Part One – Marriages, Neptune & a Break up.
Poppy decided to invite Honey over for a visit; really he had other things on his mind as per usual. Honey naturally couldn't wait to hear from him and in no time wasted she was at the door ringing the bell. Poppy the sly old fox didn't waste time and married her off. He wasn't a real romantic and Honey was more than happy to have a private wedding, in the rain and right in front of the front door. They were now married; Honey has now joined the Mystique family.
Poppy didn't waste time, yet again… he wanted to see if he still has the young man in him and in an instance not only did he feel 20 year younger but he was quiet smug to have such a young bomb shell next time him as his wife, many people in the neighborhood want and adore honey. But she was all Poppy's now. He is a happy man. He not only had a bomb shell in his life but a celebrity who has brought him fame in the neighborhood, all of a sudden everyone knew about Poppy, his craftsmanship with the horses. Everyone wants a piece of Poppy.
It didn't take long for Honey to realise something was wrong, she felt nauseous. Yes Poppy was not only her husband but she is now with child.
********************************************************************************************
Meanwhile events on the other side of the house had also been taking a turn of events. Maxx had discovered her worst nightmare; she was still in high school and... well.... she too is with child. What she really wanted was to talk to Nicholas. She still was single, he is just a crush, someone she cares about but he never makes her feel as special as she thought one should feel. What is she going to do?
Maxx invited Nicholas over, she had some news to tell him, but didn't know how, she knew he would see and she did get worried about it. What was she going to do? Can she tell Poppy? Honey she didn't know very well and kept her distance. She really felt alone.
Nicholas upon arrival noticed her baby bump immediately, She couldn't help but spill the beans as Nicholas needed to know that he was going to be a dad. Maxx was worried that he would turn on her but to her surprise Nicholas was over the moon. He already was making plans for the future, but he wasn't thinking through. What about college? What about a life together and as there really was no relationship, was he going to leave her to have this child on her own? She was scared.
Maxx thought about things, under pressure and unsure of what to do, being the impulsive girl she always is….., she just did what she thought would be the right thing to do.
She decided to pop the question (guess she gets this from her grandfather Poppy), she proposed to Nicholas whom accepted and in an instance they were married. But something is wrong, something didn't feel right. None the less she wasn't having this child on her own, however that niggling feeling when something just doesn’t seem right, was still lingering.
Honey's agent called her and said she needed to work out to keep her looks for her adoring fans, she wasn't the best on the gym equipment and made a total fool of herself at the local gym. But she knew he was right she needed to keep fit and try to hide the baby bump for as long as she could.
Meanwhile Poppy as per usual was outside working the young horses, training them up so he could sell them to make more money for his growing family. He sold Adonis for $10,460 and Annabelle for $6,044.
One thing no one really knew about Honey was that she had a gift, she actually is a lovely person and behind her fame and gorgeous looks she had the gift of the gab to talk to animals. Neptune was not a horse that would come to anyone, even Poppy struggled to ride him some times, but Neptune just seems to have taken liking to Honey. She was the only other person apart from Maxx who he would take interest into.
Time was flying past and it was birth time for Maxx, she went to the hospital… looking like this {it was a stressful moment for me, as my sim was invisible and she was my main character…. I thought yet again another glitch – thankfully I was wrong – phew}
Maxx Gave birth to a baby girl called Holly. {sorry forgot to take photos of the baby} upon returning home and putting holly in the crib, Maxx set out to sit outside with the horses to do her homework.
Nicholas on the other hand was not use to a farm life and struggled to understand the responsibilities and duties, but he was willing to try.
Tonight was the first night there was no rain, everyone was enjoying themselves outside, everyone’s moods were high and happy, a beautiful dry spring evening. However Neptune had other ideas, he did not like Nicholas, every time anyone turned around Neptune was doing something mean to Nicholas.
Neptune went in for a kick and a bite several times. What did Neptune know about Nicholas, that no one else was picking up on? What was wrong with him? Why was he being such a hostile horse when it was out of his character to do so? For such a shy docile horse he was acting up. He really didn’t like Nicholas and he wasn't scared to show it.
Maxx went to see what was wrong with Neptune, as it is out of his character, in that instance Nicholas attacked her, he started to abuse her and argue. He was mean and spiteful in his words and really was hurting Maxx.
And then he did it, he called off their relationship, he was hurtful and broke Maxx, he didn’t want to be her husband he wanted nothing to do with her or farm life anymore, he had enough, he missed his family and wanted to go home.
The insults continued, and got worse and worse, Maxx begged but Nicholas just turned nastier with every attempt. Neptune stood and watched the whole time.
In all the fighting and insult exchanging, Neptune started to feel the stress and tried with all his might to stop them by whinnying, but it was getting worse, Nicholas was an angry teenager and he hated living here. He was use to the comforts of his own home and just didn’t want to be a part of this life anymore.
Honey came to the rescue and turned Neptune away, to calm him down but Nicholas then attacked Maxx and they were fighting, he took to beating her up, not only break her heart but now she had to try to fight him off.
What started off as a quiet night has turned into a hectic heart breaker.
Honey jumped on board when she had enough, she scold Nicholas, but Nicholas kept blaming it on Neptune, he was jealous of a horse. Honey didn't care she sent him to have time out, Maxx had just had his daughter and he was making all this scenery for what reasons? If he didn't want to be with her then he should have not committed himself.
Either way Honey sent him in the corner for time out and didn't want to hear a peep out of him for the night.
Honey didn’t know how to cheer Maxx up, she felt so sorry for her and how events had turned out. What was she going to do to help make Maxx feel better? She wasn’t a mother yet and knew nothing about raising children especially teens. She just knew she felt so sorry for Maxx and wanted to reach out to her.
She tried everything telling her jokes but nothing was working, so she offered to teach her to drive, she had her truck and wanted Maxx to get her mind of all this pain. Honey knew this was only temporary but it would be something she could offer in such a horrible time, this also gave the girls some bonding time, even at the worst time.
Maxx decided to take her up on her offer and while she was going for a drive, Nicholas remained in the time out corner. He knew he was in trouble once Honey got back. But once they got back Nicholas was gone, he moved back home with his family, up and left without a note or goodbye.
Neptune was still very depressed and stressed after witnessing the whole event, Poppy spent time while Maxx was still at school talking to him to try to calm him down, and nothing was working. Neptune still was a very unhappy horse.
