@FrancescaFiori If you ever have questions.. feel free to ask!  I don't mind


And... I'm going to go ahead and do this and then wait to update again til late tomorrow   *adjusts halo*  8)

Addy - Whoo!  All done.  Now let's do this party and get gold!
Air - My last party needed too.
Addy - I know it's so exciting. 
Air - Think everyone is ready to play their parts?
Addy - Mostly. 


Addy - C'mon it's time to get dressed.  Some of you need to change already!
Rachel - I'm still trying to decide!
Scarlet - I changed!
Aria - I got the zipper gloves again.
Ash - I'm already in black and white.
Addy - Change!


Rachel - Okay.  I'm in black and white and now I'm ready to mingle.
Addy - Took you long enough but really we need to get rid of the gloves with the zippers. It's weird.
Rachel - It's okay.


Air - Woot Woot.  I made enough drinks for everyone in Kid Club.
Addy - Yes but now we need to make an excellent drink.  Think you can pull it off?
Air - Uhh.. Maybe.


Scarlet - Apparently there is no plan to have newspapers.  People find this odd but why is it odd?  Just means less trash lying around if you ask me.
Heath - I hear they used to tell you when people died in the community.
Scarlet - That's what the photo screen on our phone is for.
Heath - True.
Scarlet - Oh and I miss your glasses.
Heath - Me too.  You're all blurry.


Ash - There you go.  One Excellent glass of Red.
Air - Awesome thanks. 
Ash - Should we go check on mom with the cookies?
Air - Might be a good idea. Any idea on the piano thing?
Addy - I have an idea..
(( And it worked!  Have a group going at a party.. have one person play the piano "for the group"  it's awesim. ))


The fun part about having 4 clubs running simultaneously?  Lots of people to cheer on the birthday girl! Some of them.. not so fresh smelling (like Her brother in the back)


Bad part about having 4 clubs running simultaneously?  No clear pictures!
Aria - Thanks for doing this.
Air - I don't hate all of you.  I'm just peeved. 
Aria - Yeah but it certainly  makes quality of life better, doesn't it?
Air - I guess. And hey.  Two aspirations done, Career almost maxed.  Just friends, museum and the next generation left.
Aria - Yeah.. about that. 
Air - I haven't changed my mind.  I'm not getting married.  I don't want a spouse that dies on me.  It's bad enough Ash has to go.
Aria - Okay.... you can't hide from this.
Air - *blows a horn at her so he can't hear her*


(( HEY LADIES LOOK ITS HIS FACE... you know who you are.))
Addy - Why are you freaking out?
Air - I think Ash is still mad at me.
Addy - You guys just need to have a real talk not a man talk.
Air - What's a man talk?
Addy - You know that whole grunt, silent conversation you have with your eyes and then it's like.. Good Game.


Raphael - Hey I heard about the aspiration.  Grats!
Air - Thanks.  Well it's nice chatting but I'm looking for my mom.
Raphael - Yeah I heard some type of family fishing trip. 
Air - Eeyup.  Nothing like being forced to work out your issues.


Jamie - Ahh! What is this.
Addy - Eat it.  You might be made of Mint. 
(( Out of all 8 servings.. this is the only one that seemed to sprout leaves! ))


Rachebe - So why am I here?
Aria - Because you're in on most of it and it's time we clear the air.. plus you know get some more fish for Air.
Scarlet - Can I have headphones or something?
Air - Why?
Scarlet - So I don't have to hear how embarrassing or loud this might be.  And this cave echoes. So even whispering carries.
Rachebe - I have no fishing skill.
Aria - You'll figure it out.


Scarlet - *as quietly as she can*  You have to move the bobber.
Rachel - Huh?  Oh.  Sorry.
Scarlet - Distracted huh?  Why not go pick up all the rocks and stuff while you're here?
Rachel - Good idea.. after a few minutes.




Synchronized Treasure finding!  Too bad it was all snapdragons!


Air - This isn't going to work.
Ash - It already is.
Air - Shut up.
Ash - *chuckles*
Aria - Hey.. Big Red says we have to go home.  He needs to tell us something.

*TIME WARP*
It's just a jump to your left.
Then a step to the Ri-i-i-i-ight.
With your hands on your hips
you bring your knees in ti-i-i-i-ight.
But it's the pelvic thrust..
That really drives you  ins-a-a-a-ane.
*TIME WARP*


Ghost Doc - Good to see you again Mr. Grim.
Artie - You know.. you would think as a Doctor you would understand how to move on.


Receptionist - Hey Mr. Grim.
Artie - Hey Judy.  You're still here too huh?
Receptionist - Yep!
Artie - We seriously need the ghost hunter profession back.  Send people home to the netherworld. 
Receptionist - That's not nice.  Guess I won't tell you about the computer that's back in the birth room.
Artie - Aww I'm so glad I don't get to learn about that.


Ghost Doc - Mr. Grim.  Those computers are for us to use to update medical records.
Artie - I'm updating yours.  Making sure it says deceased.. as in ready to go away and make way for living doctors.  Who wants a doctor that died?
Ghost Doc - Anyway.. Don't you worry about a thing, hun.  I'm going to get this bun out of the oven for you in no time and then you can go home.


Artie - Yeah, you're a real professional.  Put that back!
Ghost Doc - Whoops.. wrong thing!


Aria - Hey!
Artie - What?!
Aria - Get out of the way!
Artie - No!  I want to hold her!
Aria - She's my grandchild!
Artie - So?


Aria - Addy!
Artie - Now don't go telling on me.
Addy - *can't breathe from laughter*  Children!


Aria - Make him let me have a turn.  I have to go to work.
Addy - I know you showed up at the hospital for some reason!
Artie - Alright Alright.  Here you go. Now remember.. big poopy diaper for Grandma.


Aria - Oh aren't you the sweetest.  It feels like forever since we had a little one in the house.
Addy - Not since Scarlet who will be out of high school before the weekend is over.
Aria - Just in time for a double birthday, I think. 
Addy - I think you're right.


Baby Girl - *starts snoring*
Aria - Aww.  My little sleeping beauty.
Addy - *chuckles* Time for work. And here comes Mommy..

That's a great love-triangle situation. I wonder who will won Rachebe. Or Air will manage to get Ericka. Can't wait for next update and to see all things clear-up.

Yeah, you be careful with that halo. Wouldn't want a flying growfruit to come knock it off or anything. *grumble grumble* picture limit *grumble*

What devious images, always perfectly angled, concealed, or distanced just right to mislead the reader--or this reader, at least.

I giggled at Heath's comment about not wearing his glasses. What realism, lol.

When Artie was holding his newborn grand-daughter with one hand up, I thought he would proceed to steal her lollipop. But he didn't, which can only mean that's not a thing in TS4, I guess.

*Rechecks the delivery room for reflecting windows.
Nope, I guess we just wait until you privilege us with another update.  *taps fingers on desk impatiently

Thank you!  I know some people like the suspense.  And I have fun with it.  I promise that it will be over soon.. for a little while anyway.

<3 <3 It's tomorrow!

Wait, I think I know! Oh my, what a twist if it is what I think it is. My head will explode if I don't find out soon! Evil, Rica >:D
  Do you know or is it all just a carefully displayed ruse?  That's the real question.   I do know what I'm doing after all ;)

Sadly.. there are no lollipops in this game.  There are a lot of things I wish they would add for the traits.  Like the ability to laugh maniacally on command by clicking the person or some of the other things that the various traits give as options.   
Oh well..


Oh look.. an update

Ash - Hey man I heard the news.
Aria - She's gorgeous, sweetie.
Air - Thanks guys.  I can't believe it really happened.
Ash - You and me both but it's done now right?
Air - Yep and we have little cutie to raise.


Aria - Oh sweetheart.  I'm so happy for you.
Air - You mean happy for us?
Aria - Yes but you seem to have found what you were looking for.
Air - I really did.


Artie - And then there was this huge explosion...
Lorena - Is there a reason you're naked?
Artie - No.
Lorena - Going to put on your clothes?
Artie - Hadn't planned on it.
Addy - I'm bringing the baby down, put that away!
Artie - Aww.. but I like my censor.  Thanks to those books I never see it.
Addy - We don't need to see it.. put it away! Or I'll lock her away.
Artie - *grumbles, puts on clothes-


Artie - Oh.. look at that smile for your granpa.
Addy - I think that's just gas.
Artie - You're just gas. 


Artie - Look at her, Cliffie.  Isn't she beautiful?
Clifton - I'm not sure you should hold her like that..
Artie - You didn't answer the question.
Clifton - Of course, she is.. watch her head.


Artie - There we go sweetie.
Clifton - Sorry.. didn't mean to freak out but.. they're so tiny.
Artie - And wiggly.  I know.. you get nervous around new people.  Just thought I would share.
Clifton - Thank you.. Can I go now?
Artie - *laughs* Of course.


Scarlet - Hey little one.  So tiny and cute.  I can't wait to have one just like you.
Addy - It's going to be a while.
Scarlet - I know.  Markus isn't even old yet.
Addy - Besides you're young.
Scarlet - My  birthday is tomorrow.. *goes into baby voice*  Just like yours.  I can't wait to see what you look like..
Addy - None of us can really.


Scarlet - Sweetie. you know tonight is our night we'll be able to really do stuff until your birthday.
Heath - I know.. I got me an older woman.
Scarlet - Heath!


Scarlet - I'm trying to be serious.
Heath - And I'm trying to let you know I'm not worried and that I think you're---


Heath - *squeals*
Scarlet - *tickles him*
Heath - You're not funny!
Scarlet - Then why you laughing!


Air - *makes baby sounds at the baby*
Baby - *blankly stares at the weird man*
Addy - *snickers*


Rachebe - Hey there beautiful.  Look at you just a sweet little perfect bundle of joy. 
Addy - So what you think?
Rachebe - I think everything seems silly in hindsight.  But considering the result I'm not sure anyone would change anything.
Addy - I agree.


Scarlet - New relationship selfie!
Heath - Cheese!
Addy - Apparently Blicbloc takes their selfies..


Missed the first kiss.. got the second one!


Scarlet - Coast is clear.
Heath - *snickers*  I can feel her eyes.
Addy - It's what I do.. I watch.


Heath - You really mean it?
Scarlet - I gave you the ring, didn't I?
Heath - Yes you did.  Guess that means I'm yours.
Scarlet - Yep.. break my heart and I send the red guy.  And your Dad.
Heath - Oh I won't.  Trust me.


One thing about having people over all the time is that someone is always there to help out.. even if they never actually do what's needed.
Carolyn - Shh Shh Shh
Baby - *screaming*
Addy - Don't rock her.. change her diaper!


Jayla - Are you guys playing Don't wake the Llama or don't blink?
Table - Yes.
Kim - I'm going cross-eyed.
Markus - That will not help you win.


Addy - Whoops.. missed the sparkles.
Scarlet - Yay.. I'm an adult.. no more school.
Air - Congrats!

Bassinet - *wiggles*
Baby - *giggles*

One thing for sure, the baby will be gorgeous like her parents!

In the beginning, is Artie dong the "Show off baby" social (which I've never tried)?

Scarlet and Heath are so cute--now Scarlet may never change that top!

Yes, Artie is doing the "show off" social to Clifton and it's so awkward!  Plus you know the faces.  Clifton seemed nervous.

I know I know.. I've been mean.  I couldn't help myself when I had this brilliantly evil idea to keep it going but I know that I can't keep you all guessing for a very long time besides it kills me not to hear your responses to the reveal. 

A lot of the pictures I took were done in a way that could either hide the truth or promote a truth that I wanted.  In truth, I was hoping they would come out that way and I seemed to succeed but the problem was *I* knew the truth so it was hard to tell one way or another how well it would go.

So here.. I give you the Update of Lost images.   The one that shows some of the "behind the scenes" and those I removed from the chronological order of my usual updates.




Larger Text Version


Rachebe seemed VERY glad that woohooing with Alistair was over.


Air - Peeing on a stick is undignified.
Addy - Yes but it means we don't have to guess.  We know.
Air - I'm going to eventually have to get him back.
Addy - They were all planning it.
Air - All of them?!
Addy - Yeah.  Your mother, Ash, Artie.  Rach was part of it kind of.. They convinced her it was the only way.
Air - Just because I said I didn't want a partner?!  It's not like I wasn't going to bring in the next generation.
Addy - I think it was more they didn't want to wait for you to bring in the next generation.  Things are slowing down you know.
Air - *grumbles*


More shots of Air pregnant - We have officially entered the 2nd trimester.


Aria - I can't believe it.  You're really pregnant.
Air - We both know you were plotting this.
Aria - Well yeah but it still baffles me as a doctor.  It's a recent evolution you know.
Air - Uh huh.


Alistair - *waddles away*
Aria - *giggles*  I don't know why you won't let me check the gender!
Alistair - I want a surprise!


Addy - Level 8! 
Air - Yep.. only one more gold party  to go  with 2 more career levels and then just the fish.. or the books.  Most likely the Fish. 
Addy - Did you gain weight at work?
Air - Shut up.. I'm not fat.. I'm pregnant.


*Post Rachel Birthday party*
Air - So.. did you have fun with the photos?
Addy - You know it!  Wow.. you're like.. so huge now.
Air - Not funny.
Addy - Like.. I'm surprised you don't break your back. 
Air - La-la-la-la-la Meanie


Rachel - Oh.. did you feel that?
Air - Only all day and night.
Rachel - That bad huh?
Air - Energetic kid.. wonder where he or she gets that.
Rachel - Huh.. I don't know.


Air - *randomly* You did this to me!
Rachel - Hey.. Calm down!
Air - No!  I'm in pain and I'm uncomfortable and I'm not sexy anymore and it's all your fault.
Rachel - Sweetie.. I think you look great.
Air - Don't you placate me!


Air - Oh boy.. shouldn't have done that.  I think I strained something...
Addy - *chuckles* Or You're in labor..


Air - Ow.  In labor.. definitely in labor. 
Aria - Hey.. you calmed down yet.
Air - No.. Call Big Red.. Let's go home.


Rachebe - *finally panics* Ahh!  It's time!


Clifton - Oh man.. I do not want to be you right now.
Air - I know.  And you better get seen.  I don't want your illness near the baby.
Clifton - I'll try.


Air - Oh man.. This is reeeeally uncomfortable. 
Addy - Aww but you got the pinkish gown and booties. 
Air - I want it out.
Addy - The doctor is coming.  Why not lay back?
Air - Good idea.


Alistair - Aww.. Would you look at her?
Artie - One.. two... *camera clicks*  What's her name?
Alistair - I was thinking Aurora.


Artie - We can call her Briar Rose.
Abby (Rica's Niece) - No.  It's Aurora.
Artie - Sheesh, tough crowd.

*TIME WARP TO THE END OF THE LAST UPDATE*


Addy - Ta-da!  Oh.. cheer up honey. 
Aurora - I don't even know why I'm frowning.
Addy - I don't either but how about a trip to the mirror!
Aurora - Okay!


Hair fixed!  Though the outfit she aged up in was adorable.. so we kept it.


Every Day - Formal - Athletic


Sleep - Party - Swim

And yes she has brown eyes.  Not surprising considering Air and Rachel both had them.  (remember his eyes are "contacts"/facepaint )

I was gonna chant "NO MORE FLESHBOOS" but that sounds pretty gross. But she's blue! We're back to our scheduled colorful programming. ;)

Alistair makes the greatest facial expressions!
And I think he looks very sexy when he's pregnant!

Welcome to your crazy house, Aurora! Generation 4, at long last!
