I probably should have but I just ignored him. I'll probably kick him out for story anyways. Actually, I forgot to turn the community lot into a public lot and a huge family moved into the library, so I had to evict them and change the lot...Which worked out since I didn't realize until they were rescued and libraries require computers, so they're allowed to have them now!

Though they weren't sure of the exact date, Alice, Neeshem, and Pranav had celebrated New Years. Alice had made a resolution to lose weight. She's not sure how she put it on, what with a diet of fish and salads, but put it on she did. Pranav decided to make his resolution to advance in his aspiration. As an Angling Ace he managed that in just a few days!

Alice is still working away. She'd decided that since they have all the necessities for survival, she wants to make things more comfortable. So she's going to upgrade their home!

She's quite proud of the house. She's already started working on Neeshem's as well, after talking about what he wants and making a few modifications so that she can do it. Neeshem and Pranav did almost all the work on the house because...

Alice is pregnant! Looks like all that talk about a baby happening sooner or later brought on a baby! Both parents are excited but worried too. After all, the closest thing they have to a doctor on the island is the scout training Neeshem and Alice had-and that was just basic first aid!

They do know she shouldn't do heavy lifting, so she sticks to gardening and some easy material work on her workbench. Neeshem and Pranav have to do all the heavy lifting, and building Neeshem's house is a dangerous task in itself-it's pretty big.

Alice and Pranav are having dinner on the porch one evening when Alex runs up out of the darkness! After lots of talking over each other and hugging, Alex finally explains why she disappeared (after lots of hugging and congratulating on the baby). She'd decided to just swim out into the ocean to try and find someone to save them! She figured since she was a vampire she had the best chance of surviving. She was actually only out in the ocean for a bit over a day before being found, but it turns out the reason they were never rescued is because the island chain they're on is well known as a death trap in the fall and winter storms, so ships tend to steer clear. They must have been pushed into it and nobody thought to check. A whole flotilla of boats-with rescue workers and their family!-are anchored just off shore.

They have everyone go up to the library, since it's the biggest area with a roof on the island and it's still raining the next day when everyone disembarks on the island. Alice is overjoyed to see her big sisters Pearl and Mara again. Sadly her brother Octavio passed away, but they assure her he never stopped looking for her.

Pranav is delighted because not only does he see his daughter, all grown up now, but he meets his son for the very first time! Everyone stays on the island for a few days, bunking in the library. They hash out a bunch of details, but everyone that had been stranded on the island doesn't want to leave now. It's their home! They do set up weekly boats that'll come by with materials and things to trade, or to take the island residents to the mainland for an outing. They won't be able to come by in the fall and winter, but by then the houses will be nice and warm and comfortable. Best of all, Alice is able to see a doctor! She and the baby are doing great.

Because it would take so long for Alice to get to a hospital, she and Pranav have a serious discussion about what to do. The choices are to either stay on the mainland so that she can get to the hospital, or have a doctor stay on the island. They eventually decide to have a doctor come to the island, because after being stranded for so long they're both a little scared to actually leave.
https://i.imgur.com/W8CHk8f.jpg
Life being what it is, Alice goes into labor the one day the doctor isn't there! He'd had to go back to the mainland to assist on an emergency, but had promised to be back the next day. He left an emergency phone since the island wasn't equipped just yet for routine phones. Alice yelled for Pranav who was down fishing at the beach, and he hurried back at the panic in her voice.
https://i.imgur.com/c0xeacS.jpg
Luckily he was able to keep from panicking and remembered the instructions. He got her into a tub of clean fresh water and dialed the doctor on the emergency phone to walk them through the birth of their child. Hopefully nothing would go wrong!

Just a few short hours of labor and little Mack Driftwood was born, happy and healthy! The doctor said he would be by the next day to check both mother and son out but that everything sounded like it was just fine and that the two of them should make sure to rest. Pranav decided he needed to rest too after going through that!
https://i.imgur.com/Qm0mR2Q.jpg
Mack just so happened to be born on Love Day, and even though they were supposed to be resting, Pranav couldn't help but surprise Alice with a gift he had gotten her.

New clothes! He'd gotten some for himself too but his were far less impressive than hers. Besides, Alice loved clothes and she adored being able to be fashionable again. It was the perfect icing on top of an already perfect day. After all, no matter how much she loved clothes, clothes couldn't top a happy healthy son!

Contact with the outside world meant they were able to start making their house a comfortable home. A brand new kitchen was one of the first things they got.
https://i.imgur.com/MTeDlw2.jpg
A weeder was probably the first. It meant Alice spent a lot less time doing the back-breaking work of weeding, which meant she was able to finish Alex's house. It also had another benefit.
https://i.imgur.com/kbid3qx.jpg
They were expecting another child! So now she wouldn't have to labor in the garden so long and this would hopefully be a less stressful pregnancy. In all the excitement of being rescued and having their first child, they forgot to obtain contraceptives! Oops!

Alice actually makes a load selling hand-made wooden items. Especially bath tubs. Sims on the mainland go crazy for them! She only needs to make a couple to fund some pretty big improvements on the island. They plan to finish furnishing their house and Alex's and Neeshem's. Then maybe they'll do something else.
Here's what their house looks like so far!
https://i.imgur.com/ScO8vyb.jpg
I'm pretty happy with the outside. The footprint of the house is small enough they still have plenty of yard and room for the garden.
https://i.imgur.com/veJ0Oee.jpg
The downstairs. It has the children's rooms (it's almost like they knew they would have two LOL) a bathroom, and the kitchen/dining. Which is downstairs because at first most of their furniture was there!
https://i.imgur.com/tq6BV4l.jpg
So the living area is upstairs. It's a pretty new addition so it hasn't really been seen in the story. The master bedroom and a future master suite are upstairs as well.
Neeshem's house is big and fancy but basically empty inside. It has all the basics required but it isn't really furnished. (Technically I have everything built and somebody living in all the residential lots but I'm not staying I'm done until they are properly furnished)
https://i.imgur.com/6hUpGda.jpg
Alex's house is just as empty inside as Neeshem's. It's a dark brick with stained glass to help keep out the sun, since she's a vampire. It does look pretty gloomy though because of that, which really doesn't fit her personality!
https://i.imgur.com/81ELgvL.jpg
The other residential is still just a shed but I've got plans for it! Alice just needs to make that moola. Poor Pranav isn't very good at making money. He averages about 1000 a day with fishing, while Alice can make that with a single bathtub and she can make several a day! Pranav makes up for it in taking care of the chores around the house though, so he's forgiven.
