Hello there! Just a quick notice from my side: Including this chapter, there are only 3 left for the next few days. I have a super important exam next week so I don’t have time to play more chapters. This means, after the chapter on Friday, there will be a short hiatus for one week.
Anyway, back to the prettiest family on earth. Last time Betty aged up to young adult, her boyfriend Maverick, too, and they made a baby. And most importantly, Don was grumpy ALL. THE. TIME.

The bad bad morning sickness. Poor Betty but that’s what you’ve got to deal with whem you want a baby. Unless you are like me and just want a furry baby, kitten. Or tons of them. Yes, I wanna be a crazy cat lady ā¤

I put Maverick in the Military carreer because he’s active and I haven’t finished the career yet. And I think it’s kinda cool.
And yes, I already started his club stuff. His club is called Dancers but later on I changed it to The Jolies. Why? Because all the members at that time were Maverick (not married but I gave him the name anyway), Betty, Linda and Don.

Betty still has her aspiration to write 4 songs. Here she started her third song. And I also made her get into the Entertainer career. At first I wanted something totally different for her but looking through the jobs I was like “naaaaaah”.
And what better timing than to start a new job when pregnant in your second trimester? She even started at level 3 because of all her As in school š

All dirty and smelly but still self-assured as hell. Have you ever met someone like this in real life? I have tons of times. On the bus. The stinkiest ones always sat down on the seat next to me… That’s torture. Seriously. Don’t use public transport if you don’t know what a shower looks like from the inside!

Linda wandered by and – Betty on her third trimester – decided it’s time to tell her mother she’s expecting. Linda was shocked.
Linda: You’re pregnant?! I thought you’re just getting fat!

As a teen, Betty got rid of that belly. Yes, I know, now there’s also the baby part of it but I think the whole belly got a bit smaller after like 7 hours on the treadmill.

Maverick came home from his first day at work with a promotion! Woot woot! Level 2! And his reward is that medal thingy. Love it.
He was so proud he just had to tell it to anybody. The first person he spotted was Linda but she couldn’t care less. She probably was still shocked her daughter is not fat but pregnant.

There was another promotion. Don is now the National Leader! Level 10 of the politician career š First time for me.
He looks so thrilled… Maybe because I made him decline all bribaries so far. We are good people – with a morbid, cynical humor.

Maverick needed to march around to get better chances for his next promotion. Luckily, he loved it because he’s an active sim.
Oh my gosh! There’s a dragon (crocodile?) on the train! So cute!

Linda is not squeamish but as soon as she has to do (forced by me) something that includes cleaning, she gets a bad moodlet because she’s disgusted. Oh girl… I won’t get you a maid or a butler. Oh wait, a butler would be cool tho. But not for this generation. Maybe for a different one.

As you can see I was working hard *cough* on Maverick’s aspiration. He needed to be leader of a club with 8 members. So I invited some more to the club. And yes, I picked Raj and Ulrike.
Just because I said mean things about them as they lived next to the Jolies doesn’t mean I can’t stand them š Maybe that’s my way of saying “I love you. As a friend.”

To collect points, they all had to dance. That was the only option I picked. The Rasoyas came in and immediately joined Linda dancing.
Linda: HOOOOOOLD UP! They? Raj and Ulrike? Why? They were noisy and nosy! No way! No. I’m out of this!
Just kidding, she was dancing weirdly.
I wonder what would happen if she knew Ulrike was one of Don’s 8 girlfriends…

While the club was dancing in the kitchen, Maverick was in the hall way practicing his Charisma. And it’s not like with Don who needed to max it for his career. No, for the Leader of the Pack aspiration you only need to get to level 5. That’s it. Basically, you need charisma level 5, a club with 8 people and earn 1,000 points with your club. That’s the whole aspiration. Easy peasy lemon squeezy but also boring…

Maverick: Does she always eat like this? *pulls lettuce out of his hair*
Don: Oh yes. Ain’t she a beauty?
Maverick: ….
Betty ain’t that much better looking!

Oh look, Betty is still pregnant. I started Maverick’s aspiration after they tried for baby and his aspiration is done now. And Betty is still pregnant. See? See what I mean?
Also, please don’t get a nomination again. One award is enough.

I don’t know what Betty did on the laptop (I think writing jokes). But she went into labor. I sent her to the hospital. Maverick followed. I didn’t. I’m probably part of a minority here. I don’t want to see the birth. Just give me a pretty baby.

And here she is: Danielle. Yes, another girl. But she’s generation 3 so it’s ok. Maybe she’ll have a boy one day.
Yes, the house is still not even close to being finished. Spoiler: it will never be finished š

First thing I did after I found the baby: Check on Betty’s belly. It’s still there… Oh darn.
That’s it for this chapter!
