During the night, Ella got her second confirmation that her time with Johnny had been successful. She ran down the hall, into one of the children's bedrooms, and into their connected bathroom to throw up instead of using her own private bathroom right across the hall for her room. Ella did realize it was silly to run so far, and when she woke up a second time during the night she made use of the closer toilet.
Even though it had only been a day since most of her family had lived together, Ella was missing her mother and siblings greatly. It was relieving for her that it was Snowflake Day. It gave Ella the opportunity to throw a gift giving party. She set the celebration up as soon as she got out of bed. It was a little before noon when everyone started to show up.
It was also just as Adelaide and Edwin walked in the door that Ella pregnancy-derped. Luckily, her pretty dress is coded for maternity wear so Kelsey doesn't have to worry about editing her outfit each time she becomes pregnant.
Ella was rather disappointed in how the party turned out. Even though she invited all of her family, only Elwood, Adelaide, Peter, Charlie, and Edwin showed up. So it seemed anyway. Elwood, Adelaide, Peter, Charlie, and Edwin explored the new house before everyone sat down at the table to start opening up the gifts.
It was only when most of the gifts were gone and the party was almost over when Emmeline and Hershel decided to make an appearance. They weren't able to get the interaction to open presents seeing as how they had come so late, and simply wandered about for a while before leaving around dinnertime.
As Hershel had aged up to a teen, I edited him to have his hairstyle and preferred color of clothes. I probably should have waited until he wasn't giving a weird smile before taking a picture, but given how generally unattractive Joe was, that Hershel has turned out as good looking as he has is pretty nice.
It was after Ella went to bed that the alarm started going off. Now that the house was a lot nicer looking, it had drawn the attention of those with low morals who wanted the goodies inside. The thief stood around for a few seconds. She then ran back out the door to escape being caught by the police.
As the next two days passed, Ella placed speakers all over the house so she could listen to the children's radio no matter which room she went into. Her goal was to have multiples. Ella really didn't want to slack on the childbearing seeing as she was going to have it much easier than her mother, but Ella also secretly wanted to beat Emmeline's total. If she couldn't at least match the amount of her children, that would be rather sad indeed.
Being an obviously inexperienced mother, Ella realized only after the birth to her triplets that she probably should have waited before trying to have so many at once. All of her new infants were hungry when they were born. By the time she was done giving birth and feeding, Ella was exhausted. The oldest triplet is Emberly, who is on the right. There's the only boy, Rowan, in the middle, and the youngest triplet, Hazel, on the left.
Ella had a rough two days while her triplets were infants. She had no idea how Emmeline managed to cope with her, Edwin, and Kenneth, but she had forgotten her mother had had older children to assist her. Being constantly exhausted, all Ella knew was that she had definitely gotten in over her head.
It was both a blessing and a curse for her when her babies had their birthday. Ella liked that they slept through the night, but that didn't mean much for reasons I'll explain in a second. All three triplets inherited Ella's eyes. Emberly had Johnny's hair, Rowan had Ella's hair, and Hazel got Tyler's wacky coloring. It was when I saw the mermaid scales on Rowan and Hazel that I realized Johnny had been a mermaid in addition to being a witch. I was actually quite confused for a long time as to what Supernatural each child was. Emberly was the easiest to figure out. She was a werewolf through and through. Rowan was a witch and merman just like his father, but Hazel was a mermaid, witch, and werewolf! That's NRAAS' mods for you. The conjoining of the three caused a lot of issues for me though. Rowan had some issues as well. When the triplets became teens in the game, I had to set Rowan and Hazel strictly as witches to clear everything up.
But that's getting ahead of ourselves. Like I was mentioning earlier, that the triplets now slept through the night didn't really help Ella too much. She spent every second her babies were awake working with them desperately to teach them all their skills before their next birthday came. It was not a job for one person only, and Ella's Energy meter often fell into the red. Even then she couldn't sleep. Because she was so busy with the triplets, she had to leave her own needs and the needs of the house till the last minute. Ella would spend what sleeping time she should have had filling her empty stomach, getting a shower for her stinky self, or doing other things like picking up what the lazy maid had left behind. The poor girl never got a decent bit of rest.
Ella wasn't the only one who had begun to make babies. I received a notice saying that Charlie's woman had given birth to twins. His woman happened to be Sunglow Morning, one of the Berry Sims I placed into the town. While I was checking out Sunglow's house to see the twins, I discovered her mom, Canary, had had another child. She gave birth to this girl you see here, but I didn't write down or remember her name.
Here is Sunglow with her and Charlie's older son. I didn't write down or remember this child's name either. It didn't feel important enough, and I was kinda in a stressed mood from dealing with Ella's triplets.
This is the second son, whose name I also do not know. As Sunglow had one of the Scatter Genes skins, this boy got one of the green colors that was included in the spectrum.
As the days passed by very slowly, Ella started to get tiny bits more of the activity known as sleep. I didn't want to get her pregnant again just yet, but I knew she had to have another baby or lose precious time. Ella, lacking a store of baby daddies, had no choice but to call over Waylon Wolff to be the next donator. His appearance was rather frightening, but considering that Ella was the daughter of a werewolf, that she had a werewolf brother, and that she had a werewolf daughter it didn't really bother her.
Waylon was more pleasant to look at in his human form as well.
Instead of getting sleep, Ella spent that night making friends with the toilet.
Rowan wanted to play with the toys that were downstairs, but was trapped by all the steps.
After a bit more work, Emberly, Rowan, and Hazel were taught everything they needed to know. With their birthday and a new baby right around the corner, Ella took her chance to finally get some much deserved rest.
The triplets are SO CUTE!! Hazel is my favourite, I love her pink hair and scales
