Generation One: Chapter Three

So you remember what happened last time, right? Quinn and Leighton got hitched in front of the fountain in the wee hours of the morning? Well, if not, here's a recap.

Well, now that Leighton was part of the family, I had to give him a makeover.

I think he looks MUCH better, don't you? ;)

Since they'd stayed up all night getting engaged (and then married), the newlyweds were exhausted, so I sent them home for a little R&R before work that day. Leighton, having a bike in his inventory when they got married, decided he'd rather ride that all the way home than take the subway with his beloved. Already turning out to be a wonderful hubby, isn't he? -sarcasm- u_u

Really, Quinn? The subway, in your wedding dress??

Now, since marrying Leighton gave Quinn an extra 4,000 simoleons or so, I decided they deserved something a little more cozy to stay in. So... ta-da! It's your very own house, complete with cheap furniture and crappy appliances!

Well, it's better than nothing, right?

Quinn decided, upon seeing the new setup, that she wanted to cook some food before heading off to work (because apparently it takes three hours on the subway to get home). Did hubby help out? No. He sat around jamming on the guitar the whole time (had I known he had one, I wouldn't have bought Quinny one as well >_< ). She didn't even have time to finish cooking before her ride was there.

If he keeps that up, the honeymoon'll be short-lived.

So, rather than have him continue rocking out and earning a skill he doesn't need (he wants to have five kids, and he's in the athletics career; guitar is NOT going to benefit him), I sent him off to the gym to buff up.

Hah. Fail. xD

By the time he'd exhausted himself, Quinn had already left work and gone home, so after a quick bite to eat I sent Leighton to join her. Maybe they could have a bit of a honeymoon after all?

... Or not. Apparently Quinny was too exhausted to wait up for her new man, because she was passed out in bed by the time Leighton rode in. They both had work the next day, so Leighton decided he ought to go to sleep as well.

Aww, ain't that just adorable? ^_^

Finally got to make that autumn salad, eh? After it's been sitting out... all day yesterday... and all evening... :x (And once again, Hubby is jammin' out. What's wrong with this picture?!)

After breakfast Quinn decided to join in on the jam session

And then they had to work (yet for some reason it took them FOREVER to change into their work clothes and leave - long enough, at least, for Leighton to complain about being sore (wimp) and for Quinn to admire the ring on her left hand for the umpteenth time).

So after a long day of work, somebody rolled a want to pillow fight (actually, it might have been both of them).

And somehow, pillow fighting led to kissing...

... and kissing led to gettin' frisky...

Which led to bedtime. O_o Silly sims, bedtime is for wimps. :D

The next morning, after a quick woohoo,

Yup. Time for work. Afterwards Quinn headed to the park to see if maybe she could rack up some tips, but she wasn't feeling so hot and left shortly afterwards (ie. shortly after fulfilling the wish she'd rolled ;P ).

What's this? Quinn throwing up, random wishes for food and massages... O_O Uh-oh! Somebody's preggerz! Better go tell daddy!

... Or you could go to the spa. o_O

I think Quinn was trying to avoid telling Hubby about the new addition to the family, because when she got back from the spa they went out on a little date (I love generations <3 :D). Although how he could NOT know is beyond me. I mean, really; who would actually WANT to wear that outfit in public?? *yikes!*

She still hadn't told him when he left for work the next morning. Come on, Quinn. Grow a backbone! He already has one kid (that I just found out about - although there's no mom listed, so... o-o; ); what harm will another do? Especially when Grammy's raising the first one.

 But by day's end she finally worked up the nerve to tell him. He seemed excited enough, feeling her tummy, listening and talking to it. Making funny faces so as not to stress out Mumsie.

Now, let me just explain something real quick. For some reason, Quinn never got that -zoom in, ooh, look, I'm preggerz!- thing, so subsequently there was no 'Pregnant' moodlet. I added it at one point but feared that might screw it up, so I removed it (also fearing I'd jacked up the game). But thankfully the next morning:

Oh, thank god! -phew!- Everything's right on schedule. Just like Leighton's favorite soap.

What a jerk. Sittin' on his ass watching tv while his wife's going into labor. Talk about your epic fails.

But finally, little Caleb Herondale was born - the first in a (probably) long line of kids to come. :) He'd be absolutely adorable without that damn dent on the side of his head. >_<

Leighton left for work shortly before his son was born, so he missed the big party, but he and Quinn 'celebrated' when he got home.

You horn dog. >_>

Now, the way I have my age settings, babies only live for about a day before they age up (because they're useless, lumpy little pastel worms), so the next evening after everyone got home from work was Caleb's birthday (due to the freaky glitch, mom continued to work throughout this pregnancy - which is annoying, since I wasn't using a mod for that).

Yikes! What's with that hair?! And those clothes?! Oh, boy, you need a makeover ASAP!

NOW you're pinchable. :) And appropriately color-coordinated. :P

First thing's first: potty training. Mom made short work of that task.

With plenty of time left to woohoo before bed, apparently. O_O (Don't they ever stop??)

Daddy had to go to work the next day (he had a big game coming up), so Quinn and Caleb went for a little stroll around the neighborhood. And yet she felt a little queasy for some reason. Which made no sense, because the food in the fridge was perfectly safe (no green hazes floating out, at least).

She (and I) only just realized what was going on shortly after she laid down for her nap. I was confused at first, because she climbed out of bed without any prompting from me. And then she changed clothes.

.......

O_O

NOT AGAIN!
