Hi Mum, it's Sammy (clone 59 - part 3)

I decided to go ahead and arrange for some friends to celebrate my last night of bachelorhood for tomorrow. I found that there is a place called Red Rendezvous that has upstairs areas set up for various functions. Dance floor, music, nectar.

It's not a proper stag party, I don't know enough people in town to only invite guys to come.

The bliss of a good night's sleep with the prettiest girl in Barnacle Bay. Soon to be mine forever more, my personal ray of sunshine.



What more can a man ask of life?

"Sunny? Are you ok sweety?"

"I think the food went off in the fridge. That or maybe the smell of those dishes you didn't clean up. It's made me ill."

"Do you want to see a doctor?"

"I hate doctors. I hate hospitals. If you weren't sick before you got there, you will be after."

"If you say so. But if you aren't feeling better soon, I'm taking you whether you like it or not."

Would you believe that the home improvement books all recommend using a hammer on a toilet to make it unbreakable? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Maybe it's to break off any bits that are loose?

Well, it seems like an odd technique to me but it does seem to having a positive effect on the toilet.

I have made a difference at the station as the fire safety officer. Finally everyone is wearing their uniforms when in the building. Since our uniforms are flame retardant, that makes everyone safer when they go out on a call.

Not that I've heard of a single emergency in town that someone else handled. It's always me.

Sophie and Maximus seem to be getting along very well.

Sunny went over to the local park to earn some tips with her guitar. Amelia was thrilled when the Tomasi family stopped to listen. Marta and Thomas are two celebrities who just moved to Barnacle Bay to escape their fans in the big city.  It mostly worked, but they are now huge fish in a tiny little pond.

First Amelia took Marta's picture. Then she tried to impress her. Apparently Marta was not impressed by any of Amelia's achievements, and of course our household funds won't impress a soul.

My Sunshine found Thomas to be a little easier to impress. I'm not sure if it was her conversation or that she's easy on the eyes, but he decided to let her keep talking.

By the time she had to leave for work, she was pretty well acquainted with Thomas. Not friends yet, though they are well on the way to a friendship.

While my love was chatting up celebs and practicing guitar, I was out fighting fires and saving lives. It is definitely a more stressful lifestyle.

Then again, you can always say you made a difference at the end of the day.

After work, I headed off for the party. I've never actually been to a bachelor party so I didn't really know what to expect.

Sophie made the speech. Next to Sunshine, Sophie is one of the people I know best in town. The speech was full of "Tonight we mourn the passing of Sam's bachelorhood. Tomorrow he enters the shackles of marriage." kind of stuff. A bit silly but everyone cheered at the end of it.

Sophie doused me with fizzy nectar. It's a good thing the outfit is a rental but I don't think I'll be getting back the deposit when I return it. Dried nectar is an awful thing to shift.

While I was still congratulating Sophie on her speech, Ms Sparkles arrived.  Apparently someone ordered a dancer. I wonder who?

Ms Sparkles is very strict. She demanded our attention from the moment she set foot on the property.

So all the guys marched upstairs to watch Ms Sparkles strut her stuff.

She is very pretty but I don't think she'll be a final contestant on "Sim's Celebrity Dance Off" at any time in the near future. Her dance moves were a bit dull.

Too much nectar. Too much dancing. Too much party. I passed out on the floor. A stereo eventually woke me up and I went home.

Amelia was already in bed by the time I got home. There was a note on the table that she had something to tell me in the morning.

"Sam?"

"Yes, Sunshine?"

"I have some news for you."

"Well?"

"Sam, we are going to have a baby!"

"A baby? Are you sure?"

"Yes Sammy, it's certain. I'm pregnant."

"That's wonderful news. A baby!" I paused for a deep breathe. "Sunny? I think we should go ahead and get married. Do you want to?"

"Yes, Sammy, I want to marry you. Could you take care of the details?"

"Of course, Sunny. Leave it to me."

My Sunny is tired and hungry. Well, the least I can do is make sure she's eating well.

"Sammy, you make the best pancakes ever."

"Thanks Sunny. I don't mind cooking the food. Just don't expect me to remember the dishes too often?"

It seemed like either hours or months since Sunny agreed to marry me. Time has warped out of all control.

No matter how long it's been since we agreed to the wedding, our big day has finally arrived. We will finally be husband and wife.

The wedding and reception was in the Red Rendezvous again. They have a small area set aside for wedding ceremonies.

"Amelia, you are looking breathtaking."

"I look like a blimp. Sammy, I don't know. Maybe I'm not ready for this. Maybe we shouldn't get married."

[sigh] "Sunny, you are the light of my life. I want to marry you. And you do not look like a blimp. You are, without a doubt, the most beautiful girl in this room."

"Sammy?"

"Yes Sunny?"

"I do love you, you know that."

Our friends, coworkers and a few random Bay residents gathered to watch the event. Sunny even managed to convince Thomas Tomasi to come, he spent most of the ceremony sobbing his eyes out.

"Our guests are ready, Sunny. Let's do it." 

"I, Amelia Kane, do take you, Sam Grant, to be my lawful husband. With this ring, I pledge to be faithful to you. To love you. And to be with you for the rest of our natural days."

"I, Sam Grant, do take you, Amelia Kane, to be my lawful wife. With this ring, I pledge to be faithful to you. To love you. And to be with you for the rest of our natural days."

My first kiss with Mrs Amelia Grant.

We are so happy.

Then it was time to cut the wedding cake.

"Sammy, the baby is kicking."

"Really? Already?"

"I think he wants out." Amelia seems to think it's a boy. I haven't really thought about whether I'd like a girl or a boy more.

Our wedding went so well. A few of the guests had to disappear before the ceremony or the cake being cut.

"See Sunny? That wasn't too bad, was it?"

"It was beautiful Sam. All the guests thought so."

"Are you happy?"

"Yes dear. Very."

It's bad enough that our wedding party had a few crashers. But both of the elders who crashed the party had an 'accident' while people were supposed to be enjoying refreshments.

You know me, Mum. Normally a mess doesn't bother me, but this was really over the top. For the love of plumbob, there are restrooms downstairs. It freaked poor Amelia out when she realised what happened.

Bonus pics

Well, Chrysame, I am still sorry that Marta is looking quite odd with brown hair. But the rest of the Tomasi family are fine.

When Amelia first spotted them in the park, Thomas had Tulip. Once Amelia started to try to Impress Thomas, he put Tulip down and within a couple Sim minutes, Marta picked her back up the did The Claw. So I think it's safe to say that the family is well and happy, even if Marta doesn't look quite her normal self. :) Tulip is a jewel and she makes me happy.

Thomas and Tulip. Thomas is usually quite the sweet and attentive family Sim. Adores kids, devoted to wife. It's good to see this Thomas is doing well that way.

These two pics alone nearly double the awww factor of this post. Just saying. 

Our first look at the evenings entertainment. Sammy got lucky, she is a hot chick.
