Since both Stick and Holly were woken up by Eliza's screaming, they decided to seize the moment and get to work on baby #2. Obviously they were both excited about that idea.
Success! Holly is officially eating for two!
Holly: Guess what Stick...I'm pregnant!
Stick: I approve!
Stick loves tending to his little girl. He's constantly autonomously over there holding her, cuddling her, etc.
Oh gross! The toilet broke but Holly had some morning sickness kick in, so here she is puking into the toilet as toilet water is splashing in her face. Ew.
Meanwhile, Stick chose to ignore his wife's yacking and chose to boogie down. You just do you, Stick.
Finally! Between the couple of promotions Stick has earned and the collectibles they've found and sold, we finally had enough to build them a nice little home.
Holly helped Eliza get settled into her new nursery, adorable tiny baby bump in tow.
Then Stick came in for some autonomous hugging. Lynnwood loves doing ship names. If I were to do one for these two...Stolly? Hick? I think Stolly. #Stolly4Eva
Stick continues to keep his bookworm trait alive.
Holly finally got to break in their new kitchen, which she loves.
Stick practiced some of his jokes while they enjoyed some BLTs for brunch. Still keeping Holly in stitches, she loves his dorky humor.
A little more Holly/Eliza bonding before it's Eliza's time to age out of the bassinet. As you can see in this picture, Holly's 3rd trimester has rolled around. Baby #2 will be here any time now!
Child Eliza! Not 100% sure where that hair color comes from. It's slightly darker than Stick's. But I *think*, if I remember right, his hair color is a custom color. This whole genetics/custom colors/children only have, like, 4 or 5 hair color options thing proves to be the bane of my existence in another story I'm currently working on/playing. We'll get to that another time in the near future. Anyway, she's still adorable.
With Eliza's childhood status achieved, I decided to build an addition onto the house to give her a room separate from the nursery.
I used a Sim randomizer (found here - thanks for the link, Lynnwood!) to roll a random trait and aspiration for her. She took after daddy and rolled the Bookworm trait. Love it!
This is just a shameless excuse to show off her cute pjs and mismatched socks <3
Autonomous hugs with mom! So precious.
Later that evening...
Stick: My baby senses are tingling....BABY?!
Holly: *Continues cooking* Yes, dear, the baby is coming. Simmer down. (For those who may or may not remember, 'simmer down' was Stick Stickly's catchphrase during his reign on Nickelodeon!)
The contractions got a little more intense as the labor progressed. But Holly took it like a champ!
To pass the time, Stick took his hobby with him while he tended to some bathroom needs.
Eliza rolled the Artistic Prodigy aspiration so I had her pass the labor time at the art table. She also got in some playtime with Dino.
Finally it was time for baby #2 to make its way into the world. Holly headed to the nursery to get things going.
And it's....a BOY! Everyone say hello to Chuckie Stickly!
Chuckie is named after this classic little cutie, Chuckie Finster from Rugrats!
Chuckie's birth took a lot out of poor Holly. She went and took a nap immediately after she got him settled in.
Eliza got the 'unwanted sibling' moodlet after his birth. I'm on the fence about that one. I kind of think it's cute/realistic in a way, cause children get jealous sometimes of siblings and such. But I also hate how angry it makes them. Oh well. She's still pretty cute to watch stomping around.
I had her work out some of her aggression on Dino.
When Stick returned home from work that evening, Holly suggested they get going on baby #3. Celebratory fist pump tells us she made a convincing argument to her hubby.
This gave them a chance to break in their new bed!
Toilet confetti = successful attempt. Holly and Stick make one mean baby making machine!
Of course, Holly couldn't wait to share the big news with Stick. He was excited, as always.
And that's where we will leave off this update! Tune in next time to see baby #3 come into the world and watch the Stickly family continue to grow! Happy simming!
The USS Stolly has officially left port. :D And Chucky!! I loved that character. *fingers crossed for red hair*
