The Featherton Family - Chapter 5

The twins were very close. They had to be, since their parents were always fighting with each other. Although, Sophie was really working hard to regain the trust of her husband, Richard IV again. She was determined to get her life back on track again! But in the meanwhile, she had to prepare the twins for university when they eventually grew up. She didnt want them to kick against everything like, their Aunty Rochee did! (Their fathers sister!)




They were remarkable teenagers and were very pleased that they could go to University. Richard 5 especially was looking forward to it. He had been bringing young girls home from school these days!




They both graduated quite well. They both fell in love with someone on campus and eventually there was another wedding. Richard IV and Sophie decided to make it a double wedding. Rhinette was also their only daughter and they didnt want to spare any expense.




Rhinette and her husband, Weldon Love.




Richard V and his beautiful wife, Sarah.







Sarah didnt have a problem producing a heir for her husband, Richard V. Her pregnancy was easy, and not full of stress like her predecessors. Here is Richard VI!




Well, More in the next chapter 6

The Featherton Family - Chapter 4

Richard IV and two of his sisters, Rhaine and Ruby went to University. For some reason Rachel wasnt interested, and Rochee was just plain rebellious and went against everything her parents asked of her.
It was at University, once again, that a Featherton Heir found their future wives! And Richard IV was no different. The only problem with him was, that he was so smitten, he spent more time with her than in his studies. She was a gorgeous blonde, and her name was Sophie.
When he returned home after graduation, his father gave them a beautiful wedding. And Sophie made a beautiful bride. Lets hope she will make some beautiful children for the Feathertons!



Sophie had twins. A boy and a girl. They were named, Richard V and Rhinette.




But through all the excitement of new babies, Richard III was mourning the loss of his beloved wife, Holly.



And through it all he derived such peace, happiness and comfort when he held his grandson, Richard V in his arms. He was often seen sneaking into the nursery to see if the baby was awake!




Richard IV and his wife Sophie started having a lot of problems soon after Richard III died. She innocently flirted with the male maid and of course this caused an uproar and instability in their lives. So when she realised she was pregnant again, everyone thought it was going to be the maids. However, it wasnt. She had another son, Ryno.




The twins, Richard V and Rhinette had now grown into children as well.







Soon they would be teenagers and heading off to college like their parents, and grandparents, and great grandparents...

Richard V in Chapter 5

The Featherton Family Chapter 3

Richard III and his twin sister Esmerelda went to university and returned to their ancestral home. Esmerelda of course, had met her future husband Leo Dalton and planned to move into his home with him. Richard III, however had met and got engaged to Holly while at university.

One evening, Esmerelda spoke to her mother about her return from university and the agreement with grandfather Richard II, that she could leave on return of graduation.
"Esmerelda, as soon as your brother has got married you can leave. I still need you here around the house to help me with the preparations!"




Then Richard III and Holly got married. Holly wasnt too sure about this union. She didnt like the idea of being tied down to one man, but she seemed to be caught up with the Featherton History and influences on outsiders.




It didnt take too long before Holly was bent over double at the toilet. There was a new heir on the horison! She was hoping it would be a boy, and then she could get her life together again!




Richard II and Nicole eventually retired.




Richard III and Holly had 5 children. Poor Holly was pregnant with 4 girls before she gave birth to a son, Richard IV. These pictures are of the children as teens.
She first had Rachel.



Then Rochee made an appearance. But she was a real problem child!




The beautiful Rhaine was their third child.




And then Ruby surprised the family. She was the first child to be born with blonde hair! All the sisters together.




Richard IV eventually arrived, and his mother, Holly could breathe again. She had produced the heir!
Poor Richard IV, of course always had his older sisters trying to bully him, especially Rochee. She always had an attitude problem with everyone!

The Featherton Family Chapter 2

Richard II and his younger brother Tiaan had a normal childhood. Their parents didnt have a lot of money, but they never wanted for much. Richard II spent a lot of time with his dad. They were the best of friends.



Richard II met and married Nicole and they had twins, Richard III and a girl Esmerelda.






Richard and Lauren approached their retirement together happily. But Nicole didnt care much for her mother-in-law at all! They were always seen slapping and poking each other!






And the worst part was, they didnt seem to care whether the twins were around. Very upsetting for children to see their parents/grandparents arguing!



The saddest day of all was when Lauren died. Richard was unconsolable!

The Featherton Legacy

Richard Featherton cruised into Leghasee with just the clothes on his back and the title deeds to a piece of land he had got from a gambling debt. He had decided that he was going to become known through the ages as the forefather of the Featherton Legacy. He decreed that only a true Featherton, by blood must remain on this piece of land from generation to generation. He only had a small amount of cash left from his winnings, but he was happy!



He built his first little place with only the bare necessities, and set himself down to finding a job in the military and started brushing up on his skills to better himself.



One day he brought a fellow colleague from work home with him. Her name was Lauren Despret, and even though she was a little unsure of him, they were falling for one another.



Richard cooked her a meal that evening, and tentatively took her hand across the table. She didnt take her hand away, just gazed into his eyes. Although they had to sit outside in the cool breeze, they never felt it. They only had eyes for each other.



Lauren really fell in love with Richard. She had a few thousand simoleons of her own, and moved in with him. Although she slept outside that first night. The builders could only come in the morning and there was no space inside Richards little house for her bed!



After the extensions had been done to his home, Richard made Lauren is wife. They didnt really know anyone in town as yet, so their wedding was very quiet. Besides, they had no money left after renovating the house!
It wasnt long before they produced two beautiful boys. The first was named Richard II, as he was the first and had to carry on the bloodline for his dad, and a few years later they had another son, Tiaan.
