Family Man?

Where are you going, Don?  That’s the third jog you’ve been on this week.

If you want to know?  It’s too crowded at home.  Too crowded everywhere else, for that matter.  

What do you mean, too crowded?

Well… I asked Catarina to move in with me, right?

Yes, I remember.  You trying to figure out how to get around the ‘he has to marry her’ clause in our challenge.

*growling*   I married her, didn’t I?  And let her bring all those creatures, too.

The cats?

Them, too!

Don!!!  Is that anyway to speak about your sons?

I mean, look how cute they are!

They cry all day, and all night, mess their diapers, and …

… well, okay.  They do look kind of cute when they are sleeping.  

*laughs*  Now, you see, Don? This is why nature made it so babies sometimes look like the daddy’s.   So that the daddy’s will love them.  And Nestor and Korey do look like you.

I guess. But we have to talk about these names.  What kind of a name is Nestor for a Lothario?  At least my girls have decent names!

I’m sorry, Don, but we only get to name the ones born in the house with you.  If you and Catarina have another…

Another! 

Now see here, sim god, this house is full!  Full, I tell you!  There are kids and cats everywhere… and you know what?

No, what?

She went and adopted another one. 

Kid?

Cat!  I think she said it was a Maincoon or something.  I have no clue.  But it’s always sick!  She took it to vet 3 times!  And then… then!!!  It had kittens!  Two of them!  That makes six cats living with us!  

I am so so sorry, Don, but you bad the best relationship with Catarina.  It made sense to move her in.

And marry her.  I do kind of lover her.  

Cats and all?

*grumbles*  *sigh*  Yes.  Cats and all.  And the kittens are actually kind of cute.  

So you’re settling in to married life, then?  What about the other ladies in your life?

What about them?

Is that Eliza Pancakes?  And Dina again?!?

What can I say?  Those Calientes are muy Caliente.  

*groans*

And Eliza?

Pretty much in the same boat as Tierra.  Bob’s a great guy,  from what I hear, but he’s totally obvious to his wife’s needs.  They don’t even sleep in the same bed anymore!

I did not know that.

Everyone knows that.  Actually, I heard it from Tierra.  They’re neighbors.  

I see.

So… if you’re still seeing Dina, is there anyone else you’re seeing?  Other ladies… your kids, maybe?

*shakes head*   Nina and Katrina send me pics, I can share them if you like?

I would like, yes…

I included my boys, too. It only seems fair.

Yes, that is fair.  Anita and Alexus both sort of look like you, too.  They (and the boys) have your coloring.

And eyes.  Makes me wonder about the others.

You haven’t seen any of the others?

Uhhhh…

Yeah?

Well, it’s complicated.  

Complicated?

Yeah, see?  After the Caliente babes all shared pics with, I got to thinking about Tierra and the little girl, Christen.  It was almost time for her to become a toddler and I was curious… 

Okay, I’m with you so far. How is that complicated?

She still lives with her husband.  Anyway… I went over there…

And it didn’t go well?

I guess you could say that…

I see, yes! That is bad.

Tell me about it!  The worst part is, her husband?  He says he and Tierra are trying to make things “work” and I need to leave her and them alone, and that means Christen too.  Hello!  She’s my baby!  If I want to see her, I damn well am going to!

That is your right as a father, Don.  Especially if you’re paying support.  You are paying support, right?

A shit ton of it!  But he didn’t give a rat’s ass.  He said if I came around again, he’d make it so I never saw her again.  

We’ll see about that, Don, no worries.

*sigh*  Things is, I kind of made a worse mess. 

How so?

I told you how Tierra is neighbors with Eliza and Bob, right?

Yes?

Well, I went over there after the fight with Tierra’s husband and… sort of got into it with Bob, too.  

*facepalm*

Yeah… so now, I have two husband’s mad at me, a house full of kids and cats… 

And this is why you’re out here jogging?

Yeah.  Sim god, what am I supposed to do?

Just hang tight for a little while, Don.  Okay?  Everything will work out.

I can’t see how.
