Chapter 10--Teen Romance/Cinnamon and Carly are Born
Christy and Laura cleaned up after a family dinner. "I've been so cranky and moody lately," Laura told Christy, "and I don't know why."
She soon figured it out...in spite of being careful, she was pregnant. Christy was pregnant, too. Their due dates were just 2 months apart.
Laura gave birth to a little girl named Cinnamon. Even though it had come sooner than she planned, she loved being a mom. Boden was thrilled to be a new dad. He spent as much time with the baby as he possibly could and was the happiest he had ever been.
Christy also had a girl and named her Carly.
Blaze started sleeping in the guest bedroom a lot. "I want to be closer to the baby in case she wakes up in the middle of the night" he told Christy.
Cady invited Grayson and Brandon over after school. Boden and Laura let them use the jacuzzi. Brandon tried to impress Cady by bragging about winning a match for the school tennis team.
"That's nothing," said Grayson. "Dude, you should have seen these killer jumps my friends and I were doing when we went skiing in the mountains. This one kid almost broke his arm. It was crazy."
The next day, Cady just invited Grayson over. They started seeing a lot of each other.
It wasn't long before they shared their first kiss on the front porch.
Alcoholics Anonymous was really working for Orlando. His relationship with Bliss was better than it had been in years, and he started going through her list of things that needed to be fixed around the house and checking them off.
He even pitched in to help with his nieces. The family was happy with the changes they saw in Orlando.
Cullen grew into a little boy who was the spitting image of his father, Orlando.
He liked playing with Cady's old toy oven. He told his dad he wanted to grow up to be a chef, just like Uncle Blaze.
Shortly after that, Orlando threw the toy oven out and bought Cullen a rocket.

Notes for Simmers--Orlando is actually Orlando Bertino, who shows up in the game as a little kid who will sometimes come home on the school bus with other kids.
Notes for Newbies--There are several ways to add a sim to your existing lot. Once you've become friends with an adult sim, you can get them to move in by clicking on them and choosing the option Propose/Ask Sim to Move in or Propose/Engagement, and then marry them.
If you have the Open for Business expansion pack, you can invite them over and use the cheat Ctrl-Shift-C and type in "addneighbortofamilycheat on."
To add any sim to a lot, regardless of age or if your sim is friends with them, even if you already have the max 8 sims on a lot, you can use the tombstone of life and death to cheat. You don't need any expansion packs to get the tombstone. First, you will need to type in the boolprop cheat from your neighborhood menu (not while you're on the lot): Ctrl-Shift-C and type in "boolproptestingcheatsenabled true." Then go into your lot and shift-click on a sim and click "More" until you get to "Spawn." Click Spawn and choose Tombstone of L&D. A tombstone will appear (I usually hide it somewhere in the back of a lot so I can use it again if I want to). Next, turn boolprop off (it can cause problems in your game if it runs too long): Ctrl-Shift-C and type "boolproptestingcheatsenabled false." Then just click on the tombstone and select Add Neighbor to Family. You'll see the names of every sim in the neighborhood, and you can pick whoever you want. WARNING: Do not randomly click items when using boolprop or the tombstone as some of them can crash your game; only click something if you know what it does.
