Florence: You would move to Italy?
Beatrice: Well if mother and father arrange a marriage with a man there, that is where I will have to go.
Florence: But...but...what about us?
Tumblr media
Beatrice: You would come with me silly.
Judith: That's a fantasy! Florence, you'll marry whoever your mother arranges you to marry.
Florence: That sounds terrible. Yes, grandfather left us a nice townhouse. But we don't have money and well, with me not having a father and that being well known in Maine society...*shudders*...I cannot imagine who I would be stuck with. Besides men are gross.
Tumblr media
Judith: Don't you just find them handsome though?
Beatrice & Florence: Eww
Judith: You really don't think so?
Beatrice: You haven't grown up with brothers. Trust me, men are gross. Besides, have you seen how my father talks to us? Men are terrible.
Judith: Then why are you so content to marry one?
Beatrice: We're women. That's our place in society. Plus having children will be just lovely.

Bea's birthday went unnoticed in the Dooley household. Clara and Jesse too focused on college coursework, while Lizzie is away at a home for girls in Massachusetts where she will stay for the duration of her pregnancy, the baby being passed on to a loving couple for adoption. Fortunately for her name, Lizzie had just finished her secondary correspondence schooling. Lizzie was a good student, just like Clara and Jesse, and she was all ready for college when she fell "ill". She will not be starting her college courses until her return and the family has let everyone know she is staying with her aunt in Italy before she starts university.
It has been quiet in the house ever since the news broke. Well, almost quiet.
Bea's parents have always had a rocky relationship. She see's her friends parents sharing glances, brushing hands. Mama and Father never did that. They were distant. Yet, now, they were screaming.
It was Bea's birthday and no one said a word about it.
Now Mama and Father were screaming at each other.
Bea was crying in bed when Clara knocked softly on her door.
"Race you to the lighthouse, last one there bakes cookies" Clara uttered softly, before darting down the hallway with a giggle.
Bea didn't beat Clara to the lighthouse, but by the time she had climbed all the stairs she was smiling. Clara hugged her at the top and whispered in her ear, "look at the moon".

Florence: I really like you Bea...
Beatrice: Of course Florence, you're my best friend.
F: No I mean something more...
Tumblr media
B: Florence, you know what people would say?
F: But do you like me that same way?
B: Of course, Florence. From the day I met you in composition class I have been in love with you.
Tumblr media
B: Can I hold you?
F: Oh Bea I've dreamed about it. Ever since that day you sat in front of me and I could smell your perfume. It was mixed with just a little bit of sweat, and old books. You smell like books underneath your jasmine perfume.
B: Is that a compliment?
F: Yes oh yes of course it is!
F: Oh my God is that Mrs. Dumont or Judith coming up the stairs!
Tumblr media
B: Just one more minute in your arms my love.
F: *giggling* I think I love you
Judith: What are you two doing up here? I thought you were changing into your swimming gowns?
B: Sorry Jude we just got caught up talking! We'll be right down to the pool!
J: Well I'm gonna go back to the pool. You know how much I love the water.
Marianne: Florence! Beatrice! Judith! Dinners ready!
F: Well I guess that's it for our alone time...
B: We can see each other between classes tomorrow. And maybe you can take the train to the bay and we can hang out at my house this weekend. Maybe even have a sleepover?
A Big Thank you to @bubblepopsims for the lovely Lister family and @historysims4 for the Dumont family! (Though when I aged up Judith so she could be friends with Bea and Florence...she uh doesn't exactly look like the same sim anymore lol. Her eye and hair color are completely different. I think her nose is the only thing that's the same.

The family's fortune changed the day Agnes Crumplebottom sold George a money fruit. Before long his carefully tended plants were raking in the money and George could see an end to the farm.

Dear Diary,
The house feels so empty since Judith and Florence took the last train back to Britechester. Even more so with Clara and Lizzie gone. Oh I miss Clara so much. She was always so kind to me. Now she's married and already expecting a baby!
Tumblr media
I wonder how long until Lizzie gets the family she dreams of. It really is a pity what that man did to her three years ago...and how Lizzie had to give up her baby. I wonder what that baby's life is like? I hope it's parents love it. Lizzie was never even told if it was a boy or a girl.
Tumblr media
I wonder what life will be like when I am married? I cannot imagine being separated from my dear Florence. I've never felt this way before about anyone. I love her kisses. I love her cuddles. Oh my dear Florence. I have no idea what I would do without her.

Judith: How does it feel having your sisters married?
Florence: Isn't it weird how Lizzie moved all the way to Colorado? I mean who would want to live out west? And with that guy? What is he? 40?
Beatrice: Mister Robles is 38 I believe, and well, Lizzie, you know how she is, always moping around. There wasn't much of a match for her here, so my parents used their connections from growing up in Chestnut Ridge.
Tumblr media
J: And Clara marrying the heir of the Brindleton family! That is shocking. I mean you all are rich, but you're new money, they're old money.
B: Well I think Clara's million dollar inheritance probably sweetened the deal for Stuart's parents.
Tumblr media
F: So Lizzie just dropped out of college? Are there even colleges in Colorado?
B: Well I think Lizzie cares more about having a family and having babies than she did about getting a degree. Plus you don't exactly need a degree to look enticing to a man who is single and thirty eight. Plus...you know...the million dollars and everything...
J: Who will you marry Beatrice? *Judith says teasingly*
B: Oh my parents are already working on it. Apparently the front runner is a vineyard owner in Italy. They know the family through my cousin Pearl that ran away there with her husband.

Like I said, everyone in this house hates each other....even the married couple. This fight started after Edna tried to kiss George. He pushed her away and then this fight started.

Edna and George step into the crowded family room, all five of their children doing various activities in front of them.
"Girls put down your stitching, your mother and I have an announcement"
"I'm not a girl dad."
"That is yet to be ruled out Jesse."
"So what do you have to tell us?" Clara softly asks, unsure as she sees her mother holding her stomach.
Tumblr media
George wraps his arm around Edna's shoulders, "your mother and I are expecting, you are to have another brother or sister."
"How could you do this to me?!" Lizzie shrieks, jumping up. She charges at her parents "WHY? WHY? WHY?"
Edna slaps Lizzie across the face with a resounding sound as all her siblings lower their faces.
Tumblr media
Lizzie cowers as Edna caresses her arm, "oh my baby, I know you're in so much pain. You do not understand Lizzie. We did this for you."
"TO TAUNT ME MOTHER?"
"No, Lizzie, your emotions and your body, it is ready to take care of a baby. This way you will have your baby."
"THIS WON'T BE MY BABY. MY SON IS IN MASSACHUSETTS."
"Lizzie you need to understand. We're doing this for you."

"Clara, oh sister, you should have seen my son..."
"You are never to talk about him again Lizzie!"
Tumblr media
Turning away from the easel, Clara grabs Lizzie by the shoulders as the tears drip down Lizzie's cheeks.
"You went to visit Aunt Anna in Italy. That was all. Think about what would happen to you if Maine society knew what you had done." "I did not have a choice! It was nothing I chose to do. How can you not understand that!"
Tumblr media
"He held me down Clara!"
Whipping back around, glaring harshly, Clara sternly tells Lizzie "you made a choice to stay in town late. You knew you would be left to row the boat home all on your own. You brought shame on us all and if anyone finds out-not a single one of us will be able to marry- let alone marry a husband with means. Now do not ever speak of it again!"

The Dooley family enjoys winter in Brindleton Bay. They love the rural nature of their little homestead and both Edna and George are happy to have left farming behind. Edna is worn ragged by the new births in the family: Beatrice Viola "Bea" and Henry Albert Dooley, born September 13th, 1893 and At midnight on the 1st of January, 1895.

Before long the growing family packed their bags and left Colorado and headed to Maine for George to get his degree and work with college students.
