#elucea glynnan

It took a bit of finagling to get everyone together (and make sure they wore the outfits Elucea wanted them to wear and be sure the infants stayed clean - no green clouds in photos please) But Elucea finally got her first family photo and she's beyond excited to FINALLY have one after never having any before her generation began (because well Daolong. Need I say more?)

And true to EA fashion everyone showed up and the party started at 3 AM the next day.

Absalom: I know that most of us in this family are Vamps but showing up nine hours late is a bit ridiculous. Elucea and the kids are in bed but you're all welcome to attack the leftovers in the fridge just keep the noise down.

Unfortunately although the house was quite large, with all the merriment being had in the kitchen and the kids and teens in attendance turning on the radios and tvs everyone else was woken up.

Hmm . . . Maybe Kelly is becoming more like Zuma and likes all the babies now? Or has she chosen Furian as her person?

Being the intense infant, Furian's emotions seem to be ALL over the place but Kelly always goes up to a screaming Furian and he's instantly happy. He also seems to be the only one that Kelly has let pet her (AND ISN'T IT JUST THE CUTEST INTERACTION!!!)

Absalom is really enjoying this no longer working thing. The happy moodlets caring for the infants continue to pile up and even with the negative stinky diaper moodlet he's never unhappy. Who knew being a dad could be so fulfilling.

He cuddles and talks to the babies autonomously. Even if he has a bunch of interactions queued up he drops all of it if any of the babies need the slightest bit of attention.

Absalom: How did I ever get so lucky little guppy? Having four of the most perfect children on this planet? The most amazing loving, nurturing fiance as their mother? This is the life I always dreamed of having, minus all your mom's fuzzy buddies of course *laughs* and it's even better than I could have ever hoped for, even with your Daddy in the picture too. I'm gonna confide in you and you can't tell anyone promise?

Finnbri coos and smiles at him, she seems to enjoy the conversation.

Absalom: Good. I'm going to hold you to that. I'm afraid Finny. I'm afraid I'm going to woohock it all up. Oh shi-eep, oh sheep, don't repeat that, your mom will kill me. You're trying to repeat more than your siblings, all of you have said your first word but mama seems to be the only one that understands any of you, but I think YOU are going to talk before any one else so don't repeat anything your Dadas say. I've messed up a lot already when it comes to your mom so we REALLY need to work better at making sure we don't teach you any adult words yet. Everything's been going so well, almost too good to be true really, I'm afraid that things are going to hit the fan. But I won't let it. And neither will your other Daddy. Maybe I'm just still so wound over the fact that no one has found Eclipse yet, it's like he's been deleted from the save. And your Papa Daolong is hiding your Uncle Ecinno, I know he is. I hope none of you ever learn of what happened but if I see them . . . just know it's not going to be pretty. Now no more negativity hmm? I hear your siblings waking so time for breakfast. Faelyn and Felynyrr don't seemed to like wake up time huh? Not like you my sunny little baby.

Absalom: When are you going to let us in Wolf? I should be in there with her!

Kristopher: I can't. I'm sorry. The Sixians are doing everything they can just to keep her under without actual sedation to protect her and the babies. And themselves. She attacked the surgeons before they could take control of her mind, one of them had their shoulder impaled by her horns. We don't need to add more strain on them with your emotions.

Kanaloa *looking through the window*: It doesn't seem like she's still in her Mer form.

Kristopher: One of the surgeons was able to force her into her human form once they were inside her mind, lessening the danger she posed to them or herself if she were to slip their control before they were done with the surgery to bring her children into the world. It's a lot easier to hold down a pair of human legs than it is a Mer's tail. Now, the first set of Twins are safely out. They were Breech, if not she would have given birth just fine naturally.

Absalom: First set? How is that possible?

Kristopher: Yes. Elucea has two uteri, medically called uterus didelphys. Both uteri held a set of twins. Did you not notice she had two openings?

Absalom: Of course I noticed! Kanaloa: Of course I noticed!

Absalom: I assumed it had something to do with her being more shark than mammal

Kanaloa: And I have two dicks so just made sense. Thought hers connected to one womb as normal for us.

Absalom: *looking at Kana incredulously* TWO?! How the WOOHOCK do I compete with that?!

Kanaloa: Deep sea mermaid, same as El *flashing his shark teeth* think Megalodon. *shrugs* But she kept going back to you so you must be doing something right

Watcher's Notes: Edit on 10/11/2024 to ask @abbysimsfun can you see into the future? Or have you become like Heather and hacked into my queue? Because this post has been in the queue 2 maybe 3 weeks now (as of this edit) waiting to go live on 10/24/2024 and then you had to make this comment ↓ that I saw today (again 10/11/2024)

on this → POST!!!!! Do you know that I literally knocked myself out of my chair literally doing this ↓ when I read it?!

AND COULDN'T SAY ANYTHING WITHOUT GIVING ANYTHING AWAY!!!!!!

Anyway hope you're having a fabulous day 👋 🧡 U!!

With the babies now infants and Elucea completely healed from the emergency C-section, Absalom and Kanaloa will have to return to work (even gods need to bring in the simoleons - just to appear mortal anyway).

During Elucea's captivity and subsequent hiding out, Kanaloa became an active member in the military, no longer a reservist, so that he would be able to use their resources to look for El (not that it did him any good clearly) and is now locked into a contract to stay until the start of the new year. At that time he'll be able to decide to renew the contract, become a reservist again, or leave the military altogether. He was just glad that they had allowed him to stay home for as long as they had to care for El and his children during their first few days. Absalom didn't have the same problems being a judge only working a couple days a week but the long hours of those days were going to wear on him pretty fast. He was almost wondering if it was time for a career change. Maybe something part-time so he could spend more time with his family, preferably during the day so he could remain the primary care-giver at night while Elucea got some sleep. While the men were at work fretting about what was going on at home, Elucea played with her little school and worked on their milestones. She was forced to have her phone nearby and ready to put on speakerphone because both fathers called at every opportunity to talk to her and listen to the children babble.

Most of the time The babies never made it into a crib when they were tired but Zuma never seemed to mind, curling up with each infant just as they fell asleep. Whisper and the cats didn't seem to like the babies after they aged up (maybe because they were all small pets) and usually hung out with all the goats.

Trying to care for the Ranch and the children was getting harder and harder by the day. Her pets were feeling neglected, the barn animals were all threatening to leave, and the crops sorely needed harvesting. Elucea had taken to bringing the infants outside with her to work on their milestones in between her work tasks and let them play in the dirt of the garden (the goats and sheep did not seem to mind this and loved on them just as much as Zuma), and instead of napping when all of the children were napping (which very rarely happened as it was), she had started taking a baby monitor out with her to try to rush through a couple things before running back in to check on them or care for them if they set off the monitor. It was one such day that Elucea missed Furian meeting the Pull to Stand milestone because she passed out right before it happened.

Elucea tried to work on her knitting aspiration as much as she could but there just weren't enough hours in the day and there were too many nights that the men came home to find her passed out on the couch with the infants asleep in random places around the house (all of their needs had been met first though). They had had many conversations wondering how on Earth Elucea had thought she could do this without help. True she was only planning on two when she had run out on them but even now she refused to hire a nanny even for just one day a week and fired the one they had hired for her behind her back. Tera tried to come by and help as promised but with Eunice and Ellena both having given birth again themselves she never actually made it by.

When they were home Abs and Kan were the first to jump at every sound the children made and tried to take care of all their needs before Elucea could. Obviously they couldn't do everything before another needed attention but at least they were able to take some of the burden off of El who thought she had to do EVERYTHING for them. They wondered if she tried putting everything on herself to make up for the lack of care she got from Daolong and didn't think she could sustain this for too much longer.

Life has gotten hectic but Elucea makes sure she takes pictures at every opportunity to fill up the walls with family photos. She'll have to schedule a family portrait some time soon before the babies age up to toddlers.

Watcher's notes: I love watching these two with the babies!!! And the fact that they take care of the other's children without any issue (shown is Abs with Felynyrr and Kan is holding Furian after he had a blowout). I've had other households in previous saves where though I had the sims choose the adopt as dependent option (or whatever the option is on children that are not yours in the household) they would stop caring or playing with the child they had if their bio kids were crying or needed something 🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍 I just love them so much!!

Absalom: You're getting really good at using your magic at will.

Elucea: I've been practicing a bit while the two of you aren't looking. Scrubaroo is amazing to clean the infants with.

Absalom: *laughs* I bet.

Elucea: Can I ask you something?

Absalom: Of course.

Elucea: Why the tattoos all of a sudden?

Absalom: I don't know really. I never really wanted them before but then Kan and I passed a tattoo parlor on the way home from the gym one day and I just had to go in. Wanted something that made me think of you. And then I just kept going back.

Elucea: Which one was that?

Absalom: Which do you think?

Elucea: The Mermaid on your calf. Though maybe the Dragon on your back.

Absalom: Both actually. I got the Mermaid first but I needed a Dragon too. Why are you asking now?

Elucea: I've wanted to ask but at the same time it would mean admitting that I've been ogling you in the shower.

Absalom: *voice dropping an octave* Please my little Siren, ogle away

The two of them have far more fun dancing than should be legal (for whatever reason the two of them became hysterical) and Absalom pulls her into another kiss when they finish their dance.

Elucea: Let's take a selfie to commiserate a date well had.

Absalom: We can take that selfie but I'm not done with this date yet.

Kanaloa: What happened!?

Absalom: She's gone into Labor.

Kanaloa: So we'll meet her at the hospital. Did she really think she could elude us forever?

Absalom: *through gritted teeth* she's not going to the hospital, she's giving birth at home.

Kanaloa: What the Woohock! Does she have a Doctor there? A midwife?

Absalom: I don't know! All she said was she had help

[hashimasims]

Elucea: I'm sorry no one came to dinner. You guys put in all this effort for nothing.

Absalom: Nah I think it's an EA issue. We should have known not to try to throw a dinner party during the holiday. The notification popped up that it was going to start but hasn't actually done so.

Kanaloa: And you helped with this buffet too El. Neither of us have ANY baking skill so the desserts are all you. Grab something and come sit down so we can check off the "Have Grand Meal" tradition off together.

The three of them sit to eat varying grand meals together enjoying each other's company and the conversation flowing until they hear Finnbri start crying in her crib.

Kanaloa: I'll get her you two get dessert

So while Kan goes to settle Finnbri and handle whatever needs she has at the moment Absalom settles on a piece of Plasma Pie and El finds some red ice cream that she doesn't remember making but there's a strong cinnamon smell and who can resist that on a cold autumn night?

Absalom: I know you're a Dragon El but DAMN

Elucea: OH MY WATCHER! I'm a Sea Dragon! I'm not supposed to be able to breathe fire! This is Dragon's Breath Ice Cream! Who thought it would be funny to make this?

Kanaloa: *yelling from the hallway* That'd be me. I was hoping your father would eat it, I should have put it in the freezer when the party didn't start on time. Sorry Babe. And you could if you wanted to. Being a Goddess means forget all logic because it no longer applies.

On a side note: While playing in a bookshelf (that The Watcher has no idea how she can reach to begin with) Finnbri finally learned how to crawl!

[hashimasims]

Absalom: I guess this didn't actually need to be a second first date. I didn't need to learn things about you because I already know you. I may not have known that sunflowers were your favorite flower from you telling me but you used to always wear a pair of sunflower earrings. I didn't know your favorite author by name but I remember your bookshelf in Sulani full of Fantasy Romances so I know what kind you prefer to read. I know you have a nurturing nature and just want to take care of everyone and everything which is why I got you Zuma - and probably also why you filled your house with so many pets and now farm animals. I love you so much Elucea, and I can't believe I let myself think for even one second that I didn't know a single thing about you. That because he courted you to learn these things, he loved you more than I did and he was the better choice for you. I know now that both of us are your perfect match, all of us are better together, we all belong together.

Elucea is at a loss for words. Truly choked by emotions and when the tears start overflowing Absalom pulls her up for a kiss.

Absalom: Please don't ever think I don't love you or that you have to do everything on your own. I'm here for you, Kan is here for you. lean on us, please. I love you El. I don't want you to spiral again because of burnout. I know you've been cancelling your appointments with Hypnos and if you're doing it because you don't want to see him anymore OK, but don't be doing it because you think you don't have time to take care of yourself.

Elucea: I love you . . . Absalom.

Absalom proceeds to tickle Elucea mercilessly until she's heaving for breath from laughing so hard

Elucea: Stop! Stop! Please! No fair! How do you know I'm ticklish? STOP STOP.

Absalom: Actually there's quite a bit I know about you that I didn't even realize I knew. Things I learned just by paying attention to you but didn't understand at the time that I was learning you.

[hashimasims]

Absalom: El, why can't you call me Absalom when you talk to me? I don't care that you still call me Taehyung, but you say my name when talking to everyone else, so I don't see why you can't use it with me.

Elucea: I don't really know to be honest it just doesn't seem right. I know it's your name, who you are, but you've always been Taehyung from the moment I met you. Maybe one day but not today, probably not tomorrow, but one day.

Absalom: Ok. I told you, I always liked the way you said it, so don't take my asking as complaining. I was just curious.

Elucea: Did you have a good time tonight?

Absalom: Of course I did.

Elucea: I just - I don't know when we'll be able to do this again. There's just so much going on.

Absalom: In a couple of weeks. Kan and I planned it out that you're gonna go out once a week. Once with each of us and then on the third week all three of us are going to go out.

Elucea: But the kids, the ranch, your jobs.

Absalom: Don't worry everything's already handled. As far as the kids we're hiring a nanny - before you argue, not a permanent live in nanny, just someone to come and help a little bit during the day. We can also hire another ranch hand to help out as well but we might not have to because I quit my job today.

Elucea: You did what!

Absalom: I'm not a judge anymore, so you're stuck with me lurking around the house all the time. Kan is planning on leaving the military once his contract is up as well, then you'll have both of us around to help with the school and the ranch. So see? Everything's handled.

Elucea: You're kidding? Oh my Watcher! I'm positively tickled pink!

Absalom: Not yet you're not.

Elucea: This was really nice Tae. I can't remember the last time I had this much fun. You were right, I needed this.

Absalom: Not one to say I told you so but -

Elucea: Then don't start now *laughs*

[hashimasims]

Elucea: Isn't this that new restaurant that got dropped in? This place has like a three week wait at a minimum! How did you get a reservation in here?

Absalom: I may know the owners. They're a Vamp couple I've known for a while.

Elucea: I heard this place had a secret menu that no one could get them to reveal. Now I'm guessing it has something to do with your diet and only Vamps can get it.

Absalom: It's not really secret. When we get in there you'll see, there's plasma fruit symbols next to foods that you can get the plasma variety of. And most of the night staff are Vamps as well.

Elucea throws her arms around him.

Elucea: This is amazing Tae *she whispers into his neck* reminds me of our first date at the sushi place when I made them make you a blue steak.

Absalom: I thought that wasn't a date

Elucea: Shut up you knew it was a date. Let's go in before they give away your table.

Kanaloa: Elucea, you need this. Please go -

Elucea: Kan I -

Kanaloa: *placing a finger against her lips* Shh let me finish please. You need to go. Enjoy yourself, have some fun, just don't worry about anything just for a night.

Elucea: But Kan . . . You won't be able to handle the four of them on your own. I just, I can't!

Kanaloa: You do it, why can't I? Only difference between the two of us is I'm willing to accept help. I already hired a nanny for the night and asked Tera to come by. You need this. Abs needs this. Please. Go get ready and go enjoy yourself. I won't accept no on this so save any other rebuttals and get your ass to your closet and get dressed to go out.

Elucea: Fine. Guess I'm out numbered.

Kanaloa: Yep. Give me my goodbye kiss now so I can get the school in their highchairs and can start the feedings.
