Week 13 McGaw Family

Last week in the McGaw house: Emily changed jobs from Cooking to Paranormal; Vernardo went off to CPU; Ilia transitioned to a sassy teenager; Sebastian was born and transitioned to toddler; Ikishi went to be with his parents in doggie heaven... or um... whatever...

Hey Em, what's going on? You have a couple of birthday parties to plan for and Ilia will be heading to the university soon... should you be soaking at a time like this?
Emily: Terrell told me he read somewhere that bubble baths are a good place to de-stress and think things out.
Yes, he's mentioned that to me as well... and what pray tell is weighing so heavily on your mind... as if I didn't already know.
Emily: Everything!
Great... *dripping sarcasm* it's going to be one of those updates I see...

So Em, there is a debate going on as to who the father(s) of your children is/are...
Emily: What?! I'm not a romance sim!
Perhaps not, but you realize that you haven't told your kids who their respective fathers are and both Remi and Randy have been hanging around an awful lot...

Emily: Remington is a good friend...

Emily: Just like Randy... I can't imagine my life without these guys.

Be that as it may... the question of your children's paternity still remains in question... and your daughter grows impatient. You do realize she has become the little detective and is actively pursuing this... don't you?
Emily: Gods, no... please don't tell her... stall her if you can... I'm not ready...

Oh hey, Em... Oh! Sorry Ilia... I was looking for your mom... um, are you okay?
Ilia: *sigh* No... I heard you talking with Mom... I was hoping to learn something new...
Ah, still searching for answers then...
Ilia: Yes! And all I keep finding are things I already know. My father is either Randy or Remi and you and Mom know but aren't telling...
That's about right...

Ilia: Hey Randy! Just in time, Sebastian is itching to blow out his candles... Mom's been keeping him entertained until you got here.
Randy: I see Remington is already here.
Ilia: Yup, he didn't go home after he was done cleaning...
Randy: I see.


Happy Birthday little man!
Sebastian you're still quite the little looker... you're going to make a wonderful heir some day.

Sebastian: 'Di, thanks for my present!
Randy: It's still 'Di is it? Okay Cue ball, you're quite welcome.

Ilia, its your brother's birthday... is now really a good time to sneak out?
Ilia: Of course! Everyone is too busy paying attention to the squirt to even miss me!
Good point... and she gets away with it!

Emily: Oh I'm so happy, Ilia! You're going to love college life. I'm so glad you changed your mind!
Ilia: Oh there was no real question about whether I was going or not, Mom... it is more a matter of when... and I have a handful of scholarships so it won't be long now... you still have a promise to fulfill, I haven't forgotten... have you?
Emily: Oh right... that... about that...
Ilia: Mother! You promised! *storms out*

Where's Remi off to in such a hurry?
Emily: I asked him to go home.... we need to talk! *Emily hurries off to her room*
I uh, the kids are... *sigh* fine...

What's up?
Emily: Didn't you see? Remi's doing it again!

*flashback* Are you referring to this? Yes, he's always admired your 'assets' as Zarthane puts it... what about it?

Emily: I don't know what to do! I've never been a weak sim before... why do I do these things?

*flashback* Oh you're referring to this...

Emily: I'm no romance sim, but I can't seem to stop! I mean... things are so complicated...

*flashback* Why? Because of Randy?

You do have some dilemma going on here...

Well done on the scholarships Ilia! Your mom must be quite proud...

Ilia: Oh don't you start defending her!
What? What did I say? Geez...
Ilia: She has gone back on her promise... she promised she would tell me who my father is, and she hasn't... so I'm off to college where I don't have to deal with her 'boop' anymore!
Strong language little girl... at least say good-bye to her...

Ilia, she's right there... give me a minute to wake her up and... Ilia? Crap she made the call already... she can't hear me anymore... *sigh*

Emily and I need to have a heart to heart... so I think now is a good time to break...

Whew... that went well....
