Once upon a time, before the military, Colby dreamed of having kids. He thought it was impossible because even back then, he knew he was gay. And back then, science babies didn't exist. But now.. he has a peaceful farm, the love of his life, and a child. What more is there?
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
Despite not having met another alien, there are certain things that Tucker just knows, a genetic memory he's theorized. Once pushing past the initial shock, Colby is overjoyed that they're going to have a child.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
The biggest shock comes later when Tucker announces that he's pregnant. After shock from Colby, he explains that only the males of his people can get pregnant. That's why when abducted, only male sims are impregnated. It's not just biological but cultural.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
After that revelation, things settle down again. Colby promises he'll protect Tucker any way he can. Soon he wants to prove that with more than just words and proposes. Tucker accepts, and they elope, not needing a big shindig for just the two of them.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
After everything he's been through, it might be surprising that Colby doesn't have any prejudices, in the end he doesn't care if Tucker is an alien or not, as long as he isn't lying about his motives. Tucker promises it doesn't. All he's ever known was this world.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
At least, that's as much as Tucker has been able to figure out. His mothers found him and took him in, not caring if he was an alien. Even as a baby, he's told, he learned to disguise himself, to look like his parents and blend in better.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
Tucker is the result of an alien abduction. The man who gave birth to him couldn't handle the thought of raising a child from a somewhat traumatizing experience. His wife was equally disturbed. They decided to abandon Tucker in Chestnut Ridge after he was born.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
Colby is no dummy, he worked too long learning about the different occults of this world to not recognize the signs. When he finally confronts Tucker about it, the younger man comes clean. He's an alien.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
It goes very well. Eventually Tucker moves in, continuing to help Colby out with the ranch, but no longer an employee. Him being around all the time however, means that his secret becomes impossible to hide.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
Now that he has to worry less about Jake, since he's settled down, Colby finally allows himself to relax. And despite the obvious age gap, Colby decides to flirt back with Tucker and see how it goes. He, at least, isn't getting any younger.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
Thankfully Colby doesn't have to do any of it alone anymore. He had hired a ranch hand from town, Tucker Dyson, and to his surprise the young man had started to flirt with him after just a few months of helping out. He has to admit, he's always been a sucker for a blond.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
Colby's life hasn't changed all that much in the last few years. He's still running his ranch somewhat successfully. It pays the bills and keeps food on the table at least. That's more than can be said for a lot of people starting out.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
The one thing he doesn't have and doesn't want, is a companion. Oh, Rocco has flings, one night stands and friends with benefits. He's just not willing to share himself the way you have to in a relationship. He's happy just the way he is.
#alphateam4 #lyonslegacy
The first floor, Rocco turned into a bar of his very own. A place where people could get good drinks at decent prices and enjoy genuine atmosphere. And so far it's paid off for him. He's got regulars and new people are drawn in off the street every night.
#alphateam4 #lyonslegacy
Not having to make a huge profit certainly made it easier to sell the buildings at a decent price. Which left Rocco one of the buildings for his own project. The top 2 floors he turned into a loft apartment for himself.
#alphateam4 #lyonslegacy
It took time and money but Rocco got the buildings cleaned up and fixed enough to be safe. The one on the corner he sold to someone wanting someplace for a fancy cafe, and the one in the middle he managed to sell as well.
#alphateam4 #lyonslegacy
After tracking down the company that owned the buildings it wasn't hard for Rocco to make a good deal with them. They wanted to get rid of the run down area to avoid responsibility and upkeep, and Rocco wanted something of his own.
#alphateam4 #lyonslegacy
Eventually Rocco got a job bartending at a local club, but every night when he came home, he passed by a couple of abandoned buildings with shop fronts. They gave him an idea, but he needed time to think and do a little research first.
#alphateam4 #lyonslegacy
The problem is that Rocco got bored. He stuck around in San Myshuno so his friends and former teammates would be able to find him. It's been a while since they have been as close as they are now, but it's comforting to have that comradery again.
#alphateam4 #lyonslegacy
It took some time for Rocco to figure out what to do with his life now that he no longer has the military and he's not working for Bancroft anymore. His savings from both are substantial so it wasn't a pressing issue.
#alphateam4 #lyonslegacy
Nine months later, Derrick is holding his daughter, baby Iris in his arms and feeling like the luckiest man in the world. There's nothing better he can think about for his life.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
Derrick never thought of himself as a father. He never allowed himself to think far enough ahead. Learning that he'll have a child with the woman he loves is more than he could have ever expected.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
For the first time in a long time, Derrick feels well and truly happy. A weight was off his shoulders and he enjoyed every day as much as he could. It was a bit of a shock one day when Karissa came to tell him she's pregnant.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
It didn't keep Derrick from falling in love and fairly quickly, he had asked Karissa to move in with him, and then proposed. She accepted, but explained marriage wasn't a thing among her people. It made Derrick rethink his own views. Did he want to marry?
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
Eventually Derrick meets a woman, Karissa. The most beautiful woman he's seen. It doesn't take long for him to put two and two together. He was an occult specialist for most of his adult life afterall. His Karissa is a mermaid.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
Derrick started going for jogs or walks by the water almost every day and a few times he thought he saw something out in the water, a flick of a fin in the water. A splash with no source. A ripple in the water or a shadow under the waves.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
Once he got settled and furnished the place, Derrick invited Colby and Rocco over to visit with him and celebrate his birthday. Chase was always the baby of the outfit, but he was next youngest. Now he's finally Over The Hill, as Colby joked.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
Taking what money he had, Derrick decides to move to Tartosa. Warm, lush with greenery and right next to the ocean. Pretty far away from the desert he's lived in for so long. The house needs a little work but he needs some projects anyway.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
Derrick's life has changed a lot in the last few years. He finally left the military. A combination of retirement and medical discharge after he got injured investigating a murderous cult of Spellcasters.
#lyonslegacy #alphateam4
Derrick and the other boys have had a lot of changes in their lives as well. First, lets check in with Derrick.
