Alliances

When Lilith awoke, she found her four strong, healthy children cooking their breakfast fish. She took pride in her growing family.

After the morning meal, Adam took Genesis away from the camp to his secret fishing spot.

Genesis' Fishing Skill is now 10

Genesis was amazed at the natural wonder.

As much as Lilith loved her sons, she delighted in having a daughter.

With Delilah now older and more independent, Lilith felt the need for fun and another babe in the belly. Digging for rocks all day did not fill her fun meter.

She had fun dancing with her friends, but nary a man much less one worthy of coupling with showed up at the cliffs that evening.

Thus at the end of the day Lilith found herself cooking and eating her fish alone.

But the next morning, Lilith found a potential mate near her camp. She quickly set about seducing him.

As she worked her feminine wiles on him, she noticed Tahash's father furious in the background. How dare a man act as if she were a possession! She ignored him.

She went about flirtations as Tahash's father slunk off in defeat.

Mindful of being too close to camp, Lilith took the fair haired man to the cliffs.

Lilith has a Gold Date with Travis. Gold Dates 2/10 completed.

Lilith arrived back home to find the sun growing low in the sky, bathing the camp in beauty. The enchantment of the desert was taking root in her heart.

Now Genesis was joining his mother's refrain in urging his father to plant more varied crops. Adam reluctantly did so to please them.

In the dark hours, Genesis aged up to be a young man. He was now a Slob like his father.

There were many mouths to feed, so it was a blessing when there was enough fish for the morning meal.

Genesis decided now that he was grown, he needed to think about his skills and ability to support his own family. He decided to take up woodworking.

He did enjoy slipping away with his father to fish in the Grotto.

Adam resented the amount of time it took to care for his growing garden.

Adam drew his son closer in spirit.

But he turned away from Lilith and her other children. Lilith had another babe growing in her belly and this did not help Adam's growing resentment.

Adam despised the burden of a growing garden.

Genesis began to get cross with his mother if she complained about Adam.

Adam achieved Level 10 in Gardening. He also completed the Freelance Botanist aspiration. And reached the goal of one sim reaching Level 10 in fishing, gardening and handiness.

Adam and Genesis' growing friendship concerned Lilith filling her with unease.

In fact, Lilith began to feel a bit frightened and excluded from Genesis' life.

She responded by drawing Jair nearer to her. Jair indicated that he was not interested in leaving her household and that he wished to pursue his painting rather than leave to raise a family of his own. She supported this idea and promised him that he'd always have a place with her.

Jair aged up to his teen years with the trait Clumsy. He was a handsome lad.

Jair loved to create images and memories of his family.

Dinners were full of tension with Adam glowering at the family silently.

Due to his father's moods and complaints, Adam began to help tend to the crops.

He also helped with the wordworking.

And supplied the household with fish.

During the evening meal, Lilith began to feel the pangs of birth.

Lilith was anguished with birthing pangs, but the babe did not want to come. She soiled herself trying to make it to the toilets.

Between the searing contractions of her womb, she showered and dozed throughout the night, yet the babe did not come. Lilith grew frightened. What if she died in her childbed? What would happen to Jair, Tahash and Delilah?
