Vega 1: Round 5

Last round, Aracely Vega and London Caligula welcomed their second child, daughter Kia, at the same time that their older son, Toyota, grew from a toddler to a child. London also achieved his dream of becoming an MVP. Despite all the positive events, London still avoided the "m" word for yet another week.



Good morning, Kia...

Kia: Ugh...morning, mysterious voice.

Ready for your first day of school?

Kia: I guess so...



Spending the day fishing, London?

London: I have the day off. I have to do something.



Uh-oh...I think number 3 is on the way.

Aracely: And we're still not even engaged.



Kia: I heard there were aliens that came and left weird pictures in people's houses...

Mango: No way. Aliens didn't leave those pictures.

Kia: Then who did?

Mango: Um...I don't know. But not aliens.



Glad to see that you're still so hands-on with the kids.

London: What? I'm a good dad.

Yeah...and since you're about to have three children, don't you think it's time you at least got engaged?

Toyota: You and Mom aren't married?

Oops...I thought he knew that already.



As I was saying earlier...number three is on the way.



Toyota: Mom, are you really not married?

Aracely: No...I'll talk to you about it after school, ok?



Aracely: So your father just never wanted to get engaged. And then we had you, and then Kia...it all just happened so fast. It's not that we don't love each other. I'm sure it will happen someday.

Sure, keep telling yourself that, Aracely.



Happy birthday, dear Toyota...



Not bad. So which aspiration would you like?



Toyota: I want a big family.

Alright, family it is.



London, come on. You're obviously going to be with this family for the long haul. Why won't you just go through with the wedding already?

London: I may love my kids, but I'm still a romance sim at heart. I just can't see myself being married.



Um, Toyota? What are you wearing?

Toyota: This is just what I grew up into.

I think a new outfit is in order....

London: I'm actually going to have to side with the mysterious voice on this one.



Ok, that's do-able.



Kia: Mom, I got an A+!

Great job, Kia, but you might want to let your mom sleep for awhile. Being pregnant is tiring.



Aracely: You know, this will be our third baby. Isn't it a little silly that we're not married yet?

London: It's not silly. It's modern.

Whatever you say, London.



It looks like it's time!



Just one more...



So...

Aracely: It's a girl! Meet baby Lexus!



Kia: Why does the baby have to sleep in my room?

Because there's only three bedrooms in your house, and she can't share a room with Toyota or your parents.



Wow...she looks just like Toyota and Kia did as babies.



Nice job, Aracely. And on your first day back from maternity leave.



Aracely: You sound great, honey!

Atta girl, Kia. Earn those skill points.



Happy birthday, dear Lexus...



Again, she looks exactly like Kia-strange chin and all.



Aracely: That's it...you can do it...



Kia: Hi, Lexi...

Cute nickname.



Oh, hi Tangerine.

Tangerine: I mean, can you believe it? They just went and had two more kids. We were fine when it was just us three girls.

Toyota: Yeah, I think we're just going to be friends.

Smart call, Toyota.



Aracely: Come on, Lexus. Can you say...anything?

Lexus: No!

Keep trying, Aracely.



This might work better.

Toyota: She doesn't seem to have as many issues as Tangerine.



And everybody gets a birthday this week. Happy birthday dear Kia...



Well, it's a better outfit than your brother. Now, which aspiration would you like?



Kia: Knowledge!

Alright, knowledge it is.



Whoo! Great way to end the week, Aracely. Now let's see how the kids did on their scholarships.



Nice job, Toyota.

Toyota: Thanks!



You know, Kia, if you don't feel ready you don't have to go this round. I already let Mandolin Martin stay an extra round...

Kia: Not me. I'm ready to go!

Can't argue with those results. See you both at graduation.



I can see college is going to be pretty eventful with both of you there.



A Message From the Mysterious Voice: Just so everyone knows, little Lexus was born during the live show of the Sims 2 Challenges podcast this past week. Once again, SheWhoSims guessed the gender and everyone in the chat pitched in on the name.
