Scenario

Elke and Leo met when they were young, and fell in love at first sight. Together, they started the family of their dreams and had two beautiful children: their daughter Emily, and their son Louis. All was wonderful in the world, with Emily planning on heading off to Sim State soon, and Louis having the time of his life going out with his friends to all the latest clubs. However, all that may come crashing down. Elke has been diagnosed with a mysterious disease, and the stress is starting to hurt the family. Can Leo find a cure for his wife? Can the kids go on, knowing that their mother is so sick? What will happen to their relationships under the stress? Only you can tell!

My Story (02/16/07)

Unfortunately, before Elke got better, Louis had also contracted the mysterious disease, along with David Carter who works with Elke. Poor David--he's now homeless and sick, too! Christopher, one of the neighborhood teens, also became ill. He probably deserved it, since he stole all the money off the family's money trees before he left the house that day (the trees have since been sold).
Emily quickly accepted all her lovely scholarships and headed off to Sim State so she wouldn't get sick, as well. Leo seems to be immune to just about everything. He has been faithful to take care of the family AND not miss a day of work during all of the illnesses.
Elke finally got better, and she and Leo celebrated by downing two whole jugs of the elixir of life, between them. They felt great, and added nearly half their adult lifespans back to themselves! While Louis was still recuperating from the mysterious disease, Elke and Leo were frolicking in the hot tub, with predictable results
At first, Elke wasn't sure if she was pregnant or if the dinner she'd eaten the night before had been a little "iffy." As it turned out, it was both! She spent a lot of time in the bathroom for several days, but she finally got over the food poisoning and got into the second phase of her pregnancy, so she quit being sick so often (whew)!
Somewhere in there (time was kind of whizzing by there for a while), Louis got better and headed out to join Emily at Sim State. The last day he was at home, however, he'd brought a young lady (Kimberley) home with him from school, who turned out to be an orphan. After Louis left for college, Leo and Elke decided there was plenty of room for another teen to move in, so they added Kimberley to their family.
What did Kimberley do? She immediately ran away! After worrying about her for a the better part of that day, Leo finally reported her missing, to the officials. It took two calls, but finally a cop car pulled up, and an officer escorted Miss Kimberley (in tears) back to her new home. After some conversation and hugs, Kimberley decided to stay, and as Elke's due date grew nearer, Kimberley began to study to catch up on her school grades. She also kept going to her job, where she had gained some good skills and had made some good friends. Elke and Leo told that as soon as she brought her grades up, they would pay for her to go to college with Emily and Louis. She also was given the Orphans' Scholarship ($1500), so she really had hopes of going away to college herself, quite soon.
Just before this chapter of the Perry Family was over, little Leander was born, Louis' bed moved out of the kids' room, and a crib moved in for Leander. Kimberley wasn't sure she really wanted to share her new bedroom, but she realized she was going to be leaving soon, anyway, so gracefully gave in.

For fun, here's a blooper that took place, while Elke was still pregnant. Now the questions arise: How many other people were affected by the mysterious disease, after David and Christopher left the Perry's house with it? Will anyone die of the disease? How long will Kimberley have to wait to go to college? How will all three teens do in college once they're all there together? Will Elke and Leo have any MORE children (after Leander)? Will they remain young forever?
