Leeland really, really needed new clothes.

That's more like it!
Bryony - already permaplat since her teen years - found a job as a journalist, while Leeland wants to get paid to party. They planted a garden, added to the house...

... and tried out the new elevator they'd installed.
I think Leeland prefers the bed. Or the car. Or the hottub.

"I get more woohoo?!?"
Sure. We need to get you plat so you'll get promoted tomorrow. Oops - did I just hit try for baby? Gee, sorry Leeland, my finger slipped. Several times in a row.

Catching up with his friends, Leeland hears that Tamara's husband Javier got abducted and came back pregnant with alien twins. The news does not please him - he's probably remembering how he was abducted as a teenager.

See Bryony. See Bryony run. Run, Bryony, run!

Good job, Leeland! He's a professional party guest, and permaplat!
I sent him into paranormal next, because I really wanted to see him in that outfit. Btw, Bryony switched from journalism to law.

Hello? Where did my sim disappear to? He was there just a second ago!

Does this constitute a Sign From Above?

Pop!

"It's time! Leeland, the baby's coming!"
(Please be a boy. And if you wouldn't mind having red or blond hair, too, that'd be real nice.)

"Yeah, yeah. Get on with it, will ya?"
Watch it. You'll have to go through this yourself, soon, you know. Let's see if you're as bored then!

It's a girl, with Leeland's brown hair. (Sigh.) Her name is Poppy, in keeping with the Forsythe flower name tradition.

"Mmmm, she's sexy when she's having a baby!"
Bryony hands the baby over to Leeland right away, because she has something important to do.

"I haven't been able to do this since I started showing!"
Pleasure seekers.

Both parents immediately rolled up fears of dirty diapers. Oh, the joys of sloppy sims. Since Bryony had work that day, and Leeland was on maternity (paternity?) leave anyway, he got stuck with the job.
As soon as that fear was fulfilled, he rolled up wants to cuddle and play with the baby.

See? He might be a romance sim with no nice points, but he loves his little girl!

How would you feel about a pleasure seeker as The Law in your home town?

The next day, it's Leeland's turn to go into labor. He actually gained aspiration points from having the baby! (Okay, so it was a "meet someone new" want.)

Meet Beatrice Dante. And if you don't know why I named her that, find the nearest encyclopedia.

"Ooooh, he's so sexy when he's having a baby!"
I swear, these two were made for each other.

It's Poppy's birthday, too. Everybody gather around the cake! We're about to see what she really looks like!

Or not.
"She stinks!"
Yeah, yeah. Change her diaper while I buy another cake, and we'll try again.

Poppy is another one of those Dante children from hell. Gemini, 1/10/10/8/0. I shudder to think what she and her cousin Cecilia will get up to when they get older.
So, Leeland, I notice you rolled up a want to teach her to talk...?
"I have ten outgoing points, I want to talk to everybody!"

She absolutely refuses to say teddy. She'll happily say bottle, Daddy, high chair, and so on, but not teddy.
"Teddy bears are for sissies!"
And once he's taught her to talk, Leeland wants to teach her to walk and go potty. Romance sim, hah. He's a family sim in disguise!

See what I mean?

...
This kid scares me.

He's a lot less concerned when Nadia Nettles Wrightley stays in the hottub for too long and catches on fire.
"Why do I need to put the fire out, again?"
Because if you don't, there will be no more hottub woohoo.
"Right! Putting out the fire!"

Beatrice had a birthday, too. Her personality is the complete opposite of everybody else in the house. She's a Capricorn, 8/0/0/10/10. Neat where the others are slobs, extremely nice where they're all mean, lazy where the others are at least average active, shy where at least her father and sister are very outgoing... The only thing they all have in common is the playfulness.

Cuteness.
Leeland wanted to teach her to walk and talk, too. I'm telling you, the mean romance sim thing is just a facade - he's really a big old softie.
Points this round: 4, 2 for TOCs, 2 for babies.

Levitating baby. I knew she was possessed.

See Bryony. See Bryony run. Run, Bryony, run! LOL
It must be so nice to be able to really share the experience of childbirth with your spouse - I only wish it was available in real life! I've never seen the 'fear of changing diapers', usually because I never make sloppy sims. I'm seeing alot of new things since starting my Prosperity,. It's a great help reading other peoples blogs, so I can at least be forwarned of some of these weird personality traits.
Poor Beatrice, how will she ever cope? Poor Poppy, not an ounce of niceness. These are going to be extreme personalities, I wonder if they'll clash?
Anyway, another laugh out loud update, can't wait for another.
Oh, your Leeland is still young! Mine is an elder at this point. I love what a good dad he is--I've always liked Leeland. Beatrice is darling--I think she's prettier than Poppy, as well as nicer.
Love the girls' names - Poppy and Beatrice are very befitting.
Awww - Leland is a great daddy. I absolutely love the photo with the telescope being struck by lighting with the dance sphere behind it. Great job catching that.
Wow! What a pretty alien you have there! All of mine turn out more "special" then I would like.
This house was a real laugh. Poppy is VERY creepy...
Gotta love it when having a baby fullfills the "meet someone new" want. It is true though. Leeland is really a good father. I ran into that too
