Sorry this chapter took so long. Speaking of "long", this is a kind of long chapter........hope it doesn't drag on or anything. Please excuse any spelling or gramatical errors; oh and please don't forget to leave me a comment so I know how my story is doing............be nice but do let me know what you think. (Jenny on the phone with her Mother)
Jenny: I'd love for you to finally meet Matt. Jenny: Well of course...........I'll ask but I'm sure he wouldn't mind you staying here for your visit. It would after all give you and I some time to catch up and some time for you and Matt to get aquanted. Jenny: Really? That soon? This weekend? Jenny: Why of course I'm sure he'd love to have you. Hold on Mom. Hey Sweetie?
Matt: Yeah?
Jenny: Would you mind my Mom coming and staying for the weekend with us?
Matt: Of course not. I was going to meet her at some point wasn't I?
Jenny: Well of course you were.
Matt: Well OK then. Besides you know I'd do anything within my power to make you happy.
Jenny: I know you would.............and to think there are people who wonder why I love you. Jenny:Hey Mom? Matt said it'd be just fine for you to come spend the weekend with us. We can't wait.
(They continued to talk.) Jenny: Well Matt uses a wheelchair and so there are some people who are just too narrow minded to see what I see. Jenny: Mom! I did tell you all about Matt. I've written about him in numerous letters........didn't you read them? What!?!?! You haven't gotten any letters for months? Terrific. Matt: I wonder what's going on.
Jenny: Mom just meet him. You should at least go ahead and visit and I'm sure you'll love Matt too.........once you get to know him.
(Jenny kept talking too her Mother for a while longer) Jenny: Please. For me Mom. I haven't seen you in ages. At least come and say "hi". Matt: Say Jen? What was all that about?
Jenny: I guess the mail has been tied up........not due to the civilian post office but because the mail just doesn't seem to keep up with her transfers.
Matt: That's not what I was talking about. Jenny: Oh that. Well it's just that Mom is afraid you won't be able to have a job........and doesn't like the fact you're disabled. Matt: Oh.........I see. Well did you tell her I do some commission work?
Jenny: Yeah I did. I also told her that you have done some poetry and some short stories and they were published. Matt: What about that I did work.............I used to work in business adminastration before my accident.
Jenny: Yup. She just needs to meet you; I'm sure she'll change her tune then. Matt: It doesn't sound like your Mother wants to give me a chance............I'm sorry to tell you Jen. Jenny: Please Matt.............she isn't a bad person...........she's just.......
Matt: Ssssssshhhhhhh. Listen. I think that we need to have a serious talk...............before your Mom gets here. (They sat in the quiet...........listing to the crackle of the fire..........and feeling the warmth from their embrace.) Matt: Jen. I love you...........and somehow I got lucky enough to have you love me back.
Jenny: Well why wouldn't I? Matt: Sweetie. Haven't you noticed the way people stare at us sometimes?
Jenny: Oh you're talking about THOSE people? The ones that stab themselves in the lip because their too busy watching us eating our dinner?
Matt: Yeah. Those are the ones. Honey why is it you think that those people stab themselves in the lip or walk into a mailbox?
Jenny: Well I know it's because they can't take their eyes off of us.
Matt: Yes it's that. But I know that some of those people can't figure out why in the world you'd want to be with me.
Jenny: They're just ignorant jerks!
Matt: Well true as that may be..................there are going to be those who always have been and always will be like that.
Jenny: Well those people can take a hike.
Matt: Even if one of those people who feels that way just happens to be your Mother?
Jenny: She'll change her mind..............you'll see.
Matt: I just want you to be prepared.............someone has to willing to change before they can achieve any change.
Lumbar: Arf! Woof! Bark! Jenny: What is it?
Lumbar: Duh. Why else would I bark like this?
Matt: I think he's warning me of a siezure on the way.
Lumbar: Ya think? Matt: OK I'm in my chair..............are you happy?
Lumbar: Almost. Jenny: Come on.............let's get you in bed before it hits.
Matt: Oh..........yeah........just what I wanted to hear.
Jenny: What's that? Matt: You want to get me in bed.
Jenny: Very funny. You're funny Matt: In fact you're so funny..........it makes me want to kiss you. Matt: Note too self............."laughter = kisses". Jenny: You get comfy while I get your meds together.
(Matt took the meds that make a siezure less severe.)
(Matt had a seizure...........but a very mild one...........thanks to Lumbar alerting them of it coming Jenny was able to take steps to lessen it.)
Matt: Honey?
Jenny: Hmm?
Matt: Would you mind just laying in bed next too me?
Jenny: How's this for an answer?
Matt: Terrific! (They started to talk about the future.)
Jenny: I wanted to be a nurse............but being a house wife cooking for and raising some children would be wonderful too. Matt: One of these days you'll be a Mommy...............and you'll be terrific one. Jenny: Oh thankyou.................do you really think so?
Matt: Yes...........I do. I've been told we could still have children and I know you'd make an excellent Mother. Matt: I am going to be the luckiest man on Earth.
Jenny: Hey! I thought you already said you were the luckiest man on Earth.
Matt: Um yeah?
Jenny: Well? If you are already supposed to be the luckiest man on Earth then what gives? Matt: Hmmmmmmmmm. I dare say you're right. I'm already the luckiest man on Earth........but the honor of being your husband will just seal the deal.
Jenny: Nice recovery.
Matt: Why thank you. Kiss mwa kiss mwa.
Jenny: Matt!?!?! Matt: What can I say...........siezing to sizzeling in less the 30min. You're a new wonder therapy!
Jenny: Ha ha ha ha. He he he he. Very funny.
Matt: But I aint sharing.................no way. Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!(like the seagulls from Finding Nemo) Jenny: Matt I love you so much.
Matt: And I you. You're my angel. "Angel", I think that's what I'm going to call you from now on. You were after all an answered prayer. (Later that weekend.)
Jenny: Mom! Oh it's been so long.
Amy/Jenny's Mom: Oh Jenny.........it's so good to see you. Jenny: I have a little something for you.
Amy: Really? For me? Amy: Why you shouldn't have.
Jenny: I hope you like it.
Amy: Well of course I do.............it came from you. Jenny: Ready to meet your future son-in-law/my fiance?
Amy: Sure. OK.
Jenny: Lets go see if he is awake.
Amy: So far I'm not very impresseed Jen.
Jenny: You haven't met him yet.
Amy: Yes I know. I don't want a lazy son-in-law.
Jenny: He isn't lazy Mom. He has medications that tend to make him very sleepy.........that's all. Amy: So can we go out?
Jenny: Sure.........we can go out.
Amy: So if you and I wanted too we could grab the keys and go...........this very second? Jenny: Well no.............I'd have to have someone else come and stay with Matt. Mom why are you trying to pick this apart before you've even met him? You haven't had a chance to seen how happy he makes me. Can't you just be happy that I've met someone who makes me happy? Amy: Jenny why not come fly home with me. I'll trade in my 1st class ticket in for 2 coach seats............and we'll go home. You need to look out for your future.
Jenny: No Mother! I'm staying right here. Matt is my future. Amy: I don't like the idea of you being with Matt. He'll never be of any help to you. And besides...........I thought you wanted to have a family some day. Be smart honey...........stop looking with your heart and start thinking with your head. Jenny: Mom! How can you say such a thing?!?!?
Amy: Because you and I can't even go out for lunch..............cuz he needs a babysitter.
Jenny: He doesn't get a "babysitter" he just needs someone around incase he has a seizure. Amy: I don't see how this can possibly work out............not in the long run anyhow.
Jenny: It will work.............because we love eachother. Amy: You need someone who can help you when you need it..............how can he do that? Come home with me.............before it's too late.
Jenny: For the last time Mother.............I............am not...........going............to fly home! Not with you........not with anybody. Amy: You'll see dear. In time you'll get sick of playing nurse-maid...........and you'll want a real husband.
Jenny: What ever! That's a terrible thing to say about the man I love. Amy: Say what do you know.............someone finally decided to join the land of the living huh?
Matt: I'm sorry. Have you been here long?
Amy: I had a delightful TV dinner for lunch and watched an entire baseball game on the TV while you were snoozing the day away. Matt: Well hello, and welcome. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am sorry I wasn't awake too greet you. It's getting cold............and that hurts the rods I have in my back.
Amy: So? Toughen up soldier.
Matt: It's not that simple. I've actually got quite an exceptional tolerence for pain. Amy: Sure.............when it's bright and sunny.
Matt: Um...........excuse me ma'am if I'm being too forward.............but why do you seem to dislike me so much? Amy: For starters, you don't have a job.
Matt: I did...........before I got hurt I was in business administration.
Amy: Uh-huh..........and now?
Matt: Well I have a large savings account, and I've published several poems and stories. I've also done some consulting work.
Amy: Still not what I'd call a steady income.
Matt: I get an additional monthly check from the Government, another one from the disability insurance I had through the company I worked for. I have means of earning an income to support us. And Jenny will be paid to care for regardless of our marital status.
(from outside)
Jenny: Mother! Can I talk to you? OUTSIDE!?!?! Amy: OK............what's up? Were you wanting to talk about where I'll be sleeping? Jenny: Yeah we need to figure out where you'll sleep...........but that's NOT why I wanted to talk too you out here.
Amy: So what did you want to talk about...................1st WooHoo? Jenny: I haven't done.................that yet. But I know it's going to be with Matt. Amy: That should be..............."EXCITING".
Jenny: Mom I love him. He and I are going to be together. Amy: You're letting love blind you.
Jenny: No mother I'm not. I'm not blinded by love............driven by it perhaps. Amy: You should have gone for a richer sim.............someone who could take proper care of you. Jenny: Mom?
Amy: Hmmm?
Jenny: How can you be my mother and yet understand so little about me?
Amy: I'm only trying to look out for what is in your best interests.
Jenny: No. You're not. Jenny: Money can not buy love or happiness. I didn't dream of a rich sim sweeping me off of my feet when I was little. I wanted to stay on the farm and have a yard full of kids. Amy: So pack your bags.
Jenny: No! Jenny: Life isn't TV. Most people don't have perfect anything. With Matt though I've got something that's perfect. Amy: Just back off............and try and see some new people. Jenny: And what's too say that if I went on a date with somebody..........they wouldn't take a curvy road too fast and have a car crash and be in same situation as Matt? Would you want me to leave my spouse over an illness or injury that they couldn't help?
Amy: Well that's different.
Jenny: How?!?!? Amy: That person MIGHT end up like Matt. You could end up with someone who is disabled..........that's true. But why are you signing up for a 100% gaurantee bumpy road? Amy: It'd be easier to give him his ring back.........then to go through a divorce..............don't ya think?
Jenny: Not going to happen Mother. Amy: His savings will run out. You'll be the one having to pick up all the slack + probably still need to get a part time job. Why put yourself in that predicament? Jenny: Do you like having a daughter?
Amy: Of course I do.
Jenny: Than stop it! Jenny: I could care less about how much money he has in his savings! That would make me a gold-digger if I did. I don't feel sorry for him...............my love for him isn't out of pitty, it's out of admiration and respect. Amy: You're supposed to listen to what I say young lady.
Jenny: You know what? It's late..............and to be perfectly honest, all of this is giving me a terrible headache.
Amy: Fine!
Jenny: I'll make arrangements so you and I can go have dinner out tomarrow...............just you and me. So we can sit down and talk about this..............once and for all.
Amy: Yeah.........great. I'm having such a ................"wonderful" ........visit.(dripping with sarcasm)
Jenny: Do you want to sleep in my bed or on the couch?
Amy: I'll take the couch. The dog won't be coming over and drooling on me in the night will it?
Jenny: NO! He stays almost exclusively by Matt's side. Matt: I'm worried. I want to be with Jenny. I'd hate for anything to ruin what we have. I just wish her Mother would give me a chance. She might even like me. Jenny: Oh were you a good boy Lumbar?
Amy: I'll just drink this last cup of joe............while you get the couch ready.
Jenny: I was already planning on it. Amy: That stubborn girl of mine..............why won't she listen to reason? Jenny: I thought the day would never end. Jenny: All I wanted was just for them to get along.............as much as any in-laws can. Jenny: This is all just making me a nervous wreck. Jenny: I just have to go in and check in on him........somehow.........even .just looking at him makes me feel good. Jenny: I love you Matt. If it comes down to it............you're who I can't live without. Jenny: At least now maybe I can get some shut eye. Matt: You're such a great cook.............I couldn't help but wolf it down. Each bite was tastier than the last.
Jenny: I'll just have to make you your very own batch then...........so you can have your fill.
Amy: It's even better when you taste it.
(Jenny huffs & gives her Mother a glare.) Barney: Hey Jenny. Long time no see. Glad that I'm not filling in for you because of illness this time.
Jenny: Well I don't know.............in a way............I'm going out because of a pain in my neck.
Barney: Oh............hmmm sounds like I should be wishing you luck.
Jenny: I can always use it. You guys have fun
Barney: I always do when I'm staying with Matt..................he's such a crack up. Matt: I love your daughter............and I hope you can see that.
Amy: I can see you love eachother. Amy: But love doesn't pay bills or get anything done around the house now does it? Matt: That's true............but love can move mountains.
Amy: She should have someone who can help her. Matt: But I can do some things to help............especially when the weather is fair. Amy: Yeah and the 1st sign of cloudy weather and you're out to La La Land. Matt: Yes ma'am........you're right about me having trouble with bad weather. But there are still some things that I can do. It seems as though all you want to do is focus on what I can't do. Matt: Yeah when it rains...........I'm in tons of pain. But there is more to me than just that. Amy: I'm sorry if you fail to see my point. I only want what is best for my daughter. Matt: Then why won't you do what it is that your daughter wants...........for you to be happy for us? Matt: Your daughter is the sunlight in my life. Even if the sky is pouring rain or dumping snow............she makes me feel happy and complete. Amy: She wanted to be a mother some day. Are you going to take that dream away from her? Matt: No. I've no intention on making her loose out on motherhood.
Amy: Well...........how do expect me to believe YOU can make her a mother?
Matt: I don't care to go into those specifics..........but I can father children.
Amy: Eh-huh. Right. (At the restaurant.)
Jenny: OK Mom. Here we are.
Amy: Yay. Hostess: Table for two?
Jenny: Yes please. Jenny: I think I'll have the macaronni.
Amy: I don't have much of an appetite...........I'll just have some pie & coffee. Jenny: Mom what is with you?
Amy: What? Is it so wrong for me to want the best for you?
Jenny: Mom I've already got what's best for me...........and what's best for me is to be with Matt. Amy: I was only 18 when I had you...........and by 22 I was a widow. After that snake bite killed your father...........I had to join in the military just so we'd have a steady income. I had to bust my hump and do it almost all on my own; so don't tell me I'm not looking out for you. I don't want you to be left like me, a young widow...........only you would be one with no family and too old to start over again. Amy: I've heard about people having shorter life expectancies than the rest of us when they've had a spinal cord injury.
Jenny: That's a cop out! He can live to be a wrinkled up pruney old man! I just have to take good care of him. People who walk around get blisters that then start infections.............so what about them? Amy: That will be all miss.
Jenny: Mom.............you've got a choice here.
Amy: A choice?
Jenny: Yes. You can iether learn to except Matt...........just as he is............or you can decide not to bother comming for any future visits.
Amy: You'd tell me to get lost? Fine. This is the thanks I get for trying to look out for my one and only baby girl? You go ahead...........play nurse ............that's just fine.........but you go ahead and waste the best years of your life on him. Jenny: Mom. I love you. But I just don't think having you visit was such a good idea. Maybe we should end our visit.
Amy: I couldn't agree more. Amy: Fine I see how it is..............I also see blood isn't thicker than water after all. I'll be more than happy to go. Jenny: (Quietly sobbing.) Oh Matt!
Matt: What's wrong? What's the matter sweetie?
Jenny: Mom!
Matt: You poor thing. I'm so sorry. Jenny: I thought she'd come to like you once she met you.
Matt: Honey.............sometimes people make up their minds before they ever meet someone. I'm sorry that you were put in a posision of having to choose.
Jenny: There isn't anything for YOU to be sorry for...............it was my Mom not you. Jenny: My Mother could have chosen to keep an open mind and get to know you. She decided to make it a choice...............so it's her fault.
Matt: You know...............they say time heals all wounds. Maybe in time she'll come to her senses and see that she'll loose out on her only daughter.
Jenny: I hope so. I can't have my dad give me away.............but I would at least like to have my Mother there when you walk me down the aisle. Matt: Here.........let me hold you.
Jenny: Mmmmmmmm. It feels so good........to just sit here..........in your arms.
Matt: Well I'm glad........cuz it feels good to have you there.
Jenny: This almost feels good enough to make today not matter.
Matt: Hmmm. Well.......how would you feel about you and I taking a little trip?
Jenny: I'd like that. Um one or two bedroom suite?
Matt: How about one room with two beds.............and I promise not to do anything you don't want me to do.
Jenny: Mother problems...........what problems?
Matt: That's my girl. I'll go make the reservations.

Great chapter again! Oh my.. what a dissapointing meeting with Jenny's mom! When I was reading, I started to hate her for her acting and her behavoure... wanted to shake her, and open her eye's to let her see how happy Matt & Jenny are together! Matt is a lovely, handsome guy and a verry brave one to! He loves Jenny more then anything in this world, and I think he would be a verry good father.. I hope they will get married and at someday he will make Jenny a mother. I really would like to see that!

Jenny's mother is one of those people who are beautiful on the outside but ugly and harsh on the inside. She needs to open her eyes and realize nobody is perfect and no one stays perfect and healthy forever. I hope she comes around, sometimes with time to think people can see what they couldn't see before.

Okay, Heifer (don't worry, I can call her that, she's my room mate and she don't take offense, you should hear what she calls ME!), you know how there are real life people that you just want to smack upside the head? Well, your Amy is just like that. I feel so much hate and discontent towards her that I just may need to make my OWN Amy SIM and make HER life miserable, just to get even for Matt. I know that Matt is not that kind of SIM (Nor is Jenny), but it would sure make me feel better...(death by flies? death by satellite? Angry Ghosts are good too)...There is no
for Amy!! 
Your story is good. I'll expect the next part tomorrow by the time I get home from work!!

Hope everyone is willing to wait, trust me it's not harder on anyone than it is me.

Well my computer although be it fixed no longer contains anything........at all! Fujitsu wiped out everyone........so in order to make any more chapters I'll 1st have to re-make EVERYONE! Of course they may not look exactly the same and their homes may not look the same. If folks are still interested I can go ahead and try and recreate everyone to get the story going again.

Very good. Wjen will there be a chapter 11? Matt and Jenny will be great parents and the wedding should be good too! But will Jenny's mother be invited, and will she show up?
