I was starting to feel bad for the little dude. It wasn't lack for trying on Trista's part, she just never seemed to guess what was really wrong with Pepper. If he was starving she wanted to play with him. If he was stinky, she wanted to feed him. If he was tried, she wanted to put him in the playpen.
"I'm gonna get ya! Claw attack!"
"Whhhhhaaaa, hungy!"
With Pepper now a toddler and not sleeping through Trista watching TV all the time, it was time to build a bigger house. We still didn't have much money, so I saved everything they owned and got as much money back as possible for the wallpaper, floors and walls. This gave us a bit to work with, and we managed to build a little 3 bedroom ranch style house. It was pretty boring as far as houses went, as all it was, was a bigger rectangle. But it gave them the extra space they needed and a bedroom Pepper could call his own.
Trista seemed to break everything in the house at once. She broke the toilet, Garlic unclogged it. She broke the shower, Garlic repaired it. She broke the sink, Garlic repaired it. He was starting to go unhinged again, and was constantly worried someone didn't turn the sink off and the house was going to flood.
She then broke the sink again while he was sleeping, she tried cleaning up the mess, but it just kept spewing water all over the floor. She did this for hours, mop, spray, mop, spray. I think she has a bit of OCD.
Garlic worked on Pepper's skills when he had time. Trista just put Pepper in the playpen to teach him to talk, and the walker to teach him to walk. (These autonomous toddler skill mods are not working, I might have to leave out the playpen and walker with the next baby to see if she will do it autonomously.)
In the end, Pepper did learn how to talk, walk and potty like a big boy.
"I go poop!"
Good job, buddy!
Snowflake day arrived and I thought what fun it would be to go to the Winter Festival, so I had Garlic initiate an outing.
"My house is a mess, I cannot leave right now!"
Trista, quit being a couch potato and go have some fun!
"Fine, but I will not enjoy this."
"Voices, check that out! I want to go on that!"
Garlic, you'll break your leg, you can't snowboard!
"Sure I can, I learned last night in a dream!"
That doesn't count, don't do it!
"Pfft, Trista tells me not to always listen to the voices, so I will not today."
Going for sane huh?
Before he could get on the snowboardermagigger, he spotted something.
"I told you he wasn't mine!"
He is too! That guy is just a coincidence!
"Not buying it. You still haven't shown me proof."
"OH MY GOD! NOW HE'S IN FRONT OF ME!"
Calm down you loon! He's not Pepper's father!
"I want a DNA test, pronto!"
Knock it off, your being ridiculous!
He finally did, and finally got to ride the snowboarding ride, he forgot all about the guy he thought could be Pepper's father.
That night, they threw a gift giving party. I hadn't had one of these yet since I got Seasons, so I figured I'd try it out. Plus I was hoping people would bring us expensive presents! Well that was a disappointment! Everyone brought gifts, everyone got to open gifts. Everyone but my family. So let me get this straight, I host the party, pay for the food that everyone eats, have to make sure everyone is entertained and then we don't get any gifts? LAME!
The only good thing about that party? Baby number two is on its way. Pepper was almost a child, and both Trista and Garlic were only days away from being full adults, so I thought, why not.
The pregnancy was pretty uneventful, so we didn't get any pictures of it. Pepper managed to mastered his xylophone skill, even though he had a funny way of playing it. And Garlic got another promotion before the new baby arrived.
Pepper's birthday finally arrived, and just as I was trying to figure out if I could buy a cake or not for him, Trista goes into labor. Well crap! Garlic has to be to work in two hours and he's already missed one day before of Trista's shenanigans. I can't call a babysitter, so bad luck on Trista's part, she has to have the baby at home.
The carpool will arrive for Garlic in one hour. Trista where are you going?! She decided she was going to head to the hospital on her own. How do I know this? Because Garlic popped up "Meet Up". No, no, no! Cancel! You have no one at home now to watch Pepper! Crap, now he's going to be late for work, or worse, miss it again! I then I get the notification to name the baby. Well that was fast, she just left!
Now as far as I can see, because I know for a fact she never made it to the hospital, she delivered in the taxi. Now I can't be too sure of this. But she had just left the house when I got the notification for a baby name. When I clicked on her to see where the heck she was, she was in the taxi already on her way home.
Meet, Olive. I was able to pick her traits as well, so I randomized and gave her insane and good. Her favorite color is white also (not that it matters, but this whole family's favorite color is white besides Trista's. Wanna know what her favorite color is? Seafoam. so white.
Back at home, Garlic had left for work, leaving poor Pepper home alone! Noooo what are you guys doing! Thankfully, and I don't know why, nothing popped up about him being home alone, so we were saved on that. Pepper in the meantime was being neglected horribly and was in the red! His hunger had just a bit left, bladder all the way red, sleep all the way red. When Trista finally got home, she took her sweet time putting Olive in the crib and settling herself back in the house. My husband is laughing at me cause I'm screaming at the monitor and she's just twiddling her fricking thumbs! Oh he needs to eat? Okay now she'll go feed him! No, no wait, now he's fricking having his birthday!
So dangerously in the red, starving, pissy and exhausted, Pepper changes into a child.
What did I do? I saved and quit. Will he die of starvation? Will he collapse of exhaustion? Will the social worker finally come and take this poor boy away?
I don't know, I'm a bit scared to find out.
No fails this update.
