Leiah kept getting a feeling...A creepy feeling that somebody was watching her.
She felt it was safest for her and her kids to move and get a fresh new start, so Leiah had her friend Amber Lights (Who is also doing the challenge, you can read it here ) help her. This is the front of the house.
The back...
Amber built the entire house for Leiah, but Leiah decorated it, so this whole house is a collaboration of the two! There's a patio out back that features a firepit and lawn chairs..
...and a grill and a bench and a... Nevermind.
Here's an aerial view of the backyard.
Amber came up with the fabulous idea of this hottub! Cool right?
She also built a pool.
Then Leiah added a little kids play area.
Leiah secretly made a basement next to the pool. It was a place she could go when life got too crazy.
Now the inside!
The living room had a drafting table, so Leiah could work on her drawing.
A bookcase and a comfy chair in the corner.
A TV and a couch
A chess table
For the artsy sims; there's two art easels, a piano, and a guitar!
Leiah even added a bulletin board so that she could remind the kids of whose turn it was to do which chores.
This house, instead of stairs, has an elevator.
A little entryway
The dining room, it was pretty plain, but it got the job done.
There was a beautiful wall cover to add a little modern touch.

Of course there was the oven, the fridge, and the sink; but Leiah even added a dishwasher! Yay! Now she didn't have to wash all dishes by hand!
She had every appliance you could ever want.
Also an island for birthday cakes!

The bathroom was plain yet modern.
Leiah couldn't help but add a non-alcoholic juice bar.
The boys and girls rooms!
Both kids rooms had a study table for doing homework or just reading.
But both of them had slight differences between each other.
Then the nursery!
The new cribs are perfect for either gender, cute, and comfy for the baby!
There was toys everywhere, no babies would get bored!
Last, but most definitely not least, is Leiah's room!
She had two model stands to help her with her creativity.
Leiah's ever important blogging computer sitting on top of a fuzzy heart rug.
She even had her very own TV!
Leiah's room was both minimalist and intricate at the same time.
Then the centerpiece of the room. The romantic part of it all. Leiah's bed. In the backdrop she has a great view of the backyard and two paintings done by yours truly!
Leiah grew up the kids before they left, and Baya and Azul moved out with Leiah's blessing. (So sorry for not having the pictures, I was having major game troubles) Here's beautiful Maya as a teenager! Leiah was right when she said that Maya was going to be beautiful. Those green eyes still got Leiah.
Sir Camryn as a tot! He was truly a mini-me of his dad. Thomas was squirming too much for Leiah to get a picture of him, but you'll see him later in this post.
Anna still looked like her dad, but a little tiny bit less than she did as a toddler.
Andy looked like.. Well, Leiah wasn't really sure who Andy looked like, but she was gorgeous.
With the kids growing up, Leiah decided to change her look right along with them. She wasn't going to change until baby 50, but she figured that if she was gonna have a fresh start, she was gonna do it right!
Her outfit was the perfect mix between mom, and bombshell. The best part is, it's maternity clothes too!
Even at this new house, Leiah couldn't help but still feel an ominous feeling of somebody watching her. Especially with Baya and Azul gone, she simply didn't feel safe.
She didn't have time to ponder over this feeling however, because she felt a sharp blow to the back of her head. The last thing she remembered was a man in black looking at her and cackling evilly.
Only a few seconds later, everything went black.
She briefly woke up to a man carrying her inside a strange house. This man was different from the one she remembered at her house, but did look a lot like the same.
She was in a separate little house. This little "house" or more like a room, only had a bed, a side table, and a mirror. She slept here.
Leiah kept waking in and out of consciousness, and her memory was very fuzzy. The one thing she remembered when she woke up though was two male voices, they kept calling each other "brother" and they kept forcing her to drink this juice, which was the last thing that happened before she would pass out again. It wasn't the juice was it?
She got outside one day while both brothers were on a run. She felt strange. She couldn't figure out why.
Her nausea was the only thing keeping her from running as fast as her legs would carry her. She couldn't stop throwing up, and she just wanted to go home.
The last time Leiah woke up was the craziest, and she felt the weirdest. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her skin was pale, her eyes were glowing, and she had fangs. She wasn't stupid, she knew what she was, she was...
She jumped as she saw a face. Her thoughts were interrupted by a male. A male she had so come to hate. Yes, hate. Not "strongly dislike with a passion" or anything cheesy like that, hate.
"If you're good I'll let you go tomorrow morning. So be good." The man announced then walked away.
Leiah went back into her own little thoughts. She wasn't stupid, she was a vampire.
After she finally admitted this to herself, she felt a strong kick in her stomach. No. It couldn't be. When did that happen? That was when it all came rushing back to her.
She remembered being bitten by the brother with the glowing skin and those... green eyes. They made her shudder. She also remembered well, conceiving the baby she was now pregnant with. She couldn't by any means call it rape, but she definitely had forgotten about it.
The thing that really disturbed Leiah though was the fact that she couldn't remember exactly who the father was. It was obviously one of the brothers, but which one? Fuzzy images came back to her, but both brothers looked so much alike that she truly couldn't think of it.
She remembered tattoos, but that didn't really help her because both brothers had the same tattoo. Probably for a reason. On one side there was the skull and a weird fire thing...
On the other side there was the grim reaper and red wings. These tattoos seemed important to Leiah, but she couldn't exactly figure out why.
Leiah's brain hurt trying to remember, so she just went to bed.
When she woke up the next morning, there was no doubt that she was pregnant. The baby was growing and moving like wildfire.
Like a good girl, she made the bed.
Then she cleaned their toilet. They finally let her out of the little room, and she couldn't figure out exactly why now. Maybe because they had gotten what they wanted from her.
The non-vampire brother, which Leiah had found out that his name was Adam, grabbed Leiah and kissed her. Leiah couldn't be sure that this meant that he was the one who had fathered her unborn baby, but it was a clue. Leiah dug her nails into his back, which he ignored and just kept smushing his ignorant lips on hers. It couldn't even be considered a kiss.
After the "kiss" Adam gruffly pushed Leiah out the door. Good riddance! She walked out of the place that had been her prison for the past week.
Leiah got home and had to keep it together. It was daytime and since she was a vampire, she couldn't go anywhere. Plus, her kids missed her.
Even though Maya, Andy, and Anna clearly knew something was wrong, Leiah tried to keep life somewhat normal for the boys. She taught them how to walk. Camryn was great and picked it up right away.
Whereas after Leiah helped Thomas up, he would just sit back down.
She tried not to worry, but it really did worry her. If he was just a little slower, that was fine, but she had a feeling that something else was going on with her little boy. So she took him to the doctor.
When she came out, she had her answer. Sure enough, Thomas had autism.
As she brought him home, she couldn't help but be grateful that she had bought a smaller house. She didn't know how she was going to look after him in a huge house.
After she gave Maya instructions to keep an eye on Thomas, she went back out.
She needed to get out of the house and think. The past week had been a crazy one. She couldn't cry, yet she felt like she needed to. So she came here.
What better place to induce tears than a graveyard? Especially considering she was a part of the "living dead" now.
She cried at each grave. She cried for what this person was, who that person left behind, what those monsters did to her, and she even cried for her best friend Sarah.
She wiped away the tears as a new hope began forming within her.
She stood there, watching the grave, with a grim determination. She was going to love this baby, and she was going to overcome what had happened to her. She would also do all the research she could to find a way to change herself back to normal.
The baby was growing, seemingly unknowingly of the drama that supported his conception. Yeah, his. Leiah had a feeling that it was a boy.
The baby kicked and she rubbed her stomach, this time with a smile on her face. It wasn't the baby's fault.
When Leiah got back home, she spent some time with the family. Andy and Anna wanted to watch their own show downstairs by themselves, but the rest of the family watched a movie in Leiah's bedroom.
Camryn LOVED TV, he would grab his feet and rock back and forth, giggling at every little thing on the television.
Whereas Thomas just sat there, staring off into the distance. Leiah tried not to compare the two, but it was so hard.
She felt like a bad mother, because she let the kids stay up for most of the night, talking to them. It was a weekend, so what? She informed Maya of what happened.. Censored of course for her teenage ears, but she at least could tell Maya why she was now a vampire.
Leiah hopped onto the computer to chat with her friends on facebook. She kept up a normal front to not give anything away. She wasn't quite ready to spill the news yet.
She stood up to go get a drink of water, when she felt the sharp pains of contractions.
The pain was so bad it was making her cross-eyed!
Knowing nothing about giving birth as a vampire, Leiah had a cab take her to the hospital.
Just as Leiah thought, it was a boy. She named baby 33 Matthias Mistoffelees. Matthias means "gift from God" and he truly was a gift.
As Leiah fed him at home, she couldn't help but still wonder. Who was the father?
