1. The Cooke Legacy Chapter Eight: Je Veux Ton Amour A joint legacy between ilovereecee & meadowthayer.

2. Welcome back to the Cooke legacy – here we have Caroline’s life back at home! I apologize that it took me so long to get this chapter out. After this chapter, it’ll be time for Katie to play her generation so once Caroline’s youngest grandchild is a teenager, I’ll get the family back. And with that, I’ll hand the narration over to Caroline. (As a side note, I do not speak French but the title of the chapter means ‘I want your love’ in French. It’s a lyric from the song Bad Romance by Lady Gaga)

3. It was really late when I arrived home from college and I was exhausted, but the next morning I quickly invited Parker Sartor my fiance from college over and asked him to move in with me.

4. After a makeover, I saw how truly handsome my husband to be was. He even donned a blue sweater to bring out the blue of his eyes.

5. Even though Parker and I were both romance sims, we decided not to waste any time and were immediately married beneath the family orchard trees.

6. It was a beautiful wedding, and only Mom and Dad were there to see it since my siblings had to stay home with their children.

7. Immediately after the wedding, Parker and I headed upstairs to the bedroom to do what all newlyweds do – woohoo!

8. It wasn’t very long before I started feeling nauseated, I figured it was just from the wedding cake or something, but my Mom told me I might be pregnant. I was a little worried at the thought of being pregnant so soon. I was only married that morning, and with Parker and I both being romance sims I worried we wouldn’t be good parents.

9. Sure enough, when I arrived home from my first day of work, I got a belly bump – a sure sign that there’s a baby on the way. I was excited to be a mother, I just was worried that I wouldn’t be a good one.

10. Even though I was pregnant, I wanted to stay in shape so I made sure I worked out as much as I could without hurting the baby.

11. As my belly got bigger, so did my excitement to be a mother. However, I think my Mom, Cherry, was more excited about the little one then anyone else. She loved being a Grandmother to my nieces and nephews, but they rarely came over so the idea of having a grandchild in the house must have been a thrill to her.

12. In her old age, Tilly has been spending a lot of time on the counters just sitting and keeping an eye on the butler as he cleans the kitchen.

13. Finally the day came for the baby to be born. It was very painful, but I knew that it would be worth it once I held my baby in my arms.

14. Sure enough once I looked into my newborn baby boy Dominic’s bright blue eyes, I knew all of the pain and puking was worth it. He looked exactly like me, but he had his father’s blue eyes.

15. Dominic was a very quiet baby and I was almost sad to see his infant years go by. They grow up way too fast!

16. He aged into a handsome young man. He has a personality of 2/8/9/6/1, which means he’s very sloppy and grouchy. Which doesn’t fit him at all since he was such a quiet baby.

17. Parker loved our son and since Parker wasn’t working, he took the liberty of teaching Dom all of his needed toddler skills.

18. And just like I suspected, Mom was thrilled to have a grandbaby to play with all the time. She was always taking him out of his crib at his every beckon and cry to play with him or bathe him.

19. One night after work I found out I was pregnant again. Parker and I hadn’t planned this pregnancy either but I hoped he’d be open to the possibility of another child so that little Dom would have a sibling to play with.

20. Parker didn’t really want another baby, but as my belly got bigger he got more excited and he told me he hoped for a baby girl that looked just like me.

21. But before the new baby could be born, it was time for our oldest child to grow up again! I can’t believe it’s already his birthday.

22. Dominic aged into such the little cutie. He reminded me of my Great Grandpa Albert.

23. Shortly after Dominic’s birthday I was going into labor again. This birth was much more painful than the first one.

24. And as I was giving birth to my daughter Daniella, Parker went into aspiration failure.

25. After he came out of aspiration failure, he apologized a million times and then went and cuddled our beautiful baby girl. Then he told me he wanted another baby! I was shocked and wasn’t sure if I wanted another, but I decided that even though I was a romance sim, it’s a lot of fun to have a bunch of children around the house.

26. One afternoon while everyone was at work, Tilly died. I was very devastated about it and didn’t come out of my room for the entire day.

27. Parker saw how much Tilly meant to me and decided to summon the genie from one of the magic lamps we had in our magic room.

28. And he asked the genie if he would bring Tilly back to life again! I can’t believe how sweet of a husband I have.

29. Parker finally was able to find his desired career in the culinary field so that one day he could become a celebrity chef.

30. Soon, my belly began to show which meant that I was pregnant again, with my last baby. I told Parker there was no way that I could have more than three children, and he agreed.

31. Soon the time came for little Daniella to become a toddler. I couldn’t wait to see what she looked like.

32. Daniella turned out to be a clone of her older brother, but she looked more like me than her brother since she was a female. Since she’s a clone of Dominic, she has a personality of 2/8/9/6/1 – another sloppy and grouchy baby.

33. Since I was on maternity leave, I was able to help teach Daniella her toddler skills. I was extremely happy about this since I missed out a lot on Dominic’s toddler years.

34. But Parker loved playing with his baby girl. Daniellaloved it when her father would play peek-a-boo with her.

35. But she also loved playing with her toy blocks.

36. After a warm shower, my belly grew even bigger!

37. Dominic is a sweet child, I don’t see how he only has one nice point. Every time his father gets home from work he quits skilling to come and give him a great big hug. I’m very proud of my son though, I love him very much and I know his father does too.

38. While working out one afternoon, I went into labor for the final time.

39. This time I had another baby boy who was a good mix of me and Parker. We decided to name him Dylan after Parker’s great grandfather.

40. Daniella was definitely a Mommy’s girl, I didn’t mind though. She definitely has me wrapped around her little finger.

41. Soon the time came for Daniella to become a child and for Dylan to become a toddler. I can’t believe my children are growing up so fast!

42. Daniella aged into an adorable little girl, with a love for bright colors and bright pink lip gloss.

43. Dylan also aged into a little cutie pie. I think he looks like a good mix of us both. His personality is 2/8/2/5/8.

44. Just a few days later, it was time for my oldest child to become a teenager. A TEENAGER?! How is this possible?!

45. Dominic aged into a handsome young man, I’m very proud of my son. He’s a Pleasure/Knowledge sim.

46. Mom had been spending her last few days swimming, and unfortunately never became permaplat, but that didn’t stop the grim reaper from coming to take my mother away. She will definitely be missed.

47. The same night that mother passed away, was also little Dylan’s birthday. However, since he went into aspiration failure when Mom died, I had to get him happy again before bringing him to his birthday cake.

48. He grew up well even though his Grandmother did die on his birthday. I was proud of him since he was still able to be happy for his birthday.

49. With Christmas just around the corner we decided to put up our Christmas tree.

50. And I baked some yummy Santa cookies for the children.

51. And sure enough, Santa came to our house that night! Parker was at work but I was able to meet him and so did our children!

52. With all three of my kids now in school, I decided I wanted to get them in private school since sometimes public school can be a hassle for the children. The headmaster was pleased with our family and Dominic, Daniella, and Dylan all got into private school!

53. Unfortunately, Tilly has passed on again, and I decided I wanted to leave her that way, she’s already lived way longer than most cats.

54. Even though my cat died again, I was still able to reach the top of my career and become permaplat.

55. When the children aren’t at school, they are in our family room studying so that they can get scholarships and get into a good college. Even though we have enough money to pay for them to all go to college, I think it’s better that they learn how to stand up for themselves.

56. A few short days after me, my husband Parker became a celebrity chef making him permaplat also.

57. Dominic has finally maxed out all of his skills, I’m so proud of him.

58. Time seems to fly by because it’s already time for my little girl to become a teenager.

59. Daniella aged amazingly and is a Knowledge/Popularity sim.

60. She had almost maxed out her skills before her birthday so it wasn’t a surprise when she maxed them out very soon after she aged up.

61. Dominic and Daniella seem to get along very well, and are both overachievers.

62. Ever since Mom died, Dad’s been spending a lot of time outside with his punching bag. I worry about him sometimes, but I guess it’s better than him crying in his room. He and Mom were the perfect couple.

63. Soon the time comes for my youngest baby to grow up!

64. Dylan is a Romance/Pleasure sim just like me. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I’m excited to see which one of my children you choose to be the heir/ess. Stay tuned for the next chapter which will be told from the perspective of one of my three children, and will also be written by Katie again, so go vote for heir/ess at SiMania! Also, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
