the bifrost family awesomesauce challenge » gen. 4, ch. 2
Previously in The Bifrost Family Awesomesauce Challenge:
After Anastasia was named heiress, Lusa, Andre, and Victoria all moved out. Magnus had more girl problems. Anastasia became a young adult, and her boyfriend Carlo (who, as it turns out, has commitment issues) moved in. That's actually pretty much all that happened, haha. Onward!
We begin this chapter with Magnus paying his on-again, off-again crush a visit.
Abbie: Magnus? Were you... hiding in the bushes?
Magnus: No! Okay, maybe a little, but you won't return my calls, and- wow I sound like a stalker. Let me start over. I've been trying to get ahold of you for a while now, but only because I've been wanting to ask you something.
Abbie: Look, Magnus, if it's about your Simlish homework, I've already told you I'm not letting you copy off mine anymore. You won't learn anything that way!
Magnus: No, no, it's not that! Prom's coming up, and I guess I was just wondering-if you don't already have someone to go with-would you maybe wanna go with me?
Abbie: I'd love to! You should know something, though. The aliens might abduct me before the dance, so there's a chance I might not make it. I'll still go with you, but just be aware that it can happen at any time.
Magnus: Um. Okay?
No, really. That happened. .__.
Anastasia: Well... this'll be an interesting surprise to tell Carlo about.
Anastasia: Um, Carlo? Don't freak out, but... I'm pregnant.
Carlo: With emotion...?
stole that from Knocked Up but whatever I thought it was funny sdhfksjhd
Anastasia: With a baby, you dolt!
Carlo: Oh. Oh! That's great!
Anastasia: It is?
Carlo: Of course it is! You'll be an awesome mom, Ana. I just hope I can be an okay dad.
Anastasia: Not the reaction I was expecting at all, but I'm so glad you feel that way.
Anastasia: Carlo?
Carlo: Yeah?
Anastasia: You're gonna be a great dad.
Carlo: Thanks, baby. I hope so.
*happily clicks the check mark button*
Carlo seems serious about this whole parenting thing. He read both pregnancy books right away.
Despite the fact that he's finally dating the girl of his dreams, it appears Magnus is still up to his old tricks.
Nero: Just a couple more years until he moves out... just a couple more years.
Ruth: Hey there, heavily-pregnant daughter of mine! Wanna have a pillow fight?
Anastasia: Sure thing, mom! What could possibly go wrong?
Anastasia: OH. THIS.
Everyone: *pretends Anastasia doesn't exist*
Introducing Sienna Bifrost, the first child of Generation Brown! She's artistic and athletic, and she likes roots music, hamburgers, and (very fittingly) spice brown.
She's promptly aged up because metapods are boring. And she's adorble!
Yes Carlo, put the baby down right next to the pile of dirty laundry. -__-
Carlo: What? It looked like a comfortable place for her to lay!
Lucky for Sienna, her Great-Great Grandma Corny knows a lot more about parenting than her dad does. I almost forgot she was still alive though for a second there ;-; whoops haha
Seriously though, I think all the grown-ups secretly missed having babies around because everyone's constantly picking up Sienna. (':
Ruth: Carlo, can I ask you about something that's been on my mind for a while?
Carlo: Sure thing, Mrs. B.
Ruth: What exactly are your intentions with my daughter? It's obvious you care for her deeply, and I know she loves you. My concerns are that you may be leading her on, and that isn't fair to her. I just don't want to see Ana get hurt.
Carlo: I know, you're right. I do love Ana, it's just- I've never been in a commited relationship before, and frankly the whole idea is terrifying to me. But you have to know hurting Ana is the last thing I'd ever want to.
Ruth: Then why don't you just tell her?
Carlo: Tell her what?
Ruth: That you love her, of course. But only if that's how you really feel.
Carlo: It is, I know that now. I don't know how the hell I'm gonna to do it, but I'll tell her tonight.
Ruth: Just be honest with her! Nero was always honest about his feelings with me when we were young, and look how far it's taken us.
Carlo: Thanks, Mrs. B. That makes me feel a little better.
Ruth: Any time, dear.
Birthday time for Magnus! And Abbie too, so they can continue dating and whatnot.
His Aunt Lusa and Cousin Victoria were invited, of course. Not sure where Andre was. Probably off playing in the sprinkler, I suppose. x3
Magnus: Where does she get off, stealing my birthday cake like that? I'm a grown man now, I have certain rights! RIGHTS, I TELL YOU!
Lusa: *drags him away* Now now, Magnus, you can spare a piece for your cousin, can't you?
Magnus: I suppose... if I must.
Victoria: ...Justice.
Anyway, Magnus's fifth and final trait is neat, making him a neurotic but brave virtuoso who is both neat and unlucky. His LTW is Hit Movie Composer.
Promptly after aging up, Magnus proceeded to make out with his girlfriend in front of his entire family. No one seemed to particularly notice or care.
Magnus: Abbie, I've loved you since the first day I met you at school. I'd like nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you. So... will you marry me?
Abbie: *squeals* Of course I will!
Abbie: Oh my god, it's beautiful! I love you so much, Magnus.
Magnus: I love you too, Abbie.
Anastasia was happy for Magnus, but she couldn't help but feel a little jealous that her little brother had found what she'd always wanted so quickly. She didn't even know where she stood with Carlo. It didn't seem fair.
Magnus and Abbie moved out pretty much right away. I'll miss you, buddy. D:
Carlo: Hey, Ana. Is there somewhere we could go to talk? Just you and me?
Anastasia: Oh, okay. We could just talk out here, I think pretty much everyone else is inside saying their goodbyes to Magnus.
Anastasia: So what's on your mind?
Carlo: Well, I've been talking with your mom lately.
Anastasia: Oh? What about?
Carlo: What, can't a guy have a conversation or two with his girlfriend's mother?
Anastasia: Well yeah, I guess so. Sorry, go on.
Carlo: Anyway, she helped me realize something. I've been stupid about us, Ana. I'm not always the greatest at letting you know how I feel. I know I'm not ready for marriage or anything, and I don't know if I ever will be. But I do know that I love you, and I never want to lose you.
Anastasia: That's more than enough for me right now. You don't know how happy I am to hear you say those words, Carlo... I love you too. So much.
Carlo: I don't know why you do, I don't deserve it. I just wish I'd said it sooner.
Anastasia: Well, better late than never.
Carlo: Yeah, I guess that's true.
♥
Nero had his birthday in the middle of one of his shows because I'm a neglectful sim goddess. Sorry Nero. Also, dogs are allowed into concert halls apparently?
Not bad, not bad at all. <3
His first act as a fully-grown adult?
Nero: WHAT THE HELL, IS SOMETHING DYING IN HERE? I WAS ABOUT TO SAY YOU SOUND LIKE A WOUNDED OX, BUT THEN I REALIZED HOW OFFENSIVE THAT WOULD BE TO OXES EVERYWHERE. GET OFF THE STAGE, BRO.
You stay classy, Nero Bifrost.
Back at home, Anastasia found out she's expecting again.
Carlo seemed pretty stoked when he found out. Or possibly terrified. With the face he's making I suppose it could be either one.
In other news, Cornflower found a new pet! His name's Nibbles.
Cornflower: Shall I sing you a song, Mister Nibbles? Yes? Okay! ♪ ♫ Oh Nibbles, you love your kibbles, you don't care for riddles, hmm hhmmm hmm somthing about... dribbles? ♫ ♪ Sorry Nibbles, I'm afraid my songwriting is rusty.
In other other news, Sienna is the cutest little thing. :3
Also, Ruth had her birthday and became an adorable old lady. :3
Not to be outdone, Sienna decided to have her birthday as well.
She gained ambitious for her third trait, making her an artistic and ambitious athlete.
Anastasia: And so, the pink kitty lived happily ever after with all her pink animal friends. The end. Now get some sleep, because you might get to meet your little brother or sister tomorrow! Okay?
Sienna: Ugh, okaaay.
Anastasia: Goodnight sweetheart, I love you.
Sienna: 'Night mommy, I love you too.
I see you back there Billy, casually photobombing through the lamp. XD
Baby time! Man, right on schedule.
Meet Ochre Bifrost, who is both excitable and clumsy. He likes indie music, egg rolls, and hot pink. Jesus, I think this family has been permanently cursed with Pumpkin's blue hair. .__. Not that I mind, but I guess I kind of expected it to be Cornflower's blue hair instead, haha.
Also, gnomes! Their names are Vivek and Nathaneal, and they seem like real cool dudes.
Ruth: So how was your day, dear?
Nero: Oh, not too bad. I went exploring in the mausoleum again and was thoroughly traumatized for a second time. Yours?
Nero's been trying to make two ghost friends, as required of the third generation heir. It isn't going so well.
And, since this generation is all about being treated like royalty, Anastasia and Carlo both went out and got crown tattoos.
Sienna brought home a friend from school who, judging by the hair, is most definitely a relative of the family. A rather grumpy one, I might add.
Which might explain why Sienna preferred playing by herself.
The next morning, Anastasia discovered she was pregnant again. Carlo seemed a lot more excited this time around.
Sienna: Wait, so you're gonna have another one? Didn't you like, just have one?
Anastasia: *chuckles* You're awfully inquisitive this evening. Yes, but this is the last one. No more little brothers or sisters after this one, I promise.
Sienna: Do you pinky swear?
Anastasia: I pinky swear.
Aaaand this is where I leave you. Next time:
• One more baby
• Loads more birthdays
• I dunno what else because I need to play more
As always, thanks for reading! ♥
