Jordan Talia Montgomery: Generation 3 Chapter 1

In the last chapter we saw the life of Elena and Edwin pass us by rapidly. These two  seized life, flew through promotions and have been busy raising their daughter Jordan and their son, Ezra.

Unfortunately I got so caught up in playing Jordan as a child that I forgot to take many pictures to update on the humdrum daily of life for Elena and Edwin

Be sure to catch up before jumping right into generation three!

 

Life is continuing for the Montgomery Family. Jordan Talia is nearly an adult and still has  no romantic love interests. She's been promoted to a assistant nurse and is putting in a lot of extra hours.  She has had a very loving relationship with both of her parents so it hurts a little that she was passed out from exhaustion when dear old dad's time came to an end.  Even worst, little Ezra is not yet a teen and already losing his dad—his mom is getting on up in years as well.

Bills are rather pricey these days (nearly §8000 every Monday) but luckily the family's pretty set thanks to Grandma Ember and mama Elena's hard work and dedication.  There's enough funds in the bank that the family won't struggle as they transition into this new stage of life.

Elena was just crushed when she lost Edwin. I feel like I just didn't have enough time with them. Things were SO easy for this generation that it just flew by. As I said, I didn't even get many pictures of Jordan's childhood because things just moved so fast.

Nevertheless, Elena's grief just made me sad...I know, it's just a  game but I felt her despair.

Time for Elena was quickly wrapping up too and Jordan was almost an adult and still didn't have a single love interest.  Suddenly, losing her dad made her really long to find a husband before she lost her mom to old age as well. 

So, out Jordan hit the town and it wasn't long that she met this hottie named Ricky Vinson.  They really connected and it wasn't long before they were really good friends. When it came to romance though, he was so extremely stubborn. I would have them flirt and he would get upset. Jordan was getting older though and determined to snag her soulmate before dear old mom met her maker (psst! I don't actually meet my sims when they die but if it ever happens? I'll let you know) 

 Try as I might to get them to fall in love it just didn't happen...at least not in time for dear Elena to see her daughter happily married.   At least Jordan was able to properly mourn the loss of her mother though. She was dead tired from a busy day at work but at least she didn't faceplant during such an important life event.

 

Speaking of that busy day at work?   Well, it might have involved an unnecessary surgery on this freaky looking dude that looks like a clown and yes...it cost her a promotion.  What a terrible day altogether. 

Moving along now...

Elena lies cold in her grave and Jordan is determined that Ricky Vinson will be hers—regardless.   A friend of mine, the Almighty Ruler of Everything (AKA Fizzy) suggested that maybe Jordan wasn't the right gender for Ricky but by golly...Jordan needs a man and a man she will have!  She wants Ricky and it is Ricky she will have! 

So, she totally abused their friendship and asked him to move in. He readily agreed to this arrangement and the minute he moved in, I pulled my god-like powers of persuasion on him.

In other words? I sent them both to watch the romance channel and then I forced him to flirt with her.  A couple flirty interactions later and Jordan and Ricky were having their first kiss. The Maker always gets what she wants. ALWAYS.

Things moved to the bedroom where they had their first woohoo. Jordan ran to the bathroom and took a pregnancy test because her biological clock is tickin' and bam...bun in the oven!  She ran back to the bedroom and announced that they were going to be parents. Knocked up—he is hers now. He doesn't have a job and can't afford child support so he is stuck! This hottie isn't getting away. Nope! She proposed to a half naked Ricky right then and there! 

 

Half naked Ricky was so excited that he accepted the proposal and they eloped. Whatever was he waiting for? Why wait now? Who needs clothes to get married? Besides, have you seen those abs? I feel like taking a page out of Fizzy's book and giving him some ridiculous nickname like "Man Candy" or "Mr. Washboard Abs"

Jordan is entirely too driven to consider a honeymoon.  The day after these two eloped she was back to work and being promoted to R.N. 

Ezra is busy working on becoming an author so that he can write Elena's autobiography before he moves out to start his own family.  Nothing super exciting to report about him. As the spare heir he's just along for the ride. 

Sometimes I think of Ezra which makes me think of Prince Harry and for a moment I feel bad for Harry (and Ezra) because you know? It must really stink to be the spare. Especially when the spare has an heir and you're even further down the totem pole. I'm tellin' ya...that must really whomp! Who makes these rules anyway? 

Baby #1 was born, a son that was named Oscar Quinn. Unfortunately, Jordan is halfway to elder and she really needed a daughter to carry on the Montgomery name. Which means that Ricky is having to take care of little  Oscar because Jordan had to get pregnant again right away in hopes for an heir. 

The day after Oscar was born, Jordan was promoted to General Practitioner.  Which is great because the bills are burning through the savings that Elena and Ember left for the family.  Large houses aren't cheap and I definitely have more bills than Ricky and Jordan make in a week.

All and all, this generation is shaping up nicely.  I'm very grateful for the savings I've secured for this generation. Nothing quite compares to the thousands in royalties that the family had gotten used to living on, that's for sure! The future however is still looking pretty bright!  

On that note, I will leave you with one last look at how things were and a chance to say goodbye to Generation 2's Elena and Edwin. 

Be sure to tune in next time to see Oscar's transition into a child and the birth of baby #2!  Will Jordan have her heir or will she fail in her matriarchal reign? Only time will tell!
