Marco loved beeing a dad, but it was a bit more work than he'd anticipated. He even managed to hurt himself changing Skulds diaper:...ouch..... Damned butt- powder got in his eyes. Skuld laughed and drooled at him; the little sadist. Kids had a tendency laughing when adults got injured.
Ally had moved in whilst they waited for the baby to be born. For some reason she wanted the new one to live with him to, so she could focus on her careere. Ofcourse he was going to care of the new baby, but it still seemed a bit odd to him. Maybe when beeing an actor, it was best not to let anyone know one had a baby?
Having a house full of babies was awesome! He loved beeing a dad, and an uncle! And as much as he despised Bashir, he had an adorable daughter. The girl obviously took it from her mums side of the family.....
How long can the girls have boys for sleepovers? To the end of elementary school? Oriana innocently asked her brother. The kids age- up was closing in, so it was natural staring to think about parties and making friends.
Marco chocked on his food. Was she crazy? He'd played doctor with quite a few girls as a kid: No boys for sleepovers ever!!! How big of an air head was she anyway?
Why not? Oriana thought her brother was so weird. Joe pretended he didn't hear them, he was glad that he had a little boy instead of a girl. That way he didn't have to bulk up, to beat up boys at a later date. Ofcourse, having a boy meant he might come face to face with some girls beefed up dad at a later point....
I slept over at Milos all the time, and he didn't ever do anything weird! Oriana didn't see the problem. He brother was such a freak.
Really? Milo was a weirdo. The idea that all boys might not be as ladycrazed as him was a thought Marco never seemed to consider.
Just trust me in this, Marco grinned. Bashir will agree too. Just trust me! No boys, never, ever ever!! For once he was happy that Oriana had a baby with someone almost equally gross to himself. Men were gross, teenaged boys were gross, and little boys were gross, it was that easy. Boys were only cute when they were babies and toddlers, after that they were gross. Simple.
Ally did her best to befriend everyone, but Oriana found her so boring. What on this earth did her brother see in her?! He could get someone way better. Besides she had an odd fashionsense, and kept on talking about herself. So what if she was an actor? She wasn't a famous one and still boring!
Ally stared at herself in the mirror again. She couldn't wait to get that baby out of there, so she could get back to work. She didn't hate kids or anything, but the baby was going to stay with Marco, as she just didn't have the opportunity to take care of it. Having a baby and a careere in movies was pretty much impossible, atleast when not beeing a star.
And that old lady kept pestering her with pictures of the babies! She lived with them! Ally knew how they looked!!! Please baby, get out of the stomach soon!
Why didn't that guy keep his hands off her? She was tired and looked like a beached whale!
He grew up to be a surprisingly cute toddler, with his mothers eyecolour.
Efraim was no longer a little baby, so changing diapers wasn't as easy anymore. Efraim didn't afree he needed them, and just kept throwing around on the changing table until Joe gave up. Wondered if mums had an equally hard time doing this?
He also wondered when Meave was coming home. Even if they spoke with her over the computer, it would have been better if their kid could meet her in person. She was missing out on everything that was happening.
And since a new baby was on the way, Marco started nesting.What, it's not just for mums!
Why are they acting that way? Iva wondered. She and her husband had just snuggled a bit, and look at them now. She couldn't remember what had happened in between then, and whatever was happening now.
She hadn't seen her husband cry since his sister died....
Crap....
Come on, she wanted to see her last grandchild before she died! She had waited for so long! This was unfair!
But when a sims time is over, it is over, and Ivas pleading fell for deaf ears. Death was a douche.
Daddy, do something! Oriana thought dad should do something, but he was all shaking and crying whilst mums body lay lifeless on the floor. The only thing that could be done was to call the undertaker.
Marco was called in for an emergency down at the station the same night. He highly preffered working whilst mourning, it was easier dealing with stuff that way.
If it was the shock of witnessing death is to be unsaid, but the following morning Ally went into labour. She didn't even have time to get to the hospital, because this was a baby in a rush.
The family would have little time to mourne the lost grandmother, when baby Odin was born into the household.
There really was only one last surprise
Well, if you're going to create a new plant....
Why not make a plantbaby?
Gard named the baby Jarl
He said goodbye to his grandchildren, and toddler Efraim before leaving the house.
Then he sat next to Ivas tombstone and waited for the sun to rise.
When's daddy coming home? Have you heard from him? She was getting worried about him, he was old and so sad that mum died. Even sadder than her!
Really? Was she kidding him? Their dad was dead, he'd probably ended it himself. Was she really that gone from this world?
Uhm... he's probably just running late Ori. Marco lied: Maybe he's fixing the tombstones for the rest of the family to? He'd already sent words to his co- workers to keep an eye after his body. It was best if Oriana figured it out on her own. She probably already knew, she just needed to realize it.
Marco wasn't exactely happy about their dad gone missing, but it was better than the option. He'd clinged on to their mum with his bare sanity.
I'll stay up a while to wait for him, Oriana decided. You just go to bed, I'll watch the babies. Even the green one! They had a green baby, it was so neat!! Science was the best thing ever!
He gave her a smile he hoped seemed honest.
Oriana still had nightmares when it was fullmoon. She dreamt about an old man with long dark hair and a beaknose. Not that he ever did anything, she just dreamt she was hiding from him. Which was odd. But she also dreamt the gardengnomes held a funeral for another gnome once, so she dreamt a lot of strange stuff. And ninjas, she dreamt about ninjas a lot! Wonder if it was possible having a gardengnome ninja?
Hours passed, but daddy didn't return home.
She was a bit to old to sleep in her parents bed, but she was still a daddys girl. And when dad got home, he'd know that she waited up for him. Then he probably wouldn't feel so sad that mum passed away. Oriana missed mum, and dad.
And she was sad that Bashir was out of town on stupid meetings. She missed him to, and so did Lucrecia.
----------------------------------------------------
First of all, Gard isn't dead. A few hours into the same day Iva died, the camera tilted, it said "die" on his box, then it stopped and he started reading instead. So he deathbugged on me. That's why I did it this way. So story wise he's dead, since he should be in game to. But he's very much alive. And I selfishly kept him alive, because there's five sim babies.
I've never had a deathbug before, so I have no idea if he'll die on his own, or if I'm going to have to kill him,
Jarl is marked as Gards son, so I removed all familybonds between him and the rest of them. They don't need more kids, it'll just be more inbreeding in town.
Thanks for reading
I just want to say that I absolutely adore the first picture of toddler Efraim! He looks like he should be saying something like "Oh yeah, I have legs now!" In like, a cocky but adorable way <3 squee!
SvarSlettAw, Iva and Gard gone at once :( It's got to be hard seeing your parents go especially when Oriana doesn't even believe that her father's gone :(
I agree with the no boy girl sleep overs. I know that I would feel kinda awkward with a boy at any sleepovers (that and my mum would probably have a heart attack if I told her that)
Efraim is possibly the cutest toddler I've had in game. And he does finally have legs, no wonder he looks so happy. I didn't think about that :D
SlettYeah Gard and Iva died pretty close to eachother, in theory atleast. They were way overdue anyway. But the picture is actually of their last kiss, hence the title.
Boys for sleepovers are a constant discussion subject it seems :) And pretty innocent in the sims. But it was a funny subject to bring up.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
Lol Marco! No boys, huh? What about what goes around comes around? If he did that as a kid, what does he think his own son will do? ;)
SvarSlettI loved seeing Ally trying to fit into the house while waiting on baby. How funny.
It really is sad how Meave and Bashir are missing out on so much of the babies growing up. But they'll get to come over occasionally right?
Noo! Not Iva! Aw. :( And then Gard! Oh Gard! </3 :'( Is his age bar maxed out even after the deathbug?
Gosh. Is that 5 kids in the house? Wow!
Maybe Marcos son takes after his classy mum? Maybe the apple falls far from the tree? Depends on what traits he's delivered. I don't think I can handle a second Marco tbh, so here's for not getting the irresistable trait again.
SlettAlly should have fitted in, but no one gets along with her. It's a bit strange, but sometimes that happens.
Meave and Bashir will be over regulary, unless they bug to much. Especially Bashir is a bit buggy, Meave not so much. But she usually doesn't care about Efraim at all when they meet. She keeps fondling Joe constantly.
Gards acting like nothing ever happened, his agebar is still over max, and increasing. I've never had a deathbug before, so maybe he never dies. It'll be interesting to see. Death isn't bugged atleast, because other sims die, but...
And yes it's five kids. Biggest household I've ever had. It's kind of fun, but a bit scary because they're left on their own device a lot.
