The Moncur Dynasty 1.2
In our last episode: Amelie grew up in the green to adulthood and married her high school sweetheart, Finn Cave, who failed to impregnate her twice in a row. On to week 3.....
Amelie: "Nice doggie... fetch!"
Uhh, that's a fawn, Amelie....
Amelie: "Whatever. It can still play fetch."
Amelie: "Really, Finn? You only make a burger for yourself and I have orange juice for breakfast! Worst husband ever..."
Finn: *doesn't think ahead*

Conceived on the nasty mattress couch. The child must never know of this!
Amelie: "What the hell? That wasn't enough excitement for you?"
Finn: "It's so boring here! I've gotta do something!"
Amelie: "Okay, how about some kicky bag? - Oh, hey, check me out! I'm good at this!"
Finn: "Aww crap! I should've suggested chess..."
That night, Finn threw a small party for his friends. In an attempt to entertain said guests, he kindly put on a freestyling performance in his pajamas. Made $100 out of the poor suckers too...
Amelie: *still looks hot in her pajamas*
Too bad I'm planning on having her pregnant as much as possible... She's pure eye-candy in those...
Amelie: "Mmm... relaxing..."
I could never relax in that bathroom!
With his impregnation duties out of the way, Finn did a little relaxing of his own....
Amelie: "I don't get it. Why do my sandcastles never look like the ones on television? They're always just these shapeless lumps..."
It's a creativity skill thing, Amelie. You'll get there someday...
Finn: *spent a little too much time in the sun*
Amelie: "I really should get started on this car. The engine will be my first goal, I think."
Finn: "Omg, the dead tree is on fire!"
Fawn: *sniffle* "That was where I lived..."
Yup, the spring thunderstorms kicked in with a vengeance that day.
Seriously, even though I knew the rain would put it out, I had grave concerns for Finn standing directly underneath such a powerful blaze... for a guy with 10 logic points, he's dumb as a box of hammers...
Speaking of hammers, it was time for these newlyweds to both pitch in and share the load. Amelie was much more concerned with the car running smoothly, whilst Finn did the typical guy thing and just wanted it to look hot.
Random picture of Amelie whistling. Usually I'm not into those FT idle animations, but Amelie looks adorable doing pretty much anything...
Finn: "I built your dream sandcastle just for you, my love..."
Amelie: "Awww, baby...."
Uhh, should you be drinking beer when you're pregnant?
Amelie: "Should you be playing Sims 2 when your laundry basket is full?"
She's got me there...
One of Finn's many lady friends showed up. Her name's Tiara and apparently she's colorblind. Bad wardrobe choice. Finn, however, didn't seem to care and started showing how much of a romance sim he truly is. Not content with this one infidelity, he later cheated with his friend Louisa as well.
Romance Sims + Spring + ACR = craziness!
Amelie: *second pop*
Yup, I missed the first one. All pops look the same anyway.
Due to a lack of neat points on both Finn and Amelie's parts, the stove was left uncleaned one too many times and the first sim-started fire broke out.
Finn stepped up to the plate and bravely extinguished the blaze with nobody harmed and nothing destroyed.
Amelie: "Grrr! These labor pains are intense!"
Color Co-ordinated Townies: "Holy crap! Is this really wise without a doctor?"
It's a girl! Meet Josie. Black hair (no surprises there), Amelie's eyes and a geneticized skintone.
Amelie: "Did you hear that? I made the engine work!"
Good job!
Finn + Josie: *staring contest*
Amelie: "Can we have more babies now?"

Finn's a pretty awesome dad, actually. And as far as sim babies go, Josie is the prettiest I've seen. I think it's Amelie's eyes that do it...
Amelie: "Oooh, Finn finished the body work." *paints it black*
Not exactly a masterpiece, but it'll do.
Time for Josie's birthday. Yeah, I bought her a cake. I figure birthday cakes don't count, since they're something that sims should technically be able to bake themselves...
Aww, a doe eyed toddler with improbable hair.
Personality = Libra 2, 7, 2, 8, 7 (with two Libran parents, I'm not surprised...)
Finn missed out on the birthday, however. He was successfully repairing the shower. All that time spent working on the car had other up sides...
Amelie: "Don't think I haven't noticed you stalking my husband from room to room, Louisa! He's mine - we had our first woohoo together and that means something special! If I catch you so much as looking at him the wrong way ever again, I will personally make you wish you'd died along with the rest of the planet!"
Josie: "Baffroom is scary!"
Finn: "You know, we should really take a long scenic drive around he island now that we have a car."
Amelie: "Ugh, shut up and impregnate me, already!"

Toddler spam ahead...
Josie: "H-hello?"
Creepy Doll: "Wanna play?"
Josie: "Omg, this baby is seriously injured! Somebody call 911!"
I have high hopes for her. I've a sneaking suspicion that face is going to age well...
Finn: "And I will always loooove yooouuuuu!"
Amelie: "Aww, you're so romantic...."
Yeah. 'Cause that bathroom is super romantic....
Finn: "I don't see Amelie complaining..."
So cute!
Josie: "Don't worry, I'll take care of you..."
Creepy Doll: "And I will always be with you, Josie."
Josie: "A wolf....don't make any sudden moves, okay...?"
Seriously, that car building = win
Finn has been able to fix everything first try since it's completion.
Eww! Not the nasty toilet! How do you keep those white pajamas so white in that bathroom, anyway?
As for Louisa, since her little talk with Amelie, she's rejected every single one of Finn's attempts to flirt with her and her romantic feelings toward him are gone. She still comes over, but is content to sit and watch the breakers roll in...
Amelie: "That's right. Nobody gets between me and my man!"
