Store Worlds Legacy: Generation 2 Part 2 – Barnacle Bay
I don’t know why I have an agent, but she keeps calling me saying I need to be a level 3 celebrity. I’m just a fisherman who somehow reached celebrity level 1, and I don’t like the attention I am getting now. I can’t imagine how annoying the paparazzi would be if I were more popular.
Paulie finished his latest drama, Rock, Paper, Scissors and went downstairs to paint. He told me it helps him formulate ideas for his next novel.
After swimming with Mom for a while, Nikita decided to try to finish the pregnancy book before she gives birth to our daughter. We are still deciding on a name for her.
It was time for my brothers to graduate. I took a picture of them tossing their diplomas. Our generation has finished high school and moved on with our lives. I’m married with a child on the way.
Paulie is writing best-sellers. He was voted most artistic.
Lorenzo receives a lot of Simoleons for his paintings. He was voted most likely to be a rock star.
When we arrived at home, Nikita went into labor. We headed to the hospital. She insisted on taking her car because it was faster, and of course, she would not let me drive.
Ellie Lord is a Leo, a genius, and a loner. She likes vegetarian dim sum, Pop music, and the color lilac.
Nikita is going to be a great mother. She loves Ellie so much.
Nikita played with Ellie before putting her in the crib.
Mom has been helping with Ellie. She enjoys snuggling with her.
Nikita: Mom, do you mind sitting with Ellie while Marcus and I go over to my parents’ house for dinner?
Vicki: You don’t even have to ask. Ellie and I will be fine. Don’t worry.
Nikita: Thanks!
Mom finished feeding Ellie a bottle and prepared to snuggle her.
Nikita and I left to visit Aiden and Hannah. It would be the first time we had been there since Ellie was born. Nikita brought her cell phone, already full of pictures of little Ellie.
As soon as we got in the door, Nikita went to her mother and started to chat. They put their heads together and looked at Nikita’s phone, Hannah making cooing noises at the pictures of our daughter.
Aiden and I sat down to eat some salad. Hannah said she had already eaten, and Nikita was still full from our lunch at Hogan’s Deep Sea Diner.
I looked over, and Nikita was hugging her mother.
I told Aiden about my promotion. He patted me on the shoulder and said he was very proud of me and all I had accomplished as an anger. I remembered that I had an award to collect at City Hall. I’ll have to do that this week.
When we got ready to return home, Aiden pulled me into a hug.
Aiden: I’m so glad to have you for a son-in-law. I love my daughters dearly, but it’s nice to finally have another man in the family.
Marcus: Thank you, Aiden.
Aiden: Call me Dad.
Marcus: That means a lot to me, Dad. We’ll have to have you over to the house to meet you granddaughter.
Aiden: Hannah and I can’t wait to see her.
Nikita: We’ll see you soon. I love you both.
When we got home, we found Mom rocking with Ellie. Mom hadn’t looked this happy in a long time.
I decided to do some night fishing to catch lobsters. At midnight, I would have a chance to catch the elusive death fish. I managed to catch five before they disappeared shortly after 1:00 am.
I went directly to Aleister’s to sell my catch while they were still fresh.
Paulie was up late, having a midnight snack of cereal. He admitted he hadn’t been to bed yet.
He had been up most of the night finishing a brilliant painting. The next day, he was able to sell it for §1,192.
After eating some waffles, I headed out to the mailbox to collect the mail. I couldn’t believe it! There was some kind of ship pulling Mom into it by a beam of light!
When Mom didn’t come back right away, I was worried about her, but I was so bone-weary I couldn’t stay awake to look for her. I crawled into bed just as Nikita got up.
Marcus: I hope I didn’t wake you.
Nikita: No, I needed to use the bathroom, and Ellie is due for a bottle soon.
Marcus: I’m worried about Mom. I think she was abducted by aliens.
Nikita: Oh, no! I hope she is all right.
Marcus: She isn’t back yet. I’m worried about her, but I need sleep.
I rolled over and fell into a deep sleep.
When I got up, Nikita told me that Mom had returned and she looked all right. Then she said that we lost two more fish, one from each aquarium. We were down to six fish and the piranha, so she combined them into one aquarium and sold the other tank.
It was so dark in the house that I decided to lighten all of the walls. It is much brighter now. I also swapped the dining room table and the juice bar so we could have more seating at the table.
Mom bought Ellie a swing. They both seem to like it.
It was Ellie’s birthday! We invited all of the family to the party. Mom brought Ellie to the birthday cake.
L-R: Ellie Lord, Nikita Lord, Vicki Lord, Aiden and Hannah Jones (Nikita’s parents), Don Lothario, Lorenzo Lothario, Eugene Dean, Anne Dean.
More pictures of the guests:
L-R: Lorenzo, Audrie Dean (Nikita’s sister), Constance Shelley, Eugene Dean (Audrie’s husband), Marcus Lord.
L-R: Anne Dean (wife of George Dean), Vicki Lord, Ellie Lord, Paulie Lothario. George Dean was the first to the party, but he must have left already.
Mom helped Ellie blow out her candles.
Ellie is a toddler now.
Ellie has her mother’s black hair and blue eyes.
Hannah picked up Ellie and tossed her in the air. I got a really special picture of Ellie with her grandmother.
Ellie is so cute. I picked her up and tickled her. I love the sound of her laughter. I got quite the tan from fishing all the time.
Ellie went to play the xylophone and Nikita sat down to play with her.
Mom was dancing the Smustle. I couldn’t resist getting a picture.
Nikita fed Ellie in the high chair. She made less of a mess this time.
When Ellie was finished eating, Mom took her out of the high chair to teach her to walk. She’s getting the hang of it.
Mom praised her for her efforts.
Mom went to get some breakfast, so Nikita took over teaching Ellie to walk.
Once Ellie knew how to walk, Nikita started teaching her to talk. Her first word was flowers.
