Hello guys!

This story is a gift for TheUltimateGamer19 who makes Let's plays about the Sims 2 and he makes a serie about a family called Anderson and it is really awesome ! TUG19 made me love Sims 2 again and since his series is so great, I wanted to make something about it !

I decided to divided this story into small chapters, for comfort for your eyes, instead of a huge One-Shot full of dialogues.

English is not my first language, I am French.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sims 2, I do not own the Anderson family which belongs to TUG19, it is a fanmade.

Mourning

Chapter 2: Melissa and Scott

After a long day of work, Melissa Anderson, the eldest of the Anderson siblings, was relaxing, watching TV while her husband played with the puppies they got from Arianna, Melissa's younger sister. The phone rang, Scott took it.

' Scott Anderson speaking. '

' Hello Uncle Scott, it's Lore. '

' Oh! What a nice surprise! Melissa! It's Lore! '

Melissa came and her husband shared the phone so that both of them would hear their niece.

' I'm sorry to bother you, it's quite late, but it is important... Dad is dead. '

A moment of blank came into their minds. Josh dead? He was younger than them!

' He was playing with his train but it caught on fire. Mom tried to save him but she began to burn as well. I managed to call the firefighters, but by the time they came home, Mom and Dad were no more. I managed to save Mom from the Grim Reaper but... It was too late for Dad... '

Melissa sighed and smiled, she was sure her niece could feel it through the phone.

' You are a true Anderson my dear. We, Anderson women, have a skill. We can save our relatives from Death. I managed to save your Uncle Scott in Takemizu Village. Your aunt Samantha saved her husband twice. Your father is certainly very proud of you. You acted with intelligence and courage. Without you, it could have been even worse. Do not be too hard on yourself. '

' Thanks, Aunt Melissa. '

' If you need anything, you know where to call. ' Scott added

' Thanks, Uncle Scott. '

The conversation ended. Melissa began to cry in her husband's arms. She tried to remain strong for Lore, but she needed to let her pain go.

' I remember the day Josh came into this world. He was so tiny! I remember him when he began to walk, when he began to speak, his first day at school... And now, he's dead... My little brother is dead... '

Scott held her close, stroking her hair.

' If I only could swap our places... A big sister's duty is to protect her younger siblings... '

' He died happy. He told us that his life could not be better. That is a small consolation. '

Melissa nodded. Josh's death was tragic but he lived a happy life and realized all of his dreams.
