Young Love

Hill Family
Top Notch Apartments/ Greener Gardens
October 3-4, 2000
Lisa is 49, Shayna is 15


I couldn't believe I was going to be an aunt again. I loved my nephew so much but I was hoping my sister had a little girl. The new baby was all my mom could talk about and though, like I said I'm excited, I ain't that excited. 

I call that special guy I told my sister about, Ricky. He is so handsome and so sweet, the only bad thing is I am a year older then him but honestly he is so smart and mature it doesn't even matter. 

My mom leaves for work and I am so thankful Ricky is here. It gets lonely in this big house by myself.
Ricky: So, she just leaves you all alone? Like all the time?
I nod my head and quickly change the subject I don't want him to see how sad it makes me. 
Shayna: Yeah, but I mostly take the bus to my sisters house. 
Ricky: Kayla?
Shayna: Ew, god no, the Mayor. My big sister. 
Rickys eyes grow wide, it shocked everyone that my older sister was the mayor. People started treating me different after they found out so I stopped telling them but I trusted Ricky. 

Ricky: So let me get this straight, your big sister is the mayor of Moon Island?
I giggle to myself, he was so cute when he was surprised. 
Shayna: Yes Ricky, but don't worry she doesn't use her mayor powers for bad. She is actually a really great person and wants to see this town flourish into something really great. 
Ricky: I can see that. So far she has been doing amazing. She redid the highschool and is figuring a way to connect us to downtown easier and faster. In 4 years I'll be able to vote and I think I am going to vote for her. 
I become prideful of my sister then. She completed her dreams and it made me feel like I could do anything.

Ricky left shortly after our lunch and I sat down to find a job. I was so close to 16, plus I had excellent grades, that I could intern at the sim intelligence until I turned 16 and then start getting paid but only if my internship worked out. I was so pleased with life right now. Sim Intelligence was downtown in the mountains but they would have a carpool come pick me up so it didn't matter that I hadn't taken my driving exam yet. 

Ricky texted me later that night to tell me that all the kids from school were at the park, I lived next door to the park so I hightailed it over their quickly. I spot my younger sister and Ricky chit chatting.
Shayna: Tryna come for my man?
Kayla: I don't even like boys!
I laugh as I let my younger sister up. I love messing with her so much. Ricky walks off with a few friends but Curt stays around. Kayla and Curt are really close, they are in the same grade. Where one is you can bet your ass another is close by.  

I spot Ricky by the poker table, I never played before but I really wanted to learn. Ricky told me he would teach me another time. He was on his way out and pulled me into a hug. I really really like him and gathered my courage to do something I never thought I would do first.

I leaned in for a kiss. To my surprise and happiness he kissed me back.

Stevens Repair Shop

Steven Repair Shop/ Blessings Daycare
October 2, 2000
Steven is 24, Steven 'Munchkin' Jr is 1

My wife is pregnant! I'm going to be a daddy again! This was the news I needed to kick me in the ass and make me open my repair shop. In my spare time I had been working on cars to sell for the lot and fixing up Mr. Bishop cars when they needed it. I had a nice clientele that knew my work was legit.  

Steven: Alright Ms. Clem you total, after taxes is 12000 even. Will you be paying with cash or credit?
Clem: Credit, I am not the Bishops. 

I get to the daycare a quarter till 7 to find my son playing with Sadie Bishop. Even though she was in a different class then him they were usually the only kids at the day care this late and they were becoming great friends. We even got a birthday invite for august. Pretty early to be sending out invites but with it being in the middle of summer and most everyone traveling he wanted to be sure we could come.

May 8th: What a cowinkidink.

Johnson Family
Mayor Residence/Blessings Midwifery 
October 1, 2000
Cheyenne is 23, Steven is 24, Munchkin is 1

It was the day of my appointment, enough time had passed that the test should come out definite. I was nervous and I couldn't tell you why, this wasn't my first time but hopefully it would be my last. I didn't want to be older with young children! I wanted to actually enjoy retirement. 

I arrive 30 minutes early like I was told but Dr. Ram saw me right away, perks of being mayor. 
Dr. Ramwasmi: Well Madam Mayor, you are pregnant. From what I've seen you appear to be 1 day shy of a week. That puts your due date on or around May 8th. 
Dr. Ramwasmi chuckles to himself.
:That means you will be having this baby the same day you had you son, very rare.
I share his smiles and laughs, rare indeed, like the fact that I was pregnant. What the fuck was birth control for if it didn't work?
Cheyenne: When would be the right time to talk about a permeant solution to never getting a pregnant again?
Dr, Ramwasmi looked shocked, which shocked me. He should of seen this coming, I was very clear that I didn't want kids after getting pregnant in my last few months of college with Munch. I was careless but that all changed and I went on birth control that seemed to have failed me. Dr. Ramwasmi was still quiet which was plucking my nerves.
Dr. Ramwasmi: I could take your uterus out but that is a very dangerous thing to do so soon after a baby, and now two. 
I roll my eyes. 
"Do what you have to do!"
We agree to discuss it further as my due date gets near, I think he is hoping I will chicken out but I have never been scared of anything in my life. I leave feeling a tad better that this won't happen again. 


On my way out the door Lora walks in.
C: Hey hunnie, Oh you're pregnant as well?
Lora smile and nods. She looks excited to go through this for a 5th time. Something is seriously wrong with that woman. 
L: I am, due May 6th! I don't feel so early since I look like a whale. 
C: What a strange cowikidink. I am due on the 8th of that month and if you're a whale what the hell am I?
Giggles and chatter were had before my nanny sent me a text letting me know my mother had just gotten to the house and she would be heading out shortly. I wave bye to Lora, we were becoming fast friends and I was okay with it. 

C: Mommy! I have some news that will excite you!
Lisa: Oh, what's that baby?
C: I am pregnant!
My mom jumps up and down before pulling me into a tight hug. She loved Munch with all her heart and was excited at the thought of becoming a grandparent for the second time.
L: How far along are you! I would of never guessed, you look great. 
C: You are too kind but you couldn't tell the first time. I am 4 days along now and I am due on May 8. 
L; What a strange cowikidink. 
C: THAT'S WHAT I SAID.
The talking is cut short by my sister getting off the bus in front of my house. It was often now a days that she came here after school instead of going home. I know it had to be lonely in that apartment by herself while my mom was at work. 

C: Hey baby, come here I gotta tell you something. 
I fill her in on my pregnancy which gets her excited and then the real gossip begins. My sister met someone, she won't tell me who but so far they get along so great. 

Before too long my mom ushers my sister out of my hair claiming I must be tired and babies. The minute they leave I grow sad, I miss them already. Even though they live across the river, if I had it my way they would be my neighbors, I miss living with them and being crazy with them all the time. 

SJ: No mommy, I don't wanna go inside. Play!
I roll my eyes at my bratty but incredibly cute son. 
C: Fine, 30 more minutes out here and then it is inside. It will be getting really cold shortly and mama has to start dinner. 

I watch my son hoot and holler on his horse for another 40 minutes waiting for my husband to get home. I was getting anxious to tell him the news.

Birthday Wishes and Double Shifts

Moon University
September 9-10 2000
Alex is 19, Haylee is 18

It was Alex birthday but instead of celebrating he was trying to scrap enough money together to buy Haylee the ring he thought she deserved. He was going to do it, one thing he learned about Haylee in this week and 2 days was she never gave the outcome you thought. 

Haylee was downstairs getting some pancakes wondering where her boyfriend was. Since he asked her out they spent every waking moment together and they had a routine. Him not being here was making her a little worried. 

Haylee was so close to banging down his door when she spots him come down the stairs. They settle on the couch like always for a little woohoo and cuddles. 
Alex: You look so beautiful today.
Haylee smiled at him, he told her that every single morning but she never grew tired of hearing it. 

Haylee: I love you.
Haylee said quietly. Alex never knew his bestfriend to be quiet and since they had started dating she was even less quiet. 
It was at that moment that Alex realized he was in love with Haylee.
Alex: I love you more beautiful. 
Haylee: What do you want to do for your birthday hunnie?
Alex: Lets go to the café by our dorm. We are super low on funds but I just want a coffee for my birthday. 
Haylee smiled at Alex, he was so low key. Always has been.. 

Off to the café they went, Haylee ordered the coffee but noticed Alex didn't seem to be paying attention to anything she was saying. Upon turning around she soon found out why, when she turned around to see a naked woman standing behind her she let out an eep. 

Alex and Haylee abandon the coffee idea and sit in the furthest corner away from the streakier. Haylee was rambling about her schedule  but Alex wasn't paying attention. 
Alex: Haylee, shut up and marry up.. I mean me.  

Haylee started hyperventilating. 
Haylee: Marry you? Really?
Alex: Yes Hal, Really. 

Haylee: Can I look at the ring before I answer?
Alex: Seriously? You know what does bra size matter?

Haylee: Kind of but you have no need to worry. It is beautiful and you know me very well because this is my dream ring so Yes I Will Marry you! Oh and by the way, no douche it doesn't matter. 

Alex lets out his breath he didn't know he was holding in. 
Alex: Haylee Meghan French, you scared the SHIT out of me.
Haylee giggled like a maniac. 
Haylee: I know but that's what you get. This is suppose to be your day and you propose to me? I've got to teach you to be more selfish. 

They ended up getting kicked out of the café so they took their party back to the dorms but it was cut short when the first bills of the semester came. Alex forgot all about it and they didn't have the money to cover it. 

Alex didn't want to worry Haylee or make her think she had to give the ring back so he lied and said he had to study for a diesel test and ran upstairs to make some money. 

But after hours of work and only making 80 bucks he realized he needed to come clean to Haylee and get some help.
Alex: Babe, I have some bad news. 
Haylee looks up from her pancakes with a confused look on her face. 
Haylee: With what baby? I don't know anything about cars I can't help you. 
Alex: No, the bills came in but I spent all of our money on your ring. We have 128 dollars to our name but the bills are 453. I've been working all night and got 80 bucks, but this needs to be paid by tonight.
Haylee gets upset. 
Haylee: Do I have to give the ring back!
Alex: No! I just need you to work a double at the café. We only need 245 dollars and if you work a double that would give us another 100 bucks and I can come up with 145.
Haylee nods, she is so relieved she doesn't have to give the ring back. 

Haylee didn't have class for some time so she talks to Jim about a double shift and he agrees. 100 bucks here she comes. To bad it wouldn't be spent on clothes or shoes.

In bed with the wrong people

Johnson Family
315 Mayor Lane
Cheyenne is 23, Steven is 24, Steven jr is 1

Cheyenne thought the helicopter was a bit much, Moon Island was a freaking island it didn't warrant a helicopter to work. A very short ferry ride, maybe but not all of this. Cheyenne could only think of all the taxes dollars that were being wasted but she was also grateful to have a ride because if she had to 'swim' to work like the last mayor she might have already quit. 

While Cheyenne was complaining about taxes dollars and helicopters Steven was getting munchkin ready for daycare. 
Steven: Alright buddy, drink your milk and then we are off okay? Mommy will pick you up tonight.
Steven Jr just smiled at his daddy. He understood what his daddy was saying but he didn't get why there was so much rush. His parents were always in a rush in the morning. 

After Steven got home from work so he could take care of Jr, Cheyenne went to the new community garden that had just been open. She was very pleased with what she saw. Everything look mouth watering and now everyone in town could have fresh food when they wanted it. Call her a socialist but when you lived on a small island and your closest town was BWS which was 120 miles away the food stopped being so fresh. 

Upon returning home Missy was waiting for the mayor. Cheyenne sighed, Missy was always drama.
Missy: Oh Chey, I'm glad I caught you. I need to speak to you about our little crime problem.. 
Cheyenne rolled her eyes, The Wool family has had problems with the Bishops for a while now. As Chey heard it, it was all over a misunderstanding. 
Cheyenne: If you are going to keep accusing them of being in the Crime business I am going to need some proof Missy. I can't and WONT just make a very wealthy family, whom by the way funded the new daycare in town as well as the community garden,  leave town because your wife claims the young Donnie boy hit her and then Mr. Bishop threatened her. If these things are true, how come she didn't go to the police? Where are the marks? 
Missy rolled her eyes, it was a well known fact that Cheyenne had ties to the Bishops. What a crook mayor. 
Missy: Whatever Mayor Cheyenne! No matter what I or my family say you will always take their side but just you wait, I am going to become powerful enough to stop them and YOU!
Cheyenne didn't take to threats to kindly and stepped closer to the older woman. 
Cheyenne: You are in your mid to late 30s and are at the bottom of the rung as far as politics go, I would watch who you threaten, especially seeing as you just accused the Bishops of this very thing Missy Nicole Wool.
Missy hightailed it off the Mayors' porch faster then she ever had before and got home in record time. Missy had made a grave mistake, one she might pay dearly for. 


Everything went all good until the next morning when Cheyenne started to feel sick, The feeling was familiar and she knew she needed to get to the hospital for a test. This was not in her plans but what could she do about it now. 

Cheyenne didn't want to tell her husband until she was 100 percent sure, she knew he would be excited and she just didn't want to deal with it. She instead focused on her son, Teaching him to walk was most important to her at the moment. He was getting way to big to carry everywhere now. 

Cheyenne: Good job mommys' sweet boy. You'll be running around here in no time but please take your time. 


 September was coming to a close which means Cheyenne first month in office was almost over. It was surreal. She had an appointment for the hospital on October 1st. Hopefully they would tell her what she wanted to know.

Deadlines and Shady Clubs

Bishop Family
September 5-6, 2000 (Fall)
Derrick is 40, Lora is  37, Donnie is 19, Irma is 16, Sadie is 4


My wife has been tired lately. It was so unlike her to laze about all day.

And though I knew she was a closet nudist she never walked around naked this much. She complained about her whole body being tender and sore. I had some suspicions but I didn't say anything. 

Moses was crazy for sure, he was such a good cat, he kept out the way most times and way very shy but then randomly he would lose it and go crazy. 

Donnie much like his old man had littler patience for foolery and became the cats disciplinary. 

My kids were scarred but I was in heaven. Look at my beautiful wife!

I was tired of Donnie doing nothing but lounging around my house. He didn't go to college like his brother and he doesn't have a job like his sister. He is just a bum! So when I decided to start up a new club he was the perfect person to run it. He knew the most about my business with the mob and he could sniff out a cop almost better then I could. This new club had some shady dealings like poker and a bubble blower. Gambling and drugs are of course illegal, though I am trying everything in my power to influence the mayor to change that. 

Before he can run the business he needs to get a few business credentials. I put him in some classes and so far he has been hard at work. Nothing has come of it yet but hopefully soon.  



My oldest girl, my dream come true, always hard at work and trying to improve herself everyday is the best kid a parent can ask for. Big things are going to happen for her. 

My suspicions were correct. We are going to have another baby!

As morning rolled around I realized I forgot a collar for Moses when I bought him and I really didn't need to give the SBI any more reason to look into me. I hopped in my car and raced to the Mall. 

Armando was working the counter and he was quick a swift as well as making it seem I had bought it way earlier then I really did. He was always looking out for me. 

On my way out I passed the electronics machine and stopped to get my angel the handheld she wanted. Her birthday had come and gone but I couldn't help but spoil her. She was going to be so excited when she saw it. 
__________________________________________________________________________________


-And that is the end of the Bishops round. I really like this family and the way they are going. I cannot wait for everyone to see the club. It is the best! I am so proud of myself for building it. I have yet to try it out because Donnie didn't get a bronze sales badge or write 4 charisma papers in time. 
-Derrick actually did miss the deadline to get a collar but with him being a mobster I figured something so small like that wouldn't faze him and he probably has people everywhere so I didn't make him pay the fine. 
-Colin moved out, but we won't see him until round 2 because I didn't want to tack on another 'family' for round 1 besides I like that. When someone moves out we shouldn't see them until the next round.
-And Lastyly the club is name Club Shady because I just got a kick out of that.
