Chapter 300

The snow is finally clearing up!
 
Blaire: "That means I can come out here in my pyjamas again, right?"

Uh... sure?

Blaire: "Dream, come play with the horse ball and entertain me!"

Blaire: "Oof, my back is killing me."

Hooray! Dream and Blaire won first place in the master show jumping competition!

Blaire: "We've certainly redeemed ourselves, like I knew we would."

Mocha: "First place?! That's a big deal!"

Happy birthday, Duncan!

Duncan aged up into a child!

Duncan: "I have the most awesome dino sweater ever."

Aging up means homework.

Like mother, like son. Looks like Harry is taking a liking to horses already.

Like mother like son, part 2.

Duncan seems to be enjoying doing tasks around the ranch.

Bonehilda: "How's your presentation going, sweetie?"

Servo: "Pretty good, I just need some feedback."

Bonehilda: "Sure thing! You could practise presenting in front of me if you'd like."

Servo: "The art of literature is amazing. To have an understanding of it, it's best to know about the history of simlish. Simlish is a language used by all sims since 2000."

Bonehilda: "This is pretty impressive so far."

Looks like Servo has attracted an audience.

Blaire: "Not all sims speak simlish!"
Axane: "Yeah, sims on Sixam don't speak simlish!"

Servo: "Excuse me, I just wanted an opinion about my presentation from Bonehilda, not the peanut gallery."

Blaire: "You said literature is an art, and art is interpretive. Therefore, I'm here to interpret your presentation."

Bonehilda: "Oh, boy. This live audience became a lot bigger than I expected."

Evan could care less about the presentation, as long as he gets his ham and cheese sandwich for lunch.

It looks like you're carrying twins in there... are you?

Blaire: "Well, that's rude."

Blaire: "Speaking of pregnancy, do you think I can convince Dream and Mocha to have a foal soon?"

Not until the Ultimate Horse Championship is over and done with.

Dream: "Don't mind me, just getting my hooves cleaned."

Mocha: "No fair. You always get your hooves cleaned first."

Esme: "Oh no, the welcome wagon is coming to the doll house's front door!"

Evan: "Quick, hide!"

Even dolls are afraid of the welcome wagon.

Esme: "I found this delicious looking coconut drink in the fridge."

Esme: *Gulp*

Axane: "Is it as good as your nectar, babe?"

Esme: "Not even close!"

Blaire: "Agh! I think I'm in labor!"

Blaire: "TODD!!!"
Todd: "I'm right here!"

Blaire: "Wait... I think the sparkles are about to happen!"

*Sparkles!*

It's girl boy twins! 💖💙 Introducing Beatrix Parsons and Cole Parsons!

Todd: "Twins?! Is this because you're a twin?"

Blaire: "Probably... we're in for a wild ride."

The boys are home from school with more homework.

Pinky: "Don't mind me, I'm just guarding the food again."

You're the only one the food needs guarding from.

Pinky: "I'm offended... even though you're right."

Blaire: "Are you two ready to age up?"

Another infant crib had to be set up since there's twins this time.

Cole and Beatrix aged up into infants!

Esme: "Aunty Esme is here to help out."

Esme: "Are you ready for bedtime, Cole?"

Esme: "Goodnight, little one!"

Todd: "Shh..."

Not only do Todd and Blaire have lots of help for the twins, they also both got the calm trait.

They're out like lights.

Servo had nowhere else to put the robotics station, so he put it in the collection room for now. He wants to start building some utility bots to help out around the house. I keep misplacing every gardening bot he builds because I'm a dingus.

The twins are up bright and early today.

Todd: "Extremely early... lucky us..."

Since they're energized, it's a great time to do tummy time.

Hershey wants to participate, too.

It's Love Day time! 💌💘💋

Noooooooooo! Get away from Pumpkin!

How could you reap this sweet little face?

Rest In Peace, Pumpkin Parsons.

Poor Dream had to witness that.

Esme: "I got you a sisterly Love Day gift!"

Blaire: "For me? You shouldn't have!"

Blaire: "A hoof cleaning kit? This is awesome, Esme!"

Esme: "Anything for my favorite sister! Just don't tell Jamie or Jenna I said that."

Holly Alto came over to ask Servo to be BFF's and then took a slice of the designated birthday cake out of the fridge! WHY?!

It's getting very lovey dovey over here on this fine Love Day.

Jamie came to visit!

Blaire: "Hey, Jamie! Are you here to visit your favorite sister?"

Jamie: "I sure am! Just don't tell Jenna or Esme I said that."

What the heck are you doing here again?

Noooooooo! Not Meadow, too!

Rest In Peace, Meadow Parsons.

Servo and Dream won first place in the master show jumping competition!

Servo also built a gardening bot to help out with the garden!

Servo: "No robot will ever be as cool as me, though."

True dat.

It's doing a way better job than the last gardening bot, that's for sure.

Somehow, the twins simultaneously had a diaper blowout.

Blaire: "Gross! Let's get you into a bath."

Esme: "Why am I entering the lottery when we have 9,999,999 simoleons?"

Because you've never won it before. It may sound greedy, but oh well.

The gardening bot has earned an honorary picture on the wall.

Beatrix sat up for the first time!

Blaire: "Quick! We need to get a picture!"

Todd: "Make sure you get one of Cole, too."

Cole sat up for the first time, too!

We know what comes next.

Learning to crawl!

Welp... that was fast.

The twins can now crawl!

Blaire: "You need a nap after all that learning."

Servo is working to build another utility bot. He needs to craft a lot of materials to do so.

Todd is up early again to feed the twins.

Servo: "There you go, all tuned up. Now, get back to gardening so that I don't have to."

Happy birthday, Harry!

Harry aged up into a teen!

Harry: "High school, here I come."

Since the twins sat up for the first time, they can now try some solid food."

Will they like rice porridge?

Beatrix loves it!

Blaire: "Hey! She just flung it everywhere!"

Now, let's see if Cole likes ride porridge.

Blaire: "Here comes the airplane!"

He loves it, too!

Blaire: "Just like his sister! My kids are so adorable."

Harry: "He may be adorable, but I'm adorabler."

'Adorabler' isn't a word.

The twins have learnt so many milestones so fast!

Next, to learn to grab.

Hershey has been good lately and hasn't been jumping in puddles.

Hershey: "You just gave me an idea..."

It's Egg Day time! 🥚🐰🌸

Happy birthday, Evan!

Evan aged up into a child!

Now, go do your homework.

Evan: "Already?"

Will the twins learn to stand today?

Evan: "We don't get homework every single day, right?"

Harry: "Oh, we do. Get ready."

They're so close to learning to stand-

Todd: "Seriously?"

Uh oh! Another diaper blowout.

Esme: "Guys, look!"

Yay, Cole!

Esme: "He learned to stand before his sister because I taught him!"

Bun Bun: "What do you want?"

Duncan: "Is everyone around here really as crazy as they seem?"

Bun Bun: "No. They're even crazier than you could ever imagine."

Servo moved his robot building station upstairs.

Happy birthday, Beatrix!

Happy birthday, Cole!

Beatrix aged up into a toddler!

So did Cole!

Twin hug!

They're so adorable!

Servo is getting fancy and meal prepping some lobster for dinner.

Harry, did you really have to set out placemats?

Harry: "What? I'm trying to be fancy."

Evan: "While wearing rocket ship pyjamas."

Maybe Harry was right. The Parsons should have fancy placemats for this fancy lobster dinner tonight.

Beatrix: "What's this?"

It's cereal, it's almost similar to rice porridge.

Beatrix: "Yummy!"

The Flower Bunny is here for Egg Day!

What a wonderful, hardworking maid Bonehilda is.

Okay, she slightly made up for it by brushing Mocha.

The rays of sunshine are home from school!

Blaire: "Let's get eggcited for Egg Day, guys!"

Esme: *Blows horn so loud it can be heard in Barnacle Bay*

Axane: "There's so many random celebrations here on Earth. I love it!"

Axane: "I even learnt to sing an Egg Day song! It goes like this..." ♫ I LoVe EgG dAy, YeS I dO, I LoVe EgG dAy, HoW 'bOuT YoU? ♫

Blaire: "My ears... my poor, poor ears."

Axane: ♫ BeCaUsE iT's... EeEeEeEeEEEEEGG DAAAAAAY! ♫
Todd: "Encore!"

Flower Bunny: "Is something dying in here?"

Esme: "Are your ears bleeding, too?"
Flower Bunny: "Almost."

Happy birthday, Axane!

The birthday crew is in full effect.

Happy birthday, Esme!

Axane aged up into an adult!

So did Esme!

Axane: "We're mid-lifers, now!"
Esme: "Yeah, aren't we awesome?"

Esme: "Now that I think about it, maybe I should start contemplating life since I'm in my mid stage of life."

Please don't have a mid-life crisis.

Speaking of mid-life crises...

Blaire: "My social bunny posts barely get any likes anymore."

Blaire: "It's because sims think I'm old, isn't it?"

Axane: "These fancy placemats sure do make this lobster feel even fancier."

Harry: "I got judged when I first placed them down."

Can you guess what utility boy Servo is building next?

It's a fixer bot!

Servo: "Now, this bot can fix everything around the house so that I don't have to."

Speaking of bots, Servo needs to help out the gardening bot downstairs.

It needs some upgrades so it can be enhanced to level 4.

Pinky always sleeps by the toddlers. It's adorable!

Y'all look so excited for breakfast.

Todd: "This french toast isn't as fancy as the lobster we had last night!"

Esme: "We demand only fancy dishes from here on out."

Dream on.

It's Saturday again, which means it's time for the Ultimate Horse Championship!

Blaire is up early again getting ready.

Dream and Blaire are down at the equestrian center!

Blaire: "Woah! Calm down, girl... what's wrong?"

Dream: "I'm nervous, okay?!"

Blaire: "Don't be nervous, you've got this. No matter what place you get, I'll be extremely proud of you."

I guess Dream is semi famous from all the competitions she's won. Every time she's outside, sims are snapping pictures of her.

Dream: "I'm a celebrity like Servo!"

Dream and Blaire are off to compete in the Ultimate Horse Championship! Wish them luck!

Hooray! Dream and Blaire won second place in the Ultimate Horse Championship!

To even place in the Ultimate Horse Championship is a huge achievement, I'm so proud of them!

Blaire: "You did a fantastic job today, Dream."

Blaire: "You did it, you placed at the Ultimate Horse Championship!"

Blaire: "You're always number one in my eyes."

Since Dream and Blaire placed at the Ultimate Horse Championship, Blaire completed the 'Championship Rider' aspiration! I'm so proud of her!

Blaire: "Since you've achieved our ultimate goal, maybe it's time to have a foal?"

Hey, that rhymed!

Dream and Mocha would make an adorable foal together!

Dream: "I definitely want a foal!"

Blaire: "Let's just hope Mocha is on board, too."

Ooh, looks like he is!

Dream is expecting! Some new little hooves should be trotting around here very soon.

Blaire: "I'm hungry after all that winning."

Todd: "I'm so proud of my wife."
Duncan: "Everyone already ate breakfast without me?!"

Cole has on some cowboy pyjamas to celebrate Blaire's win! (I have no idea where these came from, these are not apart of any of his outfits.)

Blaire: "I can't believe Dream and I have achieved so much."

The twins love the doll house!

Happy birthday, Duncan!

Duncan aged up into a teen!

Duncan: "I get to go to high school! More importantly, I get to start a hobby I've been waiting to try."

The guitar skill?

Duncan: "You betcha. How do I sound?"

Harry: "My ears!"

Harry: "This music is so awesome!"

You had us in the first half.

Duncan: "This is trickier than I thought it'd be."

Ooh, a broken appliance!

Why am I excited about it? Because we get to see the fixer bot in action!

Do your thang, fixer bot!

Meanwhile, the gardening bot is downstairs in the gardening room. It's been enhanced to level 4, so it should lose battery less rapidly, now.

Esme: "So futuristic."

Duncan has an audience!

Blaire: "Duncan is pretty good at the guitar already."

Beatrix: "Goth dolly agrees!"

Dream has a little pregnant belly!

Dream: "I can't wait to meet my foal."

I never knew Esme was into soccer.

Mocha: "I'm into soccer, too. Can I be on a horse soccer league?"

That doesn't exist... does it?

Like mother, like son. Evan has been playing blic bloc all day.

Evan: "I almost lost!"

Esme: "The laptop broke. Luckily, the fixer bot is here to fix it."

Servo: "Who's a good little future cleaner bot who's gonna take the load off me for once?"

Servo: "You are, yes you are."

Blaire: "Servo is so smart, I don't know how he manages to build bots that actually work. I can barely mold this bit of clay!"

Beatrix: "What's that thing, aunty Esme?"

Esme: "It's the future, sweetie. Soon, robots will be fixing everything for us!"

I found Mocha outside basking in the sun rays. He's living his best life.

Todd: "Guys, I think I'm getting old! Do these threads make me look young?"

Harry: "Servo, help me! My dad is trying to look young, and he just said 'threads'! He's embarrassing me!"

Cole is just peacefully strolling along during all this chaos.

Todd: "So, you're saying this outfit doesn't make me look young?!"

Blaire: "A leather jacket and ripped graphic jeans don't automatically make everyone look young, honey."

Harry: "What if he walks outside like that? I'm doomed!"

Servo: "Big deal. I've been doomed since the day I joined this family."

Cole: "Are we all doomed, then?"

    1. Thank you! It really was, even with a fully trained horse and owner, it's still not guaranteed you'll win.
