The O'Mackey's and The Teatherton's:
Johnathan a rising member of the Uberhood Mafia and his wife Sarah were not pleased when their teenage daughter Alexandra came home from school one day and informed them that she was pregnant. Both Johnathan and Sarah knew that their daughter had been dating not just Gabe O'Mackey but also Jason O'Mackey. When asked who the father was Alexandra burst into tears stating that she wasn't sure. Johnathan was fit to be tied and wanted the blood of the person who in his mind had taken advantage of his daughter. All Johnathan could see was the ruin of his daughter's future especially the lengths that he had gone through making sure that she was in a proper school and planning her college education. Alexandra confused about what she was to do being a Mother at this point in her life scared the daylights out of her but then yet again.....
Meanwhile, Johnathan decided to take matters into his own hands and decided to go and had had a little “sit down” with the boy's father Dr Seth O'Mackey OBGYN at SimPE Institute. It had been decided that upon the birth of the child that it would be put up for adoption and that Alexandra would be told that it was a stillbirth. This was so unethical in Seth's eyes but Johnathan did make the proposal one that he couldn't refuse. When the time came for Alexandra to deliver she was rushed to the SimPE Institute and was heavily sedated immediately. Upon delivering the baby Seth had an instant connection with the little girl. He did as he was instructed by Johnathan and informed that there were complications and the child had passed. A crushing blow to Alexandra and with the help from the Psychiatrist she recovered and returned to her life as a teen and the child became a distant memory. Alexandra continued to date both Gabe and Jason unsure of which one to go steady with all the while skilling for Scholarships. As Alexandra was beginning to enjoy her teenage years again she became a Big sister to two brothers Johnathan II and Bains. It was a summer evening when Alexandra decided what a wonderful night for star gazing so she and her father both were taking turns looking through the telescope when a blinding light came out of nowhere and swept them away. Yes, it was an Alien Abduction. The only positive thing for Alexandra that came from the abduction was additional funding for college and for her Dad? The Aliens felt that he would be a perfect specimen to impregnate. As the twins were aging into children Johnathan gave birth to a son Ethan at the same moment Sarah announced that the family was expanding again. Alexandra is ready to head off to Uni.

Meanwhile at the O'Mackey's:
With the birth of the little girl, Seth kept his end of the bargain with Johnathan Teatherton and informed Alexandra that the baby had died during the birth. The O'Mackey's were rewarded as promised they received reputation and a hefty check in an undisclosed amount. He was so taken with his first Granddaughter that he brought her home to his wife Prudence informing her that the child was a foundling left at the front door of the Institute. So Prudence and Seth adopted the little girl in which they named Jules after their son's favorite author Jules Verne. Seth never disclosed the pact that he made with Johnathan, he and Prudence raised Jules as their own, Seth never letting on that one of his sons was the father. The boys welcomed the new member with open arms proud of the fact that the big brothers and protectors of this little bundle. As Jules began to age into a toddler she began to look more like her mother every day hoping with all hope Seth worried if anyone especially Alexandra that they had her daughter. Hearing that Alexandra and Johnathan had been abducted by Aliens elated Gabe and Jason through constant pestering they finally talked their father into getting them a telescope. Beyond belief, they too were abducted as well as Seth. As with the Alexandra and Johnathan, the boys came back with extra money for college and Seth came back preggers. Seth did perform a DNA test to see which of the boys were her father and the results were placed in a safe in his office where no one would ever find out the answer.

Across the street from the Viejo's is Catherine's Best Friend Linda and Joseph Martin. Linda and Catherine had gone to school together and were BFF's it was so natural that they married two BFF's. Dr. Joe Martin was hired by the SimPE Institute after he invented and patented his Resurrect- O-Nomitron, His work was not done there he also perfected the Resurrect- O-Nomitron to where you could turn back the hands of time. He has also been working with Dr Faith Goodie in the field of Genetics and has created new DNA. He has found that if you work and commune with nature of an extended period of time not only do you earn Garden Badges but by using a selected pesticide you can be transformed into half human half plant he has conveniently named Plantsim. This hybrid that is part plant and part sim has the same characteristics of a sim with the exception that their only basic need s are those of a plant sunlight, water, and love. They can cross breed with other sims as well as germinate their own seedlings. His neighbor Rose Greenbaum had agreed to be a test subject which proved to be a success. Not only was she able to germinate a daughter she also was able to produce sim children. His wife Linda works for the Lisafashonista Architect firm where she is a partner in the home and business design. They have 3 children Andrew, Lane, and Reese. Andrew the eldest married high school sweetheart Elan Augustine much to Joseph's dismay Andrew did not attend University and follow in his footsteps but chose a life of crime. Seeing his success a criminal mastermind he was had been recruited into the Uberhood Crime family. Andrew married right out of high school to his high school sweetheart Elena Augustine unhappy at first about the marriage both Joseph and Linda were elated with the birth of their first grandson Jacob and soon thereafter came a granddaughter Augustine. Their home was big enough for his entire family but Andrew's job soon relocated him to another hood.

Rose Greenbaum had always loved nature and her gardening to the brink of obsession so when she was approached by Dr. Martin about DNA alteration to become part plant she jumped at the chance. It was a beautiful existence being able to to be one with nature. And it was so easy to be able to take care of her basic needs. With Gardening being such a passion Rose grew and sold fruits and vegetables to pay the bills. Life for Rose was almost complete wanting to have 3 children attend college she decided with her new form gifts to attempt to grow a plant baby which on the first try was a booming success, with daughter Daisy it was so easy. Daisy came to her with the same needs as a toddler there wasn't the hassle of teaching her how to walk, talk and potty train the only thing that Daisy needed was Love and she could skill to her heart's content. But Rose always loved the nursery rhyme that was taught to her as a child so she passed that down to her daughter. The only drawback that Dr. Martin did not tell her about children was that Plant babies grow from toddler straight into adulthood now Rose could not germinate her own children to go to college. One day as Rose had gone to the 12&3 Gym in Bluewater that she met up with the infamous Hall of Famer Daniel Pleasant. He was so handsome and such a smooth talker that she succumbed to his charms and unlike herself had a woohoo with him in the hot tub at the gym. It was soon after that she was having a feeling that she never experienced before nausea, then came the bloating could she be?? by the 4th day, she knew for sure when she popped out a baby bump. This didn't happen with Daisy so she went straight away to Dr. Martin to see what was happening to her. All that he did was smile and congratulated her on being pregnant with a simchild. Overjoyed at the prospects of having another child maybe this one she could send to college. With the excitement of the news she wanted to share it with Daniel but unfortunately, he was never to be seen again. Rose did give birth to not only to one child but triplets! First came Sage, then Thyme and also Rosemary. Unlike the ease of Daisy, Sage, Thyme and Rosemary had needs of a sim. They also needed to be potty trained, taught how to walk and talk as well. Though it was tiresome it was well worth it with the help of her now adult daughter Daisy they successfully talk the trips everything they needed to learn to carry them to the next phase of their lives. Meanwhile, Daisy too wanted to graduate 3 children as well. Daisy was out shopping when she met the handsome Tango Caliente and they embarked on a whirlwind romance and soon Daisy found herself expecting a simchild both Daisy and her mother were overjoyed at the prospects of another child coming into the home It was at the Trip's birthday party that Daisy gave birth to son Basil. Rose did invite Daniel and his family to the trip's birthday party which was a huge success Sage a spitting image of his father chose at this time to take the Pleasant name as he bonded with his father, grandparents, Aunt Jennifer, Uncle John and cousin Lucy. Thyme and Rosemary politely refused Daniel's offer and chose to keep the Greenbaum name.
Wanting another child Daisy decided to germinate her own and was blessed with another son Chervil. She too was a little let down that Chervil would never be able to go to college. So Daisy devised a plan to get a sperm donor, she called a friend of hers Dr. Nicolo Lothario to inquire if he knew of anyone who could help her out. He told her he'd be right over because he'd be more than willing to help her out with the situation. As Nicolo helped Daisy he also helped himself to her Mother Rose. For Nicolo only 2 more woohoo's then that would make it 10 different sims! As Nicolo bid adieu both Daisy and Rose were feeling sick. Nicolo'sthough Mission accomplished!
