A Tale Of Two Sisters

Caliente House, week 1: Nina, Dina, Griff, and two babies!


Nina: Well, we've had some interesting times around here lately! First Dina went and married that old coot Michael Bachelor. Then he died, without leaving her a dime. Then she set her sights on his brother-in-law, Mortimer Goth, but that old coot went and got engaged to that trashy Brandi Broke. Well, there's plenty more fish in the sea, you know? That's what I always figured - why limit yourself to just one sim, when there are so many out there?

Of course, that doesn't mean I was any less upset about seeing Don with Abhijeet, or whatever his name is. I mean, I know he sees others, but does it have to be right in front of me? Some tact wouldn't hurt! Well, I paid him back... but more about that later. I was talking about my sister.

We had a break-in, see. Fortunately nothing was stolen - we had just installed an alarm, and the cop got the burglar, sure enough. But Dina was really upset about it. Yeah, I was too, but not like her. She started saying she was going to make sure nobody ever tried to steal from her again. I asked her how, and she just grinned at me and mumbled something about honor among thieves. Whatever.

Anyway, she went downtown, and that's when she met this guy. Griff Fancey. He's really kinda sexy, you know. He and Dina are just crazy about each other - and he has lots of money, too, which we sure could use around here. I joined the army, but that doesn't pay all that much, and Dina hasn't found the right job yet, she says. Well, hey, I want to be a chef, not a soldier, but someone's gotta pay the bills! The good thing about this job, though, is that I get off pretty early, which leaves plenty of time for fun and games.


Like I said, I paid Don back for cheating on me. He wasn't so amused when the shoe was on the other foot, the hypocrite! He caught me with Amin - or was it with that waiter? - and started screaming and stamping his feet. Yeah, Don, I can woohoo with other sims, too!

Still, I imagine I'll take him back eventually. He really is hot.


Amin is a decent sim, you know. He brings me presents and stuff - a fountain, a karaoke machine... Lots of nice stuff. He kept coming back with more gifts even after Michael's ghost scared him half to death! We sold the fountain, and some of the stuff that Dina's boyfriend gave her. Then she decided instead of presents, she wanted all his money, and she asked him to move in. No, I'm not kidding. They got married and everything. You won't ever catch me doing that!


Dina: Don't listen to Nina. I think she honestly believes that I only married Griff for his money, but she couldn't be more wrong. I love him! And he loves me too, unlike Michael and Mortimer, who just wanted a pretty young blonde to show off. Yeah, I like the finer things in life, but so does Griff. That's just one of the many things we have in common. So now I'm Mrs. Griff Fancey, and I couldn't be happier about it!


Well, one thing happened that made me even happier. I'm having Griff's baby! Nina got herself pregnant too, by one of her boyfriends - Amin, I think she said - so for a while there we were racing each other for the bathroom. I'm not sure how we're going to make room for two babies, but we'll find a way. Maybe we'll add another room or something.


Nina: Yep, Amin is the one responsible for getting me knocked up. He was here when the baby was born, too. It's a little girl; I named her Tina, in keeping with the family tradition, sort of. She looks a lot like me - well, as far as you can tell with a baby.

And wouldn't you know it, Dina had her baby that very same night. You see, her first hubby's ghost wasn't too happy that she got re-married, so he kept popping out and scaring people all the time. That night, just after Tina was born, he scared Dina so bad she went into labor.


Dina: I have a son! Griff and I have the most adorable little baby boy. I named him Drake. Griff is so happy to be a father, you wouldn't believe it. He's always cuddling the boy, or feeding him, or playing with him. If I wasn't just as crazy about Drake myself, I could almost get jealous!


Nina: Well, this baby stuff really isn't me, you know? I'm outta here. Griff and Dina can take care of the kids. Can't be that much harder to raise two instead of one, can it? They can be sappy happy together. I'm going to get a place of my own - downtown would be nice... I'm just gonna help myself to the TV and stereo and some other things; they've got so much money anyway, they won't miss it.

Bye!
