Thank god she had a Guzmania Pollenis flower to distract them while she ran for dear life!!  Ain't nobody got time for that!! ​

Mavis just arrived in Selvadorada for her VERY first trip after her retirement & BOY is it beautiful ! 

The last time that we checked in on the 'Is This Luck Story', Apifanie was working at the Grand Lux Hospital where she accidentally walked in during the delivery of a child that just so happened to belong to the love her life, Major. It has been some time now, and Apifanie has picked up the pieces of her crazy life. At first she was bitter, but eventually, her heart healed, As time passed, Apifanie's daughter, Ne'Aijah grew into a beautiful young girl. She was 10 years old now and smart as ever! She was the apple of Apifanie's eye, did well in school and was obedient (most of the time). 

​​ ​Apifnanie was pleased at the way that time had worked in her favorite. Things were bad at one point, but she worked at them and even though her life wasn't perfect, she felt that she was doing a great job at providing for her daughter and setting a good example of what a strong, indpenedent woman was capable of. 

 Apifanie focused on her career. Even though walking in on Major having a baby with another woman in the delivery room while at work had been been mortifying, she didn't allow it to stop her from following her dreams. Apifanie used these last four years to work her way up to Assistant nurse and was excelling quickly in her career. She couldn't wait to climb the ladder and be the great doctor that she knew she could be.  When she won the lottery years ago, she never left the gas station that she worked at. Working at the hospital was a level up and she had even met some new friends. One of which was her best friend Damian Sanders. 

Damian had been a part of Apifanie's life for over three years now. Everyone at work said that Apifanie and Damian should be together, but they enjoyed their pure friendship. The two of them just clicked. Not in a sexual way but in a spiritual way. Over the years, they had laughed, cried, shopped and got drunk together and it all started over the two of them fighting over a Twinkie at Grand Lux hospital almost 3 years ago. Ne'Aijah and Dame also had an instantaneous bond. She was crazy about him and enjoyed spending Saturday afternoon's shopping with her Mom and Uncle Dame! 

Today was no different. Apifanie walked into work, ready to take on the day. She was assigned to the ER room today, so she was sure that her day would be unpredictable. She smiled when she walked in and saw Damian smiling at her from the front desk! 

"Happy Best Friend-a-versary!!! Damien said, grinning at his best friend. Apifanie had been nothing but pure joy since the moment she had waltzed into his life. Today marked their 3 year anniversary of friendship and tonight Apifanie, Ne'Aijah and Damien had a huge dinner planned that would have all of their favorite foods to celebrate.  

​"Happy Friend-a-versary, bestie." Apifanie said, smiling from ear to ear! 

"I'm so excited! I've got something really exciting to share with you two tonight!" Damian said! 

The excitement in his voice made Apifanie giddy! "What are you up to?" She asked. He'd officially sparked her curiosity. 

"Well, I guess you will just have to wait and find out tonight..." Damian teased!

Apifanie playfully poked her lip out to show his dismay.

"Now, I picked up some coffee for you this morning when I picked up mines. It's sitting on your desk in your office. But, if I were you, I'd hurry to room B5. Doctor Sullivan is expecting you to debrief the other nurses about the surgery and it is scheduled to start in 45 minutes." he said listing off her agenda for the morning as he followed her to the surgery room. This was part of the reason why Damien was her best friend. Not only was he fun, but he had a professional side that kept sharp and on her feet. 

"Okay, thank you bestie." Apifanie said, kissing Damiens cheek and rushing off to assist the doctor. I'll see you later on tonight!" She said, leaving Damien standing in the hospital hallway, smiling. 

It wasn't unusual to find Major's car parked outside Apifanie's house when she arrived home from work, because he came to see her just about every day. When she arrived home today though, she was annoyed to see him there. They were just finishing up on homework when Damian arrived for the special dinner they had planned. Damian wasn't surprised to see Major either. They had saw each other from time to time. Major wasn't a fan of Damian and Damian wasn't a fan of Major. But, they dealt with each other and were cordial for the sake of Ne'Aijah. 

Not being the least bit intimidated by Major's presence, Damian sat down at the table with Major.

"What's going on, Bro?" Major said, aggressivley. As if to somehow scare Damian, but Damion didn't stunt him one bit. 

"Nothin' much. Just came over to celebrate with Apifanie & Ne'Aijah." 

"Oh we celebrating! What for?" Major asked.  

At no point did he use the word 'we'. Major was not included in these plans. Damian looked around at Ne'Aijah and Apifanie who seemed to feel the tension in the air. 

"Well..." Damian cleared his throat. "We're celebrating our friendship for the last three years." 

The look on Major's face seemed stunned "Oh." He said, jealousy laced deep in his voice. 

Damian continued... "I was going to wait until you left. But, since you asked, I also was going to share some really big news..." 

"Oh yeah, what's that?" Major asked through gritted teeth. 

"I bought tickets for Ne'Aijah, Apifanie and I to go to Cancun this year, to celebrate!" he said, smartly. While Damian knew that he could have waited to release all fo that information, he did this all on purpose. He had saw Apifanie weep-a-many nights behind Major. Damian felt that it was his turn to feel the burn this time. 

The entire room was shocked! Apifanie and Ne'Aijah cheered with excitement, but for Major, the room was spinning. All that he could think about was another man taking his baby momma and his child to an island, far far away and how there was nothing that he could do about it... 

On Tuesday, July 19th, 2046 Bratilda gave birth to an amazing, 8 pounds, 4 ounce, bouncing beautiful baby boy and named him Maverick Jafar Ricci. Major was actually there to experience Bratilda giving  birth to his son. And his presence made made Bratilda hopeful. For over three weeks, Major was nice to Bratilda, caring for her hand in foot and he refused to  leave her or the babies side. 

​Bratilda assumed that his sudden change of heart came from him experiencing the beauty of a woman bringing a child into this world. Little did she know, Major only stuck around because he felt guilty. He was so happy to be a father, but he wasn't proud of the way that all of this happened. All of this was short lived though, because ​Maverick was only a total of 3 weeks old when Major reverted back into his old ways and stopped calling or coming by to check on him. 

Bratilda was heartbroken. She didn't have any friends or family to count on and this was her first experience as a mother, so the days were long and hard but in her mind, she truly felt that one day, Major would come crawling to her to be with her and Maverick. Even though she'd set Major up, after only knowing him for two hours, poking holes in his condom to get pregnant on purpose, She was convinced Major was the man of her dreams. And, she had it in her mind that regardless of how bad he treated her now, it was only temporary. One day she knew Major would come to his sense and when he did,.. she would be there waiting for him; They would be one big happy family. Just her, Maverick and Major. She just knew it... 

Even though it'd been almost a month, Apifanie's heart was still shattered in pieces. She couldn't' BELIEVE Major had lied to her all this time. She thought that he was a changed man. She thoguht that he really loved her, but to walk into the delivery room to see him having a baby with another was an ultimate slap in the face. Apefanie wasn't sure what the future brought but she knew one thing- It did NOT include Major trifling ass. 

NOTE TO READERS: Is it me or is Ms. Bratilda getting a little out of control? I mean sis had her moment when she gave birth! But now, I thinks that she's being a little obsessive over Major. I mean, It appears that he just ain't no damn good!! Why won't she let that man go on about his business, raise her son on her own and find her a new boo? CHILE! She is almost fixated on the poor man!! On a different note - Is anyone else crazy about little Baby Mav? He is so cute! And I'm truly feelin' for Apifanie right now! Idk WHAT's FINNA HAPPEN NEXXT!!  Stay tuned guys! Working on next chapter (which will be absolutely epic) as we speak! Thanks for reading the 'Is This Luck' Sim Lit Series!!!
