"A baby of our own?" Tyler asked, honestly not so sure what to think.
"Don't you want kids someday though?" She asked, crossing her legs and looking at him. "Why not make someday even sooner?" She smiled slightly. "We're good together, and we're not getting into any arguments." She pointed out, and couldn't help but recall how with Damon, their relationship almost fell apart as soon as the twins were born. Her and Damon didn't work all too well together, yet her and Tyler are actually getting along more with each other and the kids too.
"Are you sure that it's not too soon though?" He asked, "We've only just started dating." He sighed slightly. "It's not like I don't want kids, I do want them, I just think we should wait a while. Why rush things?" He spoke almost cautiously, worried an argument would break out.
"Why wait though?" She countered. "The only thing that's going to be different if we wait is that the kids will be older and it'll be colder outside." She shrugged simply, partially holding back the real reason why she didn't want to wait all too much longer.
"A lot of other things could be different too, Lyss." He sighed, realizing he was getting off topic. "I still think we should wait."
Alyssa sighed, and her hand went over his. Her eyes only stayed on where her hand was though. "I just don't want to wait too long though. I want all of my kids to be at least kind of similar ages." She murmured.
It wasn't like she didn't love Rosie and Connor, but it got a little lonely sometimes being so much younger than them. She felt like an only child sometimes because of it. The two of them grew up together, and were already really close. She knew it was never the case, but she sometimes felt as if she was intruding. She swore to herself that she didn't want her children's ages as far spread as her's and Rosie's and Connor's. It didn't seem like it now, but Rosie had already moved out before Alyssa was even a teenager, and on Connor's last day of high school, it was her first.
He couldn't help but feel awful when he noticed she was rather upset. He didn't mean to hurt her feelings. He just didn't want what they had to end so soon. "I'm sorry Lyss." He murmured, feeling as if he needed to apologize.
She shook her head slightly. "It's fine, I get it." She sighed lightly. It was a rather bizarre thing to think of now she was actually thinking about it. Her and Tyler hadn't been dating all too long, and it honestly didn't seem like the smart thing to do. Then again, leaving it until later didn't exactly seem like the smart thing to do either.
"But, if we do wait, it could take longer than we originally thought to have a baby, and we'd have to wait even longer." She shook her head, sighing and resting her head in her hand. "I don't want to be about the same age my parents were when they had me." She made that certain.
He stayed quiet for a little while, before asking. "Is that why you're insistent on having a baby so soon?" And she nodded softly in reply. She wanted another child, but didn't want to wait until she was older. Losing her parents before she had even graduated high school was really rough on her.
She tried not to dawn on the thought all too often, but sometimes the thoughts just hit her. She'd remember when she graduated high school, and only her brother and sister were there. She'd remember how painfully empty the house felt. She never wanted her house to feel so empty and loveless like that ever again which was also part of the reason why she wanted such a big family.
She managed to keep all of that back again, knowing that the last thing her parents would want to see was her upset.
"So, if we do have a baby soon, what about it's room? I doubt any of the kids would be all too happy about sharing." He pointed out, biting his lower lip slightly.
She smiled slightly, "That's simple. There's beams outside on the porch which would support a room being above it. I think my dad was at some point planning on an extension of either my old room, or Rosie's old room but he never got around to it, so there is room for another room." She shrugged.
"So, you're saying that there was space for another room?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at her. "Because when you said I could stay here, I recall you saying that there wasn't."
"What can I say? I hate a half empty bed. It's called a double for a reason, right?" She smiled innocently, moving over to him.
He wrapped his arm around her when she moved closer. "It is called a double for a reason, liar." He nicknamed her teasingly.
She laughed, "It's only a little white lie, besides, it got you away from Spirit." She smiled at him.
He sighed, and shook his head slightly. "Don't remind me." He murmured, more out of regret. He and Spirit... Well, it was alright between the two of them before she got insanely jealous. He could kind of understand where her jealous came from though, based on right now his arm was around the woman his ex girlfriend was so jealous of.
She turned slightly, her hands going through his hair. "I'll make sure you don't remember her." She grinned, and kissed him softly.
He moved his hands to her upper back, and broke away from the kiss for a little while. "At the risk of ruining the mood, when do you want to start trying for a baby?" He asked.
Alyssa simply smirked, and kissed him again, which answered his question.
She gently pulled him down on top of her, not breaking the kiss. It was now less about talking about it, and actually doing it. She let his hands roam while her heel teased with the top of his trousers before she murmured. "I think we should take it up to the bedroom."

It wasn't like he didn't want his own family at some point or another, he did really want that and being around Alyssa's children honestly made him want that more, but he was unsure about the timing of it all. "Are you sure it's a good idea?" He asked, while shifting the way he was sat. The last thing he wanted to do was ruin his relationship with Alyssa.
"Don't you want kids someday though?" She asked, crossing her legs and looking at him. "Why not make someday even sooner?" She smiled slightly. "We're good together, and we're not getting into any arguments." She pointed out, and couldn't help but recall how with Damon, their relationship almost fell apart as soon as the twins were born.

______________________________
AN: Ick! I hate writing ever close to that kind of stuff. *Shudders* not good at it, nor do I like writing it. It's just always an awkwardness sundae with an extra helping of "oh dear, why?" on top with some "Just stop" sprinkles and a cringe cherry on top.
Aaaand now I want ice cream.
This is a lot shorter than most of my regular chapters, but this is purely just them talking about babies, then... Yeah. (Carrie's very awkward when it comes to that.)
Alyssa's thoughts were a little more darker and depressing in this chapter. Whether my mood of late reflected on my writing or whether or not I just got carried away on a brooding cycle... *shrugs* I'm fine with it though.
Maya also sleeps adorably <3
Just look at the cute little-big doggie though! Squee! I don't like being near big dogs in real life, but in the game where my laptop screen protects me from being bit (also the fact that she's a bundle of pixels) they're so cute!
Good for Alyssa for being honest with Tyler! He can't know if she doesn't tell him. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy brother and I are barely over a year apart and I reeeaaally wish there were lots more time between us. Still, I can get not wanting to have an only child when there are so many other kids in the house who are closer in age.
Awww! Cute puppy!
Honesty is the best policy, isn't it?
DeleteMe and my brother are just over three years apart so it works out alright for us. Alyssa just seems like the type of person that would want all of her kids to be of similar ages.
Maya's so cute, isn't she? None of the other dogs used to sleep that way, she's just so adorable <3
"It's called a double for a reason" made me laugh. When Alyssa knows what she wants, she really knows doesn't she?
ReplyDeleteTyler wasn't really hard to persuade having another kid though. But now I almost feel sorry for Spirit, since she was right to begin with. Almost, because it's a bit funny, since she drove Tyler to Alyssa because she was jealous of them.
If it helps I think you did a god job writing "that sort of stuff". It seemed pretty realistic, and you get the impression that the two of them know eacother very well. And Tyler apologizing even if he didn't do anyhting wrong was spot on :)
Maya is so cute, even if I have to admit I'm a bit scared of big dogs irl, especially that type....
Lyssie gets what Lyssie wants ;) And to be fair though, she did have some logic behind her reasoning on it being a double bed.
DeleteI don't really feel sorry for her to be honest. She moved on to a random townie about 12 sim hours afterwards and I think she's now gotten married to him so she's doing fine.
It is a little ironic how her jealousy of them drove them to each other.
Thank you. It can be kinda difficult for me to write that kind of stuff without ever actually having gone through any of it.
Tyler seems like the guy to know that he should just apologize, even if he doesn't fully know what he's done.
I'm a little unkeen on big dogs too, especially when they try and jump up. I like horses though, but horses in game are rather glitchy.
Maya's a cutie though <3
I understand where Alyssa's coming from. It's hard to be close to siblings who are far apart from you in age. And it makes sense that Alyssa would think that way, based on when her parents died. It did seem like she pushed Tyler into it, though. I hope he'll be ready when the baby comes!
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult, especially in Alyssa's case. Rosie and Connor were rather close, so it felt as if she was an only child.
DeleteEven though it happened quite a long time ago, it still does affect her. As it would affect anyone.
She did seem to push Tyler into it slightly, but he wouldn't have agreed if he was that strongly against it.
Alyssa is kind of sneaky, but it does get her what she wants :D Looking forward to another cute baby, yay!
ReplyDeleteShe is; she likes getting what she wants xD
DeleteYay for another baby! ^-^
