Chapter 1.3

Life goes on, even after nights like last night. Araceli wakes up bright and early the next morning to make some breakfast before work. No cuts this time, but I assume that’s only because eggs don’t require chopping.

Aaaand something breaks for the first time. Araceli doesn’t really know what she’s doing. She just hits it a few times until water quits spewing out of it.

She throws the extra parts on the edge of the lot for now because trash cans are too expensive for our liking.

At the end of the week Araceli finally has a few days off. She immediately invites Braylon over. After talking about it for a bit they decide to move in together. They just can’t stand being apart for any longer! This is the only way they’ll get to see each other on a daily basis.

After moving in Braylon gets a haircut and some brand new boots! I think he approves.

His traits are cheerful, perfectionist, and geek. He has the computer wiz aspiration which also gives him the quick learner trait.

It’s harder than you’d think to get a picture of him not squinting..

Braylon gets a job in the Tech Guru career then him and Araceli head to the library. Araceli looks up art references for work while Braylon plays Sims Forever. They really need their own computer considering Braylon’s career revolves around it, but they’re broke.

While exploring the library Araceli found the kids section. It reminded her of her dream to have a family. She would be bringing her kids here to read and play someday.

Braylon and Araceli love living together! No matter what they always have the other right there to talk to. They’re always so happy.

Moving in together gives them lots of time for woohooing!

Araceli starts feeling strange so she takes a pregnancy test.. just to be sure. Its positive! It was pretty unexpected but she’s very excited about it. She’s finally going to have the family she’s always wanted. Braylon is going to be such a great father, she thinks.

Araceli tells Braylon to sit down because she has some big news. Once she starts explaining that she’s going to have a baby Braylon gets this nervous look on his face. He’d never really given much thought to being a father.. Especially not this soon!

Despite how scared he is, he knows that he wants to be there for his child. He gets down on one knee (in his pajamas) and asks Araceli to marry him.

She quickly says yes and almost cries at how beautiful the ring is! How did she get so lucky?

With a baby on the way money is needed more than ever. Araceli spends her time painting for money.

The father to be does his part too. He digs up and sells fossils. Being a geek he enjoys collecting things.

He also found this cool figurine! How did that get in the ground?

He even does some fishing for a little extra money. He’s not very good at it and only catches one fish but it’s something.

Araceli is having trouble adjusting to the cons of being pregnant.. like needing to pee every five minutes.

Braylon does everything he can to make his pregnant fiance comfortable and happy. That includes doing the dishes every day. How sweet!

Araceli and Braylon are proud to announce that they finally have some walls! Their unborn child won’t have to live outside. I think they’re both pretty relieved. Especially Bray, being the perfectionist he is. Everything has to be perfect for his little one!

They couldn’t afford siding for the outside but it’s still a lot nicer than living outside.

I’m going to end this part here. Thank you for reading!
