What is my Mom doing here?!  

Tina is surprised to see her Mom turning up..she goes over to tell her the good news!  

Carmen Wynn:  Daddy told me you guys were waiting to find out! I’m thrilled for you, Tina!  Have you told Jina yet?  

Tina:  Not yet..I mean, I literally just found out here at the club!  I’ll call her when I get home.  I really need to call her, it’s been awhile.  That’s not like us.

Carmen:  Everything’s alright between you two, right?

Tina:  Oh yeahhh..nothing but sim life getting in the way. lol

Asya Rasmussen:  Thanks for inviting me to come along with your girlfriends, Brook.  Sergio, Sierra, and I enjoyed you guys’ BBQ the other day.  Sierra is just crazy about lil Everly.

Brooklyn:  My pleasure, Asya..I’m glad you could make it.  This is a great bunch of girls to hangout with.  And I’m so glad to finally meet you.  Leland is way more relaxed now that Everly has a good friend at school. Sierra is smart as a whip!  And I think Everly is starting to get used to the amount of schoolwork they give.

-----------------------------

Tina:  Aww your belly is growing Tehya, time is flying on by!

*Boing-ooinnnng!*

Tina and Tehya look at each other...afraid to speak.

Tina:  Did rubbing your tummy just make mine pop out?

Tehya:  Rubbing tummies don’t make you pregnant, girl..stop. lol!  You been holding out on me, Tina..not fair!  

Tina:  LOL! I know..but I only officially just found out, tho!  *catches confetti*  I’m gonna be a Mom!  We didn’t wanna say anything until we were absolutely sure.

Tehya:  Well, there’s no doubt about it now, all this confetti. lol! More congrats are in order! Yayy!  Our babies can grow up together!

All of Tina’s girlfriends got together and went to the Llama Inferno by @jenba to celebrate Brooklyn’s engagement to Leland.  (Pictured top pic:  Brooklyn Dubose, Tina Raymond, Tehya Morales, and Penny Alston. Not pictured yet: Aysa Rasmussen, and Lola Galvin.)

Tina:  Congratulations, sweetie. I have never seen you more happy and sure of yourself.

Brooklyn:  Lovin’ that haircut, girrl!  And I’ve been meaning to call you.  I really wanna thank you, Tina.  ..Seriously.. cause if it wasn’t for you opening my eyes to Don Lothario, I might not have ever met Leland.

Tina:  Thank ya, thank ya..I’m loving it too, in this hot weather.  

It’s my pleasure to be able to help a sista out, Brook.  Us short-haired girls gotta have each other’s backs. 

Brooklyn:  I know that’s right!

Tina continues:...And, I’m sure you’d do the same for me. I was honored that you confided in me and let me talk you off the edge that night.  Girl, you were about to change your entire destiny, foolin’ around with that player.  My delivery could’a been better, tho.  But, this just goes to show...when one door closes, a better one can open up, if you’re ready to go through it.

-------------------

Tehya:  She is glowing!

Tina: She is!

Brooklyn strikes a pose to show off her glow. 

Ryan Wynn:  Heyyy babygirl, how you doing?  

They hug and kiss at the front door.  Tina is a Daddy’s girl, so she lights up whenever he comes around.  But tonight, she’s kinda tired, and looks the part.

Another thing too...Her Daddy always drops by unannounced.  He calls it ‘kicking in the door’.  

Tina:  Heyyy Daddy, doing alright. A little tired, tho.  I’m doing some work around the house..a little cleaning, a little writing. You know how it goes.

Ryan continues:  Yeah, take it easy..I’m not here to see you anyways. lol  Where’s my son at?

Tina: *playfully pounds him in his arm*  He’s where he’s always at, Daddy, downstairs. lol  ..thanks for that.

Ryan:  I shoulda known..lol I gots’ta come kick in the door on you two..You never come by the house.

Tina escorts her Dad downstairs to the basement, where Usher is practicing his music.

---------------------------------------------------

Usher:  Oh hey Dad.  You should’a called, I would’ve been ready for a game of chess. lol

Ryan:  Ahh it’s okay, I’m on my way home..just wanted to stop by and see how your music is coming along.  You got a top of the line studio here.  *looks around smiling*

Ryan and Carmen Wynn used to live in this house, along with her twin sister, Jina’s family, before they sold it to Tina & Usher for a lot less than what they could have sold it for.  That was almost a year ago..since then, they’ve moved to a more affluent neighborhood called Sage Estates.  Jina and Vin Diesel have 2 young kids now, so they needed a lot more space.  

But, before they moved, they made all the renovations that Tina & Usher had asked for, including this top of the line recording studio.  Tina is forever grateful to her parents for their loving and financial support towards her and her husband.  

Usher:  It’s going really well.  You heard of Javon Moore? 

Ryan:  Yeah, I’ve heard of that cat..he’s up and coming on the scene..specially down in San Myshuno, right?

Usher:  Yeah, that’s him...he’s been producing some of the most amazing beats for me.  Here, listen to this.  He goes around and works a few buttons on the mixer board, and Ryan starts grooving to it.

Ryan:  Yeaaah, man...that sounds nice.  I’m so proud of you.  Keep it up..it’s gonna be a hit.  And, if you need anything more, you know that me and your mother are here for you.  We want you to make it big one day, son. 

Usher:  I appreciate you and Mom, so much, already.  Despite all of this... *motions hands around the studio*  The best thing you ever did for me, was give me your amazing daughter’s hand in marriage.  And now, we may be starting a family of our own.  *smiles*  ...We’re waiting to see what happens. 

Ryan smiles the biggest smile ever...and tears fill his eyes.  

Ryan jokes: No wonder she looks so tired. Yall been matin’ like rabbits. hahaa!

They hug.
