Cleo was the only one who caused a fuss, but Paris and Asia were very pleased for their little sister.  They knew in their heart of hearts that the honour had always belonged to Sunny.

The next few years flew by.  Alex doted on his only son decorating Elvis’s bedroom and buying him a brand new rock n roll guitar even though Elvis was too young to play it.  To compensate, Alex played to Elvis each day, teaching him the basics so he would be ready when he was old enough to practice.

Soon enough both Asia and Paris had grown into young adults.  Asia developed the family orientated trait and Paris inherited the adventurous trait from her mum.

Growing into a young adult had made Asia look at her life differently and realised how important not only her family was, but also how important her heritage was.  So she decided to dress in more traditional Chinese wear.  But this was not enough, she knew she needed to go back to China and discover more of her roots.  Paris decided to go with her as she wanted to become a martial arts master and knew China was the place for her too.  So the two girls set off for a new adventure in life together. )please note i tried to get some images of their lives in China but my World Adventures is not working at the moment so i could not document is…!)

Meanwhile, back in Sunset Valley Cleo and Sunny had also aged into young adults.  Cleo had developed the never nude trait and Sunny developed the hopeless romantic trait.

As Cleo had now realised her lifelong wish to follow in her father’s footsteps and become a world-renowned surgeon, she got a job at the hospital straight away.  Due to her high intelligence and passion for the job she moved up the ranks quickly and became a medical intern very quickly.  It was in this job that she met Gordon Peters.  He was a Gene Therapist and Cleo’s mentor.

Gordon was no oil painting and he was 15 years older than Cleo, but he was a genius and highly ambitious and Cleo could not help but fall for him. 

Gordon and Cleo had to work very closely together and long hours.  They would often sneak off for a coffee at the local diner and it was here their relationship quickly developed.

Gordon had waited his whole life for someone like Cleo and Cleo finally felt comfortable with a man again.  It was no surprise to anyone that in the second month of them knowing each other, Gordon proposed.

Following a quick private wedding, Gordon bought them a very modest little house in Sunset Valley down the road from the hospital.

Cleo and Gordon lived here happily here for years, throwing themselves into their careers.  Eventually there was the pitter patter of tiny feet and Cleo gave birth to a little girl they called Karen.  Karen looked just like her father with her mothers darker hair.  She was the apple of her parents eye as they never had any more children.

Back in the Shenston household, Alex managed to fulfill his lifetime wish of becoming a rock star before he became  an elder.

Audrey was still always his number one fan.

Little Elvis also grew into a teenager.  He was almost a clone of his father and realised his lifelong wish to also become a rock star very quickly.   By the time he became a teen, his father had taught his everything he knew so picking up a guitar, was almost second nature to him.

Finally, we have not forgotten about Sunny, the heir to the Shenston Legacy…..Having a lifetime wish to raise of family of at least five children gave her no ambition to have a career so Sunny volunteered at the local school to fill her time as she loved being around the children.  It was on her way to work one day that she decided to cut across the park.  She did not realise until it was too late, the thief creeping up behind her.  Before she knew it her bag had been swiped and all she could do was scream with fright.

Luckily the park was next to the police station and constable Anderson heard Sunny’s cries from his office. By the time he reached Sunny, the thief was long gone and Sunny was in tears. 

Constable Anderson was such a great comfort to Sunny. He reassured her everything would be ok and took a full report of what happened.  When Sunny had calmed down she looked up and was faced with the most beautiful green eyes she had ever seen.  Sunny made herself blush because she could not stop looking at constable Anderson, and he seemed to notice.

That night Constable Anderson, first name Jack, took Sunny out for dinner. He told her it was to cheer her up, but they both knew it was a date.

Sunny was surprised at how quickly she fell in love with Jack.  Within a year they were married….

And nine months later Sunny gave birth to twins – a boy and a girl.  They named the girl Sarah after her ancestor and the boy Simon.  Sarah was a spitting image of Sunny where Simon looked just like his dad.

Sunny and Jack lived their lives in wedded bliss for many years until one day Jack got offered chief superintendent in Sim City. 

It was a big decision to make, leaving Sunset Valley.  But both Jack and Sunny knew that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and they could not turn it down.  So they packed up their belongings and left the Shenston household.  It was too valuable to sell and none of Sunny’s sisters or brother wanted to live there, so the house was to remain empty until one day a member of the Shenston family would come back and live in it once again…..

So now we have come to the end of the Shenston Legacy. I know there may be a few more questions that have not been answered with this conclusion but i wanted to leave it as open as possible so you can use  your own imaginations. 

I want to say thank you so much to everyone who has been reading over the last six months and how I would never have kept going this long without you.  I have enjoyed writing the legacy but I do know that it is now time to put it to bed and start a new adventure with my Sim Stories.  My first one is called: “A Fairytale in Riverside” and can be found here: http://afairytaleinriverside.wordpress.com/

I have only written one chapter but plan to write between 2-3 chapters a week.  I really hope you will go on and read my Sim Stories and enjoy it just as much as you have enjoyed my legacy.

Hugs and kisses, Sarah xxxx
