4. Everything Is Growing

Just in time Robert began to produce masterpieces of art. This helped tremendously when it came time to expand the children's room.

 As we can see, Brenda is going through a phase. Is it an explosion of creativity at work, or something more akin to rebellion? You be the judge.

And now we see Ben getting in on the fun. Naughty boy. That's gross!

Two days away from their big day of aging to children, their room was not the only thing to grow. The size of the family grew too. Xavia and Robert have another set of twins! Another boy and girl. Belinda and Berjes are welcomed with loving arms. 





 Two boys and two girls are in the home now. With the oldest two ready to age up tomorrow, Xavia and Robert are considering 'trying again'. Before they do, one more thing is due to grow. That is the size of their home. Another bathroom was added for the parents to use exclusively. Doors where curious, little eyes need not roam, were locked. And plans for expanding the number of children came once again to their minds.

3. Expansion Needed

Ben and Brenda were about to be joined by another sibling, or two. As such their little nursery would
need to be expanded. But how and with what simoleons?

As Xavia worked hard in a conservationist career, Robert spent the majority of his day either caring for the needs of their youngsters or painting.

Robert was becoming known for his artistry and had become a Notable Newcomer celebrity. His
paintings were selling for a little more with each skill level he reached. Xavia and Robert hoped that their combined efforts would allow them to expand the house for their quickly growing family.

Before they can expand their home, Ben and Brenda grew out of their prams. They became toddlers to rule the kingdom. Both were independent and cute as could be.

2. Local Legends

After many long, hot hours under the island's sun, and with the help of the native locals, their home was built. During the building and socializing of those that lived already in Sulani, Robert and Xavia came to learn of a legend.







It was told to the locals their dream of making the island flourish with life again. They were told in turn of a legend. It was believed by some that to bring birth to the island, one had to bring to birth children upon it. The more children that were born, the more beautiful Sulani would become.








Both Robert and Xavia were skeptical. But since neither had any issue with having a large family and seeing as she was already pregnant when they moved, they smiled at the fanciful idea the natives presented to them. If it could be true who were they to not try?






Another belief or legend was that a blessing would come upon those that dreamed of bringing the island back to life through the births of their children. It was said their pregnancies would be special. Special in what way? It was not said. They learned soon enough when Xavia gave birth not to one but to two. Ben and Brenda are precious. They are adored.

Robert and Xavia also learned of another blessing the island supposedly gave to them. Fertility. It was not long after Ben and Brenda were born that Xavia became aware of another pregnancy. Husband and wife rejoiced with the news. They began to wonder. Maybe the legends were true.

 

1. Sulani or Bust

Windenburg was a beautiful place. The sky even though the sun shined in a cloudless sky could not seem to pierce the ever-gloomy light that blanketed the land. 

Xavia  and Robert were happy enough but they wished for something brighter. Something warmer and with more sun. After selling most of what they had, Xavia made the final call. They were moving to Sulani.

Sulani was just as beautiful as they hoped it would be. Almost. It did not seem as vibrant as the pictures they'd seen. Littered in the water and the land were piles of trash and debris. It broke their hearts. 

Now that they've moved and made this new land home, they could make a difference. They could clean up Sulani and make it vibrant again. First, they needed to build themselves a home. It needed to be large enough to care for a child too for Xavia was with child.
