Chapter 13- "The Defender"

Brando was settling into school life just fine. He was getting into a habit of coming home and doing homework, and even brought a friend home after his first couple days. Her name was Ida Lin-Dean and she a was a very cute little girl.



He was also a genius, and loved to play chess.




And he had a soft side. When Alexis found out that she was pregnant with Moretti baby number five, Brando constantly hugged his mom and felt the baby kick.



Bella realized that she loved to exercise. She didn't have an athletic trait, but every evening after her homework she would turn on the TV and and do some cardio workouts.




Giovanni and Angelica shared a birthday shortly after Brando and Bella's birthdays. Angelica was now a child, and got the photographers Eye trait.



Giovanni became a very handsome toddler.



Alessandra (meaning: "The defender") was born at home in the middle of the night. She was born with the couch potato and clumsy traits. Some defender...



Brando had taken up an interest in astrology and even founded his own star before becoming a teenager. He soon realized that his Lifetime Wish was to become an astronaut, which apparently is the highest level in the Military career track.



Alexis wished for more children. She could barely keep up with the 5 she had. Bella was taking care of the younger kids more and more, while Alexis was sleeping more and more.



Bella got a part time job at the bookstore. She even took Alessandra with her on her interview. She wasn't sure how she was supposed to work, go to school, AND help with all the kids in the family.



Alexis was going stir-crazy and decided to go tour the theater before Tony had to be at work.



That night, Alessandra had her birthday and was now a toddler.



Alexis noticed that the same woman had been standing on her doorstep all day. She soon realized that it was the paparazzi. Alexis was beginning to become famous for her writing. She walked outside to ask the woman to please stop taking pictures of her children. Suddenly, the woman started screaming! She was in labor. Alexis couldn't think of any other way to get the woman to leave than to take her to the hospital.



As if the night weren't weird enough, when Alexis returned home she was greeted by two strangers. She asked them what they needed and the woman started praising Alexis as if she were God himself! She discussed Alexis' many published books, and wouldn't shut up! Then she began discussing all of her traits that she had in common with Alexis. Alexis finally just walked inside without saying goodbye. She had babies to tend to.



Upstairs, Brando was having a birthday. He was now a teenager and acquired the Flirty trait.



To top off the entire night, Alexis found out that she was pregnant once again, with baby number six.

Oh. My. God. I hope Alexis is done having babies, because we can't fit anymore in this house! The kids are growing up so FAST that I am sure the last few chapters will be more about them aging up than anything else. We are expecting 3 birthdays in the next 5 sim days. Stay tuned :)
