Evie’s Big Day
Shari: Does anyone remember whose turn it is?
Andrew: I haven’t got a clue.
Fig: No idea.

Fig: Evie, you’ve always been more than patient with me. I know I’m a dunce sometimes, but will you marry me?
Evie: That’s the worst proposal ever! You didn’t even say you loved me!
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Bluebell: Moo! Mmoo…oo? (translation: Didn’t see THAT coming! Maybe it wasn’t the best proposal, but who does she think she is?)
Evie: What am I saying!? Fig, I’m sorry! I’ve been really emotional lately. Ask me again. Please, please…ask me again!

Fig: *takes a deep breath* Okay. Let’s keep this simple. *takes another breath* Evie, I love you. Will you marry me?
Evie: Yes! Oh, thank heavens, yes!
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Bluebell: Moo! Moo moo. (translation: What a relief! If she had rejected him again, I would have swallowed her whole.)
Evie: I’m so happy! And by the way, I think I’m eating for two!
Fig: Oof! I kind of guessed as much.

Evie: Would it be alright with you if we wait until after I have the baby to say our vows. I’ve had my wedding dress picked out since I was a little girl, and I’d rather not be a pregnant bride.
Fig: Of course, Evie. There are two things I need to finish before we can get married anyway.
Cue ominous music…
Daisy: Mama! Why is there an old man dying in my room?
Shari: Well, I suppose it must be his time. Quick! Go get Fig so he can talk to Grim.

Daisy: Wait a second. Are you saying this was a set-up? Mama…you didn’t!
Shari: Don’t be silly, dear. I simply invited Jon Sherrill to join our family club. He’s been here for several days having a perfectly lovely time.
Daisy: But still…
Shari: Honestly! If I hadn’t invited him, poor Jon Sherrill would have died homeless and alone.
Daisy: But did he have to die in my room?
Shari: Well, if you would lock your door…
Fig: Excuse me, but I need to talk to Grim.
Shari: Go right ahead, son.
Fig: So, Grim…this is a little awkward, but can we talk about grilled cheese?
Grim: No worries, Fig, I get this all the time with you legacy folk.

Artemis: Mama Behr, why do we have to go to school?
Shari: I thought you liked school, Artemis. Why don’t you want to go?
Artemis: School is okay, but Papa Behr said you never went, and you’re the smartest person I know.
Shari: Did he now?
Andrew *mumbles* Must have misunderstood me…
Shari: I’ll make you a deal, sweetheart. Once you earn your ‘A’ in school, you don’t have to go back unless you want to.
Artemis: Really?
Shari: Really. I’ll write the excuse notes for you myself.

Apollo: *whispers* That was a close shave, eh, Papa Behr?
Shari: (thinking) Another one bites the dust. Another aspiration that is. And just in time since Andrew and I will celebrate our elder birthdays tonight.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Shari: *sigh* Well, that’s it. My last birthday. Thanks for being here for me girls.
Wendy and Evie: You look great, Mama Behr!

Jamar: Welcome to the club, Andrew. It’s really not that bad.
Andrew: Tell that to my back!

Wendy: Congratulations on completing Vampire Family, my love!
Aster: Thank you! I chose Master Vampire next. Do you think I can finish two vampire aspirations?
Wendy: I know you can. Now, what do I have to do to get some training around here?
Aster: All you have to do is ask.

Early the next morning…
Andrew: Fig! Wake up! Evie had the baby!
Fig: Wha…? Huh..?
Andrew: You’re a father…come on!
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Fig: She’s beautiful! And blue! Why didn’t you call me, Evie?
Evie: There wasn’t time. It just sort of happened. I named her Kara.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Fig: Hey little blueboo. Daddy has to go to work, but I’ll be back soon, okay?
Shari: (in background) She looks just like Fig did at that age.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Fig: I wish I could stay, but I have to work tonight, Evie. If I get my last promotion, would you be ready to get married tomorrow?
Evie: Of course! The question is, will you be ready? Are you feeling tense?
Fig: Not at all! Wendy gave me some good advice. Plus, I bought the Carefree reward, just in case.

And with that, Fig reaches the top of the Musician career, contributes 6 potions of youth to the legacy, and transfers a ton of fish from his inventory to Wendy.

The next morning…
Wendy: This is a beautiful church, but let’s get inside. I’m burning up.

Aster: Congratulations, little brother. On your promotion…the wedding…everything.
Fig: Thanks! I hope you all will visit us soon.
Aster: You can count on it. Mama is going to want to see her granddaughter.

Fig: Just between you and me…there might be another one on the way. Evie and I snuck off at the reception…

Note: I just realized that this is the 2nd update in a row that has ended with Fig and Evie trying for baby. Oh well. These two deserve their happiness. I was actually hoping Evie would have twins the first time, but no such luck. Fingers crossed for another blueboo.
