Darker Shades of Life *chap 5 out*

[Kate]

Wow... that update really had me involved! Each time I had to click onto the next page I found myself mentally telling my computer to hurry up!

Oh my... how strange! I couldn't believe it when Dr. Jones dropped the bomb-shell to Sarah about her being pregnant! I did not see that coming!

:update:

[arinthea]

Thanx Kate. Hee hee yeah the twists keep coming. Things are starting to get interesting again, can't wait for season's, then I can continue on with both my stories.

I'm glad your enjoying it, this is my first real story so I still a newbie at this. But I think I'm kinda getting better at it as I go along. But boy does it take a lot of planning :phew:

[Kate]

Mm hmm, can totally agree with you there!

Before I started my legacy I tried my hand at writing a story - it's called "Dirty Little Secret" if you want to read it in the archives - but I simply couldn't keep it up for that long as school was getting in the way and I found that I just didn't have the time to sit down and write for it.

A legacy is quite easy as it doesn't take me too long and the captions just come to me, whereas you've got to think deeply about a story.

But if it's your first attempt, I'm really impressed! I love the way you go into so much depth; I love a bit of description, me.

Thanx Kate
Ok, so I've been getting a lot of questions thru comments, e-mail and so forth about this story. There seems to be a lot of confusion by some as to what may be going on. Since it takes me so long to update (due to a lot of work and not enough time) maybe some are forgetting whats happened in the beginning, like small details here and there. So here's some things I'd like to point out

Firstly:
Who is Dr Jones? Through Wendy's pregnancy, she was the doctor Wendy was seeing back in Castalino. Then we see a blonde woman when Wendy wakes up in the dingy room with Richard, could the doctor that came to see Sarah (who is also a Dr Jones) be the same woman that we saw then??

Secondly:
Who could actually be in those pictures at James house? Is it Wendy? Or Sarah? Or photoshop?

Thirdly:
What role does Richard play in this whole affair? He proposes meer months after meeting her. Did he initiate the meeting? Why did he suddenly have a cold shoulder to Wendy after the honeymoom? What role does he have in whats happening to Wendy now?

Fourthly:
What role does Samantha Edwards play in all this? She had an affair with Richard. She also called Wendy the night she was pushed down the stairs. Was it a ploy? And what about that other mysterious call Wendy had that day?

Fifth:
Who is James? Is he fulfilling the same role Richard once had? Why does he act so guilty?

Lastly:
Almost all characters in this story have a purpose, so don't forget about Wendy's parents, why did Wendy's dad never questions what had happened with her and Richard? Why wasn't he outraged at Richards treatment of Wendy? . What is so special about Wendy that her lifes been turned upside down??

These are just things to think about in the story, they hold all the answers as to whats been going on. Thought this might help in you guys not being so confused as to what might be happening. I have a few glitches in my game due to the new ep, so I'm just sorting things out with that (using my legacy to find the glitches), once thats sorted then I'll do the next chapter.

Till then, happy simming all and thanx again for all your great comments.

Hi guys, been a bit scarce lately :alien:
Just been a bit buys and my computer died a horrible death on Friday night. We only managed to sort out the problem on Monday morning, so alas I spent the weekend computerless :doh:

Anyway, it did give me some time to work on other things. As well as start thinking about the next few chapters. Well as soon as my computer was up and running again, I really wanted to do an update on this story. So I present to you Chapter 5:

I think its taken me way to long to do an update on this story, so I thought that I'd try to do 2 updates on the legacy and then an update on this story. Well I hope to :scratchchin:

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. Thought I'd leave this one with a little suspence :bouncy:

[Kate]

I'm glad you managed to get your computer sorted, at least you weren't without it for longer than a weekend!

All I can say on the update note is: I hope she gets to the gun!!!

Loved the update, am very much in suspense here! Don't know if I'll be able to wait until after you update your Legacy... eeek!

:update:
