What You See Is What You Get

The years went on & things were always good between the parents & the kids. Marcus was now on his third marriage. Malik was soaring through high school. The twins were the dynamic duo of New Crest Elementary - everything was as perfect as can be, until 17 year old Mason, got his first wiff of WW.

Malik was dominating school, the twins were thriving, Marcus was by far, the greatest father to these kids. Aleah couldn't have asked for more - then she was diagnosed with diabetes. When the twins were three she had a gigantic scare & had to have surgery. Marcus being the dad he is took care of the kids while Aleah recovered. While on his second marriage Marcus couldn't help but think of what life could've been if he had married Aleah & done right by her. After all, she was the only woman out of all the ##### he has had, to have his kids.

As the years went on, Marcus & Aleah kept their fling going - when Malik hit the ripe age of 9, Aleah found herself pregnant by Marcus again, this time with twins, Maleah & Mason were born & boy did Marcus love that just as much the second time around as he did the first. His boys were his world but his daughter, his only daughter was his universe. When the twins were 6 months old. Aleah found out Marcus was married - she wasn't hurt but she knew the woman she was, she couldn't sleep with Marcus anymore. That sure as heck didn't stop him from trying though.

By the time Malik was 4, Aleah & Marcus had a routine down. Marcus got Malik every weekend & the occasion visits happened. Along with those visits of course came the occasional case of crabs but what else is new? They were the perfect set of co-parents the Sims Universe had ever seen (in my game ok).

Malik's infant days were a bliss. Malik knew who his dad was & loved him all the same. The love Marcus couldn't get from anyone else, his son filled that void. Being a father was everything Marcus could have ever imagined it to be. Why he hadn't done it sooner, he will never know, but making Aleah the mother of his offspring was probably the best decision he had ever made.

Bringing their son into the world was the most magical moment in Aleah's life - Marcus was there every step of the way. Seeing his first son being born was the greatest thing Marcus had ever experienced. His love for Aleah grew 5 x more that day. Their son Malik Flex was healthy & perfect in every way.

Marcus was so involved with Aleah you would think he worshipped the ground she walked on. Truth is, Aleah is the only one that didn't require anything more from him & that made him want to give her more. She loved him but wasn't in love with him - Marcus spent weeks at a time with Aleah & loved every second of it. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, etc every holiday everyone knew where to find Marcus. Aleah loved being loved but she knew that this was just a façade of what could have been.

Telling Marcus she was pregnant wasn't a surprise for him as he knew what he was doing. Aleah wouldn't allow Marcus to move in on the sole fact that he would never commit - she was prepared to be a single parent. Although Marcus would take her out & treat her as his S/O, Aleah knew that it would always just be for show.

At twelve weeks along, Aleah suffered from a miscarriage & blamed Marcus. Aleah always knew Marcus wasn't going to commit but she loved him & he certainly loved her. Marcus didn't want Aleah out of his life, so three months later. Aleah was pregnant again, along with having another case of crabs.

Bella & Wesley welcomed their second daughter Weslee Vega into the world. Bentlee wasnt so happy about the new baby (which she asked for) but came around the second day of meeting her.

When  you’re there for your bestfriend during her abortion procedure & she’s there for the birth of your first baby!

Bess married the love of her life Marquise (deceased). They bought forth a daughter. Marquise never got to meet his daughter as he died trying to fight Tom Peeping. At his funeral his work buddy Akira took a keen eye to Bess and the two fell in love (kinda shady but whatever). He loved Belius like she was his own. Then soon his own came along. Little Aleese. They tried for a boy (hence the blue vibes) but another little girl was born. Kaleese (not pictured)
