Generation One: Chapter Seven

So thanks to the fact that Quinn and Leighton can't keep their hands off each other (and maybe thanks to a mod or two xP), Quinn is now in the family way. AGAIN. This is the last time, I mean it! Swear to god, if I find you preggerz again Quinn I'm gonna kill you off prematurely! *evil eye*

Anyway. While Quinn slept (finding out you're having ANOTHER child is exhausting) Leighton decided that since the little ones were aging up today, he needed to finish teaching them those life lessons that everyone ought to know. So he taught Loryn how to walk,

and got a head start with Adam (Quinn will finish Adam's walking skill, since she has a wish for that).

And wouldn't you know that as soon as Leighton has to do any real work around the house, it's time for work? Well thankfully Quinn woke up at the same time (fully rested, I might add - at ten to three in the afternoon), probably as irked about Leighton's job as I am. I can just imagine what she's thinking: "One of these days, one of my girls is gonna rule the world and then men will have to do EVERYTHING for us women..." *insert evil laughter here*

And who would show up, but the stalkerazzi and her too-young-for-you hoodie.

Good thing she didn't decide to become a Stylist. >_>

Well, despite the stalkerazzi's ever-watchful eye, Quinn was able to teach Loryn some of the more important lessons in life.

Like what happens when you do something bad: the judge will bang the gavel and send you to jail. And then you'll be bombarded by stalkerazzi on the way out of the courthouse. :O

In the middle of all this discussion of right and wrong (or, as some like to think of it, right and getting caught), the house took on this yellow-ish hue. Confused, I zoomed out a bit and this is what I saw:

Ghosties! Bring on the Halloween music! >:D

Ahemm.... o-O; Anyway.

Caleb wanted to throw a slumber party, so I had him call up his friends. ... Or, friend. O_o; Turns out there's only one kid on the entire relationship panel... and it's LEIGHTON's acquaintance. ... Well, better than nothin', I suppose. So Caleb invited him over for a slumber party - not even realizing his house was being exorcised.

Meanwhile, Quinn's slacking on her teaching duties, and Leighton just rolled a midlife crisis wish to change jobs. Just for the hell of it, I'm going to make him join the Criminal career. >:D Hey - you get free stuff occasionally, and he already has the athletic trait. It's a win-win. :)

As Leighton was leaving, Caleb's little friend showed up at the door - and Caleb rolled a wish to bring a sim a drink?! He can't drink! He's a child, for Merlin's sake! >_< Stupid random wishes. (Hahaha. Caleb invited this kid to the sleepover and wants to use the Friendly Introduction interaction. xD Fail.)

Adam just informed me that he's about to age up (thankfully I think we got him all trained), and then I realized that the ghost hunter, who finished exorcising the lot an hour ago, is making herself right at home.

Umm, NO! D:< Stupid NPC's, eatin' all mah food...

Anyway, I went to check on Adam, so I double-clicked on his panel picture, and...

He's BALD? Oh, hell no!

Better. Lovin' the penguin, too. :P

Then it was Loryn's turn.

She doesn't look too happy about her crappy 'do and the ugly, mismatched clothes... Don't worry, dear. We'll rectify that fashion error shortly. :)

Not too bad for a fashion-challenged person like me, eh, Lor? xP

So since we have two little girls in the house now, Kathryn's gonna have to learn to sleep with bunk beds (Adam can just take Sam's old bed since he's out of the house now.) I can't afford to make ANOTHER room, and I need the nursery for the new bab(y/ies).

Now, remember how Caleb decided to have a slumber party? Well, apparently his parents weren't cool enough to sleep under the same roof as the boys, because they went aaaaaaaall the way over there to the back of the lot to sleep. O_o

They weren't the only Herondales to sleep in odd places that night, though. It seems Adam and Loryn (even though I specifically directed her to the new BUNK BED I spent minutes painstakingly recoloring) both decided to camp out in the tree house and have their own slumber party (since, at the time, they were too young to be invited to their big brother's). I find this sort of adorable, especially since they're twins. ^_^ Maybe they'll be close growing up?

The next morning Lemar left early (that was the kid's name - Lemar), and eventually the school bus showed up to take Caleb (whose birthday was today), Adam, and Loryn to school. Leighton rolled some really random MC wishes, like 'Work out until fatigued' and 'Plan outfit'. He chatted with Kathryn a bit at LeFromage, told her about the new addition to the household. All that jazz.

Things were seeming pretty normal, surprisingly. The kids had a friend over after school - Ronda Alto - and Adam and Loryn's IF's, Syndi and Sterling, respectively, came out to play. Now if Kat would come home, her IF Cuddles could join 'em. xD

Quinn invited Sam over because the boys wanted to hang out with him, but Caleb never got to thanks to a stupid Opportunity from the school. He was out till almost curfew researching the grocery store, and on his way home he had to stop because it was - you guessed it - BIRTHDAY TIME!!!!

What is with that getup? Um, no. No self-respecting Herondale would be caught dead in that.

... Eh. It'll do. It's not like he's staying in the house very long, and after that, I couldn't care less about his appearance.

So, that evening, the kids went to bed (they're really bad about not doing their homework), Leighton played hopscotch for a few hours, and Quinn did a little bit of cardio to try to whip herself into shape (before the baby comes? Really Quinn?). Stupid Leighton interrupted her to talk to her tummy, so she used that as an excuse to take a potty break. Well, upon resuming her workout...

And into the world venture little Alyx Herondale,

Maybe it's the makeup, but she looks FREAKY doin' that o-o

and miss Beatrice Herondale.

Again - what's with the eyes?!

I get the feeling she's not too keen on this particular babeh. Maybe it's 'cause I decided on Beatrice? I thought it was cute; I certainly wouldn't pick it for my own child, but for a sim...

Hellz yeah. :)
