Hi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the new forum so far. I know I am!! I'm Charla, a big fan of The Sims 4! ☺️ I was going to join on the old one, but, as it only had a week left I decided to wa...
"I'm afraid it's time to take you back home" Vanessa said with a heavy heart. "Home with mommy?" Catalina asked excitedly "No... home with Ms. Masami"
Catalina became confused. "But why?" She was ready to go with her mother. "Right now honey, I can't - I don't have anything to give you. Food, clothing, a home. I need help before I can help you" "I can help" she quickly responded. Her offer made Vanessa smile
"You're so sweet, but it's alot more than you understand" In the back of her mind she still worried about being chased by those goons, since leaving them behind in Glimmerbrook she hasn't felt entirely safe. "Ms. Masami is looking for you, I want to take you back with her. She's done so well in taking care of you these years, I'm sure she'll continue while I'm away" Catalina took a minute to understand her mother was leaving again. It made her frown. "If you go away, come back again?"
Vanessa wasn't sure how to answer, but she didn't want to disappoint her either. She wasn't sure how long it would take to get back on her feet or feel safe again. She lifted her up and brought her in for a hug. As much as she wanted to tell her she wasn't sure, she couldn't do it. "Yes, I'll come back" A false promise slipped
Carrying her, all three walked towards Starlight Boulevard through the alley. A teenager walked by and Vanessa remembered of one final thing she wanted to do. She pulled out a disposable camera that she found in the cabin of Granite Falls, from her pocket and asked the teen to take pictures. She couldn't leave without having a photo of them together.
While they made their way back, Masami had a visitor. She was worried that something could've happened to Catalina, and with no one calling with any tips it was making her feel worse. "Calm down Masami. She'll be found safe and sound. Why don't you go inside and get some rest? There's already search groups looking for her, I'll stay here and keep an eye out" The retired firefighter told her. "Thanks Cristobal, but I'll stay out here with you. I'll rest once I know she's safe."
Arriving a block away it was time to say good bye again. Giving her a final hug she stood up and smiled as she watched Fish say good bye as well. "Mommy loves you honey" "Me too" Cat responded. "Go on from here, I'll watch you" "Come back, ok?" Cat made a final request. Her mother nodded her head after a brief moment.
"Bye bye" Cat waved to them "Bye" Vanessa watched as she walked towards the house, with her arms extended to maintain her balance. Before making the turn she looked on last time and waved to her mother and Fish. Fish was saddened that they were leaving her again.
"She made it" Vanessa turned away heartbroken, with tears running down her cheek. She was unsure of what to do, or where to go from there. As she walked towards the house, Catalina rushed to the open arms of a very familiar and loving person. "Hey! Look whose here, it's my little Angel!" Cristobal shouted. "Grandpa Cris!" Cat was happy to see him. Masami looked over upon hearing their shouts
Oh, wow, now that's a tear-jerker. I do hope Vanessa makes every effort to solve her problem so that she can go back and see about regaining custody of her child. Is Masumi a foster parent? This is a hard road. I do hope things get better for them.
