Warner 3: Round 8

Last round, Bryan and Brooke Warner added two more sons to their family as Brooke tried to have a daughter. Bryan finally managed to join the medical career. Eldest sons Pine and Oak grew from toddlers to children.



Oh, that's right. I left right after Ash was born. Let me get a better picture...




Another orange one! We've got 2 of each now!



This better not be what it looks like...

Brooke: We're just going to try one more time...

(sigh) Ok...I want you to have a daughter too.



Yes! Go Ash!



Let's check them all in...




Nice!



Looks like Oak finally caught up to his brother.

Oak: I got an A+!

Great job!



...This really better not be what it looks like...

Brooke: I know....but two babies means two chances.

Ok, it's your choice...



Venice: Isn't this pinball machine they sent us great? It's really helping out at home.

Brooke: You don't have to tell me. I've got two boys playing it around the clock.



Oh, there's Maple. I lost track of him for awhile.

Bryan: Don't feel bad. I lose track of them sometimes too.



Looks like Pine is making friends. Man, Melena's getting popular.



And so is Granite. Too bad both of them are a little bit younger.



Alright, everyone. Get those vocal cords warmed up.



Happy birthday, dear Pine...



...and Oak...



Hmm, not bad. Have you chosen an aspiration?



Pine: I want lots of friends!

This is such a social class this round.



Also not bad, Oak. What about you?



Oak: I want a life of love!

Of course you do...



Ok, now onto the little guys. Happy birthday, dear Maple...



...and Ash...




Well, Ash is a cutie...



And so is Maple, although he needs better pajamas.



Bryan: Come on, Ash...you can do it!

Not wasting any time here...



Well, at least his lifetime want is easy.




And so is Pine's.



Well, baby number 5 is certainly on its way!



I know it's difficult to tell with this picture, but Ash and Bryan were both dancing to the stereo. It was adorable.



What's this? A nanny actually taking a toddler to the potty?



Oh, great. Let's add the gypsy into this.



Gypsy...don't you remember setting Dawn up with Edward?

Gypsy: Hey, I just match them up with who's best for them.

Whatever. Just let the date run its course and try to make friends.



Nice going, Bryan.

Bryan: Thanks!



Baby time!




Make that babies time!



And...

Brooke: It's a boy! Meet Birch!

Another boy?




Clarinet: So anyway, then we threw these huge axes at this circle of wood...

Um, Clarinet? We're in the middle of a birth here. Not that your vacation stories aren't fascinating.



Brooke: I'm not done yet!



Brooke: It's a girl!

Finally! What's her name?

Brooke: We're calling her Willow!



And now begins the endless cycle of "pass the baby"...



And Willow got her daddy's blonde hair...



And Birch has no eyebrows, leading me to believe he'll have black hair like Oak.




Finally got some time with your own career reward, huh?

Brooke: Yup.



Maple: I got an A+!

Not sure how you managed that with all this chaos going on.



Happy birthday, dear Ash...



He really isn't as orange as Maple...and he doesn't have the bright blue eyes. I never noticed that.



Oh, it's a triple birthday. Happy birthday dear Willow...




...and Birch...



Yup, I was right. Black hair.



And...blue hair! Well, that comes from Bryan's family.



Story time?

Bryan: Yup.



Man, all you're doing this week is teaching toddlers to walk.

Bryan: I know.



Ok, let's try this again...



...Zoe is already matched up with Zyrtec, Gypsy.

Gypsy: Hey, she's good for him too.

Why are you encouraging teenagers to break each other's hearts?



Let's see if we can go two for two...



Yup, two already-matched dates. Isabella is matched up with Topaz...at least as a popularity Sim Pine will be happy if they become friends too.



Moved on to Birch now?

Bryan: Yup.



Ok, we're ditching the gypsy. Let's see if any of these Rosada girls work with these guys...Amethyst doesn't seem to be working out so well...



Hmm...this seems to be going ok...



Blue and pink?



Blue and other pink?



Ok, I think Pine is going with Aquamarine...



Yup!




And it looks like Oak was able to hit it off with Brigid! But...isn't she a family Sim?

Oak: Who cares? She's hot!




Trying to prove yourself?

Oak: See? I'm great with kids!



Brigid isn't here, Oak.

Oak: This one can talk. He'll rat me out if I don't help.

Well, their house is certainly going to be fun.



Wow, nice job Pine!



And a decent job by Oak. He does have a good number of skill points, but most number 7 instead of 8.
Ok, I'm going to go take some aspirin now. Pine and Oak, I'll see you at graduation. Everyone else, I'll see you next round.




A Message From the Mysterious Voice: Recipe for instant headache. Take two sim teenagers. Make one a romance sim. Add in two Sim children who have to manage homework and skilling to prepare for their teen years. Throw in a set to twin toddlers, and two parents who insist on moving them from one crib to the other over and over and over again. The teenagers wanted to move them too. The only way those twins got any sleep in their cribs was for me to send the parents out of the room, then lock the nursery door.
