Knightstone Household: Chapter 8, Part 3
I'm back and so is my alien family! Adam tries to teach Silas how to potty, Suzanna finishes her new garden and family day (because not everyone has mothers or fathers in my save, just like the real world) comes with ups and downs.
Nicknames
Suzanna is Mummy or Starlight
Adam is Pops or My Heart
Silas is Starshine
Pollock is Pol or Moondust
Suzanna gets started on the mammoth task of planting the new garden. There’s a lot to set up, including the most recent plants from the visit to Sixam. Unfortunately it would appear that we don’t have any loose UFO’s so can’t replant that one. Silas initially comes to help, but his only option is talking to the plants not playing in them. Boring! He pretends to cook for a while before channeling his Pops and creating another painted masterpiece.
Inside Adam gets Pollock ready for bed. Following some nice milk, Pollock burps without spitting, making Adam very happy. That is short lived however as the diaper change is a putrid horror (Come on EA, why doesn’t my squeamish sim get a negative moodlet when he has to change diapers[hold up he does eventually just not this time]). Once clean, Adam gets Pollock settled in his crib and plays the traditional lullaby in this house, twinkle twinkle.
Silas: *singing* we drop some blue over here, then splash some yellow yellow yellow
Adam: What are you doing
Suzanna: He’s being an artist, just like his Pops
Silas: I make pretty like Pops does, see Pops?
Adam: What a clever little man. And you remembered to do it outside! Good job
Silas: Pops think it good? Do I get 5 stars?
Adam: I think it’s great. Five stars for sure *to Suzanna* I’m just going to try show him how to pee properly again before bed
Suzanna: *chuckles* rather you than me
Silas: Pops, why can mummy not show
Adam: Silas... Mummy and Pops have different parts. My pixel parts are like you and your brother. Mummy has different ones
Silas: Oh. Why Pops?
Adam: Biology questions are best left to your Mummy
Silas: Bi -olo -gee *laughs*
Adam: Now, are you watching how I do this
Silas: *puts on game face* Yes Pops
...
Adam: And of course… most important part is ALWAYS wash your hands afterwards
Silas: Why Pops?
Adam: What comes out of our pixel parts can have germs
Silas: Why Pops?
Adam: Umm... biology? We want to wash germs off before the germs end up in our mouths and make us sick. Washing our hands keeps us and our stuff clean
With encouragement from Adam, Silas does his potty business without getting puddles over the floor.
Silas: Pops… I can’t reach for hands
Adam: Would you like me to lift you up
Silas: YES! Then I clean like you
Following a splashy hand washing Adam holds Silas above the crib to say goodnight to a sleeping Pollock. Changing to pyjamas Adam makes sure Silas is snuggled in soundly, and wishes him happy dreams.
*Satellite Whirs*
Adam: Take that UFO aliens! No abducting us tonight!
Suzanna: Really Adam?
Adam: I’m just trying to keep the population safe
Suzanna: Sure
Adam: Are you ready to go to bed? Test drive the bed placement?
Suzanna: Almost. I have a bit more watering-
Adam: Go to bed, I can finish it
Of course Suzanna swings by the nursery to kiss her sons goodnight before heading upstairs. By the time Adam is finished an exhausted Suzanna is snoring softly.
Adam: *chuckles* I love you
Pollock unlocks sleeping through the night but is still awake at 4am. With nothing much to do he has some solo tummy time, unlocking the creep milestone! Glitches abound as Family Day only appears for the kids and Adam, not Suzanna? Then Pollock somehow calls Adam from a separate floor and resetting Adam plops Pollock onto the floor. Whoops. Realism? Never heard of her
Despite not being able to grab yet Pollock happily plays in the bookcase, causing a swirl of dust to kick up.
Silas: Pol you want to- Pol?
Pollock: *cooing wildly*
Silas: *laughs* I like to make mess to
Adam: Okay, who's making the noise
Pollock: *sucks thumb innocently*
Silas: Pops! *runs for hug*
Adam: Good morning son, happy family day
Silas: We get gifts?
Adam: Later on you do, and so do me and Mummy
Suzanna: Aren’t you a clever clogs, getting out of your crib with only the watcher’s help
Pollock: *coos*
Suzanna: Let’s have some milk. Then Mummy will have breakfast and we can try more food huh? How about that?
Pollock: *burps*
Silas: *singing* We like the pancakes. We like, we like the pancakes
Suzanna: Here we are, safe and sound
Pollock: *coos greetings at everyone*
Adam heads out for a run, happily undisguised today. He’s hoping not to get any funny looks.
Suzanna: Let’s try some… hmm.. Mango? We don’t even have mango in game! Oh well, what do I know
Pollock: *coos questioningly*
Suzanna: Don’t worry Moondust, Mummy’s just talking to the watcher. Okay, open wide for the spaceship
Today however Pollock is not in love with the offering, being unable to make up his mind about it. He decides to play with it instead.
Adam enjoys his run. Sure enough the few sims he passes don’t even bat an eye at a jogging alien.
Suzanna: Mummy just has to have a shower but she’ll be right back okay *blows raspberry*
Pollock: *laughs and bounces legs*
...
Outside Silas has returned to his artwork from last night. He adds more of the same colours and throws in some extra ones for fun.
Once Suzanna has cleaned up for the day she carries Pollock out to his playmat and begins to tend to the growing plants.
While Adam finishes off his run and goes to write his column for work, the rest of the family spend time in the fresh air. Pollock plays in the shade and grabs his toys all by himself! Silas meanwhile mans the food truck while Suzanna studies the plants. A hop, skip and a glitch later Pollock is off the playmat and scoots to the garden to play in the growing plants.
Silas busies himself at his kitchen again, wondering if he can make pancakes. In the end we have a... sticker covered rock.
Silas: I made pancake with choc chips
Suzanna: Oh yeah you did! Great job
Silas: It pretty just like mummy
Suzanna: Aww, thank you Starshine *snuggles* Now how about we... open some presents?
Silas: PRESENTS???
Suzanna: The watcher told me it’s family day (but of course there's the bug which means holidays are still only registering for 3 sims per household)
Let’s see what we have. Silas gets a child's doctor playset, good thing his birthday is approaching (seriously who set up that toddlers could get children's toys). Suzanna gets Phozone, which she already has a ton of. Adam gets… well whatever it was, it was so normal for sims I have already forgotten it (It was one of those bears holding a heart). Suzanna gets Pollock up from his nap and gets him in the bath. Like normal he’s fascinated with the bubbles, trying to blow them around as Suzanna cleans him up.
Adam: Pollock has almost finished in the bath. Shall we have a bath or a bubble bath
Silas: NO. Not want bath! Boring!
Adam: *tuts* I see the problem, I phrased it as a question. But too bad! You’re having a bath Silas
Silas: No Pops! NO! *foolishly runs away into the bathroom*
Adam: What the- Get back here you!
Suzanna: *sighs* Isn’t it good you can’t run Pollock, hmm? Shall we do a bedtime story?
Pollock: *coos*
...
Adam: Silas! I am extremely disappointed in you my son
Silas: Huh? What's dis ap... disappa...
Adam: Disappointed! It means you've made me feel sad and mad because I thought you were better than this kind of behaviour. You have a brain, use it
Adam: Personal hygiene is important! I told you this yesterday
Silas takes a moment to think about what Adam has said, then he gets mad.
Silas: No! Pops is wrong! I not need bath! I have no stink cloud. I still good behaved
Adam: It’s about avoiding the stink clouds Silas
Silas: *throws fit*
Adam: Stop it! Now you can take off those overalls, or I’ll take them off, but you best believe you are having a bath mister
Silas: NO
Adam: I guess we’re taking them off together then
Silas: *pouts* I dis pointed
Suzanna comes in to clean the changing table after reading Pollock to sleep and is amazed to find a happy Silas patting bubbles.
Suzanna: Adam? What… happened
Adam: Once he got in the hot water he *flinches* remembered he likes to splash. Memory of a bloody goldfish
Silas: *splashes wildly and sings* I splish splash, you splish splash, ducky splish splash
Suzanna: Here’s hoping he remembers that for next time
Adam grumbles to himself as he continues getting soaked by Silas. When the bath is finished Suzanna volunteers to take over and Adam storms out of the bathroom leaving a confused Silas to be dried off.
Silas: Mummy, why Pops dis pointed
Suzanna: *sighs* You were behaving badly Silas. Pops was trying to help you, it was rude to run away and throw a fit. He was just disappointed because he thinks you're very smart and very nice
Silas: I show Pops tomorrow, promise
After a rushed dinner and bedtime Suzanna goes in search of Adam and finds him painting upstairs (in my mind she's absolutely drinking some tea during this scene).
Suzanna: Hey you. How you doing after Silas...
Adam: *sighs* I'm better now. I painted my anger without smashing through the canvas, and now it seems I’m much more flirty. Watcher Starlight I was just... so... mad! Why couldn’t he just get in the damn bath when I asked? He likes baths!
Suzanna: Because he’s a toddler? Remember My Heart they don't have fully grown brains yet. We have to teach them how to do things. Unfortunately kids don't come with software telling them to do what their parents tell them
Adam: Yeah *sighs* I guess I’m just worried Starlight
Suzanna: About having a temper?
Adam: Sort of. I'm worried that one day I’ll get mad and flip out and they’ll hate me forever
Suzanna: I could flip out to you know
Adam: *scoffs* As if
Suzanna: I could! Every time I pick up Pol and he cries and hits me I get mad. He’s an infant, he can’t get places by himself. Of course I have to pick him up, he would die otherwise. Why does he have to be so bloody stubborn about it. It makes me feel like he hates me, like I'm a failure
Adam: You could never be a failure to me. But I am glad to hear it’s not just my hold he hates
Suzanna: *chuckles* Yeah he’s definitely not a snuggler. Maybe I should copy you and try painting my anger away
Adam: Painting, writing... The help me focus outside of myself
Suzanna: Hmm. I guess working on the garden gives me a similar feeling. It's as if- oh shoot
Adam: What?
Suzanna: I forgot to call in a day off for Silas' birthday, one sec
Adam: My wife voluntarily missing work? Next you'll say pigs can fly
Suzanna: I want to be here for Silas, and Pol. I know you don’t want more kids, heck you didn’t want these two, and I’m going to do my best to respect that. It just means I want to spend time with them while they still want to spend time with me
Adam: Hey... I’d like to spend some time with you *raises eyebrows*
Suzanna: *laughs* You’re such a dork
Adam: But you love me and I love you
Suzanna: Hmm, this is true
After woohoo the two fall asleep in each others arms, glad to have found each other on this small hunk of rock.

Knightstone Household: Chapter 8, Part 2
In this part Adam lets his fellow aliens (all carried to term by humans) know how the trip to Sixam went... The Knightstone's get ready for a change of scene and attempt a family dinner time.
Nicknames
Suzanna is Mummy or Starlight
Adam is Pops or My Heart
Silas is Starshine
Pollock is Pol or Moondust
Background Aliens (Pulled into the game as aliens by MCCC, from several gallery simmers)
Marianna: You went and there was nothing? Really?
Adam: You think I would joke about crap like this
Yolanda: Adam... Is it possible you calibrated the wormhole wrong
Adam: No! My wife doesn't do stuff wrong
Larain: Maybe they are just shy and-
Katherine: Why do you keep giving them the benefit of the doubt? What more could they have done to let you know you're not wanted? Nothing, because they've made it crystal clear
Nihel: But there’s got to be a reason they left us here in our carriers. You don't just abandon your team
Adam: Not everything is a team sport Nihel
Skinner: Perhaps you merely appeared on an uninhabited part like the deserts of Earth
Adam: No Skinner. There was some sort of structure, well, flooring…
Katherine: Oh goodie, flooring! Maybe we can all go there and admire the floor of the traitorous bastards
Yolanda: Calm down babe. We can’t conclude anything yet
Adam: Bull. We can conclude they don't care about us from the minute we leave their ships
Nihel: Skinner, you’re the oldest. What are we meant to do now
Skinner: I waited so long just for some of us to reach there. I had always assumed we would find others on arrival
Larain: But maybe they were just hiding
Katherine: You’re an idiot Larain
Marianna: Do we just… give up looking to our stars for answers? I don't want to be a quitter
Yolanda: We can’t. This is our history we’re talking about. Adam?
Adam: I never expected a welcoming committee with a red carpet but I thought there would be… someone. I need to some alien to look me in the eye and tell me what was worth dumping me in a human. How can we get answers from no one?
An uncomfortable silence falls over the group as they all absorb the disappointment. They may have different personalities but at heart they all want a why.
Suzanna: Pollock’s finally asleep. What did I miss
Katherine: Larain being stupid, Neil being naive, Skinner being useless, Marianna existing, your husband giving bad descriptions and my wife telling me to calm down
Nihel: It's Nihel. I just don’t want to give up. But you know what we do in human sports? When the team is down, you regroup. You work on building the team up rather than focusing on your opponents
Skinner: A sensible idea
Larain: What idea
Katherine: *scoffs* well miss brainless, I believe Neil-
Nihel: For the hundredth time Katherine, my name is Nihel
Katherine: Oh whatever, screw human names! Point, he seems to be suggesting we group up on Earth if we can’t group up on Sixam
Suzanna: Like… make an alien colony on Earth?
Adam: Why the heck would we do that
Yolanda: I think it’s a good idea. If we all move to the same area we can make spaces where out kids can be young aliens without judgement. We shouldn't give up on answers but... we need to adjust to the idea that Earth might be the only place we can have a home
Marianna: I don't know. Are we really safe anywhere? Is there any place on this rock that doesn't have humans being high and mighty
Silas takes the opportunity to run into the room and pull at Suzanna's pants.
Silas: Mummy, mummy… flash cards!
Suzanna: Okay but mummy is still going to listen to the talk while we do it so could we do flash cards quietly please
Silas: *nods* I be quiet, I good
Adam: Maybe we need to do what Yolanda says and make our own safe place. I want... I want my boys happy to be aliens
Larain: I did hear about this place-
Katherine: Oh my watcher, will you please stop talking
Silas: Ball!
Katherine: What did he say to me?
Suzanna: *rolls her eyes at Katherine* It is a ball Silas, well done. Remember we're being quiet now
Silas: *whispers* yes Mummy, sorry Mummy
Marianna: Maybe you should let Larain finish her thought
Katherine: When has she ever finished a thought?
Silas: *whispers* Food
Suzanna: What type of food
Silas: *whispers* Cake
Suzanna: Close Starshine, so close
Silas: hmm… cuppy cake?
Larain: There are aliens in Chestnut Ridge
Adam: How would you know that? And why wouldn't you mention it earlier
Larain: They gave me the message in my mind. They want to meet us. There's already quite a few there
Katherine: *scoffs* Sure there are
Marianna: I think we should try. If we’re to be stuck on this planet, we may as well make a place for us
The group of aliens have a vote and decide it may well be in their best interests to make their own area, a space where they can be in human form or alien form without people freaking out. Skinner lived in Chestnut ridge for a time long ago and found it a friendly and accepting enough place. If there is indeed an alien sub population it could suit them.
Suzanna: How about this one *holds flashcard with car*
Silas: I know, I know! A Does Not Exist!
Suzanna: Well done, you got it!
With the company leaving, and Silas having enough of flashcard practice, Suzanna sets about packing.
Adam: What are you doing
Suzanna: You heard the consensus, we’re going to Chestnut Ridge
Adam: Already?
Suzanna: I know you’re squeamish but-
Adam: It’s not that. It’s just... I really like this house
Suzanna: If you want to keep it I’m sure the watcher could take it with us
Adam: No, I need to be able to let things go. A fresh start could be good. Anywhere with you will be
Suzanna: It could be good for your anger My Heart. The open air, not having to disguise before every run
Adam: Are you implying my human form is unattractive
Suzanna: No, definitely not. Your form makes me weak at the knees, you know that
Adam: Good. Because I find your human form delectable. Even if we are moving somewhere more tolerant, let’s keep using them from time to time, okay
Suzanna: I think we can manage that. The boys will need practice changing obviously, who knows where they’ll want to go when they’re older
Suzanna: Pollock is napping, Silas is distracted... help me pack?
Adam: I was going to start this new art painting
Suzanna: Help me pack a little bit. How about… the bed?
Adam: Oh you want to "pack", got it
Silas plays with his toys while his parents definitely do not pack the bed.
When they’re finished they get the boys in the yard for a quick photo before heading off.
Suzanna: Home sweet home
Silas: It big Mummy
Suzanna: It is. Two floors, plus a basement
Adam: Mummy loves basements
Silas: Why
Suzanna: I feel safe I guess (she's a paranoid sim). But, we’re all going to be safe here, even if we’re not in the basement
Pollock: *coos*
Before heading inside we take a few cute porch photos. I couldn’t believe I didn’t have any wall photos of the four of them from last rotation, ridiculous! I do now!
Suzanna: How about some nice mushroom soup? Pops made us a big batch
Silas: Yay! Shroom soup
Adam: Silas, I know you know the full word. Speak properly son
Silas: Mush-room soup! *begins singing to self about mushrooms*
MILESTONE MUSIC
Suzanna: What the heck was that?
Adam: It’s okay Starlight, just Pollock reaching a milestone
Silas: Lift me up! I want to see
Suzanna: Silas, no! I just put you in there, you’re staying put
Silas: Boo! *pouts*
Adam: Enough of the suspense son, what can you do now
Silas: I eat Pop Pops *giggles*
Adam: You know I meant your brother. Don’t be smart just because you’re smart
Suzanna: Thanks Adam, that's clear as mud. He’ll definitely learn the lesson. Come on now Silas, start eating
Silas: But I want to SEE
Pollock: *laughs*
Adam: Was that it?
Suzanna: His first laugh! Oh he’s getting so big
Adam: Enjoy it because you know we’re not having another one
Adam: Hold still son, better take a video
Suzanna: I think we need to work with him on a disguise
Adam: He looks human, doesn’t he?
Suzanna: Yes but Adam there’s biology
Silas: *eating and singing* Laugh shroom laugh, laugh shroom laugh
Adam: You know I don’t have a science brain
Suzanna: Basically his skin should be somewhere between our shades, he’s too pale. Get him to try your human skin colour
Adam: Come on Pollock, think… darker thoughts?
Pollock: *cries at the indignity of it all*
Suzanna: Cheer up Moondust, you’ll get it. You’re still very young
Silas: Smile Pol. I get my marking con… con.. con fuse id
Suzanna: Confused Silas
Silas: Confused?
Adam: That’s it son, good job
Silas: My pat ins not match in my disguise, Mummy and Pops still love. I love you *blows kiss*
Pollock: *bursts into laughter and smiles*
Silas: *singing* I love Pol, I love Pol smile, I love Pol laugh
Adam: How come Pollock gets all the love
Silas: He my brother
Adam: I don’t have any brothers
Silas: *looks horrified* You… no have brothers
Adam: Nope. Neither does your Mummy
Suzanna: That we know of
Adam: What do you mean
Suzanna: Well think about it *waits for Silas to become distracted by Pollock again* If they could implant us in carriers, they could easily put clones of us, or siblings of ours, in other carriers
Suzanna can see the wheels turning in Adam’s head, revving up his anger. Maybe it wasn't the best thing to say but the thought had occurred to her and she wasn't about to start keeping secrets from the one she loves.
Adam: Damn it! As if I needed more reason to-
Pollock: *coos*
Adam balls is fists up and starts banging them rhythmically on the table edge. Stupid bloody aliens. Watcher he wants to smash something.
Suzanna: Adam... My Heart, why don’t you try some food out with Pollock huh?
Adam: *breathes deeply* Yep, yep, distraction
Silas: What Pol try now
Suzanna: What do you think Silas? Your ice cream guess was pretty good
Silas: Mummy turn to guess
Suzanna: Okay then. Grab some applesauce from the cupboard Adam
Adam: Time to open up Pollock
Pollock: *is confused*
Silas: Not right dad
Adam: *groans* so what am I doing wrong now
Suzanna: Nothing Adam. Perhaps Silas meant to say you should try making spaceship noises
Silas: *makes spaceship noises*
Pollock opens his mouth hesitantly making eye contact with Adam.
Adam: What do you know. Okay son, here comes the spaceship! Open wide for a good landing. How is it? Do you like it?
Pollock smiles happily, he loves applesauce! Adam continues to feed him and after a while Pollock notices the food droplets on his high chair. This calls for patty cake time!
Suzanna: I should probably get the new garden set up but I can do bedtime if you need a breather
Adam: No, I’ll do it. It might help me calm down, normality. If I have a- nevermind, not thinking about it, i'm just not going to think about it
Pollock: *poops self*
Adam: *smells it* Exactly son, exactly. You go garden Starlight, I got the kids
Silas: Me help, me help!
Adam picks Silas out of his high chair and sets him down on the ground. Following a quick hug from the lovebug toddler Adam turns his attention to getting a bottle ready for Pollock.

Knightstone Household: Chapter 8, Part 1
I missed them a lot! My aliens differ from my human sims in that I let them have alpha hair. In this part the family spend some time together before Suzanna and Adam make the first trip to Sixam.
Nicknames
Suzanna is Mummy or Starlight
Adam is Pops or My Heart
Silas is Starshine
Pollock is Pol or Moondust
Had a few false starts (I had to stop an alien abduction, can you believe the audacity???) but otherwise found the family bubbly.
Silas: Mummy, come! Mummy, come!
Pollock: *coos*
Silas: Mummy! Hurry!
Suzanna: Calm down Starshine, I’m here. What’s happening
Silas: Pol gonna do cool thing
Pollock: *coos happily*
Silas: You do it Pol, you do it
Suzanna: *yawns* Do what
Pollock: *coos*
Silas: He gonna do it
Suzanna: He’ll have to do it soon because it’s 3am. Silas we need to get you to bed
Silas: Mummy, Mummy, watch!
Suzanna: He has rolled over before Silas. Are you trying to do something else Pollock? Because if not it is beyond bedtime
Pollock rolls with a grunt and twists himself up into a seated position. He sits now!
Silas: See Mummy see
Suzanna: *sleepily* Well done Moondust. You’ll have to show Pops in the morning, yes you *yawns* will
Pollock: *coos happily*
Suzanna picks Pollock up off the playmat and tries to usher Silas to bed.
Suzanna: Silas it’s bedtime now
Silas: But Mummy-
Suzanna: Me and Pollock will be in soon
Silas: Good. We brothers, we share room
Suzanna watches Silas toddle off with a smile, glad her babies are getting along for now.
Pollock: *cries*
Suzanna: Oh! I know, I know, you want to wiggle free. But you must be hungry now, how about some milk huh? Will that make things better?
Pollock fills up on milk then spits out some with his gas, just to remind Suzanna that being held is actually the worst thing in the world. Suzanna musters the little energy she has and tries to settle him.
Suzanna: *playfully* Hey now Mr grumpy face, are you grumpy? Are you a grump grump?
Pollock: *coos*
Suzanna: I know what’ll help. One, two, blast off!
Suzanna rocks him through the air, and blows a raspberry for good measure. Sure enough the session ends with a smile from Pol.
Silas: Mummy you forever
Suzanna: Did you remember to use the potty
Silas: Yes Mummy. Can Pol be in with me
Suzanna: I’m sorry Starshine, Pollock is still too little to share. He needs his own space
Silas: *sighs* yes Mummy
Suzanna: Goodnight Pol. When you wake up tomorrow Pops will be here to say hi, yes he will
Silas: Night night Pol, night night Mummy
Suzanna: *chuckles* Goodnight my Starshine. Happiest of happy dreams, may they carry you through the galaxy
With both kids asleep Suzanna heads to bed. Half asleep is Adam who was not on infant wrangling duty tonight.
Adam: Did they fall asleep okay
Suzanna: Shh, go back to sleep my heart, this is a dream
Adam: It does feel like it *proceeds to snore*
Suzanna: *chuckles* I love you
6am rolls around and both Silas and Pollock wake up (they both have the early riser quirk).
Pollock: *yawns*
Silas: Morning Pol. You sleep good. We have fun fun today. I find something together for you and me
*alarm clock blares*
Adam: I wish we could just turn it off with our mind
Suzanna: You and me both. *sighs* Today is finally the day Adam
Adam: *quietly* Sixam
Suzanna: Sixam
…
Silas: That why best toy is-
Adam: How are my dudes this morning
Silas: Pol wants tension
Adam: Attention my son, attention
Silas: *sings to self* attention, attention, we want attention
Pollock: *coos*
Adam: Do you like your brother’s singing Pollock? He’s very good isn’t he (the first time Silas sang Adam thought he was malfunctioning)
Silas: Mummy mummy, how you? You beauty
Suzanna: *laughs* are you coping Pops again huh
Silas: Yes, Pops say I charmer like him. Mummy can I has food
Suzanna: Of course you can. What do you feel like
Silas: Cereal?
Suzanna: You know Pops doesn’t trust cereal, we better see what’s in the fridge
Adam meanwhile takes Pollock who needs a new diaper to the changing table (I’m sorry Adam I forgot you were now squeamish)
Adam: *grits teeth* Let’s do this dude. Now… be cool, be cool
Suzanna: we have some fruit salad, how does that sound
Silas: Good Mummy, you eat with me?
Suzanna: Absolutely
Silas: Pol eat with us?
Suzanna: Maybe. He is able to sit now so we cold try some food when Pops has him ready
...
Adam: Be cool, be cool-
Pollock: *coos as pee goes everywhere*
Adam: *dry heaves* dear watcher that’s horrid
Pollock is zero percent concerned by Adam’s dismay.
Silas: Mummy, you and Pops go Sixam today?
Suzanna: Yeah, we’re going to check it out for you. Maybe meet some more aliens
Silas: Tell other aliens I say hi and I best brother and I want be friends with them
Suzanna: *chuckles* Deal Starshine
Silas: Mummy like to hear my welcome song for other aliens? I practice
Suzanna: Dazzle me
Silas: *clears throat dramatically* Ol Gabby had a frog, eggplant, eggplant. Ol Gabby had a frog, leopard tiger heart
Suzanna isn’t sure how that ditty works as a welcome song but cheers for Silas just like she always does.
Adam: Here we are, one free of pee infant
Suzanna: Congratulations on surviving
Adam: It was a close call, I almost drowned
Silas: Yay Pol here, Pol here! *sings to Pollock*
Adam: And what am I? Invisible? You didn’t have cereal did you
Suzanna: Of course not. I think I should try Pollock with some food before his milk, he might feel like it now he can sit up
Adam: Sweet. I’ll grab breakfast then
Silas: Mummy, mummy, try yoghurt! I like yoghurt, Pol will like yoghurt
Pollock: *looks around in confusion*
Suzanna: 3, 2, 1… we have liftoff! The spaceship has successfully launched, flying through the air with its yoghurt surprise
Silas: *giggles*
Suzanna: Come on Moondust, open wide for the spaceship *makes spaceship noises*
Pollock opens his mouth to coo questioningly but before he can, in goes the yoghurt! He’s startled at first, what is this stuff that’s not milk? Whatever it is… it does taste nice.
Pollock: *coos happily*
Silas: See Mummy, I said Pol like yoghurt
Adam: Appears he does, good call little dude
The next spoon has too much on it, and yoghurt falls out of Pollocks mouth. He find this fascinating and immediately begins to pat at it in wonder, making Suzanna laugh and Adam recoil.
Silas: Pops, will other aliens like us? We from Earth not six… six…
Adam: Sixam. Who cares if the snobby aliens don’t like you just because we’re from earth? It would be their own fault anyway for leaving mummy and me in humans
Suzanna: *tuts* Adam, really?
Adam: Why should he think they’re not snobs? They left us here
Silas: Pops… mad at aliens
Suzanna shoots Adam a quick look between spoonful’s, letting him know to choose his next words carefully.
Adam: We don’t know them son, it would be *looks at Suzanna and sighs* silly to be mad without knowing them or why they left us
Silas: So Pops not mad
Adam searches for the right words. He’s pissed at whoever implanted him in a human and moved on, but Silas was born from love. He shouldn’t have to inherit Adam's burden of hate. Luckily, as often happens, Suzanna swoops in and saves him before he can let his anger get the better of him.
Suzanna: Pops has lots of emotions Starshine. When you get big, you’ll understand that it can be very tricky to sort through them
Silas: Okay Mummy
Once let out from his high chair, Silas wanders over to an already free Pollock who is gazing at the computer. Silas decides to have some fun and blows a few raspberries on his little brother's tummy.
Suzanna: Come here Moondust. I know you don’t like to be held but we’re getting some visitors later and they’ll need to hold you while Pops and Mummy visit Sixam. We have to practice. You can go in the back carrier while I garden
Silas: Mummy, I come in garden. I play truck
Suzanna: Could you sing me a song while you play truck
Silas: *smiles* YES! I sing for you
So Suzanna sets about tending to the garden. Pollock is quite happy right now, his disgust over being held doesn’t outweigh it. Adam also steps in to help garden since he knows if he doesn’t Suzanna won’t be ready to leave until the afternoon. He would rather get the trip over with. Find some alien to complain to, job done.
Yolanda: Sorry if I’m late
Suzanna: You’re not, I only just finished the garden. Okay Pollock, this is Yolanda. She’s a very nice alien, just like us!
Pollock: *coos nervously*
Adam: We better head off. You’re in charge my son
Silas: *laughs* Yes Pops
Yolanda: Can you say bye to your parents Pollock? Can you say bye bye Mummy? huh?
Pollock: *cries*
Suzanna: Adam... maybe we shouldn’t go
Adam: You’ve been waiting for this for forever, we’re going. Yolanda will keep the children safe and you know little dude just cries at the drop of a hat
Through the wormhole we go!
ON SIXAM
Suzanna: Wait... did I calibrate it right?
Adam: Of course you did
Suzanna: But My Heart, if this is Sixam… where are all the aliens?
Adam: My guess? Probably hiding in shame for implanting innocent babies into unsuspecting humans
Suzanna: I know we seem to have landed at night but you think there would be at least one… Or some buildings...
Adam: We can look around Starlight, but they’ve disappointed me all my life
He turns and speaks the next part into the empty air.
Adam: Why should aliens suddenly be helpful? Sure, my wife worked her ass off to reach the top of the scientist career, and we’ve traveled through a wormhole to their HOME planet. But hey... why face up to the babies you abandoned if you can just hide
Suzanna: Adam…
Adam: Starlight let’s just see what we can forage, or find, or whatever us geeks do. We’ve come all this way, may as well make sure we get something out of it. I want you to get something positive from this
Suzanna: I want that for you to. Maybe if we-
But Adam has already started to storm off. Suzanna watches him, knowing it’s best not to interrupt him when he’s in a rage. He’ll only say stuff he regrets later. Turning around, no longer looking for aliens like herself, she takes time to look at the scenery. She does love how the trees here seem to glow, and the mushrooms seem to pulsate with magic. As a scientist she knows they’re not magic, but she can dream.
Suzanna checks out a nearby crater completing the space aliens collection! She should be happier about this, being a geek, but she still feels sad. After spending several hours checking out the plants, geodes and crystal sites Suzanna is feeling spooked by the eerie quiet. The stillness is unnerving. No birdsong, no crickets, nothing. She sets out to reconnect with Adam and finds him kicking his heels back by the wormhole generator.
Adam: Sorry I snapped earlier but.. it’s just… *sighs deeply*
Suzanna: So much less than we dreamed
Adam: Yeah. I just wanted someone to look me in the eye and tell me why they left us inside humans on a planet that doesn't like aliens but… there's no one. Will we never have answers?
Suzanna: My Heart… we don’t have to stop looking for a why
Adam: I know I'm not super smart or anything but it just makes no sense. You and me, we’re able to make kids. Why do UFO aliens need to violate humans, then never check in on us our whole lives long
Suzanna: I don’t know. But we’ve hung about here enough for one day huh? Let’s go home
Adam: *sighs* yeah, home. Where aliens are few and far between and humans make you feel ashamed for existing. That paradise
Suzanna: We'll invite the other earth born aliens around. Someone is bound to have an idea of what to do
Adam: They're idiots, none of them are half as smart as you. If you're stuck they're bound to be
Suzanna: Maybe but there's not many sims who know what it's like to grow up like we did. You shouldn't be too quick to cast them aside
Adam: At least if they come over I'll have someone to yell at
Suzanna: *chuckles* That's the spirit

Knightstone Household: Chapter 8, Part 6
In this part Suzanna tries having a yard sale, Pollock reaches another key milestone and Suzanna has her first shift at the top of the scientist career.
Nicknames
Suzanna is Mummy or Starlight
Adam is Pops or My Heart
Silas is Starshine
Pollock is Pol or Moondust
If Pollock is trying to babble real words they will be in brackets
Silas: Look at him crawl! I taught him how to do that
Suzanna: I’m pretty sure it was me
Silas: No, it was me, the best brother
Adam: And he’s so humble as well
Silas: Thanks for getting the piano Pops
Adam: Thank your mum as well, I don’t do finances by myself
Silas: What’s finances
Suzanna: A fancy word for money
Following dinner Adam tries to teach Pollock how to stand.
Adam: We put our feet flat, no flat. Flat like a pancake
Silas: I ha no I at (I have no idea what that is)
Suzanna: *from in front of the TV* He doesn’t know what pancakes are yet
Adam: Right. Can you put your feet down son, yeah like that. Now I can feel you pushing on my arms, can you push through your feet, push!
Silas: Come on Pol, you got this
Adam: And I did so well... that he’s crawling away from me
Suzanna: *still focusing on game* It’s okay Adam, you tried
Adam: Yeah I did, I’m a good- oh look, look!
Suzanna: Kind of fighting a boss right now, can you describe
Adam: *in sports commentator voice* Pollock is approaching a chair and appears to be focusing on the seat. He’s thrown his arms on to the seat
Suzanna: Go Pollock go
Adam: And we have lift off! He’s standing Starlight!
Suzanna: That's won- Oh my watcher die already you piece of poop!
Pollock: *cries*
Adam: I know you’re tired after that, I know. But we have to-
Pollock: *cries and pees everywhere*
Adam: Oh that is so yuck
Pollock: *giggles*
Adam: Yeah you can laugh, you don’t have to clean yourself up
Adam ensures Pollock gets completely full before shepherding an exhausted infant to bed.
The next day Adam sorts out Pollock again as Suzanna has broken plumbing to fix. Once Silas heads off to school Suzanna begins trying out more food with Pollock.
Adam: What’s he trying now
Suzanna: Pumpkin. I think he likes it
Adam: Way to go son
Suzanna: Could you grab the produce from the garden this morning? I really want to see if I can get him to grasp the spoon
Adam: Sure thing Starlight. Okay Pollock, be grabby! Pretend it's a nice big butt
Suzanna: Adam! Really?
Adam: A butt... that is attached to a consenting sim
Suzanna: Smooth recovery
Suzanna: Here come the mashed peas Pol *spaceship noises*
Pollock: Ge na ma (bring them to me) *grabs for spoon*
Suzanna: You did it Moondust! You know what this means
Pollock: no ear (not really)
Suzanna: We can try some delicious banana slices! You can pick them up all by yourself. Here comes the first one, open wide *spaceship noises*
Pollock giggles in excitement and closes his mouth around the squishy offering. He likes it!
Suzanna leaves Pollock to work his way through the banana pile and heads to the garden to see Adam. While he’s still harvesting she begins to spray the errant bugs.
Adam: Did he do it
Suzanna: He grabbed the spoon! He’s growing up so fast. He better not be grabbing any butts soon
Adam: *chuckles* tell me about it. I can't even imagine how I'll handle them dating
Suzanna: Thank the watcher that's years away
Adam: I’m thinking of trying to finish off my second book today
Suzanna: Oh can you keep an eye on Pol while you write? I need to get rid of some excess collectables and I thought I could have a yard sale
Adam: Yeah sure thing. Just make sure no one comes inside the house
Suzanna lets Pollock out and tells him to go find his Pops in the study. He crawls down the corridor and into the room where he settles down to play. Adam is pretty focused on his writing but makes sure to say stuff to Pollock now and again so he can confirm the infant is still in the room. After a while though Pollock is tired out and lies down to nap.
Here we are. All of Suzanna’s excess MySims trophies. Not a one has been cloned. All found in the pursuit of that final one which will complete the collection. Suzanna tries a 25% markup and calls out for customers. A few start approaching and she tells them the benefits of having MySims trophies available for purchase.
Suzanna: No random treasure hunting for the one you want, simply step up and pick it! We have rare ones in stock as well as beloved common favourites!
More sims approach to view the table. Suzanna manages to convince most of them to buy, raising her charisma skill to 3. It would be great if now that we have Home Chef Hustle yard sales could let us know the final profit as I absolutely lost track. The sale is still going when Silas gets home but Suzanna eventually has to wrap up as all the talking sims have her feeling very paranoid. What are they talking about???
Suzanna: How was school
Silas: Good. Some kid kept throwing paper at me but then the principal visited and got hit instead. No more pelting after that
Pollock: Me boo la tu *pushes plate off high chair*
Adam: Hey! That’s not cool little dude
Pollock looks at his hand in astonishment and bursts into tears.
Suzanna: Adam...
Adam: I didn't mean to make him cry, I was just trying to tell him not to do that. He's making a mess
Suzanna: Let’s wait until he’s a toddler to discipline him, huh. He can't properly understand words yet
Adam: So it’s no to cocoa puffs. How about some Oaty O’s while Pops cleans your mess
Silas: Tell me again what it was like on Sixam
Pollock thumps his fists.
Suzanna: It was empty but beautiful. The trees pulsed with light and the nearby moon was so close it felt like you could reach out and touch it
Pollock grips the edge of his plate.
Silas: When can I go Mummy? I want to see. I can help look for aliens
Pollock moves his hand, the plate heading towards the edge of the chair.
Suzanna: Let me and Pops check it out some more first
*plate falls to the ground with a thud*
Adam: Pollock, again! Really?
Pollock fusses angrily in his seat. He wouldn’t need to do this if they would just feed him banana.
Suzanna: Come here mr grumpy face. I think someone needs a fun bubble bath! Who wants some bubbles?
Pollock: *giggles* umm bi ub (Mummy bring bubbles)
Suzanna: There now, yucky food doesn’t hurt us now does it? No. It’s not so offensive
Pollock: *giggles* ub ub (bubbles my bubbles)
Suzanna gets the kids to sleep while Adam works on some impressionist paintings on the balcony. He’s not feeling too inspired so they’re mainly normal quality today, but the gallery is always willing to buy them.
In the middle of the night Suzanna was woken up by her breasts feeling uncomfortably full. She heads down to the nursery and gently wakes Pollock up for a feeding.
Suzanna: *whispering* we need to be quiet so we don’t wake your brother up okay
Pollock: *yawns* um um
Since his diaper needs a change Suzanna gets him in a new one before heading back to bed. Despite not liking being held Pollock still enjoys some cuddling and kisses from his Mummy.
Suzanna: And I just want to say again, I am so sorry about the faulty ghost goo
Shelly: Meh, it’s in the past. Scientists experiment, it’s just what we do
Suzanna: Hey I was thinking of heading to Sixam this shift, want to come with?
Shelly: I think I’ll feel safer here
Suzanna: With Faye
Shelly: *laughs* She doesn’t hate me so I can survive
Suzanna shrugs and goes to upgrade the lab wormhole generator so that she can use it for travel, her personal one is safely at home.
Faye: Enjoy going back home
Suzanna: Sixam isn’t my home Faye
Faye: Whatever alien. Don’t talk to me
Suzanna: Can’t we just-
Faye: I know you’re the boss but it doesn’t mean I have to like you. Or talk to you. Leave me alone
Suzanna: *sighs* okay then. Wish me luck?
Faye: I hope your stupid invention breaks and strands you
Suzanna: Good talk Faye, good talk
Arriving on Sixam, Suzanna is sad to see it just as empty of aliens as when she and Adam visited. She figures she shouldn’t waste the trip and begins to collect what she can. She knows Adam is sad about the lack of answers the planet has provided, and truthfully, she’s upset as well. Are the aliens they’re descended from just some kind of space pirates? Happy to procreate, and just as happy to abandon. At least she manages to complete her geode collection, so something happy comes from the trip.
When Suzanna makes it home, despite what Faye may think about it, she is glad to see a pile of elements have been extracted from some of her excess minerals. Nine down, five to go. Pollock is busy showing off his standing when Suzanna gets inside. She goes and scoops him up despite his protests.
Suzanna: Moondust! I missed you today, yes I did. Mummy had to deal with a grump and all she could think was she’d much rather be dealing with her own grump. Who’s that? Is it you
Pollock: *laughs* umm foo foo (Mummy is fun)
Adam: Rough day
Suzanna: Yeah. I’m so glad to be home Adam. Do you want to just order some pizza
Adam: Why not? I have cooked all week, and Silas will be pleased
Silas: Pizza! Maybe we’re not actually from Sixam, maybe we’re from pizza planet
Suzanna: From inside a claw machine
Silas: Yes!
Adam: *in alien voice* The clawwwwwwwww
Suzanna: *in alien voice* The claw is our master
Both Parents: *in alien voices* The claw chooses who will go and who will stay
Silas: *laughs* Can we watch that movie later
Pollock: *patting* ge la buun
Adam: How’s your piano practice going
Silas: Pretty good. I cracked level 2, but I really want to work on my mental skill. Can I have a toy to help with that
Suzanna: We’ll have to see
Pollock: *pats* yon a ew na (yoghurt melts are as good as banana)
Suzanna: Night night time I think. Someone’s up past bedtime
She scoops up a flailing Pollock.
Adam: We wanted to leave dinner until you got home
Suzanna: Thank you, I do appreciate it Adam
Silas: It was my idea Mummy
Adam: I thought you were busy practicing
Silas: *deliberately plunks on keys*
Suzanna: Thank you Silas
Suzanna copes with another pee disaster but manages to shepherd both boys to bed while Adam hangs the washing and finishes off the vacuuming.
Adam: That’s the last of the chores
Suzanna: Thanks for moving here Adam
Adam: Huh
Suzanna: Faye was getting angry-
Adam: You should just fire her
Suzanna: So she can sue me? No thanks. But she reminded me how grateful I am to have you, and our kids, and this house in a town half filled with aliens. We may not have found home on Sixam but you’re making us one here, with me
Adam: Of course, I love you
Suzanna: I love you to. Now bed or… woohoo
Adam: You know my vote
With the household asleep we leave the Knightstone’s for this rotation.

Knightstone Household: Chapter 8, Part 5
Today Silas heads off for his first day of school, Suzanna works with Pollock to try reach more milestones and Silas wants a real piano.
Nicknames
Suzanna is Mummy or Starlight
Adam is Pops or My Heart
Silas is Starshine
Pollock is Pol or Moondust
If Pollock is trying to babble real words they will be in brackets
Adam: Did you let your brother get a good sleep? He’s got a big day today
Pollock: Ye ra po (yes Pops)
Silas is sitting having breakfast still in his disguise.
Suzanna: Are you going to wear your disguise to school
Silas: Probably Mummy. I don’t want to hide that I’m an alien but for my first few days I’d rather not stick out
Suzanna: Your choice. We'll see you when you get home okay
Silas: Yes Mummy, look after Pol for me
Suzanna: *chuckles*
Adam: So he’s been fed and changed, all set
Suzanna: Thanks Adam
Adam: No worries, I just will be busy cleaning before my shift
Suzanna: Of course, now Moondust, who’s ready to try some… ice cream!
Adam: Wait... Ice cream for breakfast?
Suzanna: Not breakfast. You said it yourself, he’s already had milk
Adam: I don’t know Pollock, sounds like she’s trying to fatten you up already
Suzanna: Nothing wrong with a chubby infant Adam
Suzanna goes to get some carrots to try next while Adam begins to vacuum the house. Pollock wonders what is going on and in the end is overwhelmed by the noise, bursting into tears.
Suzanna: Do you have to vacuum just there Adam
Adam: You know queuing it for nooks and crannies can be tricky
Suzanna: Come on then Pollock, we’ll head outside and let Pops clean
Suzanna scoops Pollock up and Adam calls after them.
Adam: Sorry son, good luck calming down
Suzanna: You can go here with all the stars and mummy will just pump before she tends the garden. Go on Pollock, touch the stars
Pollock: *giggles* Noo be star (I’m with the star)
Suzanna: You said star? You said star! Well done Moondust, you’ll be talking in no time
Pollock: Fo star um (Stars are fun Mummy)
Inside, Adam makes sure to get rid of the basement dust. Outside, Pollock spends time happily batting the stars around before switching to some solo tummy time. Suzanna happily tends her garden but can’t help wondering what’s happening at the lab while she’s using her watcher given maternity leave.
Pollock has his nap while Adam goes to work but Suzanna wakes him up just before Silas gets home.
Suzanna: Let’s have some milk then we can go see how Silas did on his first day, huh? Won’t that be exciting
Pollock: *burps*
Suzanna: I knew you would agree
Pollock: *giggles*
Suzanna: How was your day Starshine
Silas: Pretty good. Although my teacher told me off for not doing an assignment
Suzanna: ...but it was your first day
Silas: Exactly! They didn't like me pointing that out. Anyway we did some art after lunch and I made you something
Suzanna: You did? Okay let’s have a look here. A unicorn picture? Oh it’s a masterpiece. We’ll have to make sure we show your Pops huh, he'll be impressed
*grinding noise*
Suzanna: Stupid washing machine. I have to go fix it, could you watch Pollock for a minute? Unless you have homework
Silas: I’ve already done my homework Mummy
Pollock: He la boo (Hi brother)
Silas: Hey Pol. Have you been good today? I bet you missed me, I missed you *blows raspberry*
Silas takes a seat at the table and begins pulling funny faces. Pollock happily giggles until he covers his face.
Silas: Pol? Do you need a rest
Pollock: *removes hands* BOO
Silas: *laughs* Oh you scared me good! Are you the peek a boo champ now? Are you?
Pollock: *giggles happily*
Silas: MUMMY! Pol learned how to do peek a boo
Suzanna: He did? That’s impressive when he normally bursts into tears if we try. Could you set the table while I take care of somebody’s diaper? Your Pops should be home really soon
Suzanna takes Pollock to the nursery bathroom where he does his best to scoot away.
Suzanna: Oh no no no, we are not having another blowout Moondust. Come here!
Pollock: *giggles and scoots*
Adam comes home with good news, he’s reached level 9 of his Art Critic job, Syndicated Superstar. But even superstars have to make dinner.
Silas: Hey Pops, you know how you got me that piano book for my birthday
Adam: I do. I wanted to get you guitar but your mum told me I’m not allowed to make you a clone of me
Silas: *laughs* I don’t mind learning piano. But Pops… I think it would go better if I had… you know… an actual piano to practice on
Suzanna: Okay Pollock, I know you don’t like being carried. So can we try to crawl? Crawl for Mummy
Pollock: Do at ow (Do what now)
Suzanna: So you’ll need to push, push yourself on to your hands and knees, just like when you learned to creep
Pollock: I ow (right now)
Suzanna: Come on Moondust, crawl to Mummy, crawl to Mummy
Pollock: *tries, fails, cries*
Suzanna: Is dinner ready yet
Adam: As soon as Silas stops distracting me
Silas: Hey! I’m helping Pops
Adam: And…
Silas: *sighs* and trying to convince him to get me a piano
Suzanna: An actual noise making piano? You do remember we have a sensitive infant
Silas: But Mummy he won’t be an infant forever
Adam: Tell you what, you do the dishes and your mum and I will talk about it
Silas clears the table while Suzanna gets Pollock ready for sleep then she tucks her eldest in bed.
Silas: I lost my tooth today Mummy
Suzanna: Did you put it under your pillow
Silas: Yes. Do you think the tooth fairy will really come
Suzanna: You just wait, when you wake up you’ll see they came
Adam is messing about upstairs when Suzanna heads up to bed.
Suzanna: You want to get a piano for our kid who can't play
Adam: Can't play yet. And not just a piano. I seem to have lost my guitar in the move so I need one of those
Suzanna: *smiles* Then it’s good you got a raise with your promotion huh
Adam: Are you impressed
Suzanna: I don’t know. I think I’ll have to see more of your talent to decide
Adam: Deal
The tooth fairy did indeed visit Silas and he scored some sweet simoleons. Other tooth fairy propaganda of course but mainly simoleons. Since Suzanna did bedtime Adam gets Pollock up and fed before taking him for a morning bath. It seems like Pollock is all smiles today and Adam remembers what Suzanna said about needing to enjoy the time. Yeah, Pollock as an infant is pretty cute.
Adam: All clean, time to get on with our day
Adam puts Pollock down by the blocks. Pollock scoots over and begins trying to pick them up, laughing to himself the entire time. Adam meanwhile tells the delivery service where to place the piano and begins breaking in his new guitar. The cloud will definitely be something to get used to.
Out in the garden Suzanna is delighted to find that several of the plants are ready to evolve. It may have been all replanted with the move but it’s coming along nicely. When she heads inside she finds that Pollock has learnt a new skill, putting his foot in his mouth. Then we have some routing drama (post to follow because I lost my mind) and only get things resolved as Adam leaves for work.
Suzanna gets Pollock settled for his nap and pumps as he drifts off to sleep. Silas is delighted to arrive home and discover the piano. After his homework he sits down and begins plunking away. While Pollock continues to sleep Suzanna starts on a task she keeps putting off, necessary upgrades. First up are some additions to the sink.
Next up, the oven needs a tune up. Of course all that meddling with the sink has left puddles over the floor. Thank goodness these ones are just water (iykyk). Suzanna wakes Pollock for a dinner bottle then, when Adam arrives home, the family take a human picture together on the porch.
Adam cooks and Silas sets the table while Suzanna again works with Pollock. With oodles of encouragement he… falls and rolls on to his back. Then from lying down he begins to sparkle, the milestone music starts, and we officially have a crawling infant!

Knightstone Household: Chapter 8, Part 4
In this part we have Silas aging up to a child during an alien filled birthday party, which is ultimately thrown off track by an unfortunate event.
Nicknames
Suzanna is Mummy or Starlight
Adam is Pops or My Heart
Silas is Starshine
Pollock is Pol or Moondust
If Pollock is trying to babble real words they will be in brackets
Someone is not excited for a morning raspberry (I should have recognised this as the omen it was but I absolutely did not).
Adam: Good Morning. Happy Birthday Silas
Silas: Pops, can I have bath for my birthday?
Adam: What?
Silas: I not mean to make you dis pointed when I not want bath last night
Adam: *chuckles* I have a hot-head Silas, it's something Pops has to try work on
Silas: But can I has bath
Adam: Please try to keep the water in the tub this time
Adam: Silas had a bath for his birthday, he doesn’t want presents
Silas: No, NO! Pops lie
Suzanna: Well it’s a good thing we already got some stuff then isn’t it
Silas: So…. I do get gifts?
Adam: Nope, not even one
Silas: Pops!
Suzanna: Not until your party Starshine
The family work their way through breakfast and Adam lets Silas out while he busies himself making the birthday cake.
Pollock and Silas go outside while Suzanna tends to the garden. Suzanna harvests and Pollock balances… or tries to balance.
Silas: You want to walk Pol? You can copy me
Pol: ca la do dah (I don’t want to be carried)
Suzanna: Oh Moondust did you just babble
Silas: Mummy what is babble
Suzanna: It’s like… trying to talk… but instead of proper words you’re getting used to making sounds
Silas: When can he talk? I want him to talk
Pollock: Ca ru la dun (Balance legs, balance)
Suzanna: We’ll have to wait and see
Suzanna, taking the day off work, sets off for a quick run. The boys are in the backyard and Adam can see it from the office. On her way out she spots what looks like Kayleigh in the distance (Kayleigh is her friend, and aware she and Adam are aliens)
*Doorbell rings*
Adam: The party doesn’t start until- Hey!
Kayleigh: Hey! You’re having a party?
Adam: Silas turns 6 today. We wanted to invite local aliens for Silas to chat with but you are more than welcome to stay. I made coconut cake
Kayleigh: Now how could I turn down coconut cake? They'd kick me out of Sulani
Silas: Hello plant, how are you today
Plant:
Silas: That is nice to hear
Pollock: *snores*
Silas: It is nice to meet you
Plant:
Adam: What are you doing son
Silas: Practicing saying hi. Do I sound human Pops?
Adam: Try not to worry about that today, we'll be mainly with other aliens
The guests start arriving and the household, apart from a snoozing Pollock, change to their party clothes. Silas takes the chance to have one last proper playtime with his Pops before Suzanna comes to collect him for his cake.
Suzanna: Are you ready to get big
Silas: Yes Mummy but gifts-
Suzanna: The gifts will be there afterwards. Come along Starshine
The aliens (plus Shelley Turner and her daughter) make their way through the house to the backyard for the celebration.
Suzanna: Ready to make a wish
Adam: He can’t
Silas: Pops?
Adam: We have to sing first
Silas: *giggles* Can I sing
Suzanna: We sing to you Starshine but if you want to sing to then you sing along
Adam launches into a rendition of Happy Birthday and Silas gets excited. He asks Suzanna to help him with the candles as he can’t reach quite high enough. And then, he grows up!
Silas rolled the music lover trait and the Whiz Kid aspiration. Red is a new favourite colour but I just couldn’t go past this shirt for his party outfit.
Silas: Who are your parents again
Tyree: Over there. Skinner and Larain
Ruth: My parents are Yolanda and Katherine
Tyree: No they’re not
Ruth: What?
Tyree: You have to have a dad
Ruth: *rolls eyes* Not with modern technology you don’t. Clearly your parents failed to educate you (and clearly someone inherited their mother's sass)
The only humans here other than Kayleigh are Shelley and her daughter Anya who are new neighbours.
Shelley: Just don’t make me look bad in front of my boss and you’ll get a raise in you allowance
Anya: But Kelly’s parents-
Shelley: Anya, enough about that kid! You'd think you have no other friends
Adam: Hi there, I don’t think we’ve met
Shelley: I’m Shelley Turner, this is my daughter Anya. I work with Suzanna and we saw you move in. We just live across the way
For a minute Adam looks like he's trying hard to remember if Suzanna mentioned her, but then he remembers! How could he forget?
Adam: Oh Shelley!
Shelley: *sighs* yes, the woman who tried ghost goo only to become a permanent ghost for a while
Skinner: A ghost! But you are now human again? How fascinating
Shelley: It really wasn’t. Thank goodness the watcher got their act together and fixed it
Nihel: You’re who?
Myrtle: We live just across the fields. My husband was successful talking to Larain telepathically to extend our invitation to the area
As if on cue Myrtle's husband Armando joins the aliens on the deck.
Katherine: Larain was right? First time for everything I guess. Nobody tell her
Armando: Oh I already did, telepathically and in the study
Katherine: *rolls eyes* fabulous
Adam: Well I’m glad you invited us, it’s lovely here
Armando: It is! The population is roughly 50% alien in Chestnut Ridge so the local humans are used to things being odd, people of all colours being out and about, it's perfect for raising a family
Suzanna: Hey there Moondust, how about some milk
Pollock: coo na ma ree (Yes for milk)
Suzanna: Let’s go have a nap huh? Away from the noise
But as Suzanna settles Pollock on her arm something goes wrong. He is far more squishy than normal. She decides a diaper change is in order but the stink cloud is already forming.
Marianna: Oh Suz- Are you okay
But Pollock’s diaper has suffered a blow out and there is no coming back!
Suzanna: Oh no, please don’t-
Pollock: ca luu do *pee falls to a puddle on the ground*
Suzanna: Oh come on watcher! I thought we did his diaper a few hours ago
Katherine: That is disgusting
Suzanna: Yes Katherine, thanks for letting me know. I would not have come to that conclusion by myself
Katherine: I’m just sayin Suz
Marianna: Why don’t you take him inside? We can keep an eye out for Silas and-
Katherine: You can decontaminate yourself as fast as alienly possible
Silas is less than pleased with his brother upstaging him at his own party by pooping himself so Nihel ushers him and the kids inside, distracting them with some video games.
...
Armando: You should come and visit us sometime, bring dinner
Myrtle: If you tried cooking it with us we’d probably have to kick you out
Kayleigh: Hey Adam, sorry to interrupt, can you look at this photo I took of my latest piece? It would be great to get a heads up for what the review will be like
Adam: You know I’m a fan of your paintings. Review is likely to be positive but sure, I can give some pre thoughts
Suzanna: Safest thing is just straight in the bath I reckon
Pollock: Ca du la lee
Suzanna: Let me just wash my hands then we can start on you stinky
Pollock: Dun de gar
...
Ruth: Cool party Silas. Shame about Pollock
Silas: He couldn’t have pooped himself away from the cake? No. He had to ruin everyone’s wish to eat instead
Adam: Words cannot express how glad I am that the blowout did not happen on me
Suzanna: *laughs* Thanks for the support Adam
Adam: I’m just saying if it did I would absolutely be throwing up as well
Suzanna: Was Silas okay after I had to take Pollock off
Adam: He- He did seem a bit annoyed about it
Suzanna: Shoot. I should talk to him
Adam: I don’t think he’s much in the mood for talking Starlight
Suzanna: I should still try
Suzanna: Starshine can-
Silas: I need a nap Mummy, not now
Nevertheless Suzanna watches over him and tucks him in. While he rests she has her own dinner and Adam works on his review piece of Kayleigh’s latest painting. He’s not asleep long however and gets up to pour through the book he got for his birthday, introduction to piano.
Silas: Mummy
Suzanna: Yes? Hold on a sec, he needs to be burped
Pollock: *burps perfect bubbles*
Suzanna settles Pollock in the high chair and turns to her eldest who has his arms up for a hug.
Suzanna: *giddy* Oh hey you
Silas: I know I got mad about Pollock but I didn’t mean to be mad at you Mummy
Suzanna: If you think that was mad- well… I’m so glad you don’t know worse
Silas: Pollock on the other hand *jokily* someone was a stinky butt face of a brother
Pollock: *bursts into tears*
Silas: Pol, I was joking
Pollock: *continues to cry*
Suzanna: I don’t think he understand humour yet, he barely understands words. And remember he’s sensitive
Pollock: *wails*
Silas: Don’t worry Mummy, I’ll fix this
Silas begins to pull a series of bizarre faces at his brother who soon begins to laugh at his antics.
Suzanna: Come on boys, bedtime I think
She takes Pollock in to change his diaper, the memory of the blowout still very fresh in her mind. She gets him clean and changed before putting him in his crib for the night.
Suzanna: Good night Moondust, good dreams
Pollock: Na baa do (good night)
Silas: Night night Pollock. Night night Mummy
Suzanna: Good night Starshine. May you sail the skies in your dreams
Adam: Ready to go to bed
Suzanna: You bet. I think Silas is doing better now. Did you get your piece done
Adam: Drafted, edited, proof read. All set to be published in the morning. Before we woohoo I just need you to tell me again that you've showered since the blowout
Suzanna: *laughs* I've showered since the blowout
It’s a restful night for the household but the dawn brings an unwelcome gift, dust bunnies on all three storeys!

Knightstone Household: Chapter 6, Part 1
I know Silas starts as an infant here when he's a toddler on the Knightstone character page, but that's because I wrote this before I set about taking the photos. *flashbacks of leaving Twitter and finding the clean oceans of Spoutible*
Oh, also, my game is mostly maxis match. I wanted my aliens to look different so you'll see them around with alpha hair.
Paranoid sims, such as Suzanna, are aware they're living in a simulation.
Next up, the Knightstone household aka the aliens. Yes, it is time for me to again do battle with my great nemesis, modular shelving that disappears into household inventory. When I loaded in some plumbing was broken but I am NOT acknowledging it as an omen.
Suzanna is currently level 8 in the scientist career, but wants to reach level 10 as soon as possible so she can set up a portal to visit Sixam. Adam who is still dealing with his anger over being "left behind" in a human just wants to give the aliens a piece of his mind
Silas (who has made me even more obsessed with infants since the alien noises are 10x the normal cute) is a couple of days away from toddlerhood. For now he is a wiggly infant who hates wake up time and pulls the cutest pouts known to human or alien.
Adam: Okay starlight, time to rise and shine
Suzanna: Already?
Adam: Come on, we can't lie here forever
Suzanna: We could try
Adam: I need to make breakfast, the fridge is almost empty
Suzanna: Ever heard of cereal
Adam: Who knows what is in cereal really?
Suzanna gets the last bowl of food while Adam begins to cook. When she is finished she decides now is the time to have a proper conversation, he's more zen when he's cooking.
Suzanna: Adam?
Adam: Yes
Suzanna: I've been thinking, Silas will be a toddler soon
Adam: He will
Suzanna: I want to have another baby
Adam: We've talked about this
Suzanna: I know you don't want kids
Adam: It's adding to the alien agenda
Suzanna: We don't know if there is any alien agenda
Adam: How could there not be? They force humans to carry us to term
Adam: They are slowly building up our numbers here
Suzanna: Even if they are we don't know why
Adam: We know whoever is in charge is fine with leaving babies. Fine with having them figure out how to be aliens alone, on a world that constantly tries to uncover them
Suzanna: I know how we grew up hurts you
Adam: Shunted to the foster home by fathers who were ashamed to carry us, yes it hurts
Suzanna: But you can't let that hurt define us, dictate what we can do with our lives
Adam: Having another kid when we don't even know why we're here?
Suzanna: No answer will make the hurt go away, and our kids will have both of us to help understand
Adam: You're determined
Suzanna: I am. We made Silas together, you and me, and sure he's not perfect but no kid is
Adam: Hold on I never said Silas isn't perfect
Suzanna: He always wakes up grumpy though
Adam: Like someone else I know
Suzanna: Fair point. You may not have wanted him but you loved him as soon as you saw him
Adam: Meaning?
Suzanna: They have ultrasounds now
Adam: I'm not following
Suzanna: You can see them sooner
Adam: You think sooner exposure will help my feelings?
Suzanna: I believe so
Adam: I can't pretend I'll be happy about it before they're here
Suzanna: You are brooder in chief
Adam: You want to have another one so soon though?
Suzanna: I don't want a giant age gap between them
Adam: Okay, we can try. I never want you to be unhappy
Suzanna: I know, have I told you I love you today?
Adam: You tell me everyday Starlight
Suzanna: Okay I gotta have a shower before Silas wakes up, see you in a bit
Adam: *to self* your love keeps me sane
Suzanna spends some time just watching Silas before he wakes up, enjoying the sound of his soft snores. It's not long though, as Silas soon wakes up and does indeed wake up grumpy.
Suzanna: Hello there starshine, are we having another bad morning?
Silas: *frowns*
Adam throws on his disguise before heading out for his morning run while Suzanna does her best to comfort Silas. His smile is very temporary this morning however, so after he bursts into tears again Suzanna decides the best thing to do is get on with their routine
Quick change, where the heck did the helicopter come from? Quick cuddle, then breakfast time. Silas has tried two finger foods so far and this morning Suzanna will introduce him to the third.
Suzanna: These are banana chips starshine
Silas: Nana?
Suzanna: Banana
Silas: Ba na na
Suzanna: Yes Silas that's right!
Silas: Ba nana ba nana
Suzanna: You have to put it in your mouth now, come on, open up
After the first taste Silas enthusiastically tucks in, somehow smearing his face with gunk despite the food being solid, infants are mysterious
Suzanna: Time to go to the garden, let's get you clean
Silas: Mummy, plants mummy?
Suzanna: Yes! Plants. Here come the bubbles!
Silas: *giggles*
Suzanna: Is that fun? Did you have fun?
Silas: Fun! Mummy fun, pops fun
Adam: That's my son!
Adam needs to level up in writing before his next promotion so after finishing his daily column he fits in some practice. In the backyard Suzanna is busy tending to her garden with Silas in the back carrier. Silas approves of this and happily babbles away to her while she works.
Suzanna: Whoops, we're a bit late for lunch starshine, better just have a bottle
Silas: Banana
Suzanna: Not right now. Milk. Mmmilk
Silas: Mmmilk
Suzanna: That's a good boy, drink up
Silas: Mmmilk yum yum
Suzanna: Yeah, can you finish it all?
Silas: *guzzles*
Suzanna gives Silas a burp only to find out he's still in his happy spitter phase. Some of the milk makes a quick exit out the way it went in.
Silas: urped
Suzanna: It's okay Silas, everyone has burped before, even us aliens
Silas: Bet her
Suzanna: You feel better now?
Suzanna: Would you like to play or nap?
Silas: *smiles*
Suzanna: Can we use our words, huh?
Silas: plap
Suzanna: Glad we cleared that up, I think it's nap time though
Suzanna starts another round of her nonsense story. It may not make sense but Silas doesn't know that.
Suzanna uses the time Silas is napping to work with the microscope. She has most of the prints (from plants, fossils, gems) but still needs to earn ones from general microscope use. She has already maxed her logic skill so this is just because she's a geek
Adam: Damn, you do look so cute sleeping
Silas: *yawns*
Adam: Another you wouldn't be so bad really, I just worry so much when your mummy is pregnant
Silas: *stretches*
Adam: Hey sleepy, I'm home
Silas: Pop home
Adam: Yeah son, did you have a good nap
Silas: *is grumpy*
Adam: It's okay buddy, it's okay, pops loves you
Silas: pop pop
Adam: Okay it smells like diaper change time
And in the age of equality Adam also gets peed on (Suzanna caught it last time).
Adam: Okay what shall we do for fun
Silas: Fun fun
Adam: Toy? Story? Game?
Eventually Silas manages to communicate that he wants a story.
Adam: The blue birds were worried. They hadn't expected their baby to be pink but they knew they still loved their baby. They did all the things parent birds do. The baby was fed, the baby was warm, the baby was loved.

Knightstone Household: Chapter 7, Part 4
Promoting the alien agenda* by having more aliens in my sims world.
*Alien agenda is not real, much like the gay or trans agendas that are also, not real
If Silas was the infant prince of pout, his brother is the infant prince of grump. Highlights in Part 4 include birth, Silas embracing his big brother role and the new Knightstone infant being difficult in a way Mercedes could only dream of.
Suzanna decides to confront her worries and has a day at work without her disguise. Faye is annoyed but none of her other coworkers flinch. One work task is to mind control sims to be ravenous but she takes pity on Faye, setting her to clean instead. The day ends and she's officially on family leave
Adam: How was work
Suzanna: Really good actually, I got promoted
Adam: Level 10?
Suzanna: Level 10!
Silas: What that mean
Suzanna: Pending a few more brainwaves, I'll be able to get us to Sixam
Adam: I'm not sure if I'm excited or nervous
Silas: I want to meet more aliens
Suzanna: So he's excited
After many unsuccessful attempts at building a sandcastle (apparently there's no room) Silas and I discover he can play in the backyard sand. Eventually Suzanna coaxes him into learning some basic needs on flashcards. He's not too impressed. Imagination is better to him than thinking.
Hold everything, it's go time! Suzanna has started labour and we are off to the hospital. Dr Faria administers an epidural and Suzanna begins to wonder if natural birth was such a good idea. Luckily Adam is here with her and does his best to keep her mind off the pain.
Suzanna decides to defy science and sleep with her eyes open. Following her nap she has a quick snack. Then it's time for yoga ball exercises while Adam entertains her. Eventually Suzanna has had enough. She calls Dr Farias to check and yep, we're fully dilated. Time to move to the delivery room.
Adam: Remember your breathing
Suzanna: I'm scared
Adam: I'm right here
Dr: We need some big pushes now
Suzanna: I can't
Dr: Come on, big push
Suzanna: *screams*
Baby: *cries*
Adam: You did it starlight
Suzanna: I did?
Dr: You did
Suzanna has the record shortest game labour sitting at 12 hours.
Adam and Suzanna Knightstone are proud to announce the birth of their second child, Pollock Knightstone (Pol for short). Adam is a fan of abstract art so he is named after a key artist. While initial appearance was purple, when rested at home Pollock developed a shade of blue closer to his father.
Silas: Brother here!
Suzanna: Quiet starshine, here he is
Silas: *coos*
Suzanna: This is Pollock
Silas: Mummy he pretty, good job
Adam: *laughs*
Silas: But he not steal my starshine
Suzanna: His normal nickname will be Pol I think but I could call him-
Silas: Moondust!
Suzanna: Moondust he is
After agreeing Adam will get up when Pollock needs him the parents head to bed. Silas meanwhile is delighted his parents agreed to let him share a room with Pol. He entertains him with a few jokes before getting a smile in response. Eventually he settles into bed happy.
When Adam goes to check on a crying Pollock he finds Silas doing his best to cheer him up. Adam takes over, giving him some food, while Silas has a quick play. When Pollock has finally settled Adam heads back to bed and Silas autonomously puts his toy away, I'm impressed little dude.
Suzanna has woken up extremely uncomfortable. She is full of milk and her chest feels way too heavy. She does some pumping however and that seems to settle them down for now.
Silas: Morning Pol, how you
Pol: *snores*
Silas: Oh you sleep, okay
Pol: *snores*
Silas: You still sleep now?
Pol: *snores*
Silas: Pops Pol very sleepy
Adam: He's a newborn son, they have to sleep to grow
Silas: Ohh
Suzanna goes in as soon as Pollock starts crying. She gives him a feed but he's still crying afterwards. She tries some cuddles and kisses. After a long time he is soothed and happily goes back to sleep.
Today is the premiere of a new show and geek Suzanna is excited. Adam is pretty sure he's already found plotholes after 10 minutes but Suzanna shushes him. Silas walks in and wants to know what they're watching. Silas is mainly interested in the pretty colours, reaching level 5 imagination.
After the show it is time for Pollock to age up to an infant. He's busy crying to Adam's dismay, and has to be calmed down before the event can start. Sparkles and clouds and we are away. Pollock has rolled the sensitive infant trait which sounds like it will fit his clingy newborn nature.
Suzanna picks up Pollock and senses something wrong. While Silas loved to snuggle in close, Pol seems to be recoiling. She puts him down for tummy time but something is still off. More off than this not counting as a head lift! Come on people, that's 100% a lift head milestone if I ever saw one.
Again Suzanna lifts a sobbing infant. She puts him on the playmat while she goes to get some milk and the problem is revealed. Pol Hates Being Held! He is horrified at being scooped up and feels relief and freedom when put down. Unfortunately he has to be held while being fed milk, no arguments. Bubbles!
Suzanna takes some time to pump and let Pol recover from being held. Silas seizes his moment and goes over to play with Pol, telling him all about the magic ring. After a while Pol seems interested and lifts his arm up, reach milestone unlocked! He smiles at Silas who chatters away to him.
Suzanna: Bedtime
Silas: Mummy, NO! Put him back
Suzanna: He's been awake a long time starshine
Silas: *pouts*
Pol: *cries*
Suzanna: There there moondust, I know, mean Mummy had to carry you
Silas: What now
Suzanna: Now we say goodnight and go find some food *puts on lullaby*
Silas: Goodnight Pol
Suzanna's turn to be on night duty. Pollock wakes up feeling pretty angry but Suzanna gets a smile out of him. Diaper change time and turns out Pol is a Free-Air Tinkler. However it's a number 2 issue, no pee on Suzanna just yet. I get that Pol is angry at being carried but his scowl is adorable!
Suzanna: Come on moondust, tummy time
Pol: *whimpers*
Suzanna: You can do it, mummy believes in you
Pol: *cries*
Suzanna: Keep trying
At long last Pollock raises his head enough for the milestone to count. He holds for 2 seconds then falls back down but I have proof he did it! Well done Pol
Suzanna and Pollock keep practising tummy time for a while. Then it's feeding time, burping time and eventually night night time again. For a second I think he's going to be a self-soother, but no. Fingers in mouth is completely unrelated.

Knightstone Household: Chapter 7, Part 2
In this part, pride but make it aliens. The day takes an unexpected detour and Silas gets beyond excited about something.
The sim world isn't particularly kind to aliens, just look at the bad moodlets aliens gets when their identities are revealed. The household lives a quiet life, mostly only letting dear friends in on their true alien identities, but they get by.
Yes, I know real world pride is important. I'm bi, trust me when I say I understand the need. In my game though there is no homophobia etc so since only 1 member of the Knightstone's belongs to the queer community (so far) their pride is about having a day as aliens, a day without human judgement.
Today's game holiday is Pride! In my sims game the Pride holiday is about my sims celebrating their individuality (I think my settings are 50% of sims will be queer). For the Knightstone's however Pride is a chance for them to celebrate being Aliens, and not feel shunned by other sims over this.
In game if others discover your sim is an alien, your sim gets negative moodlets. As such my Aliens stay in disguise to reduce the chance of this. On Pride however they like to throw off their disguises and catch up with other aliens to chat and dream of Sixam.
Silas: Pops *cries*
Suzanna: You heard him
Adam: Okay dude, I'm getting up
Silas: Mummy *cries*
Adam: Guess you're getting up to
Suzanna: Indeed. Good morning starshine!
Silas: Morning mummy, can I have bubble bath pops
Adam: I think we can do that, come with me little man
Suzanna: I'll do the decorations
Digging through the decorations box, Suzanna picks some things that might fit. She's proud to be bi but she's also happy she was born an alien.
Silas: plish plash plish plash
Adam: Sss-plish, Sss-plash
Silas: Sss *splashes*
Adam: Hey! The water belongs in the tub
Silas: But bubbles belong everywhere
Suzanna uses the time to get a start on tending the garden. Afterwards she grabs some french toast, she is starving this morning.
Adam: Why are the pancakes out
Suzanna: It'll be easier for Silas to grab if they're there
Adam: You are glowing pretty bright today
Suzanna: Thanks, I'm feeling happy. I enjoyed having friends around last night
Adam: Friends and Faye
Suzanna: If I didn't invite her she would never shut up about it
Adam: I'm so glad we found each other on this lump of rock
Suzanna: It's not all rock
Adam: I'm just saying, I love you, thanks for putting up with me and my moods
Suzanna: I love you. I see your anger as you being passionate, and you never take it out on me or Silas
Adam: And I never will
Suzanna: Better get up, there's chores to do before we have visitors
Adam: Let me just gaze at you a while longer
Suzanna: Sorry pal but we have dust bunnies
Adam: We do? That's disgusting *heaves*
Suzanna: You stress vacuum, I'm going to shower
Adam: I am definitely vacuuming, dust is so gross
After showering Suzanna takes her morning pregnancy test. Today, it's positive! She is delighted. However she's well aware pregnancy is hard for Adam. He may well be okay with trying for a baby, but dealing with one growing inside her will likely stir up his old anxieties and self doubt.
Suzanna: My heart
Adam: You call me that when you want something. Is the drain clogged again?
Suzanna: Take a deep breath
Adam: Why?
Suzanna: We're pregnant again
Adam: *sighs* Are you sure starlight
Suzanna: Yes
Adam: I mean, we were trying... I can't pretend to be surprised...
Suzanna: Hey, tell me what's going on in that beautiful head of yours
Adam: Another baby means another chance you could die in childbirth
Suzanna: I've told you, the watcher won't let it happen
Adam: It's another life we have to protect from the narrow mindedness of these humans. What if I can't look after them? What if the world can't handle them?
Suzanna: My heart, you're spiraling. Let's go get a better look okay
Adam: *nods stiffly*
The two head to the hospital. Suzanna hopes that an ultrasound will help Adam grow to love the new life inside her. She already loves them because she created them, but she knows Adam can take longer to form attachments. They don't bother to disguise as Dr Farias knows they're aliens, plus it's pride!
Suzanna: Thank you for accepting us as patients
Farias: All living things need care. Anyone who cannot accept that in their practice is not fit to be a doctor in my opinion
Upstairs Adam admires the art. He knows the Dr has to know their biology to look after them, and is glad she doesn't judge them, but fears she's in the minority of human opinion
Farias: How are you holding up
Adam: I'm sad and scared
Farias: At least you're honest. I've seen fathers pretend to smile, it's not healthy to lie to your partner about pregnancy
Suzanna: He is honest
Adam: It's not that I don't want another kid but...
Farias: You see more reasons against having a kid than for having a kid
Adam: Yeah
Farias: You're not the only one who can feel that way Adam
Suzanna: We're hoping seeing them will help him adjust
Farias: Remember, not loving your baby right away is not an evil thing. It means you need to build a relationship with them, get to know them
Suzanna: He's great with our son
Adam: You mean our eldest
Suzanna: OMW I do
Farias: *chuckles* Okay see here, that's your youngest
Adam: They're so small
Suzanna: They'll grow
Farias: Would you like to know what sex they'll be assigned at birth
Suzanna: Yes please
Adam: We think it could help me
Farias: Looks like another boy
Suzanna: Silas is getting a little brother *beams*
Adam: He's going to love that. But two boys, the absolute mess...
Suzanna: Sorry. My husband is squeamish
Farias: Too squeamish to discuss birth plans
Adam: Which way will involve the least blood
Farias: I'm not sure the game code has blood but I suppose the surgery machine works
Suzanna: But I want to try deliver him naturally
Adam: Really
Suzanna: We had the surgery machine with Silas, I want to test other options
Adam: I suppose I can try not to faint
Suzanna: Well little guy, let's get you back home
Adam: You look like you could do with a massage
Suzanna: Now that you mention it
Adam: Knew it
Suzanna: How are you feeling
Adam: Still sad, still scared, but maybe less than before
Suzanna: Yeah?
Adam: Plus I know my little dude in here isn't scared
Adam: Hey my dude. I know that I may not be happy about you right now but I love your mummy. And I love your big brother. So you know that I'll find a way to get through this and love you, even if I can't feel it just yet
Suzanna: Very nice. What are you doing
Adam: Listening to see if he talks back
Suzanna: *laughs*
Back home Adam becomes overwhelmed. He really hoped the ultrasound would help, and it did a little, but he still can't help feeling like he doesn't want to have this baby. He knows many humans have the drive to carry on their legacy with children, but he doesn't. Why have a child born into a world of hate.
Suzanna, picking up on his anxieties, books them a counselling session. Adam stays focused but still needs time to get his head around a new baby. Suzanna is glad he trusts her enough to tell her when he's not happy. She'd rather have an honest sad husband than one only pretending to be happy.
Inside early rising, little singer Silas has discovered his third quirk. DESTRUCTIVE! Wanting to create art like his pops he has found some paint and begins creating a floor masterpiece. He splashes out blue, red, green and yellow with reckless abandon, pride day should be colourful after all.
Silas: *hums*
Suzanna: OMW what are you doing?
Silas: I make big pretty for floor
Suzanna: Starshine we can't leave this on the floor
Silas: But- I make it PRETTY
Suzanna: I'm not saying it's not pretty, but we don't throw paint on the floor
Silas: Why
Suzanna: Because paint is difficult to clean
Adam: That's why I keep my paint on canvas son
Silas: I... should not paint pretty on floor
Suzanna: Be careful what you put on the floor because the floor has to be cleaned, just like you
Silas: Oh *half gets it*
Adam: Next time you want to paint, come see me
Silas: Okay pops
Suzanna: Do you know why we were out this morning
Silas: Hungry
Adam: No
Silas: Sick
Suzanna: Close. We were checking on some things because you are going to be a big brother
Silas: I am
Adam: No escaping it
Silas: *happy dance*
Suzanna: You're going to have a little brother
Silas: *gasps* brother for me, I be the best brother for him promise

Knightstone Household: Chapter 7, Part 1
Next household for this rotation is the Knightstone household. Just your regular neighbourhood aliens. Hot-headed art critic Adam, toddler Silas and scientist Suzanna. In part 1 the family have a pretty chill Saturday, playing with Silas and doing chores. Then I have the audacity to host a dinner party and send the charmer toddler to bed before the chatter begins.
The Knightstone household. Or as I think of it, the lot where the bird life mod goes manic. Pictured are three different areas where the birds love to pile up.
6am and toddler Silas is up! He's an early riser. He goes in to his parents room and wakes up Suzanna.
Silas: Mummy! *cries*
Suzanna: I'm awake, I'm awake
Adam: I'm not
Suzanna: Liar
Silas: Mummy I sad, made potty mess
Adam: Eww
Suzanna: Don't worry starshine, pops will fix it
Adam: I will?
Suzanna: Just as soon as he wakes up
Adam: *pretends to snore*
Silas: Mummy I did bad
Suzanna: What do you mean
Silas: Big puddle
Suzanna: Come here, don't worry about that now starshine, you're still learning
Silas: Breakfast
Adam: Not cereal, can't trust it
Suzanna: How about some nice yogurt huh
Silas: Mummy, why yoghurt not come with spoon
Suzanna: I don't know
Silas: It should
Suzanna: I agree
Silas: Mummy not sad about my potty mess
Suzanna: Do I look sad *pulls funny face*
Silas: *giggles*
Adam: My squeamish self is sad
Silas: Pops sad
Adam: Don't worry son, I'll be fine, keep up trying
Silas: Pop look bad
Adam: It's those frogs, so slimy
Silas: Don't worry pop, I sing, make it better
Suzanna: How kind of you Silas
Silas: I made this
He launches into a new composition, featuring words such as yoghurt, cube, and frog, mixed with the traditional nonsense sounds. Adam rates it 7/10
Suzanna: What do you want to do this morning
Silas: Outside time
Suzanna: You got it, let me help you out
Silas: Thank you
Adam: Good boy using your manners
Silas: Thank you *beams*
He spins into his hot weather outfit and is ready to have fun while his parents tend to chores.
Adam practices his cooking to stock the fridge while Silas toddles outside.
Silas: Birdies!
The seagulls and pigeons carry on, undisturbed by the tiny alien.
Silas: Come here birdies
And Silas launches himself forward, scaring all the birds away in the process. He laughs it off, funny things happen.
I remembered to set all the plants to blossoming stage so Suzanna is able to harvest her garden this morning.
Silas: Vroom vroom, watch out birdies
Suzanna: Drive careful starshine
Silas: Mummy you want food
Suzanna: Do you have a menu
Silas: Burger, fries, shake shake, it milkshake with extra shake
Suzanna continues tending the garden, whistling away. Silas joins the whistling with his songs now and then before he's finished with the food truck.
Silas: Mummy time how fast I do tunnel
Suzanna: Okay Silas
Silas: I ready
Suzanna: Go!
Silas squeezes himself through the tunnel
Suzanna: So fast
Adam comes to check on Silas as soon as he's finished his work prep task.
Silas: Pops play with me
Adam: What do we want to play
Silas: Adventure
Adam: Watch out, we dropped into a pit! Oh no, I have lost Silas in the dark
Silas: *giggles*
Adam: I hear you cheeky monster. Let's fly out of here!
Silas: Pops have to work today
Adam: Yeah son
Silas: *sulks*
Adam: How about I try working from home, then we can still see each other
Silas: YES. Will I be big brother soon
Adam: Maybe, mummy and pops are trying
Silas: I be great big brother, I fun
Adam: Hello fun, nice to meet you
Silas: *giggles*
Work task 1 is to write a book. Adam has only done columns before. Since he's feeling flirty he tries to craft a romance novel. Silas busies himself playing with toys and occasionally singing to himself. Suzanna has some expert repairs to do and gets a head start on this weeks laundry.
Silas is fascinated with disguises. He tries applying make up to see if he can be disguised without going full human. He seems upset but then he laughs, deciding he looks fabulous.
Suzanna: Who are you? What have you done with my son
Silas: *laughs* It's me mummy
Suzanna: Silas? surely not
Silas: Mummy pretty, can I make more pretty
Suzanna: You want to give me a makeover
Silas: Yes, I very good
Suzanna: Okay then
Silas: This goes on pips
Suzanna: Lips
Silas: lips, and powder make the shapes on face
Suzanna: *coughs*
Silas: Now we do nails, they be colourful like us
Suzanna: Wonderful
Silas: All done
Adam: You are- a vision
Suzanna: All thanks to Silas. Now come on, this vision wants afternoon tea
Adam: Brownie time
Silas: What pops writing
Adam: A romance book
Silas: What romance?
Suzanna: Kissy love
Silas: kissy kissy *blows kiss*
Adam: That's my boy
Suzanna: Let's see what you remember about shapes
Silas: Cube has squares for sides
Suzanna: You got it. What shape is the steering wheel on the truck
Silas: Circle!
Suzanna: And this one *positions hands*
Silas: Tri- Triangle!
Suzanna: You're learning so well starshine
Silas: Learning fun, I fun
Adam finished his book and now has one task left, recommending hangouts. That means it's time to invite over some humans Suzanna knows for dinner. Silas is angry at being fed early and missing out on the fun. He chews angrily while Suzanna introduces everyone to Adam.
Jessica: Aliens in artwork, how strange
Faye: Oh I don't believe in aliens
Suzanna: All finished
Silas: Yes but why I have to go to bed, I fun
Suzanna: You are fun but you're also sleepy and grumpy from the brownies
Silas: I *yawns* I not
Suzanna: Snuggle in starshine, have good dreams
Nalani: This pasta doesn't have fish does it
Adam: No fish
Faye: It tastes pretty good
Kayleigh: Will Suzanna be back soon
Adam: Oh yeah, sometimes it just takes a while for Silas to settle
Jessica: I hope you don't mind me wearing a hat inside
Adam: That thing? I didn't even notice it
*group laughter*
Suzanna: I'm back, what did I miss
Faye: I was just wondering how we're meant to tell your husband Adam and fitness instructor Adam apart
Kayleigh: It seems rude to call one "the other Adam"
Jessica: We can't separate by hair colour
Nalani: Or having tattoos
Human Adam: Maybe bulky Adam and skinny Adam
Alien Adam: Hey, I have some muscles
Human Adam: But dude, I'm ripped
Suzanna: Maybe clean plate Adam and non eating Adam
Alien Adam: Oh shoot I forgot to eat
Suzanna begins to clean up the plates while Adam remembers to recommend some restaurants and museums for the dinner guests. Work task 2, check.
Everyone heads home and the exhaustion hits Adam.
Adam: Pretending to be human is tiring
Suzanna: Having to ask about personalities instead of mind reading
Adam: Ridiculous. You know, Silas was going on about being a brother
Suzanna: He was
Adam: Shall we try again starlight
Suzanna: We shall

Knightstone Household: Chapter 6, Part 4
With Silas finally being a toddler, I can go back to joining Suzanna at work for fun and shenanigans.
Whoops. Looks like Suzanna was trying to sleep in, but early riser Silas does not think that's a good idea. I thought he might wake her up by babbling to her but no, looks like he is going to cry her awake instead.
Suzanna: Starshine are you okay? come have a hug
Silas: Mummy
Since Adam was up he ushers Silas to have breakfast so Suzanna can get ready for work.
Silas: Pop pop sing
Adam: I don't sing, I have no singing skill
Silas: I sing
Adam: Can you eat first dude
Silas: la la ba la la fo de do de do
Adam: Few more handfuls son, come on
Adam is writing his morning column when he hits level 7 writing skill. He is doing an excellent job at work so now that he meets the requirements, will today be a promotion day for him? Silas spends some time playing on the couch then we follow Suzanna to the lab.
Suzanna has random tasks today. After viewing a piece of art she has to do some invention brainstorming and whip up a few serums. Then she needs to mind control workers to change outfits (we choose athletic wear today) and spends most of the afternoon on the microscope.
When Suzanna arrives home it appears Silas has a full hunger bar. This makes it only too easy for him to sing to his parents as they eat.
Adam: Great news, I am now a Chief Critic
Suzanna: Congrats. What does that mean?
Adam: More respect and a higher salary for starters
Something in the lounge/dining/kitchen area is annoying Adams squeamish side but do you think I can find what it is? No.
(Future me here again, pretty sure it's the frogs that are making him squeamish, but we are displaying our collections Adam so deal with it)
So I send him off for a run while Suzanna offers to teach some shapes to Silas. In this moment he levels up socially and can now talk!
If only sims could sit down to teach blocks
Suzanna: That is a cube
Silas: The block is a queue be
Suzanna: Each side of the cube is a square
Silas: A square is a side of the queue be
Suzanna: You got it starshine!
Silas: A queue be has squares
The next morning Silas has some play time in the backyard. Adam has successfully prevented abductions for the day so does some painting.
Silas: Chugga chugga vroom vroom
Adam: Don't run me over son
Silas: Beep beep *pushes horn*
Guess who forgot to fix the plants? Still me. At least Suzanna can finish pretty quickly and get some time in with Silas before work.
Silas: Mummy, give hug
Suzanna: What a wonderful hugger you are
Silas: You the hugger
Suzanna: mwah mwah mwah
Silas: *giggles* mummy funny
Suzanna: Larain? Why are you here?
Larain: They said it was an open day so we thought it would be fun to visit
Suzanna: Just make sure you keep your disguises on, my co workers haven't seen actual aliens before
Larain: But they see you everyday Suzanna: Not looking purple
Larain: Don't worry, we're blending in experts
Suzanna: If you say so. Hey, since you're here, would you mind testing my serum
Larain: No problem, us aliens must stick together
Suzanna: Shh, here comes Faye, total non believer
Larain: I'll be cool. But maybe I'll be cool over there
Faye: Damn tourist days, I'd rather aliens
Suzanna: Really?
Faye: I'm kidding, aliens don't exist
Suzanna: You sure?
Faye: Maybe there could be like space gnomes though
Suzanna: Space gnomes?
Faye: Just think about it, logic tracks, small green men
Suzanna takes some time to study the stars, there's plenty of prints she has yet to unlock. When she heads back downstairs there's just 1 tourist left
Suzanna: Sorry, I forgot your name
M-something: It's okay, I forget my human name all the time
Suzanna: Tell me about it
Suzanna: Were you looked after today
Silas: Pop pop fun, we play
Suzanna: That's great. Can you guess what mummy did today
Silas: Save world
Suzanna: Almost. I talked to some other aliens
Silas: Other aliens?
Suzanna: There's more than just you me and pops here
In the morning Silas has plenty of time playing before he is caught for breakfast
Adam: Slide down son
Silas: Pops, other aliens, how many?
Adam: I don't know
Silas: A zillion?
Adam: More like a dozen
Silas: Dozen?
Adam: Some handfuls here
Silas: Hands full of breakfast?
Suzanna spends her last day of work this week doing the regular tasks. Mix up some serums (with varying results), analyse some fruit, and of course brainstorm for a bit on the invention constructor. Can't forget to mind control the workforce either.
Suzanna manages to get three coworkers into their party outfits. We just ignore the moral implications of mind control I guess?
Faye: Man my party outfit is so comfy
Nalani: I know what you mean
Faye: I just got this urge to change
Nalani: Why shouldn't we have causal Friday?
Suzanna decides to not use her coworkers as test subjects today. She has unlocked a serum called Fixer's Luck that may improve her handiness skill so for accurate results we'll have to drink it ourselves. Bottoms up! Results in three, two one...
Uh oh, science fail. Suzanna now has a sad moodlet titled "Can't fix my heart. My achy breaky heart. This is not the time to be romantic." Why do I find this so funny? Clearly Suzanna will have to step up her serum testing game to find more written gems.
Sad Suzanna decides since she has finished her mandated tasks, she'll spend the afternoon outside the lab. All our digging and we only have 1 new collectable. She checks the alien crater and finds a Blue Slug which she already has, so sends the little guy back to Sixam. If only creatures of her size could be sent back as easily.
Back home and the sad moodlet is still there
Silas: Why you sad mummy?
Suzanna: I had some bad serum
Silas: I'll sing after I finish sand mich
Suzanna: Thank you starshine, that'll help
Silas: I great at help, pops says I charming
Suzanna: You are a little charmer
Silas: You listen mummy
Suzanna: I'm listening
Silas: La la lu la, ru rah ru rah, stars are fun fun, alien fun fun, I a star, la la lu la, ru rah ru rah
Suzanna: Did you make that up all by yourself?
Silas: Yes! I sing star
Suzanna: You are so imaginative starshine
Adam: Did I hear the sound of a superstar
Silas: Pops I sing. Make mummy happy
Adam: Are you okay starlight
Suzanna: I will be, just had a bad serum
Adam: What happened to getting the workforce to test them
Suzanna: I can't give it to them every time, the testing won't register
Adam: Great job making mummy happy my dude. It's always nice to cheer up a sad girl
Suzanna: Or a sad boy
Adam: Right. Boys can get sad to
Silas: I sad after potty accident
Adam: Exactly, and that's okay to be sad about
Suzanna: He needs sleep, can you read a story?
We have arrived at the end of the Knightstone rotation. Silas is now level 2 at potty hooray for being able to try by himself! No pregnancy yet for these two, much to Adam's relief and Suzanna's disappointment, maybe next time we check in with the aliens...

Knightstone Household: Chapter 6, Part 3
Adam is being an A+ father, Suzanna really wants a second child, infant Silas evolves into toddler Silas.
Thanks to Adam looking after Silas at night Suzanna is able to get up at her normal weekday time. Before starting her shift she makes sure to tend the garden, then upgrades things to pass the time. She discovers she is a Green Fiend, must be the green appliance upgrades.
Since it's time for Silas to age up Adam makes him a cake, and fits in a workout, before waking him.
Adam: Good morning you
Silas: hi hi pop
Adam: What shall we do today then?
Silas: Fun fun
Adam: Okay my dude, let's start with a book huh
Silas: bok bok time
Adam: Come here son
Silas: *flails*
Adam: Keep trying buddy, I know you practiced with mummy
After some trial and error Silas manages to advance from a scoot to a crawl. Not one to drop the ball, Adam keeps working with him and soon enough Silas pulls himself into standing
Despite the success with Silas, angry moodlets are stacking up for hot headed Adam. He tries to get some writing done but can't focus. Meanwhile Silas enjoys his last nap on the infant mat with the sunlight pouring in. Adam eventually channels his feeling into an angry painting.
Despite his mood, when Suzanna gets home Adam reveals the cake. Silas is excited but Suzanna has to help him blow out the candles, his lungs are still tiny after all. Silas spun the cheerful trait, and blue joins purple as a favourite colour for later on.
The family sit down to eat the cake and a bubbly Silas blows Suzanna a kiss.
Suzanna: Thank you starshine. Adam did you see that?
Adam: See what?
Suzanna: Silas blew me a kiss
Adam: That's my son, dialing up the charm when he's just two
Suzanna: Are you saying he gets the charm from you?
Silas: pop pop kiss mummy
Adam: See. Clearly he has seen my skills
Suzanna: Do you like the cake Silas?
Silas: Me food love
Adam: Is he going to speak like yoda forever?
Suzanna: Give him time, it's only just his birthday
Silas: Birthday
Suzanna: Yes, you're 2 or around 2. It is hard to track properly before you're a child
Adam: Pops is 33, mummy is 32
Silas: 3 too?
Suzanna: He doesn't know single digits yet, let's not jump start him on doubles
Adam: He'll have your smarts, I know it
Suzanna: This is your potty, it's like a small toilet
Adam: Is he meant to be sitting on it though
Suzanna: There are no animation distinctions for toddler gender
Adam: Got it
Silas may only be level 1 but he had a successful first time, look how cute his happy dance is!
Adam: Okay champ, night night time
Silas: Night night time
Adam: Hey you learned the words, that's awesome my dude
Silas: Night night
Adam: Goodnight son, pops and mummy love you very much, have fun flying the galaxy in your dreams
Adam: He's learnt how to say night properly. Why do you look sad?
Suzanna: I'm still not pregnant yet
Adam: Starlight, we had Silas. It'll happen eventually
Suzanna: I just want him to have a sibling
Adam: And he will. Whenever you give birth in 9 months or 9 years he will be one
The next morning I realise I forgot to fix the plants when I loaded the game so Suzanna is stuck with many dirt piles. It's 6am and Silas is up! He's got the early riser trait. No problem in this house as his parents usually get up early for exercise and chores.
It appears that Silas wants to go sing a song to Suzanna. I'm never too sure how talking while a sim is gardening happens, some talk seems to work and some doesn't. It seems like sing a song doesn't so Silas stands patiently, looking adorable, waiting to sing.
Adam: What are you doing out here son?
Silas: song song
Adam: Sorry but the mobile is attached to your crib, I don't think it works on toddler beds
Silas: I song
Adam: Let's have some breakfast
Silas: Mummy?
Adam: Yes mummy will come to
Suzanna: Oh good there's some eggs left
Silas: da la da
Adam: Is he short circuit-ing
Suzanna: He's a toddler not a computer
Silas: da do la
Adam: But if he's already saying proper words why is he switching back to babbling
Suzanna: Are you tone deaf
Adam: What do you mean
Suzanna: He's singing
Silas: da la do da star star
Adam: Oh, you trying to sing twinkle twinkle?
Silas: wink da la star
Suzanna: I think he's singing to his own beat
Silas has the Little Singer Quirk and oh my gosh this is too darn adorable!
Silas: Aliens!
Adam: We are son, that's why we have disguises
Silas: Dis guys
Suzanna: Do you want to try yours on?
What do you know, much like toddlers cannot change outfits in the high chair, Silas needs to be on ground level before he can put on his human disguise
Silas is still learning the concept of human disguises, creating them and changing them can be tricky. His birthmarks don't match up but that's part of the trick. He decides to have a play with the make up set to see if he can make himself look even more like a human.
I give this attempt, 12 out of 10. All key make up is included and artistically placed. Go Silas! Today I can follow Suzanna to work since Adam is also working and Silas will go to daycare rather than relying on AI to not starve him.
Moment of truth and... the invention constructor is indeed fixed for me! No more holograms and dust clouds around my sim. After building another satellite Suzanna calibrates the wormhole generator, and dreams of when she can reach Sixam.
One of her work tasks is to give a colleague an untested serum. Try as I might Faye does not want to test any of the 3 on hand. Not one to shy away from a challenge Suzanna goes and makes a brand new one for her. Unfortunately Faye just does not trust her enough to try it...
Luckily Shelly seems to be willing to try Suzanna's serum. The ghost goo proves effective and Shelly becomes transparent and maybe a bit uncomfortable. Suzanna has smaller tasks for the rest of the work day, and scores a promotion to Mad Scientist!
Back home Adam gets Silas ready for dinner while Suzanna takes another pregnancy test. Despite trying again last night she is still not pregnant. But I know what might cheer her up, hearing Silas sing! Also how great is it that toddlers can't realistically throw the peas everywhere?
Adam: Congratulations on the promotion starlight
Suzanna: Thank you. I made you a satellite at work today, you can use it to stop alien abductions
Adam: Sweet
Suzanna: What did you do today starshine
Silas: Daycare fun, big fun, make pretty
Suzanna: You want to go to sleep in your disguise?
Silas: Dis guys pretty, pops clean pretty
Suzanna: You still look beautiful to me. Now where did we get up to
Silas: Dino rawr rawr
Suzanna: Let's go from here shall we
The sound of Suzanna's voice charms Silas to sleep

Knightstone Household: Chapter 7, Part 5
Final part is done for this chapter of the Knightstones. Highlights include Pollock milestones and using the simray on Faye. Alien Suzanna is finally at the top of her scientist career!
A full nights sleep means Adam is up and ready for child minding early. Looks like Pollock has imitated his brother, he is also an Early Riser. He woke up angry and is fussing away while Adam scrambles to heat up the milk for him. As we know being picked up for feeding will not improve his mood.
Adam: Hey now, are you a hot head like your pops
Pol: *smiles*
Adam: Pops, pops *makes poping noises*
Pol: *coos*
Adam: Close enough
After feeding Adam puts Pol on the infant playmat so he can play and relax.
Adam: What do we want for breakfast son
Silas: Yoghurt
Adam: Your wish is my command
Adam: Mummy told me you can lift your head now
Pol: *coos*
Adam: Want to show pops
Pol: *cries in dispair*
Adam: It's okay if you forgot how son, we'll work on it
...
Silas: HELP
Suzanna: What's wrong
Silas: I left trapped after breakfast, pops could not hear me
Suzanna: You're free now starshine
After more practice Pollock is able to show Adam how he lifts his little head. Further tummy time gives him the ability to roll on to his back, next step will be learning the other direction. Adam goes to help Silas practice his shapes while Pol has a well deserved nap.
Pro tip, do not leap in the air 2 days after giving birth. But since my gameplay means 2 days is half a year maybe this is okay? First task at level 10 is upgrading the simray with transform sim. The invention constructor breaks halfway through, but it's a quick fix. Now, who to test on...
Of course we're testing on Faye. She text Suzanna asking if one of her parents was a llama! Clearly something goes wrong as nothing happens and she looks exactly the same, damn. Finally, upgrading the wormhole to reach Sixam! It's coming soon. Then a quick pumping break, don't need mastitis.
Suzanna's main job today is to find collectables. Many spots are dug and to my surprise she finds one new metal and one new crystal. She checks out the alien crater and now her alien collection is complete with a Live Red Coral. Since it's a heatwave she spends the afternoon in the observatory.
Returning home and Pollock gave me a heart attack by being invisible. Eventually I get him back. He sneezes so I guess being invisible is dusty. Milestone sparkles start and he learns to roll onto his tummy. He can now practice tummy time alone the fabulous little wiggler.
Pollock cries in frustration at being picked up, scaring Suzanna. Please dude, not carrying ever is impossible. While Adam gives Silas a bubble bath Suzanna sets out to give Pol his very first bath. No laughter yet but we have happy sounding coos when Pol experiences the bubbles and the duckie.
After an infinity of splashing it's night night time again. Thank you AI for actually caring for the infant while Suzanna was working. Adam helps Silas practice his numbers for a bit before his bedtime. He is unsure about some of them but no one is born knowing math. He reaches level 3 Thinking.
That's the end of the Knightstone's for now. Suzanna is level 10 in the scientist career so we should get to Sixam next time. For now, Suzanna and Adam are doting parents to their two sons.

Knightstone Household: Chapter 6, Part 2
Adam struggles with his feelings over a possible second child, Suzanna and Silas have a park trip.
Adam also finds time to play with Silas
Adam: Remember our old friend the ring. Is it my hat or your hat?
Silas: *giggles*
He then gives Silas another bottle for dinner. Luckily Silas only burps up gas bubbles. Then he places him in his crib and turns on a lullaby
Suzanna: How was work today
Adam: You know work, there's always stuff to critique
Suzanna: I still don't get how you are comfortable putting your opinions out there like that
Adam: It took time to be comfy with it for sure
Suzanna: And now you're respected
Adam: Exactly
Suzanna: Are you sure you're okay with trying for another kid?
Adam: I have to be honest. Through the pregnancy I am going to be nervous and tense and scared
Suzanna: You don't like change
Adam: I don't, especially when I think we are part of a great trio
Suzanna: So we can't try?
Adam: Let me finish starlight. I will be a wreck but I want to have another child with you
Suzanna: Truly?
Adam: I love you, I love Silas, I'll love whatever kid we have, no matter if they're blue or pink
Suzanna: Wait, blue or pink?
Adam: Right, didn't hear the bird story
Suzanna: I did not
Adam: So basically this bird family had a baby chick. When it hatched it was pink, without any of their lovely blue feathers
Suzanna: Many birds hatch without feathers
Adam: The parents initially panicked because how could they look after this pink thing
Suzanna: Right
Adam: But they realised they loved the chick so much that even without feathers they would do what they could to raise it
Suzanna: Did the bird survive
Adam: It was an infant book, you bet it survived. Point is it'll take me some time to adjust but I will
Suzanna: I don't remember books being so metaphoric when we were young
Adam: Right! Maybe they were and we just missed it?
Suzanna: Probably. But you needn't worry about pregnancy, the watcher hasn't installed any mods that could cause death
Adam: How can you be sure?
Suzanna: I told you, all paranoid sims know what the watcher does
Adam: If he even exists
Suzanna: SHE does and she has our back, don't worry, I won't die from pregnancy
Adam: Promise?
Suzanna: Cross my heart and hope to die
Adam: Not funny
Suzanna: Hope to live then
The next morning Silas wakes up before anyone else so has some solo tummy time. It's still emotional for him, despite having met several key movement milestones. When Adam gets up he has to use a dirty sink, and in doing so discovers he is actually squeamish!
Suzanna gets Silas up and ready while Adam makes some food. I'm amused by the things sims pull out of the dirty diapers. Cars confirmed??? I jest, the routing in Sims 4 clearly doesn't allow for driving places and lots don't line up with roads, I don't think it'll happen. Happy to be proved wrong though sims team...
Suzanna takes Silas to the table and gets him settled down. They try some Oaty O's and Silas does not approve. Suzanna gets them cleared away while Adam gives Silas his favourite finger food, peanut butter puffs
Adam: Any plans for today?
Silas: *pats*
Suzanna: Technically it's Spring Cleaning day so I'll check what needs tidying
Adam: I would help, but I don't want to
Suzanna: *laughs* Save your strength for diaper duty?
Adam: More like build up my strength for diaper duty
Suzanna: Try keep an eye out for the flower bunny
Adam: That's today?
Suzanna: Should be but things can always get bugged
Silas: *giggles*
Suzanna: What will you do?
Adam: I need to publish my next column and work on writing before work today
Suzanna: I was thinking...
Suzanna: Fossils hardly ever spawn at work so I might take Silas to the park with me
Adam: Will he be getting a tiny hammer?
Suzanna: No, but that would be adorable
Adam: Back carrier?
Suzanna: He should be able to nap in there while I walk around
Adam: In disguise though right? We don't want him having the wrong kind of attention.
Suzanna: Of course. I'll make sure he's disguised before we even leave the lot
Silas: Mummy plants? Fun me
Suzanna: No starshine, you stay there and finish your breakfast
Silas: Pop pop
Adam: I'm here my dude, come on, two more mouthfuls then you can play
Silas blew a raspberry! Alas I was too slow to capture the moment but it was cute. He plays with his toys in the lounge while Adam works away at his writing. Suzanna uses the time Adam is home to fit in her workout so she doesn't need to leave Silas alone, the AI care is glitchy...
When Suzanna gets back from her run she has some tummy time with Silas, he seems to be trying to regularly balance on all fours at the moment. Before heading to the park Suzanna makes sure Silas is full and as content as he can be, tiredness not included obviously.
Silas: *spits out milk*
Suzanna: Oh dear starshine, is your tummy bad today
Silas: Bad
Suzanna: Okay let's check your disguise, can you disguise for mummy
Silas: Dis side
Suzanna: Dis-gu-ise
Silas: *giggles*
Suzanna: We are look human, we'll work on the word later
The pair arrive at the park and Suzanna sorts Silas into his back carrier for a nap. He tries to nap and eventually falls asleep while Suzanna digs up every rock pile and searches the pond for frogs. No new frogs unfortunately but we get new fossils!
Back home Suzanna tries to use her simray on a duplicate fossil in the hopes of finding a new one. The ray powers up, the light beam strikes, the object glows and... not a fossil. But it's incredibly cute so we're gonna keep it for when Silas has his own kids room.
Adam arrives home and immediately springs into pops mode, comforting Silas who is not happy at being awake so soon. Sorry buddy but you need a diaper change and feeding before you properly fall asleep. Adam helps him try some mashed carrots and they're a hit!
Suzanna got a scam call so takes her frustration out on the dust bunnies upstairs.
Adam: Okay my dude, night night time
Silas: nit nit time
Adam: That's right buddy, let's put on a lullaby for you
Silas: Star! Star!
Adam: Twinkle twinkle little star it is
Silas: nit pops
Silas is asleep early so Adam and Suzanna try for a baby before dinner.
Suzanna: Thanks for cooking
Adam: Just catering for your insatiable appetite. Thanks for... you know
Suzanna: *giggles* We do have fun
Adam: You're amazing, you know that right?
Suzanna: You have mentioned it
Silas: *cries*
Suzanna: What time is it?
Adam: 1am, go back to sleep
Suzanna: You sure?
Adam: I have tomorrow, I mean today, off work so I'll go check him. You just sleep starlight, you got him the last time
Suzanna: Thank you, tell him I love him, and I love you
Really not sure why Silas woke up when he's been sleeping through the night but the answer is probably "Infants will infant". Adam makes sure to get him as clean as possible, and as full as possible, and as comforted as possible before giving him a bed time story.
