    The Inquisitive Forrest
    Her big brother, Hunter, was the first of her birth family to learn the big news.

    After many others visited and numerous hugs and 'feel baby' interactions it came to be 'that time'.

    Tyler! Watch your language please.

    The long walk down the same hallway that her mother and grandmother before her traveled down. So many thoughts went through her mind.

    Not having her grandmother as a doctor was unnerving. This woman was a stranger. She seemed to do well though.

    @OJenn - Your kid pics are sooooo CUTE! I love Leanna's expressions. Priceless. Can't wait to see what they look like as children. And oh my! Will there be another little one coming soon? :smiley:
  • debjameswhitedebjameswhite Posts: 1,612 Member
    @OJenn I always love your pictures. I love the picture of the truck's break lights. Those first 2 pics made me go look for where Sable Square is. I've been really bad about having my sims spend time with family. I even lost a bunch of graves because Cameron died with them all in his inventory. Also lost Kristina without even knowing she was going. Oh triplets! I love it! I am so happy!! Those are some cute babies!

    The picture spam was awesome. I'm a fan. I've noticed that Phillip spends a lot of time shirtless. I approve.

    @Rawla Oh I like the new house! Oh my gosh! Are you sure Tyler is the right man for her?? hahaha Ugh migraines. I hope you feel better. Oh a vet clinic! Nice :) Oh maybe he's not so bad. I guess things worked out! Her dress is pretty :) That baby room is so cute...omg and what a cute toddler!

    Chapter54: The Arrival of Billy

    Being a doctor is hard work. Colwyn is really grateful he has such a great partner in Autumn.
    ApXwU.png

    Since the boys aged up another renovation was underway. The third floor got a bedroom for the boys.
    ApXA1.png
    ApXzp.png

    It also got a TV room with a little kitchenette that Autumn loved.
    ApXBd.png
    ApXBK.png

    Persephone met a guy while she was hanging out at the karaoke place.
    ApXD0.png

    She’s such a good girl, she was taking time to do her homework.
    ApXEo.png

    Dads always seem to have a 6th sense when it comes to their little girls and this one is no different.
    ApXF7.png

    “Hey Persephone, just thought you might need a ride home…”
    ApXGV.png
    She decided it was a good idea to go home.
    ApXIn.png

    The next day, Colwyn delivered his first baby at work.
    ApXJ6.png

    Everything went very well.
    ApXKe.png

    But while he was at work, Billy Baird was asking his baby girl out on her first date.
    ApXJz.PNG

    He likes her very much.
    ApXMY.png

    She was feeling a little bit shy though.
    ApXSq.png

    She got so worked up, she broke out in hives. She decided to call it a night and go home.
    ApXTC.png

    In case I haven’t told you, Colwyn really loves cats and he loves Toki so much.
    ApXV7.png

    When Persephone got home, Colewyn tried to talk to her about Billy, but she wasn’t interested and the conversation did not go well.
    ApXXc.png

    She is still making sure she keeps her grades up though. She doesn’t want to give her parents any reason to say she can’t go out.
    ApY0y.png

    The next night there was a party at the Bluffs. Persephone snuck off and met Billy in the pool.
    ApY3e.png

    They had their first kiss. They had a lot of firsts that night.
    ApY4d.png
    ApY59.png
    ApY5s.png
    ApY62.png
    ApY6u.png
    ApY6R.png

    Billy snuck off when they were done and Persephone complained to her Uncle Shea about her father. As his best friend growing up, he understood :)
    ApY9P.png

    The next day, Colwyn had dinner with his brother Davyn. They had a great time and Davyn talked Colwyn into keeping more of an open mind about Billy.
    ApYaR.png
    ApYbz.png

    Later that day, Persephone had Billy over to the house. She found out he liked to play chess, but that wasn’t something she was very interested in.
    ApYge.png

    Colwyn was trying to be good, but seeing Billy in his house made him have the woohoo talk. Persephone was not happy.
    ApYht.png

    She ended up leaving and meeting Billy for dinner. She didn’t understand why her father couldn’t see how sweet he was.
    ApYzK.png

    An old person died during their date and they were both devastated.
    ApYk2.png

    Persephone tried to console him, but she was feeling equally bad.
    ApYl8.png

    Unfortunately, this kiss didn’t count and the date was only silver. They were too sad to really kiss.
    ApYlX.png

    Colwyn tried to console her when she got home. He realized he was being too hard on her.
    ApYmS.png
    ApYod.png

    Then, before we knew it, it was time for the boys to age up. That’s Billy’s dad in the background.
    ApYoB.png

    The party continued after the family party.
    ApYqv.png

    Persephone had no idea Billy was also there.
    ApYrl.png

    When she realized he was there, she took full advantage.
    ApYEt.png
    ApYsZ.png
    ApYtc.png
    ApYtv.png

    This time, before he snuck off, he serenaded her.

    CHAPTER 3.6
    Everyday moments

    Tyler takes a keen interest in teaching his son.
    05-20-18_12-39-44_AM.png

    Snow leaves to volunteer at a bakesale, leaving them alone for bonding time. Zippy zips over to see what they're doing.

    Playtime with Dad before nap.
    05-20-18_12-51-31_AM.png

    During Forrest's nap, Snow and Tyler have some 'alone time' of their own. They come together in the living room for music and family time afterwards but wait... what is this picture about? Snow's expression looks a little off. She almost looks...sick?
    05-20-18_10-50-28_AM.png

    Secret revealed!
    Eating_4_two.png


    CHAPTER 3.7
    Trouble

    Yes, Snow was pregnant again! They had the whims so Try for Baby was allowed. What became of it was not to be expected. As with Forrest, I did not peek to see what gender she would be having. ...Or how many. What came next had me chuckling outloud.
    05-20-18_1-00-03_PM.png

    Lets count the cribs. One....Two....Three! Forrest nearly wet himself when he saw them all. Thankfully he made it to the potty on time. And also thankfully, he was happy to meet them. He'll be a great big brother. (I had to build a large girl's room in the basement.)

  • OJennOJenn Posts: 8,429 Member
    @debjameswhite - I love the renovations on the third floor of their home. That guy that Persephone met looks really cute I hope the two of them can become more than acquaintances. Congrats to Colwyn on his first successful delivery! Persephone seems like a good kid, even if Billy looks like a bad boy. I can see why Colwyn might be a tiny bit worried. Aww it sucks that the date was ruined by someone dying - that always seems to kill the mood!

    @Rawla - Little Forrest is a cutie, I love all the pics of him with his parents. Thank goodness for Tyler, who knows what would have happened if he wasn't there to put out the fire. Congrats on another baby for Snow and Tyler! Oh my god Snow had THREE wowee!! Looks like we both lucked out in the baby department, just means plenty of heirs to choose from.

    @OJenn - Yes we both had triplets in our family. lol Thanks for the comments! :smiley:




    Its fun to see multiples but it was too hectic for me to deal with. So I aged them all up to YA just now and have chosen an heir. Obvious choice in this instance is the firstborn. For many reasons. I grew attached to him. He's got blue eyes. He's handsome. And he's got the best traits. Here they all are. Forrest is the heir.

    Hello grandfather Vincent. I thought of a club for the heirs throughout the generations. A jungle adventure to start it off. What do you think?
    05-22-18_6-39-06_PM.png

    Vincent thought it was a great idea. So did Fang. Fang was not one of the heirs but put up such a stink about being left out that he was brought along just to shut him up. Dad Tyler, Grandfather Vincent, Uncle Fang and Forrest headed out to the jungle to test their worthiness. No sooner had Uncle Fang set his feet upon the foreign soil then he was complaining.
    05-22-18_8-42-30_PM.png

    Uncle Fang had troubles from the very start. Bees!
    05-22-18_8-20-08_PM.png

    Passing the bridge of no return, a name on a sign that brought warning as well as smiles to all faces but one. Despite Uncle Fang's attitude he was determined to keep up.
    05-22-18_8-43-25_PM.png

    Through many tests and trials in the jungles and ruins of the ancient civilization they'd found, those that were chosen as heir or mate to an heir proved themselves worthy. Forrest was the last to come through the gauntlet, proving that he had been the chosen one of his generation and well deserved.
    05-22-18_9-12-44_PM.png

    Uncle Fang, though he was proven brave to a point did not pass all tests. He went home with praise for what he had accomplished, a change in his attitude forever made for the better. But he was not to join the heirs and he was alright with this. Grandfather Vincent, Father Tyler and Forrest celebrated quietly back at the cantina with little words spoken between them. No words were needed. Just smiles and supportive and proud looks shared between them said it all. Great Grandfather Julio called them after with words of pride for each of them. He had been too old to go but his heart had been with them. Because Julio had been the first of them all, he would also share a place in the Wolf Pack club and deservedly too.
    05-23-18_10-30-14_AM.png

    They would return home the next day.

    @Rawla - I love how inseparable Forrest and Hennah were as besties and congratulations to them on their festival wedding, those are always so magical! I always love a good club especially when it means sims get more time together with family. The crew looked like that had a blast in the Jungle! That is such a good pack!

    Julio became part of the Wolf Pack club.

    05-24-18_9-31-49_PM.png



    Author's Note: I've been trying to fulfill their social whims that pop up. Forrest finally got one to Try for Baby. I did not give Hennah the birth control this time. I will not be checking to see which gender or how many she'll have until birth time. Its more exciting that way.

    Birthday Update
    In my last update we got the notification that the triplets were moving on to childhood!
    286cde9c44.png

    No birthday would be complete without a party so Joy and Phillip threw one for their little trio. Joy started things off by setting up on the grill for some tasty things.

    @OJenn An update!! LOVED it. <3 The kids mingled (and made messes LOL). The family portrait pictures were amazing! Loved how they wore matching outfits. And the triplets and children, woot! They grew up wonderfully! I can't wait to see which one will be chosen for heir. I know I'd have a very hard time choosing. :smiley:


    Also, Hennah just gave birth.
    TRUE SPOILER...
    Its a girl! Meet Little Wolf. The newest member of the family pack.

    @OJenn and @Rawla I'm so happy you both posted. This line I wrote is as far as I got last night. I had a terrible headache and ended up in bed. I did start a new house for Persephone though. I'm not really done with Colwyn yet but I don't like their house. Not one of my best. Anyways! I owe comments :)

    @Rawla Forrest and Hennah are adorable! I love them as a couple. I love the boyfriend/girlfriend picture! So cool to have a festival wedding! I avoid that festival with my couples...I have such issues with flirty spouse. I love clubs...haven't done those in a while either. Poor Uncle Fang hehe. The jungle is awesome though. Aww they look so cute when they get the nooboo news. Aww congrats on the baby girl :) She's a cutie.

    @OJenn I love LOVE the plaid matching outfits they were all wearing! I like Philip's new hair as well. They're all grown up now. <sigh> I love the pictures! Man I wish the sims would just come out with something like that so I didn't have to mess with cc to get poses! They are so cute. I especially love the one where Caroline is touching Joy's face.

    @Rawla- Aww little Wolf ♥ such a cute name for her I love how she turned out I hope she will be a good mix of her parents as she ages up.

    @Debjameswhite - Glad you enjoyed the family fun in my last update! And yes I would love to have the ability to take pictures like that as a family, posing that many sims can get challenging even for more :lol:

    Now that the triplets are children they definitely have their own personalities. Chaz is a bit of a downer and always seems to be sad about something despite not having the gloomy trait.
    b79716cf35.jpg

    Caroline is most often doing homework and sitting at a computer desk chatting away in the children's chatroom.

    And Leanna loves her leisure time and spends it cruising the various networks on tv, her favorite so far seems to be the World Culture channel.

    Everyone once in a while I catch them all getting their homework done together.

    She ended up with the Artistic Prodigy aspiration while her siblings both have the whiz kid aspiration.

    Somewhere along the line it was time for a bit of a makeover for Joy since Phillip had his adult makeover already. She also completed her aspiration as well, Renaissance Sim.

    It was only a matter of time before one of the kids started a phase, but two at the same time?!

    Joy had finally maxed her parenting skill and she was not having any of their shenanigans

    Later Caroline ended up apologizing to her mother and explained that she and her brother are just going through a phase.

    And on a final note Phillip is still jogging around the neighborhood shirtless ♥

    @OJenn - Going through a phase with two at once?! What a challenge that must be. I loved seeing them doing their homework together. Poor Chaz looks so down. Caroline was so sweet to apologize to mom. What a good kid. I loved Joy's expression: "not having any of their shenanigans". lol Good for her. Phillip, tryyy to behave and put on a shirt? Goodness. lol :smiley:

    Can't wait to see everyone's families in Seasons (if you decide to purchase). :smiley:
