Baby 35 and 36

Having a lot of room in our house, I got right to work getting pregnant before the kids aged up.  The father for baby 35 was going to be Matthew Turner, the eighth baby of Dawn Turner's 100 Baby Challenge  Matthew had red-white hair and grayish-purple eyes.  His green skin complimented his hair very well.  He looked so much like his father, Harold Holiday.

I called Matthew up and he agreed to come over right at that moment even though it was getting kind of late.  He sounded quite excited over the phone, at least, as far as I could tell.

He arrived right on time and was as handsome as ever in his tux.  I had put on a short, strapless, white dress that surprisingly went very well with his outfit even though I didn't know it until he came.  Sorry you can't really see it.  Someday I'll ask the kids to take a picture of me in it.

Because his mother was doing the 100 Baby Challenge too, he knew how things went.

Right as I came out of my house to invite him in he grabbed me and kissed me gently on the lips.  It nearly blew me over.  I wasn't expecting this.  It was Simon all over again.  I felt like I was in a trance.  Fortunately, I had enough sense in me to kiss him back.  His lips were soft and firm, and not wet and slobbery like some of the fathers.

"Wow, you're really... um good at kissing!" I responded lamely to his affection once we parted.  He smiled.

"So are you, Calista."  He said in a way cooler, attractive voice than mine.  That made me blush.  Why was I feeling so shy all of a sudden.

He knew what to do.  "Are you ready?" he asked in a very low voice.  It was deep and full, yet kind and caring at the same time.

He seemed to be a master at this, so calm and sure.  For some reason I was very nervous and I kept shaking.  I couldn't speak.  I had never felt like this.  It must have been his lovely green skin and holiday hair intimidating me.  He was able to sense that I wasn't ready.  He must think I'm such a wimp.  I shouldn't be feeling like this, especially on my 35th baby! 

We kissed some more, his tongue slowly coaxed my lips open and I felt his hot, minty breath in my mouth.  His arms pulling me towards him, his hands moving across my back as if he couldn't grab me any tighter (I hoped that I didn't have chicken breath from dinner).  Usually I didn't waste this much time making love to the fathers but tonight was different.  Matthew was amazing at kissing and I hoped that he was just as good in bed.

"You're so beautiful," he murmured against my hot skin.  I nearly forgot that we were outside and pretty much everyone could see us.

"Let's go," I finally replied, as he kissed my nose and my eyelids with light, tiny kisses.

My voice was shaky and uneven and I was still catching my breath.  Boy, could Matt Turner kiss.  I wondered if he had had some past experience with this kind of stuff, by participating in other challenges or something.

"Are you sure you're ready?" he asked for the second time, in his the most beautiful and considerate voice, as we got onto the bed.  He really wanted me to feel comfortable and I felt as though this was my first time even though I had done this many, many times.  After my heart had slowed down enough for me to hear, "yes!" slipped out of my mouth.  He grinned at me.  His eyes luring me closer.

Then with his hand intertwined in mine, we did the deed.

What fun!  We did it a few times "just to make sure" even though I knew we had both heard the lullaby, loud and clear, on the first try.  I was sad when he had to go.

"It's your birthday!" I exclaimed the next day as I held a giggly baby.  I had been anticipating this day.  I really wanted to know if Beaumont would get his looks from his father, Ugh, or not.

He slept through the whole celebration.  I don't know how because everyone was screaming "Happy Birthday!"

Beaumont, baby 34 looked quite normal and didn't inherit his father's dog-like features [Most likely because I don't have any of the CAS sliders that made Ugh].  Beau had blue hair and blue eyes.

Sergius, baby 33, gelled back his hair.  With his blond hair like that he looked like baby 11, Ferb.

Simon, baby 32, was very cute and his eyebrows were very bushy.  He was also lean and tall.

Adrasteia and Callidora wanted to grow up in the outdoor birthday area.
"Enjoy the last time you'll get to spend outdoors in the daytime sis."  Adrasteia shouted.

They were very sad to not be able to go outdoors ever again but also happy because they would  finally become mature vampires.

As Simon and I clapped and celebrated I turned around and noticed how muscular Simon was despite being very scrawny and thin at first glance.  His arms bulged and rippled with muscle as he cheered his siblings on.  He would definitely be able to impress many young women with those.  It must be from his father I thought *sigh*.  Then I thought, Ahh!  Look at mine compared to his, it's a bit embarrassing how un-muscular I am.

Adrasteia being the oldest went first.  The bats and the red stuff flew around her.

Adrasteia, baby 30, as a young adult.

Callidora was next, her face had a look of uncertainty on it.

Callidora, baby 31, as a young adult.

My two vampire twins decided to keep living with me until the next baby came because there was plenty of room in the household.  If there hadn't been any room, I would have made them move out.  Being vampires, the girls, or should I say young women, had to stay inside.  But, at night, they were free to roam and hunt.  Oh, and recently, Beaumont learned to walk.

ADRASTEIA'S POINT OF VIEW

"Come on Calli, let's go hunt!" I exclaimed excitedly.  We were no girly-girls.  We ran out to the park and the nearby stores in search of some easy targets (I run pretty well for wearing a skirt).  Mom made us be sure that we asked before we bit anyone so we wouldn't become complete savages.

Callidora found a good meal out of Peter Peterson, the husband of our half-sister Orchid (baby 24).

I scanned the area and spotted Aqua Colore.  I knew that all three of her brothers had participated in mom's challenge.  She was very beautiful.

After talking to her I convinced her to give me her arm.

Being a vampire, I had quite the effect on humans and they seemed to obey to my every will either out of fear or admiration.  She reluctantly agreed even though I could tell she was scared and didn't want to do it.

I prepared myself to bite down, I hadn't ever bitten a real human before.  I sunk my teeth into her flesh but instead of drinking from her I wanted to turn her, just to see what it was like, so I injected a large amount of venom into her arm.

The same bats that had gone around me when I had grown up flew around Aqua.

She looked quite dazed afterward, her beautiful face disfigured slightly, but I knew that in a couple of days she would make a beautiful addition to the vampire community.  Maybe she'd change her siblings....

That was when I remembered that I was hungry.  I didn't want to drink from Aqua because I had just turn her so I chose to drink from Raines Clement.  He is the husband of Flora (baby 5) therefore my brother-in-law.  He just happened to be standing nearby and I was so thirsty that I had to make do with him.

I bit down and sucked his blood.  Fortunately, my vampire instincts helped me to not get my clothes full of blood and to not suck out too much.  I didn't want to be a murderer although, after thinking about it, I knew no one would have the guts to throw me in prison if I acted scary enough.  Also, if I did get arrested, I could easily escape with my strength, charm, and whits.

Mmm!  It was delicious.  Much better than the plasma juice and the plasma fruit mom had encouraged us to eat when we were young.

"Race ya" I challenge Calli after we were done and we ran home before the sun came up.

CALISTA'S POINT OF VIEW

I watched a lot of t.v.  One night I noticed that my beautiful Callidora was really getting herself ready for a special event.

"What are you doing sweetie, going out with Phoenix again?" I asked curiously.  Phoenix was her boyfriend.

"Yes," she replied, fiddling with her dress.  "He's actually coming over here this time after we spend a little time at the club."  I left to leave her some privacy.  I hoped that this relationship would work out well for her.  I knew he made her really happy.

CALLIDORA'S POINT OF VIEW

Phoenix Vircus had brown hair and bright blue eyes.  He wasn't an avid shaver so he had some stubble on his face that I thought made him look very manly and I loved how it looked on him.  We had only gone on a few dates before this so I knew a little bit about him and I liked him a lot.  He also had very strong arms, although not as ripped as Simon's were, but of course I didn't tell him that.

Phoenix and I went to the dance club and danced for a few hours.  Then I invited him over and we went straight up to my old room to spend the night.  He wasn't 100% vampire but he was 50%.  His father, Scorpio, was a vampire and his mother, Christa, was a human.  By the luck of draw, he turned out to be human.  As we walked into my room we stood there for a while and talked.

"So, have you ever wanted to be a vampire?" I asked him.  I had wanted to ask him since our first date but had never had the chance to.

"Oh yes, I have.  But... I can't." he replied sadly.

"Why not?  If you don't mind me asking."  I really wanted to know.

"Well, my father didn't want to change me.  He used believed that vampires were  too dangerous and that only certain Sims should become vampires.  But he doesn't believe it anymore."

"Wait, if he doesn't believe in that anymore why can't he change you?"  This was getting really puzzling.

"I don't know, my father just doesn't want to be responsible for turning me.  He says that if I really want to become a vampire so badly I should be able to find another vampire to change me.  That is why I moved to Sunset Valley.  I had heard that there were many vampires here so I planned on asking one of them.  As you can see, I haven't succeeded yet."

I nodded and then we both leaned in and kissed, as if we had read each other's minds (Well, I had.  Don't worry, I don't do it all the time, I'm not a creep).  His flesh was warm and moist with sweat from the dancing earlier that night.  It was so delicious to me.

We had only kissed a few times, just little pecks, but this time we went to full blown making out.  After a while, I pulled away.  His eyes had a dazed looked to him.

He leaned in wanting more but I stopped him and said "Wait."

And he listened, like a good gentleman.

"Would you mind donating a little of your blood to me?" I asked.

He said of course and held out his arm.

But I had a different idea.  Once he realized it he appeared quite excited.  "Oh I see!" his eyes seemed to say.

I bit his neck very gently and instead of sucking his blood I injected my venom into him.  This was a very delicate procedure especially because I was near his neck.

He started to panic and his arms squeezed my waist hard, but once he realized what was going on he didn't back away and stayed very still, his arms still around me as if he was going to perish and I was his only lifesaver.

As I injected the venom into his bloodstream the bats flew around him as the metamorphosis had begun.

Afterward, only a few seconds later, he was quite dizzy.

"Steady... steady.  Are you alright?" I asked him, he said he was fine but I still held onto his face.  Just to make sure.

"Thank you," he said finally.

Then he leaned in...

...and kissed me some more, just as I had promised he could do.  After a quick "bye" he walked out to his car and drove for home.

"I'll comeback once the metamorphosis has been completed."  He shouted, looking back at me.  I was happy.  This had only been our 3rd date and I already knew that he was the one.

CALISTA'S POINT OF VIEW

Before the day the baby was due, Aja Hart invited me over for a casual get-together.  Of course I couldn't say no.
There were a few other people there so I wasn't the only one.

It was very casual and people mostly sat around and talked.  I talked a lot with Aja because she was the person I knew the least.  It was a bit awkward.  She wasn't much of a conversationalist so I prompted her.  This is where all my charisma skill goes to.  Watch and see my amazing skills (not)!

"So..." I started off.  "What do you do for a living?"

"Um, I'm a scientist."

"Wow, that's... cool."

"Yeah, I guess it is."  Awkward silence.  Apparently we don't have much in common.

As if to add some drama to the plain scene my water broke and my body prepared to give birth.  I hardly did anything because I was so used to the feeling.  I'm not saying it didn't hurt it's just that I knew what to do with the pain.  Believe me, it was almost unbearable.

Only Aja freaked out because everyone else knew I was doing the challenge and knew what to do about the labor.  I drove myself to the hospital right away.

After a very short 3 hour labor baby 35 was born!  It was a boy Matthew and I named Harold Matthias after Matthew's father.

Baby 36 was a girl.  I named her Dawn Terise after Matthew's very strong and courageous mother.  She was also doing the 100 Baby Challenge and I felt it an honor to name her granddaughter after her.

Unfortunately, neither of the twin inherited their father's green skin tone but that was okay because now I had two adorable new babies!

NOTE

Thank you so much to ForeverHailey/Dawn Turner for giving me permission to use Matthew.

Sorry I didn't really focus on Calista or her other children much.  I was making this a shorter and quicker moving post to make it more unique.  Plus, I need a new thing to focus on because sometimes there is only so much to do with Calista. I was sort of taking a break from her.  Her daughters were a little more interesting this time around.
