1. One

2. Welcome the 100 Pregnancy Challenge. I originally got the idea from
Rae-Rae on the Sims 2 New website, which I’m not entirely sure it still
exists. Anyways she had the 100 Baby Challenge. An of course I wanted
to make it harder, because well that’s how things go. I had this house on
the edge of Laguna Isle, my legacy hood and decided I needed to break
down and do something with it. So I said why not let a poor single
woman who’s going to have a lot of kids fix it up.

3. Meet Flora Solei, she originally had skin 4 and black hair,
but a baby making challenge demands recessives so here
she is. She’s a popularity sim with the LTW of being a
Media Magnate. I had my dad pick a bunch of random
numbers so she’s a Libra and like buff men in swimwear.
I’m going to roughly follow the Who’s Your Daddy by
Csquared criteria for baby daddies. Anyways on with the
show 

4. Flora looked up and down the street with a sigh, she
had thought Laguna Isle was going to be bigger. The
brochure she hand been handed had mentioned a
legacy family on the island. Usually that meant a well
off neighborhood, but here the neighborhood
seemed positively unfinished. Much like the house
she was assigned.

5. It was certainly large enough, but completely
unfinished and unfurnishes. The Immigration
Office said it was her job to fix it up. She was also
given the option to complete a challenge, 100
Pregnancy Challenge to be exact. Not one that was
done very often. Flora wasn’t a family sim but if it
meant waiving the Immigration fee from
Riverblossom it was worth giving a go. She would
always have a lot of friends.

6. Even with the Immigration Fee waived, buying the
house had eaten up most of her available funds.
The only thing she could afford at the moment
was a front door and a toilet.

7. Luckily she was an avid reader and had read the
brochure front to back, fine print on the back had
mentioned buried treasure rumors. Whispers of Pirate
Steve scattering his treasure all about the island. She
found a shovel behind the garage and got to digging.

8. She had found two bones by the time the paper boy
arrived. He looked at her strangely but just set down
the paper and walked off whistling flatly. She
brushed the dirt off her hands, maybe he just wasn’t
used to seeing people at this particular house.
Especially strange woman digging in the dirt.

9. She browsed through the job section, if she was going to fix
up this house it would take more that just digging for
treasure. There was no offers for her dream job in
Journalism, but she nabbed an offered in the adventure
career. She would get some hands on skills there to help
her get the toughest stories. She left for work immediately
the office not too far from her house. No point in wasting
time.

10. The welcome wagon came while she was away.
Ani-Mei sighed, looking around. Pony was up to
something again. It had been awhile since she had
left this house unfinished, and this morning Ani-
Mei saw someone digging in the front yard. Who
ever it was wasn’t home, she would come back
later and see what was up.

11. When she got home she went back to digging. Her
first day’s wages were only enough to get the kitchen
basics. She still needed a bed and a phone. She only
needed a little bit more. She dug up two rocks to go
with her two bones. That gave her enough to get
those two things.

12. Soon people began walking by her house.
She stopped her digging and greeted Elise
Do and Derek Menon. Elise went inside to
explore Flora’s empty house. Flora and
Derek stayed outside to talk.

13. They talked outside until after sunset. Derek,
even though he was much older than her was
fairly charming and not too bad looking
despite smelling like cabbage.

14. Derek was quick to become her friend. It was close
to midnight when she finally said goodbye, she had
work the next morning and didn’t want to risk being
late.

15. Despite the grass floor and windowless walls,
over all Laguna Isle seemed to be a nice place.
She mused as she got into bed, at work there
was mention of some simselves living in the
region. She would sure to get a spot in
journalism if she could get interview of such
VIPs.

16. Morning came earlier than she expected it to, she
relaxed on her bed awhile before getting up. There
wasn’t much to do at home yet other than dig. She
thought about calling Elise, but the older woman
probably wasn’t up yet. Digging it was.

17. She found only a rock before work. The sun was
rising already when she got started.

18. The paperboy stood for a bit after he laid down
the paper. Flora started to worry about him
because he stared into space with a strange grin
plastered on his face before he left, whistling.

19. As soon as he was gone she scooped up the
paper scanning it for journalism openings. None
again. She sighed, she didn’t want to be in the
military so she would stay in adventuring a little
longer.

20. The skies opened out in a downpour just as
the carpool drove up. Flora sighed, at least
her roof didn’t leak. Already her dig spot
was filling with water. She shuddered to
think of digging through the mud to find
treasure.

21. Work went by quickly. Her office had free
lunch service which meant she didn’t have to
eat much at home. It helped when her bills
came in the mail. She winced a little when
she wrote the check, but such was life. She
did notice another elderly man walking by.
And he didn’t smell like cabbage.

22. Avri Day most definitely did not smell like cabbage.
His laugh was infectious when he faked her out for a
handshake.

23. Flora scraped up her nerve and asked him out
on a date.
“A pretty little thing like you, you tease an old
man.” He replied.
“Just one to see how it goes.” She pressed.
“I’ve always like more experienced men.”
“Well then, I’ll give the old college try.”

24. “See this is so bad.” She said as they slow danced to
nonexistent music.
“Not bad at all.” Avri agreed.

25. It was after midnight before they said goodbye.
Avri pulling into a long kiss. Nope definitely did
not smell like cabbage.
“I’d like to do this again.” Avri said at last.
“Me too, I’ll call you soon.” She promised.

26. Now she just need to figure out how to tell him she
had a challenge to complete. That involved her
sleeping with 99 other men. She sighed, she would
see how things went with Avri before she told him.

27. Avri had given her a computer before their date. His company
made them and this was a prototype. He wanted her to test
and tell what she thought. She searched online for job
opening, still nothing in journalism even with the wide variety
with a web search. She sighed things weren’t going as well as
she hoped in her new home. Thought the date with Avri had
been nice, she was looking forward to another one tonight.

28. “Flower.” Ray smiled to himself. The newcomer was
doing well for herself. Pony would be pleased. He
laid the paper next to the rose and went away
whistling ‘Whistle while you work’

29. After work Flora hopped in the shower only to hear the phone
ringing off the hook. She jumped and dried as quickly as she
could for it only to be Elise. Her heart sank a little, but she
talked with the older woman a minute before hanging up. She
dialed Avri’s number only to get his voicemail. She sighed then
dialed Derek’s, she had a challenge to do and she wasn’t going
to be young forever. Avri would have to understand.

30. “Thanks for coming over Derek.” She said when he
arrived a few minutes later.
“I was in the area, though I have to admit I’m a
little surprised. You say this is for a challenge.”
“Yes, I’m sorry to use you like this. You are my first
friend in the area.”
“Don’t worry about it dear, I know a thing or two
about challenges.” He said with a secretive smile.

31. “You have to relax.” She said when Derek
pulled away when she tried to touch his
arm.
“I know, I’m just a little not use to this.”

32. He hesitantly grabbed her hands and pulled
her closer.
“See this isn’t so hard.” She said with a small
smile.
“I guess not.”

33. Things went better after that. Derek allowed
himself to seduced. She was a pretty thing after
all. And it’s not everyday that an old man like
him gets to be part of a challenge.

34. At midnight they parted ways. Flora watched
Derek head home, that was the best date she had
ever had. Despite his shyness. He wasn’t as
attractive as Avri, but he was more passionate.
Flora knew he would understood the challenge and
what it meant. She was just glad to give the old
man a bit of life.

35. The next morning Flora knew what she had to do. She spent
the morning jump roping to get the one skill point she
needed for work while waiting for the paper boy. She found
herself whistling the song he liked to.

36. There was still none job openings, she would
have to hold out a little longer.

37. Outside a strangely garbed woman let an equally
strange lamp on her doorstep. Flora didn’t have
time to think about she was on the phone
inviting Avri over, thankfully he was home.

38. “I thought you weren’t going to call.” Avri teased
with a grin.
“I did, yesterday.” She poked him, “You weren’t
home.” I called someone else over because I’m
bound to complete a challenge. She yearned to
explain to Avri, but couldn’t bring herself to,
what if he didn’t understand like Derek.

39. She pushed it out of her mind, enjoying the
date. Things took longer to heat up than she
expected, but Avri was much older than her and
things were like that sometimes.

40. Shortly before Avri had to leave for work, Flora
convinced him to the bedroom. Derek was her friend,
but Avri was so much more, she decided. She couldn’t
help but get a little attached.

41. After Avri left she went to check out the strange lamp.
Another elderly woman was standing in her front
yard. Was Laguna Isle a retirement community? She
had only seen elderly people other than the paper
boy. Maybe he took the ferry for Bluewater village
everyday. Were the simselves elderly too? She had
never seen old simselves they seemed to defy time.

42. “Hi I’m Anna Pokémon.” The woman smiled politely ignoring Flora’s state
of undress.
“Flora Solei. I just got here a few days ago.”
“I figured that, Pony was all excited about something.”
“Pony?”
“Oh? She hasn’t come by yet. Drat that silly girl, I’ll put a flea in her ear.”
Anna fussed, “I’ll go now, nice to meet you dear. My daughters will be so
excited to hear about another young woman in the area.”

43. “Oh my God!” She gasped when she turned around to see a
genie floating above the lamp.
“I’m a great and all powerful genie, you may wish for three
things no more.” He said in a booming voice.
“Money.” She said instantly, a giant bag dropped from
overhead. “Thank you.” But her word fell on deaf ears the
genie was already gone. She would save the other two
wishes for later, she may need them.

44. She received 20 thousand from the genie. She
used almost all of it to furnish the house and
carpet and paint. She didn’t skimp on the things
she did buy, but went ahead and got the best she
could afford. She could get more later but having
good quality things went they would last a lot
longer. Especially since she was expecting to have
so many kids.

45. She got into her now comfortable bed upstairs. It
was a weird feeling, she had never lived in a two
story house before. Even her apartment in
Riverblossom Hills had been on the first floor. She
could feel the empty space underneath her feet. It
was kind of fun she told herself curling up under the
covers.

46. Flora awoke with a start, twenty minutes earlier than
usual. She had had nightmares all night about what
Avri’s reaction would be when she told him about the
challenge. Her stomach roiled and she had the odd
feeling in the back of her throat.

47. She barely made it to the toiler in time. Could she be
this nervous? It wouldn’t be the first time she was so
nervous she made herself sick.

48. Hoping her stomach would settle she looked for job openings. Again
nothing. The only thing she could do was keep trying. She hadn’t even
been here a week yet. Maybe she’d call Anna Pokémon and see what she
had to say. Pokémon was an odd last name. Flora mused, must be the
legacy family. She counted her lucky stars that her challenge theme had
been flowers or plants. She didn’t even have to change her name even
though the contract had mentioned that she might’ve had too.

49. The carpool honked and the moment she stood
up her stomach betrayed her. No way this was
nerves, she must have a stomach bug. Though
there had not been any going around. She could
be pregnant and this was morning sickness. Oh
no she’d have to Avri sooner than she thought.

50. As soon as she got home, she called Avri. Only his
answering machine picked up. He wasn’t home.
She swallowed, then dialed Anna’s. She wasn’t
home either. Flora set down the receiver feeling
dejected. She could call Derek he would
understand, but she couldn’t bring herself to tell
him that she had gotten pregnant with a another
man’s child either.

51. She saw some pass by her window, a man, a man actually
her age. She changed out of her work clothes and ran to
greet him. Putting her current drama out of her mind.
“Armando.” He grinned holding out his hand.
“Flora.” She replied reaching to take it. He pulled it away
last second. She burst into giggles and he guffawed. For
some reason that was always funny.

52. They chatted for a bit. Armando lived in Blue Water but had
spent the day on Laguna for a change. Flora tried to keep up
with the conversation but she was tired.
“A real handshake this time.” She smiled as they said goodbye.
“Yeah, I’ll see you around sometime then?” He asked taking her
hand.
“Yeah.” She nodded. Like she needed another man right now, but
she did like him.

53. She popped right after her stomach rebelled one last
time. At least that part was over now. She had vacation
days for maternity leave. She would call Avri tomorrow
and hope for the best.

54. She found some purple pajamas that fit and went
to bed. Tomorrow would come earlier than she
wished it too.

55. She barely got to sleep when she heard something moving
around outside. A man was creeping through her front yard. Her
heat pounded in her cheat she was going to get robbed. The
phone was downstairs she would have to run by the burglar to
get to it.

56. The burglar ignored her on the stairs to raid the
nursery. Flora made it down to the phone and
dialed emergency services. The cops would be
there soon.

57. The cop and burglar fought on the landing. Almost on
top of Flora. She winced every time the cop was hit. He
was way out of shape. The burglar got away with the
crib and swing seat from the nursery. She could replace
those she was just thankful that nothing more was
taken.

58. After the cop left, Flora made herself a
bowl of cereal. It felt like she hadn’t
eaten in days. Guess it was just a part of
being pregnant. She ate two bowls of
cereal before going back to bed.

59. She awoke to Armando standing in her front lawn.
“Armando! What are you doing here?” She asked,
waddling outside in her pjs.
“You’re pregnant? Wow, um, I just going to ask if you
wanted to visit Blue Water today. You said you hadn’t
been there yet.”

60. “Oh, I’m not really up to going out, I have to call the
father you see.” She said feeling guilty watching his face
fall. “Maybe some other time?”
“Yeah.” Armando scuffed his shoes on the sidewalk, “Call
you later then?”
“Yeah.” She said weakly he walked past her leaving her
alone on the sidewalk.

61. She tried calling Avri, with no luck, he was already
at work. She stared at the phone for a minute and
then call Armando back over. Maybe he would
want to hang out even if they didn’t go to Blue
Water.

62. “Thanks for coming back.” She said when he came into view.
“Listen, I like you, but I don’t know if this will work, what about the
baby daddy?” Armando said skipping his usual light hearted greeting.
“I suppose I should tell you. I’m a challenge sim.” She said nervously.
“Like a Who’s Your Daddy?”
“Kind of.”
“Okay, I’ll try, I do like kids.”

63. She popped into her third trimester toward the end
of the date. Things had been going good before that
moment.

64. She ended the date shortly after. Armando gave
her a goodbye kiss her large belly awkwardly
squished between them. He didn’t seemed to
mind strangely enough.

65. She went to bed exhausted, Armando was fun.
But tomorrow she would have to tell Avri about
the baby and the truth.

66. She didn’t waste anytime the next morning and
called Avri as soon as it was polite. He was a little
surprised that she wasn’t asking for a date, just
inviting him over. None the less he agreed and
Flora hopped in the shower.

67. She greet him a bit excitedly being so
relieved that he came. He seemed too
stunned to say anything about her
condition.

68. She made a quick breakfast and sat him down to
explain.
“So that’s mine.” He said quietly asked she finished.
“Yeah.” She whispered, a knot in her belly.
“Dang kid, I’m too old to be a father.” He ran his
fingers through his hair, “I gotta make a proper
woman out of you.”

69. “NO!” She said sharply, then quieter, “I don’t think
it’ll work like that between us. I’ll be okay once I
get a promotion at work.”
“Sure you will.” He scoffed.
“Spend the day with me please.” She said suddenly
as he rose to leave, “I’m due today, I don’t know if I
can do it alone.”

70. She was exhausted but she convinced him to go upstairs
and lay down with her for a little bit. He was stiff and
cold in her arms.

71. It wasn’t much of a surprise to find him gone when
she woke hours later. She stifled tears, she was going
to be alone after all. Her stomach growled after
hours of napping. She headed downstairs to eat some
left overs.

72. She tried to take a shower to relax when the labor
pains started. She scream as loud as she wanted, no
one was around. A small benefit of being alone.

73. The labor pains started and didn’t
stop until she had given birth to
three babies, two girls and a boy.
Arnica, Chamomile and Borage.
They all had her eyes and Avri’s
hair must have been black in his
youth for all of them had dark
hair.

74. “Shush, don’t cry now.” She said patting Borage’s
soft back, “Momma’s got you.”
This challenge would be the hardest thing she had
ever done but looking into her children’s eyes it
would all be worth it. She might not be a family
sim, but she would never be alone again.

75. That’s a wrap for Flora’s first week in Laguna Isle. I hit the random button for
triplets and quads. I figure it would be an extra challenge into the mix, but poor
Flora I don’t know if I’ll do that again. I had hoped her eyes would be genetized
but it looks like not. We’ll after to see after a few more pregnancy. As you can tell,
all babies are named after herbs and plants, I figured it was a little nicer than
naming them after fish.
Arnica is a plant that mainly used to treat
bruising and wounds. It can be taken in pill
form or spread on the bruise in a cream.
But should not be drunk in tea.
Chamomile is herb that is used
from many things, but mostly
drunk in tea from. It’s great for
before bedtime tea because it
lets you relax enough to sleep.
Borage is often used in
sweetening desserts. It’s also
used in tea form to relieve PMS
symptoms.

76. One disclaimer before I go. Always speak to a professional before
trying herbal medicine. I don’t count. We use the herbs at work, but
I’m still learning what they do. A coworker and I made the mistake of
adding Arnica to a tea which we found out that you aren’t supposed
to ingest it in raw form. Luckily we only used one flower, but still talk
to someone or do some research before trying herbal medicine at
home. Otherwise:
