Generation 4, Chapter 1

Vacha Family


A cute family picture, although I'm not entirely certain why Chervil is the one holding Dragons, instead of Chamomile. Oh well!


It's already time for our young vampire, um, boy to become a toddler. This will give us a clue if Chamy gets to give in to her "romance" ways or if she has to keep popping those kids out for me. ;-)


Dragons Vacha, Aries sign (7/9/5/4/3 ). And sadly, Chamy, hon, he's got your grandfather's lips. So you get to keep birthing 'em, sweetie!
"$*%^@#*!"
Such language! You're a mother now, Chamomile, and you should behave like one!
"I'll show you behavior..."
Um, right, let's move on, shall we?


The obligatory shots of young Dragons learning his skills.


Ah, clothing change for Chamomile! She didn't wear this outfit long. Although I love it, it wasn't quite slutty enough for her, given her rebellious nature at this time in her life.
"Jill, look at our sweet grandson, playing with his toy like that."
"Oh, he's smart enough to be an astronaut when he grows up, Burdock!"
"Baseball! Want baseball!"


As angry as she is with me, Chamy really is an incredible mother. Never afraid of dirty diapers and always having at least one want spun up to teach or play with Dragons.


"If I'm going to have to keep giving birth until you get a genetically pleasing brat, I'm going to go upstairs and play with dad's facial reconstruction machine!"
Okay. But you know that's only a skin-deep change, right? It won't actually change the genetics you'll be passing on to your kids.
"Quiet! It will so make a difference!"


Chamomile looks exceptionally pleased with her new look. I can't say I blame her one bit. She looks quite striking now. :-) Oh and yes, here's Chamy's next outfit. She keeps this one for a while (actually, she's still wearing it in current game-play).


And here's our heiress showing off her new look. I must admit, I wish I looked like that!


Poor Dragons. He looks so sad. Maybe he just got the news he's not going to be the 5th Generation Heir because of his lips. (I really want those huge things OUT of my genetics, if I can swing it at all!)


Chamy is so thrilled that Dragons' first word is "mommy". I'm glad she got to teach him all of his skills like that.


She's so happy, in fact, she runs upstairs and maximizes her Charisma skill! Heh, okay, I doubt it's the same day, but let's just pretend.
"Let's just pretend I'm actually going to do what you want and get knocked up again then too, okay?"
Quiet, chika, or I'll keep you permanently pregnant!
"..."


Jill finished painting Chamomile's Heiress portrait. Since she won't be getting married and her brother moved back to the Legacy lot with her, I'll have a portrait painted of Chervil to hang alongside Chamy's.


Our Portrait Wall as it stands right now. I'm so glad I started doing still life pictures, instead of actual portraits, so I can catch people in poses unique to each one. :-D


Time for a bit more research for your next Borage novel, Jill?
"No, time for a bit of smooching and fooling around with my husband."
*cough* Oh, um, okay, let's just leave you two at it then, shall we?
"Yes, please."
Yup, despite a rather shaky start, when our Diva didn't want to give Burdock the time of day, these two have continuously done these very sweet autonomous actions. I must say, I do good work, pairing my sims up!


Ah, now it's Skylar's turn to produce an heir for me. Poor Chervil, he doesn't look too thrilled, watching Chamomile being turned into a baby-making machine for me.


So he goes upstairs and works out his angst on the poor mechanical dummy. I don't know about you, but I choose to believe he's doing something OTHER than giving that thing a gynecological exam. Especially given how far he's got his arm shoved in there! *shiver*


"Mom, can't you do something about Aeronwy? She's making me get pregnant AGAIN!"
"So use protection, dear."
"I tried, but I suspect she tampered with it. I don't know why, just this sinking feeling I have in the pit of my stomach."
"That's probably just your brother's eggs. You know how he likes to spice them so they're almost inedible."
"No, I'm pretty sure it's Aer's fault."


However, time moves on and it's time for Dragons to turn into a young boy.


"Watch out for the candles, sweetie! They'll hurt your little hand!"


So, obviously, I forgot to take a transition picture of Dragons. And, um, this was the best of the ones I do have of him as a kid. At least he learned like a little wiz, skilling up like mad! So, do you all picture Burdock as saying "Viola!" or "Egads!" here? *giggle*


As you can see, Burdock took over teaching his grandson once he got out of his toddler years. Dragons is a sweet kid, always wanting to do his homework or learn a skill.


Gah! More smoochies??
"You were just congratulating yourself on how well you did pairing us up. Now you're complaining?"
I'm not complaining. But I leave you two alone for two minutes and you're macking on each other!
"And the problem is?"
No problem, but sheesh, try fooling around in the bedroom instead of the bathroom, 'kay?
"Why? It's our master bathroom. The kids don't come in here at all."
Yeah, yeah, whatever.


Burdock may be an old retired fuddy-duddy, but he sure is a limber fuddy-duddy! Hmm, maybe that's why Jill is still so enamoured with him...


Okay, now you're just showing off, Burdock.


"MOOOOOOMMMM!!!! I TOLD YOU AERONWY TAMPERED WITH MY PROTECTION!"
*giggles loudly* Looks like Skylar was successful, eh?
"Don't think I'm not going to find a way to make you pay for this, Aeronwy. Just you wait!"
*pats Chamomile on the head and grins* Do you forget which one of us is the Controller, sweetie?
"Like we haven't figured out ways around you before?"
Hmm, good point... *goes off to Sim-proof her home*


"You've gotta admit, sis, you really are quite beautiful when you're pregnant."
"Don't you start in too, buster! You're just going to give her ideas about keeping me pregnant!"
*grins again*


Chervil, you were just saying how pretty she looks, why do you look so scared?
"Because childbirth can be dangerous! I can't lose my sister!"
Well, you can't have her pregnant and NOT have childbirth. One sort of follows the other, you know?
"Shush up and go get the doctor already!"
There are no doctors in Strangeville.
"What?!? Why is she giving birth here then!"
Because Sim-birth is easy. You've seen her give birth once already, now shush and watch.
"Go find a doctor already!"
Fine, fine. Sorry readers, Chervil is kicking us out to go find a "doctor." Guess we'll have to see if Chamy gives birth to the Heir next chapter.
