On a Hot Summer's Day

It's been a few days since I've filled my queue, but I have a minute between Halloween and multiple children's birthday parties, so I'll do my best!

Brooks, like a good boy, is up bright and early to deliver the newspaper...along with a couple of notifications! Yay!! Another wedding in the works! Unfortunately, I suspect I won't be on rotation for it, but don't worry, as with Redwood Harbor, I plan to take some posed pictures for an album!

Jasmine was up before Shorty of course so she had a little fun before taking care of Ephraim. It's a weekend so everyone is home...well, off of work.

I guess Story Progression didn't take my que when naming the Garrett's new LO. Jill, Joe, Blake?? One of these things is not like the other! Oh well, it's a solid name. And I try to stay away from renaming babies born to SP unless I absolutely need to for keeping my sims straight. I may be alone in this, but my gameplay feels more immersive to me the less I interfere.

With Shorty still asleep and Jasmine again in need of some cheering up, it was time to fulfill at least one small want of hers. Take Ephraim and Brooks for a walk!

It was super cute, but it didn't take long before everyone was all sweaty and miserable. It is summer after all, and I do have my tempest settings set to a sub-tropical climate for St. Bernie!

Oh no! And Ivy is expecting their child too! I really hope this doesn't turn into another weird Korey and Angela situation where Freddie starts hooking up with all of her friends!

January 18 – Part 4

The spell worked. Once at the hospital, James handed Jillian over to the hospital staff and they rushed her into the ER. To his surprise, his sister-in-law Annalise was on duty. He didn't even know she worked at this hospital. He thought it was at another one, granted he hasn't paid much attention to what she does, unless it involves his wife.

He sits down on a couch in one of the waiting areas, feeling physically drained but not wanting to show it. He knows he's reached his limit with his magic for a good forty eight hours.

"I really shouldn't be telling you this, you're not her family member." Annalise tells him after she had helped stabilize Jillian, she was now being prepped for an emergency C-section, which would be handled by her OB-GYN- Dr. Goto. Annalise agreed to scrub in and help if needed. 

"I just want to know if they're alive, Annalise. I'm not asking for all the dirty details." James tells her, rolling his eyes. 

"Jillian is stable though unconscious, the baby is still in distress. They're prepping her for an emergency C-Section as we speak." Annalise tells him, wondering why he even cares. It stuns her that James is the one who brought the pregnant woman in. "It's a good thing you got her here when you did because if you hadn't, both of them wouldn't have made it." She leaves it at that and leaves to go get ready for the surgery. 

James sits there, digesting that news for a few moments. He pulls out his phone, seeing he has service once again. He calls his spy to get the number of Dakota. The phone conversation with Dakota goes as well to be expected and it isn't long before he and Joey are at the hospital.

Dakota wants to see Jillian, to apologize for blowing up at her but he's told that even though he's the father of the child, it's best he not be in the operating room. Dr. Goto is honest with him and tells him he isn't totally sure how it's going to go. Jillian is stable but has remained unconscious and the baby is in distress. Dakota is a ball of worry and blaming himself as James approaches him.

"Umm...thank you for....getting them here." Dakota tells him. It feels heavy coming out of his mouth. He doesn't trust the older warlock and his fight with Jillian was about her not telling him about James' visit but James had gotten Jillian to the hospital. 

James nods, feeling out of place. This isn't his usual role in the grand scheme of things.

"I don't understand what she was doing out in that weather to start with." James voices. In the middle of the night, on the outskirts of town, in the middle of winter no less -is not where you usually find a eight month pregnant woman. 

"We had a fight. About you actually." Dakota admits, it takes a lot for him not to just blame James. He kind of started it but he didn't make Jillian not tell Dakota and he didn't make Dakota yell at her instead of talking to her about it. 

James raises an eyebrow and he thinks back to what his little spy told him. So Dakota found out. Hmm. He didn't give Jillian the book to cause problems - for once - he did it because he knew she'd love it and it's rare to find someone who enjoys books like he does.

"You flew off the handle at her, didn't you?" James asks though he knows the answer. Dakota kind of reminds him of himself when he was younger. He can tell the young man has a temper. James still has one, when he was younger he let it control him at times. He's learned to manage it better with age. 

Dakota crosses his arms "Excuse me?" He asks. How in the world did James know that?

"She's eight month pregnant. Pregnancy Hormones and someone getting in your face don't mesh well." He tells the man beside him. He pinches the bridge of his nose in aggravation. Young people. "Next time, don't let her leave in the middle of the night, okay? I can't be around all the time."

And with that, James leaves the hospital. Dakota stood there, wanting to punch something or someone. He didn't understand where James of all people got off on trying to call him out on his behavior when Jillian is the one who kept something from him. But that doesn't matter right now. He still loves her and he's worried about her and his son.

Garrett and Denise arrive at the hospital shortly after Dakota's chat with James, Andrew is out of town for his first game with his team. They sit in the waiting room with himself and Joey, waiting for news. Denise goes to the Hospital Chapel for a bit to pray for her daughter and grandson. It seems like time stands still. Naturally Garrett asks questions and Dakota fills him in the best he can without fully getting into his fight with Jillian. He doesn't need her Dad trying to rip his face off in the waiting room of the Hospital. Though Garrett is usually one of the most calm people you'll meet, when it comes to his kids, it's a different story.

Annalise comes out right after Mr. and Mrs. Garrett go to get some coffee.

"How are they?" Dakota asks her. 

"It was close but Jillian and the baby made it through. The baby is doing quite well to be honest now that he's born, we will still want to keep him for a few days for observation." Annalise tells the men. If she had to guess, she'd say the baby has a magical blood coursing through his tiny veins and it's helping him survive. 

"Jillian?" Joey asks as he watches his brother thinking about what he's been told. 

"She is slowly waking up from anesthesia. Given that she was unconscious before we even placed her under, it may be a slow process. We'll be keeping her for a bit, she needs to recover from the operation and she lost quite a bit of blood during it as well." Annalise tells them.

"Can I see my son?" Dakota asks. 

"Of course, only two at a time. He's in the nursery upstairs." Annalise tells the new father. She's sure he didn't picture his son's birth going like this. 

"When can we see Jillian?" Joey asks, he's grown pretty fond of Jillian and is worried about her, as well as his nephew. He's just trying to be strong for his little brother and not think of himself during all this.

"Once she's in a room, you can see her. One at a time please." Annalise says before going to check on another patient.

By the time Dakota gets upstairs to the nursery, Jillian's parents have beat him up there somehow.

"Oh honey, our first grandbaby! Isn't he precious??" Denise asks, carefully holding the newborn up for her husband to see. 

"He sure is and to think our little Jilly Bean wanted to include her Dad in his name." Garrett boosts proudly. Dakota decides to let them have their moment before he swoops in and holds his son for the first time.

"Slade Garrett Laws. Has quite the ring to it." Denise says, cradling the little boy to her. She just prays her little girl gets to hold him soon.

Sunburn City

It's Leisure Day and it looks like it's Guy's turn to tend the dogs...after unclogging the toilet of course! Who is that with the paper? Aww.. it's Milo, the tiniest of the Summersville pups!

Bella and Guy spent some time playing with Milo and the second of their smaller dogs, Joy, before heading off to the beach for the huge Leisure Day Party they've planned!

Op! Does this mean Ivy has finally given up on making things work with Freddie?

Here we are! All the guests are arriving and though none of the pregnancy meshes are working for swimwear apparently (probably because of my altered aging and 15 day long pregnancies) There are SEVERAL pregnant Sims here. Bella, Remi, Simili and Wanda...maybe not Wanda...did she give birth already? I'll have to check back in my own posts. The baby wave is so out of control in this town I can't keep track!

Guy was immediately playing good host making drinks at the bar.

Honestly, it looks to be a success! Everyone is having a chill time at the beach, no typical chaos in sight.

Bella got to work toasting some marshmallows...You're starting to look a little crispy yourself Bella! Watch out and don't get overheated or anything with that baby you're expecting!

Wow...so we're a celebrity now? I guess that would explain the invasion of personal bubble with those paparazzi snapping pics!

Oh Bella...Girl, that looks so painful! Youch!

Aaand Guy's still over by the bar getting sloshed...Tell me you didn't drink ALL the drinks you made by yourself! Facepalm...

OMG! The party must have sent Simili into labor! Congrats you two!

Blake Garrett has aged up! And Jennifer??? Uh...thanks for the info, I'll let you in on a little secret...I already knew that! LOL!

The Grant Legacy - Generation 2 - The Second Act - Part 2

The Ambrose Household - Brindleton Bay

After Garrett returned from rehab and with the impending birth of their first grandchild, Denise and Garrett decided to move the family to Brindleton Bay to be closer to Jillian. Even though Garrett has returned to his job as a Freelance Article Writer, Denise has decided to keep her job. It fills her with a sense of fulfilment she was missing, though she still loves being a Mother. Garrett attends weekly AA meetings and has be doing well since his time at rehab. He knows what he stands to lose, especially with his family expanding soon.

Things were shaky between the couple at first when Garrett returned home but the two seem to be stronger than ever now. They are even working on buying the house they now live in. The only downside is, they didn't know who the house used to belong to years ago. Dakota had quite the reaction when he and Jillian pulled up to Vera's old house to help Jillian's parents and brother move in.

Andrew reached his young adult years and graduated high school early with a offer to join the Athletic career due to his accomplishments in high school. He jumped at the chance and now works out in his room everyday staring at posters of his celebrity crush. He knows he'll never meet her but that doesn't stop him from dreaming. He's excited to be an Uncle soon and his trying to step out into the dating world for the first time, since he focused mostly on sports in school.

The Watson Household - Hendford-on-Bagley

Rashidah has also entered the young adult world, graduating from high school with straight A's. She had scholarship offers but declined them in order to help her Mom and siblings with the family farm. This has sadden her Mom, Rahmi, greatly. She feels her daughter is giving up her chance at not only further education but the college experience to help her. She will admit without her ex -husband Thomas there, it's been harder to take care of everything but that doesn't mean one of her children should have to give up their youth to help. Rashidah doesn't see it that way and tells her Mom she can still have experiences without going to college. She's gotten a babysitting job and babysits little Este Vatore, as she offered to Vera months ago, every now and then when Caleb and Vera want to go out for a date.

Imran has become a teenager, which has allowed him to help out more around the farm. His Mom reminds him that his homework comes first and he's been trying his best to follow that. He and Maira still go spend time with their Father, Thomas, who now lives in Chestnut Ridge. Their father is renting a small farm there, trying to start his life over.

Rahmi hasn't dipped her toe back into the dating world just yet but she has been getting closer to Ukupanipo Hekekia as a friend. She knows Vera introduced them months ago in hopes they would fall for each other but it may not happen, time will tell.

The Frenz Household - Henford-on-Bagley

Dominic and Zoe have been married little over a year now and despite their trying, they have failed to conceive a child. They decided to go to a reproductive specialist and learned Dominic's sperm count is low. It's not impossible, just more difficult, to have a baby. They are considering adoption if they don't get pregnant within the next year.

Zoe is keeping busy helping Vera run the Vet clinic. She enjoys her job and her patients very much. Dominic is also enjoying his job as a Wildlife Enthusiast in the Conservationist career. He has a passion for nature and animals, he felt the career fits him perfectly.

The Blake Household - Forgotten Hollow

Last month, Annalise finally let Lurch sweet talk her into letting him move back in as her butler. It seems a bit odd, since they are also courting but she admits - it is nice to have him around again. Lurch has even let the "M" word slip through his lips recently which is a bit scary for Annalise. Her last marriage ended terribly, though oddly she has found herself providing medical advice to her ex-husband, Asa. The two have reached a understanding with each other, though neither of them would call it anything beyond that.

Annalise has been promoted to the Chief of Staff at the hospital she works at with Joey Gates. It's a huge honor for her, despite some of the arguments that a vampire shouldn't be in such a role. Annalise realizes there will also be opposition against her in the medical field, she has stopped worrying about it. She continues to bond and train with her sister, Liberty.

Lurch is happy to be with his Annalise again, though he's grateful to Lilith Vatore and Jackson Kumar for the time he spent as their butler. He's even become friends with Jackson, that friendship has led him to ask Jackson certain questions when it comes to being turned into a vampire. Annalise is strictly against turning Lurch but can't she see he wants to be with her forever?

TV Show Review: Wolf Pack

A teenage boy and girl get their lives changed forever when a California wildfire awakens a terrifying supernatural creature. As the full moon rises, all teens come together to unravel the secret that connects them.

Extremely Lacklustre but Still Binge-worthy

As a huge Teen Wolf lover, watching Wolf Pack felt extremely nostalgic. It wasn't just because it's a werewolf TV show or another one of Jeff Davis's works. It's also because of the soundtrack choices. However, shockingly enough, I did not expect to enjoy this TV show as much as I did. In fact, I was skeptical because of its "legacy".

So yeah, don't go into Wolf Pack expecting Teen Wolf and then maybe, or most probably, you will enjoy this TV show the way it is.

Wolf Pack is a short TV show with only 8 episodes. The show started out with two bangs, the fire and the bites. And these two bangs became the constant question marks to these 8 episodes. Each episode was filled with so much suspense and not much was being answered. You really only get your answers in the last two episodes and even so, there remained a question unanswered, who was the "No Caller ID".

Now, lets discuss the whole storyline of Wolf Pack. It really is not the most interesting werewolf storyline out there. Our werewolves are as confused as us watchers. And despite the show's title, the pack was just not packing 90% of the time. Additionally, there is a serious lack of action, it's almost annoying to not see our werewolves in action at all. And I really would have liked watching more of the kids rather than the adults... Ultimately, the binge factor of this TV show was the mystery. Who started it? Why was it started? How did it happen? Were they chosen specifically, because wasn't Austin attacked first yet how come he survived unscathed (physically, not mentally)?

As a first season, this was acceptable but if this style continues on to a next season, then I have more complains.

I understand due to the strike, there will not be any news of Wolf Pack's future, not until the studios do the right thing and give the actors and writers what they deserve. And as much as I want a future for this show, the studios need to do the right thing more. I cannot do anything because I am not in either community so I will just hope for the best.

Which brings me to, if/when the best happens, please don't make the father a werewolf or them a couple. I don't like that possible future aspect at all, not one bit. You know what? I also do not like the possibility of her being part of the "good team"; right from episode one, she has been giving me villain vibes. I will not name who she is but I believe I made it obvious enough.

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.5/5)

P.S.: I watched this show for Harlan and Cyrus (these two have extremely sick chemistry, it's maddening) so here's to me hoping there's a bright future for them.
