2 Bridge St.: May 2008 Archives

Maria woke up with a little surprise. She'd better call Jerald.

She invited Jerald for dinner and gave him the news.

"I want to get married."

Jerald is not opposed to the idea, but this is all such a shock to him.He wants to continue the conversation over dinner.

"I'm going to need help raising our child. Not just financial help, but help with the day to day things like potty training."

Jerald tells Maria he wants to be a part of their child's life. Maria would have preferred a ring, but she settles for his promise to help raise their child.

Saxon is not the only dog with glowing eyes. It seems he has a brother, Abel.

Jerald wanted to prove to Maria he was serious so he brought over his hot tub, but Maria was already asleep.

Maria wondered if Jerald really means to marry her.

She went into labor while Jerald was asleep.

Twins! Jerald was quite happy about the girls.

He moved in to help out with them, just like he promised.

Both girls have green eyes like their parents.

LTW: Become a Captain Hero

Money may be tight for a while. Jerald lost his job when some wedding guests got sick off the seafood gumbo.

The girls are more important than money or career.

Jerald has something he wants to ask Maria.

He proposed to Maria, who is happy the girls will have their father in their lives. They decide to wait to get married until Jerald gets accepted into the Police Academy.

Maria baked the girls a cake for their birthday.

Round 2 Summary:
Maria was promoted to Platform Jumper. Buster was reached the top of the Showbiz career. Jerald was fired (chance card) from the culinary career. Twins Alyssa (Cancer) and Ariel (Scorpio) were born. Jerald moved in and proposed to Maria.

Maria Macbeth moved with her dog Buster to this one bedroom house at 2 Bridge St. Buster had the run of the yard and Maria didn't think she'd need much space.

Her new neighbor, Susan Duncan, wanted to hear all about Maria's adventures in Sim City.

She was glad to make a new friend, particularly since Susan seemed more than willing to accompany her to check out the hotspots downtown.

Maria had a difficult time with Buster during their first few days in Stratfordshire. The vet assured her that this would pass as Buster was merely marking his territory.

In attempt to distract him from his unfamiliar surroundings, Maria found Buster a job as an extra. It seems that in addition to all the theatrical productions, the film and television industries are also thriving in Stratfordshire.

Although Maria made quite a few new friends, there seemed to be a serious lack of eligible bachelors in town. Her friend Susan told her about the local matchmaker, Gertrude Jackson. So one Saturday, Maria gave Gertrude a call and asked to be set up on a blind date.

Gertrude may need a little more practice at matchmaking. Maria paid 1000 simoleans and all she got was a pretty dull date with Craig Rowe, local handyman and crank.

Maria kept in contact with her friends in Sim City. She reports that she still hasn't seen Stewart McPatrick yet, but that she is doing very well in her job as a Gold Farmer. Oh. And like, there are no eligible men in Stratfordshire.

Some of the dogs in Stratfordshire are a little unusual. Maria is not quite sure what to make of Saxon and his glowing yellow eyes. He seems like an ok dog though, so she doesn't run him off.

Maria met Jerald Miles at her neighbor Mary's house. She wasn't sure what to make of him at first. He's the president of the local Garden Club and Maria's never had much of a green thumb. But she didn't see a wedding band and she had grown tired of sitting at home or going out with the girls on a Friday night. So, she decided to ask him out. Who would have guessed that he would take her on her first dream date? Maria finds Jerald attractive but she's not sure if he's "the One". She always figured "the One" would make her heart flutter.

As Maria wonders if her true love is out there somewhere, she takes a moment to reward Buster. He's been promoted to understudy based on his mastery of Roll Over and Speak.

Round 1 Summary:
Maria received 3 promotions in the gamer career track. She went on 2 dream dates with Jerald Miles, president of the Garden Club. Buster received on promotion in the Showbiz career.
