The Redhouse Saga (Updates, maybe)1/8/2013

[Saltypaws]

Alot has gone on in the past few days.  Just when I thought things had calmed down with Monica, something else would come up.  She continues to scare poor Jessica and I am afraid it will cause some issues.

I wish Monica would come to her senses and see we are all on her side and want to help her.  Too bad there is not a vampires anonymous club, wishful thinking I suppose.  Johanna has bonded with little Jolina and it is almost time for her birthday.

Johanna brought a friend home and we had to ask him to leave, he was caught taking candy from little Jolina.  We have had enough of that around here, so he is not welcome anymore.


Here she is all pretty and ready to face this world, however it may seem.



She looks so innocent to everything that is going on, but she is a smart little girl with big dreams, that I hope will all come true.  Chris, I think has gone off the deep end, he has resorted to taking showers with his clothes on.

I am not sure why that is yet, maybe he is going looney or something.
I will say that Jessica is making an effort with Monica.  She is trying to bond with Monica's unborn child, or so it seems.

I even found the two of the playing chess and Monica asking Jessica's advice on kids and type of toys to get for the baby, strange, but good at the same time.


Agnes has been sleeping alot lately and I am afraid her time is close, too close if you ask me.

Agnes was feeling very tired one night, so I laid down beside her for what will probably be our last moments together.

She laid her head on my shoulder and told me she loved me and to take care of our family and do whatever necessary to protect the little ones.

And we kissed, one last time......

because later that evening..........we had a visitor.

R.I.P Agnes Redhouse

That was hard to write, I love Agnes's character and Chris's too.  It is going to be hard losing him later too.  Funny how we become so attached to certain sims.

Farewell Agnes.

Awww, so sorry that the Grim came for Agnes and too bad that she couldn't be around to see Monica's demon spawn baby.

At least Monica and Jessica are getting along a bit better, although if I were Jessica I wouldn't turn my back.

Getting caught up on my Redhouse reading....love the videos and the story is fantastic! Absolutely cannot wait for the next episode! Thanks for the wonderful entertainment!

Oh no R.I.P. Agnes!
And Jolina is so cute! She definitely portrays the innocent look very well.

Monica would probably thrive in a basement. Since it is dark down there ALL the time
She could also hold weekly VA (vampire anonymous) meetings down there too!
Where did you get those lollipops? Natara Radcliff wants one!

R.I.P. Agnes

Jolina is beautiful.

@ Kattiq: The lollipops materialize out of thin air when an Evil Sim performs the "Steal Candy" interaction. Nooboos would look so cute licking a massive lollipop!

How did I not see this post earlier? OMG. Poor Aggie. Why is Jess walking around in that get-up? Sure, be hard on Monica for walking around in her skivvies, but let Jess meet grim in her unmentionables and garters.

I think Monica has been very well behaved lately. I hope that changes soon

Monica's entry:

I know, I am a bad person.  It didn't start out like that, not at all.  I was just angry and jealous that Jessica could have a family and I couldn't.  I guess I went about it the wrong way, but now it is too late.  I really want to try and live a normal life, but, what have I done.  I have ruined the dynasty that daddy was trying so hard to create.  Now, I am not sure what to do.

Not long after mom died, I went into labor.


Meet little Joslin.  I am not quite sure what to do with her, so I just stand and watch her sleep.


She is a good baby, but I have locked myself in my room so no one can come down.  I don't want them to see that I have a soft side for this little bundle.  I still dislike children, but I am drawn to my daughter, which of course is a vampire.  They say that they can learn skills faster than normal people, so maybe she will be someone great when she gets older.  As for me, I am not sure if I am going to stay on this earth where I can hurt anyone else, so for right now, I will just say that I will do the best for my little one and I will take the days as they come.

[Saltypaws]

Unfortunately, I think I got turned around.  I believe in an earlier post, Jolina had turned into a youth, in this post, Jessica is still holding her, good grief, get it straight salty.  lol  Oh well, you get the meaning.  I need to slow down, I am getting really confused and then I am adding to it by using all first name starting with "J".  I didn't even realize it, so if I get mixed up on a name, just slap me, ok. haha  I think it is Johanna, Jolina and Joslin.  No wonder I can't remember anything.

[Juxtaposition]

Oh yeah, naming is the one place I don't love aliteration just because it confuses me too.  I mean the worst is plainly multiple births, where they dress the babies the same, then give them aliterative names, and then get mad at me cause I can't remember which one is which LOL

I love Monica, vampires are spiffy.

Your videos are getting much smoother, the practice must be helping

Good job

[Katluvr]

Wooooot!  Monica's going Darth Vader on us...she really isn't the evil, blood-sucking vampire she makes us think she is.  I'm a sucker for the sympathetic villain.

[Saltypaws]

Don't let Monica fool you, unless I am so blinded by the fact that her mother died knowing the family was in turmoil or the fact she is just plain crazy.  I was going to bury Agnes at the cemetary, but chose to bury her in our favorite spot out back.  I still frequently sit out there in hopes of seeing my beloved wife.  I just wanted to hold her again and tell her I love her and tell her she made my life complete.

In other news, remember when I spent the night at Amanda's well, I decided to visit her to cry on someones shoulder and found out this...

I wasn't sure whether to be happy or sad or what, so I still cried on her shoulder, for Agnes.

We talked for a while and I went home, feeling rather sad and happy at the same time and told Amanda to call me when she went into labor.  I went home and sat out back to think about what my future was going to be like.  Could I tell the kids what I had done?  Would they understand?  I have to tell them, they are going to find out when they see little red children running around town.  Agnes, where are you when I need you the most. 


At that moment, my phone rang and it was Amanda, screeming she needed me.  For an old man, I can still run pretty fast.  When I got to the house, the first place I headed, was for the crib.  What a beautiful baby boy, A BOY!!!  Finally, after all girls, this was a welcome sight.  Meet Chad Redhouse.

The room wasn't finished yet, so I fixed it in no time.  I know Agnes would have wanted me to.  It was like that for so long when Agnes lived here, I felt it was a good thing.

We talked for a while about the future and I told her to be patient, that I couldn't just spring all of this on the family right now.  It was too fresh after Agnes's death, so I am not sure what got into me, emotions, thrill of a baby boy or what, but this is what happened.......



I think I must have gone mad for that instant and I don't think I would call it regret what I just did, but I think I am actually happy again, for the first time in a while.  Agnes was a great mother and I loved her with all of my heart.  She was a loner though and kept to herself and hardly ever laughed.  Amanda is the opposite, she is outgoing and warm and loves to laugh.  So lets just say, one chapter closed in my life and another chapter has begun.

Thanks for all of the comments.  Actually, this has been a very challenging story to write and oh my, the screenshots, there are so many more than I have been able to post on here.  Some of the screenshots were not even staged, they just happened, especially the fight scene with Chris and Monica, I heard a commotion and that is what I found, lol.  Of course, once there is arguing, they don't need a prompt, mean and evil sims, fight and argue with everyone.  The funny thing is, we talk about not putting cribs in houses that we don't control because they don't use them, but when Nathan went to the house after Chad was born, he was in the crib sleeping, so I guess that is not entirely true that they do not use them and Amanda was dancing, which I thought was pretty cool.  Anyway, enough rambling and I do thank you guys again for all of the comments, makes the hard work just that much more rewarding.
