Since the entire household has become vastly irritated with Alexander's slow skilling, he has planted an enormous garden in the backyard. Basically, he bought five of everything at the grocery store and is having to plant all of them. He's already jumped from 7 to 9.5!
Meanwhile, the house's little rays of sunshine are . . . loud. And they require much care. Apparently, Lars did not know that Sofia's pregnancy would result in two little bundles of pink who cry much of the time, but, being a stay-at-home dad, he'll need to get acquainted with the idea.
He and his partner-in-crime are turning into real elderly housewives. They cook, clean, tinker, and rock on the front porch bemoaning the idiocy of the next generation. Because gender roles are for chumps.
Meanwhile, Patricia threw a Campaign Fundraiser at the local pool. It looks like Anais Willheim is the instigator of the soon-to-be invasion of the mermaid sims! The question is: how did she become a mermaid in a world without mermaids?
It was at this same fundraiser that Patricia went into labor, frightening all of the guests. They all climbed out of the pool and started to freak out, then figured that was enough mayhem for one day and jumped right back into the pool, leaving Patricia to deliver a baby all alone.
And so it was that Edward Cross was brought into the world.
"Okay, now you
have to admit that we're outnumbered!"
"No, darling, there are three of them and four of us."
"Why am I the only person in this house who can do multiplication?"
Lars devotes himself to activities that will reduce his baby-induced stress--like extinguishing fiery paparazzi.
Alexander has taken to gardening in his swim trunks, which is something that no one wants, needs, or should have to see.
Lars and Sofia are still very much in love, if you were wondering. She often wishes that he would walk around in his swim trunks, but he's a little more self-concious of his body than Alexander. Which seems like it should be the other way around.
Every few nights, they find their way into the bedroom together, safely out of sight of their girls.
"Do you want another baby, Lars?"
"What? No! Get away from me!"
On the twins' birthday, Lars made a run for the hills with Sofia in pursuit, leaving Patricia and Alexander to supervise the birthday party. As you can see, Patricia was less than overjoyed by this, especially with her and Alexander's recent divorce. (Funny story: Somehow, they weren't married when they entered the household! They could Woohoo, sleep in the same bed, etc. but they weren't married! Weird, right?)
Elizabeth, Katherine's twin, made it to the cake first. As you can see, she is a lovely toddler who looks just like Lars with Sofia's hair. Chances are she'll have more of Sofia's features when she's older.
Katherine, the heir, was next! It looks like she's a Sofia clone, but I think she has Lars' eyes.
Let the toddler training begin!
