Welcome back to the home of Paul, Paige, Peg, and Unborn Baby - aka the Ryan family. Pictured here, as you can see, are Paige and her daughter. Paul is busy trying to earn the last skill point he needs for the promotion that will fulfill his LTW. (He did earn it, but took so long to do it that he was late for work. No promotion that day.)
Sheesh - Paige, that's not your husband! Stop hearting over Malcolm Landgraab!
You may remember that at the Wrightley house I discovered that Paige has three bolts for her best friend's husband, Guy Wrightley. Apparently she has no qualms about appreciating other men.
"Hey, I'm just looking!"
Malcolm was the first walkby on Monday, and Paige greeted him. He headed straight for the nursery and spent the rest of his visit getting to know little Peg. They seemed to really hit it off. I'll have to remember that when she grows up...
Early the next morning, Paige went into labor, with Paul being about as helpful as a sim father can be.
It's a boy! Meet Prince Ryan. (Yes, I named him Prince.) Like his sister, he has Paul's hair and eyes. Yay for recessive haircolors!
And that very day, Paul returned from work with a promotion to Chief of Staff, and permaplat status. I'm not a big fan of the medical career - lousy chance cards, among other things - so he soon found a new job.
Anyone who's watched ATWT in the past year or so will know why I chose paranormal...
But first, Peg had a birthday! She really does look just like her daddy. Right now, those features are a little too big for her face, but I have reason to hope that she'll grow into them.
From the moment I entered the lot, Paul had a want to buy a makeover station, and it just wouldn't go away. I finally gave in and did it. He has a real knack for it, and hardly ever gets a bad result.
Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Paige. Poor Jessamyn Cantrell was horrified! But the second attempt went better.
Between the two of them, a whole bunch of townies are walking around with new and improved looks. Well, most of them are improved. Some are just funny.
Paige... Wouldn't it be wiser for you to keep some distance to Guy and those three bolts? Why expose yourself to that kind of temptation unnecessarily?
"We're just friends! But doesn't he look gorgeous with this hairstyle?"
Uh, right. Gorgeous is not a word I'd associate with Mr Chimpface, but I guess to each their own. And Paige, don't forget that Paul is your "own," not Guy.
Prince is a toddler! Just like his big sister he looks a lot like Paul, although I'm pretty sure he has Paige's nose. He's an Aries, like both his parents, 5/8/6/5/3.
What are you reading, Paige? Mind if I take a look?
Oh, my. Isn't that Remington? You're reading romance novels starring your maid? Sheesh. I can't quite make out the title, but it looks like it says "Mail Maid & Visit" or something of the sort...
Speaking of maids, do I want to know why Lexie Nottington's fingerprints are on the Maidmobile?
Little Peg doesn't have an easy time learning cleaning skill, and her mother's attitude isn't helping. Really, Paige, it's not her fault she only has two neat points!
Seriously. Not good parenting, there. I'm feeling really sorry for Peg. And it isn't just her mom, either. While Paul spends most of his time jumping from one career to another - he's a lawyer now - he always seems to find time for Prince, but not so much for his daughter.
Case in point: Headmaster visit. Paul is a fortune sim, so he should've rolled up a want for Peg to get into private school, right? Nope. But the second Prince grew into a child, there it was - a want to get him into private school. Favoritism much?
Oh, you wanted to see what Prince looks like as a child? Well, here he is, and he's cute. He's going to have his pick of girls when he gets older... mainly because there are so many more girls than boys around here.
He immediately rolled up a want to buy a lemonade stand, and of course the son and heir must be indulged. Napoleon Nettles was one of his first customers.
Meanwhile Peg is scarfing down food to comfort herself over being unloved...
Or maybe she's just a very sloppy eater.
Points this week: 2, 1 for TOC (Paul became Chief of Staff) and 1 for a new sim, Prince.
"Why is this Guy always hanging around?"

Wow! There is a lot of favoritism going on in this house. As a girl, I'm highly offended. =)
Seriously, though all the kids are adorable. I love how they all came out with their dad's blonde hair. That never happends to me *pout
Heh. What do you expect from parents who name their son "Prince"? :)
He really is cute, though.
Poor Peg! Looks like Prince is the favorite! I hope things start looking brighter for her once she becomes a teen. Congrats to Paul for achieving his lifetime want. Enjoyed reading!
Poor Peg! It might be because she doesn't have the same surname as her Dad, and that's why he favours his son. It's strange though isn't it!
She has some luck though - Malcolm Landgraab would make a lovely rich husband for any sim, and with all the girls in your 'hood, he'd be quite a catch. Mind you I've heard he makes really ugly kids, so maybe not!
Well done on all the TOC's, you seem to be rattling through them! This family will soon own every career reward object ever invented.
Great update!
I love giving townies make-overs! Poor, poor neglected Peg. Prince sure is a cutie!
