Baxter and Bailey

Several years had passed and Baxter and Bailey were now ready for school. As with all good sim parents, Aaron and Andrea wanted only the best for their children, but since Andrea was a fortune sim, this meant that things had to be stepped up a notch. Her children had to attend private school. The headmaster was called, the house was cleaned, and a delicious dinner was being planned. The headmaster had just arrived, but alas, someone had caught the house on fire while attempting this marvelous feast. The headmaster was appalled and denied Baxter and Baily entrance to his prestigious school. This was just too much for poor Andrea. She went into immediate needs failure and the good Dr. Hoo had to treat her for her anxiety disorder.

At some point later down the road, the twins were finally admitted to the most elite school in the city and Andrea felt they had arrived. Time passed very quickly in Legacy. Each year felt like only minutes and soon the twins were teens and preparing for college. Aaron was started to feel old. He already felt like he had accomplished so much. He had finally reached the pinnacle of his career, his wife was very successful, and his beautiful children were about to leave home for the first time. Since he knew nothing about his past, he wanted the future generations to have a sense of where they had come from. He commissioned a famous artist to come and paint portraits of the family.

The twins worked hard at skill building and headed off to college, where the next four years sped by unremarkably. They both became members of the Delta Gamma Pi and both became engaged in college. Bailey to the delivery guy, Stephan Something-or-other (I don't remember his last name & didn't write it down. Sorry folks.) and Baxter to Professor Cara Whats-her-name (you get the idea). Baxter returned home to the family estate after graduation while Bailey found her own little villa and starting planning her life with Stephan.

Baxter and Professor Cara were married in the family's wedding garden, while Bailey and Stephan were married at their own home.

Bax was a family guy, Prof. Cara was all about knowledge as was Stephan, and Bailey took after her mother in the pursuit of the almighty simoleon. Now Andrea had died without realizing her dream of making ยง100K, but she did die after living a very fulfilling life (in platinum), but Aaron did reach his goal before he died.

Baxter had told Cara how imporant having a dynasty was to Aaron and how he wanted to honor his dad by having many children. Cara wasn't disagreeable to having a bunch of children but she really wanted to learn everything that she possibly could.

In the little house on Spare Lane, Bailey and Stephan had also discussed what they wanted out of life. Bailey wanted to be a Hall of Famer and Stephan wanted to be Chief of Staff. Bailey felt that having too many children would ruin her chances for a super-star career, but she was egotistical enough to want to see herself in another. Stephan didn't really care one way or the other. He was perfectly happy with just Bailey. Soon little Carly came along. "Such a beautiful angel, our family is blessed with attractiveness," Bailey thought. But one day, before Bailey really had a chance to form the young girl, tragedy struck.

Back on Founder Drive, Baxter and Cara were going about the daily business of living. Cara loved having children. First there was Cade, then Caleb, then Cameron, and finally little Celeste. All four were little blonde cherubs. One day, Bailey came to visit. Right away she went out back to look at the strange thing Bax had brought home from work with him. It ate her.

After Bailey's untimely death, Baxter had a fence put around old Bessie, so she couldn't eat another unlucky family member or visitor for that matter. Poor Carly ended up growing up without her mother's influence and turned to men for comfort (romance).

It was my fault really. I should have penned the beast up. But on the other hand, that color ghost is taken care of. Thanks for reading.
