the little things
Julian & Bea are finding the key to managing their newfound responsibilities is slowing down the pace & trying to be present in every moment. It's somehow making the time fly even faster.
in this together
A lot of work is being put into making sure that Eden has everything she needs. Spooky day takes a back burner to finishing work projects and turns taking care of the little peanut, though they manage to give out candy to a couple of cute pirates. Even exhausted at the end of night, Julian & Bea still manage to find a few moments to come back to each other. đź–¤
the center of our universe
Just like that, there's a whole reason to exist. Julian & Bea are over the moon to have this baby in their arms at last. After a lifetime of waiting, Julian has the kind of family he's always wanted and he vows to give his them everything he can. Welcome to the world little Eden!
the start of something new
Bea was feeling a bit out of sorts, so they headed to the hospital make sure everything's okay with the baby. Turns out - she's in labor! It's the hardest thing Bea has ever had to do, but Julian is the most supportive birth partner. When it's time to push Bea is feeling ready to meet their little nugget more than ever.
a home all our own
Summer turns to autumn as Julian pours himself into building the home his family will grow together in. It's a tiny place for now, but he has big plans for the years to come. Some intense saving and a whole lot of dumpster diving will have them blending in with the block in no time!

first doctor's visit
Seeing their baby for the first time fills Julian with a feeling he's never known before. All the dreams he has for the future are now goals he must reach for his budding family. He vows to give his child everything he never had, most importantly his unconditional love.
night on the town
What better way to celebrate the big news than free food and a little dancing. Bea gets a bit overwhelmed in the crowd and finds a quiet place to collect herself. Right behind her is Julian, to make sure that she's okay. They're so in love it's a little nauseating, but who cares? Julian has never been this happy.
everything's about to change
Bea's been feeling a little off lately and decides to take a pregnancy test. She's pregnant! Although this isn't the perfect time to be expecting a baby, with Julian's support and excitement they're both feeling confident they can put in the work to be prepared for when their little bundle of joy arrives.
summer celebration 2/2
Julian wants this first holiday together to be one to remember - and boy is it! He asks Bea to make it official & be his girlfriend. When she says yes they do a little bit of freegan approved celebrating, if you know what I mean...
summer celebration 1/2
Despite the summer holiday, Julian & Bea are sure to squeeze in a little work before a bit of fun in the sun with the Tinkers. Julian feels like they could soon be close friends with the like-minded couple!
just trucking along
Julian works hard saving money for his dream of building his forever home. Bea wants to do her part and starts selling paintings to galleries online. There are bumps along the way, but they're getting along so well - it's nice to just have someone to exist with.
summer lovin'
Like something out of a movie, Julian & Bea spend a hot summer day just enjoying each other's company at the community space in Conifer Station. He knows it's still too soon to say it out loud, but Julian is positive he's in love with Bea.

move in with me?
Some might say it's bold to go from let's hang out to move in with me in the same day, but Julian doesn't care what anyone would think. He cares about Bea and that already makes her family in his eyes. It's hard not to swept in by a sim so passionate.
creative solutions
One day Julian returns to his tent site to find it's been cleared out quite a bit with a sign saying it will be turned into a new green park - he'll have to go somewhere else until he can afford to start building his own tiny home. Inspiration strikes and Julian gathers up his few belongings to head over to the factory where he manages to fix himself up little place to live for now. It's not permanent since this place will renovated soon too, that just means he'll have to put in a lot of hard work to be ready when it's time.
one rainy night
A summer storm forces Julian to spend the night in the factory. When looking for somewhere to sleep, he comes across Bea on an old mattress and they spend the rest of the rainy night sharing their life stories before they ended up here. For the first time in his life Julian feels like something has fallen into place for him.
meeting again
And just like that - there she is again. She's got her defenses up, but Julian quickly pulls out the goofball underneath. Although she doesn't say much, he learns her name is Bea & she's also new to Evergreen Harbor and that's enough - for now they just watch the clouds roll by.
love at first sight
Julian heads back to the caboose station, where he spots the most lovely woman he's ever seen. Talking to her doesn't go very well, but he hopes that this isn't the only time their paths will cross. Call it whatever you want, something tells Julian there's something there.
musings of a daydreamer
A new day brings Julian back to conquer the fabricator and Tina Tinker finds him working amongst debris. She explains that this building will actually be turned into a community space, which Julian takes an invitation to tell her alllll of the things he thinks it would be great to include!
a failed attempt
After chatting with his first client Julian heads back to the abandoned factory to get to work on his first rug. Unfortunately, the fabricator had other ideas...
welcome to the neighborhood
Julian wakes up early every day to get the best pickings from the dumpsters behind the abandoned factory. The Tinkers tell him about the local community boards where he posts an ad for his freelance fabrication services and goes to use a public computer to get the word out online!

The Beginning
Our story begins as most stories do.. with endurance.Â
You are homeless.Â
You’ve gone out into the world with nothing but a tent and a dream. As a child you never had your own home. You were bounced from place to place, always dreaming of a suburban home to call your own. With a family of your own.Â
As you have since you were a young child, you long for a life of normalcy. You are tired of everything around you being turbulent and broken. So you search for joy in the mundane.
