Diary of a Drifter-House #4-Chapter 7-Hats off to Harry

It looks like Harry's Hard Work is really paying off.

and

He mastered the Rocket Science Skill.

I made my final upgrade to my most advanced inventions ever, the Electroflux Wormhole Generator.  I turned it on and stepped in and what happened next was amazing.

I was instantly transported to the planet sixam by means of our normal transportation device, something we call a loading screen.

I talked with one of the natives and it turns out that they were having a party. She was so nice and she invited me to go with her.

I went for a little while just to be courteous,

 but I was more interested in exploring this wonderful world.  I collected some unique plants and I decided to see if I could grow them in my own garden.

I also found a few geodes and crystals.  I brought those home for examination too. However this examination was going to be done in my home in my own laboratory.

I suddenly had the feeling that my body was slowing down.

I called work and told them it was time for me to retire.

It also was Skyla's birthday and I wanted to enjoy her party with her.  I even made the cake.

Uh Oh it looks like a have a moody teenager on my hands already.

She was much happier when she opened her gift and seen the brand new clothes we purchased for her.

And we redecorated her room a bit.  She is a young lady now and she doesn't need the toys anymore.

She even has her own private bathroom now.

Something tells me she is going to be a handful but hopefully she will grow out of it and continue the family legacy. I've already talked to her about it but I don't know what job she will have to do.  I didn't think the science career was for me and than I turned out loving it.  Hopefully she will love whatever life has in store for her just as I enjoyed my life.  I wouldn't have lived it any other way.

Diary of a Drifter House #4-Chapter 6-An Alien Among Us

I received a party invitation Dana Jameson from one of Tamika's friends.  He thought it a little strange that he received the call instead of his but he accepted the invitation for the whole family to attend.

Dana did visit the science lab once so Harry was familiar with her but it was his wife that was friendly with her.

Everything happened so fast that I didn't even see that it was time to sing Happy Birthday and I didn't realize that it was Dana's elder birthday.  That was not the only thing I didn't realize.

Dana had a little boy to take care of.  This must have been the reason why I was invited to the party.  David was the love child of Dana and Felipe Feng.  Felipe was the son of Victor and Lily Feng who lived in San Myshuno and he was also married to Angelica Goth.  David was the result of a one night stand when Felipe, as he called it, felt like slumming it for one night.  The Feng's were not going to recognize David as one of their's and they had the perfect leverage to use to keep Dana quiet.  Dana was an alien and she didn't want that information to get out.  Dana happily took care of David by herself without any problems until now.

David was still a toddler and with her elder birthday here she knew that the chances of her staying alive at least until he was a teenager were not good.  She couldn't send David to live with his father as the Feng's wanted nothing to do with David.  She couldn't send David to her home planet as David was born human like his father.  Yet she wanted a legal guardian for David.

She asked Tamika if she would like to be his legal guardian.  Tamika said she would only if it was ok with me.  Dana was probably going to outlive me so if Tamika was fine with taking care of two children on her own, I had no objections.  I even suggested that both of them move into the house now so David could get familiar with all of us.

There was no way I could say no to this as he is a cute little guy and I can't imagine why any man wouldn't be proud to be his father.  I also wanted to set up his own room and who knows maybe he will be interested in science one day too.

Dana without her disguise.

It did turn out that David's birthday was a day after they moved in with us.

I love my girls but I do have to admit that it was nice having another man around the house.

We did have an unfortunate incident during David's birthday party.

Rania died during the party and grim came to pick her up.

At least that is what they told us.  Tamika and I slept through the whole incident.

Diary of a Drifter-House 4-Chapter 5-Daddy's Little Girl

Luckily for us Skyla's toddler days came to an end.

She was adorable and as smart as a whip.  Most of her toddler skills she learned on her own and did a pretty damn good job I must say.  You know she does get that from me.

However she was a rambunctious wild thing too.  She was indeed a handful.

Who grew into a cute little kid.

She did turn out to be a whiz kid I knew she inherited her intelligence from me but she is also a slob.  Its a good thing I have a sim ray with the clean option on mind control.  I'll probably have to use it often.

Tamika and I had already changed her room.  Skyla wasn't a baby anymore and her room needed to grow up along with her.  She absolutely loved the art table and even more to my delight she loved......

the chemistry set I put in my laboratory for her.  We spent hours and hours in there together.

She was a natural at it.  Just like her old man.

No matter how busy I was with my work I always made time to spend with Skyla.

"Who is that Daddy?"

"Skyla, I think it's time for you and I to go in now dear"

Tamika and I took care of our garden every day and continued to build and furnish our little home. We had all the basic essential so now our money went towards decorating the house.  Whenever we spent time together I knew that I truly met my soulmate.

Mom called and invited us to the love festival and I gladly accepted the invitation.

I made sure to throw some petals at my beautiful Tamika and I learned something that day.  I didn't need to graft for dragon fruit, all I needed was an invite to the romance festival.  I'll make sure that Skyla knows that and passes the information onto future generations.

Skyla made her way over to the karaoke machine and spent most of the night there.  Mainly it was because she enjoyed but she had another reason.....

she said that we were being so lovey dovey that it was embarrassing.

I almost missed it but I was working so hard I didn't realize it was my birthday. Tamika and Skyla couldn't wait up any longer and I don't blame them as I did arrive home later than usual.  However there was the cake on the table waiting for me.

I blew out the candles.

and I became old really fast.  One would think its time to retire but not me, I still had things to accomplish at work not to mention finishing Grandma Darlene's legacy.
