Wow, Shane is so freakin' handsome! Mina must have uncovered some secret genetic formula that enables her features to remain so prominent generations upon generations later. It'd be awesome to see how her looks fare against the all-mighty Steel genes. This was a nice chapter. Keep up the great work.
He is gorgeous! I was really pleased. If she goes back at any point, I imagine it'll be different descendants. Kind of kicking myself for not grabbing him for the sim bin.
Being a yakshi isn't always easy. Sometimes, you take one for the team. Fortunately, relationship transmogrifier is here to help.
Truth.

I wanted to get out of Oasis Landing as quickly as possible, but before I did, I made a quick errand to the plumbot emporium. Surely that's more ethical than say, the lottery archive. I made a purchase.
We can't seem to give it a name, so right now it is just called Plumbot. I think it's a she.
Plumbot is very taken with Gabe. That's good, because I need all the help I can get. That said, I've never seen a kid less impressed with The Claw.
To celebrate Leisure Day and general good cheer, I threw a pool party and invited family only. In true Starlight Shores fashion, half the town showed up anyway.
The biggest shock for me was that Wylie had become a merman. That pastel green tail is so strange on him, though Wendy thought it was hilarious.
Juliet looks to be trying out a new hair color (no idea why that is). She and Abe spent time praising their sister's improved guitar skill by the pool.
If the change had been intended to circumvent recognition, it was a massive failure.
It was perfect weather, the pool was the absolute ideal temperature, and everyone seemed to be in a great mood!
Ishta and Wendy continued their traditional competitions. I fear what will happen when prom rolls around for those two.
I can't think of a time when I was more perfectly content.
Into the late afternoon the party raged. Zadie had a water balloon fight for an unseemly long time with one of the women from the expensive part of town.
Ishta fell asleep on her towel.
And I read my thousandth pregnancy book while I was still small enough to lay on my tummy.
If it weren't for the zombies, I think we would've stayed outside all night. Either way, the party got rave reviews.
After that, my pregnancy took the front seat in what I could do by the day. I got pretty close to maxing out social networking while Plumbot helped with Gabe.
I even fell a little bit for a man who came to the pool party. I would love if he'd be interested in fathering one of my babies.
Gabe had his birthday and grew up a bot fan. Small wonder with Plumbot joining our family at such a young age.
He's a beautiful boy.
And possibly the only person I know who finds the idea of Mina Yakshi's pregnant belly interesting or novel.
I think he'll make a great big brother. He takes life by the horns.
Zadie also had a birthday. Poor thing, it was two hours before prom.
And I ruined her cake too by going into labor.
The kids piled into the limo for prom and Plumbot drove me to the hospital in the motive mobile.
Zadie stayed behind and made the most of having peace and quiet while she worked on her adult look.
I also suspect she invited that posh woman back over. She only has 24 hours to sort out where she's going to move when she leaves home, so I suppose it's fair enough.
I gave birth to a healthy little girl, half from the future. Her name is Eloi. I got her home and spent the night rocking her. I held her little wriggling body close while I waited for Zadie to do her thing, for Gabe to settle into his big boy bed, and for my teens to come home and tell me what fresh drama prom has brought on us.
