It’s the end of the first week, and Janice has just had a great date with Gordon, the local criminal around town. How could she resist this beautiful face?

(Besides, a face isn’t the most important thing in a relationship, is it? What matters is if the sparks fly!)

What better way to top off a great date than with a little ‘try for baby’!

The next day Janice is in such a great mood that she gets a promotion to Drill Instructor! It’s time to celebrate with some new items: a dishwasher, end table, and a mirror. She immediately starts learning some romance, not that she really needs it with Gordon; he seems pretty attached to her already.

Janice wakes up in the middle of the night to discover her belly has started to grow. She didn’t have any morning sickness, so it’s a bit of a surprise. Her supervisor calls (yes, in the middle of the night) and tells her to take a few days off. She goes back to bed, looking forward to a few days off now that she has a bit of cash to tide her over.

Right after Janice falls asleep, Gordon sneaks by with a little gift…. Little? Not quite, it’s a Karoake machine!! Janice sells it the next morning (Monday) for $1,800 and gets some new stuff, including…

A television, a better oven, new couch, a dining table and chairs. It feels awesome to be able to get so much stuff that she needs, and some stuff that she doesn’t. That couch is nice and comfy.

And her food actually tastes better lately!

Late Monday night, the absolute unthinkable happens. No, he’s NOT sneaking by to leave a nice bouquet!!

First goes the TV.
“That’s what you get for selling my gift, sweetie-pie!”

Janice immediately calls the police and stands back as the burglar and policeman fight it out.

“Get that thieving bastard!” Janice screams. She doesn’t realize it’s Gordon.

Somehow Gordon was able to wrestle out of the cop’s grip and fled away before he could be identified. Now what was that all about? He’s lucky Janice didn’t recognize him.

“Aww, my Panasonic LCD flatscreen TV that I JUST bought!!” *sob*

“And my comfy-wumfy blue couch that I got to sit on ONCE!!” *bawl*

“Even one of my cheap, crappy chairs!! What kind of trash steals a CHAIR?!”
(He also got away with the mirror)

Tueday morning, Janice wakes up to realize that if it weren’t for Gordon’s expensive gift, she would be totally broke right now. She invites him over, not knowing if she’ll tell him about the baby yet, though it’s starting to be rather obvious.
“Gordon!! How lovely to see you! I’m glad you agreed to come by, I’ve missed you! Let me tell you about the night I had last night!…..the gift you left? No, I didn’t get it!! Someone must have stolen it before I woke up! That sucks…”
Do you think she’ll realize it was him? Or is she just blinded by love? Is it the hormones from pregnancy? No. The truth is, Gordon is the one person in the whole neighborhood that Janice really identifies with. She knows what it’s like to live on the hard side of life (and more than one ‘loved’ person in her life has stolen from her..she suspects Gordon might have a drug habit he’s maintaining). And she’s going to have to tell him about the baby at some point…
//author’s note: this xtreme legacy is really fun to play, I never expected Gordon would steal from his own girlfriend! Especially the night after he left her an $1,800 gift! (which he probably stole, lol) All in all it worked out as a net benefit, though I should have purchased a security system after getting the TV… Janice didn’t seem to care either (though I’ll admit I don’t remember looking at the relationship tab) I’m also interested to see how the noses get played out genetically…lol//

OMG What a development. I can’t wait to see what you have planned for these two.

Well … the thing about the security system … it doesn’t work with only one wall. You have to have a totally enclosed home in order to put a burglar alarm on a wall. You probably wouldn’t have been able to afford it.
And I was expecting that sooner or later, Gordon would be tiptoe-ing by to take a few things from her. He IS a burglar after all. It’s what he does! :O))
Great stuff.

I can’t believe that Gordon! How could he steal from his own girlfriend? Wow, who knew? I’ll be interested to see how that nose plays out too because he will be marrying into my next generation of legacy. Although, the Bacters already have a big nose from the last two generations of marriage, LOL.

Well, I can’t quite say I blame Gordon. I mean, she sold off that expensive gift he stol– er, bought for her without ever taking the time to have him come over and admire it!
Good to see their relationship survived the double-betrayal though!

He stole her stuff? Wow, what a good boyfriend. Will he straighten up with the birth of their child? Will they get married? Will she ever find out he was the one who robbed her? Can’t wait to find out–this is great stuff!
