#beikon plays the sims

Of course, Hermia couldn't skip the most annoying part of becoming a new parent. Especially since she was the head of the Capps, she had to announce the birth of her children to everyone in the family. She tried to keep it as brief as possible and excused herself with needing to change diapers when awkward questions started popping up.

Ophelia absolutely adored her babies and couldn't help being a little jealous of Hermia getting to carry them. Not that anyone said they have to stop at just the twins, but for now she wanted to see how capable are there of being moms.

Kristen stayed with Lawrence for a while, feeling guilty about leaving Howard with this wacky family. Thankfully, the guests were already gone by the time she returned and the party was over.

Completely unapologetic Daniel immediately jumped at Kristen with accusations, blaming her for causing a scene in front of Angela and embarrassing him.

Daniel: I had to apologize to them for this chaos and calm them down! They were so distressed! And what about little Howie? You just left for hours without any explanation!

Kristen: Oh, so now you remember you have a son, but still expect me to do the whole parenting? Don't think putting the damn clothes on makes it so that I magically forget about what you've done.

Kristen: Don't even THINK about getting anywhere near me or the bed tonight. You're sleeping on the sofa and tomorrow I decide what to do with you.

Daniel: This is so cruel! Those were old mistakes and I've become a better person!

Kristen: Cry me a river. It's incredible how little I care about you right now. Especially when you call cheating on your wife, getting a woman pregnant, abandoning her with the child and then lying about me for years "old mistakes".

With Komei taking care of the house and kids, Lola could give her everything at work and returned with big promotion on the first day of the week. Only one more before claiming the Mayor of Strangetown's office (not Sim City).

She was oblivious to Komei's desires of working again, so she just enjoyed the idea of having a househusband greeting her with a dinner every day.

He was still fully on board with supporting her goals. Even if he wanted to have a job himself, the thought of being married to the Mayor was also exciting.

[beikonsims]

Despite Komei's best intentions, the twins didn't seem to get 100% along even as toddlers. Venus was clingy and a little more dominant over her sister, always being the one to initiate interactions.

They shared the toys just fine, so that their dad didn't have to watch them constantly. Even if Venus had a habit of eating their dolls.

Whatever happened between them, Komei was absolutely furious with Tycho and constantly kept wishing harm upon this teenager. Totally normal things to think about for your wife's nephew.

Angela shared the news about her pregnancy with Romeo once she finally returned from work. Before he could gasp and clutch his pearls at the thought of his wife working in this state, she told him she had a fantastic first day and nothing he'd say could make her feel bad about it.

Isabella was also very happy about the next great-grandchildren on the way. Romeo might've been a disappointment, but at least his wife was fulfilling old grandma's dreams of filling the villa with joy.

She also tried to say something about Angela's decision to work after finding out about pregnancy, but Angela very politely made it clear she will do whatever she wants and as much as she appreciated Isabella's concerns, she knew what she was doing.

Miranda was still anxious about being in a relationship with Dirk. She loved him and didn't want to hurt him, but the idea of commitment was still terrifying.

To keep herself occupied, she decided to also apply for a job. Originally she was going for business to uphold the Capp tradition, but she really wanted to go back to her slacker career instead.

[beikonsims]

Circe's return with a promotion was only a matter of time, so the boys were trying to kill it with mind-sharpening games.

As expected, Circe returned with her final promotion that day - as seen on TV. She was now in charge of one of the biggest hospitals in Sim City and her name was on lips of everyone in the field of science, for better or for worse.

Too bad Erik decided it was the right time to make a move on Loki and started flirting with his creator just as Circe entered the house. Instead of a celebratory party, she received a case of infidelity. Right in front of Ludvig as well.

After a tiresome day, the two remembered about their trip and wanted to see if they still remember how to dance Hula. They were clumsy at first, but ended up having a lot of fun.

So much, in fact, that they ended up making out on the sofa just remembering the magical atmosphere of the Witch Doctor's hut.

Sadly, it didn't last very long when Hermia called and announced she'd like to visit her brother soon. Mercutio figured they might as well have a food break while Tybalt was stuck in a phone call with his sister for an hour.

[beikonsims]

Mercutio was still a family Sim deep down and sometimes caught himself daydreaming about adopting a child with Tybalt. He just wasn't sure if the two of them would be able to raise a functional person with their own traumas.

Some unexpected visitors showed up and even though Mercutio didn't know either of them, he recognized a popular local DJ and couldn't help himself inviting the two inside.

The two used Mercutio's hospitality to rummage through the fridge for free snacks and joined him for the midday drama on TV. He really had no idea why those guys showed up for, but felt it would be rude to kick them out.

That is, until Blake started to ramble about money and Mercutio's fight-or-flight response activated. He might've been overly friendly, but not stupid.

Mercutio: I think you might want to leave. My husband is a lawyer and I'm not afraid to use him.

Back to the mundane life, where the husbands had to take care of their dog like he was their own child. Neither of them could have a pet growing up, cause their elders didn't believe they'd be able to properly handle one. Wouldn't they be surprised now...

Mercutio had to deal with nagging phone calls from his family. Romeo was especially frustrated and really wanted to talk with his brother after his absence. Mercutio really wasn't looking forward to being dragged back into family drama.

[beikonsims]

Mercutio couldn't go to bed without having a nice meal in his own home. It didn't matter what time it is, he wouldn't be able to fall asleep without being full and happy.

By the time he got to bed, Tybalt was already sound asleep. He just tried sneaking quietly under the duvet, hoping not to wake his tired husband up with any potential poots.

Back at home, Hermia was brutally reminded why Douglas needs to retire asap and shouldn't be left in charge of any household. While Ophelia was occupied with her books, he left an absolute mess in the kitchen - including baby Charlotte on the floor!

Hermia didn't want to make a scene and dramatically fire him. She spared a nice sum as his final payment and helped him finally retire - just like her grandfather did for Ian few years before.

It was too late to look for another butler, so the wives spent the rest of the evening relaxing with a game of chess and ignoring the ghostly moans outside their window.

With the week at the Capp manor over, it's time for everyone's favourite Tybalt and Mercutio, who are still away for their honeymoon.

Bottom had to face the harsh truth of being unable to handle being a freelance musician and decided to try working in the industry with proper management. Their job position as a "Serious Musician" felt fitting to make sure everyone knows they're taking this very seriously...

They still weren't happy about "selling out" and not being able to plan out their work however they like, but they needed to at least gain some experience as a professional. Jill couldn't judge them, since she dreamed of nothing more than skipping her work days.

Meanwhile, Stella was doing very well in her job. While her roommates were struggling with their careers, she was aiming for the top almost effortlessly.

[beikonsims]

In a small community housing in Strangetown, Jill and Bottom rented a nice house to call their own. Even if they still had the landlord looming over their heads. It was cheaper than buying a whole house and they definitely needed to save up some money after college.

Jill wasn't wasting any time and got a job as a mixologist in a local diner. She wasn't sure if that's exactly the career path she wants to spend her life on, but she enjoyed cooking and might as well start with something.

Bottom focused on their freelance music for now. They didn't see themselves working in a regular job and their music was making some decent bucks anyway. Even if maintaining all the equipment also required money.

Johnny expected some people to raise eyebrows at his little girl looking like a regular Sim, but he didn't care about that. He knew with every fiber of his being it's his child and was ready to throw hands at anyone making stupid comments about her or Lilith.

Lilith expected Jenny to be a little more enthusiastic about her grandchild, but instead got a silent treatment the whole day. She was still well-fed and allowed to rest, but it definitely felt awkward and Lilith figured out it might have something to do with Jaiden not being green. In truth, Jenny was more upset about Jamie turning into a "bad boy" under Lilith's influence and ended up blaming the poor girl for her son's choices.

Back at home, Tybalt revealed to his husband the idea of having a kid together. He actually bought the medicine for the deed, but expected Mercutio to need some time to decide if they actually want to go this route. If anything they could always re-sell it, but Mercutio wanted nothing more than having a full family with his lovely idiot.

They still had to determine who would be the "guinea pig" and take it for the team to try carrying the baby. The good old game of Rock Paper Scissors did the trick. Mercutio lost, but a promise is a promise.

Mercutio: You're lucky you're handsome and I love you or I'd shove that bottle up your ass-

Tybalt: It wouldn't work. It's for oral administration, not anal.

Mercutio: You never know if you don't try, smartass.

The two were sceptical about the medicine working out, but it didn't matter. They still had plenty of fun bickering and ending the week with another nice woohoo.

While they work for results until the next rotation, it's the turn for the Contrary Vandermorgan round just a few houses away.

Babies. Babies everywhere.
