The Chance Family

Poor Tara - she has no idea

After the death of my father, Big, I, Grant shall be telling our family story. It only stands to reason, me being the heir and all. Now, previously, I married Tara Anderson (now Chance, of course), just because father-dear wanted grandchildren from me. Goodness knows why. In any case, she makes an efficient mother.

Dean and Enid

She helped Dean and Enid grow up into toddlers. And then got promoted to Mad Scientist.

Tara finds a strange woman in the bathroom

I find that dating while Tara's out at work is a good time. Women are funny creatures - they'd happily cheat on you, but don't like it when you cheat on them! Hmph.

What Grant does while Tara's at work

One day Tara came home after having to pay a whole $10,000 fine. She destroy part of the city or something when she picked the green wires. Something like that. She's a knowledge sim, you'd think she'd know better.

Fair sits Grant down

Anyway, Mum decided to buy some business "Hot 'n Steamy", she called it. Then she talks to me over a meal about it:
"Grant, I know you're cheating on Tara. But you have to be careful. If she finds out, she might leave you. Worse, she might leave you without taking the kids with her and you'll have to raise them yourself."
She talks sense, my Mum. Anyway, she figured that I could help her run the business. And if I should happen to have 'friends' over out of hours... heh heh heh

Calista really loves this business

Mum's plan worked perfectly. And, as an added bonus, Hot 'n Steamy started making a profit!

Tara gets a new job as an Emergancy Medical Technitian

Yep, the out of hours arrangement works perfectly. I no longer have to be careful that Tara doesn't find out. Just as long as I come home with a little profit each day, she has no reason to be suspicious.

Profitting

What's more, the lovely ladies I've been taking there have been developing high opinions of the place too. Mum likes how easy it is for her to gain perks (seeing as how I'm doing all the work). But she passes them onto me too.

Tara got promoted to paramedic. I took a new job as a UFO investogator.

Farewell Fair

Then the day came where the Grim Reaper arrived to take Fair away. Her will benefitted 19 people, me most of all because I inherited Hot 'n Steamy. Funny how things should work out - we didn't get along while I was growing up - she practically ignored me! To think we were parted the best of friends. We buried her next to Dad.

New garage

One of my dates decided to try and cheer me up by giving me a fountain. It worked. Heh. And I used some of my inheritance to build a new garage.

I got a promotion to exorcist.

Holding Enid like a teddy bear!

The kids didn't seem to be toddlers for very long. Enid grew up first.

Dean grows up normally

And then Dean. Even though Dean's the oldest. Figure that out.

Tara wants her kids to have the best possible education

Tara got a couple of promotions, and ended up an intern. And even though she was exhausted she insisted on having the headmaster over. Next thing I know, Dean and Enid are in private school.

From Exorsist to Cult Leader

Anyway, so I was tending to this young girl. She had this particularily bad evil spirit in her, so I called for back up. Seriously, evil spirits can marr your woohoo life! Anyways, the boss decided to reward me for my caution with $30,000! Oh yeah!

What's more, the same day I was promoted to Cult Leader. And with all the women I have following me around, why shouldn't I be?
