Chapter 1.2 - Photobombing Toddler

Welcome back to the Knight legacy!

I am still doing a lot of overtime at work, which is why it has taken me so long to get this out! I have managed to get the legacy underway, with two children here and the third soon to arrive. It's moving along nicely!

Last time, we met our founder Alexa, who liked to raid tombs and sell everything she stole for profit. Before she left, she ordered a seaside cottage to be built on her plot of land.

She did not expect it to look like someone had just sneezed everywhere.

This mess of a house was created by me going into the costal blueprints and slamming them together.

She also did not expect that her Simslist ad for a slave to pay the rent housemate to be answered by a young man with his infant daughter.

Alexa immediately started checking him out.

Alexa: *internally* Jackpot~

Meet Riley Goldsberg. This mysterious man is overemotional, flirty, athletic, hates the outdoors, and evil. He likes electronica music, eating spaghetti, and the colour black. His starsign is Sagittarius, and he wants to become the Emperor of Evil.

Clara Goldsberg is an adorable little girl who is artistic and friendly. She likes listening to French music and eating macaroni cheese. Her favourite colour is orange and her starsign is Capricorn.

Alexa took the time to get to know her new housemate.

Alexa: So, let me get this straight. You came over from Bridgeport because you wanted to escape your past, and now you're diving back into the criminal career? All so you could get your hands on some diamonds? You do realise that they are laying around in ancient tombs, right?

Riley: Yeah, but that means poking around and getting sore. Plus I have Clara to look after.

Alexa: Oh yeah. And there're ghosts down there. I even got into a fight with one! :D

The next day, with Riley at work, Alexa was left to look after Clara.

Alexa: I think this is what he told me to give you. It looks like dog food to me...

Hell yeah!

Because of his promotion, Riley treated Alexa to a posh meal at the restaurant.

Look how snazzy they look in their formal clothes.

Clara seemed happy enough to be left at home with the babysitter as she played with her doll.

Though she looks like she is plotting something devious.

Despite not being her step-mother (yet!), Alexa was doing a fantastic job of raising Clara.

At least, she thought she was.

Alexa: This is how you do this??? I think???

Well, get as much practice as you can!

Because you've got your own on the way!

Yeah, you probably saw this coming from a mile away. Thanks to Riley's Flirty trait, it didn't take long for the two of them to get together. At all. Riley was already flirting with Alexa from Day One. It was only a matter of time before she was pregnant.

The Summer Festival was in town and Riley didn't have work until much later, so they all went into town to celebrate the warm weather.

Even though Riley hates the outdoors.

Parent of the Year Award.

In front of the fountain with the Town Hall in the background, Alexa enacted her plan.

Alexa: Look, I know we've not been together for very long, but I need someone around to help pay the bills and look after the children. What do you say?

A true wordsmith...

Riley agreed to marry this crazy woman who raided tombs in a miniskirt, and examined his new ring as Clara photobombed the shot.

Here's the newly engaged couple without the photobombing toddler.

How did they celebrate?

By breakdancing on the skating rink,

And taking part in an eating contest.

Whoever said that romance was dead?

Sorry it took me so long to get this out! I've bene working flat out at work due to this damn virus D:

Next chapter shouldn't take that long to get out as I have a couple of days off.

See you next time!

EDIT: I know Riley is the name of the imaginary friend from Generation Five of the McCracken legacy. I randomised his name and went with it D:
