Sign From Above: The Winter Story - 28
Life, shockingly, went back to normal. Cassandra returned to her painting.
Julian returned to gaming.
And everyone else? Well, close enough.
Elizabeth: "Seriously? You haven't read the book sequels? 00T was a hoppy! None of that freaky shit in the Web of Deceit shit movie sequels happened."
Don: "I'm not much of a reader."
Elizabeth: "No shit!"
Niska: "I must search my data drives to participate in this conversation."
Julian: "What up, Mr G? Come to see Odi?"
Mortimer: "You are still around? Why do I keep hoping you disappeared in the night to be a deadbeat dad?"
Bella arrived not long after.
Mortimer: "Serious, one quick divorce. I will even write a big cheque to make it worth your while."
Julian: "Not happening, Mr G. Let me go get Odi so you can see him."
While Julian was gone, Bella gave Mortimer a stern talking to.
Bella: "Leave off, okay? He isn't that bad. Cassandra could have done much much worse. She could have married that repulsive Don that Elizabeth is shacked up with."
Mortimer: "Alright. I'll go easy. But I'm not letting him entirely off the hook."
Julian: "Look, Mrs G, isn't Odi just the cutest?"
Bella: "Wow! He is adorable!"
Then while Julian and Bella were talking, Mortimer picked up his grandson. Weird. I didn't even know that sims outside the household could even do that.
Then Mortimer gave him a bottle.
Mortimer: "Good luck kid, you are going to need it in this house."
Baby Odi was moved back inside, and Elizabeth being a proud aunt was quick to show him off. Ignoring that Julian is napping on the couch.
Elizabeth: "Can you believe it, huh, Mortimer? My weenie brother and Cassandra made this adorable little green bean?"
Mortimer: "No. Not at all."
After the Goths left, the Winter twins amused themselves by doing impressions. They had fun at least.
Don spent some time in the seldom used gym.
As expected, Niska brought Alexander home from school with her and was quick to show off the baby.
Niska: "This young infant was inside Cassandra -- as everyone explained, she did not ingest it. The young infant is named Odi."
Alexander: "He is pretty cute."
Everyone loved and adored Odi, and he thrived.
Time passed, and he quickly out grew that little bassinet. This is Odi before his makeover. He has black hair just like Cassandra!
After a little makeover, Julian begun teaching him with flashcards.
Julian: "Glitch! Can you say "glitch?""
Odi: "Ha ha! Glitch!"
Julian: "I'm exhausted, and the little guy needs feeding, and potty training. Can you keep an eye on him?"
Don: "Sure. Hey little guy!"
Odi: "Haha! Glitch!"
Don: "Ha. Not the first sim to prefer something food related instead of talking to me."
Both parents spent so much time caring for him.
Julian: "The fridge is empty again."
Cassandra: "Again?"
Julian: "Yep. All the cakes are gone."
Cassandra: "You just baked those yesterday."
Being a good father, Julian read Odi a bed time story.
Julian: "Once upon a time in a land far far away, there was a valiant and wise dragon. So powerful, all the land worshipped him as if the were world were created by him alone."
Don has gotten really needy lately.
Don: "What are you doing?"
Julian: "Cooking food for my son when he wakes up."
Don: "Cool, cool..."
Julian: "Don't be that guy. Go get a hobby, Don, that doesn't revolve around my sister."
Tox: "Don't eat your vegetables! They are bad for you... or are they good for you? No, bad for you is right. If you are allergic to your carrots I will eat them and say you did."
Odi played with his toys, and learned so much. He really was growing fast.
And soon enough, he was out growing his diapers and learning to use the potty.
He was growing, but not too quickly.
Odi: "Waaaaa!"
Julian: "What is wrong? Come here, little guy. Give Papa a cuddle."
