Dick Broke Caliente Becomes A Teenager

Dina stepped out of the car as she returned home from work....late again! She had been putting in many hours of overtime lately, but all that extra work had finally paid off. She had finally gotten the promotion she'd been waiting for....to General Practitioner. As late as it was, she knew that Dustin had already fixed dinner for himself and Dick and she had grabbed a quick bite between doing rounds at the hospital. Dina sighed....suddenly feeling very tired.

As she entered the house, she was informed by Dustin that Nina and Don were on their way over. They had just called and asked if they could stop by for a quick visit. Even though she was tired, Nina was looking forward to seeing her twin sister again. It had been months since they had visited with one another. "I have time for a quick shower", Nina thought, as she headed for the bathroom.

After a quick shower, Nina went outside to check the mail as Don and Dina drove up. Nina had not seen Don since before his last birthday when he had become an elder...and she was shocked when she saw him! She had always pictured "Don Juan Lothario" as a young, vibrant, and handsome ladies man. But what she saw standing before her was an old man. It wasn't just his looks that had changed. It was the way he carried himself...Nina looked closely and could see nothing of the man see had remembered Don to be. "Oh my goodness!", Nina thought to herself in shock, "Is this really the Don I used to know?" Of course Don noticed her response to his appearance, and seemed to shrink further into the ground right before her eyes.

"Just look at my hands" Nina said to her sister Dina. "They look like the hands of an old woman!" Dina looked closely. Yes, neither Nina or herself would be considered "young women" any longer. Why, look at Brandi...and Cassandra...and Darren....and Don. It wasn't going to be much longer at all because their birthday and transformation into elderhood was less than a year away!

Don sat quietly at the table, listening as Dina and Nina visited. They talked about him as if he wasn't even there....or as if he were too old and senile to understand what they were saying. It was true....something had happened to Don after he had aged. Perhaps he had always relied on his good looks and on the impact they had on women. Once his looks had faded, it appeared as though Don himself had faded along with them.

Oh course, it hadn't helped, the way Nina had initially looked upon him in revulsion on the night of his transformation. That was the start of a change with Don that had continued into a downward spiral....leaving him depressed and with little enthusiasm for life. And it didn't help the way Nina continued to look at him...as though he were something repulsive and who didn't even deserve to exist!

Nina stood looking at Don as they got ready to leave. "Looks like he didn't even bother to shower before coming over" thought Nina, as a shiver ran through her body. Don noticed...yet he had a little smile on his face. He had overheard Nina and Dina as they talked. Don knew....as did Nina....that within the year she too would lose her youthful beauty. Don felt a cerain sense of justice in this fact...that fact that very soon Nina would know just what it felt like to be looked down upon for the mere fact of losing ones youth and beauty. He knew that the transformation did not affect everyone in this way....but he also knew that it most certainly would affect his Nina in just the same way it had him....and he was glad.

Before they knew it, Dina and Dustin's son had a birthday. Dick became a teenager, and looked very much a combination of both his mother and his father. It was easy to see that he had Broke blood in him...yet the Caliente looks were very obvious as well.

Since Nina's visit, and now with her son's birthday and transformation into a teenager, Dina had thought of nothing else except the fact that she wasn't getting any younger. Her biological clock was ticking...and was about to run down forever. She hadn't been in any hurry to have another child. Both she and Dustin had concentrated on their careers. They had Dick, who had always been such a good child. But...Nina was suddenly aware of the age difference between herself and Dustin. She had been accused of "robbing the cradle" when she and Dustin had married. And now, if she were going to have another child, it would have to be now or never.

"Why do I let Dina do this to me?" she thought. She had been perfectly happy with her life...up until the night she had seen Don and Nina.

Just a few nights later, Dina and Dustin conceived another child. Could another child somehow help Dina to cling to the fragments of her youth?

From the very beginning of her pregnancy, Dina felt nauseated and sick. This pregnancy definately was not going to be as easy as her last one. After an especially bad bout of morning sickness, Dina sat on the bathroom floor. "What have I gotten myself into?" Dina asked, as she directed some very unkind thoughts towards her sister Nina.

After learning of the new child that was on the way, Dina and Dustin invited Brandi and Beau over for dinner. They also had Darren Dreamer over, as Brandi and Darren had become quite close. It was strange....to have Brandi as her mother-in-law because Dina and Brandi had been good friends long before Dina's marriage to Brandi's son Dustin. Dina was so nervous that she somehow burned the hamburgers! "Oh don't worry about it, Dina. You just had the stove turned up too high". Brandi was excited about having yet another grandchild on the way....though she was a little concerned that Dina was having another baby at her age.


After dinner, Nina put the dishes into the dishwasher as the rest of the family sat in the living room and talked. "So, when are you and Casey going to get married and start a family of your own?" Brandi asked Beau.

"Oh mom....I don't know. We're not ready for that yet." Beau seemed embarrassed that his mother would bring up the subject at this time. But Brandi, who is a family sim and couldn't have any more children of her own, wanted a house full of grandchildren before she died!

Dustin was happy with the news that Dina was expecting another child. He loved his son Dick, and they had always had a very close relationship. And he was still in love with Dina....but he often thought of his first love Angela and wondered how she was doing.

Angela had continued to see William....and though she cared deeply for him she often found herself thinking of Dustin Broke.

Hmmm....doesn't look as though Angela is feeling very well these days either....does it???

(Authors Note: I never thought I would say this....but I kind of feel sorry for Don Lothario. The way those Caliente girls treat him is just terrible!)
