Chapter 157: Getting OnDude: I can't believe you left us all over night needing ambrosia.
Caleb: I know, that was way too close for comfort watcher.
Zahra: I have to agree. I mean, really watcher, what were you thinking? Trying to do away with us eh?
Mac: I wouldn't even suggest that as a joke right now Zahra.
Look, I don't see what the problem is. You're all eating ambrosia now. Grim's nowhere in sight. Sheesh. Anyone would think I've been mistreating you all the way you're all moaning at me.Dude: I don't think you should leave it so long before giving us ambrosia. I mean a whole 8 hours with our age bars all bubbly is probably really pushing it.
O.K. Alright. I'm hearing you. I just thought it would save us one lot of ambrosia eventually if I pushed the time out by half a day each time.Mac: Until Grim comes the moment the bubbles start next time and it's all over.
*Grumpy sigh* K. Next time you guys can eat it immediately. Anyway, nice way to start the day eh. Better than cornflakes. Caleb: Oh poor Great Granddad, he's so tired these days he's falling asleep the moment he sits down.
Mac: I think it's 'cos he was up pretty late talking to Abi.
Zahra: Why? What's happened?
Mac: It seems Justin hates kids.
*Stunned silence*
I always think it's pretty weird that's called a 'fireball'. Really it's just a spat out river of fire... Actually, it's pretty gross when you think about it.Julien: Morning watcher.
Morning. How's Abi?Julien: She's fine. She knows she hs everyone's support so she's actually pretty calm about everything.
Nice. I think I'll go have a quick chat with her.Justin: I don't deserve your understanding Abi.
Abi: No you don't *rueful laugh* but you've got it anyway. That's what marriage is, through the rough spots and through the bliss.
Justin: You are the most important sim to me in the entire Simnation and I'll do anything to support you. You know that, right.
Abi: I do...
Justin: But?
Abi: I just wish you could be happy about our nooboo...
Justin: I will be...I'm trying...I am...I really am Abi.
Abi: I love you.
Justin: Not as much as I love you. I'll see you after work.
Abi: Can't wait.
Have a good day Justin.
Justin: Will do. Look after Abi for me.
Of course. You look serious.Justin: I've got a big board meeting this morning. Millions ride on the outcome somehow though, I find myself just wanting to stay home with Abi.
Well, you know what, considering how last night when down, that's probably a good thing.Abi: Gosh, learning to play is a lot harder that I thought. This sounds terrible.
Dude: Just takes a little time.
Abi: I don't really have a lot of time. I've got my first work shift soon.
Dude: Well, maybe we should have been working on your guitar skills while you were still a teen.
Abi: Yeah, the watcher didn't tell me I'd need guitar skills to be a comedian.
Oh please, you only need to level 3, you'll be there in less than an hour or two.... *eye roll* All the drama!Julien: *deep breath* Ahhhh. So peaceful.
Mac: Hmmm, it is lovely out here.
Mac: Ouch! I might give doing a handstand a miss.
Julien: You ok?
Mac: *Groan* Yep. Whew. Might join you in the corpse pose though. Looks quite inviting about now.
Welcome home. How did your meeting go? Oh! Did you wreck the dollhouse?Justin: Umm...yeah. *Embarrassed cough*
*Awkward silence*
So this is the punching bag. Punching bag meet Justin. But in all seriousness Justin, this is a much better outlet for your tension around nooboos and stuff eh.Justin: I'm trying watcher, I really am. I just don't know what's got into me all of a sudden. It's like my life's been turned upside down and I'm stuggling....
It's just a stage. I mean Abi's not going to be pregnant forever and I know you'll love your nooboo. You're sucha great guy and you love Abi so much. Trust me, this will work out.Justin: It better 'cos I don't really like who I've suddenly become.
A little old for selfies don't ya think.Dude: You're only as old as you feel watcher and I feel pretty young.
*under her breath* I wished you still looked young.Hey! How'd your work shift go?Julien: Good thanks. How's everyone?
Good. So.... you know how you felt pretty bad about Cristine and stuff?Julien: Hmm.
You feel better now?Julien: Yeah. Still twinges of regret now and then but nothing I can't cope with.
K. Maybe you should get out a bit more...meet some new people....ladies and you know.Julien: *grinning* Ladies and you know. lol You trying to match make there watcher?
Maybe...Justin: Love you babe.
Abi: Do you want to feel the nooboo?
Justin: *Starting to sweat* <Gulp> Sure, of course I do...
Justin: *nervous laugh* Hehehe...isn't it.... <gulp> remarkable.
Justin: There we go. *Quickly changing the subject* So how was your day? How was work? Did you meet any of your co-workers? How did your jokes go?
Abi: *sigh* It was good love. I didn't have time to meet anyone but I'm sure I will soon.
Justin: You are so beautiful. I'm sorry I'm not the husband you wanted.
Abi: Justin! You are the husband I wanted... I want. This isn't going to break us up. I won't let it. I love you.
Justin: I love you too Abi.
