Thank you!

‘I don’t understand. If Edward had a girlfriend, why did we never meet her?’
‘The relationship didn’t last long enough… But the main thing is, the baby is Edward’s son and he’s going to live with us from now on.’
‘Why not the baby’s mum?’
‘She isn’t around any more… It’s hard to explain, okay? Sometimes circumstances are difficult and we have to make the best of what’s happened…’
‘Are you okay, Dad?’
‘Yeah, of course… But listen, there’s nothing to worry about, okay? Edward will be a fantastic dad to him. We’re a family, all of us together.’
‘You look upset…’
‘I-I’ve just got a headache, that’s all. Come here. Let me hug you. You’re not too old for hugs, are you?’
‘Nah, I guess I’ll allow it.’
‘I’m sorry this happened to you, sweetheart… You’re so innocent. You don’t deserve any of this. I really hope I can be good for you…’
*knock knock*
‘Come in.’
‘Oh, Edward! He’s lovely.’
‘You’re right, he is.’
‘God, I can’t believe this… What a bombshell to come home to.’
‘It hasn’t sunk in for me yet, either.’
‘Do you have a name for him yet?’
‘I’ve been giving it a bit of thought… I quite like Vincent. Perhaps a bit formal for everyday use, it may end up getting shortened. I don’t know.’
‘Vincent Farrington. I think it suits him.’
‘Oh, good.’
‘Where’s he going to sleep?’
‘A very good question. It’s not safe to let him sleep in the car seat overnight.’
‘Actually, there might be some things left over from when the triplets were small. In the basement. Though they might be a bit dusty by now.’
‘Hmm, I’ll look. Failing that, I can pull out a drawer, I suppose.’
‘You’re going to put him in a drawer?
‘Only for one night. And I’m obviously not going to push it back in with him in it… People used to do it all the time, back in the day, when they couldn’t afford cribs.’
‘Oh, I guess that makes sense.’
A few days later…
‘Hey, everyone, I think this letter is from the solicitor.’
‘About the inheritance?’
‘Yeah. Let’s see what it says.’
…
...
‘…We’ve got it. All of Olivia’s things are going to be split between us. A three-way split of the money, and joint ownership of the house.’
‘Oh, wow! That’s good, right?’
‘I’m certainly not going to complain about it.’
‘Congratulations. You deserve it.’
‘Does that mean we’re moving house?’
‘We can’t really stay here in a council house if we own one. We ought to free this one up for a family in need, which we no longer are.’
‘That really depends on your definition of “need”.’
‘Well, I mean, we don’t need a home any more.’
‘Can’t we sell Olivia’s place and buy a new one?’
‘Is that really necessary? It sounds like a lot of hassle for no reason. Her house is plenty big for all of us.’
‘Wouldn’t you find it weird to live in the place where she died and lay undetected for months?’
‘Wait, really?’
‘Oh, thanks. I hadn’t told Charon that part.’
‘Eww… They cleaned it up though, right?’
‘Of course they did.’
‘What if she’s still there, haunting it as a ghost?’
‘Look, I very much doubt that. I know it’s a bit grim, but would it really be worth the upheaval of trying to sell it and find another five-bedroom house? Those aren’t the easiest to come by.’
‘…I guess.’
‘We’ll get used to it. It does sound ideal for what we need.’
‘Alright, fine.’
Later…
‘Are you alright?’
‘I don’t know what I’ll do. I can’t live in that house knowing what happened there. I just can’t.’
‘No, that would be horrible for you…’
‘And I can’t even explain to them what the problem is. I’m gonna have to move out on my own.’
‘Not entirely by yourself, I hope… unless you want to.’
‘No, not really.’
‘I wonder if there are any rooms going in Stanley’s house. If there are, you could move in with him, provided that you’re not already sick of seeing him at work.’
‘No, I’d happily take that, if he’s okay with it too. At least I’d be living with a friend.’
‘Then you should ask him.’
‘I’ll send him a text. God, this is fucked up… I don’t even want that stupid house, it’s like I’m profiting off what I did!’
‘No. In any other circumstances, inheriting a house would be a fantastic thing, but not now.’
‘I don’t wanna ruin things for Raya and Ellis. Or you. You all deserve to have this.’
‘I technically don’t have anything. I’m living here because you’re kind enough to let me.’
‘Whether you own it or not, it’s your home. None of us would ever ask you to leave. Especially now you’ve got Vincent.’
‘Thank you. I do think it’ll be good for him to grow up with his cousins.’
‘You guys will be fine there. I just really can’t join you.’
‘Are you coping okay?’
‘A little better than I was, but I haven’t forgot about it. It’s still with me. Just something I have to live with.’
‘And will you be fine visiting us?’
‘I’ll have to be. It’s fine, I’ll suck it up. There’s no other choice.’

I shouldn't find this funny, should I?
(Also I'm on my housemate's laptop right now, have been for a few days and it can't handle Sims, so I'm not entirely sure when my next update will be. The charger for my laptop broke, hopefully I'll be able to get a new one tomorrow but still. Bit of a kick in the knickers there, sorry guys.)

That was a nice chapter, Nat :D
At least, Vincent is going to be raised by the good members of the family and not by Tate ^^
I understand Aria, it's not easy for her to be in the place where she killed her grandmother...
Don't worry Bloo, take your time ^^

Do you mean that there are people whose parents travelled and who have not spent several nights in a drawer?
(Of course you would be too young to remember it at the time, but it's a lot easier to find hotels with dressers than hotels with safe cribs.)

That would imply that Tate and Sheri would've bothered taking their kids if they went somewhere that involved a hotel stay. :v
'Ugh Tate do we really have to take the brats?'
'You know what, fuck it, no we don't. Let them fend for themselves.'
And thanks linesa :3 would rather not keep people waiting but alas, shit's unavoidable sometimes.

Hi guys, I've got some bad news, I'm afraid. I'm going to be leaving MTS. That does not mean I'm giving up on the story, however, just that it's going to be shared in a different place from now on. I'm going to be moving it to the blogspot account Nat and I have been using for a while now (okay mainly Nat, I've been dragging my feet like crazy).
I don't really want to go into all the ins and outs of why I've made this decision, but suffice it to say that this has been brewing for some time. I just don't enjoy using this site any more, and frankly, at times it makes me feel outright gross.
I'm really sorry to do this, because I know it's going to be an inconvenience, but I'm still going to be active on Discord and Tumblr as well. So do feel free to add me and/or send me a message on either of those places if you want to. I don't actually post a whole lot on my Tumblr to make it worth actually following, but I do check my dashboard on a daily basis, so I will get any messages received (providing the site itself doesn't eat them, anyway).
So yeah. I'm going to be logging out now, and my only activity on MTS will be to grab my posts not yet on Blogspot.

Sad to say it, but it's the same case for me. It's part of why I haven't posted here in so long (the other part of it being that I hadn't got anything ready yet), being too grossed out to update. I'm sad to be making this decision, having spent five years here. But I'll make it clear: the story is not abandoned, but you will find new updates at Blogspot only. I know it'll make it harder to follow but like BL00, you can reach out to me at Tumblr or Discord. I'm always on Discord. I'm going to PM some of you an invite link to our server on there just in case any of you are too shy to ask. But if you don't get one and you still want to join, you're free to ask me. That's always been the case and still will. My issue lies solely with MTS itself and none of you in here.

Legend is history as we would like it to be. We pick through the dusts of time for what is worth keeping and, here and there, we occasionally find treasure.

I'm really sorry that it's come to this. The Scumthorpe thread has been my main reason for visiting MTS for the past five years, and with first ChronoJohn and now Nat & Dayna leaving permanently, I don't see myself being very active on here anymore either. I'm grateful for the friends I've made here, and I'll definitely stay in touch with you all through other channels.

Goodbye, and I hope your new venues see you both happy and healthy.
BL00, I am pleased to see that I'm far from the only one to find your last post helpful.
