Round 11: Cipriani-Sharpe Family

Last week in the Cipriani-Sharpe household Ben Cipriani reached his LTW of becoming a Criminal Mastermind, and decided to retire. He also fullfilled his IW of maxing 7 skills, and tried desperately to establish any type of family connection he could for his recently deceased girlfreinds daughter Eden Sharpe. Ben was happy to raise Eden as his own, but worried for her as he had little time left.

We start the week with a couple from the past trying to reconnect with eachother.

Ben and Starla had a rocky past to say the least. Though they had been able to put his infidelity behind them, Starla had already remarried. Now, with her second husband Edward recently deceased, the two reached out to eachother.

Ben relied on Starla for advice in raising Eden and she relied on him for friendship...possibly something more, but she was sure to keep things at friendship.

Starla acted as a mother figure to Eden and was something of a friend to her. But she was in the same situation as Ben being the same age he was. She would not have been able to take her in after Ben's passing. But she wanted to be there for her while she could.

And the more she spent time with Eden, the more time she spent with Ben. He still loved his ex wife. It had been her decision to kick him out all those years ago...he had wanted to work through it, but had understood that she couldn't at the time. Now, with her husband gone, and Ben needing her more than ever, the two did feel that old spark. They had been married for many years, and had four handsome sons together. There was a history there.

****************

It wasn't long before it was time for Eden to grow into a teen.

Eden Sharpe

Family-LTW-Have 6 grandchildren

Gemini-1 sloppy, 9 outgoing, 7 active, 6 playful, 3 grouchy

She turned out lovely, if a little rebelious.

Her grades were decent, they slipped a bit in highschool due to her focusing on her new job flipping burgers rather than keeping her mind on her homework, but all in all she stayed in line. Ben and Starla saw to that.

And they saw to spending ALOT more time together. As their days on earth drew to a close, they threw caution to the wind and decided to rekindle their once passionate romantic relationship.

***************

Finally, Ben decided what he would do to protect Eden from beyond the grave.

He activated a servo that he had purchased from his brother some time ago.

Zola was ready to serve her purpose as friend, confidant, and protector to Eden. But Eden wasn't as sure.

The older she got, the more she missed her mother. Never knowing her had started to take it's toll on young Eden.

But after a heart to heart with Ben, she decided that maybe Zola was in her best intrest. He explained how she could be powered down when not needed, but that she was only there so that Eden wouldn't have to be alone. They had not heard from her father since she was a child and Ben made sure to warn her against opening up to a realationship with Jonah.

Accomplishments this round: Eden is a teen, Ben hangs on to life for a few more sim days!
