The Oceanside Project: Biltmore Part 2
"The Desolation of Sadie" Part 2
Friday, Day 12
During the twins' morning feeding, Sadie seems more upbeat. Fitz is relieved. He's very nervous about Sadie's mental state, especially today since it's the new baby's due date.
Sadie's "good mood" changes drastically when she misses getting to the toilet on time!
Fitz: Looking good, Honey!
Sadie: *smiles* I'm going to rip your penis off with my teeth! *smiles*
And so the fateful day begins...
As soon as Fitz leaves for work Sadie tries to wake herself up with a shot of espresso. She and Fitz have a variety of coffee to choose from now since they've both bought a lot of coffee from the Troubadour Cafe.
Sadie has to get in a better mood because...
It's birthday party time!
Sadie wastes no time bringing Gavin to the cake.
Sadie: They need to hurry up and get inside so I can get this over with already!
Even though Sadie is not in the party spirit her guests are (well, except for Minka -- I don't know what her problem is).
Yay! One down, one more to go. Sadie...?
Sadie: Fuck that, I'm starving!
Okayyyyyy....
Back inside, Kendrick tries to mend things between himself and his ex Minka by talking to her belly, much to the annoyance of Diego.
Minka firmly shuts him down. Kendrick now knows he was right all along about Minka. They are totally done.
Since Sadie is nowhere to be found and Fitz is still at work, Nanny Angie does the honors of aging Aiden up.
(now she shows up... hmph!)
Aiden, unfortunately, grew-up with a rare skin condition. Minka suggested applying a cream and wrapping his body in rags for a few hours to make it go away. ;)
The toddler guests are more interested in the Clown-in-a-Box than anything else.
Minka still has unresolved issues with Kendrick.
The twins get a quick wardrobe change...
before Mom is down for the count.
Gwyneth Landgraab inducts Heath into the "Cool Kids Club."
And Minka falls in love with Diego!
Angie stays and plays with the kids while Sadie sleeps.
Gwyneth decides she's never leaving.
Now that Dad's home we can do proper make-overs!
First born twin Aiden inherited Fitz's bad eyesight, freckles, and butt-chin. He is a 6-5-8-3-3 Scorpio that has high interests in Sci-Fi, toys, travel and entertainment. He shares the same love of sports as his Mom. He's neurotic like Fitz and unstable like Sadie (poor thing). He also has some weird skin condition that was mentioned previously.
Next up is Gavin who also inherited Dad's bad eyesight and freckles. Gavin is a 10-5-8-3-2 Scorpio with high interests in sports, school, and travel although his ultimate love is science. He is a loner like Fitz and brave like Sadie.
The twins both find a spot for a nap.
Sadie awakens around 6pm and knows it is almost time. Even though she has done this twice before this time something doesn't seem right. She is scared beyond belief. Can she handle another baby?
Sadie's contractions begin on her way to dinner.
Fitz hears Sadie's screams while he is upstairs in the master bathroom.
Fitz: *gasp* It's time!
First baby out (and quickly thrown on the floor) is a boy, Ezra! Like Heath* Ezra Biltmore has his mother's tan skin and gray eyes, and Fitz's red hair.
*Notes: Ezra ended up being a clone of Heath (someone forgot to roll the pacifier >.>) so by the time he ages to toddler, I will have to change his looks and DNA.
Second out is... drumroll please... A GIRL! Kenna Biltmore has her Dad's light skin, hazel eyes, and red hair!
Sadie is a bit dazed after having another double birth. She had, kind-of, prepared herself for dealing with four kids -- but FIVE?
Fitz is so excited to meet his new children. He's so proud of Sadie -- delivering them on her own, being a great mother, holding it all together... Sadie... Sadie...?
The pressure of the week finally comes to a head. All of Sadie's frustration, sadness, irritableness, and fear drive her to a breaking point.
Fitz: Crazy women are SO HOT!
My thoughts exactly, Sadie!
After getting her thoughts back together -- with the help of the invisible therapist -- Sadie becomes a little more like her old self. Right now she just needs a little time to herself. No five kids, no weird husband. She's always loved Fitz's quirkiness but today is not the day to test Sadie Biltmore!
Fitz takes Heath upstairs for more potty training.
Then grabs Kenna...
And Ezra and places them in their cribs. He hopes this will give Sadie the time alone she needs to rest and get better.
Sadie feels so overwhelmed she considers turning to recreational drugs!
Sadie runs outside to play a little soccer, which usually is so much fun for her, but even that is no use. Sadie is miserable!
Sadie: Watcher, please help me. What am I going to do! I'm losing my mind again! I can't think. Nothing is fun. I'm so sad I can hardly breathe!
After a quick shower Sadie heads to the living room where, incredibly, Angie is still in the house watching TV. Before she even realizes it Sadie unloads on Angie all of the emotional issues she's been dealing with during the week.
Angie: Being a mom is the hardest job imaginable. Everysim thinks that they are doing it wrong but they aren't. Sometimes you need help. Sometimes you need to get away from the house and your kids. It is OK to ask for help. It's OK to spend time away from your kids. That's what I'm here for! You can still be a good mom and pursue your own dreams. Never give them up.
Feeling better after her talk with Angie, Sadie puts a sleepy Gavin to bed. Thinking back to when she first arrived to Oceanside all she wanted was to have a family and to catch the bad guys. Now she has a part of the puzzle and the other half is just around the corner. Sadie Winchester Biltmore will have to be patient, she tells herself. Soon she will have it all.
Saturday, Day 13
Fitz worked tirelessly through the night adding another level to their home. Heath's bedroom moved to where the old master bedroom used to be and the new set of twins are in Heath's old room. The third floor now houses the master suite and a workroom/library for Fitz.
Early morning feedings for The Twins: The Sequel are very similar to the first ones.
The other boys are just waking up and getting breakfast as well.
With all of her emotions and fears pushed to the side for now, Sadie can actually enjoy the fact that she now has a daughter. She's so stoked! Sadie hopes Kenna grows up to be just as cool as she is, if not COOLER!
With everything running smoothly at home, Fitz takes a stroll over to his newly-built Biltmore Construction Company to check on things.
Fitz's new business sits on Oceanside Blvd. between Sadie's fire house and Killeen's Kinder Care.
It's rather small but holds all of the important stuff Fitz needs to plan Oceanside.
Fitz sees the building as his escape away from Sadie's melt-downs and screaming children. He even added a chess table for his intellectual "down-time" between work.
Head Garden Club member Rocky Kotsomiti is always the first to check out a new establishment. This is his first time meeting politician Malcolm Landgraab. Goodacre's Grocery Store owner Owen Goodacre also stops by to see Fitz's new digs.
Rocky joins Fitz in a rousing game of chess.
However shy little Fitz is flustered by Rocky's dominating stare.
Malcolm: Did you hear? The girls started some dumb club they're calling the Blue Hat Society! So laaaammme!
Owen: You want in, don't you?
Malcolm: *quietly* I totally want in.
Malcolm: move the Bishop. THE BISHOP!!!
Malcolm why are you here anyway?
Clearly no work is being done in the city...
Who knew Rocky Kotsomiti was the chess-master?
Soon it's time to kick everyone out and head home.
Back at home, Twins 1.0 have found the craft table.
With the kids otherwise occupied Sadie sneaks out back to get her surf-on!
and her soccer-on!
Fitz, fearful of what he would return home to, is pleased to see Sadie and the kids are doing well!
Later, Sadie and Fitz snuggle in bed, going over everything that happened this Fall. Sadie is truly thankful for all that she has, especially her Fitzy-bear. Without him she would really fall to pieces.
Thank you for reading! ^.^
Notes: Sorry it took me so long to post this update. With all of the heat (100+ degree temperatures in my area), and me getting sick with the flu, and soccer season for my boys, and the Fall TV season (*coughVampireDiariescough*) it has been pretty busy for me IRL.
I hope the update wasn't too depressing. I tried my best to keep Sadie happy but SHE HONESTLY DOESN'T LIKE TO WATCH TV so her fun meter kept tanking. Then she got the "fear of having a baby" right before she went into labor and there was nothing I could do. My poor little Sadie :( And then... ANOTHER SET OF TWINS! Well, now she just has two more to go and then she'll be just like her hero Molly Weasley. Bring on more twins!
I switched the household order around to try to help Fitz reach the top of the Architect career and open the Business District faster. I also moved the Firestones to the next to last update to catch all the transitioning children so they can attend school (when that time comes next year). Angie Killeen will always be last to catch all of the toddlers.
I ended up cheating and added the never-spoil bottles to this household. If I didn't the toddlers would have starved... or Cinders would have because the toddlers would have eaten all of his food!
Oh, and the fish totally died. There was no way I would be able to take care of seven sims, a dog, and a bunch of fish... not going to happen.
