Aubree (Jeong) Lewis

1- Never knew who her Father was, Venessa (Jeong) wouldn't tell Aubree.

2 - Has had a nose for journalism and getting "the scoop" since she was in high school. She helped Vera find out who Joey Gates was way back then.

3 - Although she's married, her main focus has been her career. Now it may be shifting more towards family.

Naya (Behr) Grant

1- Naya didn't know her Father either, but Candy was honest with her daughter. She was the result of a one night stand at a bar. Candy never saw the guy again. Her best guess was the guy was just visiting Widenburg for business, given that he was wearing a very nice suit at the time.

2- Naya lost her Mom while still in high school, this resulted in her going through a more dark phase in her appearance and life. When she fell in love with Apollo, she changed. She can say Apollo actually changed her life.

3 - Has a career in fashion but it's just a career to her. Naya hasn't quite found her calling in that area, but she has in being a Mom to little AJ.

Apollo Grant

1- Apollo has always been a bit of a "nerd". He got straight A's all through his schooling. He even had a science set gifted to him by his parents (Evie and Pak) for Christmas one year.

2 - He is horrible at cooking and grilling. He's trying to get better but it's in his and everyone's best interest if someone else does the cooking.

Caleb, the pets and I have been in Sulani since yesterday morning. Apollo and Naya invited us to spend a few days with them and AJ for Sim Independence Day. I jumped at the chance to spend more time with my nephew!

I normally go for a swim first thing when I get back to the island, but this time I went directly to hold AJ. He’s grown so much already! I’m already thinking of Christmas gifts for him. I feel it’s my duty as his one and only Aunt to spoil him rotten.

After handing AJ to Caleb, I went for a swim with my brother. Even though Caleb found that lake I can swim in back home, there’s nothing like swimming in the ocean for a mermaid. The sea is just different. Different water, different wild life. Different air. It’s hard to put into words, but it connects to something inside me that nothing else does.

In Sulani…

Apollo and Naya Grant are getting ready to go take an afternoon swim. Apollo, still fully clothed, watches his very pregnant wife. Something seems to be bothering her.

“What’s wrong?” Apollo questions her. She had been quiet most of the day, which wasn’t her normal behavior. Unless she’s angry, but he didn’t feel like that is what is going on.

“I’ve felt weird all day.” Naya explained, rubbing her lower back. It had been hurting her all day, which wasn’t totally out of the normal lately – being so close to the end of her third trimester.

Apollo opened his mouth to respond when Naya felt it. “I think my water just broke.”

Apollo stood there, rooted in his spot. It was the moment they had been waiting for. “Did you hear me?!” Naya yelled at him as pain hit her. The worst pain she had ever felt in her life.

Apollo finally snapped into action, calling their midwife on the phone. They had chosen to have AJ delivered at home. His Mom, Evie, had both of her children in the very house they stood in. Naya wanted to follow in her footsteps. It made Apollo love her even more.

Hours later…

Just a challenge to brush off the dust of that old yearbook and show the world how your oc or ocs looked when they were teenagers! were they edgy? were they more on the nerdy side? you can share as many pics as you’d like but please if you do join I’d love to see your entries, so tag your posts using the tag #yearbookchallenge and have fun!

Thank you for the tag @zosa95​ !! pictures are under the cut, because I couldn’t get them as small as I wanted them.

Last night….some of it is…hard to remember. Some of what I do remember, could it be a dream? Guess I’ll find out when I go downstairs. First I need to give the aspirin time to kick in and take a bath. I’ll feel more alive after that. I hope.

Okay. I’ll start from the beginning. I’m pretty sure Aubree had a good time, at least. 

We started our drinking shortly after we go there.

Which led to a pretty awesome duet between Aubree and myself. I think we sounded good anyway. We chose to sing “Another LIfe” by Motionless in White.

I think we rocked it.

The last few weeks have gone by quietly. Which is not a bad thing after what has already happened this year. I’ve been spending more time at the Clinic, which I need to do.

Dakota has kept in touch with me. So far, things are going smoothly there. He said he’s sad to see the people suffering there but it happy that he can do something to help them.

Today is an exciting day. It’s Aubree’s bachelorette party! Naya flew in from Sulani to help us celebrate. It’s just going to be the three of us.

“Wow…you sure…uh…” I was at a loss for words and I didn’t want to come off like a jerk.

“I know, I popped big time. It’s cool though. Just means the baby is growing like he or she is supposed to.” Naya said with a smile.

I even got to feel my little niece or nephew move around and kick. It was pretty awesome. I thought when Naya asked me to feel the baby, I might be a little sad. But that didn’t happen. I’m just excited to meet the little bundle when he or she arrives in July.

Well, I better get a bath in and get ready. We’re picking Aubree up at her house, then heading to San Myshuno to go to a karaoke club there. Aubree didn’t want strippers. She just wants a night out with the girls, bad singing and drinking. Of course, Naya will be drinking sparkling cider due to the baby.
