Moving on Up, part 2

Things were doing well, Jerry had a boyfriend, her daughter was doing super great, especially in school.  Things were just so peachy.

Exercising was alot of fun too. As Isaac, thinks, "umhum what a nice view".  They seem'd so well together, even if it was the view.

Still Jerry loved performing.

She perfomed in the park, she had a weekly gig there now.  She just loved how the audiance, applauded, and was always full for her.  She was a bit unsure about all that was going on in her life, but she was pleased, that she was riseing in fame.

But during this perticular perfomance,it was a sad night as a friend who came to watch

passed away.  Most wondered over to see this event, rather than stay and watch her performance.  Sadly though she was out of sorts, and did a very bad performance that night.  As she ran for the house, to get away from what she felt was an awful night.  She thought, "will this be my luck from now on? "

The review for the performance: Wha a set up, With that voice, and passionate performance, this is easily one of the best performances I've seen in recent memory."  She did not hear this, she was upset as she was running to get away, away from the death, away from what she thought was an awful performance.

Days went passed,  Her daughter tells her she wants to be an Acrobat, Jerry was thrilled, but a bit worried, for she had seen them have accidents well performing.  She prayed that this would not happen to her daughter.

Brianna was so into her exercising, that she took to bull riding.  Halariously, the watcher nearly fell our of her chair laughing.

As Bri, not only rode that bull but rode it 3 times, and one of those times was tossed so far into the air, that she landed on its butt.  Now thats bull riding.

Jerry of course had another gig soon, this time it was at the coffee house.

Before she performed though she warmed up with a bit of off stage singing.  then she sold a few records.  She was thrilled that some knew her and wanted the record, others kinda did, and some out and out told her to stuff it.

It was about this time, she got a call from the cops, that her alarm went off.  But they did not get there in time.  A burgler, had stollen their tub.  Money was tight and getting that tub back, ment alot more of hanging out and singing for her supper.  This was upsettig, along with all that had happened that week, Jerry was not top notch.

And her performance suffered only this time really badly.

Though she wanted to spend the weekend with her boyfriend, and daughter.  She tuned out any offers, and spent time with the family.

It was a very pleasant weekend, as Isaac, decided to purpose.

She was so thrilled, jumping into his arms as she said yes.  Then worrying about how married life would effect her gigs.  Still she was on top of the world.

She went to watch a show down at the Rocking what ever, got talked inot doing the disappearing act, but then the girl ran out of time.  Thankfully she left the stage, thinking , "I was worried, there for a sec."  Then it was her turn to perform on that same stage.

But before she did she remember to call Bri and remind her prom was tonight to get ready and have alot of fun.

Bri told her, "MOM, I am already ready.  Outside the school, too."  Guess she was anxious to go to the prom, so her mom tells her, "Hun just have a great time."

Wasn't much later that the prom started and Bri headed into the school  She was made prom queen that night, but she did not find love, or a boy friend.  She did laugh at some that were dancing.

It was a great night, the winner of the show was called up.  Jerry was in tears, as she heard her name called.

then rushed up.  She was first place and the winner of the show.

She was on stage crying.  As she received her first ever reward.

Proudly she displayed her trophy for all to see.  Even Isaac ran to see it, clapping and giggling like a school boy.

Jerry was finally accepted for a tour, haveing took the time, and prepared, she headed out.  She held a grand performance, and the show was wicked.  She got her first ever, tour stamp that week.  All in all getting engaged, haveing won a trophy, and her daughter haveing a great time at the dance.  Put her on a high she felt she would never come down from.

We sponsored a sim that week, at the park.  She came from out of town.  It was one fabulous performance, with everyone cheering, laughing, and clapping.  I saw more things being tossed at the sim, than i had even myself.

I wanted a party, a bachlorette party.  So had one.  The cowboys were called in by my friends.  in case you wonder about the weird coloring, its the black lights.  They were alot of fun, talked with alot, danced, even ate there.

Now Jerry's response:

"UMmmmmm, you smell really good" jerry smirked as she realized this would be the last time she could get away with something like this.  (note: this was a totaly off the wall occurance, not planned, just out of the blue, and there it was i was lucky to get the snapshot. lol.)

Isaac's brother fell asleep on the floor.  A few others did too.  But as the night wound down, the party an epic hit, and the guests filed out the door at 7:33 monday morning.

Isaac, could wait no more.

Isaac married Jerry in a private ceremony in their backyard.  His greatest wish and 3 times he got the wish to marry.  So they did.

As that ring slipped on my finger, i looked at my new husband, and wondered how he would feel that I was pregnate, that one night in the shower, that one time we used no protection.  I also worried, "what will a baby do to my career."  But for the moment i was thrilled, in 7th heaven, with a man that loved me and my daughter, with a new life in this wonderful town, though we now had been here several years.  It was wonderful, yet scarry."

Jerry took Isaac's last name, and is now known as Mrs Luck.  OK so its not the perfect last name, but then what is.

I had gone to do a demo, and right after, is when the reality set in.  I was diffinetly pregnate.  Fears and worries came crashing in, as I knew a baby could put a crunch in my style.  I rushed home to tell Isaac.

As i told him, I felt those prickly little fears.  Like the ones when my parents learned of Bri all that time ago. Isaac surprised me , with, "o hun, I am so happy, This baby is a blessing in disguise," he says.  I though was not so certain.

We leave you watching the invisible magaician, wondering how a baby will fit into their busy schedules, and what will become of Jerry's singing career now.  Come again and check out the life of Jerry, her family, and her singing career.  Let me know what you think as well, all is enjoyed, and all is taken into consideration.



Moving on Up!

Only time would tell, for Jerry.  For her past had not been great, her parents heckled her at all turns.  You see Jerry got pregnate in highschool.  They did not approve, when the baby came, they made her do most of the takeing care of it, refusing to help at all turns.  Telling her she had done this, she needed to learn. 

When her daughter was a child, her parents were killed in a car accident.  She of course now a young adult, not knowing exactly what she wanted, till that awful day.  She sold the house, she had lived in all her life, took the money and moved to Starlight Shores.  She heard it was full of hollywood types.  She wanted to sing, to be a legend in her time.  But could she, with a daughter, no dad, no man in her life.

you see her boyfriend, when he found out she was pregnate abandoned her, calling her a slut.  It was only a one night stand, it devastated her, and with her parents disapproval, it took her down even more.

The house was not much, but it was good enough for her and her daughter.  A new start, in a new town.   She had even got lucky and signed with a singing group.  Now maybe she could make it, maybe she could see her dreams come true.

Hi I am Jerry Lee, I had a rough life, and I have a beautiful daughter.  Though I am now in a new town, I worry.  Mostly about money, for what was left over after buying our little home was not alot, and I do have a child to support.  I am leary, leary of life, leary of men, and leary of being able to take care of my daughter.  Will i succeed, or will I fall flat on my face, a laughing stock of simhollywood?

My daughter is beautiful, i guess she gets that from her father.

She certainly looks more like him than me.  That hair is a dead giveaway, yet she carries  my eyes.  Shes the perfect child, haveing had to grow up, with my parents always yelling at me and condeming, my one mistake.  I do hope that this new life, brings new life into her.

Though I found that I can sing, I am afraid of failure.  Failure is something my parents threw at me every chance they got.   I started out singing telegrams. Birthdays, love, growing up, you name i was sent all over town, to sing these telegrams for others.  When finally one day, I got to actually sing a little bit.

Our first day at the house, we found time to have a breakfast together.  Not a lot, but it was to be Brianna's first day at school, and my first real day at work.  We talked about the move, and we taked about my parents, her grandparents. "Mom", brianna says, "its ok, I know granny and grappy were not nice, but its ok.  We now live here, no one will tell you  again that you were bad.  I am excited, to meet new friends, at school, it will be great."   "Oh hunny, your such a darling, I love you so much, I am just worried is all," I reply.

  Shortly after that little talk, Bri, runs off to catch the buss.  I watch, with worry.  Will she be ok, will she find friends.  I know not haveing a father, makes others make fun of you.  Please sim watcher, let her be ok, I think this as i watch my lovely daughter head off to school.

Time kinda flew I had to get ready, and get to a few appointments.

Breanna came after school, to where i was doing my little digs at.  It was a surprise to see her.  I watched her, as i finished my song.  "Mom", yells Brianna, "I had to come, I got accepted into Ballet, and I could not wait for you to get home."  "oh, Bri", I say, "thats great, but its late, lets go grab a bite to eat and then head home."  "Sure mom, I would love to", she replys.    As we head off to the coffee house to grab a bite and head home after.

It seem'd like days and days, or months and months.  Finally I got my first gig.  I got to sing, at the park.  It was a thrill, my nerves tingling the whole time, my blood rushing to my face.  It was my lucky night, for i was apprased at being great. 

It was a beginning, though we still barely got by, on my measly 300 a week.  But it was a start.

I knew I was fair, but how fair, I was unsure.  I loved doing Karaoke, from the time i was little.  So I just had to go down, and try it out.  I was heckled and boo'd by a few, but others clapped, and cheered, a few even danced.
    It was nice to hear good, instead of all that your not good enough stuff, from my parents.  A blessing in disguise when they died, in that carwreck.  Sure I loved them, still do, i was just so hurt by their non careing, their telling me how bad i was.

Bri wanted a over night party.  At 10 I sent them all to sleep, she had a pretty good one too.  One kid left going home, saying this is boreing.  The others hung out, and they all slept in the yard.  I was so happy to see her with friends and haveing a blast.  Some of my fears were evaporateing with that night.  Most of the kids left early next morning, it was a school day after all.  Bri was thrilled, she had so much fun that she just wanted to be one of the Rich and Famous.

I had to laugh, a little, it was cute.  But I would never laugh at her.  She had enough of that from my parents. 
   The weekend came and Bri and I found a little time to ourselves.

We played a game of Domino's.  It was fun, though I won, Bri was just thrilled we could play a game together.  She was hooked though, wanting to play everytime she turned around.  Well thats alot better than wanting to run and hide.  Which she had done to many times in the past.  This was great for both of us, a little time together, and some fun to boot.

I had met a few good men, but alot of nasty buggers too.  One I met he was a vampire, i was scared, but enthralled all at the same time.

Though finally I got up some courage, inviting him over.  Isaac, was the sweetest person I had ever met.  Being a vampire, did not make him any less a person.  I think it made him more of one.  Though I feared, We talked along long time.  I wanted to kiss him so bad, but i was afraid, he would call me names, like my x, and my parents.

Time went by, with only talking, we had not even done a date.  But we were fast becomeing great friends.

Issac, came over one day.  We talked more, but this time, he leaned in and kissed me.  I was so taken back I just stood there.  Funny part about it, I liked it.  A few weeks went by, and finally I asked Issac, if he wanted to move it.  he loved the idea, and moved in right away.  He said he just wanted to be near me.  He loved my little girl too.  Something I never expected from one that was not her father.

"Jerry", Isaac says, "I enjoy your company alot, I love being around you, I love your singing, your beauty, your personality". I blush, as I look towards him, hopeing beyound all hope that this was not a ruse.  "I want us to be more than friends", Isaac says.  "I ", stammer,"well we can try the boyfriend, girlfriend." i reply.  "Whats wrong" he asks? 

   It was on that night I told him my life story, all the good and bad of it.  It was on that night, I learned that not all men were alike.  He still wanted me, he still loved me, and he wanted my daughter too.

I guess you can say life is full of surprises.  Once your out from under the bad ones, good ones can roll your way.  It was that night that brought my dreams closer to a reality.



It was on this night that he showed, he loved me more than anything else.  He tossed his vampirism out the window.  He said, "I love you so much, that I will take away the fear of my wanting to turn you.  I will make sure that our love is love because of the Humaness, not because you feel that I made you love me through hypnotism.

I was so surprised, and yet so thrilled.  He would do this for me.  I had no words, but my heart swelled with a feeling I thought I would never feel again.

Days went by, we had saved up some money, and had this spa put in.  It was great, Isaac, was like, "Well hun, lets give that spa a whirle". 

As we both jumped in, he turned to me, and said, This is the life.

Even singers cook. Yes thats me, cooking up some supper for my group of family.  I just loved showing how much i care.

We started doing lots of things together.  Family outings, dinners, and just plain ole fun.  Work took alot out of both of us, for Isaac worked late afternoons to mid nights, he was trying for rock star.  He could play one mean guitar.

My gigs, and grams took alot out of me, going all over, to deliver singing grams. Or showing up for a gig, either late at night or mid afternoon.  But we found a little alone time, most of the time, we found we could enjoy each other, even if we worked hard.

Well we waited for Isaac to get here after work, Bri and I sang some Karaoke.  It was halarious.  She kinda squeeked her way thru it.  Then says, "are you sure those are the right words."

When Isaac showed up, we sang a duet.  I nearly laughed as we were singing. He has one bad voice, voice lessons anyone.  But it was a great night.

the video is to show how awful that singing was.  But it kinda tosses in a bit of spice.

Time had flown by, it seem'd like only yesterday we had moved into the little house.  Now my little girl is no little girl anymore.  Shes a teen ager, with harmones, and issues.  But shes still gonna be my little girl to me.

I leave you all now, with what might happen.  Who knows.  I and Isaac, are still just boyfriend/girlfriend.  Maybe someday that will change. 

Do return for more, let me know what you think.
