episode: "the grass is always greener..." (year 5)
previously: the Wyles family is ready for baby #2 // Sofia and Jason have bedroom troubles
With Isabelle's childhood years fast approaching, Cassia and Adrian are ready to start trying for another baby. Unfortunately, things aren't going as easy this time around. Try as they might, month after month after month, that test comes back negative.
As they reach the six month mark, they wonder if it's time to see a professional about this little hiccup. Cassia hears that Sofia saw a fertility doctor a couple years back, although she never said exactly why. It obviously worked out well for them, as they now have two beautiful little girls.
Not quite time to despair, Adrian springs into action with his research, clicking away on his phone before Cassia has even finished flushing the toilet. Surely there is more they can try. She could lie down and elevate her hips after intercourse? He could eat walnuts and take cool showers? Does any of that really work? And maybe they're trying too often. "It's better to try two or three times a week. Not every day. So the swimmers can be stronger and more potent."
Cassia didn't have the heart to be disappointed again, but they agreed to try for one more month.
They never really found out which of all those things they tried finally did the trick. (Or if it was that their watcher bumped up their fertility chances from 30% to 50%, because I was starting to worry it might be a bug... I mean, even at 30%, they tried like ten times and it had me worried for a minute!)
They suspect it was the face clipping that finally worked. Duh, everybody knows you can't make a para baby without face clipping cuddles! Magic tricks. Phew!
With all the stress of conception in the rearview mirror now, Cassia could return some of her energy to other things in her life, like neglected friendships.
She and Sofia had been planning to get the girls all together for a toddler playdate ever since they bought the house next door. It took some back and forth (literally, loading and reloading each household to get all of these paras in the same spot at the same time), but they finally found a time that worked for them all. They can't wait for their girls to become best friends. Maybe they'll even take down the fence between their yards so they can all see a lot more of each other!
Cassia also has some happy news to share with her friend. "I'm pregnant! Finally. Oh, it was the worst! Such an ordeal! We had to do it so many times. It took like six months!"
"That must have been so hard for you," Sofia said, biting back a surprising wave of envy. Oh, to have a man who could rise to the occasion over and over again for six whole months… No, Jason still could not, and Sofia was beginning to feel hungry.
That night while Sofia slept, she was offered an interesting choice of story cards, one of which was overwhelming and terrible. She should reject the idea. We don't need that level of drama in our cozy Paralives gameplay, do we?... She's your friend, Sofia. They are your neighbors. Be happy for them. Don't, don't, don't fantasize about your friend's exceptionally virile husband.
(Of course, we clicked yes!, because we are sluts for that drama! 😆 )
Or at least, if you must embrace these perverse feelings, then don't slink by their house the next morning in your underwear hoping he might peek out the window and witness those tempting curves and develop a crush back...
We whispered, "drama," and Sofia said, "How high?"
Adrian didn't see anything, by the way. Cassia wore him out and he's kind of tired, to be honest. Now that they're expecting, he doesn't want to think about sex of any sort for at least another month!
So inside the Wyles home, secrets are still secrets. Maybe they should stay that way, but that will be up to Sofia in the end. For now, we'll just enjoy a celebratory happy dance and announce to Isabelle that she's going to be a big sister.

On a whim, we feel like spending the morning at the beach before work. Cassia is blessed with short afternoon shifts at the museum, leaving her mornings wide open to spend with her little one. This morning, we crave some fresh air.
Let's see if Isabelle can walk on her newly minted toddler feet to the beach. She is destined to be a sporty para like her daddy, and the beach is just two blocks away.
Ha ha, technically, yes, she could do it.
Also, technically, it would take her until dinnertime to get there. So we are carrying this baby again.
She ate the sand! 🤣🥰
We totally have to get open water swimming someday in this game, right? Until then, we will just gaze longingly at the water and be jealous of our TS4 neighbors (but only the ones living in select worlds where swimming is allowed...)
And she's worn out before lunchtime.
"Up! Up! Up!" She is super offended that her daddy wants to lift weights for a minute instead of her!
Child, you have all of the attention all the time and a 100% full affection bar! And it's not enough???
Para parenting is too real life. Little girlie got clingy. We think it's time for a sibling to occupy her attention.
Matchy matchy, clutter clutter. I still feel like this house, and this room especially, is too bland for this very spritely couple. Too brown. Need more color! (Although I do love matching all my wood tones with the color wheel!)
But I think that crib is definitely ready for some more "try for baby" action!
#3808 - Senna pleurocarpa var. angustifolia - Fire Bush
"Laxative plant with ribbed fruit and narrow leaflets" First formally described in 1859 by Ferdinand von Mueller as Cassia pleurocarpa.
AKA Chocolate Bush, from the smell of the flowers. The species is found in all arid parts of Australia, but the angustifolia variety is most widespread in WA, and is also found in temperate and semi-arid areas. Most common in red stony soils.
Wongan Hills, site of the 2024 Great South Bioblitz weekend trip I organised, certainly counts.

I've uploaded a mod with an updated portrait of Cassia from Warhammer 40,000
This is my own interpretation of her character, with a more detailed and personal view of her, but still maintaining her recognizable personality and the atmosphere of the universe
If you enjoy the dark aesthetic of Warhammer and slightly more "alive" portraits, be sure to check it out
You can find the link to the mod portrait itself below, and there will also be installation instructions in the description (⌒▽⌒)☆
The mod replaces Cassia's portrait from Warhammer 40,000 with an author's redesigned version, maintaining her recognizable appearance while
