Beesly 1: Round 9

Last week, Chandler Beesly moved back home after college with her fiancee Halloween. They were quickly wed, but before the usual addition to the family Halloween made a stop at the local pet store to purchase Samantha, the family's new dog after Sparkle passed away. The family had another human addition too in the form of Chandler's first child, Ben.



Hi, guys!

Chandler: Hi, mysterious voice.

How's everybody doing today?

Chandler: Oh, just fine.



You sure about that?

Chandler: I'm sure it will pass...



Is Samantha adjusting ok?

Michael: She sure is. I'm so happy we got another dog. It seems to have calmed down Sparkle's ghost too.



And it's good to see that Womrat is still around. 8 rounds and counting...I'm pretty sure this thing is immortal.



Obligatory adorable toddler and dog shot...



Chandler: Oh, my...

Looks like number 2 is on the way!



And the Beesly family gives us the first fire of round 9!



Happy birthday, dear Ben...



Ugh, these things come at the worst times....revert to fewer companies.






And now back to the birthday. Ben is a very handsome young man.



How was the first day of school?

Ben: Ok. Dad's helping me with my homework.

Where's your mom?

Ben: She's busy.



I should say so! It's baby time!






And...

Chandler: It's a girl!

Great! What's her name?

Chandler: Janice!

Oh, great. Now I'll have an annoying voice in my head ever time I talk to her.

Chandler: I thought you were an annoying voice...you can have annoying voices of your own?

...Yes.



And of course....

Ben: I got an A+!

On the day the baby is born. Like clockwork.



Chandler: He doesn't seem to be aging at all...

I told you, he's probably going to outlive all of you.

Chandler: That's kind of strange.



Happy birthday, dear Janice...



Very cute, but I think a makeover is in order.



Much better.



Chandler: Come on, girl. Sit up!

You're teaching her tricks?

Chandler: I just had the sudden desire to teach her to sit up.



Oh, look who came by.

Chandler: It's nice to finally meet you...

You haven't met her? She's your sister.

Rachel: Well, I was grown up before Chandler was born.

That's true...



Madison: Goodnight, Ben.

You're pajamas match his bedroom!



Another toddler, another cute toddler and dog picture.

And that just about brings us to the end of the week...what the...



What? Michael can't be dying already! He was a toddler in round 1...



For crying out loud, his stepfather just died this round!



Bye, Michael!



Well, that was an...unexpected ending to this week to say the least. I guess I'll see these guys next round.



A Message From the Mysterious Voice: So Micheal's death was a total "What the hell" moment for me. He had his lifetime want and was in platinum aspiration-I thought the guys I created as toddlers had at least another week. Especially since his mom lasted well into round 8, and his stepdad just died in round 9. Also, I would like to thank the participants at the last Sims 2 Challenges podcast live recording for giving me enough secondary Friends character names to last me for quite awhile with this family.
