Welcome to part 9 of the yada yada yada you know what it is
When we left of little Floyd had just been born... and now he's been reborn *cough* see above posts for details.
Tabitha loves Floyd 2 but after a zillion tries to get him looking like Floyd did and not succeeding Thunder is just relieved he can stop watching her give birth.
After Floyd the second's birth Jewell and Thunder head off to play paper, scissors rock. And this ain't no game - they're both taking it very seriously.
If it wasn't for having a dual-tone head little Floyd 2 would be cute. But Tabitha thinks he's the bees knees.
She's over-protective too. She got really pissed when she went to put Floyd in his cot but Thunder and Jewell were blocking the way.
I decide it's time for a family outing and Floyd is left with a sitter while Thunder and Tabitha take the girls out bowling.
Jewell is the first to bowl. "YEES! I AM THE BEST!"
Let me have a look here... a gutter ball... Yeah sure you're the best Jewell.
*giggle* "Jewell sucks"
Yes so we saw Thunder.
Thunder is up next and gets a strike.
"How on earth did he manage that?" Jo asks in disbelief.
"I am the greatest bowler ever!" Thunder yells.
"You tell them baby!" Tabitha cheers
The celebration continues with a little victory dance. That's it Thunder milk it.
Jo is up next and she gets a spare.
"Yes suck that Jewell" Jo smiles and says to herself.
Maddie stays out of the family rivalry by playing with another girl who happened to be there.
And finally it's Tabitha's go and she gets a gutter ball.
"That's not right! That balls rigged! I'm a knowledge sim for god's sakes! I'm great at everything!"
After bowling Thunder takes his family out to Midnight flows for dinner.
"Here you go! Best table in the house" says the usher guy.
"Wait a minute! There's only four seats here! There's five of us!" Jo points out. Damn place didn't have a five seater table!
"You shall eat half price!"
Maddie volunteers to be the one to sit by herself. She's rather pretend she's not a part of this dysfunctional family anyway.
"I see Maddie's finally realised her place" Jewell muses as they sit down to order.
"Hey mum Jewell and I were arguing before - you can answer this question. Did I or did I not learn to use the potty before Jewell?"
"Umm well actually Jewell learnt first"
"Told her mother but she wouldn't believe me. I was born first so OF COURSE I would learn everything first"
As they were about to be served the waiter went and dropped a thing of salad all over Thunder and he was mighty pissed about it. So they ended up going home early.
The next night Tabitha had just cooked her favourite dish - chilli con carne...
"do you think it's spicy enough honey?" Tabitha asked.
Goddam that Nanny she's taking the rubbish out! That's my job dammit!!! Thunder looks at the rubbish bag with longing as Yolande takes it out to the bin.
"Thunder I'm talking to you!"
Hee hee. LOVE his obsession with everything to do with cleaning.
Tabitha was thrilled to finally go back to work. After popping out 4 kids she hasn't had much chance to earn some money for the family.
The first thing she bought with her pay was a new doggie bed for Dany which he loves.
Jo is doing friking too well at school. She's earning extra skill points all over the place and she's the first one to bring home a friend. Looks like she's the popular one out of the three girls.
Oh. He's disturbing... I sent him off home. The girls have more important things to do - like homework and sleeping.
Thunder realises he's starting to pack on the pounds and spends some time on the punching bag to get rid of it.
These girls crack me up.
It was another family dinner while Thunder and Tabitha were spending some quality time in the bedroom. "Hey Jewell wanna go watch TV after dinner?"
"TV? Why sure. I need to watch as much as I can. Because one day I'm going to be ON tv and you'll all be sitting at home watching ME!"
"I'm going to be a famous actress and win all the big awards"
Jo and Maddie shared a look. "Oh brother there she goes again"
"Jewell you are so not going to be an actress. You didn't even get a part in the school play!"
"I on the other hand am going to be a world famous adventurer and discover lost species of insects that they'll name after me!" Jo brags.
"Insects sis? You're such a nerd"
Meanwhile Dany has been starved for attention lately and has been bugging everyone in the house for treats. Thunder gives in and gives him a few much to his delight.
Maddie hasn't been doing well at school and so Thunder gives her a hand.
Tabitha has been a hell of a lot more hands on with Floyd2. She used to hate even the idea of changing a dirty diaper but now she does it without complaint.
AND - *gasp* she's even rolling wants to spend time with Floyd2! Floyd2 is kinda cute apart from the strange skin thing he's got going.
She even helped the twins with their homework.
After all the homework was done it was time for more family time and Tabitha surprised everyone by buying a playstation for them all.
"Alright! A game console! You rock mum!"
Everyone was soon hooked.
Jo started on her career in insect identification by trying to catch some fireflies with little success.
Maddie and Jewell are getting to be friends and spent some time playing outside after school one day. Jo would rather be off doing her own thing though.
Finally it was Floyd2's birthday and Thunder couldn't believe how quickly all his kids were growing up. He could remember as if it was only yesterday when Maddie was born and how much it changed his life.
Okay here's hoping he's half decent looking...!
Of course he's in one of those stupid toddler tuxedo's isn't he? Time for a makeover!
Okay NOW he looks more like Thunder's son
Aww he's a total cutie. Best genes out of the bunch so far! (Although Jewell is totally my fav)
If you're all wondering about where he got the dark skin tone it's from Thunder's dad. Looks like Thunder's father's genes are super dominant since they nearly all have his eye colour as well!
And one more shot just because he's so cute!
Will the girls ever get along?
What mischief will Floyd2 get into as a toddler?
Will the girls grow up pretty?
Find out soon!
P.S sorry for such a long update I got carried away with this one
