2. Keiko roamed the halls of the greek house.Even in death she'd
protect the Lynns. _____ Note: most of this chapter you might
notice something odd- the fourth gen has different clothes! 3.
Talin followed her.If there was a way to remove someone's presence
forever, so they couldn't even come back as a ghost, Opal would
figure it out and use it on Keiko, and Talin refused to lose Keiko
again. _____ Note continued: Well, that's because stupid me forgot
to make a back-up that had the fourth gen still in collegeandVenus
already born and her hospital built. 4. Jade Stratton was roaming
the greek house too, though not as a ghost.She was the newest
pledge, and as the placeholder for the house for the kids of
spares, she expected to be married in and invited to the greek
house parties. _____ So just ignore the clothes-change. 5. Tara
Shaw was exploring the greek house, too, to prepare to move in at
the end of the year. 6. Opal looked down at Venus.The doctors had
said she could be off the incubator for short periods of time, and
as Opal had studied to become a doctor and bought an incubator she
knew she could keep Venus alive till she was an adult. 7. She
reached in and took Venus.She'd move her to the incubator at home
as quick as possible, and then be back to place a fake,
dead-looking version of Venus.It'd be so realistic- still warm for
a couple hours, with a bit of Venus's blood even- that not even a
doctor would be able to tell that it'd never been alive. 8. Opal
walked towards the door, her heart pounding.She was going to make
it... 9. Ring!!! Aria picked up the phone.Hello? Hello, is this
Aria Bohemian? Yes. We're sorry to inform you that your daughter,
Venus, died today. 10. Aria cried.How will I get Fir to marry me
despite me not being legacy legal without Venus?How will I get
Lyndsay killed? 11. Bring!!! Tosha got up to go get the
phone.Hello? Tosha, it's Puddinroy.I just thought you should know
that the doctors said Aria's baby died. Tosha blinked.Oh...
okay.Well, bye. Bye. 12. Tosha hung up the phone.Something about
this seemed wrong... 13. Who was it? Otieno asked as Tosha sat back
down. Just a wrong number, Tosha lied.Otieno didn't know anything
about Tosha's involvement with Aria or Puddinroy, or even that they
existed, and she planned to keep it that way. 14. I'd hoped someone
had figured out part of the prophecy, Otieno sighed. The
prophecy!Tosha's mind screamed, trying to tell her something. How
did it go again?All will be lost if you don't heed my words/The
seed shall live, despite what will be heard... 15. Could the seed
be Aria's baby?But the doctors said she was dead, and why would
they be wrong?Unless... could they have lied? 16. Suddenly her
thoughts were interrupted by another phone- this time Otieno's.
Hello?Oh, hi Tristessa! 17. No... Otieno's voice suddenly turned to
a whisper, and he started to sob. 18. Tosha got up and put her arm
around her husband.What did she say? she asked. Keiko's dead,
Otieno cried, breaking into a new round of sobs. 19. Tosha
straightened herself.Dead?Their Keiko... dead? 20. She started
crying with her husband. 21. Otieno remembered his mother's death
giving birth to him, and it occurred to him that Tristessa was his
only child, and that she was in danger too. 22. We can't let
Tristessa died, Otieno said resolutely to Tosha.Even if that means
no grandkids. 23. Otieno spent the next few days painting Keiko.She
wouldn't be forgotten for as long as there were Flynns in this
house. 24. And finally Keiko's painting was done, and hung besides
Brooke's where Keiko could watch over the house. 25. You did a good
job, Otieno. 26. Opal!Have you been successful yet? Yes, and I'll
be coming home shortly to give you something.I trust you can watch
after a baby? 27. Baby? I made a deal with Aria Bohemian- her blue
baby with Fir if I kill Lyndsay.Unfortunately, Keiko- the younger
Flynn girl- stepped in the way, and now she's dead. 28. No loss
there.Getting the Flynn girl out of the way could even prove
helpful. Exactly, but Talin didn't think so.He tried to kill me, so
of course the only thing I could do was kill him. 29. Good.He has
no use to us if he's a traitor. Yeah...Well with Lyndsay still in
the picture and not stupid enough to be with me alone ever again, I
decided it'd be easier to just kidnap Aria's kid. 30. So you did?
Yep, and don't worry, I won't make the same mistakes Nathan
did.She's not missing as far as everyone's concerned- she's dead.
31. Also, we won't be leaving her unattended.Between me, you, Mom,
and the servo I built, there'll be enough people to watch her and
any baby I have, even though I'll be getting a job, and the servo
might get one, too. 32. She'll be kept in the attic, and I'll make
some more regeants soon in case anyone finds out she's actually
alive.We'll kill them on the spot. You've done good, Opal!Just as
long as we can keep her till she's an adult without problems, we'll
finally be able to accomplish our goals. 33. Gina cackled with
glee.After all, she'd only waited her whole life for this. 34.
Don't worry, my son.Even if your father has never cared for you and
your step-mother isn't saddened by your death... 35. ...I will
honor your memory.I won't forget you, Talin, no matter who does.
36. Hey, you know how you said our kids get simself powers? Robi
asked one day. Yeah, what about it? Well, I was wondering...what
exactly would that mean? 37. You know, hacks, cheats- that sort of
thing.And for their teen birthday I might give them a sim to
control, and when that sim gets a family they can control the whole
family.They won't have to oblige by my rules, either, about not
interfering, unless they want to.Their families will operate under
their rules. 38. So, basically like a simself from another 'verse?
Yep. 39. Did you go into buy mode while we were talking and build a
playground? Yeah.You reminded me I needed to start adding things
for our future kids. 40. I also bought a dog, Fang.Oh, and I added
some rooms for the kids! 41. 'Some rooms' doesn't normally mean a
three story house. I know, but our house doesn't have room to
expand.I was thinking of making three seperate houses, with a
kitchen and bathroom in each, but I figured they'd be fine sharing
a house. 42. They still have to eat with us and use our bathrooms.
If you have to give them their own house, couldn't you at least
have made it a complete one with a kitchen and bathroom? 43. And
wait-three -story house?Threeseparate houses?You plan on us having
three kids? Yep.That's how many I need for my lifetime want to
graduate three kids from college.Is that okay with you? 44. Yes,
but you're going to spoil these kids so much.Their own playground
to share, their own house to share, simself powers, a sim for each
to control,anda dog?Next thing I know you'll have gotten them all
their own personal computer! 45. Um... You did, didn't you? Yes?
46. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
Aria punched in the numbers frustratedly. 47. Hello, you've reached
Opal's cell phone.I can't answer right now, so leave a message and
I'll get back as soon as possible! 48. Aria didn't even bother
leaving a message this time, furiously slamming the phone back into
its hook. 49. Obviously, I can't depend on Opal to get rid of
Lyndsay for me. 50. I've lost Venus to death.And now I'm going to
lose Fir to Lyndsay. 51. But I won't give up.There'll be more Lynn
men made heirs and more chances, ones who aren't able to be warned
by the creator about me and who won't cheat on me. 52. I just need
to become legacy legal so that the creator doesn't warn them
anyway. 53. There has to be a way to become legacy legal without
her... 54. I asked Opal to do this, but obviously I have to do
everything myself. 55. After a few minutes of typing Aria rested
her hands and looked at the computer screen.Well, isn't that
interesting, she smirked. 56. Come on and Ease on down, ease on
down the road come on, ease on down, ease on down the road don't
you carry nothing that might be a load come on, ease on down ease
on down, down the road 57. Come on Ease on down, ease on down the
road(ease on down) Come on Ease on down, ease on down the road(ease
on down) 58. Don't you carry nothing that might be a loadCome on
Ease on down, ease on down, down the road 59. Pick your left foot
up, when your right foots down Come on lets keep moving and don't
you lose the ground You just keep on Keepin' on the road that you
choose Don't you give up walking cause you gave up shoes 60. Ease
on down, ease on down the road (come on) Ease on down, ease on down
the road Don't you carry nothing that might be a load Come on Ease
on down, ease on down, down the road 61. Cause there may be times
when you think you lost your mind And the steps you're taking leave
you three four steps behind But the road you're walking might be
long sometimes You just keep on stepping and you'll be just fine
(yeah) 62. Ease on down, Ease on down the road (ease on down) Ease
on down, Ease on down the road (ease on down) Don't you carry
nothing that might be a load Come on Ease on down, Ease on down,
down the.... 63. For there may be times, when you wish you wasn't
born And you wake one morning just to find your courage gone but
you know that feeling only last a little while you just stick with
us we'll show you how to smile (yeah) 64. Get 'em up, goin' down
(ease on down the road) Get 'em up, goin' down (ease on down the
road) 65. Get 'em up, goin' down(ease on down the road) Get 'em up
get 'em up (ease on down the road) 66. Robi and I finally got
married... 67. Robi and I spent our honeymoon like any married
couple... 68. And the results were fast-coming. Woah, that was
quick. Yeah, well, I refuse to spend more than a couple of minutes
pregnant if I can help it, and since I'm a simself, I can help it.
69. Yep, I'm having a baby, and already in my third trimester and
it's only been a few minutes.I'm so happy! 70. And now... not so
happy. 71. Aw, he looks just like me!His name is James. 72. Of
course being me, I wasn't going to have justonebaby. 73. Why have
only one at a time when you can have three at a time? 74. You
already know I want three of my kids to graduate from college, so I
had triplets so I'd only have to give birth once.This little guy's
John, and he's the only one with Robi's grey eyes! 75. And here's
Sarah.She's already suffering from middle child syndrome- as in,
being ignored. 76. Time passes by so quickly, and soon the triplets
were becoming toddlers. 77. Sarah grew up bald, which, since I have
thick, long hair and love it, I don't consider good. 78. James and
John both seem to have thick and longish hair, like me. 79. Spoiled
kids that they are, they don't have to skill their toddlerhoods
away. 80. No, they got cheated half their skills, and the other
half will be cheated later. 81. This leaves them free to enjoy the
playground I built them! 82. Opal smiled down at the little girl in
her arms.A nice, genuine smile.She'd realized early on that Venus
trusted her only when she smiled genuinely and was kind to her.
Ready to go home, Venus?You've been playing here for hours. Dwess,
then home, mommy, Venus answered. 83. Opal put her on the changing
table and helped her into her dress, then picked her back up.
There, all better now!Are you ready to go home now? Venus nodded.
84. Venus snuggled up to her mom. She looks so much like
Fir...Maybe I shouldn't bring her to the play center anymore. 85.
Venus, tomorrow let's play at home, okay? 'Kay, Mommy. The
End!Sorry it's sort of short, but next chapter will be extra long
to make up for it!
