Chapter 15: The End of Gen One

The final week of Gen One is upon us. Kat's story is closing and Leonidas is taking over.

This update may be a bit longer than normal, just cause I want to finish Kat's story in this last update of Gen One.

Winter has fully came to Sunset Valley, snow covering every surface causing sims to bundle up before heading out of their homes.

The Silver family is enjoying their morning meal together, happy that they all got to share the time this morning.

After breakfast and needs, Kat decided to spend her day off at the Dojo.

She jogged to the Dojo to give her time to think and clear her mind.

Time is passing Kat by so quickly, soon it will be her elder birthday, her eldest are nearly YA and her baby is soon to be a teen. Where had time gone? Had she really spent the better part of her life wrapped up in advancing in her career? No sign of love in her life?

She knew what her heart was telling her, but she wasn't even sure how to go about following her heart. It was too scary. Yes, her, Kat Silver.... Super Spy Kat... was scared.

Did she have the nerve to attempt to follow her heart? Only time would tell, but she knew she'd either have to take the leap or risk spending the rest of her life alone.

It was a pretty chilly morning, but Kat felt refreshed working out in the crisp air. She needed to really get her thoughts together and find her path in life, now that her kids were nearly grown.

Ty came home from school with Catherine and after completing their homework, they spent the afternoon making snowmen and snow angels.

As night came, Catherine suggested they go to the diner for a quick meal since her family were partners there and got to eat for free.

The bully, Lawrence Keaton, from Zeke's birthday just happened to be at the diner. He ended up making a rude remark to Catherine and Ty as they were about to head home.

Ty, sweet, gentle soul that he is just blew it off and started making a snowman, trying to get Catherine to join him to distract her.

Instead, she took the time to let Mr Jerkface know what kind of loser her really was.

Things quickly got physically between the two.

Catherine might have her Mom's temper, but apparently she has yet to master her fighting ability. The  fight did not go so well for Catherine.

Embarrassed, she quickly kissed Ty and headed home. She couldn't believe she got her ass kicked in front of Ty. Ugh.

That night, Zeke had his badging ceremony and the whole family got to go. Zeke showed off to his Mom then everyone headed home and went to bed.

Tuesday passed as any other day - for the most part. The family didn't get to have breakfast together, as everyone was running a bit behind that morning.

As soon as the kids were done eating, it was time to get on the bus for school. Kat barely  had time to eat her breakfast before she was rushing out the door to head to work.

Madison had the day off and spent her day painting.

After work, Kat had hoped the days of rummaging through bins was behind her, but she found herself needing to complete a report, which entailed a dig in a bin for some much needed info.

After a quick shower, she gathered the family for a night of dinner at the Diner. Since they didn't get to have breakfast together, Kat wanted to treat the family to a night out.

While the family was inside enjoying dinner, Marlene Langerak and Salvatore Goth were having a spat. He slapped the snot out of her right in front of everyone!

Marlene got upset, but did try to have a civil conversation with him. After several failed attempts and him yawning in her face, she had enough civility... 

And jumped on him! She ended up winning the fight... I really wish I knew why these two were at each other's throats.

Even Kat felt bad for Salvatore.

Wednesday passed as any other day, the family had breakfast together, went to work and school, came home and took care of needs and homework.

Snowflake day, Thursday, Leonidas took Zeke and Catherine to the festival while Kat and Madison stayed home.

The kids took some time to enjoy the snowboarding.

Meanwhile, at home, Kat was doing having the conversation with Madison she both feared and looked forward to since they kissed at the Spring Festival.

Kat told Madison she was in love with her and that it had always been her, since the moment they met.

Madison leaned in closely and whispered to Kat that she felt exactly the same but was scared of what that meant and how they'd make a life together. Madison was exceptionally worried that they children wouldn't understand.

They agreed to wait until after Zeke's teen birthday and the twins Young Adult birthdays to break the news to them. 

Madison kissed Kat before either could change their minds, and then they headed to the festival to be with the kids.

The family started a snowball fight, the kids having no idea that Kat was probably the happiest she's ever been. Her children were growing up, they were happy, well adjusted children, the teens with love interests of their own. She prayed they wouldn't take until nearly elderhood before finding love, like she and Madison did.

That day was Zeke's teen birthday, so Kat threw him a party at the Karaoke club. 

She invited Matthew, but he was being exceptionally jerkfaced. He never even came inside to celebrate his sons birthday, instead stayed outside and argued with everyone.

Zeke's teen birthday turned out much better than his childhood birthday, Kat was pretty proud. Her heart broke a little, thinking that Zeke was going to have to leave all his friends behind when they moved to Lucky Palm, but she refused to live in a town hundreds of miles from her children and Leonidas and Catherine made it clear they were moving once their Young Adult birthdays came.

Zeke as a teen.

Friday was the teens Young Adult birthday and Madison's Elder birthday. Zeke woke up earlier than the rest of the family and already had breakfast, leaving Kat some special private time during breakfast with the twins to discuss their upcoming move.

Leonidas told her that the Duncan family would be moving to Lucky Palms, too, since Audrey had a job offer there.

Kat would be retiring as soon as she was an elder, so she planned to just transfer to Lucky Palm for desk duty. Her Spy days were behind her.

Everyone left for work and school, and the unthinkable happened. Loki was just a couple days past his lifespan. I completely wasn't ready for him to go. :*( 

Kat was the first one home and didn't take the news so well, either.

First they celebrated Madison's birthday.

Then came Leonidas

Lastly was Catherine.

Once the birthday's were out of the way, the family packed up their belongings and left behind the home they'd known for years to start over in Lucky Palm.

***This is officially the end of Generation One. The family has moved to Lucky Palm. Kat and Madison's story is not completely over, just yet... we do wrap it up completely in the beginning of the first Part of Gen Two, as well as Catherine's story. I'm sure the family will make appearances in Leonidas' story, but we will focus solely on him and his journey for Generation Two.
