Chapter Twenty-Two: In which there are puppies and babies and imaginary friends, oh my!

Astrid: Ooh.
This is a great start to any legacy. :D Welcome back to the house of the Hydes.

It's a boy! His name is Berrigan Hyde and he's Good and Grumpy. His favourite colour is Grey, favourite food is Pancakes and favourite music is Pop.

He got Abe's skintone.

What's that face for?
Berrigan: Mummy is scary.

Now what?
Astrid: My phone is ringing. :/
Berrigan: O_O

Breeze: Hi, Mummy! What's that?
That's your new baby brother.

Breeze: Brother? Rats, I wanted a sister.

Uh oh. Don't look now, Breeze... you might be getting a sister after all.

It's a girl! With Abe's skintone! Belladonna Hyde is an Athletic Genius. Her favourite colour is Spice Brown, favourite food is Peanut Butter And Jelly and favourite music is Latin.

Who are you?
Briar: The third triplet. Duh.
Yes, she tells the truth. This is Briar Hyde, Loner and Genius, favourite colour Turquoise, favourite food Peanut Butter And Jelly, favourite music Indie. She is the only child in the B generation not to inherit the purple skintone.

We only had enough money to buy two cots. This is going to be a problem... wait! An idea! I shall send the dogs out to earn their keep. :D All of them have hunting skill except Butterfly, so off they go.

Success! All the triplets got imaginary friends - so from left to right. Bandy in the cot with Briar, Bolly in the cot with Belladonna and Billy in the cot with Berrigan. Breeze's IF is Beep-Beep, in case you'd forgotten.
Bolt: *sneaks into shot like ninja*

As you can see, Bolt and Brenna have both moved upstairs to sleep with 'their' humans. :D

Buzz, what have you done now?

"Buzz Hyde just burned the meal he was cooking." Ya think?!

Buzz: Hey cool, I really have set the house on fire!
Yes, yes you have. Now get away from the fire!
Buzz: Nah, I think I'll just stand here and watch it.

Buzz: Uh, Zaffie? Fire's getting kind of hot.
OMG RUN, you idiot! Where're the fire fighters?

Astrid: Buzz? Are you inside that ring of flames?
Seriously! What is going on with the fire department in this town?! Argh!

OMG finally.
Astrid: You took your sweet time getting here, Ms Super-Hot-Fire-Fighter. Pun intended.

Buzz: Will you stop spraying me, lady?
Fire-Fighter: No, you stop spraying me, kid!

Buzz: Stop screaming, bro. I'm not gonna let you burn.

Buzz: Is this thing on?

Finally. This is the biggest house fire I've ever had in Sims 3 - I was terrified someone was going to die. D:
The bin is unscathed.

GAH! Look, if someone has time to extinguish the fire before you get there... you know you're doing your job wrong.

Buzz is going to prom. :D Looking good, Buzz!

Astro: I've become an elder. Can you tell?
Nope, you look as distinguished as ever.

Breeze: It's my birthday!

Breeze: How do I look?
Surprisingly cute. :D I think Abe's face shape is one of the ones which you have to grow into. It doesn't look as good on toddlers as it does on the older ages.

Breeze's new bedroom. :D Plenty of lime, a castle theme and a bed for Butterfly.

Loooook! Beep-Beep grew up!

Beep-Beep: Nee nee nee nah!

Uh, Breeze...

Breeze: No, look, it's okay - Beep-Beep's here.
Uh huh. So you totally aren't crazy, girl.

You know there's no one there, right?
Breeze: It was funny the first time, Zaffie. -_-

Look, it's Belladonna's birthday already!

She's the first of the kids this generation to get Astrid's red hair, combined with Abe's skintone, eyes and face shape.

Briar goes next.

Wow. Okay, so remember how I said that Breeze was the throwback this generation? Yeah, she isn't. As well as being the only member of Generation B to get the albino skintone from Astrid, Briar inherited both blond hair and hazel eyes from Summer! That's Abe's face shape again though.

Berrigan!

Whoa. Just whoa. Astrid's face shape, Abe's hair and skintone... I have no idea where those eyes come from, but I would say they were from one of Abe's parents. He's the son of CAS sims, and I vaguely remember giving one of them green eyes...

These triplets are a genetic goldmine. I am so impressed.

Astrid: I'm so glad you're pleased with the genetic spread of my youngest children.
None of them got your eyes though. But Buzz did, so that's okay.

Breeze: I am a princess. Bow before me.
No, shan't. But I do love the dressing up costumes. :D

Alpaca: I'm pregnant.
Yes, that's right. She is. I decided that we should have another litter of puppies for the triplets. One of them might miss out on having a dog if we get a litter of two, but that's okay.

Our resident Death-bringer is working on his chess skills.
Bastian: I just realised how to win!
Wow. I think that's the most excited I've seen you in... ever.

And Astrid's working out.
Astrid: And I'm not enjoying it!
And she's not enjoying it.
This has been a dastardly long chapter, so I think I will leave you here. See you next time on the Hyde Legacy! And comment! And read my other legacies!
