And we finally have a kitchen, folks; 1.2

It seems the watcher finally got some priorities, kinda. 

I bought this first to help complete Rhys' body building aspiration. Yay for living longer!

As you can see, Rhys got a make-over. I adore the man-bun and the little stubble. 

Rhys: Elsa adores it too.

The man rocking the crop top in the background frequently power-walks by the house.

Between tanking needs and getting as many promotions as I could to get the house baby/child ready, I neglected to get labor pics, or late pregnancy pics.

But its a boy!

Meet Aurel Spare. 

Rhys: Just had to take a picture of this didn't you. Just happened to skip over Elsa's misery, but mine? Oh no, lets capture and share it with everyone.

But it's so adorable. And cuddly. I think Aurel loves your llama costume.

Or, you know. Smother your kid, whatevs.

So, after the heir birth, Rhys remembered (and *cough* so did I) that he hadn't proposed to his woman yet. 

She said yes, of course.

Then Elsa suddenly came down with some weird spotty disease and proceeded to rub her child all over her infected, exposed skin.

Elsa: Just building up his immune system!

Elsa: Mission accomplished!

Mkay then. Better hope CPS doesn't catch wind of this.

Elsa: You totally bought a weight machine didn't you.

Rhys: Maybe.

Again. Priorities, I don't seem to have them.

Either way, between promotions and Elsa's paintings netting 700-1200 a pop, I finally built them a little living room and was able to get them a TV that didn't nest inside a penguins gut.

Elsa's pretty excited that she doesn't have to listen to her own earsplitting music to gain fun anymore.

Elsa: Excite!

She likes the action channel and watching people kick the snot outta one another and things getting blown up and catching fire. I worry.

Meanwhile, Rhys is up for promotion and just disgustingly happy with the engagement moodlet he has, so whatever Nancy is grouching about is just sailing right over that luxuriously smooth head of hair of his.

Nancy: Darling, you have to work on this lawn, its bringing property values down around the neighborhood.

Rhys: *derpface*

Nancy: Ugh. Why do I even bother.

Rhys: Don't know. This is a legacy, first gen is dirt poor. You're lucky we aren't peeing on the lawn anymore.

Meanwhile, it's time for the nooboo to age-up!

Elsa: Can't I keep him like this for a while longer? 

No. All he does is squall and poo. And squall some more.

And Aurel is all grown up! He rolled Social Butterfly *hurk* and Music Lover.

Aurel: Aweyeeees. 

He also seems to know that he's adorable to boot.

After a little make-over and some hair gel. Yep. He's definately adorable. 

Also, rocking that bowtie, Aurel.

Aurel: Course I am. 

Always making Rhys and Elsa 'work hard' at work seems to be biting me in the butt more lately.

Rhys: *groans and feet scuffle* WTB entertainment.

Just one more painting please?

Elsa: *grumblegrumblesnarl* Fine.

Ok ok, go watch someone getting blown up on TV.

Oh not you too Aurel!

Aurel: *sniffle*

Ugh, go out side and make friends. 

And this is where I found out that Aurel is some kind of silver-tongued god. Never had it easier making friends, especially with adults.

Even if it's insulting them.

Aurel: Plaid? *snickers* 

Liberty looks like she's holding back and Eliza just looks disappointed. 

Me? I had to break up the insult fest because apparently Aurel also has quite a little mean streak in him.

Now you get embarrassed?

Aurel: Oh, ah, I totally didn't mean that, Eliza.

Then he meets this lovely lady, Raven. She's got some pretty awesome traits and had this not been a Spare-acy she'd totes be Aurel's spouse. Instead, she becomes his BFF.

When they moved to the park so Aurel could meet some littles for his aspiration, she went straight to the space-ship and proceeded to do this for hours.

Meanwhiles, Aurel's been busy schmoozing his way into the cockles of this random townie kid's heart.

Aurel: One day I want to go up there, to that planet right there.

Vest Kid: Uh huh. Whatevs bro.

Back at home, Rhys and Elsa get on with the latter half of the whole till death do us part spiel. 

And they're stinking adorable while doing it.

Cute, elopement pic spam!

And then we have a hiccup. 

Rhys: Gonna fall on my face asleep here in a sec.

Well, stop dawdling and exchange rings!

Rhys: Maaaaaan.

Elsa: You could be a little more enthusiastic. 

Rhys: *squints putting ring on* You're lucky I'm conscious.

Elsa: So, too tired for a little woohoo?

Rhys: I didn't say that.

Rhys: Woah little man, you reek!

Aurel: And you smell like peaches after benching?

Rhys: Ah, touche.

Raven came to visit!

Raven: How ya doin' bestie!?

Aurel: Awesome! Let's take a selfie! Hope you don't mind I invited Vest Kid over, I need to work on our friendship too.

Then Vest Kid decided to age up. And became sad because he didn't have a birthday cake. Lets not get into wasted time I invested in you!

Not to worry. Nancy likes to stalk our family and complain about how crappy our little hovel looks compared to her mansion across the way. So, Aurel appealed to her materialistic side and looked for diamonds in the sky during their cloud gazing.

Tried to befriend Johnny, but he has the evil trait and he and Aurel had some issues with the one step forward, two steps back socializing.

So, we instead befriended Nancy's hubby.

Who probably should have been a shrink in another life.

Geoffrey: Why do you think you see a dolphin in the clouds, Aurel? Do you wish you were as free-spirited? Is it something your sub-conscious yearns for?

Aurel: I just see a dolphin dude.

All Aurel needed was adult friend number 3 and I thought, oh this chick looks nice. Oh boy was I wrong.

Purple Blazer: If you think listening to you spam 'talk about school' is something I want to hear, you got another thing coming!

Aurel: Eep!

As a side note, my game really, really likes giving my townies the mean and evil traits. Pretty much every one of the kids that age up get one of the two.

Makes things interesting but frustrating =/

*Eye of the Tiger begins playing*

Rhys: And there's that aspiration done. Who's the man?

Aurel: Mom, the kids at school keep calling you a 'cougar'. What is that?

Elsa: *sputters* Well, its because I'm... fierce.

Elsa: Heh, cougarville here I come.

And Elsa is just a gorgeous as ever. 

And just to show how well she aged, Elsa went and painted her first ever masterpiece.

Meanwhile, Aurel is back in the park trying to sway these three boys into being his friend. He seems to be doing well mostly, but there's one of them that just happens to be hot-tempered and keeps throwing insults.

Aurel: I just can't win, can I?

Aw, come on Aurel, Hot-Headed sims aren't bad. I happen to like them a lot. They seem to be the ones with the most "personality". 

Then before I can initiate anymore socializing, they all walk away. In a line. 

To do this.

I take back that silver-tongued god comment. You just don't relate to kids well, do you Aurel?

Aurel: Not when they're being plumholes.

:X

So, I leave you guys here with Rhys happily typing away on the families new computer that was acquired after he brought home another promotion. He's now working towards the sports branch!

And spying on his opponents.

Rhys: Hey! It's part of the job requirement!

Right.

Toodles!
