Uh-Oh-Speghettios

No birthdays this chapter! I thought this day would never happen.

So Shark's been working really hard at work and got a promotion to High School Teacher which might be level seven but that could be a complete lie.

"He looks so sexy in a suit,"

Agreed!

"Back off, lady."

He's also been working on his Lifetime Wish and has been finally getting the time to strum on the guitar and reach level five of charisma. But he still has loads of time to complete it.

Okay so I've been with holding a secret from everyone except Shark because we made this plan together and by George it finally worked!

"What are you talking about?"

Well Kess if I could finish--

"You guys have been keeping secrets from me??"

"Kess, let her talk."

"Are you cheating on me, Shark? Tell me now if you are!"

KESSA. SHUSH. I can't believe you haven't figured it out on your own but ugh...

"No! It's food poisoning!"

"Wrong Kess, you're pregnant."

"HOW DID YOU KNOW BEFORE ME?"

"Well she told me that our plan had worked...and you were puking up a storm."

"You planned this?"

"I wanted another baby and so did she and well..."

"I will resent you forever for this."

"Kessy..."

At least you got me, Shark.

"..."

And the kids, of course.

"Right..."

Well, on other Kessa news she also got a promotion to In Vogue Virtuoso. She's also been wanting to make over someone so when Clinton Peddler (Note to Kess' first client Clark Peddler, this is his blonde son. I forgot to get a profile shot, my bad.) came home with Olivia one day after school she knew she had to fix his drab style.

Being pregnant for so long this has been her first style since right after Tegan was born and it was pro-bono but Clinton needed it severely.

That's the end of Chapter 15, next one will be simple, the usual birthday and hopefully the new James' baby will come along.

I've also decided that next generation I will write in more of a story form, just a heads up that I'm switching it up and I might switch it back the generation after that (if we ever get there).

Gainin' Skill

Birthday time, like it always is in the James house!

Gerard first!

He gained the Slob trait, which is lovely because I hate the neat trait. Kessa. Gerard might be my favorite for heir if he keeps these amazing traits up. Also note that blonde hair found it's way into Gerard's hair, it's really noticeable if it's long so Gerard is stuck with short hair forever it seems.

And now it's little Honor's time to shine.

She gained Over-Emotional, this will be interesting because I'm pretty sure I've never played a sim with Over-Emotional. I'm hoping for the random bout of tears and foot stops now.

So now the birthdays are over with (for this chapter anyways) and lets move on to the other lovely members of this household.

Tegan started playing the guitar, it's been a wish for her for a long time and surprise surprise she was immediately placed at level 3 because of her xylophone practice as a little baby adorable toddler. Oh, nostalgia.

Along with the children learning traits is Olivia learning to paint, finally. She's had that wish since she became a child. But her crappy paintings are slowly getting better. She might be able to be as good as Kessa one day.
Which by the way Kess, why are you always in your underwear?

"I'm comfortable in them? Why are you not?"

Touche.

Speaking of wishes...our little Shark boy has had a wish of his own. To have another baby.

"No. NO. NOT HAPPENING."

I know, I've had to watch you deny him like ten times already. Too bad...a fifth James would just...complete this family.

"Well don't hold your breath."

Oh and since Heir Vote is approaching (super duper soon yay!) I was thinking about switching my writing style and making it more of a story plot, what do you guys think? Should I/Should I not? Let me know.

Tegan's A Teen

I'd like to note before we go much further that I have seemed to only take pictures of Tegan's birthday. Most of the stuff that happened was just things to write about I guess, hence the name of this update is Tegan's a Teen.

"Nice one."

You could have reminded me to take more!

"I was too busy."

What, sitting at your easel drawing dresses?

"Exactly."

So I'm just going to note the things that occured in Twinbrook this time.

-Shark was promoted to Middle School Teacher (I was blindsided by Tegan or I would have taken a picture of him.)

-Shark's grandparents Max and Marigold Racket passed on. Neither ever met their great-grandchildren that I'm aware of because they kind of scared me so I didn't want them around everyone. I forgot to mention but Marigold and Sinbad broke up quite a while ago because Sinbad has a bad temper and likes to have the whole town as an enemy, even his girlfriends while he's dating them.

-LaShawn keeps trying to come over and hang out with Olivia after school but when he gets to the house he has to leave for work. They still haven't even gone on their date.

Alright, that was the news, a few babies being born, a few more people died of old age, lots of enemies. Now on with Tegan's birthday! I've been waiting forever for her to age up.

This is Tegan pre-make over and I have to say, she's the first sim that came out naturally pretty looking. She inherited the hair Shark and Kessa had which I find darling.

But I had to go and re-do everything.

The made over Tegan! I gave her long hair and a little bit of make up. She's not as naturally beautiful as Olivia who wears no make-up but she's still beautiful with her strong bone structure. I definitely see Shark in her so much.

She gained the Heavy Sleeper which she was already showing signs of as a little Tegan.

Now all we have to do is wait for the twins to age up more so we can do the heir vote. I am so eager to move to start the next generation.

"Or just eager to get rid of me?"

Kind of both, Kess.

"I will be sticking around, mark my words. You won't rid of me once heir is chosen. I will be forever!"

So besides the pictures this was kind of a short update, I promise next one will be really loaded with excitement and hopefully the twin's birthday into childhood and maybe Olivia will finally get to go on a date with LaShawn?
