A PREGNANT MAN??

Beckett got stuck in a wall.

"Shit" 
I could have reset him but I just left him there to see how he'd deal with it, and eventually Error Trap reset him for me. Seems to be a wee glitch happening whenever they try and repair their awful shower, because it happened to Eveline too.

While this fuck just stood and took pictures of her in her underwear

Things have been a bit...different with Hank in the house. Not because Hank and Beckett had that sort of thing in high school, I think everyone's over that now. And really, everyone's cool with Hank being a werewolf. It's just...maybe a little difficult to get used to.

We sort of have a knees off the table policy in this house.
And you know, you could sit on the chair...
No, it's fine. Forget I said anything.
Beckett and Eveline have both been going through midlife crises, which has led Eveline to get herself a tattoo.

I wouldn't be having a crisis if I looked that good in a swimsuit when I was middle aged
It's some stars on her ankle, which is kind of lame but it's made her happy so it's fine. Beckett wanted a car worth $10,000 but he couldn't earn that kind of money in time so he's finished his crisis only somewhat fulfilled. Never mind. He has a teenage daughter now, that'll keep his mind off his middle aged-ness. Yeah Clemmie aged up! They threw a party.

Who the hell is this fairy blowing horns in my ear

Seriously bitch stop it

Fairy is offended
She has grown into quite a pretty teenager, despite her nose.

It doesn't get any smaller
Her traits are now Absent Minded, Loves the Cold, Athletic and Handy. Not sure what this means for her future, but she's gotten quite into photography and Eveline has enrolled her in Sports Club. Also, her bedroom is super altern.

Teenage me would have loved this bedroom
I decorated Mike and Alice's old room, since they're in the graveyard now and won't complain. Hopefully when Clementine gets fully into teenagehood she'll go full goth and I can do her clothes and make up to match. Right now it feels a little wrong because she'd be what, thirteen? Thirteen year old goths are totes lame.

Sixteen year old goth me agrees

So now, onto what we've all been waiting for....HENRI IS PREGNANT!!!!!

Pregnant men wear giraffe shirts
He has the pregnancy moodlet and everything, and he wants to have a baby girl. Everything is normal, as per a regular pregnancy. There's just one thing. You may not have noticed it in the above picture. But you will notice it in the next one.

You see it now, right?

He has no legs. Just feet and a torso. Lord knows how he's holding himself up. No wonder scientists can't find a way for men to carry children if this is what happens. Who would wish this upon their partner? Terrible.

However, Henri seems to be coping well without his limbs, and I am pleased to report the pregnancy is progressing normally otherwise. The baby's name will begin with I. Imogen? Isaac? We will see.

Clementine and Fletcher have a lovely childhood, and Hank has a secret

I got so many cute family pics when both the kids were toddlers.


You will notice that Beckett is reading Clementine a book, rather than teaching her to talk or walk. That's because they've taught her everything! Yay. Even potty training was taken care of, and I think she was read two books, possibly on art or something. So she was all ready to age up successfully.

Get your ass out of the way Henri
No that's not better
Tim just saw these and was like, is that guy farting?
Clemmie rolled the Athletic trait, which gives her life some direction. Always good. I checked her out in CAS and discovered she has inherited her grandmother's nose.

That nose will be the bane of my legacy
Apart from that she's a pretty cute kid though. 

For her birthday Henri threw a party, which was supposed to be a pool party but then the weather did this:

It's like Moonlight Falls is actually New Zealand
So everyone just hung out wearing togs inside instead. Beckett gave Clemmie the camera that Mike gave him when he aged up to a child, which was quite sweet. 

I have even more cute pictures of Clementine and Fletcher together now.


ARGH IT'S SO CUTE  I WANNA STAB MY EYES OUT
Fletcher aged up a couple of days after Clementine, by which time they were BEST FRIENDS from all the peek a boo. You only have to play it for ten minutes and the relationship bar is maxed out. I wish that worked in real life, I'd have so many friends.

Cool overalls
Now the kids are the same age again, and they look SO ALIKE that they might as well be twins. Fletcher has also inherited Alice's nose, and pretty much looks exactly like Clemmie with short hair.

The gene pool, it is small
Eveline's old room is now Clementine's room, and Fletcher is sleeping in Mike and Alice's bedroom. Beckett has taken their urns out so they don't scare Fletcher with their ghosts, and when they get a chance the whole family is going to go to the cemetery and bury them properly. 

Clementine and Fletcher are having an excellent childhood. I've bought them some playground equipment, and since it's still summer they've been swimming in the pool. It looks fun.

First sleepover

Fletcher's first day of school

Backyard playground

Sunday afternoon (I think)

Swim times

Playing blocks like when they were toddlers aww
I've been so focused on the kids I may have been neglecting the adults just a little. Mostly they've just been going to work, sleeping and gardening. That garden takes A LOT of work! I really need that tractor thingy, but I can't be bothered downloading it. Anyway. Both Beckett and Eveline aged up, and they are both having midlife crises. They want a car worth $10,000 and Beckett wants facial hair.

God, look at those wrinkles. You're getting so old.
Henri is not having a midlife crisis, but his relationship drama continues. Since Hank's cruel rejection, their romance cooled somewhat, dwindling into the occasional phone call and promise to hang out. But Henri couldn't seem to forget Hank, so he decided to give him one more chance at meet him at the festival grounds again.

The same place his heart was crushed into little pieces last time. So dramatic.
The date went well, so well in fact that Henri rushed right back in and asked Hank to go steady again. Hank's reaction was...the same as last time.

Only ten years of dating and you want a commitment. So. Needy.
He left, and Henri was heartbroken. But god damn if that man is not persistent, because the very next evening he invited Hank over and continued his quest for true love. And that's when he discovered the secret Hank has been hiding from him all this time...

THIS IS WHY I CAN'T LET YOU LOVE ME
Hank is a werewolf. The full moon exposed him and his commitment issues for what they really are. After all, it's hard to maintain a relationship with a human when your love turns into bestiality once a month. But either Henri's love is so pure it transcends such trifles, or he secretly has a thing for dogs, because he wasn't bothered at all.

Your body hair may block our drains, but never our happiness!
Hank was so overcome by this unconditional acceptance that he committed to Henri straight away, and agreed to move in with the family and become their pet dog.


In the heat of the moment I had them try for a baby and lo and behold IT WORKED.

How? Who - THERE IS NO UTERUS
I have no idea how this pregnancy is going to carry out. Or how the child will come out. But I am thrilled that two men can conceive on their own, even when one is a werewolf, as now there will NO restrictions on who any of my heirs fall in love with. They are totally free! Also I can't wait to see if this baby will be a werewolf. Werewolf baby! I've never had one before.

A good Friday

I've done a lot of playing today. Three seasons worth, in fact. We started off in winter, where Ghost Mike came out to play in the snow.

Haha I don't get cold because I'm a ghost
Then, only a day after Clementine was born, Eveline discovered she was pregnant again.

They sure don't mess around.
Unsure how they would cope with two babies and a wedding to plan, Beckett invited Henri and Eveline's parents over from France to help them out a bit.


Albert is secretly judging them on their filthy house.
A couple of days after Albert and Estelle arrived, Beckett and Eveline welcomed baby Fletcher into the household.

Oh yeah, and Clemmie aged up, but in all the excitement I forgot to take any screenshots
A baby and a toddler in the same house can be pretty difficult to juggle, but luckily Henri has been helping out a lot. He has turned out to be an excellent uncle.

With pretty snazzy pyjamas
Albert and Estelle, however, turned out to be far less helpful than I'd imagined. For starters, Albert doesn't check if anyone's in the bathroom before he barges in.

Oh sorry, were you in the shower? That's embarrassing for both of us.
And Estelle liked the stereo in Beckett and Eveline's room so much that she found it necessary to turn it on constantly during the night, subsequently waking up Fletcher and ensuring that her daughter and son in law got absolutely no sleep.

There's another stereo in the lounge you bitch this is not cool
Despite their sleep deprivation, Beckett and Eveline went ahead with their wedding as planned, making sure they took naps in a room with no babies the morning of the big day. By midday Eveline was in her dress, getting her make up ready.

I didn't leave her with this weird hair obvs
They decided to get married in the front yard, just like Mike and Alice had, which was risky considering it was spring, and spring in Sims seems to mean snow, rain and thunderstorms. It did rain all morning, but by 2.30pm it had stopped, and when Beckett headed out to the arch the sun even came out for a bit. Unfortunately upon walking outside they both changed into their outerwear, so I had to cancel the wedding, change their clothes and try again. By that time the sky had gone dark again. 

Also everyone had gotten bored and gone back inside
It was a nice wedding. Everything went smoothly, everyone threw confetti, nobody died. 

Eveline was really hungry though



LETS GO EAT THE CAKE
Eveline was eager to get to the cake, but unfortunately Beckett took too long coming inside, and then she had to pee.

Come on, come on

Nope, gonna pee my wedding dress

Where is she?

Oh fuck it, I'll just have some
I don't know why it's so hard to coordinate the cake cutting in Sims.

The wedding party went on til about 1am. Henri was the bartender, since he's the only one who can make party drinks.

Man of many talents
Speaking of Henri, his romance with Hank has been heating up, albeit very, very slowly. Hank's a paparazzo, so he's usually hanging out around the house, and Henri has been flirting with him a lot. Every time they've hung out, Henri has presented him with a different bouquet of flowers, starting with Friendly Yellow, then Perfect Purple...you know, working clockwise. Finally, on Love Day, he invited Hank out to the Spring Festival and gave him a bunch of Romantic Red roses. Then he kissed his face off.

Well, kind of. That looks more like a peck.
Hank was into it, and they were all sweet and lovey dovey the next day, but when Henri asked him to go steady he freaked out and said no. He has Commitment Issues. Henri was pretty sad. But he's going to keep trying because he thinks Hank is worth it. Also he's spent $200 worth of flowers on him so far.

Fletcher aged up when Clementine was only a few days into her toddlerdom. Two toddlers!

Twice the skills to teach
I love toddlers, they're adorable and I like to give them a good start in life with as many books and toys as possible. But having two is quite a challenge. Obviously you have to teach them to walk and talk, and potty train them, but it takes SO LONG, and both Henri and Beckett have jobs. Eveline has been working on her Alchemy in snatches whenever she gets time, but mostly they've all just been running around after the kids. 


Eveline has taken to wearing her underwear all the time, eliminating the time it takes to get dressed, I suppose. Either that or she really likes her underwear.

It's pretty cool, I suppose
I drew the line when she started wearing it to the shops.

Seriously, woman. Enough is enough.
Mike and Alice have been popping up quite regularly to see how the family is going. Despite his lack of life, Mike still likes to work on his health.

There's pressure to look a certain way in the underworld
What else has happened? Well, Henri had his birthday alone on the side of the road. It wasn't intentional, he was just on his way home from work.

WHERE WILL YOU BE WHEN BIRTHDAY STRIKES?


Both Clementine and Fletcher have learnt to walk and talk, so they can hang out at the blocks table.

So, like, what do you think of that yellow potty?
Beckett got promoted to Line Cook, which is Level 5 of the Cooking career. For some inexplicable reason, when he came home from work that day, he was naked.

I hope that wasn't the reason you got promoted
He didn't want to put his clothes back on, either.

Where have we seen this before?
I didn't take a video though. Butts aren't as funny when they're not dancing.
