Jeannette decided to celebrate her last birthday quietly with just her children, husband, and mother-in-law.
The next morning, Julian received some unexpected company at breakfast.
“Good morning, son,” Brady said as Julian entered the room.
“Dad…I’m an old man. Don’t scare me like that! We need to put some bells on your ankles or something.”
Brady laughed. In a way he thought it was strange to see his son so old, but he was glad for a chance to still be in his life for however long he would be able to come back.
“Have you heard from Sasha,” Brady asked.
“No word on the wedding yet, but Dexter sent me this to let me know she made it safely.” Julian took out his phone and showed Brady the selfie. “That guy…” Julian took a few moments to look at the picture again. He smiled and shook his head a few times. “I still don’t know him well, but he probably doesn’t understand how much it meant to me for him to send that picture.”
“I do,” Brady said.
“Right? It speaks volumes to his character. I can’t wait to see him again so I can tell him.”
“That’s honorable, Julian. Sasha would appreciate it. Send my regards as well, please.”
“I will.”
“I love you, son. And I’m still proud of you every day. I just want you to know that.”
“Thanks, dad. I know you are.”
“Good morning, gentlemen,” Viviana said. Brady wasn’t able to visit every night, but he wasn’t a stranger. But still, each time Viviana was surprised and had to restrain herself from tackling him with a bear hug. This time, she kept herself occupied with the dishes leftover from last night’s party.
“Hey, mom.”
“Good morning, my angel.” Every time he called her that made acting normal even harder. She still missed his voice saying those words.
Juliette was up early and came down for breakfast as well. “Hello, grandpa,” she said.
Viviana held her breath for good behavior on Juliette’s part.
Juliette sat down in front of the left over Monte Cristo sandwich and smiled. “Was someone going to eat this?”
“I was,” Julian said. “But you can have it if you want.”
“Thanks, daddy!” She sniffed the sandwich and wafted its sweet scent into her nose. “This…this is perfection!”
“This is totally going on my Simstagram!”
“Now this is a sandwich! #foodislife #gourmetgoodies #foodporn #ilovemygrandma
Those hashtags were too funny!
’Twas the best part of writing this whole thing, he he.
Oh man. Hashtags are my life!! 😀 I’m going to be on break starting this evening, so once I get my room cleaned up and pack some things and go to the bank and finish doing my hair and go to class and drive to my parents house I will have SO MUCH TIME TO PLAY THE SIMS. And write chapters!! I’m hoping to get a LOT of chapters done and ready. 🙂 We’ll have to plan some stuff, so that, y’know, the Pruett Clan will be able to attend the wedding of the century (to me)!
Yeeees!
Love foodies! 🙂
Jeanette is a beautiful elder. <3
Yes! I think she’s one of the few who actually look slightly different as an elder. I mean, she still looks the same, but like, a lot of elders just look like their regular selves with gray hair to me. She actually looks aged…in a good way!
Yeah! her lines are beautiful. I hope that’s like the new norm – it’s been a while since I’ve had any sims age to elder, but it’s kind of disappointing when their faces stay the same. I also noticed the last babies I had in game kind of look more individualized. Hope that’s for real and not just a fluke!
You think so? I haven’t seen a change in the babies. Well…I haven’t seen a baby in a month, but they were still the cookie cutter ones. I hope what you saw was real!
Yeah, I swear it had a distinctive mouth shape? I wish I’d taken a better screenshot. Maybe I’ll do some breeding experiments once I’m done catching up here tonight, heh!
He he, sounds like fun.
