The world is too crazy for me: Babies 92, 93 & 94

~*Dwayne's POV*~

The house is so quiet, I clearly hear the crickets chirp in the backyard, and the noise of the cars on the highway. My dishonesty really got me in trouble once and for all. If I hadn't ignored Destiny all of a sudden, she wouldn't have come over, and put herself in danger.

"Well, Dwayne, stop standing there with a those huge eyes. Aren't you going to introduce me to this lovely lady?"

It takes a moment for me to get my voice back, but I manage to croak a few words.

"Mother, this is Destiny... My girlfriend."

My eyes drift to where Destiny is standing... And she's absolutely terrified, not even hiding it at all. Vampires have that effect on people.

"Uh, Dwayne, excuse me... I think I'm gonna go now," she whispers, turning towards the staircase.

In the blink of a eye, my mother stands in front of Destiny, shocking her even further, causing her not to be able to move at all.

"Aw, darling, don't be such a drag. Stay for a little while longer! What's the harm in that?" my mother's voice changes into a different tone... I finally click the fact, that she's compelling Destiny.

"Jesus Christ, mother!" I nearly scream, grabbing her by the arm and ushering her to my room. I had let it go to far, because of my own stupidity.

"I must say, boy, you have excellent taste in woman - she has a wonderful aroma around her. Now if you were a vampire, you could have tasted it long ago...," my mother thinks out loud.

"What the hell is wrong with you?! I love that woman in the other room, and here you go about feeding off of her like it's a everyday thing. Just because you're a vampire, doesn't mean you can come ruin my life."

The problem here is, I can't just put my mother on the streets. She would be a danger to the whole town, and I do still care for her, so I won't let her burn to death.

"Oh, come now Dwayne, don't be so melodramatic! You wouldn't be able to commit yourself to a woman, it's just not who you are! See how long you lasted with Lilac, and that poor girl loved you to death..."

"Mom... If you don't shut up about all of this right now, I swear to God, I will go to the Science lab and get a Vampirism potion, which I know you're not immune against, and I'll shove it down your throat."

"You wouldn't!" she snarls.

"Just watch me," I threaten, and walk out the room.

I push Destiny down the stairs and all the way out side. She's like a dead weight, not responding to my touch at all. Swerving her around to face me, her face mirrors exactly what I was thinking. Mind compulsion is a nasty thing, and I hate my mother for using it.

"Destiny, sweetheart... It's Dwayne. Do you remember where you are? You're outside my house."

"I... I... Shouldn't... Be... Outside... She told me to stay a little while... I have to go inside again...," she mumbles.

"No, it's fine. 'A little while' is already past, you don't have to stay any longer."

"I don't have to? I can go?" she asks me, then pauses. "Oh God. Dwayne. What just happened?!"

"You were compelled to stay in the house, against your will... I'm sorry, honey. I didn't mean to expose you to my mom. She just popped up unexpectedly."

A tear rolls down her cheek, followed by a stream of them. Destiny ends up crying over my shoulder, and I caress her hair, trying to sooth her.

"Wh-what does this all mean, Dwayne? I-I..," she yelps out between the tears.
"Shh, shh, it'll be alright...," I whisper.

I know the answer, but I can't manage to say the words out loud.

The end of us...

~*Destiny's POV*~

"Chica, leave me alone!" I shout, as Chica comes barking at the side of my bed, right where my face is hanging, trying to wake me up from my stupor. I send her scouring out of the room after I throw my bedside clock at the window. It wasn't meant for her, but at least it scares her.

Only now I realize where I am. In my bed, in my house, with all my kids. I just don't remember how the hell I got here. Last night is a memory I'd rather never think of again, and rather not remember at all.

Downstairs, I find Mason and Alexia working hard on some last minute homework they "forgot" to do. Lexi's face is a centimetre away from the table, and she looks utterly exhausted. Both of them look exhausted.

"Yo, kiddos, how about you have a early birthday so you can skip school today.. I think you guys deserve it," I smile. 

Mason & Alexia

Vernon, Percy & November

These triplet boys are the kind who cross through puberty and all of those hormones with a kind of "awkward" attitude. They're good friends, definitely, yet they don't talk about emotions - just plain old baseball and why they hate the teachers, is what they talk about.

Brandi & Annabelle

I look at the brand news twins, and I can't believe how much they look alike. In the history of my challenge, the girls are more prone to look different from each other, but both of these girls actually inherited their father's eye color.

My phone has been my center of attention, as I check back regularly to see if Dwayne hasn't left me any messages. All I need is a confirmation that he's alive and well. Instead of Dwayne, I get a incoming call from Calista, and answer it immediately.

"Hey, Dessie! How's it going? Okay, straight to the point... I just walked past this great bridal store, and they have some great dresses! Seeing as you and Dwayne will probably.. I think definitely... Get married after the challenge, how about you we go check it out?"

I sigh, holding back my tears. "That's probably never gonna happen.. It's a long, boring story..." With those words said, Calista informs me she will be at my house in just a few minutes. Ah, best friends, they're always there for you!

"So what the hell happened?" Callie asks, as we settle down to watch a romantic comedy on TV. I subsequently shut it off when they get to a kissing scene.

"Long story short; I went over there, met his vamp mother, got my mind messed with, and left after Dwayne helped me out. After that, I cried on his shoulder, realizing my relationship can be kissed goodbye."

"Ohh...," she trails off. What else could she say?

"Tell you what... How about we go out tomorrow, just us, and the toddlers... And maybe Chica too. We'll go to the park, forget all our troubles, and just have a good time. What do you say, you up for that?"

"As long as you don't mention Dwayne or his mother, that's fine," I mutter

"Oh yes, but before we even think about going out... You should probably find your next baby daddy."

And so I do. With the name Indigo Coates, I immediately assume he's a berry sim, and I'm right. What better way to end the final ten of the challenge than with some 

To make the time pass a little bit faster, I get back into sculpting, but I work way too hard with the pick, and the sculpture ends up crumbling to the floor. With the way my life has been going, I break down in tears.

Calista picks me up at 9 AM right on the dot, and drives like a maniac all the way to the park. It's mostly a day of talking, consoling, complaining, and even MORE talking. But most of all, a day where I can just relax.. And forget what happened. Something in my mind realizes that this is not how I usually react - I'd rather sit in a corner and mope. But now I see, I've changed; I've grown a lot stronger, so maybe I can survive this. Not maybe. Definitely.

I walk to the sidewalk to the ice cream truck to get some sweets ofr me and Callie, but my attention is diverted to the man I walk past... His face captures me, with a sense of familiarity. 

Like a crazy person, I stop the guy in his tracks, and awkwardly start talking.

"Um, I'm extremely sorry, but I swear I know you from somewhere..."

"No, I'm sorry.. Wait. I think I've seen your face before too," the blond man answers.

I sift through my memories like a computer sifting through pictures, and settle on Kindergarten.

"Does your name perhaps begin with an 'A'...?" I ask.

"Yes, yes it does. Alex is the name. I swear your name must start with a 'R', because I knew someone who I used to call by a pet name..."

Finally, I remember who he is; a fellow classmate of mine through Kindergarten and Elementary school.

"Alex! Alex Webber, now I remember. We went together to Kindergarten. You always called me-"

"-Rose. That's what I called you. My God, you've changed A LOT, Destiny!"

I hadn't been the only one to change; Alex has matured a lot since his younger days, but he still has his cute face.

"So, how's life been treating you? Have you-" Alex stops in the middle of his sentence, looking over to Brandi who is in my son Ryan's arms.

"Well, I WAS going to ask if you had a family and a job and all that, but I see you already do! Congratulations! Who's the lucky man?"

"No one, I'm afraid," I answer, not mentioning Dwayne as I'm not sure where that stands. "I'm doing something that's called a 100 baby challenge, so I'm just having lots of kids with different men... I'm at baby 91 now. Almost done."

Alex is obviously taken aback by my confidence in telling him all that, but he quickly recovers. "Well, good for you, Rose. I never thought you would do something like that, but I believe in you."

Checking my watch, I see that the kids would soon be getting back home from school.

"Well, it was nice chatting to you Alex, but I have to go. See you around?"

With super fast reflexes, Alex whips out a piece of paper from his pants and a pen, and writes down his number.

"Remember to call me!" he calls out behind me.

"Who was that?" Calista whispers as we walk away. "I think he likes you..."

Finding myself still strangely excited after my encounter with my old school pal, I focus a lot of my energy on teaching Annabelle to walk. It takes quite a while to get her walking in a straight line, let alone getting her to stand up on her two feet.

A long time after their bedtime, Percy and his brothers are still up and playing like crazy, having found a lot of dolls, and hosting a tea party between all of them. It's the weirdest get together I have ever seen in my house.

My expectations of them becoming bored is very wrong, as they sit there for more than a hour at least. Each one of the toys got a special name - Lulu the alien, Gigi the giraffe, Octavius the octopus, Buffy the purple haired doll, and so on. I find myself amazed at the creativity they possess.

My eyes begin to droop from exhaustion, yet Nicki doesn't allow me to go to sleep yet, demanding my attention and affection.

"Aw, Snickerdoodle," I croon. "I'll always love you. But it'd be nice if you would let me go to sleep now..."

Time flies by, and already I'm on at the start of day 3 of my pregnancy. Lexi and Mason enjoy their last moments as teens, as after their tiring day of school, they have their birthday celebrations.

To calm my nerves for the impending labor, I busy myself with some re-decorating. I always took a lot of pictures of the kids, but a lot of them ended up in cardboard boxes and packed away. I hunt up these photos and start hanging them all over the walls, where ever I can find a neat spot for them.

As a birthday gift to themselves, Lexi and Mason have some fun at the bar together. It definitely won't be their last time, as they plan to open a club together, where both of them will serve as the mixologists.

Alexia & Mason

The big moment finally arrives, and I welcome, not one, not two, but yet again three new additions to the house, bringing the grand total to 94 babies!

Baby #92
Sierra Rose

Baby #93
Violet Rose

Baby #94
Persia Rose

No berry babies this time around. I can only hope they have some interesting features when they age up!

I put the babies and the toddlers to rest, and decide to make it a early night and creep into bed as well. Of course, at that precise moment, I get a call, and the caller ID shows exactly who I had hoped it would be: Dwayne

"Dwayne," I answer excitedly. "I was so worried about you - I thought you were dead, with your mother being there and all. Are you okay?"

A moment passes before I hear his voice reply. "I'm fine, nothing is wrong with me physically. My mother is still here... And that's why I am calling."

"With my mother here, I realize I left a lot of loose strings back in Bridgeport. I shouldn't have left in the first place. So I'm going back, and I'm taking my mother along. I will take Vampirism B-gone potions along with me in my bags, and I will cure my entire family...hopefully. But the thing is, with the way things are at this point... We can't be together."

I choke up when he says those words, and I struggle to stop my tears from falling. "Fine," I choke, obviously lying. Nothing is fine. "I understand. You need to sort out your problems."

"I will be back," he adds. "But it may take a while. I will always love you, always remember you, and always wait for you. I'll wait for the right time to return to you." With that, he ends the call.

My brain's capacity to bring forth a suitable emotional reaction has abandoned me, and I don't really know what to do, other than cry. But the last words that go through my mind before I go to bed is something I will always have in my head.

"I won't always be waiting for you... I won't love a ghost for the rest of my life."

~♥~

And that's the ending of another post! *cue the hatred of fans* I know, I know, I'm stupid. I create huge drama bringing Dwayne and Dessie together, only to have them drift apart... I blame that on my own messed up mind. If Destiny were a real person, I think she'd hate me. O.o

For all my readers, know that I made this post in 2 days, quite rushed if I say so myself. So please, please, please comment on what you think, or to point out where I messed up! Okay, I'm off to study for a Geography test so...

Ciao!
