Hello readers!!
Its Dahlia, and I have a very important announcement.
I am ending the Bloome legacy, because well, I don't know how to put it, but I really have lost motivation...
But I will be coming out with a new Sims 3 Story, or as I call it, a SimsSoap (a soap opera for Sims 3).
The link will be up in the next post :)

Chapter 1.4
Chapter 4, Generation 1
Goodbye?
Jack was working hard to earn his place with Alex. He spent his time cleaning everything that could be cleaned, and making her dinner (well, they didn't have a stove yet so he made her cereal).
Today, in particular, was the day he planned to marry Alex. It had been a year since they got engaged, and they had fallen deeply in love.
His plan was to build them a house while Alex was at work, and she would be so elated she couldn't say no.
And the plan began, and he build them a plain old shack filled with everything they already had, except he bought a double bed so they no longer had to sleep in shifts, plus walls and a roof.
Jack was pretty proud of himself when he saw the finished product. Even though it was the equivelent of a shack, it inspired Jack to be the best carpenter, considering he wanted to max out 3 skills.
Alex was so surprised and elated they had a private wedding in front of their new home.
They didn't even care that he was wearing his old beat-up jeans and his shirt covered in sawdust and she was wearing her frumpy work uniform.
It was a romantic occasion, Jack had been practicing his vows in the mirror while Alex was at work.
Alex was so charismatic, she had made one up on the spot, and it may have been better than Jack's!
After the rings were exchanged, they had their first kiss as a married couple. They never really were over affectionate towards eachother, but it just made this kiss all the more special.
A FEW MONTHS LATER
Jack was spending most of his time at home, where he pretty much did whatever he wanted, considering he did not have a job.
He spent a lot of time singing in front of the mirror, though he wasn't very good. It was one of the skills he planned to master, he was a virtuso after all.
Unfortunately, as fun as this was for Jack, it wasn't very fun for Alex. She was the only one working, and she still had a pretty measly income, so there would be no stove (or guitar for Jack) for quite a while.
So Jack wasn't the best roomate for a neat, hardworking woman such as Alexandria.
Not only was Jack unemployed, he was also a major slob.
Alex even caught him licking the remainders off a dirty plate...
It was starting to make her angry, she wanted to make a good impression on her collegues, considering they would want to meet him once she starts campaigning.
But Alex was so in love with him, and the fact that she was married, she chose to ignore it all.
Soon she was noticing she was having to wear looser and looser clothes, just to fit her buldging stomach. She had no second guesses on what was happening-- (she couldn't be gaining weight, she ate like a bird) she must be pregnant with her first baby.
But the problem was, she didn't know how she would tell Jack-- she specifically remembered him getting ticked off by some little kids when they went to a picnic at the park.
She decided to put the subject gently.
"Jack, we are having a baby,"
He showed no emotion.
"Jack," she repeated.
"This is wonderful!" Jack yelped as he pulled her into a hug.
5 MONTHS LATER
Alex was getting moodier and moodier. She finally snapped at Jack once he complained about having to fix the shower:
"Jack, you can't be complaining! I'm the one who supports us, and we still barely have a home! How do expect us to be able to take care of a baby when we have no room!"
"Why don't we move into a larger house?"
"Because, we can't afford one because you don't have a job!"
"My job is fixing everything in the house, and being your husband, which currently is getting hard to do!"
"Try harder then!" Alex yelled, enable to keep her anger subdued.
And so called a taxi, and he was gone.
5 MONTHS LATER (again)
Alexandria was starting to find it tough to be alone. She hated not having someone to wake up next to in the morning. She hated not being able to hold someone in her arms. She hated how he left. He hated how she made him leave. She hated herself for making him leave.
But then, when she was outside washing the dishes, she felt the worst pain she had ever experienced: her waters breaking.
She felt like she couldn't move, or reach into her pocket and get her phone to call the ambuelence.
So that was when she knew this was the time she needed Jack the most, and she cried--she cried because of the physical pain, and the emotional pain.
ONE YEAR LATER
Time has passed, but Alexandria had not moved on. She even considered called Connor again, but she was sure, that just like all her friends, he had found his other half. But of course, so did Alex. But he was gone. He left her more than just a broken heart. He left her a son, a beautiful boy named Brady Bloome.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey readers, this is Dahlia, and I can't decide if I want to continue this legacy or not, and if I don't I will start a Sims story, so please vote in the sidebar~ thanks xox Dahlia

Chapter 1.3
Chapter 3, Generation 1
A Change Of Heart
It was about seven by the time Alexandria arrived at the Bistro.
"Before we sit down, I have something to tell you, Connor." she said quietly as she gently smoothed some stray auburn hairs back.
"Yes, anything, but I am starved, what do you think you will get?" Connor responded. He was more open now than when he was in front of City Hall, however he was ignoring the question.
When she looked at Connor, he was staring expectantly at her, waiting for her response. He knew it wouldn't be good.
"Connor, I think we should just be friends. I don't know if I can go through with this," she said, trying to back up her quivering words with strength.
"What?"
"I know you heard me..."
You and I will be great together, we both love books, and we are both just awkward people trying to get along with life. Let's face it, we probably aren't going to find anyone else." He shouted as he stormed off.
Alexandria looked down at her shoes, unable to form words.
How could he say that to me?
What does he mean I won't find anyone else?
What about-
No.
Not him. He's just....
These thoughts raced through Alexandria's mind as she ate alone, just like usual.
Thought Alexandria knew Connor was partially true about her awkwardly stumbling her way through life, she knew what was right and she knew she had to be able do what she wanted, and what was right for her, and her future.
She couldn't lie to herself anymore.
As soon as she finished her lonely meal, she walked out to the street and hailed a taxi.
It was time for her to face the facts and go to where she was supposed to be.
As she arrived in front of the house, she mustered up all of her courage and walked forward to ring the doorbell.
The home had a comforting feel to it, despite the cold colors in the paint and stone.
Then she heard footsteps coming to the door, and the door creaked open.
"Hey, looks like Alex decided to drop by," he said.
"Oh, hello Jack, may I come in?" she said awkwardly.
"Anything for my hobo buddy," He said, holding the door open for him, quite gentlemanly.
The inside of the house was like the outside, strangely welcoming, like coming to a place you have never been before, but you know that's where you should be.
She followed him into the den.
"So what's up," he said, raising his ice-blonde eyebrows.
"I just broke it off with the guy I was seeing tonight,"
"I thought so,"
"Okay, I am going to be completely honest here," Alexandria gulped, "I cannot deny that I am totally attracted to you,"
"Hmm, I feel the same way," he grinned.
So Alexandria boldly leaned forward to give into her inner desires and kiss him.
"Woah, slow down there, speedy, whatcha think you're doing," he laughed.
"I thought you felt the same way I did,"
"Yeah, I do,"
"Then why-"
"Well, Alex, you just broke it off with your to-be boyfriend, and I have too much self confidence to be someone's rebound."
She was taken aback. A month back, he was practically throwing himself at her, and now he was saying no?
"But I've always felt like this, I just haven't shown it until now! Jack, I've let my guard down for you, and you are the first person I've ever done that for!"
"I really like you Alex, and as much as I want to hold you in my arms, just... just... not yet. I don't want to be a rebound, like I said." He stated sadly.
He walked away, and Alexandria could have sworn she saw a tear slip down his cheek.
He crouched down on the couch, and covered his freckled face with his hands.
Alexandria hurried outside, and she stood at the edge of the sidewalk, her frown was plastered to her face. Her shoulders were slumped instead of the usual prim-and-proper stance they normally represented.
She stood and stared for a while, time seemed to slow down, and then she felt a hand on her shoulder.
She turned around and snapped out of her daze.
It was Jack.
"I can't be without you, I sat down and I knew that this would be my only chance of being with someone I am so drawn to," he shrugged.
"Jack, thank you,"
"I don't know what I was thinking, I was just surprised, all I want is you, and I've made a big decision, I-"
"It's okay, Jack, I just-
Their words were jumbling together and Jack was nervously fiddling for something in his pocket, when Alexandria leaned forward and pulled him in a tight embrace.
They held each other for a long time, and she inhaled his cologne deeply.
It was perfect. She never wanted to let go. At that moment, she forgot about everything- her job, Connor, her hobo-esque living conditions.
Then he let go and said something she had been waiting to hear her whole life:
"Alex, I don't know what love is like, but I can tell you honestly that this is the strongest I have ever felt for someone."
Alex covered her mouth.
"I think I love you, Alex," He whispered.
Then he began to fiddle with his pocket.
And he got down on one knee.
And he opened a small, light blue box.
"This is my mothers ring I have kept with me for someone, for you, who captures my heart. And before you say no, I am not asking you to marry me. I this may be an engagement ring, but this ring is a promise. It is a promise that I care for you more than any material posession, and possibly more than I care for myself. I knew when I first met you that the chemistry between you and I was special. It took me that ten minutes to realize all this, and I know this may be quick, but I don't want to let you go. This ring represents for me a promise that I have made to never stop loving you. There is no one else for me. For you, it represents that you agree to this and that you want to be with me. Even if you say no, I will still feel the same. So will you take this ring, Alex?" he stated, his face glowing.
Alexandria's mouth hung open, and she covered her gasp with her hands.
Was this what I had been drawn to Sunset Valley for? Can I handle this? Can I reciprocate these feelings? she thought.
Her instinct kicked in, and she screamed the most important word ever:
YES.
A Change Of Heart
"Before we sit down, I have something to tell you, Connor." she said quietly as she gently smoothed some stray auburn hairs back.
"Yes, anything, but I am starved, what do you think you will get?" Connor responded. He was more open now than when he was in front of City Hall, however he was ignoring the question.
