Chapter 9: Sad departures

It's a bit odd to start of the chapter with Annie crapping up the toilet but eh, anyways.

And hell no I wasn't just gonna let her turn it into a filthy green muck hole and happily prance away. No.

Later on she also mucked up the front porch.

And after all the puking and hurling it came to me as no surprise that Annie was pregnant. Yey!

Since she got a couple days of maternity leave there wasn't much to do. I try to invite some people over but they're always like "Call me back in some hours". Blah blah blah. So I took her to the pool instead to have a lovely swim with the old timers of Twinbrook.

She was pretty happy swimming with some wrinkly oldies but then something epic (in my opinion) happened.

I guess that breath holding contest was to hard on the old lady as she floated above the water and um.. started to die.

And this is when I realised. Hey wait a minute, that's my simself. She's dying an epic way so I'm alright with that :P

And the epicness continues as the grimbot jumped into the pool

And swam toward me

But when he eventually got there it became evident that I didn't want to leave as I just kept swimming around as the grimbot just watched as I scared some of the other elders to death.

And I guess the grimbot gave in and joined me in my deathly parade.

But grimbot soon got back to business and I begged not to go but meanie grimbot took me anyways. Meep.

Oh yea Grim, every grimbot loves to perv on old ladies right after they reaped the soul of another.

Great, because grief and mourning is just so helpful for pregnancies. I'm not going to be surprised when she pops out a devil child.

Moving on... Aurelie was glad that she was going to have a new little playmate.

Well a new playmate if they actually get along that is.

Alec was also excited to have a new daughter/son.

When I was bored I built a nifty little place to place all the shiny shiny urns and statues.

And I was rewarded with Minnie's ghost showing up for the first time.

Along with the arrival of Minnie's ghost some random fire started in the living room. How lovely.

But luckily we had the brave Alec around to save the house from a crispy situation. I love how Aurelie is just standing there like nothings happening.

And this is when Aurelie met Minnie for the first time. Always gotta do it the creepy way for Minnie.

And she was nice enough to read her a bedtime story.

Later on that night Annie went into labour and Alec as usual pulled these hilariously terrified faces.

Even Annie found it rather funny.

Anyways after a trip to the hospital she came back with another girl. Lotsa girls in this legacy.

This is Pazia (which also apparently means golden) and she may not look like it now but I think she gonna be a fun little terror to play with. She was born with the Evil and Excitable traits.

Evil or not Alec still adored her.

She also received this creepish doll in the mail.

Jace telling Cassandra a ghost story, hmm. Nowadays since Jace is old now I leave him to do what he wants so random moments like these are pretty common.

Even though he's old now I still luffs him and the fact that he takes care of Pazia on a regular basis in a bonus.

And you know he's the best looking elder I've had evaaar.

Yay! Pazia's aging up. Yes yes I see the reaper skin but just ignore that, I was having an issue with her skin but I fixed it.

See. I think she looks quite cute, just hoping she isn't a little pain.

Annie also aged up into an adult.

And so did Alec.

Then Jace did a little sparkle spin of his own :(

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *takes breath* OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

But I guess despite my protesting it was his time to go :'(

Bye :(

Though I did do this for his urn. It's pretty cool me thinks.

Now with the family even smaller everyone stayed together to give a comforting hug whenever someone needed it.

Everyone except Pazia that is. She thought her forehead needed more green milk than her body.

Maybe you think judging from her cute little face that Pazia could turn out to be like her sister here, but no I don't think so. Even seemingly perfect older sisters have their flaws. (but not meeeeee :P)

And here she is being the little pain she is, but sometimes she had her reasons to annoy me to no end.

And most of the time her reason was the fact that Aurelie was a huge attention hog. Every time I needed someone to cater to Pazia's needs I have to pull them away from her.

She was often showcasing her skills or telling them about some sort of achievement being the overachiever she is. I'd like to call this piece, In mourning.

But a little time for Pazia could always be squished into Alec and Annie's busy routine but look, on the rare occasions of father daughter playtime Pazia looks like she's achieved world domination or something.

On one of Annie's days off I sent her to fish up and Anchovy because that's the gen. 2 fish and Pazia came along.

Oh Annie at least you caught something.

And here's the new fish of the house, Khalia. Normally when I name fish I just take the first name the game gives because I couldn't care less so I was only lucky that they actually gave a pretty name.

Time was also spent skilling Pazia so she wouldn't turn out to be a terror child. Potty training, check.

And I absolutely adore this little potty face she pulled.

And walking was also surprisingly done. Check.

So Pazia does get sooome attention but most of it is on Aurelie, if it wasn't homework it was her showing off something.

Leaving poor little Pazia to play on her on with her little doll Ramon.

Pazia played while another fire started. This is actually I think fire 9, yeah I've been counting.

So not looking forward to fire 10 Alec put out the fireplace.

Lookie! It's Jace the ghost :) Ah I've missed you even though I have a vampire version romping around in Bridgeport.

Birthday time! Time for Aurelie to be a teenager now.

Spin spin sparkle sparkle. I wish I could sparkle like that when it my birthday.

Wow, she really got the whole goody goody sweet and innocent look going on.

And the attention hog within still lives on.

Upon aging up Aurelie gained the Nurturing trait so she wasted no time trying to teach Pazia to talk but she wasn't talking. Maybe she just didn't like to talk.

But she did always happily chat to Annie.

I think she just doesn't like her overachieving sister.

Speaking of overachieving look at this nifty ballet trophy Aurelie got. Now it's proudly displayed next to the fishbowl.

But teenagedom did have it's perks because I was able to provide Aurelie with some useful distractions.This time it's in the form of Trevor Martinez, a townie that didn't burn my eyes out for once.

And she liked him quite a lot.

What actually got my paying attention to Trevor is that I found him flirting with Aurelie outside the school.

Seeing how well things were going on between them she asked him to be her prom date.

Here something I've never seen before happened, I think it's from Generations. The parents received a free vacation away from the kids, I agreed because I'm always down for free stuff.

Okay here I was busy WTFing. It also said that the kids would be taken care of so I thought I could also kick back ,sip a juice box and point fingers and laugh at the babysitter, but no, no no no.

With Pazia sorted out Aurelie invited Trevor to the park but he didn't go for it.

Random fish feeding interlude. I haven't fed it in days so it's cool that it's still alive...

Even though Trevor rejected Aurelie still went to the park where I found a heavily pregnant Annabelle. The father is that blue guy in the background.

She also found Trevor. I guess why he rejected her became clear now, he didn't want to go to the park because he was already there.

Also met Annabeth's son, Damian.

Caught a pretty butterfly.

And *cough cough* accidentally sat on a booby trapped bench because it's not like I saw it being booby trapped and was just curious what would happen. Pssshht noooooo that wasn't what happened *shift eyes*

I must admit using my mods I took a peak at how much Annabelle's pregnancy had progressed and turns out she was only a few hours away so I stuck around to just watch.

To my surprise she hopped into her car and drove to the hospital. Never seen someone not in the active household do that before and I forgot the baby's name.

And at home Pazia was aging up.

I guess my hopes of playing ring around the rosey and smiling with Pazia are crushed. Hoooo well...

Join us next time won't ya?
