Beesly 3: Round 3

Last round, Ashley Beesly and Joshua Martin moved into their new home after graduating from college. However, unlike the other couples of Tranquility Bay they opted not to get married right away. That didn't stop Ashley from getting in the family way, though, and she soon gave birth to a son named Steven. She was also able to reach her lifetime want of becoming a celebrity chef thanks to some planning ahead in her teen years.



Hi, guys...oh, sorry. It looks like I'm interrupting something.

Joshua: Oh, hi mysterious voice. Yeah, we're kind of in the middle of...

Say no more.



No, this isn't disturbing at all...

Joshua: What? We're passionate about each other.

Apparently so.



Ashley: I don't feel so good.

Joshua: You must have had some bad food.

I have another idea...



Uh-oh...get into bed, Joshua. Can't have you spreading that around.



Ahh, there's the young'n. Glad to see they're still remembering to feed you.



At least he has an attentive mother...

Ashley: Joshua's a fine father. He's just busy with his work right now.



Speaking of his work...let's demand cash.



Nice. I wish I could choose to promote myself.



Congratulations, Joshua.

Joshua: Thanks!

Any more thoughts about tying the knot?

Joshua: Not right now. Things are going just fine the way they are.

Uh-huh.



Looks like Steve likes the older women...

Ashley: Hey mysterious voice! Come here!



What's up?

Ashley: I was doing some cleaning, and look what I found.

Pictures?

Ashley: Of people, kids, who I've never seen. And there's more...who are these people?

It's a long story. But right now I should really be checking up on your son...



Yeah, I think it's time Danielle made her exit. Thanks for coming by, he'll call you when he's a teen.



I see you've got a new hobby.

Ashley: I really want Steve to be eating the best food.



Make that Steve and a sibling...

Ashley: I hope Joshua is ok with this.



Ashley: Say "chair"

Steve: No!

How do they learn to say "no" so fast?



Joshua? You're actually helping with a birthday?

Joshua: Ashley's a bit preoccupied. She found these pictures, and it's really freaking her out.



What a handsome young man.

Steve: Thanks!



Ashley, you're pregnant. Get back inside.

Ashley: What? I am a pleasure sim, after all.



You're helping with the homework, too?

Joshua: Between the garden and those pictures Ashley barely has time for anything else.



Well, at least the gardening is paying off.



Baby time! And of course she's giving birth in the bathroom.






Ashley: Meet our second son, John!

And I can see he has his father's skin...



Wow, Joshua. You actually look pretty thrilled.

Joshua: What are you talking about? Why wouldn't I be happy?

Well...for starters you're a romance Sim...



Steve: I got an A+!

Great job! If you're looking for your mom she's in the garden.



More pictures?

Ashley: I put them all together. I think they're trying to tell me something...

I highly doubt that, Ashley.



What are you doing now?

Ashley: I'm going to figure this out if it kills me! There must be a reason there are these pictures in my house!

There is a reason, and trust me it's not as mysterious as you think.



Hey, look. Steven brought home a friend. Sadly, you two are cousins to there isn't much farther it can go.



Happy birthday, dear John...



He looks just like his dad, too.



Wow Joshua, you're really playing the father role this week.

Joshua: Well Ashley's still a bit obsessed with her garden and those pictures. I have to admit, they are kind of creepy.



Looks like another new friend for Steve...what is it with the men in this town meeting girls in their pajamas?



Still working in the garden?

Ashley: Yup. I still don't understand what those pictures are about, though.

Look, I'll explain it to you, but it will have to wait until next week. The week is over.

Ashley: Oh, come on!

Sorry...my hands are tied.



A Message From the Mysterious Voice: So here's the real story of those pictures. When I gutted the houses from Tranquility Acres to make the affordable, some of them had pictures on the walls of the Sims that used to live there. The pictures have been there since the beginning-I just couldn't bring myself to delete them. Now that I'm writing the file limit "monster" into this story, I figured the pictures could come into play.

And now, it's time for the Class of Round 3 Graduation Ceremony!
