Misunderstood (A Jared Frio story...Sims 3)

Part 10 will be up tomorrow, it was a difficult one to write and took longer than expected. :)

@Charlottesmom Found your story. Look forward to the update. Gotcha bookmarked. :)

Sooooooo pi*ss*ed right now I had 3/4ths of this update (Part 10) done and when I went beck to my screenshots the whole thing vanished! NOT happy right now...tears of frustration were shed... :angry:

Hopefully I can remember almost everything I typed.

Misunderstood Part 10:

As soon as Bessie and Xander got up to their vacation home Bessie called Joe and asked if he would like to come up for awhile and talk. He agreed that would be a good idea.

Joe asked Bessie what Buster had said...

"Well, Buster apologized for not telling me about his vasectomy, he said he only hid the truth because he thought he would lose me if he told me he could never father any children we may want in the future, he also said that he knew Xander was your son."

Joe could see that Bessie was rather upset about the whole thing and asked if she wanted to talk about it later. Bessie said she was fine they could talk now.

Joe was an emotional wreck for some reason, he wished he could be with Bessie for the rest of his life but didn't even dare to think she would ever leave Buster.

He had to ask even though his own father always told him "Joe, you should never ask a question you already know the answer to..." Joe knew the answer would be that Bessie wanted to stay with Buster, she had stated that very fact a few times in their relationship, it always put yet another crack in Joe's heart.

He gathered his courage and asked...

"Bessie, Do you ever think you could leave Buster and marry me? I've loved you for years and I will always love you, I want us to be together..."

http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-3166_zpsgwyayhmn.jpg

Bessie smiled, those words warmed her heart but she and Buster had unfinished business and Bessie told Joe she had to talk to Buster before anything could be decided for the future.

Joe looked like he could start crying any minute so Bessie comforted him, she had a very good idea where things would end up but really needed to talk to Buster.

Neither was sure who started what but soon they were kissing, it had been so long and felt so good neither wanted to let go...

Joe couldn't get enough but willed himself to stop, he felt in his heart that soon Bessie would dump him yet again.

Later that afternoon Xander was begging to go to the park so Joe and Bessie took him, all he had been doing at the vacation home was sitting in front of the computer playing "Shooty" games as Bessie dubbed them. Xander went over to the swings and Bessie and Joe were in their own world chatting about whatever struck them.

They were so into their own bubble that neither saw Buster approaching...he didn't appear a happy camper.

http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-3183_zps9n2eoiwm.jpg

He cleared his throat a few times...

http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-3189_zpsy9qr2e55.jpg

Finally Joe noticed him, Buster jumped on him about Xander, yelling that he should stay away from his son...

http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-3191_zpsvzicm5mj.jpg

Joe countered that Xander was in fact HIS son!

http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-3190_zpszmpa9j0q.jpg

Bessie joined in telling Buster that nobody was going to take Xander away from him unless he kept acting like a crazy person.

"This is not the place for this discussion Buster!"

http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-3193_zpswy9hmojq.jpg

"But Bessie..........." Buster yelled...

"We will discuss this at home!" Bessie said lowering her voice..

http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-3194_zpsfwlpammk.jpg

Xander heard all the yelling and ran over (he really did ;) !) , the adults immediately shut up for the sake of the child. There would need to be a long talk with Xander tonight.

*********************************

***I'm sure most of you are wondering what all this has to do with why Jared is the way Jared is in the base game....there is a method to my madness and it is all interconnected, I'm just taking a wavy route to the ending. The direct route is never much fun anyways.... :smiley: :wink:

@Charlottesmom Great update. I feel for Xander the most, caught up in the middle of all the adult angst. I'm glad they hushed and didn't talk anymore in front of him.

I knew a meeting would lead to kissing and cuddling! They are so obviously in love with each other :(
I can see Buster's POV - he did raise Xander as his own after all :(
I hope Xander understands - he is so young!
I don't mind the wavy route - I am used to it in your stories and the diversions are as much fun as the main story line :)

Misunderstood Part 11:

Bessie was about to leave the park with Xander, she really needed to have a talk with the poor child about his fathers, she told Buster she would talk to him later, they needed to get some things straitened out.

*******

Back at the vacation house Bessie and Xander could have a nice long talk about how he came to be and Bessie would answer any questions the child had.

Xander started first, he was a very curious child...

"So are you my real mom?"

http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-3378_zpsrybbxwmq.jpg

Bessie was taken aback, and laughed a bit, "Yes, Xander I am your real mom" she said with a smile, it was a good ice breaker on Xander's part.

http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-3380_zpsazeto1lj.jpg

"Your real father is Joe...incase you were wondering..."

http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-3375_zps7fnh71jn.jpg

"Can I meet him mom?" Xander asked hopefully

"You know him Xander, He is Paulo's father" (Bessie doesn't know that Nick is Paulo's real father)

"So Mr. Frio is my dad too?" Xander asked getting excited

"Yes, but Buster will always be your dad too, you can have two dads now..." Bessie stated trying to put a cheerful spin on the whole situation.

http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-3373_zpsocuquv2n.jpg

"And another brother...!" Xander excitedly questioned.

"Actually you get three new half brothers, Joe has three sons, Connor, Jared and Paulo"

http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-3376_zpsgoivakwt.jpg

"When can I meet Connor and Jared mom?"

"How about we invite them over tonight, would that be okay with you?" Bessie really wanted Xander to meet his half brothers and get to know them, Bessie wanted to meet then too as she had really only seen pictures.

http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-3391_zpscwcsique.jpg

Bessie called Joe and invited him and the kids over to meet Xander, Joe was excited, he thought it was a great idea.

As the time ticked on Xander started to get a bit nervous...

http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-3402_zps8jk5y2ok.jpg

That night Xander met his new brothers, they all appeared to get along....so far....

Meeting Connor....

Xander even gave Joe a hug, from the few minutes he spent with his real father he seemed to like him...

http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-3429_zpswux5qerf.jpg

Things seemed to be going well for the half brothers...

:smiley:

@Charlottesmom Awesome update. I'm glad that part of it is out in the open and they are meeting. Xander was cute asking if Bessie was his real mom.

@Charlottesmom I just read your update. :) and I'm lovin it ...... (I just sounded like a Micky D's commercial LOL)
Just like @bekkasan I'm glad to see everything is out in the open and for the moment everyone seems to be getting along.
Can't wait to see what happens next. :)

@Charlottesmom It's good that Xander took the news so well and adorable him asking if Bessie was his mother! :)
Great pics of the kids meeting and the pic of Bessie looking at Xander and Joe hugging was perfect :)
Now I want to know what she wants to talk to Buster about!
