Round 9: Collins

[rena1211]

Previous round: Bonnie moved out, leaving Ellen with Crystal and Katarina alone. The girls both grew up to children. Thanks to ROS Ellen got pregnant by Nicole, the garden club lady.



This round: Power outage for 2 days. As usual I forget it from time to time.



We start the round with Katarina changing for school



Meanwhile Ellen had a day alone at home





This mod is kinda nice



She had a lonely breakfast



Her friend Luke Rogers walked by and she greeted him



Nice!



They talked a bit on the couch and Ellen had to get her comfort up



The girls are back from school



Ellen came out to cheer for Crystal's first A+!



There's the fist pop!



Some red hands before getting to homework





Luke stayed for dinner



Katarina: "There's this new toy we shoukd totally have!"
I don't think that Ellen is still listening



Time to go to sleep





Crystal took care of the fish



Meanwhile Katarina fed Reuben





Time for school



That's a nice financial help



The garden needed some caring






She really needed fun, comfort and sleep - so she spent some time on the sofa



And once again I remembered to do the family pictures



Good job, Katarina



Nice to see that these two are so happy with their lives



Pop #2



Nothing much happened besides of homework and a bit playtime and so it was time for sleep already





Mommy also needed to get her fun up



Katarina is looking forward to her new sibling



I really remembered not to use the phone during the power outage so Ellen had to wait to call Nicole





Nicole: "So you're pregnant?" ++



Nicole moved in



I'm not complaining about that



Stats: Nicole Pfeiffer was a fortune/popularity sim and her LTW is to have 6 pets reach the top career level (not gonna happen)



Nicole's looking forward to the nooboo



Both Crystal and Katarina came home with friends - Douglas Parker and his cousin Gina Baker



Katarina told her friends about her parents' divorce - Doug's and Gina's grandparents also were divorced so maybe they can also talk about it a bit?



With the room full of kids it was a great time to give birth



It's a boy - Jarvis



Crystal: "Woo, I have a brother!"



Jarvis got a colourful nursery





They immediately did this



Nicole took the night shift because Ellen was still pretty tired after the pregnancy





The family funds were enough to buy a business - since Nicole was the garden club lady it seemed fitting for it to be a plants and flower shop



It's called "Flora & Flowers"











Gretchen Miller was the first customer





Tori Sullivan also showed up to check out the new business



Sebastian (by short-sim-wayz) was hired to be the restocker



Townie Ashton was the cashier



Tori: "Sorry, but I can't afford that!"



Peter Baker shouldn't have that trouble - the Bakers have enough money



Errol Sergeant (by DeeDee) also showed up to check out the new business



Someone else who definitely has enough money: Harper Winchester



Seems like the two employees have a thing



The business managed to rank up and Nicole could close up with profit



Back at home Ellen played some chess



At least until Jarvis demanded attention



Crystal: "School is no fun! Somebody help me!"



Well, Katarina couldn't help because she came home with Kaylee Holland and rather spent time with her new friend



Good thing that Ellen was happy to help Crystal raising her fun bar





After homework was done they all had dinner together





Mommy's back home!



Crystal pulled a prank on her twin sister



Katarina liked it!





The girls went outside to play - and yes, that's Nicole sitting on the toilet



Nicole went to "Flora & Flowers" again



Zachariah Baker was here to buy  a little something for the garden



It's always nice to see Estelle Blondeau (by Kaylee)



Tori, what are you doing here again? You couldn't afford anything yesterday.
Seems like she really likes the place





The girls knew how to spend a Saturday





They had friends over for a party



Maybe you should decide if you want to read or hold the baby



Now you're neither reading nor holding the baby...



It was Jarvis' birthday already!







Benjamin Reid and Nick Donovan started holding hands... while Nick's fiancé Luke Rogers was standing right behind them



Either Luke didn't see it or he didn't care (thank God, no drama)



Here's the little cutiepie!





Seems like everyone had fun



Time to celebrate the good party





End of round 9. Taxes were 3.500 §.
Nicole still had an engagement want locked while Ellen doesn't roll any serious wants about Nicole... we'll see next round how that'll go
