The Parvenu Legacy: 1.3
Previously: Yuuta took care of the family before he aged into an adult. Zabby began her quest to get fit. The Parvenu's went on an outing and Waldo and Vesper grew up through many stages. And lastly, Zabby became pregnant with her fifth and final child.
Gage knew he was having one of those days. He had a more than slightly demanding wife, and he just walked out of a long day of work to witness the death of one of his co-workers.
Death: "I'll be coming for you too soon. Don't you worry your pretty little head."
Gage: "Great. Just what I need, more fun to look forward to."
Xerxes was very excited about the new baby. He hoped it was the little girl Mommy always wanted.
Xerxes: "Mom! I think I just heard it move!"
Zabby: "I appreciate the affection, but this is a little awkward, can we hurry this up?"
Vesper liked to wear his formal attire whenever possible. He loved to change into it after a bath.
Vesper: "What? I like to dress nicely. I must dress to impress."
Zabby and her motivational speeches about being a valuable member of society paid off.
Zabby uses her maternity time to challenge yet more individuals to ranked chess matches. Gage also bought her a cute new maternity outfit after some strong hinting on her part.
In what seemed like no time, it was time for the baby to come. She had enough of watermelon. She craved them so badly, and she ate far too many. Yuuta was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and had to witness the water breaking.
Xerxes didn't panic though. He quickly rushed his mother to the hospital since Gage wasn't at home.
Xerxes: "Mom? Are you ready for this? Are you nervous?"
Zabby: "This is the fifth one. This is so easy. I am totally ready. Let's go!"
And thus, the fifth child was born.
After many long years, it was time for Yuuta to become a man. He helped raise more than his fair share of children, but it was almost time for him to start a family on his own.
Well, he was having second thoughts about the family. Watching his Mom and Dad as he was growing up made him not really want a family of his own. It seemed that women were far more trouble that he cared for.
Despite his fears, he knew that regardless it was the next step in life and he would have to make it. He hadn't had much luck so far, so he went for a trip downtown to see if he could find someone now that he was older and wiser.
Yuuta: "You guys packed this big lunch, you don't mind if I have a bit right? My name is Yuuta Parvenu by the way-- Nice to meet you!"
Elderly Couple: *Evil Glare*
Living with Zabby, a few of her personality qwircks rubbed off on him.
Yuuta didn't beat around the bush.
Yuuta: "I am looking for love. Are you interested?"
Girl: "You can love me all you want baby~"
And by didn't beat around the bush, he really got straight to the point of the issue.
Yuuta: "And by love, I mean I am looking for marriage."
Girl: "Oh... well, I just think I saw my boyfriend over there. Gotta go!"
Yuuta: "Wait! I thought this could work! Come back!!"
Yuuta could see where he wasn't wanted. After some intense power strutting, Yuuta stumbled upon quite a looker.
Yuuta: "Hey baby, I haven't seen you before. I'm in the market for a bride. You a taker?"
Girl: "You don't even know my name, and you want to get married?"
Yuuta: "Names don't matter, unless your last name is Parvenu which, by coincidence, mine is. Does that change your mind?"
Obviously, she is pleased. Everyone wants to be a Parvenu in this town.
Obviously she is very pleased. Yuuta, after many unsuccessful attempts, found someone he thinks he could tolerate being with despite his fear of commitment.
Yuuta: "I will call you anything you want me to call you."
Girlfriend: "You can call me anything you want dear."
Back at the house, Vesper was in a very heated debate with ... himself.
He hates losing an argument. When the argument is against yourself the chances of winning are slim to none.
He lost.
Vesper: "CURSES. FOILED AGAIN."
With much sadness in her heart, Zabby takes one last look at her beautiful youthful face. She had five children, and still was as fit as ever. But it was time for her birthday...
Zabby: "You've done well, self. We can age gracefully. You are ready for this!"
Zabby had a birthday bash. It was the talk of the entire town. Everyone longed to be invited, but only a few were. Zabbby did notice a few guests who she certainly did not invite.
Zabby was happy this many people gathered to celebrate her life. She was a little more than shocked when Yuuta brought home his serious girlfriend. Once her style is changed a bit, she thinks she can approve.
Agnes came over. She had already hit that age long ago (alone) so she knew about what Zabby would be going through.
Agnes: "Girl, you don't know what is about to happen to you."
But the party continued despite Agnes being a downer. Yuuta was the most cheerful of all.
Zabby: "Oh boy that just got stiff."
Zabby still wasn't really sure what to make of this transformation.
Zabby: "I still look good, right?"
Party: "Oh yes!"
Zabby grew old, but she grew old in style.
V
Xerxes made it downstairs from taking care of the baby. He was a party animal, so as soon as he arrived the party really got started. Zabby showed him a few moves, and he showed her a few of his own.
The future Ms. Yuuta Parvenu thought that Vesper's lady romancing techniques were not up to par.
Vesper: "I have a bug collection. Want to see my ticks?"
Girl: "Uhhhhhhhh...."
Ms. Parvenu: (What is that kid THINKING?!)
The blue-eyed cheering section lined up for yet another birthday celebration. Today is the day that Vesper finally becomes a Teenager.
Once Mom joins in, the men in the family get far less enthused.
Zabby: "Let me show you how it's done boys."
Vesper grew up to be a bit cheeky. What can you expect with Zabby as a mother?
Vesper: "I think I kind of like this, heh heh. Watch out world, here I come!"
Real men like pink, and Vesper is no exception. He's a friendly, flirty, party animal with a side of virtuoso. All he needs is some liquor, a party, and a guitar and he's all set.
Shortly after, it was time for Gage to also age into elder hood. He was about as enthused as Zabby.
Gage: "Maybe I can retire soon ... But then again, I don't think Zab would like living on just a pension." (sigh)
Gage was happy at least his boy came to celebrate with him.
Vesper: "Dad you got be out of bed for this? I'm tired from working out all day."
Gage: "Son, we wanted you to be a girl and yet we love and tolerate you as a boy so the least you can do is fake interest in your father."
In the crib, the fifth and final child of Zabby screams from neglect. Upton, the last boy, despite all watermelon attempts, is a fierce screamer. Waldo is a heavy sleeper, so he got shifted with sharing the baby room.
Upton: "WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Waldo: (zzZzzzZzzzzz)
Over breakfast, Gage discussed the idea of retirement. Like he imagined, Zabby was not keen on the idea.
Gage: "Zabby, honey, please think about it. I'm getting old and it's hard to do all the things a young man can do.."
Zabby: "I'm not talking to you."
Zabby made her thoughts about retirement clear, so he decided to take up fishing so he could advance in his career.
Gage: "This is also nice because Z would never come here. Ah, peace at least."
Upton was crying, and all three of the boys wanted to get to him at the same time.
Waldo: "I'm going first. It's my room after-all."
Xerxes: "Fine, whatever."
Vesper: "I actually just want to take a shower."
Vesper finally got his shower, and he still really likes to dress in formal clothing to walk around the house. Yuuta invited his lady back over.
Yuuta wasted no time in getting to the point. Marriage.
Yuuta: "Kitten, will you please marry me?"
Vesper and Waldo were completely oblivious to everything go on in the other room.
She said yes, and they went to celebrate their engagement the best way two young hot-blooded individuals can.
Yuuta: "Ohh hells yes!"
Randomly, and for no reason, Xerxes and Vesper decide to break dance in the living room. This is not at all awkward in their minds.
Zabby was still a little angry about the mentioning of retirement, so she had been making dinner purposely bad.
Gage: "This tastes like worms. She could have saved the worms, and I would have went fishing."
Vesper: "DAD! I'm trying to eat!"
Everyone disliked Upton. He was loud when he didn't get his way, which was quite often. Waldo didn't seem to mind him though.
For being a stay-over moocher, she was quite opinionated.
Ms. Yuuta Parvenu: "That kid isn't being raised right."
It was time to grow into adult responsibility. Xerxes took the plunge into adulthood and a new hair style.
Xerxes: "Hey Mom~ How do I look?"
Zabby: "I'm walking away now."
Xerxes: "Mom??"
Waldo brought home a very unfortunate looking girl from school. He could tell that this was already a bad idea.
Waldo: "Looking away... maybe she'll forget she was coming home with me?"
Xerxes developed the life-time want to become a heart breaker. His first in a long line of conquests was to be the former maid of the household.
Vesper was a unique character. Both of them were ridiculous together and it was entertaining.
Vesper: "Hey brother!"
Xerxes: "I see your funny face, and raise you a funnier face!"
Despite their differences, Zabby and Gage were still in love in their own special way. Zabby decided she didn't have to force Gage to work himself to death for her benefit... She had two grown boys who could do that now.
----------------------------------
I really hope the next update will be the last of Generation 1. I can't seem to get the mod to allow overstuffed homes to work and Yuuta needs to start having babies because his fiance isn't getting any younger, but we have too many people in the house. I have been considering moving them into a house and letting them start their family, but keep tabs on them by switching active households via the Story Mode Progression mod.
I forgot my card with all my information on it at home, and home is 2,000 miles away so I had to improvise a bit on names. We're flying home tomorrow, so I will get things back on track next update.
