Jessamyn Cantrell called up Ethan Cooper first thing she did this week, and told him she was pregnant with his child. he imediately agreed to move in with her and help her raise the baby - as well as her young daughter, since Rhea's father Romulus Bonaccord wants nothing to do with her. It seems his father's death has made Ethan want to change his lifestyle...



"Make-out on tap!"

Or maybe his reasons are less noble than that.



Despite not feeling very good, Jessamyn managed to squeeze in one more day's work - and one promotion - before going on maternity leave.



Which left Etahn to take care of little Rhea. Fortunately, the two of them are fast friends, ever since he spent hours playing with her and the wobbly wabbit last round.



Ethan and Rhea make beautiful music together.

What? They do!



He fulfills another LTW by reaching the top of the slacker career. Time to find something else to do, bud - although maybe you should get some more skill points first, so you can move up in the next career faster.



Meanwhile Jessamyn has developed a craving for chocolate.



Rhea gfrows up into a child... and those Bonaccord genes still freak me out. She'd better grow into that face, or she'll have to be introduced to the face lift thingy when she gets to college!



But you know, from the right angle, with the right hairdo to cover up those cheeks, she's almost cute.



Jessamyn gave birth to a second daughter. This one was named Fredrica, for her late grandfather. She has her mother's skintone and haircolor, but her father's brown eyes.



Ethan was thrilled to have a daughter!

And because the baby years bore me, we move straight to Fredrica as a toddler.



Interestingly enough, she has a personality that reminds me very much of Leeland Dante's - 2/10/2/10/1 - but instead of a Leo like him, she's a Taurus. Not to mention that it's almost the exact opposite of her sister Rhea's personality (10/2/10/3/10). I predict some future sibling tension here...



Jessamyn, if you toss her in the air like that, don't come complaining to me when she throws up on you!



Some people just never learn...



She's very good for Daddy, though. Definitely a daddy's little girl.



What, a romance sim potty training his daughter? Ethan, has your father's family-minded ghost taken over your body?

"No more dirty diapers, ever!"



Of course it's not all about taking care of the kids. Whenever possible, Ethan and Jessamyn squeeze in some private time and have themselves a date. I can't tell whether she's more anxious to reach her IW of 50 dream dates, or worried that he'll stray if she doesn't keep him satisfied...


Points this round: 2, for TOC and new sim. Ethan became a Professional Party Guest, and Fredrica was born.
