Avery Legacy - Chapter 138 - Welcome Generation Four

Connor eventually gave birth to his alien son. Welcome to the family little Deimos Avery.

The moment Connor was back on his feet, Vicki rushed him to the alter.

It was a lovely Avery wedding with lots of family and friends (and a few really creepy chairs).

The wedding party was a huge success. Unfortunately that didn't stop Connor from heading to work later that night. Poor Vicki spent her wedding night all alone.

Soon Aric started showing his age. He has officially turned the family reins over to Connor. Now he's just going to sit back and enjoy what's left of his life.

His daughter Callisto became a teen. She longs to be filthy rich and earn at least 100k before all is said and done.

Deimos Avery grew quickly into a toddler. He is a pisces with 6 neat, 0 outgoing, 10 active, 0 playful & 9 nice.

Samuel began making the rounds. Even death won't keep this bad boy out of trouble.

At long last, generation four has officially arrived. Welcome to the family Duke Avery.

Vicki handled Duke's birth like a champion. The ghost, however, were more than she could take. After three consecutive ghost attacks, Vicki completely lost it. (Becoming our first simmy to need the help of a shrink)

Nope. No. Definitely not. You just don't have what it takes to be an Avery. No. I don't see you lasting that long in this family. I'm sure you'll make a lovely ghost though.

After a lot of hard work, Callisto Avery heads off to college with 9500 in scholarships. This clears the way for Cosmic to move back home (should he ever actually graduate).

Last but not least, Duke becomes a toddler. He's going to look like his daddy but he isn't an elf. Such a shame. Duke is a pisces with 4 neat, 2 outgoing, 6 active, 4 playful & 9 nice. Connor has been a busy man of late. He is teaching his boys their skills and nursing his wife back to health. All that nursing will soon lead to the pitter patter of more little Avery feet.

Highlights at the birth of generation 4: Networth of $1,880,178, 10 impossible wants, 7 different colored ghosts, 5 alien births (can you name them all?) and a whole lot of fun.

Next up.... Cosmic graduates? Chris & his burglar start a family? Chesna chooses a mate? Well you'll just have to wait and see won't ya.

Avery Legacy - Chapter 137 - Connor Returns

FINALLY - Back at the Legacy Lot: Aric Avery (popularity), his twin sons Jaric (fortune) & Daric (romance), his alien daughter Callisto and the thorn in Aric's side Samual LeTourneau (romance) are joined by our generation three heir (from line one) Connor Avery who has just graduated from college.

Aric is left with the task of showing Connor the ropes since his father Ben's unfortunate death. Although Aric knows they must stargaze nightly, he really isn't looking forward to it. What if the aliens come back for me. I've already given birth once and I maintain my friendships with 30 people. What more can you ask of me?

Well nothing on this night. Tonight the aliens want more hot elf and Connor is the only hot elf around.

Connor returns basically unharmed. He's been home from college two days. He has a wedding (to a woman he probably shouldn't be marrying) just around the corner. He can't believe this has happened to him now.

I mean he promised his dad he would produce a generation four heir. He never meant that he would actually have the baby himself.

Connor calls up Vicki and tries to explain that the wedding must be put on hold for a while. Vicki, fearing that a little while could become forever, volunteers to move in and help take care of Connor and his alien offspring while planning the wedding herself. Needing all the support he can get, Connor agrees.

Aaron and Ben stop by from time to time to check on their legacy.

They also take the time to get to know their descendants. Aaron scares poor Daric.

And still finds time to greet his grandson Connor.

Who is later scared by his own mother. It's hard being pregnant on the legacy lot. The ghosts won't let you sleep or make it to the bathroom on time.

Vicki is finalizing the wedding plans. She has to. She finds herself pregnant with Connor's baby and she is damn sure going to make sure her child is born with the Avery name. Connor spends his last trimester painting a portrait of his wife-to-be.

Aric is noticeably absent lately. He's been working on a little project of his own. Everyone else has been to busy to notice. Aric is glad about that. You see it's finally time to get rid of that cheating Samuel LeTourneau. Every time he turns around, Aric learns of another of the man's ex-lovers. He has to go. Before Aric officially turns over the family reins to Connor, he must first rid the family of this no good parasite.

It's not good to be a lover of many when someone finally catches on. Samuel has known Aric was going to be a problem. He had hoped to win over Connor thus securing his place in the Avery household. He's got it good living at Avery Manor and he knows it. Unfortunately Connor is slightly preoccupied lately. Samuel would tried to sway the future Mrs. Connor Avery but Aric has been keeping to close an eye on him. Maybe he should have seen this coming but he didn't. He knew Aric hated him - they are enemies after all - but he never thought the man would shove him in a room and then lock the door. Oh and not just any room. A room full of trash. The smell was overwhelming. Samuel could hardly breathe.

But piles of trash and a near fatal aroma weren't Aric's plan at all. No his plan involved a rare species of fly known to eat flesh. Aric had gotten the environment just right before he placed the larva into the room. He waited exactly the right amount of time for the flies to reach maturity. They were good and hungry when Samuel was locked in with them. Since Samuel couldn't get back out the way he was pushed in, he tried to go through the maze of trash and see if there might be some other way out.

Unfortunately he could not find another exit. He searched the walls for most of the day with little hope of actually escaping. He assumed Aric meant to come back an finish him later....until the flies attacked. Samuel couldn't believe it when they began eating his flesh.

With his last breath Samuel LeTourneau cried out for help and forgiveness. He received neither.

The flies did exactly what Aric knew they would. They left little trace of the man who once was the lover of so many men and women in Eden Falls.

Knowing the life expectancy of the killer flies, Aric waited the appropriate amount of time before entering the hall of death. He gathered up Samuel's ashes and cleaned up the mess. He tore down the room that was Samuel's final resting place. He used his money and connections to cover up the truth of Samuel's death. As far as the world is concerned, Samuel died in a military training exercise. It was a terrible tragedy. Aric had few regrets about what he did. He did regret that Amelia Avery would grow up without knowing her father. Then again Samuel wouldn't have been much of a father so she was probably better off. Samuel now rests in the family crypt where Aric assumes he won't cause any further trouble.

By this point, both of the twins have moved off to college with 9500 in scholarships each. Jaric (left) plans on getting a good education and then hopefully moving back into Avery Manor. Daric (right) will probably get counseling and some point to help cure himself of his romantic ways. He may or may not return as well if alien bait is needed.

Avery Legacy - Chapter 136 - Aiden's Family

Aiden Avery's House: Aiden (popularity), wife Meredith (popularity), son Nathan (from his first marriage - Fortune), daughter Michele (popularity), daughter Myra & alien daughter Maia.



Across town at Aiden Avery's house his alien daughter Maia is becoming a toddler.

Maia Avery - G3 from alien abduction - green skin, brown hair, black eyes, Libra, 4 neat, 10 outgoing, 2 active, 9 playful & 10 nice.

That same night his wife Meredith helps their daughter Myra become a toddler.

Myra Avery - G3, S4, brown hair, brown eyes, Aries, 7 neat, 9 outgoing, 6 active, 7 playful & 3 nice.

Meredith is elected Mayor of Eden Falls. Yes she's gotten older lately but she refuses to sit around and knit like some old grandmother (even though she is).

Aiden & Meredith's youngest daughter Myra soon becomes a child.

So does Aiden's alien daughter Maia.

Oh for crying out loud dad. Start acting your age.

That's better. Aiden is now an elder. Yes generation two are almost all old folks now.

As for Nathan & Michele, they could have both headed to college but have thus far elected not to. They may just stick around and help the old folks take care of the younger kids.

Avery Legacy - Chapter 135 - Blake's Growing Family

From the Blake Avery's House: Blake Avery (family), wife Stacy (knowledge), son Clay (Popularity), daughter-in-law Ayla (popularity), son Cole (romance), son Colin & son Camden.

Blake spends his golden years taking care of his youngest son Camden.
With five grandkids, Blake find himself just one grandchild away from fulfilling his lifetime dream. Clay and his wife Ayla are obviously in love. Why won't they get on with it already?

Well Blake doesn't manage to talk Clay and Ayla into having his sixth grandchild. Instead he accidentally gets his second wife Stacy pregnant with his ninth child. Whoops.

Camden Avery is now a toddler.

Camden Avery - G3 - S2, red hair, grey eyes, Sagittarius, 6 neat, 3 outgoing, 10 active, 7 playful & 1 nice.

Stacy and Colin wave farewell to Cole as he heads off to college. Everyone was pretty shocked that Colin had filed for early admittance without telling a soul. Of course the truth is Colin was just trying to get a little space from is dad. Blake has learned of his sons romantic ways and has tried his hardest to talk some sense into the boy. Now he can only hope he grows up before he gets himself into a load of trouble.

Have you ever seen carpooling quite like this?

Clay and Ayla finally decide that maybe they are ready to have a baby of their own. They get right to work and before you know it there is another little Avery on the way.

Stacy gives birth to Blake's ninth child. This time the couple has a little blond girl. They name their daughter Caera.

In the excitement of Caera's birth, no one notices that Camden has grown into a handsome child.

Or that Colin has become a teen. Blake has no worries with this one because Colin is a family man just like his dad. All he wants is to find a good woman, marry her and someday celebrate their golden anniversary.

Not long after the Ayla gives Clay a son, little Caera becomes a toddler.

Caera Avery - generation 3 - S2, blond, grey eyes - Virgo - 10 neat, 3 outgoing, 10 active, 2 playful & 9 nice.


Proud dad Clay is soon taking care of a toddler of his own. This is his son Darius whom you can see looks a lot like his mother Ayla.

Darius Avery - generation 4 - S3, red hair, green eyes - Virgo - 10 neat, 7 outgoing, 5 active, 0 playful & 5 nice.

Although Blake wants a tenth child, Stacy is just to old to give birth and refuses to discuss adoption. Although he hasn't given up on the idea of more kids, he is now trying to get his children to give him another 14 grandkids. Although he may have that many grandkids someday, I doubt the old man will be around to see it.

Avery Legacy - Chapter 134 - The Day Family


At the Day house: Colin Day (romance), Brooke Avery Day (fortune), Zara Day (popularity - 20 best friends), twins Rainy & Sunny, and twins Windy & Stormy.

When last we left Colin, he had just returned from being abducted by aliens. It was a very traumatic experience. Then of course Brooke found out he'd had an affair with her aunt. Then she had an affair with Samuel to get back at him. Traumatic times in the Day household. But the adults put it all behind them as best they can. They have to. There are two many children in the house to do otherwise.


Luckily the first set of twins has just become children. This is Sunny Day.

Here is her twin sister Rainy Day.

It's a good thing the older twins are more self sufficient because the younger set of twins needs lots of attention right now.

Windy Day - G3 - S2, black hair, brown eyes, elf ears, Libra, 1 neat, 9 outgoing, 3 active, 6 playful & 7 nice

Stormy Day - G3 - S2, black hair, brown eyes, elf ears, Libra, 1 neat, 8 outgoing, 3 active, 6 playful & 7 nice

Having a little one growing inside of him has set Colin's maternal instincts in high gear. He's turned into one heck of a dad. No skirt chasing for this former Romeo.

Of course eventually that baby had to come out. OUCH!

Welcome to the world little Dara Day. Yes she is an alien. She's an alien in disguise. (Actually it was MONTHS between the time she was conceived and she was born. I think the alien dna got lost somewhere. She looks just like her dad.)

See. Little Dara is now a toddler.

Dara Day - G3 by alien abduction - S2, black hair, grey eyes, Libra, 1 neat, 8 outgoing, 3 active, 4 playful & 9 nice.

Time for fast and furious birthdays. Hold on tight.

Stormy is a child.

His twin sister Windy is a child.

Pause to study. Ok. More birthdays.

Brooke becomes an elder.

So does Colin.

Rainy becomes a teen. She longs for knowledge BUT wants to be a professional party guest like her dad. (I don't know why. Ask her.)

Sunny longs to be popular. Yes, a very popular celebrity chef.

And Dara is just glad to be out of diapers.

With all the younger kids in school now, big sister Zara heads to college. Time to get a life and stop being a baby sitter. Maybe she'll call up Anita and see what she's up to these days.

Avery Legacy - Chapter 133 - The Lillard Family

Carina and Afton celebrate his graduation from college. Afton is planning to move in with Carina's cousin Marcus and his wife. Carina will meet him there in about six months when she graduates.

Funny how men are always running off and leaving things behind. Just great. Pregnant during her last semester. That's bound to be fun.

The Lillard Household: Marcus Lillard (knowledge), his wife Cephei Byall Lillard (family) & friend Afton Silverleaf (fortune).

Shortly after leaving college and buying their own house, Cephei gives birth to the couple's second child Xavier Lillard.

(flashback - oldest son Braiden was born in college and is still there....as a young adult....waiting for everyone else to catch up the aging some so that he can get a life)

Xavier grew quickly into a cute toddler. He carries the family jawline just like his dad Marcus and his granddad Aiden Avery.

Xavier Lillard - Generation 4 - S4, brown hair, brown eyes, pisces, 1 neat, 3 outgoing, 9 active, 4 playful & 10 nice

Dad Marcus manages to become a criminal mastermind. He will soon be finding a more respectable line of work.

Cephei quickly finds herself expecting baby number three. Friends and family are quite happy for her.

Of course we have another expectant mother. Carina Avery graduated college and moved in with her beloved Afton. Afton and Carina were married quickly in a private ceremony.

Good thing too because that baby wasn't waiting any longer.

Carina has a girl. Welcome to the family Alora Silverleaf.

And what's this? Cephei has a girl too. Welcome little Rhapsody Lillard.

Soon the two couples become one big family. Everyone pitches in and gets the work done....and there is lots of work to get done these days.

But at least Xavier is now a child and such a handsome one at that.

Rhapsody becomes a toddler.

Rhapsody Lillard - G4 - S4, brown hair, dark blue eyes, Cancer, 10 neat, 9 outgoing, 4 active, 2 playful & 10 nice.

Alora also becomes a toddler. She didn't get her daddy's ears but she may have gotten her mommy's.

Alora Silverleaf - G4 - S3, black hair, brown eyes, Libra, 6 neat, 10 outgoing, 1 active, 4 playful & 10 nice.

There's a better picture of her little ears. The alien dna doesn't seem to be passing that well lately. Sad. In happier news, Carina and Afton are already expecting their second child.

Avery Legacy - Chapter 132 - The Hogan Family

The Hogan House: Shane Hogan (fortune), Bianca Avery Hogan (family - marry 6 kids), Anita (romance - hall of famer), Adam (Pleasure - celebrity chef), Carolina, Crystal & Calera.
Carolina Hogan (Armando's oldest daughter) has become a beautiful little girl. She isn't aware of her true parentage yet but she's about the only one who doesn't know.

The twins Crystal and Calera are toddlers. This is Crystal.

Crystal Hogan - S2, blond, brown eyes, Libra, 2 neat, 10 outgoing, 4 active, 5 playful & 9 nice
Calera Hogan - S2, blond, dark blue eyes, Capricorn, 10 neat, 7 outgoing, 2 active, 5 playful & 10 nice

(At one time I was planning on breaking out a forth line from Bianca. If I actually do that Calera would be the generation 3 line four heir. Not sure now that I'm going to mess with it though.)

Armando begins coming around even though Bianca has forbidden it. Anita lets him know when her father is gone and that's when he drops by. He will see his kids. Family is important. Why can't Bianca understand that.

Of course Bianca does understand that. She also understands how close she is to losing her husband and kids. She needs to get Armando out of her life and fast.

Of course Armando is stubborn. When he can't get anywhere with Bianca he decides to talk to Shane. Maybe they can work something out man to man. He wants to see his little girls.

Well talking didn't work. Maybe fisticuffs will.

Shane was beaten to a pulp by his wife's former lover. Bianca was outraged and threw Armando out on his ear. She took care of Shane. In time they somehow managed to regain their trust. It seems as though they may be able to save their marriage after all.

Bianca soon finds out that she's expecting a child. Shane is very happy to know that this child is definitely his. Life is good. Armando seems to have taken the hint. The kids are all well. Nothing can ruin their happiness now.

Calera becomes a child.

So does her twin sister Crystal.

Bianca's sixth child is a boy whom she named Andrew.

With Andrew's birth Anita knew it was time to get out of there. She couldn't believe her father had forgiven that witch. Well she hadn't. And now her mother is spending all her time pushing her to get married. Unbelievable. Well if her mother wants her married, married she will be. Carefully what you ask for mother dearest.

Because it may not be anything like what you expected.

Armando is very happy to see Anita. They've been friends for a while now. He was happy to welcome her to La Fiesta Tech and show her around. He didn't take her flirting seriously...at least not at first. He just didn't see her that way.

But in time...things changed. Armando is finally over Bianca. He knows it's insane to become involved with her daughter but he can't seem to help himself. Before he knows it, he's fallen in love. (with his ex-lovers daughter and his daughter's half sister - yikes)

Things move quickly between the two of them. Armando is on the verge of graduating. Anita is just a freshman. The Avery family won't be happy when they find out but Anita doesn't care and Armando refuses to think about it.

You know it's strange to think about marrying your mother's ex but that's exactly what Anita plans to do. No Armando hasn't asked yet but he will. That's the way he is. He values family above all else. And if he takes to long Anita knows one way to get her ring. Of course having a baby is a lot to do just to stick a knife in you lying cheating mothers back.

Back at the Hogan House: Carolina, Crystal and Calera are growing up fast. They study hard to make their mom and dad happy.

Adam being the pleasure sim that he is has begun dating an older woman. He paid a gypsy and she arrange a date for him with Monica Bratford (maxis made young adult). His mother is pushing him to find a nice girl and get married. The more she pushes to more he messes around with Monica. He's to young to be thinking about marriage but woohoo....well that's another story entirely.

Soon the youngest Hogan, Andrew, becomes a toddler. He looks a lot like his dad Shane.

Andrew Hogan - G3 - S3, brown hair, brown eyes, Virgo, 10 neat, 7 outgoing, 1 active, 2 playful &9 nice.

Next thing you know it was Shane's turn to grow older.

He was followed quickly by Bianca. I guess the baby factory is officially closed.

Avery Legacy - Chapter 131 - The Tellerman Wedding

At the Tellerman house: Keith Tellerman (family - grad 3 kids from college), Cyra Avery (family - 6 grandkids), Chance Avery (knowledge - criminal mastermind), Lisa Yang (fortune - cheif of staff) & Sophie Miguel (fortune - business tycoon)

Sophie finally tells Cannan that she's pregnant. Cannan is thrilled. He wished he was finished with college so that he could be here with her but since he can't he vows to visit as often as possible.

Keith is thrilled to finally be back with Cyra. They celebrate her graduation privately.

Which will soon result in a little bundle of joy.

The young couple quickly married. Blake was thrilled to find out that grandchild number five was on the way. Just one more to go.

Unfortunately Kaleb wasn't happy about it at all. Or maybe it wasn't them exactly he was upset about. Maybe it was that he'd heard rumors that his fiance had once been involved with his player brother. Maybe that's why his fists started flying that day. It didn't really matter who he was hitting. He just needed to hit someone. Cyra of course will never understand why her baby brother ruined her wedding by hurting the man she loves.

Neither will Keith. He had thought Kaleb was a friend. Would Cyra's family never accept him? Could his past involvement with Cyra's sister Cassia never be forgotten?

Luckily Cyra was there to remind him that her family didn't matter. She loved him. Always would. Together they would find happily ever after even if they had to get restraining orders against her entire family to do it.

A few days after the wedding, Sophie gave birth to Cannan's daughter. She named her Iliana Miguel. Cannan couldn't be a prouder dad.

Chance deals with his problems with Lisa by becoming a workaholic. He soon climbed the ranks and was one of the towns most crafty criminal masterminds. (He just hopes his dad never finds out. He can already hear the lecture if he does.)

Lisa enjoyed being in the arms of a criminal mastermind. Is it really smart to be sleeping with two criminal masterminds? Probably not but she didn't care. Weldon can give her everything that Chance can't. Money. Immortality if she asked. What could Chance give her? Love. Well that just wasn't enough.

When Weldon asked her to be his wife, Lisa quickly accepted and married her rich sim. She packed her clothes and moved into the Miller house. She left Chance a brief note. If he had really wanted her he should have married her months ago.

The next morning Cyra went into labor. Keith was besides himself. By this point, Chance was half drunk and contemplating murder. What was the best way to kill a vampire anyway?

Cyra presented Keith with a son. Introducing little Shawn Tellerman.

With Keith and Cyra completely wrapped up in their son, they didn't notice the way Chance was acting. He began taking out his problems on the only person available, Sophie. He wasn't just verbally abusive. He began to get physically violent too. That's when Sophie locked herself in her bedroom and called Cannan. Cannan was shocked at his cousins behavior. He quickly called and arranged for Sophie to move in with his sort of uncle Quinton. Sophie and Iliana would be safe with with Quinton and Carol.

Sophie explained everything to Quinton when she arrived. He seemed more than happy to let her move in. It was for the best. They would decide on a permanent solution after Cannan graduates.

Quinton was thrilled to have a baby in the house. Even though Cannan wasn't his son, he'd still considered him family since he raised him. Having Iliana around was like having a grandchild of his own.

Cannan came by often to visit Iliana. He took fatherhood very seriously.

Soon Iliana became a toddler. Sophie couldn't believe how big her little girl was getting.

Iliana Miguel - Generation 4 - S2, brown hair, brown eyes, scorpio - 8 neat, 2 outgoing, 10 active, 3 playful & 3 nice.

Of course there was one drawback to having Sophie and Iliana move in. It made it harder for Carol and Quinton to be together. They both feared the reaction of their family when they found out about their romantic involvement. Neither were quite ready to bring their love affair out in the open. So Quinton and Carol secretly share a bed and hope no one becomes the wiser. How would the Avery family react when they find out the man they had trusted to raise little Carol as his own daughter was now bedding her?
