Chapter Ten

Hailey is no shy bird, she let Rafe know he was being a jerk for ignoring their child just because it was a girl.

Newsflash: You can't change a man no matter how hard you try!

Awkward

Next morning, no surprise Rafe left Hailey to tend to Maria.

While he sold off another batch of produce.

Little did he know Hailey was at home...

... making plans.

As soon as Rafe returned, she let him have it! Notice naughty Dakota tearing into the chair?

Rafe's suggestion to try for a boy fell on deaf ears.

She accused him of being a chauvinist.

And said they were through!

Not only did Maria get this moodlet, so did Cesar and Dakota.

Hailey did leave a parting gift: a book titled "The Wall Between Us". When sold netted $1,209 simoleans!

So Rafe's divorce PAID for a house extension, carpeting and tile for the floors, wallpaper on the inside and outside, and his first major appliance, the stove.

A view of Rafe's humble abode from outside.

Next morning, Rafe will have his first hot, home cooked meal.

What did you expect? He's a man!

Well, yeah, I made him eat them. I had to sit and watch his dumb butt burn them!

This is Rafe at level 9 gardening. He is still in the hunt for the perfect produce.

And since it costs nothing to make a pond and stock it with fish, I treated our poor bachelor to some serenity.

He actually earned a fishing skill and caught a gold fish. Whoopie!

Time for his visitation with Julio. Busy place...

Obviously, we know where Rafe stands with Gracie.

Rafe's playtime was interrupted by what he thought was another "caller" for Gracie.

Turns out Rodney Singleton LIVES with Gracie and she is preggers with his baby. Now I see her urgency for Rafe to take Julio.

Rafe comforts Julio with the knowledge that he grows up in one more day.

Awww! Can't you see he wants his daddy?!
