Another Hollingsworth Dynasty Story - Completed

[Magpie2012]

RIP Cristine, even though I really don't like you.
Cracked up at the Sim-meld of Zahra and Dude lmao
Justin, you sod! How can you say that to your wife who's pregnant! I'm going to sic the Hollingsworths on you now!!!

[KRae]

That is probably the meanest, saddest thing a father to be could say to his pregnant wife. Devastating.

[Playalot]

@Shewolf13 , yeah, bit of a downer for sure.
@Nettlejuice , I got a full day of play in to speed things along a little. I'm pretty sure Justin will love his nooboo. Sims who hate kids usually cope ok. Well, mind you he's been really <tense> lately. Like he's got a double dose of the hates kid trait. It's quite cool how sims can react differently though so I shouldn't complain.
@Magpie2012 , Yeah...it was pretty shocking. Poor Abi
@KRae, I would like to be able to defend Justin, but I totally can't. It stunk.

Chapter 157: Getting On


Dude: 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.

They can make it. It seems like the Hollingsworths had something like this before.

@sdhoey , in my first dynasty attempt I had a kid hating spouse. But yeah, nothing ever rolls completely smoothly for the Hollingsworths.   

[Joria]

*sigh, looks sad* Abi is so brave.  I guess if Justin just kind of ignores the nooboo for the most part he'll be ok and then they will be ok.  Too sad all the way around.
Loved the selfie!

[mpart]

No worries about sims hating nooboos, I have a whole legacy full of them! If Justin will just relax, he can enjoy the time before a screaming nooboo comes! My sims that don't like children seem to love them for some odd reason, I think they just don't like other peoples kids. I missed some updates. Dude, you are still awesome even if your wrinkly and EA messed your beautifulness up.  I have to say I think your doing awesome with following all the rules! I'm terrible at following challenge rules, I love using cheats,it makes the game more interesting.

[Nettlejuice]

Just wait till the nooboo comes, Justin will totally love him or her, I bet. If not then you know, some of us may want to do something about it 

[LenaLJ]

Just catching up again again, I still love your stories Playalot, the family is wonderfull

[MarianT]

Catching up again. The first time I saw Justin, I thought -- "It's Clark Kent!" Too bad he hates nooboos, he's going to have gorgeous ones.

[audbooh]

A month of vacation was sure worth it since I didn't have to wait for many updates! Congrats to Abi and Justin! Here's to hoping that Justin will love his nooboo. He probably will, since it'll be a Hollingsworth! As always, Dude is being funny.  . He's my favourite. Update soon! Please!

[Playalot]

@Joria, it is pretty sad for Abi, she's taking in her stride though. 
@mpart, I think it was the negative impact on Abi and Justin's relationship that is the most annoying. Despite having all requirements met I just can not get them to be soul mates. I find that really sad and annoying at the same time. I just have to ignore it and move on. It means I can't complete the 'Soul Mates' Aspiration which is a loss of points to buy more Potions of Youth with... to be honest I don't really need the points but it's a bummer I can't get that aspiration finished with the pair of them.
@Nettlejuice , I'm sure you're right. Lol I don't think he'll need a 'seeing-to' as he really is very sweet to Abi....just not so much 'the bump' 
@LenaLJ , Good to know you're still reading alone. Thanks! I've made other sims that I really like but somehow I just keep coming back to Winston. 
@MarianT , I'm so glad you thought that! I took Justin to the mirror and gave him a make-over just to reverse most of it as he just so suits the whole 'Clark Kent' thing he's got going on. 
@audbooh , hope you had a lovely vacation.  Updates coming very soon!

Chapter 158: Waiting For the Nooboo


I'm starting to think you're seriously addicted to fiddling around on that thing.
Dude: I do not fiddle.
Calibrate then.
Dude: Does it bother you?
Ummm, not really I guess.
Dude: Well then maybe you could stop commenting on it eh.





Hiya.
Julien: Hi watcher.
Whatcha gonna do to fill up the rest of your day off?
Julien: Hmm, finish my book, some yoga, maybe cook something tasty later... Don't know other than that really.
K. I can't think of anything for you to do really so that sounds all fine.





What are you making?
Justin: I thought I'd make some shelves for the babies room
Oh!
Justin: What?




Well... we don't really have a nursery.
Justin: Why on earth not?
Umm...I guess I'm a lazy builder. I just kinda plonk the crib down and then pack it away once the nooboo ages up.
Justin: I see. Well I really think you should have a least a small nursery. I mean just think of all the fun you could have decorating it.
Meh.
Justin: You not into decorating nurseries?
Umm.. more like I just can't be bothered going to all the effort for a room that is just for show.
Justin: And everyone gives me a hard time for being negative towards nooboos.... Anyway. I've got to go met Abi.
K then. See ya later.





Abi: Hi hun.
Justin: Hi babe. Any luck?
Abi: Lol, no not really, it's just been nice to have some peace and quiet though.




Justin: I thought I might say hi to nooboo....
Abi: Oh yeah!




Justin: Hi noboo, daddy here. I hope you're being good to mummy.
Abi: Lol...aww. That's so sweet Justin.




Justin: Anything to make you happy darling. Besides.... I think it's finally starting to sink in that we are going to be parent's. Like, really!! lol
Abi: Oh Justin. I'm so happy you are happy about this.





Justin: Have I told you how beautiful you are today? Because you are. I adore you Abi.





Justin: I love you Abi and I don't want you being sad because of anything I've done, or not done, ever again.









Justin: For my beautiful wife.
Abi: Oh! Justin! Thank you, I love you so much.






Justin: I think it's time I took you home love. As gorgeous as it is here, I don't want you getting over tired.





Justin: You know what wife?
Abi: Lol, what husband?




Justin: You look really smexy from here.
Abi: Lol, shhhh...*giggle* That's terrible!
Justin: Lol.




The Next Morning...

Abi: Ooo my back...urgh.




Justin: Take it easy today.
Abi: I will.
Justin: Promise?
Abi: Lol, yes, I promise!
Justin: OK love. I'll see you after work... unless you'd rather have me stay home with you?
Abi: No, I'm fine. I'm just going to watch some T.V, read a book...I'll be fine.





Julien: Hunny, I think you really should be sitting down while you listen to some music. Just saying.
Abi: Ooo...Good idea. I think maybe the nooboo might come today.




Julien: Oh gosh! That's soo exciting love! I'm going to be a granddad today! Lol.
Abi: Maybe today....dad. I'm not totally sure...





Julien: Whichever day's just fine! Lol. Love you darling.




Abi: Justin's really getting used to the whole nooboo idea dad. It's great.
Julien: Oh I'm so pleased for you love. He's a good man. I knew you would work it out.
Abi: Thanks dad. K, well I'm going to head off to work.
Julien: Are you....
Abi:....Yes, I'm quite sure. For goodness sake don't you start trying to keep my home too. Last time I checked the watcher was going to make me take a day off.
Julien: Come home early if you need to.





Hey! Where do you think you're going?
Abi: Work. I'm getting a promotion today so there's no way I'm missing out on that!
Hmm...
Abi: See ya!

[Nettlejuice]

I love the moment between Abi and Justin and the close up screenshot. I hope Abi gets the promotion and doesn't have the nooboo at work.
