Married Life is Bliss
After their wedding, the couple discussed whose house they would live in. Madison loved the wide open lands of her parent's home, while Lewis loved the clean modern lines and rich accoutrements of his family home. Mady asked her siblings if either of them wanted to move into the Doe household, but they had already become comfortable with their new homes and didn't want to uproot themselves again.
Finally, Madison admitted that she had always loved Lewis' house, long before she ever knew him and had always fantasized about living there when she was an adult. With that, they packed up her meager belongings, put the house up for sale, and moved across the bay, to the Wolff house. Madison even got grants from the town to move her parents' graves; one of her requirements was that she wanted them either in a proper cemetery or on the property she was living on, instead of with some strangers.
Their life is just so 50's! Lewis works hard to try and make lots of simoleons (remember his lifetime want?) and when he comes home, he likes to just sit and read the newspaper, while Madison takes care of preparing dinner for them. Although she works just as hard, what with their garden and her painting and guitar, she doesn't seem to mind taking care of the house. Which is good, since Lewis refused to entertain the idea of a maid, as it was a frivolous expense.
He grumbled loudly about the protesters out in front of the court house, when the couple went down there to finalize the plans to move Madison's parents from their current graves. Something about how they wouldn't have the clothes on their backs or the roofs over their heads without science and so now they think it's okay to protest scientific advances.
Despite his love of material things and money, his throwback mentality about marriage, and his grumbly personality, Lewis really does adore his wife and dotes on her every chance he gets.
Of course, like all newlyweds, there was usually one thing uppermost on their minds.
The only thing he loved more than Madison and Money (in that order, thankfully), was exercising. He had a large gym on the ground floor of their home, set up with a teleivion and radio, two treadmills and a weight resistance machine.
Lewis was working his way quickly up the ladder in the police force, shooting some day to become an International Super Spy. Although Mady frequently lamented that when he stopped working the beat, she was going to miss seeing him in his uniform. I can't say I blame her. He's a really cute cop!
Life continued on in that fashion, with Lewis spending much of his time working out or at work and Madison spending her days growing fresh food and developing her painting skills, her artwork beginning to sell quite well in the local stores.
And every night, without fail, the couple spent their evenings together, catching up on the day's events and sharing their dinner. And spending quality time together every night.
All of which, of course, leads to predictable results. I love their different thought bubbles there. She's all glowing about being pregnant and he's thinking about money! (But how lame is it, that EAxis couldn't get the baby bump correct on their clothes? If they were going to have the moms spin into maternity clothes, put them in full outfits, that have a complete bump! Not this b.s. of a maternity shirt, with a nice large stomach as the baby comes due, and their regular pants, with their regular stomachs. LAZY!! And pathetic. (Word of Warning: You'll hear a similar rant when reading the next chapter for my Zahm Legacy family. That got written up first, but will get released after. I didn't realize I'd gotten pictures of this lovely f***-up by EAxis in both stories latest chapters.))
Madison spent many happy hours serenading her unborn child, anxiously waiting to get to meet this life growing within.
It takes Madison a moment to realize this is labor she's experiencing and not indigestion from the spaghetti and ice cream, followed by a chaser of fruit parfeit and cheesesteak she'd eaten earlier in the night. Lewis comes rushing in, panicking at his wife's screams, but she calms him down enough to take her to the hospital.
The next morning, Lewis and Madison Wolff bring home their new son, Emory. Lewis has only a few moments to play with his child before he has to rush off to work. (Emory's first two traits are Clumsy and Perfectionist - randomly chosen.)
Poor guy looks thoroughly exhausted there, doesn't he? Up all night and now he has to go to work all day.
Here's the portrait Madison did of Lewis. I don't think I kept it though, because I really wasn't happy with how "under water" it looked. That and it wasn't worth much, so it wouldn't appreciate a whole lot after she was gone. *winks*
A few months later, the couple hired a babysitter and spent a romantic evening in the park. Madison packed a picnic and she'd also brought her guitar and they enjoyed a quiet adult night out.
Of course, they could have done without the army of ants that decided to join their romantic picnic.
As crazy as life was now, with a young baby in the house, Madison still found time every day to work on her paintings. They centered her and calmed her mind of the tormoil of the day.
She loved decorating her home with artwork she had done. The couple was slowly selling off the old generic paintings Lewis' parents had hung on the walls with work lovingly crafted by Madison. This one was earmarked for their son's room.
Speaking of their son, Emory has grown into a really cute toddler! Yeah, I have NO CLUE where the blond hair came from. Madison is a redhead and Lewis has black hair. Madison's mother had red hair and her father had brown. Lewis' parents were both dead when he married Mady, so I'm not positive what color hair they had, although in another game, they both have black hair, although I don't know if they start the game as a couple or if one of the Wolffs randomly married someone and maybe one of Lewis' folks had blond hair. *shrugs*
And this is every mother's favorite time, when their child has gone down for a nap and they can catch up on everything that didn't get done earlier in the day.
Madison spends a lot of Emory's awake time either teaching him the necessary basics or else playing her guitar for him while he plays with his doll house.
Although maybe she should teach him it's not nice to pull the heads off of his toys? *snickers*
The Wolff's are closing in on Lewis' lifetime dream of having more than §100,000, so Lewis has begun taking on some tutoring jobs on the weekends with the richer families in town, charging exhorbitant fees to help their children get A's in school.
Not quite sure what's up with this dad, that he's dressed in ratty, stained, ripped clothes, when he's so ungodly rich. I mean, geeze, they've got marble on the floor of their entry way, for heaven's sake!
And in closing, since I'd shown Bella in an earlier chapter here, I figure it's only fair that I show Mortimer Goth as well. He went and got OLD! Not ugly looking, but not very good looking either. *shrugs*
