Author's Note: This story is what I actually did in my Pleasantview town. It's somewhat like a soap opera (or perhaps a parody of one), which is why the chapters are referred to as "seasons."

Season One - Egg

Bella was a romance Sim with a secondary aspiration of grilled cheese. She woohoo'd with many Sims. One, however, stuck in her mind. This Sim was named Kaylynn Langerak, and she really didn't have any reason to stand out. The only other Sim whose name Bella could even remember was Lilith Pleasant, and Lilith had been her "first." Even more troubling about Kaylynn, however, was that she was a family Sim. She wasn't clingy like most of the family Sims who Bella had dated, but she could tell.

After a while, Bella and Lilith graduated college. While Lilith had her suspicions that she was not the "only one," they had remained together. Bella didn't see any reason to end it if Lilith didn't, and while it felt lonely knowing that Bella didn't return her feelings, Lilith couldn't quite bring herself to end it either. More friends with benefits than anything else, the two girls decided to be roommates after their graduation, neither having enough funds to live alone but also not wanting to move back in with their families.

Lilith watched as Bella went through girl after girl and grilled cheese after grilled cheese, not understanding why she wasn't enough. Was she afraid of commitment, getting too close? Trying to replace something? Did she simply not care for other people? After seeing the woman with her spectral cat, Lilith suddenly felt she understood. Bella was afraid of getting too attached and getting hurt.

Kaylynn, meanwhile, continued to pursue Bella. Somehow oblivious to the multitude of other relationships her love had (hint: it was over thirty) or the not so innocent truth to she and Lilith's relationship, she eventually decided to propose.

Bella wasn't sure if she could change her ways and be faithful to Kaylynn. Still, she had grown fairly fond of her, and she knew rejecting her proposal meant never seeing her again. Therefore, she accepted. Shortly before they were to be wed, though, Kaylynn found out about Bella's affair when an old flame, not knowing any better, began to flirt with her. She tried at first not to let on that she had seen this, but when it came time for the wedding, she just couldn't do it. She left Bella at the altar.

Her heart now broken, Bella started flirting around even more, and eating even more grilled cheese. She would never make the mistake of "falling in love" again, she told herself.

Not long after that, she began to feel ill. At first she thought it was too much grilled cheese, but when a disproportionate amount of weight was shifting to her belly, she realized it was no grilled cheese. She was pregnant with Kaylynn's baby. What was she supposed to do with a baby?

This was where Lilith stepped in. She couldn't just leave Bella to struggle. Neither of them wanted to see Kaylynn again, after the way she had left Bella, and it was doubtful that she would take on the parenting role even if she knew. Lilith took that role willingly, all the while trying to pretend she wasn't in love with Bella.

Bella had to cut down on her sandwiches. It wasn't good for the baby. She also had to stop flirting – or, rather, very few women were receptive to the advances of a pregnant woman. At first she resented this, but over time, she found that she was enjoying being with just Lilith. Part of her felt nervous at this. The two of them were becoming far closer than she had ever been with anyone, and she wasn't sure how she felt about that. But Lilith was always there for her, and it was hard to come up with any reason not to trust her. Slowly, Bella found herself willing to commit to a single relationship.

When Lilith got them a pet dog, she began to feel like they were all a little family. She had no idea that would mean so much to her. This change did not go unnoticed by Lilith, who was very happy not only because for once it seemed that Bella honestly loved her, but more importantly because finally, Bella seemed to be honestly happy. For that reason, although she was surprised, she was not shocked when Bella proposed. Of course she accepted. They got had a private wedding not long after, a little bit rushed as they wanted to be wed before the baby was born.

Soon, Bella had a healthy baby boy named Kyle.
