Chapter 88: Baby Time


Mac: Oh this is impossible.
Mal: Just got to push through those last two reps, the rest is easy.





Mac: Easy? You call this easy? Arghhh, give me running any day.





Julius: Is Caleb asleep?
Zahra: Hm hmm.





Julius: You look more beautiful each time I see you.





Zahra: I can't wait to be married!
Julius: Not long now. Have a great day at work hun.





Oh! I thought Caleb was asleep!
Jasmine: I just thought I'd top him up so that he slept longer.
Either that or poop his pants quicker!
Jasmine: lol watcher!





Oh, you're wide awake now aren't you Caleb! lol You are so cute!





Wow! You're looking mega pumped!
Julius: That scientific shower sure does get you energized!





Mal: Need any pointers?
Julius: No, I'm good thanks.





Mac: I could look at him all day. Something quite special about your grandchild.
I know. Besides that, he actually is pretty cute.
Mac: I'm glad Malakai was able to meet his grand son.
Oh I'm sure he'll live for ages yet Mac.
Mac: Malakia had his last warning a while ago now. Every day is borrowed time.
Oh Mac, I'm not ready for Mal to go.
Mac: Me neither watcher, me neither.





Mal: There you are!
Mac: I was cuddling our grandson.
Mal: I wonder what he'll do with his life?
Mac: Whatever it is you can be sure he'll succeed, after all he'll have a houseful of 'encouragers'! lol
Malakai: True!





Malakai: I love you Mackenzie.
Mackenzie: I love you more.
Mal: Impossible.





Mac: Coming for a swim?
Mal: You bet!





Woo! A promotion! Way to go Zahra!
Zahra: Thanks watcher.





Blaize: He's smiling at me!





Blaize: Isn't it funny how babies make you want to smile and coo silly stuff... don't you wee man?
I know...It's so funny but you just can't help yourself!





Blaize: Woah! Hungry little man? I guess you're going to need lots of food to grow up big and strong! He is so cute! lol

[Shewolf13]

I love this family sooo much!  They are all so sweet and awesome!  Even the tension from earlier was due to the fact that they all care immensely about each other.  --sighs-- Grim, you just stay away a good long time now!

[SFL]

What a nice family! Everyone getting to know the new addition to the household.    It is just update after update. Good job, Playalot, I am loving the family (and story).

[Nettlejuice]

I know they all look the same but Caleb is so precious. Congratulations to Zahra on her promotion, no doubt she'll also have her adult life free to do as she pleases =D

Chapter 89: Jasmine's Elder Birthday


What are you doing?
Julius: Just drawing a few more mathematical diagrams for Zah so she can put them around the hospital. Helps her to stay focused.
Cool. That's a nice thing to do.
Julius: There isn't anything I wouldn't do for Zah.





Julius: Morning wee man, ready for your bottle?





Julius: Whoop! Maybe a quick diaper change first eh? Mr poopy pants.





Who's the cake for?
Dude: Jasmine. *sigh*
Oh. I see.





Jasmine: A beautiful cake dad, thanks.
Dude: You're welcome.
Jasmine: Hmm, what to wish for...








Dude: Happy birthday my darling.
Jasmine: Thanks dad.





Blaize: Happy birthday sis, welcome to the world of creaking bones and bladder failure!
Jasmine: Oh yuk! lol, Thanks Blaize!





Mac: Happy birthday sis, I love you.
Jasmine: Thanks Mac, I love you too.





You still up here?
Julius: Yeah, I should drag myself away, but I don't really want to.
You're fine. Everyone's just chatting and stuff.





Oh I think Caleb's turning into a daddy's boy!
Julius: I think you mean a man's man.... daddy's boy sounds... well strange.
Well, either way Caleb sure loves you.





Dude: Argh, another bad draw. Think my luck's deserted me.
Mal: Either that or I didn't shuffle the deck well.
Dude: Or maybe you shuffled the deck too well....
Mal: Lol





Mal: Hmm... yeah, I don't think I shuffled the deck very well at all....
Dude: Restart?
Mal: Might as well, I got nothing.





Julius: Hmm, you guys been fixing the deck?
Mal: lol, no.





Dude: Hmm...I'll take a pass.
Julius: I think you can't, you took a pass last time round.
Dude: Oh rats!





Zahra: Well, you be a good boy for everyone and mummy will see you when she gets home.
Have a good shift at the hospital Zahra.
Zahra: Thanks watcher. ummm... do you want to come too?
Sure!





Zahra: Hmm, your temperature is 101. I think we can say you have a fever Mr Smith.





Zhara: Ah ha! I see....





Zahra: Just stand in the middle, it doesn't hurt. In fact you won't really feel anything. All you'll see is a bright light.





Mr Smith: Oh I'm so hot!
Zahra: We'll have you feeling better very soon.





Zahra: There we go, holding still there. Thank you. All done!





Zahra: Well Mr Smith I think we can reliably say you have a contracted LLama Flu.
Mr Smith: That would certainly explain why I feel so terrible.





Zahra: There we go, all done.
Mr Smith: I feel wonderful! Thank you so much!
Zahra: You are most welcome. Stay well Mr Smith!

[Nettlejuice]

Daddy's boy definitely is not what we want to call Caleb, lol. Great to see Zahra back at work (actively this time). Happy birthday, Jas, it feels too soon 

[Playalot]

@Nettlejuice  @SLF @Shewolf13 , thanks for your comments! The doctor career is proving very, very tricky. Zahra actually lost over half her progress bar during that work shift as she *cough*  the watcher misdiagnosed a patient. We had completed all the possible tests and still had three illnesses to choose from...and despite staying late and correctly diagnosing two more patients we only clawed back one segment.
I was quite stunned how much progress we lost, the bar went right down into the red! Eeek! Not good! Luckily Zahra could phone to negotiate a bonus so we ended up back at the half way point...but that was where she had actually started the day! I think Zahra will manage to max out the career due to her still only being a young adult but I don't think we'll get it done much before she turns an elder. Time will tell I guess.

I've got a few more chapters to post then I'll be caught up to where I am in-game!

Chapter 90: The Wedding Part One


Sorry to wake you, but I need someone to get Caleb...
Mal: I'll go....*yawn*
Mac: Thanks hun, I'll get up in a min.





Hope you don't mind, it's just that Zahra's only just got home from the hospital...
Mal: I don't mind in the least! It's lovely having Caleb all to myself.
Cool
Mal: Well, the big day eh watcher!
Indeed. I love weddings.
Mal: So do I. How 'bout you Caleb? I bet you love 'em too... *Happy sigh* I love my wee grand son...





Mal:...and then he just went back off to sleep in my arms...
Julius: Ah! You must have the  golden touch then! Lol
Mal: He's a sweet wee fellow... Now have you got everything organised for today?
Julius: Yep, think so. Just need the cake.
Mal: Right, I'll bake that!
Julius! Awesome! That's everything then.





Gosh! Be careful, last thing we need is the groom getting fried!
Julius: lol, I got it.





Dude: Good to see you Katelyn. Got your dress all organised for the wedding?
Katelyn: Yep. I went shopping yesterday in Magnolia Promenade. It's lovely down there.
How many drinks are you making Mal?
Mal: Just a couple more, don't want to be caught short during the party.





Zahra: O.K. here we go, calling it up!
Jasmine: Ohhh so exciting!





Julius: Oh my plumbob! You look stunning! Are you ready?
Zahra: I am so ready!





Julius: I knew you were special from the minute I saw you caring for others, for your friends and your family. I never dreamed though that one day you would be my wife but Zahra, I want to spend the rest of my life and every minute in between, with you by my side.





Zahra: I always knew that I wanted to marry you, even when I was just a little girl, I knew that marrying you would be all my dreams coming true.





Dude: Aww cripes, they'll have me crying in a minute.
<sniff> Me too...





Julius: I think this is where we exchange rings. By the way... I love you.





Oh! Why is no one sitting down?
Dude: I don't know, it doesn't matter.... the ceremony is so beautiful.
Mal: Oh Mac, our little girl is now married! I'm so happy!
Mac: So am I...how beautiful they both are!





Congratulations Mr and Mrs Julius and Zahra Hollingsworth!





Julius: Oh I love you.
Zahra: I love you too husband!





Everybody cheered and celebrated as the bride cut the cake.





And as the bride and groom began to share the first slice.... Malakai's long life began to come to an end.





Julius: What on earth is HE doing here?
Don't let Zahra see....oh no....Julius, quick, take Zahra inside before she see's....





Julius: Huney, let's go in and have our first dance....





Blaize: Oh Mac....it's so terrible....
Grim: Well, you Hollingsworths are sure making a big fuss about this...





Clinton: Oh Malakai! You will be missed by us all...
<sob> Thank you for everything you did Malakai... you have no idea how much I will miss you.





Grim: So is everyone finished crying...?
Shut up Grim. You've picked the worst possible time on purpose and you're not welcome here.
Grim: Too bad watcher, I've got a job to do.





Mac: Oh my husband, oh Malakai....how will I live without you?

[Playalot]

Chapter 91: The Wedding Part Two, And A Birthday



Oh Mac, come inside.
Mac: I'm not leaving my husband out here all alone.
Grim: Good grief, what's all the fuss about.
Go away Grim...Your jobs done so just leave.
Grim: I know when I'm not wanted.
No you don't , unfortunately.





Zahra better not see you Grim...
Grim: Keep your hair on watcher.
Aden: How rude...
Katelyn: I think we should be able to make a formal complaint to someone about this.





Grim: Well, you sure know how to throw a killer party watcher! Hahahaha!





Jaron: You sure look beautiful Zahra. Congratulations!
Zahra: Thank you! Are you enjoying yourself?
Jaron: Of course...it's... a lovely wedding...





Mac, please, come inside....<sob> You can't sit out here all night.
Mac: I'm not leaving Mal. I'm not.





Aden: Who's going to tell Zahra?
Aline: Julius will....let her enjoy as much of her wedding as she can...Good grief, it's just so awful.
Clinton: It's terrible. I still can't believe it.





Julius: Dry your tears my love. Your dad always said that he wanted everyone to remember the good times.
Zahra: I can't ... I can't stop crying. It feels like I never will.





Julius: There, let me see. Malakia was so proud of you and he got his hearts desire which was to see you married....
Zahra: <Sob> I know... I just miss him so much.




Zahra: Kiss me.
Julius: I love you.





Katelyn: Mac...I'm so sorry. Everyone loved Mal.
Mac: I know. Thank you. You go inside and keep Zahra company. I'll be in soon.





Oh gosh... Caleb's birthday too.
Julius: I can't wait to hug him.





Caleb: Whoop!
Happy birthday Caleb!





Julius: Happy birthday my wee man!
Caleb: Thanks dad!





Zahra: Happy birthday darling. It's so good to be able to give you a big hug!
Caleb: Lol, love you mum.





Dude: Come on love... Malakai wouldn't want you being alone.
Mac: I know....





Oh Blaize....
Blaize: I miss him so much....
I know.





Mac: I don't think I can ever be happy again watcher.
You just take all the time you need. You're not alone you know. Even though it feels like that for you... you're not alone.





Dude: Good girl... keep your chin up for Caleb's sake. And for your mum, she's going to need us to be strong for her.
Zahra: Oh grandpa.





Danika: Such a sad thing for your birthday Caleb, are you ok?
Caleb: Yeah, I am. I guess it's my job to keep everyone happy...you know, remind them that life goes on no matter how sad it feels.
Danika: That's a very wise thought for such a young boy.
Caleb: Well, we Hollingsworths are a pretty smart bunch ya know!

[sdhoey]

Oh no!!!! Grim stinks

[SFL]

Grim has such a cold heart (if he even has one at all!). At a wedding too? I was just thinking about how I haven't really been seeing Grim lately.      Well, at least Caleb had a proper-ish birthday.

[Shewolf13]

Nooooo!  That's not... that's far too cruel!  Even for Grim!  Her WEDDING DAY!!?  Really?

[Playalot]

Yeah.  That's one wedding I don't want to repeat. We made it to gold anyway as I was determined not to let Grim ruin the day. Grim sucks.

[Nettlejuice]

Oh no, Caleb missed out on meeting his grandpa  RIP, Mal, sucks he was taken his daughter's wedding day.

[Tigerskin]

Why is it Grim likes to wait for a celebration/party to do his thang?....

I really liked Mal
