Chapter 3.2 - Surprise!

Hello all, and welcome back to the McKracken family.

A heads up before the chapter starts, I've not mentioned it before, but I've got a new job! Not the one I was originally applying for, but a different one. It's a more stable job this time round, with regular shifts, so there shouldn't be any change to my already erratic uploading schedule >_> If there is, I'll be sure to mention it.

Anyways, as of right now, all the Generation Four children are teenagers, and I got the rolls for the generation. They are so much simpler than the Generation Three rolls. The sight of them doesn't make me want to curl up and cry.

I have also chosen the next generation heir. It was a hard choice, as I had to choose between two very strong contenders. I won't give anything away, and I will try to be as unbiased as I can until the heir is revealed.

With all that out the way, let's move onto the chapter!

Last time, Damien and Vincent took over the legacy as co-heirs, and Damien met an interesting young woman called Candace Barker. After meeting up a few time (aka twice), Damien had his first kiss with her in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.

Candace ended up staying the night, and the regular ghostly visits proved to be a surprise to her.

Candace: I know you mentioned that you have ghosts, but I didn't think that it was this bad...

Damien: Yeah, sorry about that. They normally possess the furniture downstairs... Also my foot has merged with the bedside table. I may need help.

It's no surprise that Candace has moved into the house. She was a homeless Sim that had an unfortunate case of Vanilla Face, so here she is after I "saved" her. I tried to make her look different from all the other Sims I've ever made, just so I could get some interesting looking offspring. Her traits are: Excitable, Genius, Green Thumb, Snob, and Unlucky. She likes hamburgers, the colour lilac, and listening to Indie music. She's a Taurus who wants to be a Creature/Robot Cross Breeder.

Same as Damien's father.

The other person to move into the family is Mortimer Goth, Vincent's childhood friend turned boyfriend. They also had their first kiss in the middle of a zombie apocalypse... Mortimer's traits are: Artistic, Ambitious, Grumpy, Heavy Sleeper, and Kleptomaniac. He likes classical music, eating french toast, and the colour black. His star sign is Aries, and he wants to be a Master Thief.

Perfect.

Vincent: Nice hairdo. How much hair gel did you need to use to make you look like a a grown man playing a teenager in an 70's film set in the 50's?

Damien: At least I didn't have to shave mine off. Mind you, I'd shave it off anyway if I had your mullet.

Vincent: :(

Savage.

Look who's pregnant with Generation Four!

I also love how Damien is going to become a father, and all he is dreaming about is fishing.

The two "extras" in the family had time to themselves as Damien and Vincent were out working.

Candace insisted on raking up the leaves in the garden, in her nightgown.

Leaves that were falling even though it was SPRING.

Whilst Vincent worked on his Athletic skill for his career.

Well, tried to anyway.

Because there Generation Four was on the way, Damien and Candace had a quick shot gun wedding to make their offspring official. That, and the children take the mother's surname, and I didn't want to bother with the hassle of changing names in the future.

Mortimer: Hmmm... Marriage... That sounds like a good idea.

As Mortimer headed downstairs to propose to Vincent, Vincent had already beaten him to the punch. Or the ring, in this case.

He bought the ring on his way home from work, and didn't even bother changing into some formal clothes.

Mortimer still said yes.

Damien: Holy crap I'm going to be a father.

Candace: Aye, and I think I'm having twins. Would explain how big I've been getting.

The night before the wedding, Vincent rolled this wish.

THAT'S YOUR COUSIN.

AND YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED SOON.

To your fiance, not your cousin >_>

Picking a day when it wasn't raining, Vincent and Mortimer had an outdoor wedding. The guest list included everyone from the previous generation, along with a few friends and family who gatecrashed.

Martha, now an elder, showed up in her outer wear. I didn't get round to changing her in CAS, but now I wish I had D:

Martha, I'm so sorry!

She's also glowing red because she is the Emperor of Evil. Not because she has suddenly turned into a fairy, as I had feared.

The wedding was a simple affair, with everyone enjoying themselves. Claire Ursine wept for joy at the sight of the two lovebirds, whilst Martha threw confetti onto her son and new son-in-law. She claimed that she wasn't aiming for their faces.

She lied.

Claire: Oh, I don't feel too good...

Vita: Come now, Claire, surely you're not too bad.

Agnes: Umm...

Cornelia: I swear to God, if you die now at my son's wedding...

Claire: Huh.

Vita: ... I stand corrected.

Agnes: Oh God!

Cornelia: You just had to die right now, didn't you?

The mood of the wedding rapidly dropped as the Grim Reaper appeared to take Claire away, with everyone crying.

Everyone except for Martha.

Because of course...

As if there wasn't enough excitement going on, Candace went into labour shortly afterwards.

Ah, a basket. So she did have twins after all, and Damien didn't show up at the hospital so she has to carry them home by herself, right :)

Wrong.

She had triplets.

Whoops.

Mother of the Year award, right there. Leaving your newborn children in the snow, when it shouldn't even be snowing because it's nearly SUMMER.

Moving on, let's meet the triplets!

Robin McKracken, the youngest of the triplets, was born with the Loner and Disciplined traits. His favourites are: indie, salmon, and purple.

In the blue cot is Lucas McKracken, the eldest of the triplets. His traits are Loves The Cold and Slob. His favourites are: kids, falafel, and blue.

Finally there's Judith McKracken, the middle triplet and only girl. She loves the outdoors and is excitable. Her favourites are: pop, pancakes, and red.

All the triplets have the same star sign: Aries. It always annoys me when twins or triplets have different star signs to each other, so I deliberately made a note to change them all to Aries when I could.

Candace: I have an idea: let's never do that again. 

I agree. And I've still got one more child to fit in D:

I downloaded this hair from Mod the Sims after Candace had moved in, and I wish I had downloaded it before because she looks gorgeous.

Candace: Oh, Robin, my youngest. I reckon you are going to grow up to be just like your father.

Candace: Judith, my little arsekicker. You are going to do great things when you get older.

Damien: I made this :O

Damien still seems surprised that he is now a father of three.

As am I.

I normally like to end chapters on either a ghost photo or a glitch, but this time I'll end it on this cute photo of Damien and Candace.

Damien: Sorry, I think my hand is lost in your hair.

----

Another chapter comes to a close, and things are picking up! I didn't intend for Candace to have triplets. The plan was for her to have twins, then for Vincent and Mortimer to adopt, and then Candace to have a third child. Or for her to have three separate births in between Vincent and Mortimer adopting.

I guess she had other plans.

As I said before, I've got the rolls for the generation. They are so much easier than this generations rolls.

Next chapter will be toddler spam, sorry D:

See you next time!
