The next few days after Rapunzel’s death left the house in mourning. Shey’s way of coping was to spend as much time teaching his daughter important skills or spending his time improving his body and mind. There where times, however, when he wasn’t busy he was filled with grief.
Sherman continued with improving his painting skill. He felt closer to his wife when he was painting; it was one of her favorite past times.
Malinda kept busy with her job. She would spend hours at the chess table. Malinda was eager to advance in her job and she loved the work.
Bianca took comfort in the arms of Dimitri. He was very understanding of her situation and with his own parents nearing the end of their life he too understood the emotions running through her.
Bianca felt she could spend the rest of her life with this man. She felt a closeness to him that she didn’t with Max. And being the brother of her sister-in-law he was family already and that added an extra layer of closeness. He loved music as her mother did and she loved to hear him play and fill the house up with sound. After her mother’s death the house had become too quiet, except for the nursery where Ruth played.
After much deliberation, which she felt necessary to avoid another mishap, she decided she couldn’t imagine spending the rest of her life without Dimitri in it. She proposed and of course he accepted and they were soon married. The excitement of the night was to grow as Bianca went into labor only seconds after she and Dimitri said their vows.
The excitement the proposal made compounded with Bianca going into labor overwhelmed Dimitri. He soon put himself to rights so that he could be of use to Bianca. Dimitri never went through such an experience and amazed at the strength his wife possessed.
After what seemed like an eternity from Bianca’s pint of view, Prince Grant was born. Bianca chose Grant’s name from a book she read as a child Point Farmer: The Story of Grant Rodiek. Bianca felt that this was an proper name considering his father, Max, was a farmer and Bianca had in interest in plants.
After his wife and child, for Dimitri accepted Grant as his own, were setteled Dimitri composed a song for them. The house was filled with music once more and it put every one at ease again. The house was starting to feel forlorn without music flowing through the house.
Sherman’s mood improved enough to step away from his painting to spend time with his granddaughter. He still mourned for his wife but he still had his life to live and 
wanted to spend what time he had left with his children and grandchildren. The house hold was getting back to normal.
Soon it was time for Grant’s and Hershey’s birthday. The family decided on a small birthday with only the sims in the household in attendance.
Grant turned into a cute toddler who looked quite a lot like his uncle Hershey did at that age. Grant, like his Uncle Jack, liked the color pink-hot pink that is. Grant is an extremely excitable and friendly toddler. He is amazed with everything and looks at the world in wonder.
Dimitri made sure that he spent time with his step-son. Dimitri had an excellent relationship with his own late father and wanted the same with Grant. Dimitri loved 
spending time with his son he was such an easy going child and it was easy to teach him his skills. Grant was a quick learner and his favorite toy was the logic box.
Sherman was inspired to do a painting for the nursery, which was very much needed since there was only one 
painting in the room. The colors he chose were bright and beautiful and fit with Ruth’s and Grant’s personality.
Soon the house was to grow bigger and more boisterous. Dimitri couldn’t hid his enthusiasm. He was already a father to Grant and delighted in teaching him things however he was over joyed at the prospect of having a child related to him through blood. To see a family resemblance in his child is something that he missed with Grant.
Bianca decided to make use of her skill in nectar making to make a special batch to celebrate the 3 most important events to take place in her life: Her son’s birth, marrying the love of her life, and the upcoming birth of her second child. He life was more than wonderful she just wished her mother was here to share her joy with.
