Over at My Simself and Kevin Roomies' house, a stranger at the door, has changed this family's life forever.

When Kevin heard a knock on the door, he went outside to greet the stranger, who was standing there. "Can I help you?", asked Kevin.

"Are you Kevin Roomies?", he asked. "Yeah, that's me", said Kevin. "My mother was Maria Armende and you're my father", said Jett.

"Where're you from?", asked Kevin. "I'm Jett Armende from Veronaville", he answered. "Come on in", said Kevin. "I don't want to cause problems between you and your wife", said Jett, "I just wanted to meet you". "My wife knows all about my past", said Kevin, "If I had known about you, she would, too".

"Kevin told Mary as much as he remembered about Maria Armende, a Romance Sim he met in Veronaville just before he came to Pine Grove for The 7 Perfect Dates 3 Contest.

"How did your mother die?", Kevin asked. "She'd been in poor health every since I was born", said Jett, "My birth had been very difficult for her". "I'm sorry, Maria was a nice woman", said Kevin. "She always spoke well of you, too", said Jett.

"We were both Romance Sims and didn't plan on having a baby", said Kevin. "Yeah, I'm a Romance Sim, so I know how you and my mother felt about that", he said.

"If she had told me she was pregnant, I would have tried to have some kind of relationship with you", said Kevin. "Yeah, it would have been nice, but she didn't want you to feel obligated", said Jett, "She only told me about you, when she knew she was dying". "That's what my mom did, too", said Kevin, "But I didn't get to meet my dad: he died before my mom".

Adam stopped by to visit and Mary gave him a friendly hug.

"Your father has someone he wants you to meet", said Mary.

About that time, Jett walked into the livingroom. "Hey, Little Brother", said Jett.

"Jett is your father's son by a woman he knew in Veronaville", said Mary.

"In other words, your dad did woo hoo with my mom and made me", said Jett.

"Your parents asked me to stay here until I can find my own place, so I guess we can be friends", said Jett. "I'm a Romance Sim", said Adam, "Will that bother you?" "No, 'cause I'm one, too", said Jett.

Jett asked Adam to play Punch U - Punch Me.

Aaron came home from school and told his mom about something that happened on the schoolbus.

After she explained who Jett was, Aaron thought it was great, having two big brothers.

Jett asked Aaron to play a game of chess.

"I never had a big brother living in the same house as me", said Aaron, "This is gonna be cool".

"Yeah, I'll be glad to help you with your homework, if you want me too", said Jett, "I made pretty good grades in school".

Kevin's brother Stormy has his own little problem to deal with. "Morgan, you can't just leave him here", said Stormy, "This ain't even my own place".

"He's just as much yours as he is mine", she said, "You try taking care of him for a few days and see how you like it!"

The "he" they were discussing is River Stetler, Morgan's son she had by Stormy.

"Mommy, are you alright?", asked Abby.

"Yes, I just got something in my eye", said Mary.

"Susan, you won't believe what's been happening over here at my house", said Mary, "You're so lucky that your husband and your childern don't cause you problems".

Before he left his parent's house, Adam checked his E-mail. There was an E-mail from Kristen*, which read as follows:
My Adam.
I was so happy to get your E-mail, it always makes me smile to hear from you. I know how special our night at The Love Shack was and I will never forget it. I am so happy to know I am not like the other girls and that helps me feel better about all those dates you're going to go on. I am so proud of you fro being voted Mr. Romance Sim. I know that you are very special and you deserve it. I want you to come visit me soon, as I have a very special surprise for you when you get here. When you are through with the contest, I will let you know when to come.

I wish I could be for your crowning, but I don't think I could handle all those girls falling all over you. I had to take some time off from school, I have been very sick, but it's nothing to worry about, I will be alright, babe, I promise. I am looking for another place, as this trailer park isn't where I want to live permanantly and Grandpa Birch sent me enough money to buy a small house. I haven't started dating yet, as I cannot let go of you right now. I will talk to you soon, take care babe. I love you, Adam.
Kris

Adam played Red Hands with Aaron, before he left to go home.

A few days later, Adam stopped by The Redneck Dreams Trailer Park.

He brought his brother Jett to meet a special lady.

"Wow, she's just as beautiful as Adam said", Jett thought to himself.

"Do you mind if I join you?", asked Jett.

"Sure, come on in, the water's fine", said Simone.

"Where you from, goodlooking?", she asked. "I was born and raised in a place called Veronaville", said Jett.

Simone asked him to cuddle.

They madeout.

"You want to do woo hoo", she asked. "That's kinda what I came here for", he said.

Woo Hoo!

"You were incredibe", said Simone. "I aim to please, madam", said Jett.

When Jett went into one of the trailers to use the bathroom, Laci came home from work. "You're about the most beautiful thing I've ever seen", she said.

Jett relaxed on the bed in the other room and asked Laci to join.

He gave her a romantic kiss.

They madeout.

They fell in love, as Romance Sims do many times in their lifetime.

"Can we do woo hoo?", asked Jett.

And Laci said YES!

"You were just as good as you look", she said.

"I aim to please, madam", he said.

Jett went right to sleep and spent the night.

Down the road from the trailer court is this houseboat, which Max Beaker calls home. Today is Johah's first birthday.

When it was time, Max brought his son Jonah to his cake.

The invited guests Claire and Birch helps Max sing "Happy Birthday to Jonah . . ."

Max did the "baby toss" and . . .

Jonah returned to his daddy's arms, a cute toddler.

"Well, what do you think?", asked Max.

"I think your son is just as beautiful as you are", said Claire.

"Yeah, I know", said Max.

"You've taught Max this "daddy thing" pretty good", said Claire. "Yeah, something like that", said Birch.

Birch held Jonah and played with him.

"If you or your daddy needs anything, you know where to come", said Birch, "I've got to go to another party now".

"I reckon he's pretty tired", said Max, "I'll put him down for a nap"".

"I'll do it", said Claire.

After she put the baby in his crib, Claire gave Max a tender kiss.

"I appreciate you being so understanding about the baby", said Max.

"Max, you and Jonah are a package deal", she said, "I love him, 'cause he's a part of you".

"Claire, I'm lucky to have a woman like you", said Max. "I'm the lucky one", said Claire.

Max grabbed her hand and covered it in kisses.

He gave her a romantic kiss.

They madeout.

"You want to do woo hoo?", he asked. "I thought you'd never ask", said Claire.

WOO HOO!

"Claire, will you move in here with me and Jonah?", asked Max.

"Yes, if you're sure that's what you want", said Claire.

Across town, there's two birthdays being celebrated at Sara's house.

Melissa greeted Adam, who came to the party with Noah, Birch and Jett.

She got in the hottub with Adam and . . .

Jett.

Jett splashed Melissa with the warm water and she splashed him back. Melissa played with Jett, until she heard Sara calling her.

When it was time, Sara brought Reed to his birthday cake.

Birch and Adam tooted the horns and did the noise makers.

After doing his toddler dance, Reed grew up into a cute child.

Then Melissa and Sara watched, as . . .

Noah brought Leif to his brithday cake.

After he did his todler dance, he also grew up into a cute todler.

Reed asked Noah if he could have a television for his room.

Noah told him "no"!

Then Reed asked his grandaddy to buy him a television.

Birch's grandchildern learn early, "If daddy says no, ask grandaddy".

Leif told his mom that he grew up well.

Then Birch gave him a friendly hug.

"Daddy, I told Reed he couldn't have a televison in his room", said Noah, "Why did you tell him you'd buy him one?"

"You and Ryan use to do the same thing when you was his age", laughed Birch, "Whenever your mama told you no, you came whining to me".

Then Noah surprised his daddy, by giving him a friendly hug.

Noah and Birch played Punch U - Punch Me, while . . .

Sara and Melissa played Red Hands with the twins.

Reed relaxed on his new "big boy" bed and thought about his grandaddy.

Leif relaxed on his matching "big boy" bed.

"You guys need to get to bed and go to sleep, the schoolbus comes mighty early in the morning", said Noah.

"You boys do what your daddy tells you", said Sara.

"Thanks for what you did in there just now", said Noah.

Then he gave her a romantic kiss.

Then Noah left to go back to Stetler Ranch.

"You're welcome to come back anytime, Jett", said Melissa.

Then she gave him a tender kiss goodbye.

The next morning Leif and Reed came out the front door, when the aschoolbus came.

Leif got on first . . .

Followed by his identical twin Reed.

In one of these trailers, at a trailor park somewhere in Oklahoma City, there's a much awaited birthday about to occur today.

Kristen has started into labor with her and Adam's baby.

"Come on, Kris, you can do this", she thought to herself.

She delivered a beautiful baby boy with tan skin, brown eyes and black hair.

"You look exactly like your daddy", she said, "He's going to be surprised when he sees you".
