I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in ....

'Heee heee heee Wow that was funny, don't you think Ivy?'

Joker was always laughing and making her angry. 'SHUT UP YOU IDIOT' Oh how she hated to see that man. A new woman would be in this joint and that was one too many as far as she was concerned. How she detested all the lady nurses. They seemed to get that and stayed away.

The other men just howled as she steamed about the entire idea. Soon the director came and took them all to the torture chamber to extract their mean animal instincts. The problem lies in the fact that the mean ornery side of them could not be taken away. 

‘Mama, look at the tub. Didn’t I wish I would have one of these? And I really like my bedroom with this bed. Look how soft it is when I sit down. I am sinking.’ Becky is silly with giggles, she is so happy. ‘Darling, let’s check out this new computer. I have never seen one quite like this. Becky showed mom how to turn it on and then what great games were already installed. Many of them were educational games, and it still was fun to her. 

Dad brought his son in to check on the girls. Becky had begun to fill her dresser with the clothes from her suitcases. The tune she was humming sounded like a happy daughter. Rebecca saw dad and exclaimed. ‘Oh, Daddy, Mommy, I love our new home; it is just like the Castle in the storybook I read.’ 

‘You are right my dear daughter.’ Blue bent down and kissed her forehead as she lined her socks in her drawer by color. Her need for detail made him smile. ‘Mama, I think it might be time for some help putting this guy to sleep.’ 

Patty took David and examined him. ‘Hmm, he seems ready for a bath, if you ask me’ she winked at the two and walked down to her own bathroom. Becky found her bubble bath finally in a paper sack. It was time to use that new tub.

Blue strolled the castle, checking doors and locks. He conjured up spells to keep the doors from opening until he unlocked their spell. Steven could sense the peace and quiet the area gave him. This home is a fortress, more security, in his eyes. He could sense in the design, with all the stairs in all directions.

Steven took his time, sitting for a distance to make sure all was well in every direction. His blessings were so abundant he wanted SimsGod to know how grateful he was.  After about an hour, he went to his room. Patty and David were so deeply asleep; they were snoring, and something that he muted with a wave of his hand. ‘Now it’s time for a deep sleep for me too.’ 

He lay down, feeling the depth of exhaustion he too felt. Each move had potential and he was ready for all of it.  

Thirty minutes prior to sunrise, the youngest member decided he was ready to wake someone up. He had lay in his cradle, kicking his legs and waving his arms. He didn’t know they were his, but somehow he did. It was not until his attention left the baby world of fantasy and became the roaring giant of hunger. 

Suddenly he was gifted with two parents arising for his needs. How wonderful the world of Life was, even for babies. Ask and you shall receive.
