Playing House

I haven't talk about my relationships in awhile except to talk about friends who are gone. But my second life has been changing again.

I met Grace in November. She didn't think I liked her because I was a bit cool when she said something about another girl I know. But a mutual friend got us talking and we discovered that we really liked each other.

We dated and our avatars fell in love. We got engaged, but then decided we couldn't wait to get married and eloped on December 20. Grace bought a pregnancy HUD and within a week her avatar was pregnant. Well that's a brief summary of the past few months.

So how's my second life? Some people become builders, others artists and musicians. Some folks operate clubs or other businesses. On the other end of the scale, some folks are vampires, or animals, or aliens from outer space. What am I? I'm a father-to-be with a house and mortgage  (the tier payment). My second life is imitating real life.

We found a better place to live. We built one house and are planning to build a bigger one for our growing family. We go to the birthing clinic for regular checkups. Grace takes vitamins, and drinks her juice and eats right. All the while her belly has grown as we wait for her due date in March.

Some people are really interested in our progress. Although lots of people get married in SL and even have families by adopting child avatars, not as many go through the process and expense of an SL pregnancy. Grace and I want the full experience though. We will have a prim baby who we will raise for awhile and then adopt a child to replace the baby.

I guess we are just playing house.
