Story and dialogue below cut:

But even with the grief, there’s still some happiness as Kristopher aged up into an infant and gets some snuggles from Gemma.

Gemma: Oh, he’s so precious, reminds me of Sonia when she was his age.

Hazel: *smiles* I know, I think Dad’s probably looking over him proudly.

Ashton, what are you doing?

Ashton: What, he’s my son, I can stretch my neck uncomfortably to coo at him too.

Sonia: Sometimes I think Hazel has interesting choice in men...also I sense a disturbance in the force.

You mean you sense a random Sim showing up in our house after we get home, why?!

Random Sim: I don’t know why I’m here.

That makes two of us.

Generation 1: Alabaster

Ok, Zuri. Wife him up. He autonomously gave our kid a Winterfest gift (The heart teddy bear thingy). She was inside making Winterfest Lasagna, so he wasn't showboating...It seemed genuine. He also kept shoveling snow between cleaning up his mess and giving her adorable kisses on the cheek.

don't call it a comeback (but call it a comeback)

the problem with writing a living challenge is when you change the rules for gens you've already finished you wanna go back and do it again 🙄 it's been a good six months since my last jewels save post (and over a year since the first one) so i'm zipping back to gen 1 with a new matriarch, Bianca !

but this aint the last you've seen of the jewell family,,, not by a long shot,,,

Image 1: A pregnant sim with brown hair pinned back with strands framing their face bouncing on a teal blue exercise ball, next to them is a text box reading Contraction Pain (from Contractions) followed by the words Sonia's contractions are definitely uncomfortable, but manageable, for now. Perhaps she should rest up while she can? Or maybe take a walk before moving becomes unbearable? One way or another, she should definitely take advantage of this calm before the storm.

Image 2: A pregnant sim with long wavy brown hair in a hospital gown leaning back on a hospital bed as a faceless doctor examines her.

Image 3: A pregnant sim with long wavy brown hair walking down a hallway, looking distinctly uncomfortable.

Image 4: A pregnant sim with long wavy brown hair swaying back and forth in the arms of a sim with short wavy black hair.

Image 5: A sim with short wavy black hair kissing the cheek of a sim with long wavy brown hair.

Image 6: A dark and light gradient yellow banner with the words Stone Legacy on the left with three beaming quavers music notes, a fountain pen with stars and a paper airplane swirling around it and a paint palette with a brush above it and the words gen 2 on the right with three beaming quavers music notes, a fountain pen with stars and a paper airplane swirling around it and a paint palette with a brush above it.

Story and dialogue below cut:

Sonia: Did Mom have to go through this?!

Yup, all of it, though I'm sure the epidural helped.

Sonia: I better be taking a break from having babies after this...

At least Darwin has taken a break from trying to nick stuff and is actually being supporting!

Darwin: You're doing great sweetheart, just a bit longer...

Generation 1: Alabaster

No one understood when Zuri agreed to foster Asa. She was young and didn't have a partner - who would volunteer to struggle like that on purpose? But even in the hardest of times, Zuri knew that her youth should be spent wisely. She chose to create her family and enjoy it now while she had the energy! Even the struggles are worth it when family makes your heart beat.

We're back to Lea being in labour. Through the intense pain and overwhelming emotions, Dominique can't help but tears up.
