it's your day: December birthdays

first, some quickie notes: It appears that this is Danielle's blog debut? I don't know how that's possible, since I've been blogging about her on Tumblr for ages, lol! 

In other dimensions (TS3), Danielle was not conceived until April was 25, which made a lot more sense for April's story, considering the time it would have taken her to deal with some personal issues and feel ready to have a baby. But in TS4, Danielle was already in my game as a sim from the 2091 timeline, and has been paused as a baby FOREVER, and I didn’t want to keep her a baby any longer. 

So if it feels sudden to think that April and Beau had her so soon after college, then that’s why. We’ll just imagine that everything is fine and nobody is traumatized by it.

December 2086.

*briefly NSFW


This December, after a dreadfully long babyhood, little Dani Jackson is finally working on her wobbly first steps.

the wisest decision

December 14, 2086. Aliyah Sylvester is 26. Angelo Shaw is 24.


Aliyah had options, she was told. She had to admit that she sometimes wondered whether not keeping this baby would have been the wisest decision. It was unplanned, she was unprepared, and her relationship with the father? Well, she hadn't heard a peep from Angelo in the five weeks since she dropped the news.

She had more reasons not to have this baby than to have it, and yet, here she was having a fourteen week dating scan instead of an abortion. Maybe it would all make sense later.

Everything looked healthy, her doctor said. Her baby girl would be due June 2nd. She could keep working for as long as she felt comfortable. Although, as a restaurant manager, on her feet, walking, and carrying things for hours in a night, she should expect that the work would become very exhausting to her as the pregnancy grew.
