Say Hello to my new family the Raposo's (sorry I kinda like that last name, the last name and first name come from a guy who is in a band called Raposo; love there music) We have Greg Raposo, Jennifer Raposo, and Cloe Raposo. As you can see the parents are so much in love. :-)
(Thank you to all CC creators.) On with the story...
(Thank you to all CC creators.) On with the story... Hello everyone, my name is Jennifer. Thank you for coming to our house. Sorry it doesn't feel homey we just moved into are home. It's small but it shall do for know. You see, we moved to this little town to get away from the hussle and bussle of the city. We actually had to spend almost all our money to move her. It cost a lot to move from one city to another town. We were only left with $20,000. We are young parents fresh out of high school. Greg is 23 and I am 24. Cloe here is 3. As you can see the house is empty. It's only a two bedroom (i guess you can say it is big enough for us) There is no dinning room and barely a living room. The bathroom is kinda small as well. I hope there is enough room for our furniture when we get it in. We ordered it from a thrift store just before we got to the house. I hope it comes in soon. We need a place to sit down and relax. Well our furniture finally came in. As you can see we had some room for stuff. I just wish the kitchen could look better. We need to fix up stuff when we get money. As you can see Greg had to buy a junk car from this guy down the road. He said he will fix up, but I have yet to see him fix anything. After buying things wwe have about $3,795 dollars left. I guess we can keep it to pay our bills and maybe buy one new outfit per-person. Wow! People around her are very nice. Someone left us a computer at our doorstep. I am gratefull they did because we need something if we want to find a good job. The newspaper doesn't really help. Jennifer: Greg baby, I am going to go to Sim-Mart to see if I can find some clothes for us.'
Greg: We don't have much money pooh bear. We will have to wait till I can find a job in the Law Enforcement. I put in an application.
Jennifer: We have enough to buy at least maybe two outfits for each of us. Please baby!
Greg: OK, you may as long as it is only one outfit, TWO max.
And with that I left and headed to the store. Off I went to the store. Of course I had to walk, (we have no car) Except for the broken down piece of junk in the driveway that Greg insisted on getting so he can fix it up. has he NO!! Here I am at the store. I feel so bad because I am the type of person that likes to get clothes for a week. But becuase of the budget I am forced to only get 2 pairs of clothes each. :-( I guess I am going to have to do a lot of laundry. Every other day. Well I found clothes for all of us 2 outfits for everyday, pair of pj's, some underwear, and some winter clothes. I hope Greg doesn't get made at me. Not to mention I hope I don't spend to much money. Well, here goes...
Clerk: That will be 2,130 dollars.
Jennifer: Ok. I guess that wasn't that bad we still have around 1,000 dollars left over. That should be enough for the bills and the food in the house. When I got home Greg was watching TV.
Jennifer: Hey baby, Im home. I spent around 2,000 dollars today....
Greg: Really. Thats all. Well it wasn't the best but we can manage with 1,870. Oh by the way, I bought a lottery ticket for 10 dollars. Tonight at 11:00 I am going to watch and see if it is a winner.
Jennifer: Greg! HMMM ok. But don't come crying to me if it isn't a winner. News lady: Tonight the lottery is up to 20,000,000 dollars. Here are your lottery numbers.
29-02-19-49 and the power ball is 08.
Greg: AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JENNIFER GET IN HERE!!!! I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT!!!!!!! HURRY!!!!! YYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! [look at her face, she does not look to happy after being woken up]
Jennifer: Greg, hush. Your going to wake Cloe, not to mention the entire universe. Why on earth are you yelling.
By this time Greg is just smiling away as he is getting up from the couch. He got up pulled Jennifer into a romantic kiss. She still didn't know why he was yelling. He was hiding something but what. Greg: Jennifer we won...
Jennifer: Won what, Greg what is going on.
Greg: WE WON THE LOTTERY!!!!! Can you belive it. The numbers she called out were the numbers on my paper.
My eyes grew wide, I couldn't believe it. I jumped into Greg's arms screaming the entire time. The neighbors probably thought something was going on with all the screaming we were doing. To top it off Cloe hadn't even woken up. I went in to check on her. She was still sound a sleep. Boy does she sleep soundly. I was sure she would of been up with all the noise we made. A nice family photo of breakfest time. :-) Greg walked to the SimCity Lawyer's. He talked to a guy there, then talked to the Lawyer. They talked about the winnings and if he wanted it all in one lump some or payed each month. Greg decided to get it all in one lump some. Greg got on the computer filled everything out that needed to be filled out. Brought home copies and also had to bring home some papers to get his wife to sign. And if anything happened to them the money would be left for the child(ren). When Greg got home he handed me the paper work. I read over everything. It was signed then hand delivered to the Lawyer, by Greg. We were so happy and couldn't wait for the check to get here. By 10:00 the phone rang.
Jennifer: Greg can you get that I am helping Cloe in the bathroom.
Greg: Hello, Yes this is the Raposo family. Yes, Yes, Ok, Alright thank you so much. You have just made us so happy. Thank you again. Bye. Jennifer: Who was on the phone baby.
Greg: That was the Lawyer he said that our check is in the mail and we should get it by the time the mail comes today.
Jennifer: Really! Oh my gosh I didn't think it would come so quickly. What are we gonna do once we get it.
Greg: Well, we can buy that house you have been looking at that has been on the market. Get some better toys for Cloe that will help teach her. And maybe get at least two cars for us to drive.
Jennifer: Greg I love you so much.
Greg: I love you to pooh bear.
Cloe: I wove you daddy, I wove you mommy.
Greg and Jennifer: We love you to Cloe. By 3:00 the mail came and Greg found the check. He ran inside and opened the check.
Greg: Jenn, we got the check. We got back 10,000,000. After they took out the taxes.
Jennifer: That is still enough to buy the house and a lot of other things along with saving to put Cloe through school. And with that we packed everything up and moved. We got to our house. It is amazing. I love it. Not only because of the front, but... The backyard is beautiful. We have our own beach. I am so excited. Left to Right: Garage with sauna and massage table, family room with a small reading area, front foyer, computer area, bathroom, hallway leading to the eat in kitchen, and a dinning room. Top portion, left to right: master bedroom with walk-in closet, master bathroom, extra bathroom, guest bedroom, nursery with bathroom. Third floor, 2 guest bedroom with bathroom. Jennifer: Greg, I love you. This house is amazing. We never have to go to the beach at all.
Greg: I love you to baby. We can still go on vacation maybe camping or something. :)
Jennifer: I'd like that a lot. Im sure Cloe would to.
with that we sealed the deal with a kiss. As the days went on and a sunburn from 2 days ago (I tryed to get a tan but it didn't work.) I decided to go out and builed a sandcastle while Cloe decided to eat the sand. EAT THE SAND!!! GREG!!! CLOE ATE THE SAND!!! Whew, that was taking care of. Greg took Cloe inside and gave her a bath and also tryed rinsing her mouth out with all that sand. We layed out on the sand while Cloe was inside sleeping. Night was about to fall soon so we took in the setting sun before heading indoors. Once the sun set and it was getting late Greg decided to take me up to the bedroom. We cuddled and made out for a few minutes. (As you can see my sunburn was pretty bad.) One thing led to another and we ended up under the covers...
The rest as you can say is self explanitory. ;-) Family breakfest time. Don't you just love those times. Here we are again playing with Cloe with her new house that Daddy bought her. She just loves playing with the dolls. That night, I just felt sick. I don't know if it was something I ate or if the sun got to me. but I just couldn't stop throwing up that night. Well, i decided to take out a PT test that I had hidden in the cabinet. It turns out that I am pregnant. A slight tummy on me already. I wonder if Greg will even notice. I walked into Cloe's room were Greg was.
Jennifer: Greg, There is something I have to tell you.
Greg: Don't tell me, Your pregnant.
Jennifer: I'm Pregnant! Wait, how did you know.
Greg: I kinda figured it out when you were throwning up the other night. I knew this wouldn't be a secret. But as you can tell he really wants to have this baby.
Greg: How's my little bundle of joy. Are you ok in there. Is mommy treating you ok.
Jennifer: Greg, hahaha. That tickles. And with that Greg started to tickle me. Can't you tell how much we love each other. Had to put this pic up, Look at his tan. That night when Greg left for work (he is in the law enforcemnet) we celebrated Cloe's b-day. Greg didn't want us to wait for him to get home...
Greg: don't wait celebrate her b-day at the time she was born. Ok. Love you, bye.
So we did. Nothing special just a cake. In which Cloe loved so much she ate it all.
Doesn't my baby girl look so pretty. Here is our little girls new room. She had a fondness with Betty Boop. Luckily we were able to find the room decor. Thank goodness for online shopping. :) sorry, I had to slip into my bathing suit. It was either this or my birthday suit. It is just so darn hot I couldn't stand it. I hate being pregnant in the heat because then I get so uncomfortable and so hot. More so then usual. 11:30 at night a Cloe is sitting watching TV. Well a movie about Fairies, I think. She insisted she wanted to stay up till her dad got home. I told her once he got home and she said goodnight and gave him a kiss she was off to bed. Unless she doesn't fall asleep before he gets home. Dad got home at 2:00, Cloe couldn't stay up. She was fast asleep as dad walked into her bedroom. He leaned in tucked her into bed and gave her a kiss on her cheek. Then left the room silently to go to bed himself. I have nothing better to do. I mean Greg is off at work and Cloe is in school. So I decided to lie out in the sun. I know, I know, sunbathing is not good for me but I love it. Greg had gotten home. He brought home a friend from work. And I had found out while he was talking to my belly that he got promoted to Patrol Officer. If you are thinking 'what if the unthinkable happens.' Don't because you will make me GO CRAZY!! I have thought about that since the day he applied to be a cop. I tell him I love him and give him kisses all the time, because I am afraid he won't come home one night. :( Welcome our newest edition to the family. His name is Cameron. He is so precious and sweet. (sorry for no pics while giving birth. I couldn't get to her in time to get the pics.) You might be able to tell what happened. And you know how you are supposed to wait a few days before whoo-hoo after you have had a baby. Well Greg couldn't really wait. We ended up having whoo-hoo again. I hope I don't become pregnant. But if I do then we will love it just as much. Cloe: Mom, Are you gaining weight? You look bigger then last time.
Jennifer: Whatever do you mean Cloe dear. *as it was said sarcasticly.*
Cloe then looked at me and kept eating. Have I gained weight. Or am I pregnant. I had no signs or symptoms of pregnancy, like I had when Cameron was born. I guess I would have to find out from my trusty PT test I have in the bathroom.
Well I checked. Sure enough it said I was pregnant. What am I going to do. We just had Cameron 2 days ago. *sigh* I guess I will have to tell Greg when he gets home from work then. Jennifer: hey baby. So glad you are home. We need to talk.
Greg: What, Is something wrong. Is CLoe ok, What about Cameron.
Jennifer: No, No there fine. UHHH, UMMM, *sigh* Well I guess I'll just come out and say it. I'm pregnant, again!
Greg: WHA!!! OH MY.... No way. AHHHH!!!! I can't belive it. We are going to have another baby. WOW!!! I love you so much Jennifer. I really do. With all my heart.
Jennifer: SSHHH, don't wake the kids. I love you to Greg, with all my heart.
We kissed and went to sleep that night very happy. Jennifer: AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! OOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!! GREG, THE BABIES ARE COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yup, here we are. I gave birth to 2 beautiful baby girls. I am holding Hannah, and Greg is holding Britney. Aren't they cute. We celebrated Cameron's birthday with all of us. He became such a lovely toddler. And yes, I ended up with another sunburn. I had one good luck with a tan. I guess once is all I need. Oh well. Sunburn's usually turn into tans. :) It was Hannah and Britney's birthday. We celebrated while dad was at work. He is a cop and he does have to help protect our community. Well here is our sweet dear girl Hannah. And this is our other sweet girl Britney. Later that night when the twins and cameron were in bed I got a phone call. It was the police. They told me that Greg had dies in the line of duty. I dropped the phone and cried my eyes out. I had to tell Cloe. I walked into her room, she was up waiting for dad to come home.
Jennifer: Cloe, sweety, *sigh* there is something important I need to tell you about your father. (she just looked at me with this sad expression) I'm so sorry baby girl. Daddy died.
Cloe: What, mom please no. NO!! But why?? Why him why now.
I couldn't answer her. We both cried so hard that night. We fell asleep together. The next day Cloe stayed home from school and I had Greg's body placed in our backyard over looking the sea. Which he loved so much. Cloe and I couldn't help but get mad. We were still trying to think how to handle life without him. Things with the family worked out great. We all still miss Greg very well. But life had to move on. I never remarried. It was to hard on the kids to see mom move on. Cloe turned into the most beautiful teenager. And she is also a model. Not to mention she is fitting all the boys away. ;) Cameron, well he's Cameron. He took after his father. Attitude and all. He will be a teenager in a few more days. :) Then I will have to go through the trouble with him. My twins. Britney on the left and Hannah on the right. They are my sweet angels. I thank god all the time for them. They will never know there dad as much as Cloe and Cameron but I am sure they will be told all the great stories of his life and how he was cop and helped save the community. :) Thank you to all the CC creators. I hope you guys enjoyed my story of the Raposo family. Sorry for it being so long. I just didn't want to make two stories out of it. I hope you guys enjoy it. I enjoyed writing this. :)
Thank you again. XOXO

Thanks, Im glad you like it. This is not my first story. I had another one, which was a series (kinda) called The Evans Family Parts 1-4, and The Bolton Family part 1,2,3. I might continue this once I am out of college, in a few more weeks. *yay, I am finally done with college and will have my associates degree.*
