2.5 Livin' The Life

Welcome back to Pollination land! We'll start this update with a recap on little Bellatrix. I'd lost my notes at the time of posting so I wasn't able to share her traits, but I have since recovered them. They are as follows -  *ahemahemahem* Bell is a Clumsy Athletic Cancer who enjoys Crepes, Rockabilly music and the color Spice Brown (just like mama).

Also, an update on the spares front. Both Angelina and Starla have had their babies and they've aged up to toddlers so I can show you. First, Antares and Starla had a set of natural (no Fertility) mixed gender twins! The boy they named Sheratan,



And the girl is named Spica.



Orion and Angelina had one girl, whom they named Virgo.



Back home, Six continues with his daily workouts in order to earn those promotions.

MAID - Mmm . . . dat ass . . . .
SIX - . . . is that cleaning servant staring at me again?

I don't think you really wanna know . . .



Meanwhile Grampa Bart helps out with the girls. Reading books with Andromeda.



And snuggling with Bellatrix while Cassi works on Aquila's walking skills.



Unfortunately he's not as forgiving with Aqula's xylophone skills . . .

BART - I'm honest because I love. Musician she ain't. Sounds like two cats trapped in a trash can.
She's TWO, Bart. Cut her some slack, sheesh.



While Bart oversees the girls, Six and Cassi slip off to their room for some 'private time.'



Apparently talk of beach sunsets gets our heiress all hot and bothered . . .



With the babies Cassi hasn't had time to play any ranked chess matches lately, but she still practices in her free time to max out that Logic skill, since that's part of the LTW.

CASSI - A masterful move, Self, but don't count your chickens just yet . . .



Mission Accomplished. Woot!



All too soon it's time for Bellatrix's birthday. Seven makes sure to keep certain traditions alive.

CASSI - Dad, you just blew out my eardrums.
SEVEN - That means I'm doing it right. :D



Introducing toddler Bellatrix! She inherited mama's tri-colored hair and purple eyes. On genetics alone, she's probably the front-runner for heirship now.



And plus, she's super cute. Look at that face.



Don't count the twins out of the cute factor just yet either, however.

AQUILA - I'm a ninja!



ANDROMEDA - You can't resist my cute. CUUUUUUUTE.



Oh no . . . the Golden Jellyfish strikes again!

SIX - . . . dafuq is she teaching my daughter?

The opposite of your grim reaper death spiel I imagine. Also, notice Bart in the background having a blast on the computer, lol.



Even when being cranky, Bellatrix manages to be adorable.

BELLATRIX - Less staring, more feeding, nao plz. >:[



Once she's out of the crib, changed and fed however the happiness returns. On a random note, why do the rugs swallow them up? Makes no sense . . .



A few days later, it was time to age up the twins. Andromeda goes first, as first born.



She became a pretty child, rolling the Can't Stand Art trait. Well, I know who ISN'T going to be my portrait slave this gen. Way to be sneaky, Andromeda.

ANDROMEDA - Like a baws.



Next up was Aquila. Seven continues to be adorable. <3 I love his faces.



She also became a pretty child, rolling the Innapropriate trait. Given that Aquila is the least interesting genetically, I have nominated her to become the portrait slave. Sorry, luv.

AQUILA - *sigh*



BART - That book you wrote was awful, just awful. You expect to make a career out of that garbage?
ANDROMEDA - What book, Grampa?! I just grew up from a toddler!

He's just senile, sweetie. Ignore it. Seriously, he criticised her 'lousy book' five seconds after becoming a child. O_o Somebody's not been taking their meds.



Freshly grown, I built on an extension for the twins to have their own room so they won't be continually woken up by crying babies/toddlers.



And what's this? Morning sickness for Cassiopeia? *nudge nudge, wink wink*



That's a big fat yes. And wow, way to slut it up Cassi. I have no idea why she insists on changing into the skimpiest CC sleepware I have whenever she's pregnant . . . I CAS'd her out of it later. Those Zzz's belong to Six, btw. He sleeps during the day and works at night in his job now.



Andromeda and Aquila attend their first day of school. Looks like they have doubts as to the integrity of the bus driver, too. Channeling uncle Antares, girls? And check out Mad Scientist Seven in the background heading to work. :D

ANDROMEDA - *narrow eyes* He'll probably dump our bodies in a ditch somewhere.
AQUILA - I'm too young and pretty to die!



Just a shot of Six being a cute daddy. He's very attentive to his girls. I really don't see a whole lot of his evil trait manifesting. I think family life has softened him . . . but don't tell him that. He's got a rep to maintain and all.



Andromeda spends her post-school-and-homework time doing random things around the house. Like this racing game on the computer.



While Aquila . . . spends every free moment in front of an easel.

AQUILA - FML.

Sorry kiddo. This was her first completed piece. It's pretty and morbid at the same time. I put it on the wall afterward.



Uh . . . Cassi? I think that's standing just a little too close. O_o Poor Bellatrix is gonna be scarred for life.



Some inheritence LTRs put us over 100,000 in family funds (another point!) so I decided to build some play areas out back, for the adults and kids alike. First we have the adults' side, complete with some workout equipment for Six and a nifty new hot tub.



And on the other side, a playground for the kids. They have a sandbox, a hopscotch mat, a Cow Plant spring rider and the Sci-Fi tree house.

WEDDING ARCH - HAAAAI!! You forgot to delete me after the wedding!
... -_- ..... *deletes*



Meanwhile . . .

CASSI - AAAAAAAAH!
BART - AAAAAAAAH!
SEVEN - What are we yelling about?



Six is woken up from his daytime nappies to take his wife to the hospital. The girls continued with their afternoon, oblivious. Andromeda at the dollhouse.



Aquila . . . at the easel. *surprise face*



Luckily they took the Motive Mobile to the hospital, so Six got his energy bar filled anyway. WIN!



SIX - Why are you just WALKING, Cassiopeia! We need to hurry! *runs off without her*
CASSI - . . . men.



Then Six stood by the doors, waited for her to get there, Cassi went inside and then before he could even think about following her she had the baby. Got that one just in the nick of time, eh?



And this time Cassiopeia emurged  . . . with a BOY! Everyone meet Scorpius Pollination! He's a Taurus who is a Disciplined Loner. He enjoys Cheese Tofu Steak, Classical music and the color Spiceberry, and he will be the final addition to Generation 3.

SIX - Muwahahahaha! Now my plans to extort the government for millions of simoleons is now COMPLETE!
CASSI - . . . wat?

NO idea . . . O_o



That's it for this installment! I hope you enjoyed. Comment if the mood strikes you, and I hope you join us next time for another episode of Pollination : Mission Statement!
