECKMATE face)
A few days passed and I decided to challenge another opponent. Neil showed up. I knew just from seeing him that I would crush him... and I did.
After the game, my mom asked Neil to stay. I had to go to work, so I left shortly afterward. When I got home, Nicole told me what mom had done. I always knew she was a gracious hostess, but I didn't expect her to do what she did!
She flirted with Neil right in front of my dad. Dad was devastated. Dad got really mad and asked Neil to leave. He still isn't talking to my mom.
We have been so preoccupied with decorating our new house, that we completely forgot about paying the bills. I got a final notice right after I started remodeling to kitchen. We had $30 and our utility bill was $900, and we had only 1 day to come up with the money. I didn't want to undo all of my hard work on the kitchen, so I worked a little overtime, and mom offered her pension. The next day I looked at our funds, and we were $200 short and the repo man came. How embarrassing.
He took my chair from my chess table. A $100 chair to pay $900 debt? I laughed to myself and as soon as the repo man left, I bought a new chair and life was back to normal, except for the public disgrace.
**Thank you to itsjulie for providing me with the Moretti's new home**
Hey, I'm Vincent. I was chosen by my mother to be the Moretti heir, and I am determined to make the most of this time in the spotlight! My mom completed her lifetime wish when I was still a teenager. I could tell you all about my endless nights doing homework, or the fact that I played with my sister Nicole all the time, but that's just not my style.
Nothing fun really happens when you're a teenager, especially the son of a rich and famous actor. Anything I did wrong was publicly disgraced, and we always had paparazzi outside our house. In fact, not much has changed.
My parents decided to sell everything we owned to provide me, and future Moretti generations, with a large luxurious house and many bedrooms. They sold the house, the furniture, the nice cars all for this:
Bad picture. It was night time and I was tired. There was absolutely nothing in the house when my parents bought it. We used the last of the money to buy a few beds and a toilet and shower. That was about it. Dad has a great job and my mom gets a great pension, so we should have this place furnished in no time. It would have made a great bachelor pad if I wasn't living here with my parents and little sister.
Nicole became a teenager the first night we were settling into our new home. She got the neat trait, which mom likes because she says she is getting too old to clean the house (in my opinion, she never really cleaned...).
I have no girlfriend, no bachelor pad, and no job. My name is Vincent Moretti and this is my story...
"Honestly?"
"Honey, I promise, you still look as young and attractive as the first time we met!"
"Liar."
I was so self conscious. This was what I dreaded about marrying a vampire. I am aging so much faster than Damien, it's scary. I hate to imagine leaving him here alone with the children when I die. If I was smart, I would have had Damien turn me into a vampire when I was young and beautiful... but I didn't and I think it's a little too late now.
I've been working on getting my last promotion at work, and spending as much time with Nicole as possible. I know I could pass away any time now, and I hope she will know how much I love her when I do.
Vincent spends most of his free time reading. He really enjoys it. He got the slob trait when he became a teenager, and the house is really taking a hit. We lost our butler Sarah in a weird event that I am still confused about. It is like she just disappeared off the face of the Earth!
I took up painting in my spare time. I painted one picture but decided I just do not have the patience or talent to be a great painter. I never have had the urge to paint again.
It seems like just yesterday that Nicole was born, but now she's a toddler! She is growing like a weed!
I quickly got started potty training her. She is a fast learner, and she is now completely trained. It didn't take long at all, maybe a day?
Vincent is becoming good friends with Alysia Tart, who lives down the street. I know they aren't being romantic or anything, but she sure is pretty and wouldn't make such a bad daughter-in-law. Hey, a woman can wish right?
She is really good with Nicole...
It was recently Nicole's birthday, we threw her a party and had a great time!
I just fulfilled my lifetime wish, and now I have to choose an heir to carry on my mother's legacy. I need to do it quickly, because who knows how long I will be around. I am not sure if I should pick Vincent because he is the oldest or my children? Or Nicole, to carry on the trend of woman heirs.
**Check out the Generation 2 page to see each child's traits and pictures, please vote for the next Moretti heir**
"Finished!" I heard Damien say while I was chatting with Vincent in the bathroom.
He had finished a portrait of me, of hung it in the living room with Vincents portrait. Damien wanted to keep my legacy alive after I was gone, and being heiress was another reason to paint a beautiful portrait of me.
I decided to work on my athletic skill as much as possible before I started showing. I ran almost nonstop. I was so close to getting promoted.
After my belly started showing, I trained Damien. It gave me a sense of worth during this time. I couldn't do much but I love exercise!
I worked on my reports while pregnant as well. I was falling behind on them, so I rummaged through everyone's trash and found a lot of evidence! It seemed like all I did was type up reports, but that was okay with me because I was so exhausted from the pregnancy.
And then there was Alysia... She walked to the garbage as I was rummaging. I thought I would be busted.
To my surprise, she didn't even say anything. She set down her ice cream and walked back inside. I sighed with relief and continued..
She must have told her dad, because he came out next.
"Ma'am, what are you doing?"
"Oh, I'm just um.. looking for something."
"What could you possibly be looking for in a strangers trashcan?"
I didn't even answer him. I just ran away. I went home to shower, I felt disgusting.
After a long shower, I sat down to write some reports.
I was absolutely miserable. I was uncomfortable and my back hurt. I decided to get a deep tissue massage at the spa. It was so lovely!
Damien was working long hours and wasn't home much. I was spending a lot of time on the couch because I was too uncomfortable to do anything else.
I went into labor during my favorite show. Damien wasn't home and Vincent was due home any minute. I really didn't want him to see me in so much pain, but it was inevitable-
With Sarah's help, I delivered Nicole at home. She is beautiful!
We put Nicole in Vincent's room without thinking about the late night crying that she would be doing. Vincent wasn't thrilled.
Damien couldn't wait to have some alone time with Nicole. He woke up the first night with her. He was much better with Nicole than with Vincent. It is almost unfair, because Nicole will have a great relationship with her dad, whereas Vincent is still trying to become friends with him.
Then it was my birthday a few days later. Vincent and I had a joint party, he was becoming a teenager and me, an elder.
"I have to go to work, dear."
"Okay, I love you!"
"I love you too."
Damien left for work. We had just tried for a baby, and I hoped I got one. I would be an elder in 6 days, so I didn't have much time to get pregnant.
The next day Vincent became a child. His traits so far are Clumsy, Genius and Frugal. He has already decided on a lifetime wish which is to become a Chess Legend. He has to master his logic skill and become a Grand Master in chess.
Vincent spends most of his time reading. He loves books!
Damien has been spending a lot of time on the phone with Vanessa, I think that's her name. He wants to become friends with her... but I am starting to become suspicious.
Vincent was so excited for his first day of school. He woke up early and made sure he was ready. When the bus showed up, his face lit up and he ran out of the house. I hope he makes some friends.
The teacher must have really liked him, because he was sent to take permission slips to city hall. They must really trust him.
He came home and went straight to the chess table. He mastered his logic skill within a few hours. That is a great part of being a vampire, they learn everything really fast!
After chess, Vincent founded a few stars. His goal is five. He reminds me so much of my brother Brando, he is so smart and loves anything that involves logic.
Vincent saw his dad drinking plasma juice and was curious. He tasted the stuff. He didn't seem to mind it...
It had been a whole day since Damien and I tried for a baby. I wasn't having any symptoms, and I wasn't getting any younger! I talked with Damien about the possiblity of me not being able to get pregnant at my age.
"I am sure you are overreacting..."
"Well, it didn't take us more than one try with Vincent! Let's face it Damien, I'm OLD! I will be an elder in 5 days!"
"Well, are you sure you want another baby? Will you be able to care for it?"
"I am not sure, but I do want a baby. I know I won't live forever... and you will be young for a lot longer than I will. I can't explain the feeling, but I just have this nagging want to have a baby! It won't go away unless I do! Even if I die young, at least the children will have you..."
"I want you to be happy. You know I will help out" Come on, let's try one more time!"
The next day I was still having doubts about my ability to conceive a child. It was bugging me all day. Damien came home from work with a request.
"Let's go to The Grind and let loose a bit."
"I'm not in the-"
"Alessandra, come on. My agent called and said I need to go dance a while, and I wouldn't feel right at a dance club without you. It will be fun! Let's get your mind off of everything for a while. You are stressed out and could use some fun. Let's go."
Before I could say no, he had the car pulled out front and I got in. I wasn't in a great dancing mood, but what could it hurt? We drove down the road to the club and went inside. There was 2 other couples there dancing, and a couple people at the bar. Damien led me straight to the dance floor and we danced.
I was having more fun than I had thought I would. We danced for what seemed like 5 minutes, but ended up being 3 hours.
"I hope you had fun."
"I had a blast!"
"Good."
"Ugh, I'm not feeling so well now though."
"Are you getting motion sickness?"
"Maybe..."
When we got home I sat on the couch, but my stomach was turning. I felt awful.
And then...
