Round Three - Ambrose

[lvstndhrt.livejournal.com]

Natalya and the boys keep pretty busy during the day while Zayne is sleeping.



"Hey hon, I know this must be tough on you raising the boys on your own. I just wanted to say what a great job you're doing."
"Aw, thank you. Its a lot of work, but I really couldn't imagine life without them now."







Its moments like these that make everything else not seem so bad.









Natalya has been putting the boys down for their afternoon nap a little earlier so Zayne can have more time with them. They're growing so fast and they're talking already.











"Come on Thor, come to papa."
Talking and now walking, the boys are really growing up.







Natalya takes some time to go fishing when the boys are down for their nap. She's really getting the hang of it now.



"Hey Ruby, good to see you."
"Hey Natalya. Is Zayne home?"
"Yeah, sure he is. I think he is down at the beach."



"Hey Ruby. How are things going? How is the little one?"
"Little one.. oh, Maddison. I'm sure she is fine. Look I wanted to talk to you about something."



"Whats on your mind Ruby?"
"Well you see, Liv and I have been bartering our wares in the front yard, but we had this idea..."



"So if we could open a small market somewhere, Liv said she wouldn't mind running it while I work on my sewing projects."
"You know, that sounds like a great idea. Let me know if you need anything. I'm sure Erik will help you with any supplies you need as well."
"This is going to be awesome! Thanks Zayne. We'll keep you posted."



The local wolf pack seems to be less and less bothered by the sims that have settled in on their island. They've been hanging around the houses more and more. There has been some concern over the safety of the children, but so far they haven't shown any signs of aggression. They actually seem very tolerant of the toddlers.













Now that the boys can talk Natalya tries to teach them a nursery rhyme from her childhood.



The boys and work keep Zayne and Natalya so busy that they hardly even see each other anymore.
"Hold that thought, hon. Why don't you get comfortable and I'll put the boys to sleep."







"Finally, alone at last..."









Natalya seems to have come down with a severe case of heat stroke to the point of it making her nauseous. It's been so hot lately and she's tried everything she can to cool off.



Her sleep is restless that night and she is frequently woken up with terrible nightmares.





She was so surprised when she discovers the nausea wasn't from the heat stroke after all. Looks like there is another little Ambrose on the way.



Erik doesn't pop around much anymore and the bathtub has been broken for ages.
"Hey Erik, I know you're busy, but I was hoping you had a little free time to look at our tub? It has a leak."



Erik couldn't say no to the town leader's wife even if he wanted to.



When Zayne wakes up that evening Natalya breaks the news about her pregnancy. Not all is joy and happiness though.
"What are we going to do? We don't have room for another baby. This cabin is too small already with the four of us."
"We will make due, the boys don't mind and they play outside all the time anyway."
"I wish I could do more to help you. The twins are so much work and all that stress can't be good for the baby."
"Babe, really, its all going to work out just fine."
"You're so strong... I'm the luckiest man in the world."





Natalya insists on paying Erik for his work. They have set up a voucher system as part of bartering that they can trade for work or items. It isn't perfect, but everyone has accepted it for now.







This pregnancy has been really hard on Natalya. Zayne was right about the boys wearing her out. To make matters worse she is suffering another bout of heat stroke.



Erik surprised them with a protocol of something hes been working on in secret. He is hoping the solar panel will be able to supply them with enough power to run any lights or anything else they need. They haven't plugged anything in yet, but they were grateful to him for installing it for them. It would sure to come in handy one day.

Solar power, that's a wonderful idea :)

Especially in such a sunny climate. :)

Those boys do look like a handful! I can't even imagine having twins in real life, much less when you just started life on an uninhabited island with your vampire husband! All that heat stroke can't be good for the new baby. Can't wait to see the baby and see if it inherits the vampire gene too!

I can't imagine that either to be honest. Natalya and Zayne seem to make out just fine though.

Oh, man. Twins aren't easy to handle on your own, and now she's pregnant again. I hope the baby won't suffer from the heat stroke.

Solar panels! Awesome idea.

Natalya did amazing with the boys on her own. Zayne was a big help teaching them their skills at night too. Hopefully the heat wave is over and heatstroke won't be an issue any longer.

Thanks! I believe I stole the idea from another BACC, but it works perfectly for this location.

Wait...Natalya is fishing in the ocean?? wcif that mod?!
She sure is busy at daytime with the boys and everything. And now there's a new baby on the way!

Natalya can fish in the ocean thanks to this mod (http://www.modthesims.info/d/231324). I also used it on the ship so that Zayne could fish off the side. Its a very useful object I find.

Natalya is a very busy lady. She is working as two parents after all since Zayne needs to work/stay in his coffin during the day.

Oh wow, that mod is brilliant! Thanks again for the link :)
