David left them a hefty sum in his will. After thinking it over, Maria decided to use part of it to move into a larger house, one with three bedrooms so the twins can each have their own space as they get older. Maria shared a room with her own twin brother for years, so she understands the appeal of having your own room, even if it's small.

I finally made some art for my fic lmao
Lieutenant Colonel Maria Suarez 💙 like Dr. Yin, she was a smart cookie and also fast tracked through college by doing dual enrollment and piloting lessons in High School so she could get to piloting a samson ASAP. She came from a family of pilots and she wasn’t about to let the legacy die.
She met Big Q when she was deployed in Nigeria. Because she had college courses under her belt and was doing them while on her tour, she also got promotions quicker. And because of a crazy stunt she pulled while on a mission, Big Q told her she could call him by his first name after living to tell the tale of something that insane (which is very unusual in the military, even if they were only like…2 ranks apart). I wonder what happened 🤔
He’s also the only person left alive who knows how Maria got her call sign “Fireball.” When it comes to fighter jet pilots (and I would assume Samson pilots by the time their deployment in Nigeria takes places) are given their call signs (nicknames) by their squad mates based on something stupid they did as a rookie (I’m not kidding, look it up).
She was also friends with Grace. And it was through Grace that Maria met Dr. Yin. They really hit it off when Maria showed her drawings of Pandora’s wildlife to Yin (drawing was a hobby of hers btw).
She always had a thing for Dr. Yin, but alas, she was always too afraid to do anything about it for a few reasons: 1) she felt like she was taking advantage of a position of power even though Dr. Yin was a civilian and not a military subordinate, 2) she was worried about the mind gap even though Dr. Yin was far from naïve, 3) she just felt she was too…old. Which Dr. Yin had no issues with.
Overall, Maria was just overthinking it all along 😢 (and funny enough, this was the one thing Grace and Miles were able to agree on).
GUYS I'M PLAYING ANOTHER HOUSEHOLD AND I JUST WATCHED CLAIRE AND MARIA GET AUTONOMOUSLY ENGAGED????!?????!!!!!!!? When I added LazyDuchess's autonomous engagement mod to my game, I wasn't expecting this of all things.
excUSE ME????
I'm pretty sure one of you is definitely straight and the other is aromantic?? Are they going to be committed platonic life partners now????
Sure! Okay!
Miles escaped outside from the party halfway through, as he does, and took a break on his telescope.
Paper Girl #1: Your folding technique is awful.
Paper Girl #2: Yeah, well, your paper is from yesterday, so who's the real winner here? That's right, me.
both of you leave.
Next up is Maria's household, where she and the twins are in media res eating breakfast.
Last round, the twins aged into children; Maria broke up with her boyfriend, Ryan; and the twins' father, David, passed away.
Also, Stella got a womrat called Blorbo. Blorbo may or may not look different throughout the round, because we had Technical Difficulties.
Diego actually aged into this 'fit. Very tempted to keep it.
The kids are making friends!
ok, you just aged up, take it down a notch. Family sims, sheesh.
And that's the end of the round! Feels like the twins grew up soooo fast.
