A/N: Hello people! Well this is a birthday fic for EWHIES for today is her birthday! Did you know that I never knew was a Sims archive? Some fan I am…Okay so this is a fic about the O'Mackey family most prominently Alexandra and Gabe. In my game Alexandra moved to Riverblossom Hills Bluewater Village and met and later married Malcolm Landgraab so far she has 6 kids all boys which is frustrating me to no end…and Gabe is either married or engaged to Patricia Wan and he's a high school teacher and Jules is at college. This is an e-mail from Gabe to Alexandra. Enjoy!

I came, I saw, I conquered-Julius Caesar.

Dear Alexandra,

How are you? Okay that was lame...Starting over. Please disregard that last line.

It's been awhile since I last heard from you.

I hear that you are living large now and married to Malcolm Landgraab no less! Well maybe that was not so surprising after all you always aimed high.

I suppose that I should get to the point of this e-mail. You see today in class I was reading to the kids about famous Roman figures in history. We came upon Julius Caesar's chapter and at the very top of page was his famous quote.

Surely you know the one? "I came, I saw, I conquered." Funnily enough it got me thinking about you…Confused? I thought you might be. Allow me to explain.

You came into my life like a ray of sunshine with your fiery red hair and blue, blue eyes. Your looks were only a small part of why I fell for you, you were always so much more brave then me…and more adventurous.

Your passions and zeal for new things, new beginnings always impressed and inspired me. My life was so dull before you came.

You made me see that life was so much more than what I had originally perceived. I thank you for that.

Now for the second part of the quote "I saw" Oh Alexandra you did see, far further and deeper than anybody ever cared to do. You saw past the quiet and calm demeanor and the wall I'd so carefully constructed.

You saw my hope and fears, my deepest wishes and darkest desires. You saw ever little quirk, fault, and failure that I had even committed or had.

Yet…you still married me. Again I thank you for giving me a chance and making my life a happy time when we together.

But you got bored. Maybe I didn't challenge you enough…maybe you wanted more, more of what I don't and may not ever know. You felt held down, cooped up, no purpose.

I thought that maybe Jules's birth may have convinced you to stay. Unfortunately I wasn't that lucky…or you weren't that patience. But no a person with as much life, passion, and zeal couldn't have stayed with me that long.

Plus you were young and apparently not that much in love. I didn't want to let you go but you had dreams and wants.

Things that you wanted to accomplish before you "settled down."

I had to respect that and let the little red bird fly free from the nest.

You had already completed what needed to do with me.

Now this is where you conquered. You took me over, subdued me even more and I didn't even notice.

Or I didn't care.

Alexandra you may not have noticed it but you gave me a sort of purpose.

You gave me our darling Jules, who grows more like you every day and is already away at college. I am so proud of her and maybe you are to. At least I've always told her so. So my dear Alexandra you came into my life.

You saw into me and you conquered and left just as quickly.

You conquered

Conquered.

My heart.

Love,

Gabe.

A/N: Well that's it, I hope you and the special birthday girl loves/likes it. Review and show the love.

Sassmaster over and out!
