Hi! Sarah Simmer here and I want to clarify several things about this chapter: First, I take no credit for any custom content in this story! That said, I must now say that because of all the custom content in my game, this next part of the story is going to be weird. It includes an invisible baby/or babies (got to love that glitch), and I will be aging up the baby/or babies fast to make the story progress and so you know...we can actually see what the baby/or babies looks like.
Moving on....
My pregnancy progressed fairly normally. If normal was gaining no weight (no tummy bulge whatsoever), hating the taste of both watermelons & apples, and having an obsession with wearing skin tight clothing, then I was doing just fine. To top it all off, Kale and I had been having intense arguments about whether we should adopt Jazlyn's baby. It was a very messed up situation and I would go from feeling like we could do it to terrified that the baby could turn out like Kanoa. Lyddia seemed to find our discussions especially entertaining and tended to watch them.
Kyle: Hey just got off of work, what's going on?
Lyddia: Shhh! don't interrupt! They are discussing whether they should adopt Jazlyn's baby again.
Kyle: Are you kidding me?!
Kyle: *furious* You shouldn't pressure Holly into adopting that monster's baby! Okay, he tried to kill her, in case you are forgetting! And now she's supposed to just sweep that under the rug and pretend it never happened? Just so what, you can look like the good guy?
Kale: *calmly* I am not pressuring Holly, we are discussing this like mature adults. This baby, is my blood. My niece or nephew. We can't just walk away and let some stranger raise family!
Kyle: You want to bet?-
I interrupted, "Guys, calm down okay? This is just a discussion! Nothing has been decided yet." Lyddia agreed. "As entertaining as this is, you two need to just step back from this for a few minutes." Kale and Kyle commenced the ever mature glare off. Hmm. I spoke, "Look, I will call Jazlyn right now to hear her thoughts on everything. Truce until then." The glare off continued. Lyddia spoke, "I'm going to go watch some sports."
I called Jazlyn, to see how things were going. She relayed that she was close to her due date, and scared of Kanoa. "Holly, I'm not trying to be demanding here, but I am a single sim that is going to be raising two kids in a broken home. Having another one here will just make it harder. You have Kale and you two are still together and can give this baby a mom and dad. Two parents. I am not pressuring either of you, but if you don't take this baby I will find someone who will." She hung up the phone then. I was actually beginning to understand her logic.
I sat down as everyone continued to watch television. "So I think we should adopt her baby." I stated to everyone calmly. Kyle and Kale began to argue back and forth immediately. Lyddia looked amused but stated she approved. Suddenly, things changed. "Guys..." They continued their petty arguing. "Guys...."
"GUYS! Going into labor over here!" I stated gritting my teeth. Kale, Kyle, and Lyddia all jumped up hyper alert. "Should we take her to the hospital?" Lyddia asked. "Too late!" I cringed. (And invisible baby in 5.....4....3.....2...)
I could sense a baby was there...somehow I was holding him. We named him Theodore, after my grandfather.
And I decided to put the invisible baby into the crib because you know...he could have looked tired? After carrying Theodore up two flights of stairs and placing him in his crib I suddenly felt more pain. Twins???
The next one was a girl which I named Kambree just because I really liked the name and had picked it out of my favorite baby book.
"I can't believe we had twins! Can you Kale?" Kale smiled timidly. "Actually I kinda unlocked the fertility treatment reward..." I gaped at him. "You what!!!?" I couldn't yell any more because...
The last and final baby arrived! It was another boy which we named Hayden. Kyle admitted. "That was about the most horrifying thing I have witnessed in my life. " Kale gave him a shut up look. I started to cry. "I wish we could see what they look like." Kale comforted. "Give it a day or two, the creator will sort it out." I looked at Kale. "Creator?" Kale looked around "I have no idea what I just said."
Kale was right. A day or two later, all the babies aged into toddlers! Theodore's hair looks just like Kale's and he had my blue eyes. He was born with the Athletic and Brave traits.
Kambree was the spitting image of Kale, down to hair and eyes both. She has a very quiet, sweet nature about her and was born with the Artistic and Good traits. I think she will do well in life.
Our youngest, Hayden, is the one that looks the most like me out of all the kids. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. He was born with the Athletic and Genius traits.
We were now the parents of triplets! We had gone to just being a married couple to parents of three in just a manner of hours and now had toddlers after just two days! Kyle and Lyddia both were stunned that we had so many children right off the bat. I still hadn't talked to Kale about the fertility treatment, but I was going to....
Kyle interrupted my almost lecture, "I can't believe you named one of you kids Theodore! I mean come on!" He laughed, slapping Kale's arm, "Teddy Graham? That is too funny...ya'll couldn't make this stuff up if you tried!" Kale couldn't help chuckling himself. I put my hand on my hip. "We are not changing his name, thank you very much. Theodore is a wonderful name." Kale smiled. "I agree with you one hundred percent."
I felt so lucky! I had the man of my dreams, three gorgeous toddlers, and we had only been married about a year! Plus, when we adopted Jazlyn's baby that would be another toddler! Four toddlers?! I have a feeling the next few years will be tough. Kale smiled. "I love you so much, thank you for giving me a family, it's the only thing I have every truly wanted."
"Still standing here, bro-in-law." Lyddia chirped her agreement, "Awkward moment." Then giggled. I cringed. I loved my brother and I loved Lyddia like a sister, but it was beginning to feel like we never had anytime to ourselves.
A few days later we left the kiddos with Kyle and Lyddia so we could go have our first date night in about two weeks! Lyddia and Kyle claimed they had everything under control so we left.
Kale got a call before we even got to take a step inside. "It's Jazlyn, she had the baby and wants me to pick him up....oh wow she's in Roaring Heights, this could take awhile." Kale turned to me. "Why don't you go home with the kids and leave this to me. I nodded. Although I trusted Kyle and Lyddia, I would feel better if I was home with them.
I was cooking in the kitchen when Kale returned. "Honey, he's here." (his traits are genius and artistic)
"His name is Matthew." Kale stated with pride. I could tell they had already bonded some on the trip home and I held out my hands to take him. "Can I hold him?"
As I held Matthew I realized it didn't matter where he had come from. He was our baby boy now, I felt this to be true the moment I held him. I looked at Kale incredulous. "Four kids." Kale smiled, that amused half smile of his. "Four toddlers." We were a family!
