At home, the young Aaron Goth-Pammy has been brought downstairs by the babysitter and has located the peg toybox, while his mom was over at her boss's house enjoying a drink..
And then it's bedtime for the young one. Sleep tight, nooboo. Your mom obviously does not give two pennies worth..
At 3 in the night, things were getting dramatic once more over at Bårds house. Maybe it's time for you to head out of there, Natalie?
Well, maybe Natalie is learning that it's time to back off just a little as she chose to take a nap on the couch this time.
Or maybe not. It is now Monday morning, and she is still there....
And it turns out the following Monday was leisure day, which means of course, she could spend an entire new day at Bårds house without needing to go to work or go home...
Over the course of the day, the relationship between Natalie and Bård started to go downhill again, as more and more of Natalies evil and inappropriate behavior began to show.
Mismatching personality traits, good and evil. Natalie and Josefine probably won't be the best of friends anytime soon.
It wasn't until 5 AM on Tuesday morning that Natalie decided to leave, for whatever reason. Maybe to go home and get a little sleep before heading off to work. A little late...
Needless to say, Natalie was dead tired when she went to work in the governments building that morning...

Out on the road there are fireflies circling
Deep in the woods, where the lost souls hide
Over the hill there are men returning
Trying to find some peace of mind
Sleep my child
Under the fog there are shadows moving
Don't be afraid, hold my hand
Into the dark there are eyelids closing
Buried alive in the shifting sands
Sleep my child
Speak to me now and the world will crumble
Open a door and the moon will fall
All of your life all your memories
Go to your dreams, forget it all
Sleep my child
After Aarons birth, Natalie had turned the clock around completely, staying awake at night sleeping in daytime and leaving her kids Isaac and Aaron upstairs lonely, hungry and smelly from unchanged diapers... sleeping heavily, not even the phone ringing did wake her up..
..and when she finally woke up, she was not at all happy, cursing at the young Aaron's bed for crying his little lungs out, when the poor baby had seen near total neglect by not being fed, loved, played with or having his diaper changed...
..before favoring Isaac, the older child.
It wasn't before the young Aaron was on the brink of starvation and near dying from loneliness she decided it was his turn to get some attention, just barely avoiding a visit from the social worker..
Children should not be allowed to have children of their own.
Of course, I'm being harsh with Natalie here.. she does take care of her children, but only after letting them suffer a bit first. Maybe it's the evil in her that does it....
And shortly after sunrise, its back to sleep again...
Later when she woke up, Natalie wanted to head out on the town, and decided to go to The Old Weavery, a former rabbit hole rug factory, now a dance club, but the place wasn't excactly crowded and the bartenders were clumsy.... so she ventured on to The 9th Cactus, the disco right across the road, and that seemed to be a much more popular place.
Perfect for a good night out. Never mind the kids, they will be safe at home with the babysitter! I want to party! Woohoo!
There are only two seasons in the old city of Lagash. The dry season and the wet season. And this rainy morning when Natalie was still in bed with a dry cotton mouth after last nights partying out on the town appropriately marked the beginning of the wet season.
Isaacs diaper is smelly and nothing has been cleaned around the house in a good while, but for some reason or other Natalie never grew out of playing with the doll house... is this a home fit to raise children?
Natalie was a little late in realizing there was a package in the mail... from some distant relative it told her... She wouldn't unpack it just yet, instead she decided to keep it to herself and hide it as best as she could... she contemplated getting rid of it, but didn't dare to go there...
And finally near the end of the rainy season, she decided it was time to clean up the kitchen, probably because she realized she had filled up nearly all the available bench space with dirty dishes...
"If I shove this bottle down your throat, maybe that will make you shut up!"
The babysitter (a local human teenager called Trym Hætta) would sometimes neglect the children as well in favor of watching sports on tv, but he wasn't really that bad. He did something the mother never did, which was to carry the young Aaron around. Natalie never once did that. Aaron spent most of his time as a baby lying in his crib, often feeling lonely and only being fed and having his diaper changed when absolutely necessary.
In favor of Natalie, it should be mentioned that after all she did make sure that Isaac both learned to talk, walk and did her best to get his potty training done in time, even though a lot of the time she had the appearance of contemplating something evil down the road.
The weekend when Aaron had his first birthday, she was invited over to a party at Bård Gulkishar-Amdals house. Party was alright and she stayed until it was over where she ended up making out with Bård in front of his partner, Josefine Hammurabi-Josdal, in their bedroom no less. Totally not appropriate. Coincidentally Bård is also her boss at work...
And look who is getting a scolding.
And then Natalie has the nerve to take a nap on their bed! She really is a good one, isn't she?
And helping herself to a late lunch the next afternoon, even. Don't choke on that...
"Urgh.. this dry cotton mouth..."
Making out with Bård again in the kitchen later that afternoon. Still no plans to go home and look after her children! And Aaron's birthday is tomorrow, at this point it wouldn't surprise me if she would miss that as well...
Well, so far the kids are in good hands. Borghild Rydland, another human babysitter is taking care of them, but as good as she is, she is not their mother...
"Oh, that was a good massage, Bård!"
...their mother is busy, perhaps, stealing someone elses partner and finding the kids a new step-father?
Saturday just turned into sunday, the day of Aaron's birthday, and she is still not home. And Josefine is nowhere to be found, I wonder where she went.
Well, speaking of the... there she is. Natalie was upstairs in the kitchen helping herself to a meal, when a dispute was heard in the hallway downstairs.
Josefine:Why is that whore still here? What are you doing!?
Bård: I'm sorry sweetie, I just wanted to know her star sign..
Josefine: Her star sign!? You have no idea how angry I am right now... you can burn in hell, you fucking asshole!
Bård: You have always been my sweet flower, you know that...
Josefine: Get out of here, Natalie! Bård is mine, go home to your kids!
Sunday morning, Aarons birthday, and Natalie is still over at Bårds house being intimate. She hasn't learned a thing!
But things took a turn when she after a while shows her inappropriate side, dishing out offenses.
After which the flirtatious advances from Bård are not well received. Then she tries to kiss him, but he rejects. Did you just destroy it for yourself now, Natalie?
Maybe so, because after this their interactions are no longer romantic. She proceeds to discuss politics with Bård, before taking a nap on his bed once more. She hasn't slept all that much over the weekend and her energy is getting low.
It's pretty bad she hasn't been home since Friday afternoon, leaving Borghild all alone to take care of her kids throughout the weekend.. and with Aaron soon about to age up.
Well, it appears Natalies rude behavior and the political discussion wasn't quite enough to kill off the romantic feelings, because here they are again, kissing each other in the bedroom.
Yeah, as would be expected by now, Natalie is completely missing out on Aaron's first birthday as she is still over at Bårds house napping in his bed by Sunday evening...
...only the babysitter is there with him. Well, until she leaves the room to take care of Isaac downstairs... This is the moment were Aaron was left on the floor to age up to a toddler, all alone in his room.
..and Natalie, having just finished her nap is still over at Bårds house, helping herself to a drink, no intention of going home to her kids! What a great mom..
You were at my door
I heard you knocking but I didn't care at all
I had been in all night just staring at the wall
I didn't really want to see you anymore
Coming from the road
You took your coat off and you threw it on the floor
You said "I can't believe you wanna hurt me so"
I said "I'm not supposed to be like this, you know"
Well, I just had to let you go
What's on your mind?
When you're lost in time
What's on your mind?
Tell me why
Why does it have to be this way?
You were in that dream that I was dreaming
I was dreaming in a dream
Your nylon dress and I was floating back downstream
I wanted love to come and swallow everything
Everything gets real
Sooner or later, doesn't matter how you feel
You slammed that door shut on the night of glass and steel
I cannot blame you for believing what you believe
Well, I just had to let you go
What's on your mind?
When you're lost in time
What's on your mind?
Tell me why
Why does it have to be this way?
This story begins with a burglar outside the small Goth-Asli family's
house. The family at this point consisted only of the mother, Natalie
Goth-Asli and her son, Isaac Goth-Pammy. She had recently split with her
partner and father of Isaac, Ragnar Pammy-Vasquez after both of them
ended up in a heated debate on the sidewalk outside the convenience
store, with the result that neither party were left amused...
And that was only what could be seen with the eyes of the outside world.
Who knows what happened behind the walls of their home. So one night,
she had decided enough was enough, took the kid and left.
Anyway, back to the burglar situation.
Emergency Operator: 311 operator. What is your emergency?
Natalie: There is someone else in the house. There is a burglar. I'm alone with my baby. Please come, quickly!
Emergency Operator: What's your address?
Natalie: Purgamentum road 9. Please hurry!
Emergency Operator: Ok, we'll send an officer over. Just stay with me. Where are you at right now?
Natalie: I'm in the bed room..
A clanking noise is heard through the door.
Natalie: Oh God!
Emergency Operator: Just stay with me. Officer should be there shortly.
Natalie: He's getting away!
Emergency Operator: Ma'am, just stay wi...
*click*
Emergency Operator: Hello?
Natalie ran out into the hallway, but was to late. A few minutes later the sound of a police siren can be heard from outside.
Natalie: I was just ready to fight him! But he got away!
Police officer: You got unlucky, it looks like the burglar stole
your bath tub. Unfortunately he managed to escape, but we will catch him
next time!
Natalie: "We will catch him next time!" Bah, useless good-for-nothing police officer!
The next morning it was off to work as usual. Natalie works at the
Dreamland Parliament Assembly building at the bottom rank of the
political career.
Natalies home is located on the east side off the Corbo Gleb river that
divides the town into two parts (view facing north), next to one of the
poorer areas of town where only humans live. (Purgamentum road 9.)
She had wanted to take a course to improve her skills in charisma, but
figured that now after the burglary she would instead need to spend her
money on buying a new shower to replace the stolen bath tub.
(Only in the sim world will a burglar steal a bath tub...)
The following morning she woke up feeling nauseous from the burglary
that happened just last night, or maybe some other unknown reason.
When she came home from work that day, she wanted to invite Friederich, her grandfather, over for a visit.
Then she had to throw up again..
They understand each other perfectly, since they both share the childish
trait. Yes, that's grandpa over there playing with the doll house...
While he was still there, she found the cause of her nausea as she
became aware that she was pregnant. Though it was not something she had
planned for, she was still happy about the pregnancy. Since she already
had a son, she was wishing it would be a girl this time.
But sometimes her grandfathers childish behaviour could be an annoyance,
so she had learned to counter and deflect his shivering teeth trick...
Natalie: Ha! You didn't get me this time!
Friederich wasn't to happy about that, though..
..and he's actually stupid enough to try the same trick again!
And a third time, and then it actually worked.. and they were both amused.
And then they went for a pillow fight.
And while she was busy playing around with her grandfather, she had
completely ignored Isaac upstairs crying because he was hungry.
---
"Here you go nooboo! Here is your food!"
And after she has fed him, she does what every good mother would do, of
course.. neglects her kid by leaving him in the chair to go to bed..
Looks like grandpa is there still as well.... maybe he will wake up and
take care of the kid..
Nah, grandpa doesn't care, he just leaves... time to go, see you later!
Isaac was literally left in his chair alone all night while mother was sleeping..
Next morning she spent a little time playing with him, before she wanted to head to the spa to get a massage.
Picture: Outside the spa.
And then she spent the rest of the day at home, playing with Isaac's toys and ignoring him until he fell asleep on the floor.
She found that to be very enjoyable, of course.
The following day she went to the bookstore, to buy a book about
pregnancy, which she read inside the spa's reception and waiting room.
Picture: Inside the spa reception. Eva Goth-Asli, her grandmother,
sitting in the sofa to the left. I don't know where the receptionist
went off to...
And so the days went, and approximately 9 months later during the fullmoons phase...
Late one night, she went into labor. The baby was finally coming, and it was time to head to the hospital.
Picture: Natalie entering the hospital. I wish this could have been a
daytime shot, but I can't decide the hour at which babies are born...
The freshly baked mother holding her newborn son at the hospital the
morning after. She got a baby boy and not the girl she had hoped for.
Nonetheless, she decided to name him Aaron, as she felt it was a name
with great strength to it.
As they both proved to be of good health, she was released from the hospital with Aaron later the same evening.
