Preparing for Change

Hey everyone! Thanks for coming back and reading the 100 Baby Challenge after so long! Unfortunately, I lost my 100 Baby Challenge data when my computer was cleaned out. BUT! I have a great way to keep the Sims that you know and love and a new way to keep the 100 Baby Challenge Story going. This is the last chapter I had from my original game, so next time you see Kira and her family, they will be different (but in a good way)! I hope you enjoy, and I'm looking forward to continuing the 100 Baby Challenge!

~Dear Ms. Jones,~

We write this letter to inform you of the request that you made earlier this year.

We are pleased to announce that the new city, Bridgeport, is now

fully developed and bustling with life in all hours

of the day (and night!).

We understand that you are part of the 100 Baby Challenge and

we respect that here in Sunset Valley, but people in Bridgeport

view you as quite a celebrity. To keep you and your family

from being bombarded by paparazzi when you arrive

to your new home, we would suggest changing your style a

little bit, you know, shake it up. Just wait for the buzz

to pass by, and get used to urban life, and then you can

go back to the way you are here in Sunset Valley if that

makes you more comfortable. We would also suggest

your children do a little mixing up too, so they can

get into school without a million questions.

We are sad to see you go, Ms. Jones, but we are enthralled that

you decided to take on this new lifestyle.

~Our best regards and love to you and yours~

The City of Sunset Valley Residents
and City Council Members

The letter tore my heart in two, but fused it together solidly

at the same time. My new house would be ready for

my children and I in Bridgeport; a new, sparkling city

with all of the main attractions and then some. This would

be our last day in Sunset Valley and I announced it to the

children as soon I as could get them into the same room

together and quiet.

All of the children were excited to be taking on the

next step in their life.

"Mom," Sage spoke up once I was done explaining the

packing and transporting process, "Why don't we buy cakes

for Sarah and I, so we can celebrate tonight and

appear in Bridgeport with new, mature eyes?"

"What a philosophical idea, Sage!" I exclaimed joyfully, proud

of my son for thinking out of the box. Sarah

was more than ready to grow up with Sage.

Both Sage and Sarah would be young adults, and Jackie would

remain a teenager. Seana, Kale, and Riley would remain toddlers,

and little Apple would age up once we got settled in Bridgeport.

Later that night, once we had packed everything into 3 extra large moving

trucks, spare a few wall decorations, some extra kid's furniture,

and a table, my two oldest were celebrating their birthdays!

Sarah and Sage smiled and laughed together, growing into the perfect couple.

These were just Sage and Sarah's temporary looks,

strictly for Sunset Valley only. Bridgeport would

see a whole new couple in the midst of their town.

"Kira, I would like to thank you with my whole heart

for letting me into your family and letting me fill

a space that should have been filled by baby number 12

in your house. I know you sacrificed a lot for me, and I

tried to be the best possible role model I could for Jackie

and little Seana. I just hope it was enough." Sarah thanked me

graciously, but it also sounded like an apology.

"Sarah, you are the best thing that Sage could have in his life,

and I am eternally grateful for you. You inspired Jackie to come

out of her routine comfort zone, you protected her, you helped

her make new friends. I don't regret adopting you into my family,

and even though you were not a child from the 100 Baby

Challenge, you were, and still are, a daughter to me."

We hugged for a while, tears of joy making our makeup

smear lightly on our faces. We both didn't mind.

Sage took Sarah outside as I watched through the window.

(Sorry about the lines, I took this in 'Buy Mode' by accident!)

He got down on one knee and said,

"Sarah, we are now Young Adults and we are going to be moving

into an amazing new city. I would like to share all these new

experiences with you... but I want you to be with me as

my wife. Will you marry me?"

Sarah and Sage's wedding was simple, but beautiful.

Jackie was sad that Sarah was taking Sage away from her,

and sad that Sage was taking Sarah away to a penthouse

once we moved to Bridgeport, but both Sage and Sarah talked

to Jackie about the situation and promised her that they would

not be moving far, and they would both always be there

if she needed them. Tonight was our last night in Sunset

Valley, I hope Bridgeport will be just as great for my children

and Sunset Valley was.

After the last things were packed, we paid the movers to take

the furniture to Bridgeport and set up our house according to the

Interior Designer's plans. The house would be a complete

surprise to us, I had only seen the first blueprints.

We all traveled down to the Salon for complete

transformations.
