02-17. Beach Time with the Faraz Family

I placed a beach in Lost Cove. I had given one of the new townies the career of Lifeguard. He needed a beach.
I did something different for a beach this time. I put down one of the Isla Paradiso pier homes and converted it to a public beach.
I named the venue "Lost At Sea."
The bedrooms were refurnished to create a dance room and a sauna room (which I later enlarged).
I didn't make too many changes to the main house area. Left it as a gathering place.
__________

While Bebhinn was at work, Emad took Faith to the Lost At Sea beach.
The two played in the ocean together. Will little genie Faith turn out to love the water as much as her father does?
She was enjoying herself.
But only time will tell what kind of genie power she will have!
One of the reasons I sent Emad to the beach was for him to make sure everything was working correctly. Although he's a genie, I had him prepare steamed vegetables when he got hungry. Faith got a toy from the pirate's chest.
Natalia the mermaid visited the beach too.
She seemed to relish the salt water.
When Bebhinn got off work, she joined Emad and Faith. While she had a quick meal, Bebhinn told her daughter about her raise at work.
The beach became a popular spot since the Faraz family was there. Ralph Burns and his teen daughter Tera rowed over in separate boats. The Burns family actually has a lot of money so buying two boats I guess was ok for them.
Emad spent a lot of time swimming. He swam far off into deeper waters too!
I had Bebhinn test fishing from the pier. I wanted to make sure I'd left enough room for that. She managed fine on the one side, but couldn't fish from the other side. I just deleted the fish spawner from that area since I couldn't find a good spot for her.
While Bebhinn danced to the stereo, I noticed Faith was getting tired. I decided the beach needed a crib for all the toddlers in Lost Cove, but I ended up having to get rid of a small balcony in order to enlarge the sauna room.
The Faraz family stayed longer at the beach then. Bebhinn didn't have to go to work the next day, so they could have a late night out.
Bebhinn took a revitalizing mud bath while Emad and teen Tera relaxed in the refreshing steam. Faith slept soundly nearby.
Later Tera did her homework and Mikel ate a late dinner. Mikel spent most of the day at the beach with Natalia, one of his housemates.
The grownups needed naps too. I had changed out the extra lifeguard seat for another lounger since everyone liked those chairs.
After the townies left, Emad and Bebhinn had the sauna to themselves.
They made good use of it!
Emad summoned up Bebhinn's favorite meal. Lobster! Perfect for a day at the beach.
Before heading home, Emad did a little more swimming. Bebhinn chose a sauna ducky bath. It was good to see her having fun!

02-16. Romance and Care

The Farazes may be an Evil couple, but that doesn't mean they don't show affection to each other or don't care for their daughter.
_____

Here are some random pics of Emad and Bebhinn's spontaneous flirting. Nothing new here. They had some free time while I was spying on the new townies.

Emad's flirtatious joke. A full course meal?
Going in for the kill.
They spoil each other.
_____
And still more of Emad and Bebhinn's autonomous flirting. Emad waited for Bebhinn to get off the phone so he could give her a "Heat of the Moment" kiss.
Heat of the Moment? He'd been planning it for a sim hour!
Faith says: Hey you two? Remember me? ...Fine! I'm outta here then!
Romance is never far from Emad's thoughts ... and dreams.
_____
Bebhinn had one more day before she finally had to go back to work after her marriage and birth of her baby. She played and spent time relaxing. I had to make her do it. She's a Workaholic. 
The next morning, her limo carpool arrived on time.
Emad woke up missing her. Poor evil flirt. 
But he had plenty to do. Faith still has skills she needs to work on.
_____
Some screenshots of The Four Loves of Bebhinn

Work!
Emad--because he actively pursues her.
He chases her down morning til night no matter what she's doing. 
Faith--but sometimes I have to remind Bebhinn she has a child.
When Faith gets older, I hope she demands Bebhinn's attention the way her father does! She might have to.
Horses. She's an Equestrian and she shows the horses as much attention as she gives her daughter.
__________

My sims get lots of wishes to take Faith out in the stroller too. The problem is, there aren't many places they can use it in Lost Cove. But I let them try.

_____
Faith gets along well with her babysitter, Leilani Ivey. Her traits are Family Oriented, Nurturing, Neat, and Childish.
She usually stays close to Faith in the toy room.
_____
Emad is telling Faith all about the dragon Fiend.
Faith already knows how to walk, but she's also learning the Handiness skill from playing in the walker.
In fact, she is almost ready to age up. She only needs to finish reading a few more skill books.
Mama and daddy take turns reading to her. Sometimes she reads by herself too.
And once--only once--she watched TV by herself while mama and daddy "socialized" in their bedroom!
