Round 4. Mills


Henry Mills - Knowledge - LTW - Become Head of SCIA
Belle (Gold) Mills - Fortune - Become The Law

Last visit:  Henry and Belle returned home from Sim State having graduated Summa Cum Laude and sat about getting Cora's garden in order.  It was full of weeds!  Found jobs in their fields and a grand wedding was had.  The dog Spot was adopted and Belle insisted that he get a job right away.  While at a party at the Nolans, Belle purchased another puppy named Flash, but to her chagrin realized Flash was a male like Spot.  A burglar attempted to burgle the house, but Officer Demi Love was on the job and caught Jessica Ebadi in the act.   No children yet for the Millses....let's look in and see what is going on.


Ah.  Belle wants a baby.  After all, all her friends have had a baby, and some are on the second one!


Henry wants to become a father, as his buddies James Nolan and August Booth have entered into the sacred realm of fatherhood.  The Mills name must carry on!


Belle and Spot leave for work at the same time Monday morning, sharing the carpool.  Instead of moving to a larger lot and building a new house, they just remodeled their old one.  They dug out a basement under the house and added an upstairs to the living area.  They wanted to make sure there was plenty of room for children.


Belle was presented with a problem right away!


It was nice to be offered charisma points, but she was already maxed out in charisma.  However, she received something much better than charisma points.


Belle was promoted to The Law.  Henry was so happy for Belle, he declared it was time to go on vacation.  They had both worked so hard on their careers, perhaps the stress was keeping them from getting pregnant.


So off they went to the Far East.


They drank tea....


Learned how to do a Acupuncture massage...


And lounged in the hot springs.  They also went shopping for souvenirs and clothes.....


Then....when Henry was feelin' a little frisky and joined Belle in the changing room, it happened.  Yes, the cashier laughed at them, being that woohoo in the changing room is hard to ignore and all.  Among other things, chimes were heard.  Belle and Henry were finally going to be parents!

 
Belle would tire easily and started spending more time at the hotel.  But she did accompany Henry to the Pagoda in the Shadows and learned a great story.


Henry went out and learned how to teleport from the ninja.


Belle could never answer the questions correctly no matter how she answered....and was denied the secret to teleportation seven times!  Perhaps it was because she was pregnant.


The day before last of vacation, Henry shared the legend he learned from the old man.  He hoped to get locals dancing the Tia-chi so he could learn it but it was a futile effort.  All too soon it was time to go home.  Back to work, back to Spot.  But now there was a little one on the way!


Back home Belle and Henry spent many quiet evenings in their newly remodeled home.  Then one of those evenings, they received visitors.


Henry and Belle's parents....Rumple Gold and Cora (Mills) Gold.  Belle was happy to see her dad and wanted to tell him the good news about the baby.

Belle literally popped right in front of her dad...doesn't he look angry! haha
Rumple seemed tense.  Perhaps he thought himself too young to be a grandpa....


Belle was suddenly very tired and went to bed.  Henry stayed up with mom and dad and had a nice chat.  He told them about the vacation to the orient that he and Belle had went on.  He told them how excited he was to become a dad.  They were very happy at the thought at becoming grandparents!


In the meanwhile the gardening drama continued.  Last week Belle had complained about all the weeding Cora's abandoned garden required.  As the plants gave their all and were harvested out of the garden, Belle continued to weed and harvest what was left.  Suddenly she was a gardening expert, and was awarded a gold badge in gardening.


She also began to feel a tad guilty about Spot the dog working so much so off to the pet shop she and Henry went to purchase a girlfriend for him.  Thus Rikki the pit bull mix joined the Mills family.  She was very friendly and had the exact same personality Spot had.


While Belle was picking out Rikki, Henry hung out with the guys in the back of the building and grilled fish for everyone.  Note August Booth sitting to Henry's right.  August Booth was there to pick out a pet too.


And he did find a cat.  (This excites ASimWen...when a normally playable Sim buys a pet when not playable).


Back home, Rikki wasted no time making friends with everyone.


She even made friends with the mailman.  But Spot was a hold out.  He was suspicious of a new dog in the family.


Then, there was another addition to the family.  (Typical Sim having a baby in the bathroom).


Henrietta.  Such a cutie patooty little girl!


The same day Henrietta was born, her daddy Henry became the best in his career field.  It was then he thought he would like to break into the field of Science and become a Scientist.


It wasn't long after Henrietta was born her Aunt Lacy stopped by to meet her.


Makes one wonder if Lacy is dreaming of having her own baby girl.


All too soon it was time for Henrietta to grow up!  Family members were invited, and a party was had.


Henry wasted no time introducing Henrietta to smart milk and immediately began teaching her a few words of Simlish.



Cora (Mills) Gold and her daughter Regina (Mills) Nolan retired to the basement to watch a little TV and have some mother daughter time.  Regina will be adding to the Nolan family soon!  Apparently Grandma Cora was more interested in the new grand baby on the way, than the one upstairs aging up!


Well the two Sims who usually show up at other peoples parties and make out were the hosts this time (Henry and Belle (Gold) Mills, so a new couple took over being the make-out artists at this party.  August and Mona Booth.  Looks like August can hardly wait for his new little one to be born.


There it is.  Henry watched on full of disgust.  Henry has no room to talk!



And we leave the Millses with the new dog Rikki making friends with little Henrietta.  Daggone...that is one big dog.

Round 4. Gold



Rumple Gold - Romance - LTW Have 20 Simultaneous Loves
Cora (Mills) Gold - Family - LTW Reach Golden Anniversary

Last time:  Rumple started the round with an outing to the bowling alley with the intentions of making a friend but didn't succeed.  He and Cora Mills continued dating, he asked her to move in and she did.  This action was quickly followed by a wedding, of which all the kids and their spouses came.  Dogs Eileen and Ichabod were added to the family, and Cora ended the round pregnant.  Lacy left for University.


Rumple had a hankerin' to see his daughter Lacy since she graduated from Uni and returned to town.  She didn't move back in with dad and Cora,  but instead bought her own place.  (See it off in the distance, there).  She came over to visit and brought this fellow with her.  Rumple was quite suspicious.  He had no idea Lacy knew Mr. Big.


The days were quiet; he and Cora (Mills) had a lot of "alone" time waiting for their baby to be born.  (They dated to keep up their aspiration!)


Last round they had purchased a puppy named Ichabod from the shelter, and he grew up.  Lacy brought Eileen home from the pet store to keep him company, the two dogs became great friends by the time Ichabod aged up.  Cora went right outside to influence the dogs to try for puppies but neither dog liked her well enough to do it.


She spent her days waiting for the baby to be born studying cooking, hoping to get a hobby plaque.


In the mean time Rumple went to work every day and gained promotions.


This coworker who seemed to have the same position he did, promised him a promotion.  heh


On Wednesday the babies were born!  Twins!


Okie dokie, so ASimWen is watching PBS Masterpeice Mystery on TV while playing, so these two little dudes are named after Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson.  


Neither boy exhibits their mom's skintone...Sherlock shows his dad's, and John has picked up a skintone from a long lost relative.  I am especially anxious to watch the genetics in this family.


Woo look at that...the co worker who promised Rumple a promotion came over and left a DJ station as a gift.  Sold off.


Cora resumed studying for the culinary hobby plaque, and spun up Science as  well.  Sorry lady, can only study for one at a time.  Besides, you already have the Science plaque.  You left it in your old house...Henry will give it to you when we visit his lot.


Soon it was time for Sherlock's birthday.  What?  he and John are twins.  Well...John was bugged.  He was stuck in a diaper changing loop with his dad.  Over and over.  So he was deleted and brought back onto the lot...which reset his age a day back.  So their birthdays are on different days.


Hm....I can see features from both his mom and his dad.


There were no toys in the house, so Sherlock commenced to dance to the party music.  Awwww!  But apparently Music and Dance was not his predestined hobby.


His dad had other ideas and proceeded to teach him his toddler skills right away.


Oh?  What's this?  Rumple gained admittance to Desirable Discourse.  This means he has been either reading or writing a novel.  Yes, he is working toward the Film and Lit hobby plaque.


And Cora held a wish to make sure Sherlock could go potty.


Somewhere along the line Rumple managed to convince Eileen and Ichabod to try for puppies.  Here four!


Again, named after characters in PBS's Sherlock series.  They were immediately picked up by Animal Control.


That particular action caused some trouble in this game.  Cora was on her way to work for the first time after the boys were born.  Right after ASimWen snapped this picture, the Animal Control officer approached her and announced the puppies were being picked up.  That wiped Cora's action to go to work.  Being that Captain Heroes fly to work...Cora couldn't figure out how to go without being told how.  heh  Sooooo she thought to try to walk to work ....walked to the customary spot she flies from and disappeared. ?? 

 
When she returned home from work, she was invisible.  She still managed to throw a birthday part for John.  Floating baby, everyone!


She carried him across the room before taking him to the potty.


She managed to slip on the skilling booster hat..before putting him on the potty.  Invisible mommy!


During all the invisible woman drama, party guests Belle (Gold) Mills and Balin Wolf have a friendly reunion in the yard.


John started making friends with the dogs.  :)


The next morning Cora was still invisible, so she visited Sue's Kitchen to partake in a cooking contest and she reappeared.  How did the contest go?


She lost.  Teen Nicole Thompson won with...what is that...lobster tails?  Or is that bass?  I am not sure  It is some sort of seafood.  Apparently the judge was more for omega 3s than fertility treatment cheesecake.  Simmies always make cheesecake when they do these contests just in case a pregnant Sim comes in and partakes in a haphazard bite.

BOTTLE FIGHT

Boys will be boys...fighting brothers!


The boys were ready for an afternoon snack, and John could not get his bottle quickly enough to suit him.


He gives Sherlock's bottle a hard yank!


John:  Gimme gimme gimme!

Sherlock:  Nooooooo!!!!!!!  Waaaaaah!


John:  Got it!

Sherlock:  Nooo!  Give it back!


John:  Glub, glub, glub...

Sherlock:  *Tears*


Cora:  Boys, boys stoppit!  Off to bed you go!


All the bottle drama over and another shift as Captain Hero under her belt, Cora decides to get a new job.  She is only three days from elder now and wanted to work in a second career before retirement.  Knowing how law enforcement worked, she decided to test the grass on the other side of the fence and got a job in the Criminal career field.


That same day was Sherlock's birthday.  Everyone came to the party.


All grown up, a day for his bottle stealing brother John!


The party was quite chaotic....and the cops came in to shut it down.  For once the Millses were not making out at a party.  Henry was playing on the computer and Belle was making friends with one of Rumple's co workers.


Monday morning rolls around with Sherlock playing with Eileen before school.  She is pregnant again.  Next time this lot is visited, it will be John's birthday.  And the Golds will probably move to a new home so they can have enough yard to put out a garden!  Until then, toodles!






Thanks for reading everybody!  Up next, the Mills lot!

Keep on Simmin'!
