In order to immerse myself in futuristic culture I decided to moonlight as a bartender at one of the lounges.
The bar was starting to get busy enough to activate the plumbots with happy hour approaching and the music tonight's musician was putting out.
The fuchia toned artist was very energetic on the laser rhythm-a-con, a musical instrument that was all the rave in the future. Most of the patrons were on the dance floor dancing to her beat.
She was also a familiar face.
I had run into her the day before while looking at the hologram statues in Legacy Park. I was checking to see if Alesia's oldest daughter Eboni had achieved her goal of becoming a lustrous entertainer.
If I recalled correctly her name was Leila Ybarr and she hoped to get her own legacy statue someday too.
"Hey lady, fancy seeing you here. Can I get a glass of sass please?"
"You sure can, your name was Leila right?" I asked and she nodded. "It's on the house, you put on an amazing show tonight."
"Thanks! Say has anyone ever told you that you look just Aphrodite from way back when?" I chuckled pleased that even this far into the future people still remembered my lovely face.
"Actually I am Aphrodite," I replied. "My children have been telling me about Oasis Landing for the longest so I finally decided to see it for myself."
"Oh my goddess! We need to go have lunch together like right now."
It turned out Leila was a complete history buff and a big fan of mine.
"I can't believe I'm having lunch with the Aphrodite Divine."
"Modern goddess, savior of cursed souls and full time mother. I'm going to tell everyone that I got to meet you in person." She sang out grinning from ear to ear.
"Oh Leila stop it! You're making me blush." Actually I was loving every minute of it.
"Are you kidding me!?! You are basically a superhero that grants wishes."
"And you go around light zapping zombies on nights the moon is full."
"That all is true but in my time I'm still working on rescuing most of the spirits from the witch's curse."
It was then Leila gasped in excitement with true fan girl flare as an idea sprang into her head.
"Aphrodite we should definitely have a baby together!" Leila exclaimed shocking me and that is in no way an easy feat.
"Ummm...Leila I'm really flattered but unless you're working with a lot more than what my eye can see I'm not willing to channel the amount of energy needed to make that happen. It's nothing against you personally it's just back in the day we went a bit overboard slapping species together. We got power drunk, wars were fought, civilizations crumbled, all things I'm sure you've read about. It's just wasn't pretty and not some thing anyone wants to go though again."
"Oh no! You wouldn't have to do anything risky like that. We have technology." Leila said waving away my worries. "We can go to the hospital and science center to have one engineered. It only takes a few hours and my cousin Ned is a mad scientist there, he can give us a really good discount."
Oh my me, the things mortals come up with with their technology! "Well if it's that easy why not."
On our way to the hospital and science center I tried to find out if there was anything I could do for Leila but she was having none of it.
"Are you kidding me? I'm going to be the parent of one of Aphrodite's 100 children of love and once I write about this on my holo-blog my followers will jet out and my subscriptions are going to go interstellar. Oh by the way I'm part fairy on my mother's side so wings are possible."
The procedure for engineering a baby was very simple and speedy. They took DNA samples from both of us then we decided on the gender of the baby and what our little bundle would look like.
Leila was so excited she talked non-stop about baby names and the genetic possibilities for our child while blogging about the whole experience.
Laser Light Leila's Holo-blog
Everyone I have out of this world news! I met the divine love goddess Aphrodite after my gig and became one of her chosen ones! At this very moment I'm in the process of becoming a mother. Our pretty pink princess Nella will be ready in only a few hours. Tons of holo pics coming soon!
The facility had an in house spa that pampered parents to be as they waited for their little ones. We both got manni/peddis and Leila got a tattoo with Nella's name and birth date.
Once Nella was ready Leila and I took her to meet her grandparents in person. Leila's mother and father were just as eccentric and passionate about the arts as their daughter. They were thrilled with their new granddaughter and had commissioned a nannybot for Nella. We took tons of pictures together and had a lovely dinner before I returned home though the time portal.
All in all it was the most entertaining birthing experience I'd ever had.
"We're home now Nella, all your brothers and sisters are just going to adore you."

Hey Sims fans long time no see and holy cowplant over 9,000 views on the blog!!! No words but THANK YOU for taking the time visit with Aphrodite and the kids. I know it's been a really long time but as you can see I was able to save my game. Yay! The Sims 4 also came out a few months ago and I just had to check that out since I got it as a gift. Lately I've been crocheting gifts like mad but still wanted to get in a quick update before the holiday season to let you all know Aphrodite is still at it. Thanks so very much for taking a peek at my blog. Happy Simming and holidays to all!!
