King and Queen Prescott. If they were royals

Thank you for the tag @perolesims @pamsimmer @simmerbeans 😊💕

❄️Emerson Love Church hails from too hot and too sunny Strangerville. Right from the beginning, she was born in the wrong world, during the wrong holiday, and definitely the wrong climate. No one loves Winter more than Emerson. Her Winterfest decor is up at the same time most Sims are picking a Halloween costume. You can trust her to be playing the newest and oldest Winterfest music, and best of all, every day is prime for hot cocoa and ice skating!

🎨: As guests started arriving at the party, it took a dark turn. Grim was once again on my family’s property. I hadn’t encountered him since my father’s untimely departure. My mother gathered everyone and ushered them inside when she noticed his ominous presence.

Today he was here to lead one of my mother’s cows and a chicken to the other side. I didn’t intervene this time around, but I watched him intently. I didn’t trust him, and I still haven’t forgiven him for taking my dad.

🎨: Before I knew it, our court date had arrived. It was time to win this once and for all. We had everything we needed, including Bob, his husband Max, and their teen son, Iggy Pancakes. Eliza didn't even have a lawyer; just a smug smile she flashed at everyone present. She was too cocky for her own good, and her past was about to repeat itself. She would lose another child to the birth father and their partner, but I didn't think that was the part that would bother her.

First up was Lizbeth. And despite being the center of this whole court proceeding, she was cool as a cucumber.

Judge: Good morning Lizbeth do you know why you're here today?

Lizbeth: Good morning, your majesty. Yes! It's so that Mr. Esquire can help my mom become my real mom, like my dad did with my sister, Lane.

Judge: [chuckles] Your honor or judge will do. And yes, we are here to decide on the matter of custody and adoption. You will be asked some questions, and I want you to do your best to tell the truth. Can you do that?

🎨: Sasha asked if I was still meeting her and Junbug at Willow Creek Athletics for yoga. Willow Creek Athletics, unbeknownst to me, is owned and run by the Daniels. Yes, the same Austin Daniels and his soon-to-be ex-wife. Apparently, they still run the business together. He came nosing around while we were weightlifting. He hovered in our space, making faces in our direction. Eventually, he must have decided he needed to step in before someone got hurt in his establishment. Austin started correcting Sasha and Jun’s form until he noticed me. I’d intentionally had my back turned towards him, praying he wouldn't recognize me.

Of course, he did. I was polite when he came over to say hello, but we quickly abandoned the weights and headed up to the second level for yoga. To my disappointment, Caitlin Daniels was the instructor today. I’d never seen her run a class in all the time we’d been coming here. I hadn’t even known the Daniels were the owners till now. Much to my surprise, the class was excellent! Sasha was so pumped after the session that she tipped Caitlin and stayed for a second session.

🎨: I’m more like my dad all the time. When I was a teenager, my dad was teaching me about flower arranging when suddenly he was pulled into the sky by a strange light right from the garden.

*My game crashed after this and so I didn't get to see when they returned her or her moodlets.
