Don't stop the music

Round 4: 1991-1995

Little Nyah Fielding has left the toddler days behind her and is about to start school. On her last night as a careless child she enjoys a nice dinner that the nanny has cooked.

Unfortunately when it's time to pay the nanny for the evening, there's not enough money. So she takes the family's dining table and a couple of table lamps as payment.

Max and Regan won't let a missing dining table bother them. They simply buy a new one with another loan.

During breakfast Max pops the question. He's been hoping to do this for a long time and now it's just seems like the perfect moment.

Despite the fact that they're living together and have a child, Max is still a bit nervous whether Regan is going to accept the proposal or not. But he needn't worry, she is thrilled and says yes.

Nyah hears the good news when she comes home after her first school day. Her parents are finally getting married - tonight! There just happened to be vacancy in the new wedding chapel and Max and Regan don't see any reason to wait.

Regan and Max exchange their vows in a very simple ceremony in the Little Pink Chapel. Regan's family participates in their little party, even Rianna comes from the university.

Nyah congratulates her parents after the ceremony. They won't have a reception and they also won't be going on a honeymoon yet. Maybe in a few years when they've stabilized their finances.

After the wedding life continues as usual. Max helps Nyah with her homework. He's thrilled to be part of his daughter's life now. He missed out a lot when she and Regan were still at Brixton Academy.

Regan reads Nyah to sleep. The story is so enchanting that she continues reading even after Nyah has fallen asleep.

Nyah is quite outgoing and makes friends easily. She brings Paige Harper home after school and the girls play "Mary Mack" for hours.

The next morning Regan is not feeling too good. It kinda reminds her of the time she was pregnant with Nyah. And yes - she is pregnant. It's a good thing she has the day off work so she can rest.

Max is thrilled to hear the news when he comes home from work. He immediately plays a serenade for his wife with his new guitar.

Nyah has inherited her father's interest in music. She got a violin on her 7th birthday and she loves playing it after school.

Nyah also enjoys the stories that her nanny Lilly tells her. Lilly is very enthusiastic in preserving the nature and she often tells Nyah about recycling and saving the planet.

Deja vu! Regan is completely exhausted after her last day at work before her maternity leave starts. It was worth it though as she got a job as a Science Teacher. Max brings home some good news too, he's going to start working as a Freelance Photographer.


Notes:

• Title from "Don't stop the music" by Rihanna
• More babies! I swear I'm gonna put all my sim ladies on birth control next round! Well I'm happy as long as Regan isn't having triplets or quadruplets (and I'll make sure she isn't!)
• I might have to change the seasons in Wellington. My computer has been having a hard time handling the winter, it's been snowing constantly and the game keeps lagging quite badly. I love four seasons though so I'm not sure what to do.
• Next round I will start adding the sims' ages as they are on the last day of that round. As for the Fieldings, on Day 20 Regan is 29, Max is 38 and Nyah is 8.
