Nina went back to work that night, then came home and immediately got back to skilling. She's determined to be self sufficient and become a celebrity chef, so she's working on her cooking skill. Luca will be known as the son of a famous chef!

I wanted to flesh this out so much more, but the game is still crashing on occasion when moving between lots. It's not all the time, and I can't find the one specific thing causing the issue so for now I'm just happy to have completed a round. Next time, Nina will be focusing on getting the cuisine hobby maxed out as well as upping her career.

Don: "Do you want me to do the right thing?" Nina: "What do you mean?" Don: "I can provide for you both. Move in with me, we'll get married and give Luca the life he deserves" Nina: "Don - listen. We're not good together. I think we're good as friends, even lovers, but not partners. Do you understand?"

Don: "I do love you, Nina" Nina: "I love you too, Don. We're good as we are, why fix what isn't broken?"

[resurrectonomitron]

Nina still wanted to give Don an opportunity to do the right thing, so she invites him over.

Don: "He's beautiful Nina... and I will admit he does look a lot like me" Nina: "Well I don't want to say I told you so. Do you want lunch?"

Luca is a beautiful mix of both Nina and Don. He's got Nina's surname, since Don seems to have no interest in being a parent.

The next morning Nina went into labour whilst making breakfast. It was painful, but fortunately very quick.

It's a boy! His name is Luca Caliente.

Nina: "Dina! How's life at the bay? Wow really?! The SCIA are treating you well. Are you safe? How's Mia? Oh... yeah I'm fine. Nothing new to report. Definitely no big news"

[resurrectonomitron]

It was a bad day for sure, but Nina put it all aside to get her original job back at work. She also decided to not attend work again until after the baby was born, since she couldn't really be a shift manager in her pajamas! (Okay I'm a team leader and when I work from home I'm in pajamas, so I don't judge)

[resurrectonomitron]

Don: "I'm glad you called! I wouldn't have thought a public park was your style but hey I'm easy if you are!" Nina: "That's not why I called Don. There's no easy way to say this, I'm pregnant. And you're the father"

Don: "..." Nina: "Say something" Don: "How do you know it's mine?"

Nina: "I don't want anything from you, I just thought you should know that's all. Believe me, or don't" Don: "Neens..." Nina: "Don't"

[resurrectonomitron]

After getting home though Nina had a stark reminder of why she adventured out on her own in the first place.

Nina: "I need to make a phone call"

[resurrectonomitron]

That night, Nina fell foul of a chance card and got a demotion! Not exactly a great start to a new life.

[resurrectonomitron]

Being a twin, Nina had never really been alone. She was struggling to find some routine in her new life. Her main day to day activities were based around upskilling to get ahead in her culinary career.

Nina: "I really think I should be playing this with another person. Or at least a chicken!"

[resurrectonomitron]

One thing Nina did after setting up was adopt a bunny! His name is Patches. He's the perfect size for apartment living, and Nina was immediately in love.

[resurrectonomitron]

Nina couldn't help but think of her sister as she signed her name on the lease. She wanted to stay in the house, but it was just too expensive to maintain on her own (and it glitched into oblivion) so an apartment in the shipping district of the town was the next best thing.

It wasn't much, and it was definitely not known for it's scenic views, but it was a place she could call home.

Also quick side note, my game is still regularly crashing. I save every few minutes just in case so please bear with me. I am determined not to give up, but it will be harder to post these days.

[resurrectonomitron]

Dina: "Goodbye Pleasantview, thank you for all of the memories"

Thank you Dina Caliente, sorry you became extremely glitched and/or corrupted. Maybe one day I'll find a way to cameo you back into the 'hood but as of now enjoy living in the bin. My search history is chaotic trying to find a fix but I honestly think because they were the first family that something just happened in the background.

Buuuuuuut Nina is still kicking... I wonder where she'll end up (I will continue to post once I have confirmed I can complete a full round without crashing)

[resurrectonomitron]

Dina: "Wait, you're moving out?" Nina: "I just think it's a good time for me to get out there" Dina: "Well I was going to tell you - I've decided to move away myself!"

Nina: "Wait, away?" Dina: "I'm with the SCIA, a position has come up in a place called Barnacle Bay. Morty left some money for Mia to go to a private school so I just think now will be the right time" Nina: "Oh... wow... I'm really happy for you Dina"

Dina: "I know we've had our differences, but I think this will be the best thing for all of us. I'm really excited for the opportunity" Nina: "What about Mia? She was so excited to spend time with Mortimer's kids" Dina: "We'll make it work"

[resurrectonomitron]

Upstairs in the bathroom, Nina is realising that her actions have consequences...

Nina: "Oh Neens, what have you gotten yourself into this time"

[resurrectonomitron]

Very quick stop to the Caliente house as we all know it. As we all know TS2 is held together with paperclips and duct tape, after much troubleshooting and even without mods the only household I am having trouble with is this one. So I have no choice but to retire Dina and Mia; Nina is fine (for now) but I'll write it out nicely.

Dina: "How are you feeling sweetheart, after your dad's funeral?" Mia: "I'm okay, it's just nice knowing I have a brother and sister to play with!"
