Chapter One

Meet the Harper's, a newly wed couple that recently moved from the big city of Bridgeport to the small town of Riverview. They met in university, both having the excitable trait, they knew in their digital sim souls that it was meant to be. Love at first sight and all the jazz.

They have a small starter home on the river, next to some cherry trees. 

Damon Harper is a business man in the making, he hopes to one day run the corporation. Of course, to do that, one has to start at the bottom, which is more than a little annoying to this ambition sim.

Tatiana Harper is a hopeless romantic at heart, she hopes to write books that move and stir the emotions of the masses. And yes, that is her natural hair color, thank you very much.

While Tatiana gets on the computer to register as a writer, Damon bikes into town, Riverview is very scenic.

Damon wanted to buy a book on Charisma, but the inflation is ridiculous, so he leaves without his book.

While muttering about the insane prices, he runs into a man that he finds out is a co-worker. They chat about work for a while and become fast friends.

Across the way, Tatiana is officially licensed as a professional writer.

It's late by the time both get home, Tatiana, never having used a kitchen before her her life, if wary of the stove and decides to play it safe by making a salad for their first meal in their new house.

Over dinner, she lectures Damon on the proper way to wash the cutlery. Tatiana is a bit of a neat freak, and cannot stand it when things aren't done right.

"You know what, just let me wash the dishes." She tells him, rather do it herself than possible use an unclean fork.

The next morning, Tatiana is at it again in the kitchen, feeling braver, she is attempts to make waffles. Damon cannot wait for her her kitchen experiment to be done, he'll be late for his first day of work. So he settles for leftover salad for breakfast. His ride arrives just as a the waffles are done, Tatiana didn't burn them, which shocked both of them.

With Damon at work, Tatiana is left on her own to work on her first novel, a scifi thriller entitled 1948.

Damon gets off of work at 2pm, he pays the bills with his promotion money. Just as he knew it would, the man is moving steadily through the ranks, soon enough he'll be in charge.

He walks into the house to see Tatiana stuck the computer. "How long have you been on that blasted thing?" He asks, being hunched over a keyboard all day cannot be good for her back.

"Hmmm?" Is the only reply he gets.

Waltzing into the room, Damon pulls his wife from her chair and into the kiss, the woman too surprised to give him any flack. "You're too beautiful to be stuck behind a screen all day." He tells her.

It takes very little persuading to get her into the bedroom.

That night as they sleep, Tatiana has strange dreams that involve teddy bears, blocks, baby bottles and tiny shoes. She also wakes twice to vomit.

Tatiana fears she may be pregnant, which for someone in their financial situation, could be a very big source of stress.

The morning as Damon gets ready for work, he's completely oblivious to his wife's midnight bathroom woes.

Tatiana's stomach issues persist.

Meanwhile, she finally finishes her first book and is published.

She gets a large cheque and is promoted three times, being excitable, she reacted accordingly.

That evening, Damon is reading when Tatiana walks in wearing loose clothing, a worried look on her face. Her suspicions had been right.

She breaks the news of her pregnancy as gently to Damon as possible.

To her surprise, the man is happy.

"But how will we afford a baby?" She asks him as he touches her still flat middle in gleeful anticipation. 

"We'll manage." He assures her. "We both work, this kid will have everything it needs, don't you worry about it." He grins.

Tatiana smiles as he pulls her into an excited hug, that was exactly what she needed to hear.

Notes:  Not much to say, the start of the legacy is moving along nicely. The roll for this generation is in the sidebar, but if you missed it, it is; Couple, 2 Children, Business, Author, Perfectionist and Runs in the Family.

Tatiana's traits are bookworm, artistic, excitable, neat and hopeless romantic.

Damon's traits are ambitious, charismatic, excitable, lucky and good sense of humor. 

The family trait is going to be excitable, not a useful trait, but a funny one. For the perfectionist goal, Tatiana is going to perfect the painting skill, I would go for writing, but I honestly don't think she can write 200 books. So I went with the easier one, what can I say, I'm lazy. I rolled for heir, and their first born will be it.
