Welcome back to The Literal Booker legacy!
Previously: Austen took over as reigning matriarch of the Booker family along with her wife, Cherry, and gave birth to a baby girl named Bronte, and then twin boys named Hardy and Lawrence.
Andrea, determined to
be the favourite in Bronte’s eyes, spends a lot of her time in the nursery.
If she’s not working
or sleeping, she’s usually in the nursery, sitting with Bronte and her new
grandsons.
Of course, Bronte’s
favourites will always be her mommas.
With her birthday
happening later in the day, Austen decided it was the perfect time to teach
Bronte her last skill: learning how to walk.
Austen: “You’re a big girl now, Bronnie.”
Bronte: *giggle*
Her brothers,
Lawrence and Hardy, sleep peacefully in their cribs.
For future reference,
Lawrence is the paler of the twins. Hardy is the only child to have inherited
Austen’s skintone.
Austen: “Come to mommy, Bron.”
Bronte: “Mama! I fell.”
Austen:
“You did it, my big clever girl! You walked to me!”
Austen: “You’re such a clever girl, Bron!”
Bronte: “Mommy! Up! Up!”
And with a heavy
heart, I must announce it’s time for Bronte to become a child.
I know.
I know.
Let’s have a moment
of silence for her cute toddler days will be behind us now.
However, we have
toddler twins to look forward to! And no, I’m totally not trying to rip my hair
out right now.
Cherry organises the
party by inviting Wynne and myself!
Bronte is first to go
up, being held by her momma, Austen.
Gray, half-heartedly: “Yeah, go, Bronte.”
… Try and be a little
more enthusiastic!
Wynne: “Yeah! Go Bronte!”
Cherry: “Let’s grow baby girl!”
Like that.
Gray: “I plead the fifth. I’m not related to this child.”
Austen helps Bronte
blow out the candles.
And the party, minus
Yvonne who is at work, surround the little baby as she dances her way to
childhood!
Yup, that’s
definitely Austen’s nose she’s got.
Everything else is
Cherry’s.
Now time for the
twins to grow up.
… Please, please let
their toddlerhood be quick. Twins are my worst nightmare.
The front door opened
just as the twins were about to age up. Distracted by the noise, Austen,
Cherry, and Wynne turn to the direction of the front door.
Yvonne, having
returned home from work, made a beeline towards the kitchen where the
celebrations were being held.
Time to do this
again.
And a one, and a two,
and…!
We have twin
toddlers!
Gray: “Is it time to go home now?”
Nearly!
Hardy, in the
Christmas PJs is a Virgo with 10 neat
points, 2 shy points, 8 active points, 3 serious points, and 3 mean points.
Lawrence, in the
Hawaiian shirt, is a Scorpio, like his Auntie Wynne and his mother Cherry. He
has 5 neat points, 5 outgoing points, 9 active points, 3 serious points, and 3
mean points.
Great, we have a nice
girl and mean twin toddlers…
Andrea: “So, how’s married life been?”
Wynne: “Like a dream!”
Andrea: “Will we be seeing any little faces in the near future?
Neither me or your mother have much longer left here.”
Wynne: “As a matter of fact, we’ve been discussing having children
and we’ve decided to start trying!”
Hardy makes his first
steps in the world to crawl to his momma.
Austen: “Hey, Mom! Can you make some of that super smart milk?”
Yvonne: “Must I do everything myself?”
Not to worry, Yvonne,
Austen and Cherry are very close to achieving their LTWs. Soon, they’ll be the
grandmas doing the dirty work for their kids.
Yvonne: “I’ll be in a grave by then!”
… Well, yes, this is
how life works, I’m afraid.
Cherry, needing to
get her logic skill up to get to the top of the business career, decided to
play a round of chess in the study.
Bronte, the
inquisitive kid that she is, decided to join her.
Bronte: “Mommy, why are you pulling that face?”
Cherry: “Oh, nothing, my dear.”
Andrea: “How did you get roped into this?”
Yvonne: “I volunteered.”
Andrea: “Yvonne, we’re past this… Austen and Cherry should be doing
this!”
Fear
not, Andrea, Austen and Cherry still take part in their duties as mothers!
However, no matter
how much she complains, Andrea is more than willing to teach her grandbabies
how to walk and talk.
No! No crying babies!
This is why twins are
the worst, when wakes up crying so does the other one!
Austen decides to
finish what Andrea started off.
Hardy slowly, but
surely, gets the hang of it.
Whilst Cherry bathes
his twin, Lawrence.
I’m trying to make it
clear which twin is which because… they’re identical in the FACE.
However, she always
makes time for her oldest, little Bron.
Cherry decided to
tackle the task of teaching Hardy how to talk.
But, it really wasn’t
going how she had anticipated.
She then decided to
try a different tactic.
Cherry: “Baby, say Mommy.”
Hardy: “Mommy.”
Yvonne only wished it
was as easy with his twin, Lawrence.
Yvonne:
“C’mon Lawrence, you need to know to talk, how else will you communicate?”
Yvonne: “You’re breaking Grandma’s heart.”
Yvonne then decides
to use Cherry’s tactic.
Yvonne: “Lawrence, say Grandma.”
Lawrence: “No!”
Sorry, Yvonne, looks
like he’s going to be a difficult one.
Not enough Jake, I
hear you say?
Well, how about a
cute snapshot of Bronte and Jake playing!
So cute!
I don’t usually use
the thinking cap but Austen needs to get two charisma points for her promotion
to Rock God…
So,
I guess I’m using the thinking cap!
Austen! Don’t repair
the TV!
You could die!
Austen: “Sorry, what were you saying?”
… I forgot you had a
high mechanical skill… Unlike Yvonne.
Cherry
decides to teach Lawrence a nursery rhyme and it’s going over as well as
expected.
But slowly, and
surely, he warms up to his momma and starts singing along.
She looks so touched.
Cherry:
“Such a clever boy, Lawrence!”
Cherry: “Okay, from the top!”
She immediately turns to Hardy. Let’s see how well this goes.
Hardy immediately
melts into his mother’s singing and joins in with all of his might.
Cherry: “Oh, my sweet boy!”
Cherry: “Well done!”
Cherry: “I really wish Austen would let us have another kid. The
boys are growing up too quickly!”
Sorry, Cherry. I
think three is enough for this generation.
Look who shows up to
this birthday! Instead of moi, it’s Uncle Ricky!
And a heavily pregnant Wynne.
Yvonne: “What’s the hold up, Andrea? You have a kid in your arms!”
Andrea: “We have twins, Yvonne, we’re growing them up
simultaneously.”
Here comes Cherry, in
her bathrobe, with Lawrence in her arms.
Andrea: “Now, we can start!”
Hardy, the oldest,
goes first. He seems to be a little preoccupied by the fire.
Ricky: “Wynne is so hot!”
Ricky… Inappropriate.
Cherry: “Wait! I hear a car outside!”
Well, well, well,
look who achieved their LTW!
It’s Austen!
Hardy begins to grow
up, doing his little wiggle…
Before becoming a
real boy!
Hardy: “Yay! Look at my pyjamas!”
You really like the
colour pink, don’t you, Hardy?
And now it’s the
youngest, Lawrence.
A wiggle and a
jiggle!
And Lawrence grows
into matching pyjamas!
Cherry: “So… Wynne… Anything to tell us?”
Wynne: “Oh, nothing too major… I’m just pregnant, that’s all.”
Austen: “Wynne!”
Like you couldn’t
tell…
Austen: “Oh, Wynne, I’m so happy for you! I told you that you’d
find the one eventually!”
Wynne: “Yeah, I’m sorry I didn’t quite believe you.”
Austen: “Oh! I’ve never felt a baby bump before…”
Hmm… Sounds like
Austen might want another child after all.
Austen: “I hope she looks just like you.”
Wynne: “What makes you so sure it’s a girl?”
Austen: “Call it aunt’s intuition.”
Austen: “Hello little one, I’m your Auntie Austen. I can’t wait for
you to join us and play with your cousins!”
I
can tell Austen is really excited to be an auntie.
Once the party ends,
the boys are tucked into bed.
Austen, still quite
unable to believe how quickly time has passed by.
As winter hit, Austen
and Cherry woke to a frosty morning with a snow laden ground.
Cherry: “You have plans today, don’t you?”
Austen, mumbling: “Mmm, I guess I could go shopping and get the
kids some new clothes.”
Cherry smiled.
Cherry: “That sounds good.”
Austen had never been
to Cold Issue Clothing before, and whilst she took a look around at the trendy
clothing and the alternative rock blaring from the speakers, she wondered if she
should’ve even tried to venture in here.
But she knew her kids
would be appreciative of the clothes from this place so she plucked the courage
and picked a few items of clothing for each of her kids.
Austen: “Hey, where was she when I was a teenager?”
Alright, you’re
happily married, Austen.
Yvonne has taken to
Austen’s career reward.
Yvonne: “I should’ve become a Rock God!”
Yeah… I don’t think
that would’ve suited you much.
Welcome home from
your first day at school, Lawrence!
Lawrence: “Aww man, I only got a C.”
… You have time to
get your grades up, don’t worry.
Hardy: “Bye bus driver lady!”
Andrea: “Hi Hardy!”
Hardy: “Grandma? Don’t look at my grades! They’re good I swear!”
Andrea: “I’m no fool, I majored in Biology. Your face says you’re
lying.”
Why don’t you check
with Yvonne’s career reward, hehe?
Only a B, Bronte?
That’s gravely disappointing.
Bronte: “B for Bronte.”
Clever, but, go do
your homework, you need to get that A+.
Hey! Look at you, Mrs
Business Tycoon!
Cherry: “Today is a good day, hihi!”
Bronte is the first
child to get her new clothing.
Hardy: “Man! Why is Simlish so hard?”
You’re named after an
author!
Hardy: “And?”
Bronte: “Hey, Lawrence, what did you get for question 3?”
Lawrence: “Llama.”
Bronte: “… I’m doing Maths, what are you doing?”
Lawrence: “Oh, I’m just doodling…”
Bronte is the first
to finish her homework so Grandma Andrea rewards her by reading her a book.
Andrea: “And then the princess and the prince lived happily ever
after.”
Bronte: “Hey, Grandma, is marriage always the be all end all?”
Andrea: “What… What do you mean?”
Bronte: “I don’t think I want to get married…”
Andrea, chuckling: “Well, of course not, you’re only a child.”
Bronte pressed her
lips together and stayed silent. Yeah, because she was only a child.
Hardy and Lawrence
both get their new outfits after completing their homework!
Austen: “Ah, tonight is the best time to go for a jog.”
Cherry: “It’s a bit icy out.”
Austen: “That makes it even more fun.”
Bye now! Have a good
jog!
Bronte and Grandma
Yvonne decide to pass the time before bedtime by dancing together.
It’s pretty crazy how
in just a generation, all of Yvonne’s genetics besides her hair and eye colour
have pretty much gone…
Bronte and Lawrence
decide to out-wit one another by playing a game of chess.
Bronte’s OTH is
fitness and Lawrence’s is sports, yet they’re both drawn in by the telescope
and the chess table.
Meanwhile, Hardy’s
OTH is actually science and thus is addiction to the telescope makes some form
of sense.
Cherry: “Mmm, has Austen always been that flexible?”
Wh- Where’s your mind
going?
Cherry: “Wanna show me a few more of your flexible moves in bed,
hihi?”
Austen: “Oh, hell yes.”
Congrats on your A+,
Bronte!
Bronte: “Momma! I got an A+!”
Excuse my vine
references…
Cherry decided that
night-time is the best time to bond with her youngest son, Lawrence.
They’re both sports
fans so it makes sense.
Lawrence, you’re
better off playing catch with your Auntie Wynne, she’s a Hall of Famer.
We interrupt Austen
and Cherry bonding with their kids to bring you autonomous affection from
Andrea and Yvonne.
They’re both getting
up in there in age, it’ll be sad to see them go.
Now we return to your
regular schedule.
Bronte: “Higher! I want to touch the sky!”
Austen: “I can’t swing any higher!”
Bronte: “TO TOUCH THE SKY!”
Cherry: “Oh, oops.”
NO. NO, I CANNOT DO
THIS AGAIN. YOU AND AUSTEN ARE 13 DAYS AWAY FROM TURNING TO ELDERS, WHY DID YOU
DO THIS TO ME!?
I’m so mad; I’m going
play the Sims 4 for a while!
