Beesly 10: Round 9

 

Last round was a bit rough for the Beesly family. While Phoebe and Arbor's daughter Popcorn grew from a toddler to a child, Phoebe drew a bad chance card at work which left the family in a less than ideal financial situation. A robbery later in the week didn't help.

 

Popcorn: Mom, can I play the pinball machine before school?

Phoebe: Sure, go ahead.

 

This is your new hobby, huh?

Popcorn: Well, it's the only way I can help. We still don't have a lot of money.

 

Um...Phoebe?

Phoebe: Don't look at me! I don't know how it happened. We didn't plan for it.

 

Looks like Popcorn's made a new friend.

Popcorn: And just in time for my party!

Party?

 

Happy birthday, dear Popcorn...

 

Not bad at all. Have you chosen an aspiration yet?

Popcorn: Yes.

Popcorn: I want a lot of money!

Always fun to see a fortune Sim come up. It's one of the rarer ones around here.



And her lifetime want is very do-able as well.

Let's go with Bixby Rabbit...



Huh? It wasn't right? Bixby Rabbit is almost never wrong...



Popcorn, meet William Lancaster.

Popcorn: Um...I know who he is. I asked him to come home with me.

Oh, right.

 



We now interrupt the teenage dating to bring you this new baby...


 

Or babies. Completely natural, I swear...


 

And we've got at least one boy! What's his name?

Phoebe: We're calling him Cheeto.



Phoebe: Meet your first son...

Arbor: He's beautiful.

   

Phoebe: We're not done yet!

I thought not.


 

And we still have an heiress!

Phoebe: We're naming this one Pretzel.

Cute names...as cute as snack food names can be.

 



Cheeto seems to be a pretty good mix of the two parents...




 

While Pretzel seems to have favored her mother.


 

Arbor: Do we really have to keep this thing in our bedroom?

Phoebe: Well, we need the spare room as a nursery now. And once Popcorn moves out we're going to have to split up the twins. They can't share a room when they get older.




Sorry you had to earn the promotion again, Arbor.

Arbor: That's ok. It's always nice to get the bonus again.


 



Looks like Popcorn and William have hit it off...




 

Happy birthday, dear Cheeto...


 

And he's still a pretty good mix in the genetic department.




Happy birthday, dear Pretzel...


 



And she is still a mini-version of her mom.




 

Arbor: Ok, so everybody has bottles, everybody has toys, and everybody's been to the potty. Everything ok now?

Pretzel: Sleepy!

Forgot how much fun toddlers are, didn't you? And I just now noticed that Cheeto has his dad's pointy ears.

 

One good thing about having this machine in the house-the nanny earns back her salary.




Wow, good job with the scholarships Popcorn.

Popcorn: Thanks.

And that means that it's time I headed out of here. Popcorn, I'll see you at graduation; everybody else, I'll see you next round!

 

A Message From the Mysterious Voice: So, I was planning on having Popcorn stay an only child. Risky Woo-Hoo evidently had other plans. Thankfully one twin was a girl, so the house still has an heiress. And yes, the twins really were completely natural. No cheesecake was involved-for once.
