Tom: 7.3 “Bittersweet”

Last time with the Diffys, Wanda died. This made Tom and Gwen want to hasten their marriage plans and they simply had a private wedding at the fishing park. This time…

Tom: “Let’s take a selfie together.”

Gwendolyn: “Awesome. I’ll post it on my Insta.”

The secondary income for this generation is blogger. I’m going to be presenting this as if Gwen was an Instagram model, so I will occasionally add in pictures that she would have posted. I’m terrible at editing photos, but Owl Face of A Clover and a Bee has made an Instagram template for use on her blog and has shared the template on Photobucket. Thank you very much for letting me use it! 😀

It is Spooky Day, so we threw a costume party. Unfortunately, no one showed up, which was pretty annoying.

But the repairman was glad we still had the juice out the next day.

Gwendolyn: “I’ve always wanted to have kids young. What about you?”

Tom: “I haven’t really thought about it, but that’s actually a good idea. My parents had me when they were pretty old, and we were kind of spread apart, too. I think I want my kids to be closer in age.”

Tom: “Do you want to start trying?”

Gwendolyn: “No time like the present.”

Take two for the costume party. Darrin came dressed as a little girl criminal.

Same setup as before.

Ben and Aidan did a kegstand, but Ben is really struggling here.

And he does end up dropping Aidan.

Aidan looks genuinely mad about it. o_o

Gwendolyn: “I found out today that I’m already pregnant.”

Tom: “That’s great! I’m so happy.”

Unfortunately, as the party is ending, the Grim Reaper arrives for Aidan.

Tom: *gasp*

You look like you just got caught with your hand in the cookie jar. I mean, he’s just so cute.

Okay, apparently I just forgot to paint the walls in the kitchen/dining room? Unfortunately this problem will not be fixed for a couple chapters…

Aidan does not go peacefully.

Well, I’m pissed, too. Aidan had his wish to see grandchildren, and now he never will while he’s alive. He was only a few days from fulfilling this wish.

Darrin: “Best costume party this season.”

I’m sure.

First you guys don’t even show up for our costume party, and now this?! These Sims have a sick sense of humor.

First day of winter.

Our front porch decorations.

Gwendolyn: “How are you doing?”

Tom: “Not great, but I am looking forward to the baby.”

Gwendolyn: “Yeah. It’s a bit bittersweet.”

Gwen goes into labor right as I’m trying to get her to complete the Argyle Sinclair opportunity, so this annoys me.

Norma Ruth: “Thanks for drawing the crowd. Now I’m going to make tons of tips!”

Gwen makes it to the hospital, and Tom leaves work to meet her there. A baby girl, Nyota, is born. She is named after Nyota Uhura from Star Trek. Nyota was born with the virtuoso and friendly traits. She loves indie music, vegetarian dim sum, and the color pink.

I think it’s been very obvious, but Gwen will be staying because the marital structure is couple.

I turned Aidan and Wanda’s old room into a nursery for her. And look at her little tuft of red hair! So cute.

That night we invite Kim over to meet her first great-grandchild.

Tom: “How are things going? I heard about your breakup.”

Kim: “Yeah, it’s okay. Ray is a great guy. He needs to find someone he can have a family with.”

Tom: “Maybe, but what about you?”

Kim: “Don’t worry about me.”

Kim: “Anyway,  I’m really happy for you, Tom. I’m glad to see my family continuuing to grow.”

Tom: “Yeah. Thanks for being here, by the way. I wish Mom and Dad could meet her.”

Kim: “Hey! Don’t mention that or you’ll see me cry.”

Tom: “Okay.”

When Snowflake Day comes around, I decide I’d rather go to the festival than throw a party.

They were really getting into making the perfect snowman.

Tom, where’s your evil snowman? This is not what I expected from you.

But this is definitely expected from you.

Gwen has been working on martial arts, which gave her the ability to meditate and Zeneport (which I will never use again, honestly; it was just for her wish).

Well, she still needed to complete the Argyle Sinclair opportunity, so I’m sending her to the bookstore. There is an infestation of the pigtails here.

For some reason, I was a bit amazed that she showed up in her underwear, even though that is what she was wearing at home.

Pigtails no more!

Okay, I know she showed up in her underwear, but that’s really not necessary.

Next time: Nyota’s first birthday!
