A teen Cadet meets teenaged second cousin, Spring, and they have a REALLY great time together! Stay tuned to find out HOW great of a time they have, along with more additions to Lola's family, including a birth surprise, all in the next update! 

Oh yeah, Cadet loves the money trees! They make him very, very happy! 

Here, you can definitely see that he got a combination of both his father's and the Legasea nose, actually, poor thing. You can also see that he's happy to have become a Fortune Sim! (Haven't had one of those in a while--it's nice to have someone to designate to pick the money trees again!) 

He's a cute teen boy; Orchid's and Darren's features managed to work out well combined together after all! I love these kids' big blue eyes and pretty black hair together! 

Wow, he really reminds Orchid of Darren now. He definitely got his father's eyebrows, eyes, and nose. Luckily, though, he didn't get the mouth! 

Wisteria is so excited for her big brother, she launches three feet off the ground! 

Ooooh, sparkly . . .  

Well, it's time to see what Cadet is like as a teen and what he will aspire towards! 

Cadet reminds Orchid of Darren so much, especially when he is cleaning or straightening things up like Darren always used to do. 

Even Grey has figured out that Ice wants more from Trista than friendship! Guys always tease and play fight with girls they like! Ice, however, is still in denial. 

Albert wakes up to realize that the bunny suit trick has been played on him, too! He is touched, actually, feeling like it meant he was part of the family now! 

Then Orchid was hungry from all the activity she had been engaged in, so she wolfs down some mac and cheese. Green is amused, of course, while Trista Shaw is grossed out and thinking twice about getting involved with any of the messy Legaseas . . .  

Orchid was so happy, she couldn't sleep, so she ran downstairs and shared a happy dance with her brother Grey, who is thrilled for her and really happy Orchid didn't go after another scummy guy. He likes and trusts Albert, which is lucky for Albert! 

Orchid never dreamed woohooing could feel so magical, not just about lust, but about a real connection and joining with another. Lying in bed with Albert afterwards, Orchid realized that it had been so long that she had woohooed that she forgot all about protection! Well, she will accept whatever the fates had in store for her! (The controller really did have them "Try for Baby," so the possibility is there! You'll have to wait and see! :->) 

. . . which leads to even more! 

. . . which leads to more . . .  

Later that week, Orchid gives Albert another call, hinting that it might be a special day for them. After Albert takes a swim, they start cuddling on Orchid's bed . . .  

She hangs the picture up over Darren's urn, and shedding a final tear for her husband, says goodbye. 

When her picture with Darren is finally finished, Orchid truly feels like she can move on. 

Darren, feeling left out, goes onto the deck to reenact his shocking death. 

"While I'm up, will you help me with my huge stack of homework, mom?" 

"Mom, that was SCARY!" "It's okay, ghosts can't hurt you, unless your needs are too low, so make sure you have all of your needs met before sleeping! Daddy didn't mean to scare you; ghosts can't help the way they are. He still loves you and just wanted to see you again. You may even like seeing him one day, if you decide to be a Knowledge Sim!" 

. . . until he decides to wake them up in a very scary way! 

Darren's children are peacefully sleeping in their beds . . .  

Darren must have realized what his widow was doing in the very room his ashes were resting! Orchid wanted to take things slow, so Albert went home shortly after the kissing, but it must have been enough to stir Darren from his eternal slumber! (I've never had my own electrocuted ghost before--they're freaky!)
