Caliente Family Round 1
Back to: Goth Family Round 1 Next: Lothario Family Round 1
Welcome to Round 1 of the Caliente family.


The notorious sisters are due some fun & some struggle in this chapter. WOT rolled Back Taxes - Deduct random rolled number times 9 from household funds. Nina rolled 2 children while Dina rolled 1.

*The randomly rolled number was from a randomization program set between 1 & 1000. The number turned out to be 779 x 9 = 7011 so Ill round it to an even $7000 as the tax debt they will have to settle... somehow...*



Nina is in a hurry, she just got some big news that she knows her sister will NOT appreciate.


"Dina! Did you hear? Bella Goth is back! She and Mortimer renewed their vows and she is being treated for amnesia!" Nina said in a rush. Dina gasped. All her hard work trying to attract the richest "widower" in town was now wasted! Since the death of her husband, and Bella's brother Michael Bachelor, she and her sister had just been getting by. Well, they still had time both girls were young & beautiful, they could find rich husbands still.


Dina greeted the matchmaker enthusiastically. She had some funds saved up, not a lot, but hopefully enough to make the right connection with a wealthy bachelor or two.


Nina was a little more reserved about Dina's plan to find wealthy husbands. She understood the need to be financially secure, but did she HAVE to get married? The first few dates weren't exactly what the girls were looking for, but then just as they were running out of money for the old gypsy woman, she came thru for Nina.


She introduced Nina to Armand DeBateau. Recently divorced, Well-to-do Businessman.


They hit it off pretty quickly, a couple of dates went smoothly and they made plans for a third date at a local outdoor garden restaurant.


A little caress at the table, small teasing actions thru the meal... stealing bites and sharing tastes of food.


After dinner Nina invited him to "take some pictures" and more. He happily obliged.


The gifts from Armand were impressive, first roses, then a big screen TV and then a Piano. Nina & Dina were thrilled to see such generosity


Most especially Dina who had been hiding some financial troubles from her sister.

Michael's estate wasn't in as good shape as he had led everyone to believe. He had left the Bachelor inheritance to his sister Bella. But he had also left a lot of taxes unpaid. Now Dina, as his widow, was responsible for that bill.


The last straw came when they had a break-in one evening. Both girls had been upstairs when the burglar walked right in and started rifling through their belongings.


Nina heard the commotion and called the police. The burglar was caught and nothing was stolen, but there had been some property damage.

Dina finally admitted the financial trouble they were in and they both thought hard about what to do.


Once again Dina came up with a plan. Take out a mortgage on the house! They could pay off the $7000 back taxes and remodel the house to increase its value at the same time. So they took out a $30,000 loan...


The taxes were taken care of and the remodel turned out amazing! Dina looked at is as a good investment... the new house looked better and it wouldn't appear to potential husbands that the girls were in any financial troubles.


There was even a little money left for Dina to give the Matchmaker another try. This time Geoff Rutherford showed up. Hmmm, Belladonna Cove's wealthy playboy. Dina thought she could handle him.


First a little playfulness in the hot tub.


Then just enough flirting to catch his interest.


A couple days later some fine dining! Champagne & Lobster Thermidor! Dina was thrilled with how things were going with Geoff. She could certainly get used to this lifestyle.


It didn't hurt that his smooth Romance skills made her weak in the knees as well.


The sisters were eating lunch one afternoon when Dina suggested they throw a housewarming party. "We have so many friends who haven't seen the remodel yet. We should invite everyone!"


Dina really was the perfect hostess. She invited all their friends and welcomed them to the party.


Nina ran the bar, mixing & pouring drinks for everyone. Don was quickly there, grabbing a drink and putting on his romantic charm. Nina thought it was a little forced though and wondered at the act Don was putting on.


Don was the first to head for the rented bubble machine. Nina guessed he just wanted to get floaty and forget about something. "Who wouldn't" she muttered to herself as she helped herself to a drink. Armand had been unable to attend the party and Nina was still uncomfortable with the thought of taking their relationship all the way to marriage.


The party is in full swing with refreshments, a group smustle and the bubble machine is full. Everyone is having fun, drinking and enjoying the party.


Even Nina, who's mood at the start of the party had been half-hearted, was enjoying herself now. Of course she had been running the bar and she had to make sure the drinks tasted good right? She was feeling no pain as she got into the hot tub with a group of other partiers.


People came & went from the hot tub and conversation swirled around Nina. Then things went a little fuzzy...


The next morning Nina woke up on the sofa, in her bikini, with a roaring hangover! "What happened last night?' she asked herself. She simply couldn't remember the end of the party. The house was a mess and Dina had left a note that she was out with Geoff for the day.


She took an aspirin for her headache and took a long soaking bubble bath to help her feel better.


Her uneasiness about the party followed her for the next couple weeks. She couldn't concentrate, burned food when she was actually a very good cook and already a Sous Chef at work.


Dina was hardly around and when she was Geoff was with her. So Nina had no one to talk to, she wasn't sure she wanted to know how the party ended anyway.


Her appetite increased and she lost all interest in trying to cook anything. Sometimes she would just stuff her face from the refrigerator.


Other times she would pick up junk-food from the corner market. She was just stress-eating she told herself.


Then came the day she couldn't lie to herself any longer. She was pregnant. But who's is it? Armand and I fooled around in that photo booth, so it could be his. But what happened at the party? Did I sleep with someone?


Nina didn't know what move to make, she had found a cute maternity top and sandals were much more comfortable on her swollen feet. She had to let Armand know about the baby... or did she? She spent the next few weeks avoiding Armand simply talking to him on the phone and turning down dates, claiming she was busy with her job.


Her decision was made for her a few weeks later. Geoff left another gift of roses for Dina after one of their many dates... but this one had a different message. "Marry Me" was all it said.


That was all Dina needed to see. She packed up her belongings and moved in with Geoff that same week. Nina was dismayed to find herself on her own, with a mortgage and a baby on the way.


Finally gathering up her courage she called Armand and apologized for avoiding him. "I've been so busy with work and my chef classes." she told him. "There is also something very important I have to tell you, could you come over for dinner?"


Nina was almost in tears by the time Armand arrived. She needn't have worried though. He was happy to see her and even happier about the pregnancy.


"My baby... you have my little baby in there and I will take care of both of you." Nina figured it was for the best to let him think it was without a doubt his child. She could keep her doubts to herself.


Armand proposed to her right there. "Forget about dinner sweetheart. Marry me Nina, make me a happy man?" "Yes, I'll marry you Armand!" Nina nervously said.


Armand didn't give her any time to get more nervous, they went downtown to a Justice of the Peace and got married that very afternoon. Nina had a small breakdown when they got home... but she pulled herself together before Armand could notice.


Snuggling with him later that evening, Nina still wasn't sure about being a wife, but the feeling of security in his arms was a very nice feeling. The worry that had been part of her life for the last couple of months melted away.


After their honeymoon, Armand's teenage daughter joined them. Tara was a very energetic, colorful creature. She was quite cheerful and absolutely gaga over the thought of becoming a big sister.


Tara laid claim to the downstairs bedroom and made it her own in no time. She was very artistic and creative. Nina liked her style.


Nina continued working on her cooking skills. The pressure was off, money wise, but she still thought it would be a great accomplishment if she could become a Master Chef.


As her pregnancy progressed she had time off to study and improve her skills. She would be prime for promotion when she came back from her maternity leave.


Armand was as good as his word. He was taking care of everything. He paid off the mortgage and had another bedroom added to the house for the new baby.


Nina's pregnancy was going well, she had almost no morning sickness and other than her increase in appetite felt wonderful.


There were days that her energy was low. That was to be expected. She passed the time watching the Yummy channel so her time wouldn't be wasted.


The day is here at last! Nina is in labor!


Welcome a little girl! Baby Elena DeBateau. Hmmm, she has her mother's skin tone & eyes, but black hair? Who's that from?

This is the end of the Caliente Round 1. Future rounds of this family will be DeBateau as there will be no more Caliente family. The questions we ask now are... Is Elena really Armand's daughter? What did happen at that party & will Armand find out? How will Tara fit in to her new home and school?

Next family is the Lothario household. WOT for Don is... well it will be a surprise...
