#ssday 5

Ripp starts the date with a dirty joke.

I love teen romantic hugs!

Ripp: Wanna go sit in the hot tub?

Ripp: What do you want to do now?

Virginia: I don't mind.

Ripp: You could come back to mine and hang out for a bit? The General likes you...

Virginia: Ripp!

Skye: Honestly, Beulah, we're fine... I managed the house fine for years before Penny was born, and before she was big enough to help... take over...

Woody has an active want to go to college, which makes it homework o'clock!

Woody: Hi, Pascal.

Of course Penny and Pascal went straight for the chess board. They don't have time at home, what with four toddlers!

Woody: Well hi there! Your daddy's married to my sister, which makes me your Uncle Woody. And I'm green like you!

Want to meet someone new - fulfilled!

And then Penny left due to pregnancy motives, and Pascal decided it was late and he should take Tycho and Maia home too.

Woody was just making dinner, too! Why couldn't they stay?

Oh, maybe it's best they didn't stay.

Meanwhile, Skye spent his evening stargazing.

Eden learnt to walk!

Mary: How are things at home without Penny and Maia?

Woody: Like a hundred times quieter!

Homer: I hope Dixie's garden's ready for harvest before the first snow.

Don't fall in, Eden!

Mary didn't have time to date Vidcund this rotation. I'm sure they will get married eventually (they both have engagement wants) but I don't know if they or I can cope with adding Mary and Eden to the Curious household! I've built them a home nextdoor, but even partially furnished it'll cost $50,000, and right now Mary has next to no money and the Curious household has about $6,000.

Yeah, that's Sandy and Hamilton on the same lot. They completely ignored each other, which, to be fair, is what they usually did on community lots before they broke up anyway.

Don't go there, Ham!

Mary: Looks like pregnancy suits you! Got any name ideas for this one?

Penny: Oh, we're tossing around all sorts of ideas. Pascal suggested something beginning with P because we both do, but then we thought Tycho and Maia might feel left out and like... this baby belongs to us more than they do, which is of course not what we want, so now we might go for another letter entirely. Pascal's parents were called Glarn and Kitty. I don't like Glarn at all, but Kitty's quite nice. She could be Katherine for long and then there's lots of options! But if it's a boy... who knows!

Mary wanted a skill point, and a body point seemed as good as any.

After school, Scot went out to try and earn some money. It turns out teens can't work as a barista, despite the actual barista being a teen (at least I think she is!), so he ended up freestyling for tips, which got him $25 from Johnny.

Delta: Eden, can you play it's a secret house full of spies and you have to whisper or someone finds them all? Cuz I need a nap!

Eden: Na! Na!

River: Soon you'll be doing this all by yourself!

Homer: Boo!

Eden: *giggle giggle giggle*

Eden loves her bear!

Kristen: How soon can we organise a wedding, do you think? I'd rather be married before the baby's born.

Junior: Yeah, that's cool. I guess... the smaller we keep it, the sooner we can organise it? I don't have that many people to invite - just my folks and a few friends. Hey, whereabouts are your folks at? How much notice will they need?

Kristen: My parents are dead - my dad died when I was a kid and my mum died a few years back.

Junior: Shit. I'm so sorry. How did I not know that? I'm sorry if I've upset you-

Kristen: It's fine. I'm a pretty private person, I guess. But... I think it'd be good to talk about them with you.

Junior: Mother? Father? I asked Kristen to marry me. Also, we're expecting a baby.

Rich: Better have the wedding quick then, or she won't fit in a wedding dress!

Lana: Welcome to the family, dear.

Rich: That's a firm handshake! What business are you in?

Kristen: I'm an athlete. I guess I'll have to retire now, though... I was close to it anyway...

Pop!

Protein's good for the baby, right?

Junior: Kristen Loste, I am madly in love with you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and with our baby, a proper little family. So, will you do me the immeasurable honour of becoming my wife?

Kristen: This isn't like a shotgun proposal, because I'm pregnant?

Junior: No. I bought the ring weeks ago and I've been waiting for the right time. And maybe this wasn't it, but... I've never been more sure about anything, ever.

Junior: Hey gorgeous! Want to go out? I could take you someplace for dinner... and by someplace I mean the diner in Strangetown... unless you'd rather hotdogs?

Kristen: It's not that I don't want to see you... I just... I don't feel like going out.

Junior: Are you okay? Shall I come over?

Kristen: Could I come to yours? Even with your parents there, I'm sure we can find somewhere quiet to talk - my place is always bonkers, and Chloe's got a date over.

Ah, he didn't say goodbye to Beulah soon enough, I see...

Junior: You said you wanted to talk? Is something wrong?

Kristen: ... Not exactly. I'm pregnant.

Junior: For real? Wow! ... Um... do you want to be pregnant?

Kristen: I mean... yes, I'd always thought I'd be a mum someday, and I'm not getting any younger. But... I'd always thought I'd be further on in my career before I had children. But now I think there's only time for one... so yes, I want this baby.
