The Raine Family Legacy--Gen 1, Chapter 9: And Baby Makes Three, or Seven, in This Case

(First off, please bear with me as I struggle to take care of way too many sims...)

Miraj noticed his eldest son was alienating himself from the rest of his family, and decided to buy him a special cake for his birthday.  Ash appreciated the gesture, but it made him feel more different than ever, as he was the only one eating it.

Ash:  (Woohoo!  One year closer to getting out of this crazy house!)

He is absolutely gorgeous.  (slob, loves the outdoors, good, hopeless romantic)

The triplets had their cake-free birthdays next.

Summer:  (brave, excitable)

Autumn:  (heavy sleeper, couch potato, and my new favorite toddler...I just can't get over how cute Miraj's face looks squished onto a toddler.  <3 )

Winter:  (hates the outdoors, friendly)

Here they are together, dressed in their favorite colors.

At this point the Raine household fell into utter chaos.  The maid could not keep up with the mess and there were crying children everywhere.

Ash and Acid were very happy to go to school and get a break from the triplets.

This is Ash's friend Belinda.  Though clearly peculiar, Belinda was fangless and thoroughly enjoyed birthday cake.

Ash took solace in her near-normality, and decided every waking moment would belong to her.  As you can see, she is quite smitten with him as well.

She agreed to be his girlfriend without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Ember was progressing nicely in her career and did a surprisingly good job of supporting seven people on one income.

Acid spent most of his time painting.

While Ember and Miraj kept themselves busy with the toddlers.

(I love this picture, they look like giants.  They're actually on the second floor, the house disappeared when I went into free camera mode for some reason.)

Then it was Acid's turn to become a teenager.

He's very dorky.  <3

Despite their differences, the boys were still able to coexist amicably.

Acid still looks smaller for some reason.  Maybe it's the hair?

Days and days passed with the same old thing, teaching toddlers walking and talking.

And Ash and Belinda suffocating each other.

This routine continued until the triplets grew into children.

Summer:  (can't stand art)

Autumn:  (evil)

Winter:  (lucky)

Is it just me, or do they look like they can't stand each other?

Autumn:  Please tell me I don't have to share a room with these two!

Next up:  Ash and Acid are good and evil, respectively, this peace can't possibly last, can it?
