Eagle Valley BaCC Spring 2: Toyonaga

At the end of last season, a lullaby was heard.  This season began by letting me know exactly who heard that lullaby.

Christy took care of beginning Marcus’ toddler training.

Delphinia headed down to Dance Fever.  She decided that she needed something to draw people in, so placed a poker table as well as a small bathroom and was able to up the price to $13.

Her father, wanting her business to be a success, came in and settled down at the poker table.

And he stayed.

And stayed.  While waiting for customers, Delphinia dug for treasures.  She found three maps, but decided to keep them instead of selling them.

Still low on money, she couldn’t afford to add a sunlamp to the building, and was far too stubborn to just go home and come back later.

snapshot_60cf1f98_00dbd340

She thought she could handle the lack of sunlight, dawn was only minutes away.

snapshot_60cf1f98_a0dbd352

Luckily she collapsed outside, and the sun revived her.

After she revived, she actually had some patrons that wanted to actually dance.

Later that night, it was a night for green skinned people.

She also, finally got her gold sales badge and closed Dance Fever down.

snapshot_60cf1f98_a0dc0e50

When she reopened it, she charged $99 an hour.

snapshot_60cf1f98_00dc0ba7

And, paying that amount, she actually had people that came to learn to dance.

snapshot_60cf1f98_a0dbf805

Finally, after many days and nights away, Dance Fever reached level 5 and Delphinia headed home with enough money to completely decorate the house and pay the taxes.  It was decided that for now, the nursery could handle both Marcus and the new baby.

Delphinia also had time to talk to Marcus and become his best friend.

snapshot_60cf1f98_80dbfcd9

Christy had learned how to make toys before ever meeting Delphinia and used that ability for Marcus.

snapshot_60cf1f98_00dc029bsnapshot_60cf1f98_20dc02de

He was very thankful for that ability.

snapshot_60cf1f98_c0dc122b

Delphinia started looking for a job in the Dance career.  She finally found one after three days of looking, although it would not start until spring was over.

snapshot_60cf1f98_00dc1751

Delphinia invited her family over on Sunday (yes, Raebeth, the idea came from you)

snapshot_60cf1f98_a0dc171a

Even though there was still snow on the ground, the plantsims enjoyed the water walker.

snapshot_60cf1f98_80dc19b8

Marcus was so overcome by the many people around that he didn’t manage to get back to his blanket before falling asleep.

snapshot_60cf1f98_e0dc1d34

Delphinia was very surprised when she started throwing up.  She obviously hadn’t been listening very hard the last time she and her wife woohoo’d because she didn’t remember hearing the lullaby, but she hadn’t eaten anything *to* throw up.

snapshot_60cf1f98_c0dc2e15

When Christy went into labor, she thought it was an artistic moment, although Christy probably did not agree.

snapshot_60cf1f98_00dc2e42

The little black haired brown eyed, brown skinned girl was handed over to Delphinia.

snapshot_60cf1f98_a0dc2e51

So her twin brother could be delivered.  Delphinia wanted the girl to be named something to do with flowers, just like the rest of her family.  Christy had recently been researching her family and found that their name came from Japan, and I had just been reading Naruto fanfic.  Therefore, the little girl is Sakura (Cherry Blossom) and the boy is Sasuke (Help Blossom?  That’s what Behind the name says).

snapshot_60cf1f98_20dc2e78

With Christy still reeling from the birth, Delphinia put Sakura down.

snapshot_60cf1f98_60dc3027

So she herself could pop.

snapshot_60cf1f98_20dc35c2

The house, which had seemed so big, was suddenly much smaller, as they had to place the cribs in the dining room and the change table in the living room, just so they’d have enough room.

snapshot_60cf1f98_e0dc3705

Marcus thought he could help by heading outside and playing on his Twirl, Spin and Wobble.

snapshot_60cf1f98_40dc3789

He helped infinitely more by growing up.

snapshot_60cf1f98_e0dc4430

They managed to build and decorate an upstairs, although Marcus’ bed is pretty much the only thing up there at the moment.  He agreed to leave his toys in the nursery so that his brother and sister can use them.

snapshot_60cf1f98_00dc3b58

Marcus headed off to school in the morning.  He hoped to make a new friend at school, but wasn’t too worried about it.  He knew that the twins would be growing up into toddlers, who would be able to play with him after he got home that night.

snapshot_60cf1f98_00dc4006

Exhausted after a long day at school (and having gotten up very early because he was so excited) Marcus took a nap when he got home, and almost missed the twins birthday.  Luckily his moms woke him up so he’d be sure not to miss it.

snapshot_60cf1f98_40dc402e

Sakura popped into childhood just like she was supposed to.

snapshot_60cf1f98_40dc41ab

Sasuke refused because he had  a dirty diaper, and had to be changed before he agreed to age up.

snapshot_60cf1f98_60dc403fsnapshot_60cf1f98_00dc41c3

(I apologize for the awful twin pictures, I have *no* full on faces from them).

snapshot_60cf1f98_00dc42a3

While he was up, Christy took on teaching Marcus to study.

snapshot_60cf1f98_20dc425b

Both parents worked on the toddlers skills.

snapshot_60cf1f98_40dc42c8

Delphinia had just become best friends with Sakura, when she felt a pain.

snapshot_60cf1f98_80dc42d0

Sakura wanted to know what was going on, and Sasuke woke up from the cries as Delphinia went into labor.

snapshot_60cf1f98_20dc42e3

And yet another little girl was born.  This one they named Hana which was Japanese for flower (and is yet another name from Naruto).

That’s the end of this season!  Back to the Hawkings in summer (and I can’t wait, because the baby does not have the same parent as either of the others, so I want to see it!)

Eagle Valley BaCC Winter 2: Toyonaga

As soon as Delphinia Deppiesse moved into this small, empty, unfurnished house just a small distance from her family, she called Christy.  Christy, for some unknown reason, decided she needed to sneak onto the property.

snapshot_60cf1f98_e0cf2657

Perhaps she was hoping her proposal would be a surprise?

snapshot_60cf1f98_a0cf2682

The two decided to get married right then and there.  Among other things, Delphinia was worried about a problem with the marriage license such as her mother had.

snapshot_60cf1f98_80cf1ff1

This would be the other thing.  Their house didn’t even have a toilet yet for Delphinia to throw up in.

snapshot_60cf1f98_e0cf23f6

Delphinia had been trying to save up all of her money to open Dance Fever, a dance school that would, hopefully, help her with her dream of becoming a ballerina.  However, no one would pay more than $3 to go in, and they didn’t stay long enough to give her any stars.  With her low motives because of the new baby, she decided to give it up for now.  She would go back after the baby was born and rethink her idea.

snapshot_60cf1f98_00cf283d

With no business, and no current jobs, the two decided to work on their skills.

snapshot_60cf1f98_e0cf29f6

Delphinia had brought two masterpieces that she had completed at her old house with her, so they were not completely broke, and she kept painting.

snapshot_60cf1f98_c0cf2e33

When they weren’t skilling, Delphinia and Christy kept their spirits up in other ways.

snapshot_60cf1f98_80cf30aa

Delphinia had been trying to clean up their house before the birth of the baby when she suddenly went into labor.  Christy’s comments that adoption would be easier, did not help at the time.

snapshot_60cf1f98_20cf30d4

They named their little boy Marcus, and at the moment, he looked just like his other mother.

snapshot_60cf1f98_40cf3545

Time passed very quickly, and it was soon time for Marcus’ first birthday.  Delphinia made sure to call her family and invite them over for the auspicious occasion.

snapshot_60cf1f98_e0cf35a3

The two youngest girls went home immediately, saying it was too late for them to be out, but the rest stayed as Delphinia brought Marcus to the cake.

snapshot_60cf1f98_c0cf35df

He’s interesting looking.  I’m not sure about the hair, but I want to see how it (and the nose) looks as he transitions.

snapshot_60cf1f98_a0cf366e

Iris took some time to play with her new nephew.

snapshot_60cf1f98_20cf36c4

Then Delphinia took over to teach him to walk while…

snapshot_60cf1f98_00cf3715

The rest of the family was engaged in a cutthroat game of kicky bag.

snapshot_60cf1f98_20cf3739

Talin, especially, spent most of the time booing and yelling at the participants.

snapshot_60cf1f98_a0cf378a

Soon, it was time for them all to go home.

snapshot_60cf1f98_40cf346a

And with Marcus asleep, there was really only one thing to do.  (Yes, a lullaby was heard, no I have no idea whose)

Nothing really happened this season, I know.  I have got to figure out what I’m doing with Dance Fever.  Any suggestions?

And I’m caught up again!  Yay!

Next: A new year, starting with Hawking
