Chapter 14 - Gen 13 - Zac

"You was listening to me Zac weren't you"
"Yes I was listening, go away I am not talking to you!"


"Fine - sulk, but put Cherry down those twins are both screaming the house down and giving everyone a headache - including me!!"
"Twins are hard work!!"
"Oh so are talking to me now you are looking for sympathy, and you want another baby already, I am doing you a favour right now!!"


"Poor Devon has his birthday alone"
"I was at work - I can not be in two places at once you know!!"
"I know, but the rest of the household were home."
"So what trait did you give him"
"Party Animal"


"Devon is going to look just like me isnt he."
"It looks like it!!"


"So how is that final promotion looking - I see you are doing some research, which I might add you don't do very often!!"
"The promotion I am not getting any time soon unless I pull my socks ups, its been hard since the twins arrived."
"Don't use the twins as an excuse - your logic and research are appalling and were way before the twins arrived!!"
"I keep forgetting about my research books and I am not going to get the chance tomorrow night."
"Why what's happening tomorrow night?"
"Three birthdays, the twins and Marley"


"So the birthdays come and where were you - napping!!"
"You should have woken me!!"
"It was fine, your Dad helped Cherry with the twins."


Crystal has Cherry's hair and your eyes


"Chantilly has your hair and your Dads eye colour"


"Marley had both of his parents watching and it really was no surprise he turned out to look exactly like your Dad"


"They so made me laugh, Melodie crying, your Dad laughing and poor Wesley just stood there looking bewildeered"


"Maybe I should go and speak to Marley he really does not look happy!"
"He has just had a bust up with your Dad who was being inappropriate as usual."
"What has he been saying now?"
"You know the usual what you got - Marley and Devon are gay apparantly, especially Devon cause boys don't play with dolls."
"Oh not that again - what is his problem!!
"You still haven't asked him have you?"
"No, he stopped saying it to me when Cherry moved in and I just forgot about it."


"So I noticed you just took a good look at your girls."
"Was it that obvious."
"What on earth were you looking for?"
"Cherry - I don't see much of Cherry in any of our kids, just Crystals hair and maybe Chantilly looks a bit like Cherry, but I don't know, it upsets her you know"
"Oh no I can see exactly where this is going - no more babies!!"


"What on earth is Marley doing?"
"He asked me for a sleeping bag, he loves the outdoors and wanted to camp out."
"Don't you need a tent to camp out."
"Something else he wants me to get him."






"Those two are pretty inseparable aren't they"
"I have been watching them they do tend to stay close to each other and they get quite grouchy if you part them"


"Both of you want to teach the girls to talk - that's good - hang on - what on earth are you wearing?"
"I got that promotion, I am not a World Renowned Surgeon"
"You kept that quiet seeing as you have achieved your lifetime wish!!"
"It is not a good day, its Cherry's birthday today and she is far from happy about it"


"Cherry went to bed early, I am sure she thought if she went to bed she could avoid it, but obviously she couldn't, it woke her up."



"Now she is in a right state, I really don't know what is the matter with her, all of a sudden she thinks she is ugly and fat and it doesn't matter what I say to her, she says I am lying to keep her sweet!!"
"Mid Life Crisis"
"Mid Life what??"
"It's called a Mid Life Crisis, most people go through it at some point of their mature adult life, but it should not last too long"
"Well I hope not because she is really not happy with herself at the moment."


"You know a baby might help cheer her up"
"No chance!!!!  You know the rules and I am not making an exception just because Cherry is having a midlife crisis and anyway now that you have achieved your lifetime wish it won't be long before I move onto Devon."
"How soon will that be?"
"I think I will wait till his late teens or when he becomes a young adult, but probably after I have made sure you and Cherry get through your mid life crises without causing too much damage."
"Who says I will have a mid life crisis and what damage?"
"Don't worry you will definitely have one and mid life crisis can make people unhappy with their lives, and want to make changes they wouldn't have dreamed they wanted, I am just going to hang around to make sure neither of you do anything stupid."


"Did you know you have regained your step mother?"
"They haven't!!"
"They have - your Dad and Melodie have got remarried this afternoon."


"I see you have a little helper, Devon helping out with the twins"
"Yeah he is always fussing round the twins and I don't know where Cherry has got to."
"I sent her off to the spa, while you was at work I got sick of her moping and she wanted a massage, so hopefully she might come back in a better mood!!"


"Devon is helping keep Chantilly amused while I make a start on teaching Crystal how to walk.  They tend to get a little grouch when they are parted, so it helps that Devon wants to play with Chantilly."


"Do you know how stupid you look right now?"
"No why?"
"Pillow fighting with Buddy at your age, why do you think Melodie just walked past and stood there staring at you for a while, she thinks you were pilliow fighting with yourself - she thinks you are nutz!!"





"I forget that nobody else can see him!!"
"Well maybe you ought to think about what you do with Buddy!!"
"I would rather be rid of him but as that is not happening I have to put up with him and spend time with him occasionally to stop him from getting ratty and jealous."
"Your Dad has not stumble upon the potion you want yet has he."
"No I think the novelty has warn off, he hardly touches the chemistry table these days."


"So is her mood any better?"
"Not really, you know she pointed something out to me that I had not noticed, Chantilly, she is really slow at picking things up.  Crystal has already learnt to talk and can nearly talk on her own, but Cherry is still battling with Chantilly trying to get her to learn to speak and she doesn't seem to be getting anywhere."


"You don't think there is anything wrong with her do you?"
"Some toddlers do learn things at different rates, I am sure she will be fine!!"




----------------
----------------

I am really glad I can ignore Cherrys midlife crisis wishes.  I dreaded playing Zac through his mid life crisis and we will have to learn to do some serious wish dodging because as far as I can see every sim going through a midlife crisis rolls wishes to divorce their partner and flirt with other sims. :(

Chapter 13 - Gen 13 - Zac

"I was right - she is pregnant!!"
"Yeah I know"
"What are you doing in your Dad and Melodies room anyway?"
"Looking for Devon, I lost him, but I see my Dad has him."


"Its a girl."
"You want a girl this time don't you"
"Yes,  - OH DEAR ........."
"What?"
"Nothing - it doesnt matter!!"


"You can't say Oh Dear like that and then clam up."
"Its nothing bad, just wait, you will see - all I am saying is Cherry should have a very achy back this pregnancy and if you can not work it out from that, you will just have to wait and see!!!"
"You frustrate me sometimes, and don't grin at me like that!!"






"What just happened?"
"Melodie just got back from work, your Dad was out front cleaning away the old newspapers and Melodie just marched up to him and broke up with him."
"Oh dear!!"





"I can see that you two are talking about where Melodie and Marley will be living in the future, Zac but there is something I really need to tell you."
"Can't it wait."
"No it can't, Melodie she has just rolled a wish that I am really not happy about, you need to be careful."
"Careful of what?"
"Melodie, she wants to kiss you."
"DONT BE STUPID!!"
"Oh yes she does Zac, why would I make something like that up!"
"I don't  believe you not Melodie, she doesn't like me that way."
"Well I think she may have changed her mind!!"


"Are you trying to shut your head off for a while?"
"Go away - you've got it wrong about Melodie , I just need a nap, I am exhausted unless you hadn't noticed"



"WHAT THE ....."
"I have never seen you jump out of bed so fast."
"What is Melodie doing there and where is Cherry?"
"Cherry is in your old room and Melody climbed into your bed while you was napping."


"How did she get into bed with me?"
"While you was napping she got into your bed, when you woke from your nap you just got under the bed clothes, so technically you got into bed with her."


"Quite fascinating it was watching you two sleeping together, you were even having the same dreams as each other, I always said you two would of made a good couple."
"SHUT UP - just shut up!!"


"OMG we didn't ........."
"No don't worry you didn't cuddle each other but you did get very close"
"OMG!!"
"Now can you believe me about the kiss thing??!!"
"Shut up, and where is Buddy?"
"He slept, where you should have been, in the same room as Cherry."


"Devon is screaming downstairs don't you think you ought to go and see to him, while you lot were playing musical beds last night the children got kind of neglected."
"What do you mean, neglected?"
"Well Marley was up all night watching your Mom's ghost playing the guitar and is now too exhausted to go to school.  Nobody bothered to put Devon to bed he has been screaming half the night and napping on the floor."


"Your Dad is really upset that Meldie has divorced him."
"I know, she doesn't seem bothered by it all."
"So is she moving out?"
"No, they are fighting over Marley and for the moment she is staying here till they can work out what to do and who is getting custody of Marley."


"He is really pleased that he is getting another grandchild - "cough" - and he showed Cherry all the photo's he has of all of his grandchildren like she has never seen them before."
"Your trying to tell me something aren't you, I got that "cough", but what does it mean?"
"If you are TWO thick to work it out then you will get it when the time comes."
"Stop talking in riddles."



"Zac what on earth are you doing walking out of work with a baby, that's not normal."
"Stop laughing at me and answer my question."
"So what has kept you so occupied that you did not even notice Cherry go into labour and take herself off to the hospital??"
"OH!!!"
"Yes, OH!!!  I was at work and they paged me because Cherry came into the maternity ward, this is Crystal by the way."


"Hang on - but Cherry is holding a baby too."
"Pretty slow to catch on aren't you!!"
"Twins!!"
"Finally - Cherry has got Chantilly"
"Twins - oh I get it now - you knew all along it was twins didn't you!!"
"Yes. and I think I dropped enough hints for you to work it out"


"Crystal came first, she is Virtuoso and Artistic, then Chantilly she is Good and Artistic"
"Did Cherry know it was twins?"
"No."


"Buddy is not overjoyed again I see."
"No he is far from happy, two more babies to get jealous over!!"





"I really wish he would make himself useful sometimes, he could quite easily pick that baby up and stop it from crying but he just winges and adds to the noise."
"Its probably a good thing Buddy does not help our with the babies, to everyone else they would just see a floating baby - don't forget there is only us two who can see Buddy."


"Dad has just had the shock of his life walking in here to see two babies!!"
"I bet - ooooohhhh in all the excitement over the twins I forgot to tell you, what distracted me last night for me not to notice Cherry in labour - have a guess"
"Just tell me - I am too tired to play guessing games."


"Its not just the twins that have put that smile on your Dads face."
"Just tell me."
"Your Dad amd Melodie - they made up!!"
"They what?"
"They are not fighting any more, in fact quite the opposite, they exhausted me just watching them last night, I am not sure how they made up but all I could see was lots of kissing and jumping in and out of bed and there was not a lot of talking going on but they are definitely not fighting any more."
"So I am off the hook with Melodie then!!"
"Well not quite, she still wants to kiss you, so you still need to be careful."


"Your Dad has updated his grandchildren file and just has to show you the pictures."
"Stop laughing its not funny, I feel like screaming the amount of times I have to listen to him rattling on about his grandchildren, half of which are my children and I already know all about them."
"Humour him, it keeps him happy!!"


"You two can just stop right there - I see what you both wished for at virtually the same time!!"
"What??!!"
"You know the rules - three babies - no more!!"
"But ...."
"I don't care and just because you had twins that counts has two, not one, you have three kids and that's your limit, remember!!!"
"Dad has four"
"He only had three while I was with him, the fourth one came afterwards, which you can do, but while I am with you, its only three, when I have moved onto Devon and it is his head I am pecking then you can do what you like."


"That's not fair, so what do I tell Cherry?"
"Whatever you like but until I move onto Devon - there are no more babies right!!!!!"

Chapter 14
------------------

I was not impressed when after Melodie and Wesleys marriage break up she rolled the wish to kiss Zac for the first time.  I made Melodie for him when he was a child hoping that they would end up together but no they did not want that - now Melodie does :(  I have had to watch them like hawks to make sure nothing goes on but beside her getting into bed with him she has not done anything.  I felt a bit happier when suddenly Melodie and Wesley made up on their own and all her wishes were related to Wesley again - but she still has the wish to kiss Zac :/ I cancelled it off once but she re-rolled it.
