Willa, still with her heart set on becoming a pop princess, devotes several hours of her day to practicing in the garage with her coveted karaoke machine. She has gotten signifigantly better and plans to take the world by storm...after she graduates college that is. She would soon be on her way to uni, and wanted to get as much mic time as possible. There were rumors that the coffee house on campus had open mic nights and she wanted to be prepared.

Because hers was the only bedroom in the house besides her parents, she had been forced to share a room with her baby brother Arryn. At first she had fought against it, but soon had become used to the little diaper filler. It bummed her out that she would miss being around while he grew up.

Things were also continuing just fine with David, but Willa was a woman of opportunity. She informed David that she would not be able to continue their relationship once they left for uni, but that it had been fun while it lasted.

And then the day...actually, night...came when she had to leave.
See you at uni Willa!

With Willa gone, the house was much quieter. Little Arryn was all set to grow up, and in an effort to keep things low key, Gerard and Ava had a private celebration.

And then the exremely unexpected happened...Gerard lost his job due to a bad chance card. He was worried about breaking the news to Ava as they had only just been able to afford some remodeling and decorating in their new home. Now he worried he would have to take it all back...

When he broke the news to her he was already in tears.

She didn't take it well. Little did Gerard know that she had also recieved news that morning...she was pregnant AGAIN...she hadn't thought it possible, but it was true. That news on top of Gerard coming home having lost his job sent her over the edge.

Instead of sinking into the couch in front of the tv, Gerard took iniative to spend more time with Arryn and help in any way he could around the house until he found another position. Fortunately the job hunt didn't take too long, but they were still hurting for funds...especially with a third baby on the way.

Reluctant until now to give her wishing well a chance, Ava had no choice. She needed her wish granted.

Luckily it worked! They needed a little extra money to get buy, pay the bills, and buy groceries and viola! A thousand simoleans fell at Ava's feet.

When Gerard got home that night Ava appologized for her past outburst and explained what had happened with the wishing well. Now the two could relax and plan for their new arrival.

Ava soon had their third child. Another son they named Quinn.
*****************
Their busy lives passed so quickly, the couple still had to work hard to make ends meet, that they hardly had time to rest and before they knew it (and before I knew it) it was birthday time.

Loved Willa in her garage- there's a rock star in the making.

Hubba hubba, I had to do a double take, I mean, my first thought was Ava was up to her old tricks again... Gerard cleaned up nicely!
What? Again? Risky woohoo or did you... hmmm..
The kids are total cuties!
*waving by to Willa* See ya soon!

Awww, poor Gerard! That was a tough way for Ava to take his bad news! I'm glad she was more understanding later on!

Sally said...

Wow - what a transformation on Gerard. I like the maternity wear and what good looking kids. Looking forward to seeing Willa in Uni...

Unknown said...

Gerard did look totally different with his new hairstyle and clothes. He fits in with Ava much better, I think. I'm assuming that Willa will come back after Uni to be the heir?
