Chapter Eleven - Skunk'd!

Welcome back to A (not) Very Vulcan Legacy. Things have been going well in the family, especially now the reins have been handed over to Bryn, and Tommek and Breanna can enjoy being kooky elderly sidekicks rather than the main attraction as it were. Before we return to the Vulcan Enclave, we'll quickly update on Paden.

As you can see Paden has also left the Iata Pi house (In the oh-so-safe hands of Genisis Patch). He also decided that he would age transition into the most interesting clothes he could find. Apparently there is a stage version of 'The Highlander' looking for a recent Drama graduate....

Of course Paden is destined to live the life of a spare, which means being motherloaded into wealth, married to the unacceptable maid and ignored for the rest of the challenge. It could be worse, I could have just left him in the Sim Bin. This way he and his little Claire-bear will never get old or fat or boring.

Of course, as soon as Bryn moves home this happens. No Grimmy don't take my Fluffy, it isn't her time! She still has so much more to give! *sniffsniff* On a side note, I was shopping for a companion for Jaffa when I came across Fluffy in the large dog breeds (I forget the exact name) So despair not gentle readers! If you have Pets you too can have the mammoth beauty of your very own Fluffy!

Naturally I got these two married as quickly as possible, this way I can avoid all the drama of the 'fears' (you know, fear of marriage, fear of babies, fear of diapers....etc etc). Luckily the only one with the 'fears' at the moment is Bryn, and because he is already perma-plat, I don't really care. This is the first offical wedding on the Vulcan lot. In time there will be a proper outdoor venue, but for now, the ocean will have to do.

"We must seal our nuptials with a pillow fight, my love. Dad says it's traditional."

"Your dad is a kook, you know that right Bryn? But any excuse to get you next to manchester you sexy studmuffin!"

Of course there is always time for the practically guarenteed just married pillow fight.

And of course cake, can't forget the cake. Naturally my game bugged out, and the happy pair had not one, but two wedding parties, the first rocked, the second blowed. But they still went on honeymoon, that's what really matters right?

Jax makes a new friend, with Jax (the cat). Popular name n'est pas?

"Oh my, perhaps I shouldn't have ordered 50 plates of Lime-seared Prawns while we were away...."

For those of you that didn't get the idea from the lack of exciting honeymoon pictures, Bryn and Brandi were VERY busy on their honeymoon.

"Mmmhmmm this cheesecake sure tastes good. Nomnomnom. I think I should get Bryn to pick up some more on his way back from work."

Actually Brandi one serving is about all you need. This is another attempt to avoid the fears. Twins means only one pregnancy and only one sim week of changing diapers, most of which can be handled by the equally bladder deficient elders.

Look! It's a Fluffy Ghost! Yay! About all she does is dig ghostly holes, and float about. Nicest ghost ever in my opinion. Hopefully when Tommek dies they can play ghost fetch and stuff. That would be funny.....Not that I really want Tommek to die of course....

"You've been testing bed springs haven't you?"

"Lady, I'm a romance sim, thats all I ever do."

"I'll give you one million dollars if you let me dress your baby up in a rubber outfit and call it 'Mini-Me'"

"Yeah....maybe not."

Pregnancy sure does bring a family together.

*gulp* "Your mother didn't do that when she was pregnant."

"Yeah, pregnancy is really revving her engine if you know what I mean. Neither of us are getting much sleep, if you know what I mean."

"Son, I don't want to know.....Really. Don't want to know....I think I'll just go over there now."

Tommek learns more than he ever wanted to learn over a nice breakfast of Omelette's.

Bryn is just rocketing up that career ladder, this evening he bought home the impressive guitar thingy....I made Breanna play on it, cos it looks wicked cool with her outfit. Of course given a choice, the Vulcans would have no musical instruments what-so-ever.... Every time I can't find one of them I just need to negotiate my way back to the Hammer of Rock and there they are with a little tip jar.

"OooooooooooOOOoooooh! Aye ye cha! And so on and So forth."

I'm so excited, Generation three is about to make an appearance, I already have the names picked out, and I can't wait to see what I get and what they look like! But that might have to wait until next chapter, cos I kinda forgot to take more pictures and Brandi kinda went for a walk during delivery....it was all very messy.

"What an .... interesting outfit Bryn."

"It's not an outfit, its the roadie uniform"

"Oh, thank Bob! Have a nice day at work dear, don't forget to get your promotion."

"I won't Mum. See you tonight."

That smile on Breanna's face was so fake I just had to share it. Of course, Bryn will get promoted and she'll never have to see her son's belly-button ever again.

As promised when Bryn came home I put most of his funds into the resting place of the family Vulcan. Seeing as everyone (excpet Brandi) has high creative skills we were also able to get the second generation portraits out of the way pretty quickly as well.

"Who's a nice puppy? Thats right you are! Now play with my female dog so we can get more puppies with glowy eyes."

One thing that really annoys me? I want wolf puppies, but I have no way of influencing Jaffa to play with Wolfie(Ooops forgot that name) so that Tommek can get the ball rolling. It's only the relationship between the two canines that needs work now, and naturally that means that he wont ever visit again.

"C'mon! You hit like a girl!"

"I am a girl Bryn...."

"I can confirm that you are indeed a girl. Perhaps we should test drive Dad's car?"

"Teehee."

Yeah romance sims, these two can't keep their hands off each other. It's kinda sweet in a purely physical kinda way.

This cannot be good. But in Jax's defense the Skunk was just itching to spray something. It was growling at empty air for a while there, until fatefully Jax and Tommek decided to play fetch. As you can see, Tommek, much like myself has no clue whats going on.

Oh the horror! Poor Jax, we've had the Skunk come by a few times, but we've managed to avoid getting sprayed....until today.

Of course we didn't even have time to wash poor Jax, the foul fumes of the unwholesome beast was a greater shock than his system could bear. He joins Fluffy under the gigantic Bonsai tree, and the old folk cry alot. They know their turn is next.

I promise I'll have pictures of the kiddies next chapter. I've been battling with a weird glitch thingy that means it's next to impossible to maintain any friendships (Spousal relationships decay at 6-12 per night...out of house friends much faster). I will attempt to get it sorted out, just as soon as I learn how to use the interwebs.
