Round 10: Cipriani-Terrano Family

Welcome to 102 Hyecinth Hwy. This is our first visit to this very interesting household. Twin brothers Toby and Trey Cipriani purchased the home together after college figuring that it was a good way to save money, plus their is a shortage of affordable housing on the island at the present time. Let's take a look into the lives of these two brothers with two very different personalities.

First things first, Toby had fallen in love with a beautiful alien girl named Stella Terrano while he was at college. As soon as he moved home, he asked her to move in with he and Trey, and she gladly accepted.

Unbelieveably, Trey (the self proclaimed master romancer) had also found love...or so it seemed. He had decied he wanted to get engaged to one of his college professors Angie Tang. (**players note: Trey had rolled up the want to get engaged, so I siezed the moment)

Things with Angie and Trey went well for a couple of hours until one of Trey's girlfriends, Emily Lee, decided to make an appearance.

Needless to say, the whirlwind romance and engagment were over.

Trey took it pretty hard...

...then he met this woman while she was walking by that afternoon (sorry forgot her name...not that it matters much) and the whole engagment ordeal was behind him.
************
The week went on, Trey got a job in the slacker career track, and Toby landed a job in the science field. Stella, however was not as successful in finding a job in her preferred profession. She did, however, get lucky in another way...

In the changing booth back when she first moved in. She and Toby had gone out shopping for all of the fancy threads you see them in now, and the two had gotten carried away in the changing room.

Luckily, Toby was as excited as she was about their baby.

Later that same night, Toby was innocently looking at the stars through his high powered extra strength telescope...and all of a sudden a blinding beam of white light began to suck him in. He was being abducted.

When Stella went to look for Toby on the patio, she expected to see him gazing through the telescope. Instead the patio was deserted. With no need to worry, Stella knew exactly where Toby was and smiled to herself.

Other than feeling a wee bit violated, Toby was in excelent condition.

Stella heard the craft hovering and came out to greet Toby. She easily guided the shell shocked Toby into the house and had him sit down for dinner.

Toby talked excitedly about his experience that he could not quite remember. And Stella just listened with a smile. And though marraige was not a usual occurence for her people, she had no doubt that Toby was the man for her.

So the next morning she proposed.

The two were married in a small ceremony durring which Toby took Stella's last name, making him Toby Terrano.

Not long after the wedding, Stella was ready to give birth. She was glad that she had the chance to show Toby first hand what child bearing would be like for him, though he balked at her and denied that he was pregnant stating it was impossible.

Welcome Lola Terrano!

Toby was excited about his beautiful baby girl, but still denied the possibility that he too would have a baby soon. Men couldn't get pregnant!

Some time passed and Toby was defenitly pregnant. A strange thought for most, but Stella had explained the whole thing to him, so none of it was much of a suprise. He had denied it to begin with, but once labor began he knew that there was no question!

Uncle Trey, as he now affectionatley referred to himself, was a big help with the babies. But before they knew it those babies were ready to become toddlers.

First was Lola (didn't make it to her cake...oops!).

Next was Milo! How...err...cute?

Sharon's first order of business after moving in to Aiden's was to get a couple of dogs and start on the path to becoming a successful breeder.

She built a modest kenal and purchased two pomeranian's (**players note: the dogs are a breed I created special for my pomeranian at home IRL**), a male with black fur named Kodiak, and a female with blonde fur named Cinnamon. Her mission was clear, so with all of the right things in place...

...Sharon persuaded the canine couple to try for the first batch of puppies.

Aiden had wanted to wait a while to have kids, but Sharon didn't. So, after a little persuasion, Aiden agreed and the two tried for their first baby.

She was out taking care of the dogs when it was confirmed. She was expecting!

Not a moment later, Cinnamon was ready to have her pups. Three for the first batch, not bad.

Meet Minni, Marley, and Mushi.
Not satisfied with only three, Sharon had Cinnamon and Kodiak try for another batch right away.

Time pased and one pup was born in the second litter.

Meet Missy.

And as soon as the second litter of puppies was born, Sharon was looking pregnant enough to have a couple of pups of her own!

As it turned out there was only one...

Welcome Wes Cipriani!
Aiden spent alot of time tending to Wes, as Sharon was busy with the four puppies. As soon as they were born, she started to screen potential adopters for her pups. Once they were grown, she planned to sell them to qualified and responsible friends and neighbors.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The first potential pet parent was a lovely woman named Paige Cedar. She had heard through the Rose Island grapevine that Sharon had begun to breed pomeranians and she had to see for herself. Normally Sharon would be weary of having strangers in her kenal, but something about Paige was very genuine and sweet.

Though there were several to choose from, Paige seemed to gravitate to Mushi, the only male puppy in the bunch.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
And like a responsible prospective pet purchaser, Paige took the time to meet Mushi's partents before agreeing to buy him.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
By the end of the evening, Paige had made a deal with Sharon to come back for Mushi as soon as he was old enough to go home with her. One pup sold, three to go...16 more to fullfill Sharon's LTW!
