Generation 4 - Chapter 3

Last we left off, Clay just gave birth to the family's first alien baby, the new heir, Draco. Lucy has attached herself to Draco now hoping to get another ally in the house. Will she make it to see him become a toddler? Will he get a good inheritance? Oh, Remington, I told you to leave people alone. Remington got Clay as he was looking at the stars...and maybe the aliens, too. Don't be too excited about being scared by a ghost. You never know what could happen. I know it's hard to tell, but the max out skill icon is just disappearing. Thanks to all the nighttime star watching, Clay managed to max out his logic skills as his grandfather floated by him. And Remington attacked again. After his last scaring, Clay's needs dipped, so he had to go into the kitchen to get something to eat. But then, after Remington scared Clay, I tried to click over to Clay's icon, but I couldn't. It took me a second before I finally realized why. Oh no! He couldn't get that food made fast enough before Remington came calling again. (Pay no attention to the dirty bottle) And what comes after a sim is crumpled in a heap on the floor? Yep, Grimmy. He wasn't supposed to come until it was time for Lucy to go, but it seems he got called down early. Thank goodness Maura was home so she could beg Grim to save her husband. Not only begging, but pleading and groveling for Grim to spare Clay. Luckily, Maura picked the correct hand and Clay's life was spared. In your face, Grim! Ha! Really, Maura. There's such a thing as a sore winner. Try and keep it down a notch so he doesn't come back for you early. As Clay was lifted back up into the world of the living, Grim warned Clay to be careful and watch out for the ghosts. Sigh, Clay, keep it down. Don't celebrate too much or else Grim will change his mind! But, he got his Saved from Death want, yay! Awww, these two are so cute together. =) Less than 24 hours later, Grim showed up at the house again. This time he was here for Lucy as she was about to join Brady in the afterlife. "Hey, I got a couple grains left. You're sure it's my time?" I don't know why Lucy is fighting Grimmy. Everyone in the house hates her and can't wait for her to die. She should have yelled at Grim for taking too long to come and get her. But she went peacefully, afterall. Unfortunately, she died on the same day as Lahela's birthday. It's a bitter sweet occasion. The family will always remember this day. Only because Lucy's urn is in the picture as Lahela is blowing out her candles. Let's watch as Lahela spins into childhood and out of the toddler years. Yep, she's really got the Cavanaugh nose, but she's still a cutie. Too bad one of her fears as a toddler was the death of a relative because she didn't have time to get over it before transitioning. So she grew up badly. Let's hope it doesn't affect her later in life.

Generation 4 - Chapter 2

Welcome to another chapter in the lives of the Cavanaugh's. I know it's been a while since my last update (has it really been over a month?), but let's do a quick recap. Clay just got abducted by aliens and came back to hear the chimes of the lullaby. Need to remember anything else? Take a look back and get a refresher. Now on with the show. The morning after the abduction, life appeared to return to normal. Maya had her head back in a book studying and she managed to max out cleaning, I think. Then she made her way over to the chess board where she played a game with Clay. Clay is discussing with her his fears that he could quite possibly be pregnant after his adventure last night. Later that night, who else show up, but a ghost. I don't think there has been a ghost free night, well, ever. I'd hate to find out how they would react if I ever got rid of their beds. And here is Maya. This girl has always gotten up in the middle of the night from a sound sleep ever since she was a child. She usually gets up to make the bed, but this night, she awoke from a sound sleep to primp. Interesting girl, Maya is. At the same time, on the other side of the house, Clay found himself waking out of a sound sleep as well. And why, you ask? Aww, if the bump of the alien baby! Poor Lucy. It seems the baby is the only person in the house to not hate her, but isn't that a sweet picture? After her conversation with Clay over the chess table, Maya decided it would be best for her and Dorian to get out of the crazy house. She had heard her Aunt McKenna did the same thing after something called a firey birthday, but now with another baby coming into the family from her own brother, well, she just had to get out. After news spread throughout the house, the rest of the family came running into the den to say their goodbyes as Maya gave them her condolences. Maya and Dorian chose to say their goodbyes before going out to the taxi, so as they were climbing in, they didn't look back at the house they called home for so long. That same day is another birthday for the family. This time the birthday is for Lahela, the first born of Clay and Maura. Aww, daddy and daughter, and look how happy he looks. And as with all children have done since the family started, Clay threw Lahela into the air as she transitioned into the next stage of her life. Say it with me, now. Awww. Isn't she cute? She's got her mom's red hair and green eyes and it looks like her father's nose. Agh! I curse you, Marisa Bendett! Three generations later and it's still running rampant! First order of business is to get rid of those diapers. Now that another baby is coming, the family thought it best to save money on diapers by potty training Lahela. And, done. What is it with this family? Every person, live and dead, refuse to leave Lucy alone. And this time it is her dearly departed husband who promised to cherish and protect her. I don't know what I'm going to do with them. That's right, Remington, just keep going. Just pass through and don't bother anyone. Lucy has decided that she would like to teach Lahela to walk...and if Lahela could increase her inheritance at the same time, score! I don't suppose the others in the house will get much, so she needs to give it to somebody, right? Uh oh, Clay did you eat something bad? What's wrong? Oh, I get it. It's baby time! If anyone remembers the picture I posted a while back of the baby, then nobody will be surprised by this next picture. Aww, it's a green baby. And, the generation 4 heir! Yep, Clay had a baby boy and since we needed a D name, his name is Draco. Yep, Draco from Harry Potter. We can thank my sister for that. After all the excitement, Maura went back to work cleaning. What did she care? It's not her kid, Clay can deal with him, getting up in the middle of the night for cleanings and feeding. Aww, and it's Draco's first bottle. Let's hope he doesn't get the nose.
