If you haven't checked out that chapter, please do so. You do NOT want to miss seeing Ricky topless. I mean...hello, Mr. Washboard Abs!
All lusting over his abs aside, he's been a wonderful life partner for Jordan. He's very agreeable, he skills up nicely and he's progressed through his career decently.
He also has been very kind to Jordan's brother who was still a kid when his mother and father died. He helped him with his homework and he and Jordan were more like parents to Ezra than Elena and Edwin were able to be due to their advanced age and death.
After the last chapter and Jordan's promotion to GP, she gave birth to a sweet little girl named Taylor Alexa who arrived promptly on her brother's birthday. Jordan was so relieved to have her heir. You can just see it in her exhausted face!

Just like his dad, he is so very easy going too. Which is good because I rolled the slob trait for him and the house is always trashed. I don't think I could tolerate slob and mean. One day he'll be a painter and he can immortalize his sister in a lovely painting. I'm kind of looking forward to that! We've not yet had an artist in the family.
So, life has went just swimmingly for Jordan and Ricky. They have a routine to their day. They both go to work. Ezra, now a young adult, stays home and works on his writing skill so that he can write Jordan's autobiography. The two little ones go to school. Jordan and Ricky come home and take a little detour to the bedroom.. They just can't keep their hands off each other! (Okay, it's the easiest way for me to keep up their fun and social skills) Still, they're just the sweetest little family ever. I think they might be my favorite generation so far.
So, Jordan's doing really great at her career. She's almost ready for another promotion. She needs just one more surgery under her belt and she'll be a full fledged Medical Specialist. I have to admit though, this is the first time playing through the doctor career and I really committed a huge legacy challenge no-no. I realized that the game is seriously messed up when it comes to the doctor career. My sim would have to swab the same person five days in a row an it was just mind numbing. Also, the child sims would come in and I couldn't always diagnose them because they can't do the treadmill test. So, I downloaded this really great mod called "The Doctor Career Reimagined" I didn't use any of the options that give an unfair advantage but it definitely makes playing the doctor career much more enjoyable. I mean, really...how many times must a sim be swabbed? Hello, it's called rapid test and then you culture it. You don't need five throat swabs. No, just no.
I still think that she can make it to the top of her career path before she has her eternal rest. She's in good physical health and she's doing a fantastic job every day at work. I'm very hopeful that she's going to see her dream of becoming a doctor fulfilled before the reaper visits.
I'm really not sure if Ricky will make the top of his career but hopefully he'll complete his aspiration if nothing else. I guess we will see. He has one day left before his birthday and they could totally surprise me and crank out all their promotions.
The house is well taken care of, they've secured a maid to care for everything. The kids are doing great. So, they may still do this!
With Jordan's birthday behind them and Ricky's birthday coming up the next day...I completely missed that it was Oscar's birthday. He aged up and sent him to the mirror to give him a complete inspection. He did get his daddy's abs. See picture for reference, you're welcome.
Moving along now to the important things. Jordan got another promotion and is now working as a medical specialist. Excuse me?! Did you just see what I said or are you busy staring at the abs? I thought so... attention...MEDICAL SPECIALIST. Next stop? Surgeon.
There's one thing standing in the way of Jordan's promotion and that's the fact that The Maker doesn't play with auto aging on. In fact, the Montgomery family is one of 37 other families that are played in rotation. So, why is this a problem? With so many playable sims in game, there's not a ton of NPCs and there's no story progression or pregnant sims to even come in for the "deliver a baby" requirement.

| The Maker & The Almighty Ruler of Everything |
I think it's time to take a break for the real world reality while I try to decide what to do about this problem.
Besides, I have this weird feeling someone is watching me control the Montgomery's and it has me weirded out!
Me: Hey Ezra. We
need to chat?
Ezra: Who? Wha-?
Me: Chill. You are
fine. I’m totally real. You know who The Maker is right?
Ezra: Kinda. She’s
kind of a legend. Not someone you talk to. Are you The Maker?
Me: Close but not
even in the baseline. I’m The Almighty Ruler of Everything. Most
people call me Fizzy out of sheer laziness. Doesn't matter who I am, matters who you are. And You and I need to chat.
Ezra: Me? Chat? OK.
Me: Thanks for catching on. Listen, I know you are home so I'll be there in a flash. Coffee is always a great thing to offer as refreshment.
Me: Ok, so here's the deal. The Maker and I are friends. We serve the same function in Sims lives in different realms. That is neither here nor there. Just trying to answer questions before you stumble over them. Here's the deal. Your sister needs your help.
Ezra: Realms? Sister? Help?
Me: Gravy with the questions. Lets focus on the last part. Your sister needs your help.
Ezra: Jordan?
Me: Yea, your sister, Jordan. Let's play a game. I talk you listen. There will be a Q&A after.
Ezra: Um, ok.
Me: Jordan really wants to get a promotion at work. It's really important to her. In order to get this promotion she needs to deliver a baby. There really aren't any babies to be delivered these days and when they do come in your sister isn't on call so she misses out on her promotion.
Ezra: I'm not going to have a baby!
Me: Zip. I'm not done. No you are not going to be getting pregnant. However, my hope is that you will have a baby. For the love of your sister, for the future of your community I need you to step up.
Ezra: Huh?
Me: You are going to meet a delightful young lady named Angelica Cassidy. Y'all are really going to hit it off. You are going to ask her to marry you. You are going to move out of your sister's house and in with Angelica. Y'all will begin your own future, your own family. Your own last name, Moss. And y'all will have a family. A baby. So that your sister can deliver it. Yes Baby Moss will be delivered by the doting auntie.
Ezra: So basically I'm supposed to figure out how to meet this person. And convince this person to marry me. And we are both going to change our last name to something that grows on trees and rocks. And have a baby. Just to make my sister happy?
Me: Well if you go all bare bones basically yup. However, it's not like that. You will meet this girl, have faith. Falling in love is the easy part, staying in love is what you need to worry about. And babies make everybody happy. Seriously, once the baby arrives you won't know what your life was ever like before. Trust me.

*blinks* I, wha?! Okay, well, apparently my BFF, the Almighty Ruler of Everything has taken care of my little problem. Ezra has met and informed Angelica of this little arrangement and she's a little skeptical but prepared to do what is needed. Because, of course, the Maker always gets what The Maker wants.
So, stay tuned for the next chapter. We'll see if Jordan finally gets to deliver a baby, get a promotion and watch her little Alexa grow into a beautiful young lady!
