This chapter is dedicated to Sims forum user Divadoodle for being kind and friendly. This chapter was orignally posted inbetween Chapters 4.3 and 4,4 (to be posted later) and was inspired by an exchange of posts with Divadoodle, shown in a spoiler below.
Opening the spoiler and reading the posts may spoil parts of the story, but I'm putting them here for my own personal reference, seeing as how EA has now decided to get rid of the old Sims forum and the original thread here is likely to go down with the old forum and not be ported over.

So, this chapter is sticking true to the story as it happened, but is sort of a semi-official side chapter. As a warning before reading, this chapter also contains some heavy emotion and profanity and if you think that's gonna trigger you feel free to skip this chapter. That being said, this chapter is one I thoroughly enjoyed making, and I hope you will enjoy it too!
Spoiler for conversation from original thread:
"Once I had a dream... and this is it..."
Its time to turn back time
Follow the pale moonlight...
..and fly to a dream, far across the sea...
Open the chest once more, dark chest of wonders...
......
This night will hurt you like never before...
Old loves, they die hard
Old lies, they die harder...
Its time to turn back time

..and fly to a dream, far across the sea...
Open the chest once more, dark chest of wonders...

This night will hurt you like never before...
Old loves, they die hard
Old lies, they die harder...

God love and rest my soul
With this sundown never ending
The feel is gone yet you ain't gonna see me fail
I am the decadence of your world
I am an eider covered in oil
Happy hunting, you double-faced carnivore
God love and rest my soul
With this sundown never ending
The feel is gone yet you ain't gonna see me fail
I am the decadence of your world

Happy hunting, you double-faced carnivore
Even though it was the night before Leisure Day, Josefine was hard at work doing upgrades on the fire truck.
Josefine was an ambitious woman, and spent a lot of time over at the fire station. Perhaps a little to much...
And Natalie? Oh, she was still over at Bård and Josefines house, and something was in the making...
Natalie was really proud of herself this time, as she left Bård and Josefines bedroom with her head up high...
After having spent most of Leisure Day working overtime, Josefine eventually went home to find an unpleasant surprise. She had been suspecting that something was going on as Bård wasn't as eager in the relationship as he used to be...
And when she walked into the living room to find Natalie there hanging out, her suspicions were confirmed..
And even worse, Bård didn't appear to have any shame at all...
Josefine was naturally furious at Bård and Natalie and didn't hesitate to speak her mind.
She called Natalie all kinds of nasty words...
Josefine: You fucking slutty cunt! What the fuck is wrong with you!? Fucking around just to get a promotion, is that what you're doing!? Get the fuck out of here before I break your fucking face!!
Natalie had no choice after this, but to leave.. even someone like Natalie would have to understand that she had just messed up big time!
And poor Josefine was now left with a broken heart and what appeared to be a completely shattered future... how could they!?
There was only one thing to be done... Revenge.
Josefine: AARRRGGH!!!!
Hell hath no fury...
Josefine: Invoco te, Surtur, Daemon Ignis!
Josefine: Egredere cum nitido gladio tuo, et imple haec tersus ursos Divino Furore tuo! Bård Josdal, Natalie Goth, ne requiescant!
So she picked up the now cursed teddy bear, and put it in front of Bårds bed...
Before she went outside to rest in the sun, waiting until night fell to place the last teddy bear...
She picked it up, and brought it to a house that we may have seen before...
She walked over to glance at the mailbox for a while, still muttering the occasional curse under her breath...
Before she put the bear down by the front door...
At home, Bård had gone to sleep in the extra bed that Josefine now had claimed to be hers, because he still wanted to be near her. He actually had hopes of fixing the relationship, though it was all doomed by now...
He slept well, dreaming sweet dreams of his political career...
..until he was awaken by a ghostly figure standing by his bedside...
Ghostly figure: Wake up, Bård, and stop dreaming... You have just made a grave mistake...
Ghostly figure: Consider yourself lucky you didn't wake up dead... That would be all. For now...
The next day Josefine went to work at the fire station as usual, and was adviced by one of her colleagues that also happened to be a nun, about the only thing to do now.. she had to break up, and move out.
It was going to be tough, but eventually she had settled for a decision. She had to do it, there was no way she could have any kind of future with this man after what had happened...
She was determined and steadfast on her way home, but once she made it inside and saw Bård heading up the staircase, the emotions got the better of her.

It was going to be tough, but eventually she had settled for a decision. She had to do it, there was no way she could have any kind of future with this man after what had happened...
She was determined and steadfast on her way home, but once she made it inside and saw Bård heading up the staircase, the emotions got the better of her.
She found herself unable to do it right of the bat, but after spending the afternoon doing her best to relax and gather strength in the hot tub, she was ready.
This was it. There was no turning back.
"We're through! I'm breaking up!"
The moment was laden with tension, but her voice was clear and to the point.
Bård tried to pretend he had no idea why she would say such a thing, but that only made her more sure about her decision. "We're through, Bård! I'm leaving!"
As Bård walked out of the hallway pretending not to care, she picked up the phone and called her mother, Jacqueline Hammurabi-Josdal. She told her all about the break-up, and that she was coming to stay for a while, until she could get herself sorted out and find a new place to stay. Her bag was already packed...
Her mother Jacqueline lived in this house with her youngest daughter, Ina. Ina, a fresh high school graduate, had recently celebrated her 18th birthday and was now a young adult. She was still living with her mom, but was on the lookout for her own place to stay. Ina would later move in with, and become the girlfriend of Ragnar, the father of Isaac and Aaron.
The next morning, Jacqueline woke up to make breakfast for her daughters, and called them downstairs to eat.
Ina was still very young and hadn't found herself a man yet, but had big thoughts of settling down and getting married one day.
Josefine, that had just suffered a break-up just hours ago, didn't share her sisters thoughts and feelings at all. She thought that she could do with getting away from Lagash for a while to "find herself again" as she called it. It didn't matter where it was, anywhere would do.
Their mother was more caught up with her stylist career. She had always valued beauty and looking good.
--
Bård was still plagued by the ghostly hauntings for a good year or so, never really getting any sleep or much of a peaceful moment.
Consequentially, just like with what happened to Natalie, his work results kept dropping, so he eventually found himself right at the bottom of his political career. Back to square one.
Josefine kept her job at the fire station where she to this day still spends most of her time. She eventually moved in with and married Matias Aske, and they are at present happily married. She made sure to find one with the unflirty personality trait this time, much unlike the flirtatious Bård... (Bård also has the terrible heartbreaker life time wish...)

..
And Bård? Well, he is still polishing the podiums for the other politicians at the Dreamland Parliament Assembly and lives alone in the same house, though he is no longer haunted by the ghost. Eventually he found a new girlfriend in a human called Ann-Karin Michalsen that also works at the fire station.
So there is still hope for a happy ending, just not excactly like everyone had thought at first.. but then again, thats life, isn't it?
