Beesly 5: Round 9

 

 Last round, Valentine Beesly was enjoying finally being an only child. She aged up from child to teen, and began searching for a soulmate with the help of her family's karaoke machine. Eventually, she decided on Toronto Caligula, who although he was a romance Sim would compliment her pleasure lifetime want of having 50 dream dates quite nicely. And, somehow during the course of the round the family ended up with a dog...

 

Hi there. 

Toronto: Oh, hi mysterious voice.

Um...dog?

Toronto: Don't you remember? He came from Valentine's aunt's house-they're right across the street.

Oh, right...Winter is one of Izzi's puppies. I forget where these pets end up.

 

 So being that you're a romance Sim I'm guessing that a wedding won't be in order.

Toronto: Nah, not really my thing. 

Just don't try anything funny. I don't think I can take anymore drama this round.

 Toronto: Don't worry, I'll be too busy trying to become a Rock God.

 

And I'm glad to see you two are still as in love as ever.

May: Yes, old age hasn't slowed Pao down at all.

Ok, too much information...

 

So I can't help but notice that you two haven't gotten jobs... 

 Toronto: The music career hasn't come up.

Ok, and Valentine?

Valentine: I haven't been feeling well.

 

Can't argue with you on that one.

 

 Well, that certainly explains it!

   

 And it looks like Toronto is well on his way!

   

 May: Ugh, that dog stinks! Why did I agree to take it from June?

Pao: I'm working on the smell thing.

 At least the dog is staying in the tub.

 

Any day now, huh?

Valentine: Yup.

 

 Ok, seriously, can you two keep your hands off of each other for one minute?

 

How's the dating coming for you two?

Valentine: We're up to 6 dream dates. 

A good start considering you're pregnant.

 

 And it looks like Valentine's finally chosen a profession...even if she can't go just yet.

 

Baby time!

Just one...

 

 And...

Valentine: It's a boy! Meet Patrick!

Ah, like St. Patrick's day. I get it. Appropriate that he's wearing green.

 

Calista: Say, you're one of those romantic people...wanna take it out back?

Toronto: Ew, no!

Great, now Calista's going around thinking every Romance sim's got the hots for her.

 

Patrick's certainly a cute little guy...

 

 Again?

Valentine: I want a girl, and I want her now. The closer together they're born, the less time between when they go to college.

 A good point.

 

Happy birthday, dear Patrick...

 

 And he's ready for the toddler prom!

 

Glad to see the toddler's given you somethinge else to focus on.

May: I am too!

 

And let the toddler teaching begin! 

 Valentine: Come on, Patrick...you can do it...

 

Looks like you taught Patrick to walk just in time.

Valentine: I know.

 

 Wow, congratulations.

Toronto: Told you I wasn't planning anything funny.

Sorry, old habits die hard.

Toronto: Trust me, after what my dad did to my mom, I know what my limits are. I won't do that to Patrick or the new baby.

 

 And it looks like Valentine is changing jobs again...probably to snag the bookcase for the kids to use later. Good thing about a non-career lifetime want is it lets the Sims job-hop.

  

 

And while the parents continue to date each other downstairs, the forgotten members of the family hang out in the upstairs hallway.

Patrick: Nice puppy...

 

 Baby time again!

   

I don't think there are any twin genes to kick in with these two...they must be the only couple in town without them. 

  

 

And it's a...

Valentine: Girl! Meet baby Hannukah!

Cute name.

Well, it's just about time for me to make my exit as everybody celebrates the little festival of lights...

You know, that's not exactly what I meant, Valentine.


Valentine: I know!

 

 And at least Winter is getting some socialization...even if it is with a wolf. Ok, now I really need to be moving on. I'll see everybody next round!

 

 A Message From the Mysterious Voice: After so much Romance-sim inspired drama in the past few houses, I was so relieved that Toronto had a career-related LTW meaning I could pretty much ignore his not-so-appropriate wants. Actually, Toronto didn't seem to have as many of those as, say, Holland and Cinnimon did. And his aspiration did help out with Valentine's 50 dream dates want-there was not a point during the week where one of them didn't have a want to ask someone on a date. Valentine pretty much dated her way through two pregnancies.
