Ames, Round 1


When Lila and her beloved husband John had her daughter Jasmine,  life was almost perfect.  She only needed one more child to have the square family she had always hoped for.  But three months of trying for a baby turned into 4 years, and she and John decided to adopt a little one, Akachi.  But two weeks after they brought baby Akachi home, Lila found herself pregnant - with twins!  Michael and Maverick.  Within one year their family of three turned into a family of six.  John did more than his share to help, and although it wasn't what she had planned, Lila loved life.  And she was anything but disappointed when she found out she was pregnant with the couple's fifth child, Ezra.  Six weeks after Ezra was born, John contracted a terrible virus.  Within three days, he left Lila a widow with five children on her hands.  For several months, Lila tried to make ends meet in their neighborhood, which wasn't exactly middle class.  But she soon realized there was no way to go on living that way, so she decided the family would take the more affordable path and move to Winterport with 47 simoleons to spare.

Upon hearing that Lila could not afford beds for her children,  an anonymous donor contributed a sizable sum to the family.


 Ezra loves being in a big family!


Michael:  Can we keep him mom?
Lila: No.


Welcome wagon drama again.


After the other 4 went to school,  Ezra played music for most of the morning.


 And Lila chatted on the phone...


Jasmine found a job in the medical career.


Every night, Lila dreamed of Kennedy Cox.





Then came Ezra's birthday.  Poor child acquired NO toddler skills.  Lila  and Jasmine had their hands full with their careers.


 But Ezra wasn't one to complain.


 Jasmine had a very hard time this week because all she did was cook for her siblings.


Lila came up with a brilliant scheme:  Marry a rich sim.  Not so much that the idea of marrying again appealed to her, but her children needed a decent provider, and she wasn't cutting it.  The whole family shared one small bathroom.


 It wasn't that she was a gold digger!  It was for the children.


 She held her breath when she asked Kennedy Cox.  Rich and handsome, that would've been perfect!  But it was not to be.


 He was not too poor to be invited into her bed.  Lila, however, was terrible embarrassed to find one of her sons asleep in her bed.


 They waited an hour or two, and then Akachi wandered in.  Probably not going to get any privacy during mid day when you have 5 children.






 That evening, Lila went to the club for a date with an old timer:  Colby Parker.



The next morning, Lila was promoted for the second time.
 

 That evening was the three oldest boys' birthday.








3 decent aspirations.


 Afterwards,  Lila headed back out for a date with Colby.


 And despite running into Mrs. Crumplebottom ...
 


Colby and Lila went home to tie the knot. 


But Lila's wish to marry a rich sim was not fulfilled..

Will Lila be able to forget about Kennedy Cox?  We will also have to see if Jasmine manages to get her job back next week.
