Welcome
back!
In
our previous chapter, Bronte returned home after graduation and took a trip to
Twikki Island where she met Zeeshan Sims. There she got pregnant with her first
child, a son named Ellis after Bret Easton Ellis.
The title of this chapter is also taken from a song on MIKA's new album, My Name is Michael Holbook, and it's definitely worth a listen.
Bronte: “Well, how long was I out?”
Long enough for
Cherry to kidnap Ellis and take him downstairs for a feeding.
Bronte: “Dang, that’s a while. I didn’t think I was a deep
sleeper.”
But, Bronte was there
for the changing even if she slept through his feeding.
Bronte: “Hey Mom, thanks for taking care of Ellis for me…”
Cherry: “Yeah, appreciate me whilst I’m here.”
Penny for your
thoughts, Cherry?
Cherry: “I’m going to miss this life. I’m going to miss you, Gray.”
I’m gonna miss you
too, Cherry. *sniff*
Cherry, you wash your
dishes in there!
Well, Ellis cannot
stay a baby forever!
It’s time for a
birthday party!
And look who’s come
to visit! Uncle Hardy and Uncle Lawrence!
Bronte: “Let’s go, wiggly boy!”
I… can’t believe how
dominant Bronte’s genes are. Not a single thing from his father… It’s almost
like Zeeshan offered nothing.
Ridiculous.
Anyway, whilst I
grumble, why don’t I give you Ellis’ stats: He’s an Aquarius (yay! No more Scorpios!).
He’s very nice, very outgoing, incredibly active, very playful, and very nice.
Basically, he’s a very positive individual!
Cherry: “You’re definitely your mother’s child, I can see that for
sure.”
Cherry: “Let’s see if you learn as fast as her.”
I will admit, despite
being Bronte’s clone, he’s very cute.
Heh.
Very cute.
Bronte: “Let’s see how far you can walk, little guy.”
Hehehe.
Bronte: “Come to momma!”
Bronte, holding back laughter: “Oh dear, this is harder than I
thought.”
Bronte: “You’re so darn cute though.”
Cherry is obsessed
with her grandson. She can’t stop giving him baths.
Incoming cute baby spam!
Otis: “New club smells different. New cub needs protecting.”
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Bronte reached her LTW so quickly! She’s the youngest sim in the legacy to
achieve it!
Bronte: “Booyah!”
She also had a
surprise waiting for her when she got home.
Bronte: “Zeeshan! You came to visit!”
Bronte: “So… um… You seen any good movies lately?”
Zeeshan: “Shall we just get on with it?”
Bronte: “Gladly!”
Whilst Bronte makes
baby number 2, I decide to retire both Austen and Cherry as they are both
getting up there in years.
Cherry: “I hope I get to stick around a little to enjoy the
retirement.”
Me too.
Austen: “Bronte, your mother and I have something to say.”
Bronte: “You’re dying. I remember this when Grandma Yvonne and
Grandma Andrea passed.”
Austen: “Well, see…”
Bronte: “It’s okay, I think I’ll be okay on my own.”
Austen: “Well, neither of us know who will go first… It could be me
or your mother.”
Bronte: “I’ll be okay, Mom, I promise.”
Bronte, internally: “I HATE THIS SO MUCH. I’M GOING TO KILL GRAY
FOR MAKING ME LEAD THIS LEGACY SINGLE-HANDEDLY!”
Hey, you rolled the
romance aspiration, not me.
Just a quick snap of
cutie Otis!
Bronte, looking
swank!
Bronte: “We have enough to buy a car like this… why don’t we have
one?”
Well, when your
mothers pass, you can buy whatever you like.
Bronte: “Hmm…”
Cherry: “Rock paper scissors for who calls the kids to let them
know?”
Austen: “You are on!”
Draw!
Cherry: “That is so like us!”
Austen: “Two of a kind.”
Cherry & Austen: “Rock, paper, scissors!”
Cherry wins!
Cherry: “I am unbeatable!”
Cherry & Austen: “Rock, paper, scissors!”
Austen wins this
time!
Austen: “Yeeees!”
Cherry: “I think you cheated!”
Austen: “Nah, I’m just good. Two out of three?”
Cherry: “You’re on!”
And go!
Well…
Austen: “Whoo whoo! Call those kids, Cherry!”
You guys realise you
had a game to figure out who would tell your children that you’re dying.
Cherry: *sigh* “This is gonna be hard…”
Cherry: “… Hardy, hey, it’s me.”
To offset the drab
dreariness of this chapter, here’s a photo of Otis and Ellis cuddling.
Austen: “Say ‘Grandma’. I’ll never get used to be a grandmother.”
Ellis: “Gwandma!”
Austen: “Clever boy!”
Austen: “Grandma’s going to miss you when she’s gone?”
Whoa, wait, hold up.
*record scratch*
How long has that wall been incomplete!?
Fixed.
Of course I’ve got to
give Cherry and Austen the send-off they deserve.
Austen: “I love you so much, Cherry.”
Cherry: “Austen, I love you just as much.”
Austen: “Just before I forget, I want you to give you ownership of
the family graveyard. Don’t forget to pass this down.”
Bronte: “Thanks for everything, Mum.”
Austen: “I’d do it all again if I could.”
She couldn’t even
finish recycling the paper!
Grim: “Austen Booker, your time has come.”
Austen: “Oh, dear, it was me first after all…”
Bronte: “Muuuuuum!”
Grim: “I have a martini with your name on. Courtesy of your
mothers.”
Austen: “Well, if my mothers insist!”
Austen. What can I
say about you other than I loved you from the moment you had been born. You
were the best heiress we had to date and you were the first. You were the first
sim I’ve raised from birth to death and thus will forever hold a special place
in my heart.
You were mother to
four beautiful children, and will hand over your reign to your eldest daughter,
Bronte.
And here she rests
until Generation 4 arrives.
Bronte: “Oh, my Goodness! I’m pregnant again!”
Time for baby number
two!
Unfortunately, today
is also the day Ellis becomes a child. No party this time, I don’t think anyone
was up for it.
Bronte: “Time to become a big boy, Ellis.”
Ellis: “Big boy!”
With a fizzle and a
pop!
Yeah, he’s an exact
clone of his mother.
Ugh. Let’s hope baby
two is a little more diverse.
The following
morning, Ellis was sent off to school.
And obviously nothing
worth recording happened so here’s Ellis returning from school.
How’d it go kiddo?
Ellis: “Average.”
At least Cherry is
sticking around a little longer to help Bronte out.
Otis: “Who is that stranger? Get out of my house!”
That’s you, you goof.
Otis: “Oh, so it is. Hehehe.”
Where did that fish
come from?
Bronte: “Mom.”
Right.
Just before baby
number two arrives, Bronte spends her time bonding with her son.
This small little
family is really cute, not going to lie. Bronte really took to motherhood well.
She also takes some
time out for Otis.
Cherry: “I’m about to play the song of my people!”
Cherry: “It’s getting late,
Ma, have you seen my mates-“
Let’s not.
Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting – Elton John
Cherry: “You’re the one who’s obsessed with
Rocketman.”
Next time: Baby number two makes their arrival and Cherry has to say goodbye.
Thanks for reading!
