Baby 30- In mourning.

We held a small funeral for the baby. It was a girl, and her name was Hope. I named her just after she was born, and I would use the name again, on a very special baby.  All of us wore black, and I even helped the babies into special black blanket. I buried my face in Cosette's hair and breathed in the cherry scent so I wouldn't burst into tears. As we put her little coffin into the grave snow started to fall. Being a strict Christian and bringing all my children up that way gave me a sense that my darling was with God and this was her way of saying she was OK. 

I looked around at the snow and realised that I had to help the toddlers age up today, otherwise it would be a house full of little ones. The only problem with that was that I'd have to look after all of them, and I just couldn't do it. But just as I was about to let them blow out the candles I got a call from Ryn and James. The island was finished! That meant we could move in and we should get packing right away. So I packed everything up and said goodbye to all my memories in Twinbrook. 
The new town was nicknamed Everard Isle. (AN: Find the world, Cherwood on the exchange. Just search for it.)
And as soon as all the Everard's are moved in the public can move there, but not too many. We had staff for nightclubs and service sims, but that was all so far. The girls settled right into their new homes, by celebrating their birthdays! First was Odette, who has pink hair nowadays because she spilled the bottle over her when she was playing in the bathroom.

Then Cosette and Colette. They were both rather girly. But now it's probably time for a tour of the house!

On the first floor I have the children's playground, complete with overly intrusive babysitter on swings.
We also have an indoor pool and a sun room where we challenge mum's relax.
Our first floor is mostly gym-y stuff for workouts and stuff like that. Except for the bar, adults only!

The second floor is our family floor, where we have a party room and our living,dining and kitchen.

Our next  floor is all skills equipment. We have easels and 
sketch tables and chessboards, everything we could want, even musical instruments.
Then on the next floor we have our bedrooms, and above those some more skills stuff.

The triplets started at school the next day, and made friends with all their classmates really quickly. We lived a little far away for any of them to come and visit for the time being, but I expect that will change soon enough, when more people move in, they'll have to move closer. 

I was proud of them, because as I walked past they had started doing their homework all by themselves. Cosette was struggling with her art homework. She had to do a self portrait and keep it as realistic as possible. She wasn't very talented with a pencil so I told her to try painting instead. 

All night she painted and was so pleased when she came back home with an A and a £1 the next day for good work. So when I checked her sister's reports as well and found they also had A's then I figured it was birthday time again. Cosette, Colette and Odette will be teens and Skylar, Darby and Jude will be toddlers.

Jude as a toddler. He has Bey's hair and eye colour, and my looks otherwise. 

Then went Darby. She had my eyes and really dark hair, I have no idea where from! I think it looks just like Elvira Slayers. She prefers to be alone rather than with her family, but barely lets go of me. She's also a vampire like her father, Bey and brother Skylar.
Last of them was Skylar. He has my hair and eyes, he also has traits quite similar to mine at that age, he's a loner as well and a virtuoso. He was paying the xylophone and quickly maxed his skill level on it.
My friend and another challenge mum, Ava Alden offered to take some photos of the teens for their aging up shots, and I think they turned out pretty well. This is Colette. She was a vampire, and I have no idea why. But I think she pulls it off perfectly, her skin looks lovely against her pale purple eyes and bright blue hair. She is sure to have all the boys after her. 

This is Odette as a teen. She decided to keep her pink hair and ties it up in braids unlike her sister who lets it hang loose. She gets bored very easily though, and has the evil trait so I make sure that she only babysits when she has one of her sisters with her.
And finally was Cosette. She had fallen in love with painting and spent a lot of time at the easel. Her hair was cut very short, apparently she wants to be a mum one day too and doesn't want kids pulling it. 
I got a call from an unidentified number and answered it, kinda worried as I don't know who would be calling me. 
"Hello" said a voice. "ummmm. Hello voice." I replied. 
"Ah, you do't know who I am do you. My name is Sunny Colore. " Said the voice. 
"Nice to meet you, Sunny Colore. How can I help you?" 
"Actually, it is more a case of how I can help YOU. I was wondering, i-if you still need a father for your next child. Could I umm, help?" "Sure Sunny. I'll meet you here at, say, 8:30 tonight? You know where I live, right!"
"Of course I do. I designed the place!" He laughed. I didn't believe him, but from the way he said it, I guess I had no choice. 
At 8:30 he arrived and we went to the bar and had some drinks  made by Cosette. I might have had a few too many though, in fact I can't quite remember how may I had? 12, I think. It was all a bit of a blur, though I'm sure Cosette will have some tales to tell her new boyfriend. In fact all three of the girls will. They all have partners's now. Cosette is madly in love with one of her classmates, a girls called Olga. Colette is dating someone called Tim Jacobson. And Odette has struck up a friendship with Sunny Colore's son.

And I have a BG, Baby Growing that is. Me and Sunny decided to try for a baby in the elevator.  I have to say though, he was very nervous about all this. Apparently he wants to come see the baby, and have it stay with him every so often. 
Anyway, after getting my baby bump I went to visit the doctor at the hospital, who was, incidentally, Sunny Colore's wife/sister, I wasn't sure which, Lilac Colore. Apparently I'm having a little baby girl. I figure her name could be, Solange, Angel Of The Sun.
The first thing I did when I got home was teach Skylar how to talk. It was the middle of the night so my teens were reading with the other 2 and taking advantage of the Vampire skills gaining. In 3 hours Cosette got her mixology skill up to level 5. And Odette was level 6 in painting, with Colette in the lead at level 7 piano.
Next I did some household chores.
Laundry, Cooking the next day's breakfast, gardening. 

Of course my boring daily life was incredibly shook up when I had my first labour in a completely new town. I raced to the hospital, not worried at all. I was very excited. So was the baby. No sooner had I left the hopsital than I came out with a beautiful baby girls. With the traits Friendly and Insane.

Baby 27,28,29

Soon enough it was time for the babies to become toddlers and the teens young adults. I was shocked when I came home to see this:

just before the party. He wouldn't tell me who the girl was, or why she was NAKED, but I checked the CCTV. The camera's only turned on while I was out, as a safety precaution. And I could not believe what I saw... but that wasn't the first time, there was 2 different pieces of footage, one of them with another girl. And I was sure I heard a lullaby, which meant his girlfriend was pregnant. I put the thought out of my mind, but gave Brayan a look that I knew would tell him we would talk later about this. It would have been mean to kick the girlfriend out onto the street so they could stay teens for a while, but the babie are going to be big girls today!

First up was Odette, she has her Dad's hair, but his wig, if that makes sense, my eyelashes and eyes, his nose and mouth. She is the perfect mix of the 2 of us.And below is her as a toddler.   

Then came Cosette, she was a perfect duplicate of Shen. None of me is in her, not even my eyes which most of my children seem to get.  And finally was Colette. If her sister was her Dad then she was definitely me. 

                                                                                        

I was watching Brayan and the un-named during the celebration, he seemed more interested in sucking her face off than anything else, so I decide they would have to move out, I don't care how pregnant she is. So Brayan and Einar left teen-hood. They moved out straight after and I didn't get the chance to take a photo of either of them.
But now the house was almost empty, so I needed some babies, the next father was a man I met on-line, and his name was Bey Blade. He kept his hair in a Mohawk, but even I could see the cool colours, then I saw his eyes were a really cool orange colour, and knew I needed some of his genes. So we woohooed, and I was pregnant.
Not long after, well 3 days after, I gave birth to 4 babies at the hospital. There had been a problem, and one of my babies hadn't survived...

More baby 24,25 AND 26

Today I came home from China. I was buzzing with excitement and pleased to be pregnant. For the whole flight I was feeling nauseous though, so when I got home I had to go puke. Whenever I got morning sickness My hair got in the way so I decided to cut it down. It was taking too long on a morning anyway. After I was sick there was a little worry when the toilet half broke, so I upgraded it to self-cleaning. After that I got a bit hungry so I went to have dinner with the boys. they were all a bit jet-lagged so decided to have a nap, I went to check on her boys and could tell that Einar was in pain.

His scars ached sometimes and he would wake up screaming. It was since he returned to our old house, and the beds there. He wasn't sleeping right and I had a plan to help him. I was building a new home, far from the main road. After that I sat and drew for a while, until I was interrupted by the arrival of a baby bump! I called the doctor and I was having TWINS, not only that but twin GIRLS! I decided to call them Collette and Cossette, just in case it was triplets I also decided on Odette. I recieved an invitation to Selena Moore's party, so I decided to attend. 
When I got back the twins had to age up. I had a small birthday party, just us and then we went to go and have fun on our own. We would be spending lots of time as a family when the baby got here. 

I was upgrading the washer when the contractions started. They were coming thick and fast, so I knew this would be a long labour. I was worried after Einar's birth so I went to hospital so the professionals could look after me. After a long 8 hour labour I can now introduce the three newsest triplets...
Odette- 7lb 4oz- 20inches
Cosette- 6lb 8oz- 17inches
Colette- 8lb 0oz- 20 inches

Baby 24

Today the triplets were going to become young adults and I was going to get pregnant again. I worked long into the night and finally got everything set up. I got a call from Felicity, she was at her long-term boyfriends house and they wanted to age up together so I invited him to the party.
"Sure, you can come." I told him later when I met him he shook my hand like a true gentleman, mainly because he was. He was....

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!!!
"Felicity" he said "You are my life, love and everything. Without you I am nothing. You can help me make the music of the night and to love me, is all I ask of you. Will you stay with me forever?" and Felicity said, "Of course Erik. I love you." And she asked me to make a video of their life together, with photo's I'd taken. There was too much love to just fit into 1 image. I gave a copy to Phantom as well, so they can always watch it again.

So after their small private marriage Felicity and Phantom moved out. They decided to move into his house, which was just down the road from me.
Then I said goodbye to Grace and Fallyn. I was surprised at how much Grace looked like me, but then I was surprised that any of my kids looked so much like me.

Fallyn married the President of the United States. They met when she was doing some security work for him, and now she's married to him AND his head of security. because of her job, I'm not allowed to post pictures of her, but I'm, sure you'll see her on TV sooner or later. Grace wants to be a Superstar athlete so she moved out nearer to the sports stadium and the gym. Fallyn left to go to some international affair in Afghanistan. So I had to invite the next father over. His name was The Ridlu. He had green skin and blue and white hair. When I rang I got a message saying he was out of town for the month, could I call back. So I got on with some chores. While I threw away newspapers Xavier did the laundry.













We'd all been fishing earlier as well and the fish had made me crave sushi. Thinking of sushi made me think of Asia,and that brought us to China. It had been a long time since I had a holiday and an even longer time since I took the kids, so I checked on-line and booked us some flights to Shang Simla. Just before we left I had to go turn on the sprinklers and look after the garden. Just as I was weeding I maxed out my Gardening skill and learned how to grow an omni-plant. WOO HOO!
But then it was onto the plane and off to China!
 Xavier's POV
Dear Diary,
Today I decided to go on an adventure. I had to go and collect some gems for somebody. To begin with I thought they must have been really lazy and worthless, but then I saw why someone else had to do it. The girl who needed them had broken both her legs. She was unable to walk unaided and had to complete her project. When I gave her the gems I was astounded! She was so pretty it was unbelievable. Her hair was jet black and her eyes were crystal clear pools of Tanzanite blue. I fell in love with her on the spot. She needed me to come back in the morning so I headed home to sleep. Upstairs I could hear a lullaby so I figured mum must have found another guy to be in her challenge.
Skye's POV


And Xavier was right, I had. His name was Shen Su, he was a cancer patient who was going through chemo. When we got upstairs I turned around to pick something up and when I returned to face him he had completely different hair. Apparently he had been wearing a wig because his natural hair was too thin, but he wanted me to know what I was letting myself in for. It was WHITE AND BLUE HAIR!!! I was so pleased because he had lovely eyes as well that would really go. So we got down to business. On the first try we got the lullaby and I was very excited because that meant an adorable little baby or babies was on the way!! Downstairs I had been very careful to make sure he didn't have AIDS or any other STD, I was always very careful about things like that.

Just after he left I got a call from Xavier. he wanted to age up so he could marry the love of his life. He wouldn't tell me her name. But I gave him permission, and he became a fine young adult.

A Family Update

This is Brayan. He's the eldest of the twins and looks just like his Dad. He has only a hint of blue in his hair though.

And this is Einar. He was younger and you can probably see his scarring. Those are from the surgery he had as a baby. He also looks just like his Dad, but he has a bit of my hair.
Today I taught them how to walk...

Woops! Careful little guy! I said as Brayan fell over just as he finished learning to walk.
Talk...

3 guesses what that little cutie will be doing when he grows up. From the look of his first few words all he wants to do is start a family.
And ,inevitably, potty...

I guess you can tell from my expression that this is my least favourite job. UUUGGGGHHHHHHHH!




I was surprised when I saw this though...

This is Felicity teaching her baby bro to talk. We'd spent all morning training at martial arts and now all 3 of my girls were at the same skill level, blue belt! I went downstairs to get he washing when I realised it had already been done, Xavier isn't allowed to do it so it must have been my girls. Why are they being so helpful. I don't know, guess I'll find out eventually. They are meant to be ageing up soon, into Young Adults, these 3 are going to be missed, even with all the banter and fights they had. They love each other really. I hope all my kids get along well, but I really also hope to get a BIT of sibling rivalry because always being perfect annoys me a little. When these 3 do move out I know who the next father will be. He doesn't want to be named but he has green skin and blue/white hair. 


After we'd finished with the boys we went back into the basement and I maxed out my martial arts skill. I was black belt! But now of course we had loads of laundry to do so I had to do it. I must have walked up 12 flights of stairs and down as many.


Updates from my kids:
November has married someone called Abigail. She is a vampire and they have 3 children. Tania(f),Kareem(m) and Shawna(f). 
Ameythist is still going out with Parker and she has 1 child. (f-Richelle)
Ben and Maxine are expecting.
Spring and Wei have 3, Lowell(m), Aspire(f) and Bryant(m). So I have a grand total of 7 Grandchildren, plus Ben and Maxine's!
Meanwhile work is slowly progressing on the island. My house for after the challenge is built with a playground nearby and so is the beach. Ryn is head designer and I'm glad to say it is all very flat meaning no falling down hills or having to push our little car up mountains like nowadays.
