Chopra Household: Chapter 6, Part 10
I almost lost my mind but I took some time off to build so I didn't!
Tumblr media
If Viola is attempting to say something it will be in brackets, otherwise you can assume it's just trying out sounds Mercedes has a speech delay and may get words wrong, correct wording will be in brackets if that is the case Savannah aka Honeybee Mercedes aka Little Ladybug Viola aka Green Bean
With everyone going through a tough time (especially the watcher) nana Lavina is having a stay over to help out.
Rahul: Thanks for coming mum
Lavina: Of course dear, I’m happy to
Cassandra: Okay Viola, nana is here. Do you think we can show her a crawl huh? Crawl to mama
The pair practice and after a while we get milestone lights!
Lavina: Oh how wonderful! Although she does look glum
Viola is up and crawling but is very pouty about it.
Rahul: Shucks, she probably needs more antibiotics
Lavina: Don’t worry, I’ll grab them for you
Tumblr media
Lavina: My goodness what did I nearly trip on
Rahul: It’s a robot vacuum
Cassandra: We can set it to auto clean and it should take care of any dust bunnies
Lavina stomps off to the medicine cabinet grumbling about technology these days. After Viola has her medicine and is fed Cassandra gets her to bed. Both of them need sleep, here’s hoping they can get some.
Tumblr media
Cluckton: *crows* hear ye, hear ye! We’ve survived a bad mod storm that involved sims being sick and unable to go to the doctor! Let us all thank the watcher for getting help and giving up on that module without deleting us. We came so close to DOOM!
Mercedes: Is Cluckton still crowing
Savannah: Maybe. He probably just wants to make sure we can hear him all the way over here
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Good morning green bean! Isn’t it so much better without those nasty bugs? You look better
Viola: se na ma do (so do you mama)
Cassandra: I just finished pumping so this bottle is nice and fresh for my little guzzler
Viola tucks into the bottle with gusto, promptly finishing it. Cassandra takes her over to the changing table for a fresh nappy when Mercedes comes and sits on the rocking chair.
Mercedes: Morning mama. Did papa tell you they say I’m gifted
Cassandra: he did! But gifted or not you are my daughter and I love you for more than your brain, okay
Mercedes: Okay mama. Can you come to word class with me today? Papa can go with Savannah instead
Cassandra: If you'd like me there I’d love to
Tumblr media
Savannah: And a drop here, and a drop there, and-
Rahul: SAVANNAH
Savannah: Huh what?
Rahul: Why did you dump this paint on the floor
Savannah: It wasn’t me!
Rahul: I SAW you Savannah, don’t start lying. No tv for a day and you will clean this up, right now!
Savannah: But… how will I get my fun need up without tv
Rahul: You should have thought of that before you made a mess. Now your mama and I are swapping after school duties and I expect you on your best behaviour for OT
Savannah: *sighs* yes papa
Tumblr media
Cassandra streams her guitar practice this morning. Nursing has affected how much time she’s been able to spend increasing her skills and fame. While she strums the yard animals again inspect Viola. Seven in particular finds the infant suspicious. After playing with her rattle Viola sets off crawling around, the feel of grass under her fingers is a lot of fun.
Tumblr media
Even though the yard is sheltered, with the rain Cassandra doesn’t like Viola spending too much time outside in case she gets windchill. Back inside it’s time for more standing practice. After a series of tries together Viola gurgles she wants to try by herself so Cassandra steps back and Viola looks up at the couch. She stretches her arms and up she goes! Cassandra is so excited she takes a small video to show Rahul in case Viola doesn’t feel like showing off later.
Tumblr media
Lavina: Look at her go! She’s a star
Cassandra: Could you get her down for a nap? I have to go tell Rahul
Lavina: Oh course dear
Cassandra: Then she just pulled herself up
Rahul: That’s wonderful
Cassandra: It has got me thinking… she’s growing up…
Rahul: And the nursery will be empty… can’t have that…
Cassandra: shall we go try then?
Rahul: Don’t have to ask me twice
So the two head to their room and spend time… flipping pillows until their daughters are ready for after school activities.
Tumblr media
Word class and OT went well, Cassandra does have to rush off to work pretty soon afterwards though. The girls head inside to do their homework while Rahul cooks.
Lavina: What is word class when it’s at home
Mercedes: Stuff. Helping stuff
Lavina: And this is meant to make you better at talking is it? Doesn’t seem to be making much difference so far
Rahul: Mum! Be nice, let's not teach them to be rude
Lavina: I want my granddaughters to succeed, is that rude? Now Savannah, are you sure that’s the right way to hold your pencil?
Savannah: *sighs dramatically*
Rahul: Mum! Don’t fuss. They’ve both done well today
Savannah: If I’ve done well... can I watch TV?
Tumblr media
Rahul: No. I said no TV for a day and I meant it
Mercedes: But Savannah did good
Rahul: Yes but she still did bad this morning
Mercedes: She cleaned it
Rahul: After being caught and trying to lie about it
Lavina: And she should consider herself lucky. Any time your papa made a mess it was no TV for a week. He learned not to and so will your sister
Savannah: *fumes in silence*
Rahul: I’m sorry if you are upset Honeybee but your punishment was for earlier. Consequences are tied to our actions. When you’re grown you’ll understand
Tumblr media
Mercedes: I thought we were grown
Rahul: Not yet little ladybug. Think of it this way Savannah… If I sheared some wool off Seven and cut her by accident, I could bottle feed her all I like but it wouldn’t change that I cut her. There’s only 12 hours left and you’ll be asleep for most of it
Savannah: Oh... I forgot about sleep
Mercedes: I guess I can’t watch TV either
Lavina: Why not?
Mercedes: Sol.. solid… together. We stick together (solidarity)

Chopra Household: Chapter 6, Part 13
In this final part we rap up the Chopra's for this rotation.
Tumblr media
If Viola is attempting to say something it will be in brackets Mercedes has a speech delay and may get words wrong, correct wording will be in brackets if that is the case Savannah aka Honeybee Mercedes aka Little Ladybug Viola aka Green Bean
At the Rec centre Cassandra sets herself up to stream her guitar practice and hopes some locals may tip her some coins. Rahul meanwhile focuses on getting Viola talking. I would say, easier said than done but the whole point is it’s not easily said.
Rahul: Let’s do words. I know you know some, can you tell me?
Viola: Papa… Mama… lo ee (Love me)
Rahul: Lo ee isn’t quite a word but good job trying. How about we try one together? Me and you? Say after me, me…
Viola: Dee *twirls braids*
Rahul: Me…
Viola: Gre *dances in place*
Rahul: You…
Viola: Poo *flaps arms*
Rahul: Poo is a word! Not the one we were trying but I’ll take it. Poo is what you do in the potty
Tumblr media
Viola: Papa?
Rahul: Yes green bean
Viola: I no no (I don’t need words)
Rahul: You don’t want to practice words right now?
Viola shakes her head to hammer home the point.
Rahul: What do you want to do then Viola
Viola: *hums* papa pa mi ah ah (Papa play with me, up up) *waves arms*
Rahul: Alright, you win. We’ll play for now
Tumblr media
Viola jumps up and down in delight making joyous noises. Over the other side of the garden Cassandra has amassed a small crowd of sims but smiles to see Viola happy.
Rahul: Play time, up we go
Viola: Ah… up up
Rahul: Hey you got it green bean. Hold on tight, we’re going to fly
Viola giggles and shrieks as Rahul spins her around every which way. It can’t last forever though as the twins are due home soon.
Tumblr media
Age up day means new photo time! Even if it is cloudy. One picture in everyday and one in hot weather as it’s getting quite hot and muggy. Unfortunately, we discover Viola hates being carried so she’s very glad when it’s over. Cassandra is desperate for the bathroom so heads inside while Rahul introduces the girls to bikes.
Rahul: They’ll allow you to see how beautiful all of Henford is. Now do you need help, I can help teach you
Mercedes: No papa, I got it
Savannah: Maybe… My motor skill…
Rahul: How about I give you some guidance and you can send me off whenever you like honeybee
Savannah nods happily and Rahul carries her down the steps to her bike. Mercedes is already tying to move around, helpfully wearing the ladybug helmet as the twins hair matches even more with helmets on. One particularly enthusiastic movement send her head into the handlebars though and she rubs her sore eye.
Tumblr media
On the deck Viola is doing her best to stack blocks. There’s still the temptation to just put them in her mouth and chew. Inside Cassandra decides to take a pregnancy test since she’s had to pee more than normal today. What do you know, it’s positive! Next pregnancy has begun (and will have to be paused between households). Cassandra is delighted but she still feels sicker than she usually does when pregnant (probably all the mods).
Tumblr media
Rahul is trying his best to provide guidance but the girls are still getting used to the bikes, walking on them in tippy toes on the front walkway and around the gates.
Snuggles: *clucks* what are you doing
Seven: *bleats* investigating. What are those things
Snuggles: *clucks* who cares? Just stay away from them or we’ll end up 2D
Tumblr media
Cassandra comes outside and walking gingerly down the steps calls Rahul over while the kids are busy.
Rahul: Hey, you okay my darling
Cassandra: I’m not great but I am happy. Big guy… we’re pregnant again
Rahul: We are? Oh that’s amazing
Cassandra: I can’t promise it’ll be a boy
Rahul: I know from my biology degree, that y chromosome is down to me. Come here my darling. Boy or girl, I love them already
Cassandra: I just feel a bit groggy with it all. And I don’t know how the girls will react
Rahul: The twins are older now, they might be more understanding. And I’m sure Viola will love a playmate eventually
Tumblr media
Cassandra: You get Viola in and I’ll talk to the girls
Rahul: As you wish my darling
Cassandra moves over to the danger zone that’s full of wobbling bikes and calls for Mercedes to come see her, she is the more sensitive of the two.
Cassandra: Little ladybug, you know how me and papa had Viola
Mercedes: *smiles* You’re sending her back?
Cassandra: No. We’re actually having another one. You’ll be a big sister again
Mercedes pouts in annoyance so Cassandra sweeps her into a hug.
Cassandra: Listen to me. No matter how many kids me and papa have, we will always, always, love you. Do you understand little ladybug?
Eventually Mercedes stops squirming and hugs her back tightly. She whispers that she loves her mama and Cassandra relaxes.
Savannah: What are we hugging about
Mercedes: Bad news! Another baby is coming
Savannah: I don’t know, another one could be good. It could keep Viola busy so we don’t have to talk to her. Are you and papa really having a baby mama
Cassandra: Really really. Are you okay with it Honeybee
Savannah: Sure. I can always just ignore it
Tumblr media
Rahul: Do you understand green bean? Mama is making a baby so you’ll have a younger sibling
Viola: Mama av ab? I no ab (Mama is having a baby? I don’t know what a baby is)
Rahul: They’ll be small but they’ll get bigger then you can play with them
At this explanation Violas eyes light up. She may not understand what a baby is but something to play with sounds like fun. Her older sisters never seem to want to play with her.
Cassandra: Applesauce. Eat up Viola, you need to grow big and healthy
Savannah: Can I name the baby
Mercedes: No fair, I want to name the baby
Savannah: But I'm oldest
Cassandra: Me and papa have to talk about it first but I guess we can talk about it together afterwards
Rahul pulls a face at this idea but doesn’t let the girls see, he doubts they'll offer any ides beyond Twerp or Nincompoop.
Tumblr media
After dinner Cassandra plays some My Sims Racing with the twins. Savannah being a geek is only to happy to “work” on her fine motor skills by playing.
Mercedes: Be quiet Viola, I’m focus (concentrating)
Viola keeps banging away at the xylophone, giggling and laughing despite her sisters protests. It’s a tight game with no clear winner but the twins are happy they get to spend time with their mama.
Cassandra: Good game my darlings, bedtime now
Savannah: Viola’s not going to bed
Cassandra: Your papa will get her now come on, we can start the new book
Mercedes: YES
The girls get in their pyjamas and climb into bed. Cassandra begins to read but they’re both asleep before the first chapter ends. Smiling she tucks Mercedes in and reaches up to stroke down Savannah’s hair.
Tumblr media
Walking into the nursery Cassandra finds a sleepwear wearing Viola clinging to Rahul’s leg while he does his best to encourage her to let go.
Cassandra: Are we not asleep yet
Rahul: She seemed to be waiting for you
Viola detaches herself from Rahul’s leg and toddles up to Cassandra, hugging her leg tight in the same way she was holding onto Rahul.
Cassandra: Oh hey, I love you *kisses forehead* Shall we have a story green bean
Viola nods happily, climbs onto bed and tucks herself under the covers. While Rahul works on cleaning up her latest potty accident Cassandra reads to Viola. Cassandra isn’t sure how much Viola understands but she seems to enjoy it right up until she falls asleep.
Tumblr media
With that we’ve reached the end of the Chopra household for this rotation. Next time we’ll get to visit the obstetrician and find out if Cassandra has just one baby on board this time.

Chopra Household: Chapter 6, Part 12
The twins celebrate TV premiere day and Viola ages up to a toddler!
Tumblr media
If Viola is attempting to say something it will be in brackets, otherwise you can assume it's just trying out sounds Mercedes has a speech delay and may get words wrong, correct wording will be in brackets if that is the case Savannah aka Honeybee Mercedes aka Little Ladybug Viola aka Green Bean
Lavina: You want... another one? I should think three are enough of a handful already
Rahul: Mum, Cassandra and I want a big family
Lavina: Well I think it’s a terrible idea. The ones you have are already disrespectful
Rahul: Think what you like, we’re trying
Lavina: I suppose you could get lucky and the fourth one will be good mannered
Rahul: Mum you have GOT to stop talking the kids down, they need to be lifted up
Lavina: All this coddling nonsense-
Rahul: I try to be strict mum, I tell them off when they mess up, but there’s only so much they can understand at their age. If you expect me to send them to bed without supper you will be disappointed
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Where’s mama? Where’s mama?
Viola: ga du da (I not know)
Cassandra: Here I am Viola
Viola: gree de na na (that’s impossible) *wails*
Cassandra: Oh, it’s okay. Its okay. Mama is here, mama is fine, you are safe green bean
Tumblr media
Rahul: Who’s crying? Viola what’s wrong
Viola: *cries* he na di (I not understand)
Cassandra: Turns out she doesn’t like peek-a-boo
Rahul: Don’t tell me I did all that practice on Milton for nothing. Here green bean, watch papa. Watch papa, I’ll do it slowly
Cassandra: Good idea. She’s looking
Rahul: Papa hides. Where did papa go? Oh! Papa is right here with Viola and Mama
Viola: *giggles* gu fa fa (okay that not so scary now)
Cassandra works on her guitar playing before her shift while Rahul takes the calm moment to spend time with Viola.
Rahul: Would you like a younger sibling? I bet you would. You would have an ally against your big sisters wouldn’t you?
Tumblr media
Mercedes: TV new (premiere) day here we GOOOOO
Lavina: What
Savannah: It’s a new episode of The Pride Family nana
Lavina: And what’s that
Savannah: Just the best cartoon show. The family’s last name is Lion so they call it the Pride family because a group of lions is a pride
Lavina: Oh how clever you are, here, have a candy
Mercedes: Where’s my candy nana
Lavina: Tell me something clever and you’ll get one
Savannah: Come on nana, Mercedes is super clever
Lavina: As soon as you get in the habit of saying please when you ask, more candy will appear
Tumblr media
Rahul: Has it started yet
Mercedes: Almost, 4 and a half minutes to go
Lavina: Don’t tell me you still watch cartoons son
Savannah: Papa is the best at cartoon watching, he always watches with us
Mercedes: Unless Viola is crying
The premiere goes well and at the end Rahul helps the girls with their homework.
Mercedes: Papa I lost my first tooth today
Rahul: Did you little ladybug
Savannah: Yeah in class. We kept it safe now we can both put our teeth under our pillows together
Lavina: But Savannah you lost your tooth several days ago
Mercedes: She was waiting for me nana so we can see the tooth fairy together
Tumblr media
Rahul: So if we tick off today, I think you’ve both earned your first scout badge
Mercedes: Yes! Which one
Rahul: Manual says scholarly aptitude
The twins stare blankly at Rahul and then pull confused faces at each other.
Rahul: It means you’ve been doing your homework
The twins understand this and happily celebrate, exchanging best friend bracelets! Rahul goes and wakes a napping Viola for some playtime.
Lavina: Rahul, she needs feeding
Rahul: We’re just playing right now because she’s bored
Lavina: Don’t let the poor thing starve. Feed her
Rahul sighs but scoops Viola off the playmat for a feeding anyway. It is a bit late for her dinner but she hasn’t seemed hungry.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Why are we awake? I think it’s past bedtime
Mercedes: MAMA!
Savannah: We missed you mama
Mercedes: We wanted to see you before bed
Cassandra: My work shift is a bit tricky isn’t it. Okay, come here. Big hugs then teeth and bed
Mercedes: Mama my tooth came out so-
Savannah: We’re going to see the tooth fairy tonight
Cassandra: Only if you actually go to sleep honeybee
Following hugs, kisses and I love you’s, the twins get to bed and tuck their teeth under their pillows.
Tumblr media
Cassandra is woken early by two excited children jumping on the bed talking over each other about fairies and simoleons. Eventually she and Rahul manage to shepherd them towards breakfast.
Savannah: They’re quick, but I know I saw a sparkle as they flew
Cassandra: Fairies do sparkle
Mercedes: We need to think, next time we’ll have to see them
Savannah: Hmm. Maybe we-
Lavina: Girls! It’s an hour until school time, why haven’t you started breakfast? And Savannah you’re not even dressed!
Cassandra and Rahul get started on their chores for the day while Lavina watches over the girls who are far to interested in fairies to eat quickly.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: *softly* Viola, green bean, time to wake up
Viola: *yawns*
Cassandra: It’s age up day. Mama will help you with your cake
Viola: pa uh Mama?
Cassandra: *gasps* Rahul! RAHUL! She said her first word
Rahul rushes in from lighting candles worrying he missed it. Cassandra scoops Viola out of the crib and turns her towards Rahul.
Cassandra: Can you say mama again for papa? Hmm? Mama for papa
Viola: Mama *yawns and stretches* lo papa
Rahul: Well done green bean! I knew you could do it *tickles tummy*
Cassandra: Please tell me you didn’t just leave fire unsupervised
Rahul blinks and runs back out of the room. Cassandra laughs as Viola nestles into her shoulder. Cassandra carries her to the kitchen and shows her the cake. Viola is very confused by it.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: We blow the candles and the flames will go. Bye bye flames
Viola: Mama fla guu (mama flames go?)
Cassandra: Here we can do it together
Cassandra blows a few raspberries on Viola's tummy until the infant is copying the blowing action. Cassandra turns her towards the cake and spit bubbles go everywhere! But with her help the candles go out and Viola giggles in delight.
Tumblr media
Viola is a toddler now, and a wild one! I can’t wait to find out her quirks.
Cassandra: Rahul I think we ought to see if she can potty before we head out
Rahul: Yes, that's sounds sensible
Cassandra: Would you help me with potty time
Rahul: Of course my darling. *switches to address Viola* Does someone need to go potty?
Viola: Ga ra papa (I don't know papa)
Cassandra: Sit down green bean
The couple try their best to explain things to Viola but the two and a half year old isn’t following and has an accident.
Rahul: Oh well, can’t be perfect on the first try. Do you want to go on a trip Viola? Hmm?
Cassandra: Let's go to the rec centre, just until the girls will be due home
Rahul: Sounds good. Okay green bean, time to go explore!

Chopra Household: Chapter 6, Part 11
Rahul and Cassandra get some time to themselves then it's time to taste test the golden egg!
Tumblr media
CW: Moderate sim spice
If Viola is attempting to say something it will be in brackets, otherwise you can assume it's just trying out sounds Mercedes has a speech delay and may get words wrong, correct wording will be in brackets if that is the case Savannah aka Honeybee Mercedes aka Little Ladybug Viola aka Green Bean
Cassandra takes a nap after a long shift while Rahul and Lavina get the kids to bed. Rahul finds his wife snoring softly when he heads to bed. He doesn’t want to wake her but past experience has taught him that if he doesn’t she’ll wake up cold.
Rahul: My darling, time to get in bed
Cassandra: Hmm… Oh, but… I missed you at work. I want to talk *sleepily* I like your voice
Rahul: *chuckles* Will you at least get under the covers? Then I promise I can talk to you until you fall back to sleep
Casandra: Deal. I love you
Tumblr media
Rahul: I love you to
He pulls back the covers and replaces them as she climbs in. He leans against her hip and takes time to admire her. Sometimes he forgets how lucky he is that Cassandra ended up loving him back.
Rahul: Are you comfortable now
Cassandra: Very. And I won’t get cold so you can stop worrying about that
Rahul: Sorry my darling, I’m always going to worry about you. It’s part of being married
Cassandra: So you married me so that you could worry about me
Rahul: Well that and…
Cassandra: Lots of woohoo and babies
Rahul: Something like that
Rahul massages the top of the sheets and duvet that runs over Cassandra’s hip, enjoying the spark in her eyes. He still doesn't know what possessed him to show up at her house the day she turned 18 and propose to her, but sometimes there's no fighting your feelings. He'd been making deliveries to her house since he was 16 and once the 13 year old let him inside the house rather than making him leave the bags on the stoop they formed a close if unconventional friendship.
Tumblr media
Rahul: How are you handling everything
Cassandra: With the girls? I mean I know it’ll likely be tough for Mercedes at school but Savannah sticks to her like glue. And Viola, she’s hitting so many milestones. I didn’t know if having your mum here was going to help but it’s nice to have an extra set of hands. What about you?
Rahul: *sighs* Savannah, I mean we knew right away she was going to be a handful didn’t we? Mercedes seems more unsure of herself under the bravado, we need to make sure she doesn’t feel invisible. Viola is still holding her first word in *pouts*
Cassandra: *giggles* She’ll speak when she’s ready, Mercedes did. Don’t worry big guy, we’re doing good
Tumblr media
Rahul: Are you doing good
Cassandra: Very. Although I do feel like a bit of misbehaving
Rahul: Is that right
Cassandra: Mmhmm
Rahul: We’ll have to be careful mum doesn’t hear us
Cassandra: She didn’t hear us this afternoon, she won’t hear us now
Cassandra pulls Rahul’s hand closer and begins kissing it. Rahul manages to maintain his composure until she begins to slide his fingers into her mouth and his lust overcomes him.
Tumblr media
After more than a decade of being intimate the pair know what each other likes in bed and other less conventional places. It’s like Cassandra said, they make a symphony together. Every time Cassandra is amazed at how lovingly Rahul looks at her, his green eyes flooding with emotion.
For Rahul, he feels accomplishment every time he brings her pleasure. When she first said she thought she was demisexual he had no idea what it meant, but she talked him through it. That for her it meant that she didn't perceive someone as attractive until she got to know them, really know them. It took him months after that to work up the courage to ask if she thought he was cute, but he was certainly pleased with the answer.
Now he knew every sigh, shiver and squeal Cassandra made meant that she loved him. She had learned who he was, the good and the bad about him, and that connection opened her eyes to seeing him as desirable. Rahul knew it may be foolish but he did feel a sense of pride knowing he was the only one his wife was attracted to.
Tumblr media
When they were finished they felt like they were the only two people in the world.
Rahul: I hope we made another baby
Cassandra: Me to but…
Rahul: Tell me my darling
She stroked his head of curls and like usual his eyelids grew heavy. He fought to stay awake though, he wanted to listen.
Cassandra: Savannah wants to go camping. I don’t know that I’ll be great doing that pregnant
Rahul: If I remember you got pregnant halfway through our last trip there and managed splendidly
Cassandra: *chuckles* So you’re saying don’t worry… just like I was telling you
Rahul: *smiles* yeah. See, we’re the perfect pair
Tumblr media
After being put to bed early Viola needs a change and a feed in the early morning. Luckily nana Lavina is here to help!
Lavina: Okay, open up
Viola: *keeps mouth closed*
Lavina: I know you must be hungry, don’t you want some nice food
Viola opens her mouth to try and babble that she’s bored of carrot but before she knows it the spoon is in. Reluctantly she swallows but as nana feeds her she ends up smearing the food all over herself. She may have a good appetite but really she just wants a nice bottle.
Lavina: Oh now, we can’t put you to bed like this now can we? Best have an early morning bubble bath
Viola: ga loo dun (no more carrot please)
Tumblr media
Cluckton: *crows* Hear ye, hear ye... I'm the boss, that's the message
Rahul: That’s Cluckton. I think I’m going to hire a ranch hand
Cassandra: Really? You love gardening
Rahul: I know but I have other skills I need to work on and I want to make sure you have enough time for your music. Now, go have a nice bath and I’ll sort out breakfast
Entering the kitchen Rahul decides to use the golden egg for the household’s breakfast. After a quick call to hire a ranch hand his mind wanders back to the fun he and Cassandra has last night. He is indeed a lucky man.
Tumblr media
Mercedes: Papa are you daydreaming
Rahul: Why
Mercedes: The stove is on fire
Rahul: *scoffs* the stove is not- oh damn, fire
Mercedes: *sighs* I told you
Rahul: Let’s not panic. It may seem like fire but it’s really just broken
Mercedes: Umm, it looks like fire to me
Rahul: If it were fire I’d be able to extinguish something but repairing seems like the only approach
Mercedes: Papa, does the watcher make things break
Tumblr media
Rahul: I don’t think so. Some sims think the watcher does but I reckon the watcher fixes things for us
Mercedes: If not I’ll scratch their watching eyes out *hisses*
Savannah: All done in the bathroom! You can have it now Mer- Papa why is the stove on fire
Rahul: *sighs* It’s not full fire, just give me a second honeybee
He manages to fix the oven and resume the eggs. Good thing to as we do not want to waste our golden egg.
Tumblr media
The golden egg mixture leaves the household dazed BUT they also get a nice golden glow for the morning, as well as some cute cartoon stars.
Tumblr media
Golden eggs, now Mr Cluckton approved!

Chopra Household: Chapter 6, Part 9
Time for Savannah and Mercedes to head off for their first day of school while Cassandra battles a bug.
Tumblr media
If Viola is attempting to say something it will be in brackets, otherwise you can assume it's just trying out sounds Mercedes has a speech delay and may get words wrong, correct wording will be in brackets if that is the case Savannah aka Honeybee Mercedes aka Little Ladybug Viola aka Green Bean
Cluckton: *crows* Hear ye, hear ye! First day of school for the kiddos
Squidge: *clucks* so what
Cluckton: *clucks* don’t sass me young lady, you’re still young enough to peck
The girls get up and ready. Since the lot has simple living turned on it’s leftovers for breakfast rather than cereal.
Rahul: Why are you in here Mercedes
Mercedes: I know mama is sick, I just want to tell her I love her before school
Rahul: The watcher won’t let her die from a cold, I promise
After a while Cassandra wakes and hugs Mercedes for good measure before heading for the shower.
Tumblr media
Mercedes: Papa?
Rahul: Yes little ladybug
Mercedes: What if no one likes me at school
Rahul: What makes you think anyone wouldn’t like you
Mercedes: I get my words mixed
Rahul: Mercedes, you are a wonderful unique girl and anyone who can’t see that doesn’t deserve a friend as special as you
Mercedes: Are we still going to the doctor after school
Rahul: Yes, just to make sure your mama and I are doing everything we can to support you. Come on, I want a photo of my girls in their new uniforms
Tumblr media
Here they are! Off to Henford public school, looking neat as pins. Savannah is excited and promises to stick with her more nervous twin for the day. They become best friends forever!
Tumblr media
Rahul: What are you doing
Cassandra: Changing and feeding Viola
Rahul: But my darling you’re sick
Cassandra: Yes but I have the day off work now-
Rahul: Because you’re sick...
Cassandra: *sighs* fine big guy, I’ll nap, will that make you happy
Rahul: Yes please. Pass Viola here, I can watch over her for today
Cassandra: Thank you. I love you
Rahul: I love you to, say bye bye Viola. Can you say bye bye mama
Viola babbles but still no words yet. She stays in the back carrier while Rahul sorts out his own breakfast and washes up.
Tumblr media
Rahul: You know green bean, you can’t keep quiet forever. You’ll have to talk to me some day
Viola: be la du du (bubbles tickle)
Rahul: Who wants duckie? Can you say duckie for papa
Viola: ah ah (duckie)
Rahul: Alright Viola. I have to take care of the animals for mama so you’ll have to stay on your playmat
Viola: ge lu doo (but that chicken is looking at me)
Rahul: Come one, come all! Food time friends! Food time!
Cluckton: *crows* you heard the man
Tumblr media
Viola giggles and begins to play on her mat while the animals mill around her, bleating clucking and crowing at her. Rahul collects the eggs and discovers someone laid a golden egg! Not a hatchable one but a good sign for the future.
Tumblr media
Rahul: Charlie! Are you here for a cutting of something
Charlie: Just wanted a break from the snow. The garden is going pretty good though
Rahul: I can’t believe you’re doing an indoor garden, surely that’s going against nature
Charlie: The saplings wouldn’t like the snow Rahul
Rahul: Still, there are plants that grow in the snow and-
Charlie: Umm… is your infant meant to look like that
Viola: *whimpers* de na loo (why do I hurt)
Rahul: Oh no! Viola, are you alright? Papa is here. Oh damn, Cass is sick, I better take her to the doctors just to be safe
Charlie: Feel better soon little one. Give my love to Cass yeah
Rahul: Will do. Come here green bean, up we go!
Tumblr media
After her nap Cassandra is feeling brighter so decides to try and finish her latest piano song. After a while Rahul brings Viola in. Apparently the poor love has an ear infection. He’s given her the antibiotics but there’s not much else to do but wait. Cassandra tries to distract her with singing and playing and Viola manages to push herself up on all fours now and then.
Tumblr media
After having a… moment when she arrived home, Mercedes goes with Rahul to the psychologist. Savannah meanwhile settles down to do her homework by the pile of presents that came in the mail. Rahul and Mercedes get home with the news that Mercedes is a gifted student. This will come with benefits and consequences. While Henford public school may be able to cater to her, there is the possibility of sending her somewhere more academic focused if that’s what she wants.
Tumblr media
Savannah: Does this mean you’ll be the smartest kid in class
Mercedes: I don’t know, my words are still trippy (tricky)
Savannah: Not everything needs words though. Hey if you can understand math give me some help okay
Mercedes: I still have to be learned (taught) things first. But they said I might be able to get into a flash school
Savannah: Wait… then we’d be apart!
Mercedes: I didn’t say I would
Savannah: I mean I want you to be good but you’re my twin, I want to be with my bestie every day
Tumblr media
Rahul: Girls! Dinner! Come and get it
Savannah: Papa does Mercedes have to go to a different school
Rahul: Not if she doesn’t want to
Mercedes: I don’t want to be away from Savannah
Rahul: Your mama has been too sick to talk to but I imagine she’ll agree it’s best to wait and see how you settle into Henford first
Savannah: Good! We had such fun tricking kids on the playground today
Rahul: *not amused* Did you now
Mercedes: Yes! We both imagined (pretended) to be one person

Chopra Household: Chapter 6, Part 8
The birthday continues! Most of the family have appointments to attend afterwards leaving Savannah and Viola under the care of nana Lavina. I mean it's not like she could be any worse than Alana the (insert your favourite swear word for mean nanny)
Tumblr media
BTW it was daylight savings here so that's why my posts may seem an hour shifted for you...
If Viola is attempting to say something it will be in brackets, otherwise you can assume it's just trying out sounds Mercedes has a speech delay and may get words wrong, correct wording will be in brackets if that is the case Savannah aka Honeybee Mercedes aka Little Ladybug Viola aka Green Bean
Mercedes: Hey nana
Lavina: Happy birthday kiddo
Mercedes: I have bad news, papa went to the doctor and they found out he’s sick
Lavina: What? Oh why didn’t he tell me? I can’t lose him
Mercedes: Kidding!
Lavina: That’s not very funny young lady
Bizarre thing happened. Mercedes had rolled a like of deception but after this got a prompt saying she felt mischief was wrong? I like the game to have some say so while I did not add a dislike of mischief I changed her like of deception to silly behaviour to match her sister.
Tumblr media
Milton: Oh hey you have cake
Savannah: Of course Milton, it’s a birthday party
Milton: That’s uncle Milton to you
Savannah: Mama do we really have to call him uncle? He’s only 2 years older than us
Cassandra: It’s important to be polite to family honeybee
Lavina: And respectful! You girls could learn more respect
Mercedes: *sighs* It was one joke nana
Cassandra: Lavina I have an appointment and Rahul needs to take Mercedes to one. Could you watch the kids for us please?
Savannah: I can watch the house mama
Lavina: Of course I can dear, take all the time you need
Tumblr media
Savannah: But nana I can do it
Lavina: You’re six, you couldn’t take care of a fire. Now I hear your sister crying, go play outside or learn something
Savannah: Oh maybe I can find some cool bugs!
Lavina: Just don’t bring them into the house
Poor Viola has been trying to get to sleep but is still a bit overwhelmed by the party.
Lavina: Now what’s all this? You are making a habit of crying every time you see me Viola
Viola: *cries* ge da noo lu (I'm so tired, clapping took it out of me)
Lavina: Is nana scary huh? Big bad nana. Close your eyes and sleep, big bad nana can defend your crib from the monsters huh
Following some soothing Viola does manage to fall asleep as Lavina watches over her.
Tumblr media
Outside Savannah isn’t having much luck. But around by the garden she spots some locusts, perfect, papa will approve of catching them! She grabs at them and manages to get hold of 2. Perhaps she can convince mama and papa to take her and Mercedes to Granite Falls so she can find more! Back inside she decides to tackle some homework.
Milton: Why are you holding your pencil like that
Savannah: Like what
Alexander: Don’t be rude Milton, not everyone does things the same way
Tumblr media
Milton: Did you never use crayons
Savannah: *gruffly* I have a motor delay actually, pencils are hard
Milton: Oh, sorry
Alexander: That’ll teach you not to be rude
Savannah: I think I’ll go see if mama is back
Milton: I am sorry!
...
Cassandra is pumping in the spare room when Savannah finds her.
Savannah: Mama, can I still go to OT now I’m a child
Cassandra: Of course you can honeybee. It might be called something different but any support you need, we’ll find for you
Tumblr media
Savannah: Then Uncle Alexander told him off
Mercedes: Nice!
Savannah: So what did the brain doctor say
Mercedes: They want me to do… Papa how did they say it?
Rahul: Your sister is getting referred to another type of doctor to see if she needs extra help at school
Mercedes: Can I not go to school?
Rahul: No! Whatever you need we can sort but you’ll be best having your first day with your sister
Savannah: Yeah. You don’t want to leave me alone do you? We do everything together
Tumblr media
Mercedes: Except OT and word class
Cassandra brings Viola to the table and the family begin eating. For some reason everyone is migrating away from Viola?
Mercedes: Mama did your point tent (appointment) go okay
Cassandra: Apparently I have ADHD which I guess is a bit of a surprise but I’ll be fine. Everybody’s brain has to work in its own way
Rahul: Exactly! Now Viola, how about some peanut butter puffs? Nice and yummy
Viola looks at her papa, confused. Why is what he holding bigger than the things on the plate? It can’t just be her eyesight playing up, can it?
Tumblr media
Savannah: Mama, can we have a trip to Granite Falls? I’d love to see some more bugs
Cassandra: Actually papa and I have been talking and we’d like you two to join scouts
Mercedes: Scouts? Why
Rahul: Nature is important to us, we want you both to learn to love it
Cassandra: Plus it will leave after school times free for OT and word class
The girls remain skeptical but agree. Meanwhile Viola is unsure about the taste of peanut butter puffs (and their creepy resemblance to banana once she picks them up) but one thing is for sure, they are fun to play with!
Tumblr media
Savannah: Do we have to go to bed mama
Cassandra: It’s getting late honeybee, and don’t you want to check out the new bunk beds
Mercedes: I call dibs on the bottom one! That way you can still tuck me in mama
Cassandra: *smiles* alright but we need to clean up dinner first
Savannah: I got the plates
Cassandra: Mercedes could you put the leftovers away before they spoil please
Mercedes: Yes mama
Tumblr media
Rahul: How do you two like the bunks
Savannah: It’s great papa. I can be up high just like butterflies are
Rahul: Good night rugrats, I love you two
Twins: Goodnight papa
Savannah climbs up to the top and snuggles in while Cassandra tucks Mercedes in.
Cassandra: Goodnight Mercedes. I love you both, have good dreams
Twins: Love you mama

Chopra Household: Chapter 6, Part 7
Time for my toddlers to become children. I've already stretched the toddler lifespan and I'm still not emotionally prepared.
Tumblr media
If Viola is attempting to say something it will be in brackets, otherwise you can assume it's just trying out sounds Mercedes has a speech delay and may get words wrong, correct wording will be in brackets if that is the case Savannah aka Honeybee Mercedes aka Little Ladybug Viola aka Green Bean
Before heading to bed Cassandra decides to peek in on Viola. Good thing she did as the little infant has a big stink cloud, probably one good stretch or bladder emptying away from a blowout.
Cassandra: Oh dear, wake up green bean
Cassandra strokes Viola’s belly until her eyes flutter open.
Viola: ge la doo (what mama)
Cassandra: Come on, we need to change that diaper
Cassandra gingerly carries Viola over to the changing table where she begins the delicate cleaning operation. Viola becomes aware of her diaper situation and begins to cry at the irritating squishy.
Viola: *cries* he na loo (I smell bad)
Cassandra: Just hold on Viola, we’ll have a nice clean one soon, mama promises
Tumblr media
All clean, Cassandra decides to try encouraging Viola to crawl again when her older sisters aren’t commenting. Viola manages to balance a few times on all fours but whenever it comes to moving her limbs forward she ends up collapsing. This of course leads to tears because being an infant is tough. Cassandra gives her a soothing cuddle and lets her nurse before settling her back in her crib for the night.
Tumblr media
Cluckton: *crows* Hear ye, hear ye! Important day! The waddlers have their birthday! We will have visitors so remain vigilant outside the coop, snakes could could from any direction
Squidge: *clucks disapprovingly* Come on dad, 5 more minutes
Inside Cassandra wakes up to discover her milk has leaked in the night. Sighing she decides that it’s best to pump before a shower, then she can get properly clean. Rahul let’s his boss know he’s working from home today for his toddlers. He has to submit a grant proposal but before that he mixes some batter to make two strawberry cakes for his eldest girls.
Tumblr media
Cluckton: *crows* Toxic situation! Toxic situation! Mama where are YOU? We need emergency mini goat cleaning
Turtle: *bleats* Do you think you could have crowed that any louder
Seven: *bleats in clean laughter*
Cassandra heads outside but before tending to the animals she collects the eggs and cleans the coop. Rahul wakes Viola up and after a feeding leaves her to play in the nursery. Viola knows that mama would be happy if she can crawl so she has solo tummy time. Alas, no big improvements.
Tumblr media
Mercedes: It our birth day. We… how old we
Savannah: Six years!
Mercedes: You think mama invite Uncle Milton
Savannah: He not so bad, he just grump face
The girls decide to spend the end of their toddlerhood playing in the yard with the animals. Mercedes decides she wants to try and hug Seven but Seven is not in the mood, angrily headbutting her and stomping her hooves.
Mercedes: MAMA! Seven mean
Cassandra: Oh dear. Try just petting her if she’s not wanting a hug ladybug. Not everyone likes hugs
Mercedes: Okay mama *deep breath* I try
Tumblr media
Mercedes: Nice Seven, I just want pet…
Seven obliges and bends her head to give the toddler access.
Mercedes: *giggles* Mama! Mama I did it!
Across the yard Savannah is seeking comfort from Mr Cluckton, pulling him into a hug.
Savannah: Mr Cluck, I had potty accident. I six now, it sad to have accident
Cluckton: *clucks comfortingly* It’s okay, Squidge pooped in the coop for years
Savannah: I go find Mercedes. Bye bye Cluck Cluck
Cluckton: *clucks* Bye little waddler
Tumblr media
Mercedes: Mama I try hug Mrs Fea… Fea…
Cassandra: If you want to call Mrs Feathers Mrs F or F I’m sure she won’t mind
Mercedes: Yay!
She gleefully gathers the chicken in her arms for a hug.
Mercedes: It okay Mrs F. I go to words class then I’ll say whole name
Mrs Feathers: *clucks* Don’t worry, I don’t have an ego like my husband, you call me whatever you want
Tumblr media
Inside Rahul submits his grant proposal. Looks like it’s a no this time, oh well, there’s always next time. Viola is busy playing with the blocks in the nursery and has learned how to pincer grasp! Outside Mercedes and Savannah share a last toddler hug as the party gets underway. Rahul tries to call everyone to the two cakes in the kitchen.
Tumblr media
Guests include Cassandra’s younger brothers Alexander and Milton. Alexander’s husband James is also here as well as Lavina, Rahul’s mother. To say she has a rocky relationship with her granddaughters would be putting it lightly. Raul carries eldest Savannah over to the cake and tells her to make a wish. Thinking hard Savannah blows on the candles. Back down on the ground she’s ready to turn into a child.
Tumblr media
Hold everything! Viola would like to interrupt this celebration by revealing she can clap now!
Viola: *clapping* he na roo da (I so clever)
Mercedes: *pouts* Mama I want it to be about me, not Viola
Cassandra: Oh I know ladybug, it is. It’s your birthday
Viola: Ge na lay (I am the best)
Mercedes: Can you help me blow
Cassandra: Of course. Remember to make a wish
Mercedes really wants to wish for Viola to disappear, but she knows mama wouldn’t approve, so she tries to think of something else.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Alright Mercedes, make a wish and blow
Mercedes: Yes mama
Pulling as much air into her little lungs as she can Mercedes puffs out and with Cassandra’s help all the candles are blown out.
Mercedes: I did it mama! Thank mama
Cassandra: You’re welcome little ladybug
On the ground and Mercedes gets ready to spin just like her older twin.
Tumblr media
Here we are, Rahul and his clones daughters. Sorry folks but the twins have decided on matching looks to confuse their younger sister as much as possible. Mercedes is on the left and Savannah the right. Savannah has hair clips, Mercedes does not. While they have matching butterfly necklaces Savannah has a darker one than Mercedes. Savannah rolled the geek trait as well as the Social Butterfly aspiration, the like of bugs and purple as a third favourite colour. By sheer dumb luck clingy and aggressive Mercedes rolled the erratic trait as well as the Creative Genius aspiration, the like of cross stitch and grey as a third favourite colour.

Chopra Household: Chapter 6, Part 4
Time to investigate if my Chopra's need any extra support!
Tumblr media
CW: Mean nanny, distressed infant
If Viola is attempting to say something it will be in brackets, otherwise you can assume it's just trying out sounds Savannah aka Honeybee Mercedes aka Little Ladybug Viola aka Green Bean
I think Viola is about to unlock her sleep through the night milestone when-
Cluckton: *crows* Hear ye, hear ye! It is dawn, 5:10am with a chance of showers! Get up everyone! New Years eve!
Rahul gets up but it would appear Cluckton’s crows haven’t disturbed Cassandra. Rahul knows she only got up to pump a few hours ago so has likely slept less than two hours since. Best thing to do is let her sleep. He didn’t have to get up to tend to Viola in the night so he is happy to go and see her before the day gets underway.
Tumblr media
Rahul: Good morning Viola! Did my big brave green bean survive the rain
Viola: ee ee ap (yes papa)
Rahul: Now mama is sleeping but I know she’ll be excited to see you. For now papa can give you breakfast and a change
As normal Viola is delighted to find the teet of a milk bottle pressed to her lips and greedily downs the milk. After burping Rahul changes her diaper and puts her in some day clothes.
Rahul: Now mama, papa, Savannah and Mercedes have to go out this morning so you’re going to get a very nice lady who will come look after you
Viola: *whimpers*
Rahul: Don’t worry, we’ll all be here for a bit yet. Now sit down here and I can get you a rattle. Look, it’s a cute little bunny! We have bunnies in the garden, I think you’ll love them green bean
Tumblr media
New Years Eve is here and so are the clouds!
Mercedes: Mama, mama lift! Want snuggle
Cassandra scoops up Mercedes and gives her a snuggle and kiss before placing her in the high chair.
Savannah: Me next mama
Cassandra lifts Savannah and snuggles her. She blows a raspberry on her stomach making the toddler giggle before placing her in her chair. She looks around and lastly lifts Viola gently to her seat.
Rahul: What do we want for breakfast ladies
Twins: EGGS
Rahul: Scrambled eggs it is
Tumblr media
Mercedes: NO PLEASE PAPA
Rahul: There is no need to yell. Now what do you mean ladybug
Savannah: We like folded egg
Mercedes: When papa make pretty
Rahul: Omlettes? Eggs with filling folded up?
Mercedes: YES PAPA
Rahul sets about making the breakfast while the twins babble to each other. Cassandra uses the lull to have a shower and Viola takes her time to see if she can see anything in the room. It looks like the only thing in focus apart from her siblings is the ice bucket on the counter. She doesn’t know what it is but she likes the shiny!
Tumblr media
Rahul: Here we are team, folded eggs
Savannah: YAY!
Rahul: Now Mercedes, what must we remember
Mercedes: Food no fly
Rahul: That’s right, good memory. Now make sure you eat it before it gets cold. When we’re done we and mama have a special mission
Mercedes: *dubious* What
Savannah: *through food* Will it be fun
Rahul: What do you think darling
Cassandra: We’ll all show up with our good attitudes and make it fun
Mercedes: *still dubious* what
Rahul: You’ll see now eat up
Tumblr media
The twins are delighted to learn Viola will not be coming on this adventure. They always prefer to have their parents to themselves. After a big hug they both notice Viola has drifted off to sleep in her chair. They look around then Savannah carefully tiptoes until she’s right beside the chair. On Mercedes signal she throws the biggest loudest tantrum she can, waking Viola up.
Rahul: Savannah! What have I told you about waking your sister up!
Mercedes: But Viola poopy face
The twins burst into laughter and Rahul mutters under his breath. After he gives them both a firm telling off Cassandra takes them to get ready.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: It's probably a no but does anyone need a new diaper
Mercedes: Me mama!
Cassandra: I thought we had almost mastered the potty skill
Mercedes: I like mama time
Cassandra sighs and snuggles her cleaned up toddler.
Savannah: Mama where we go
Cassandra: You remember how we saw the doctor yesterday to make sure our bodies were healthy? Today we’re going to see another doctor who will make sure our brains are healthy
The twins share a conspiratory smirk. Of course this mission won’t include Viola. She doesn’t have a brain to check.
Tumblr media
The previous default nanny passed away this week so the Chopra household is the first to meet Alana.
Tumblr media
(I would like to state for the record here that she was angry and bitter before interacting with the children. My kids are not 100% responsible for this attitude. I just went with it. Okay, back to the story)
After some time playing with the blocks Viola realises she hasn’t seen any humans for a while. Feeling sad she begins to cry, hoping that mama or papa will appear to comfort her. Her wailing eventually brings in Alana.
Alana: What the f- What is your problem? I’m here now, calm down
Viola: *wails* ga nee do (I don't know you)
Alana: Should have known my first job would be with a rich spoiled brat. What do you want? Your parents said you were just fed and changed
Tumblr media
Viola cries and stretches her little arms upwards. What she needs is a nice soothing cuddle.
Alana: The heck is that supposed to mean? Look I know you can’t be hungry or soiled so pull yourself together and stop crying
Viola sniffles and wipes her tears from under her glasses. Why won’t this lady just pick her up? She loves being carried and desperately wants a cuddle. Are her parents gone forever? Will she ever see them again?
Tumblr media
Alana eventually scoops her up, still trying to shush her.
Alana: Now it can’t be that bad can it?
Viola: *through tears* ma pa ew na (Do mama and papa still love me)
Alana sighs and begins trying to cheer Viola up by tickling her tummy and every so often going, cochie coochie coo. Viola only gets more distressed however and begins trying to bat her hand away.
Alana: Oh you little stuck up ship, stop sulking
To the surprise of nobody with a brain this is not at all comforting to Viola. The next time Alana’s finger dances along her chin she grabs for it. She may not have teeth just yet but she can chomp down on it as hard as her gums allow.
Tumblr media
Alana: Gah! That hurt!
Viola: ne da boo (Are my parents alive)
Alana: I have had enough of this nonsense. If you’re so grumpy you clearly need a nap. Where the heck are your sleep clothes
After rifling through drawers Alana finds the regular night onesie and gets Viola out of her day clothes. Laying Viola down in the crib she tries to soothe her to sleep and switches on the mobile. Seeing Viola relax with the lullaby she storms off, grabbing the dirty laundry to wash. Viola falls into a restful sleep filled with dreams featuring her beloved family, yes even her sisters are there.
Tumblr media
The girls have their results. Eldest Savannah appears to have a motor delay so the psychiatrist recommends occupational therapy for her. Mercedes however has a speech language delay. Can I just say I LOVE that the mod gave her this because she didn’t say her first word until she was a toddler! It fits. Anyway speech therapy is recommended for her. Cassandra and Rahul take the girls to their first sessions and both twins feel optimistic afterwards.

Chopra Household: Chapter 6, Part 1
Reacquainting ourselves with the family.
Tumblr media
If Viola is attempting to say something it will be in brackets, otherwise you can assume it's just trying out sounds Savannah aka Honeybee Mercedes aka Little Ladybug Viola aka Green Bean
Here we are in Henford. 3am and it’s family potty time!
Savannah: Mama I need help (she is fussy)
Cassandra: Okay honeybee, let’s do it together
Mercedes: Papa help? I not like by self (she is clingy)
Rahul: Sure little ladybug. Viola should be okay for a few minutes
Twins: *grumbling noises*
Tumblr media
In the nursery Viola is oblivious to the sass of her sisters, preferring to suck on her hand. After getting bored of staring at the few things her eyes can focus on she decides to have some solo tummy time while waiting for a feed. Over we go! It’s a challenge when she can’t quite see the ground or her hands properly, she might need new lenses soon. She persists however and manages to get up on her hands a few times.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: We better go to the doctors after this
Rahul: Yeah, we need to get them vaccinated
Mercedes: What sin ate ed
Cassandra: It keeps you healthy
Savannah: But mama it night
Cassandra and Rahul look at each other. The girls are 5 now so it may as well be time.
Rahul: Rugrats, mama and papa believe that there is a watcher who looks after us. Sometimes new things come into out lives at 3am out of the blue
Cassandra: We have to have faith that if we need to do things in the middle of the night the watcher will take care of us
Tumblr media
Mercedes: What if not care
Cassandra: Oh little ladybug, I promise, the watcher loves you and your sisters
Mercedes can’t help thinking that if there is a watcher who loved her then Viola wouldn’t have been born… Savannah happily celebrates a successful potty session while Mercedes sadly spins to go see the doctor.
Everyone is vaccinated and well today, and fits in some naps before the day kicks off. At dawn Cluckton does his normal alarm clock routine and the animals outside wake up. It’s a cloudy summer day, with the threat of rain. Luckily the domain around the coop is covered so the chickens, mini sheep and mini goat have a place to stay dry.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: All done with needles now green bean. Do you need a diaper change? Oh I think so
Viola: ca na doo doo
Cassandra: Did you just babble at mama? I think you did! What a clever girl you are
Outside the rain has begun much to the disappointment of the local wildlife. Cluckton sounds a border alert and Rahul stops feeding to have a look around.
Rahul: Binky? Is that you? Oh it’s always good to know you’ve survived a rotation
Binky: *wiggles nose*
Rahul: Here, I have wool, your favourite remember
Binky: *produces gift*
Rahul: A cross stitch pattern? Nice. I don’t sew but it’s appreciated. Maybe one day you’ll help with the garden
Binky: *twitches ears in not yet*
Tumblr media
Mercedes and Savannah are up and about now. After changing out of their sleepwear they go in search of food. Rahul has left some fruit salad out for them if he’s busy and they both grab bowls. Mercedes always likes to sit up by the table while Savannah sometimes chooses to stretch her legs and have her food in the lounge.
After changing Viola the milestone sparkles and music start and Cassandra gets excited! She loves seeing her kids gain milestones, being a mama means a lot to her after her father ignored her and her mother vanished.
Tumblr media
Viola turns over and sits up all by herself! What a smart green bean! Unfortunately Mercedes heard the milestone music and enters the nursery to see the display. She sighs in dismay, why must Viola get so much of mama’s attention! Savannah toddles past her and decides to climb on the rocking chair. She’s extra noisy as she does, knowing it upsets Viola.
Viola: *fusses* ca na loo do
Savannah: Viola being stupid
Cassandra: *sighs* Savannah, Viola is just smaller than you, she needs more help
Mercedes: She steal help *sniffles* I no have help
Tumblr media
Viola: *cries in frustration*
Mercedes: *sniffles* It truth! She greedy
Viola pouts and Cassandra goes to give Mercedes a quick comforting hug and kiss before returning to the angry infant.
Cassandra: Little ladybug, what did I just say
Savannah: Viola need help cause…
Mercedes: She stupid baby!
Viola: ga na du loo
Cassandra: *scooping up Viola* Oh green bean, it’s okay, shush now. Darlings if you go play I promise, I’ll play with you once Viola is settled and I’ve done my chores
Twins: Promise?
Cassandra: Yes my darlings
Tumblr media
Turns out despite the earlier diaper change Viola has once again soiled herself. Cassandra does her best to comfort the crying infant as she cleans up the mess. Outside Turtle decides to give me a heart attack by rolling on her back. Turns out she’s just playing in the rain though. After Cassandra survives the stinky mess she puts Viola in the back carrier for a nap while she goes to find some breakfast of her own.
Tumblr media
Cassandra is clumsy and after having her breakfast she fumbles the plate. It falls in the sink with a clatter and she flinches, waiting to hear Viola scream in response. A moment passes and it appears Viola is still snoring softly. Cassandra sighs in relief and heads out to license her songs for the week. One particular puddle causes her trouble and she almost skids over. Luckily for Viola she manages to right herself and make it to the letterbox to send off the licences.
Tumblr media
Rahul: How’s my little green bean
Cassandra: Grumpy. She’s exhausted I think and her sisters aren’t being to friendly. I never know how much of it she can understand
Rahul: Oh dear, do you have two bully big sisters? You know what would help besides an epic telling off?
Cassandra: *smirks* Another kid for Viola to play with?
Rahul: *smiles* exactly. Do you want me to put her down for a nap?
Cassandra: Please. I want to tend the coop and for some reason I can’t if she’s on my back
Rahul scoops Viola into his arms and carries her inside, cooing back to her babble. He puts her down on the playmat to rest so she’ll have some toys when she wakes up. Although she needs a nap Viola does not approve of being left alone to have one.

Chopra Household: Chapter 6, Part 2
The twins make themselves pretty like their mama then after baths the family have a photo together.
Tumblr media
If Viola is attempting to say something it will be in brackets, otherwise you can assume it's just trying out sounds Savannah aka Honeybee Mercedes aka Little Ladybug Viola aka Green Bean
We join the toddler twins who are playing on the deck.
Mercedes: I me like mama
Savannah: Mama pretty
Rahul: You two are so pretty you don’t need any make up
Mercedes turns and pouts.
Rahul: ...but I guess practicing can’t do any harm. Can you two try and be nice to Viola
Mercedes: *hums to self*
Savannah: Go car go!
Rahul: *sighs* Guess we’ll talk about it later then
Tumblr media
Rahul heads off the porch to go tend the garden, leaving the girls to their own devices. Mercedes completes her look and is very happy with it!
Savannah: Mercedes? Viola not leaving
Mercedes: *pushes to stand* She greedy
Savannah: Need new plan
Mercedes: We mean, she go
Savannah: I not know. She not left yet, it been a whole forever
Mercedes: Maybe poop again
Tumblr media
Rahul goes to check on his aubergine. They’re looking good but he doesn’t want to harvest them just yet. Cassandra sorts out the coop chores while Rahul helps her by cleaning and tending Seven and Turtle.
Tumblr media
Savannah takes her turn at the makeup station while Mercedes plays with the ball and hoop.
Savannah: Poop not work last. We get caught
Mercedes: No Seven poop. We poop, make mama change us
Savannah: *giggles* then Viola be by self. I done! I look pretty like mama
Mercedes: We pretty like mama
Savannah: I go see if mama ready to play
Cassandra has been helping Rahul tend the garden but can’t resist the pull of cute toddlers.
Tumblr media
Mercedes: Mama why we play here
Cassandra: Because we also need baths
Savannah: But we pretty
Cassandra: I can see honeybee but Papa wants us to take a nice family photo when everyone is in their pj’s
Mercedes: Me first, me first!
Savannah: But I older
Cassandra: We’ll do you right after. In an ideal world I’d be able to bath you both at once but apparently not
Mercedes takes a moment to snuggle into Cassandra’s shoulder once she’s picked up. She wipes some of the makeup on Cassandra’s top but nobody minds.
Tumblr media
Viola wakes up from her nap feeling happy and refreshed. Rahul who had been sitting and watching her sleep scoops her up for a feed. She has the good appetite quirk and drains the bottle quickly.
Rahul: You just stay and play here for a minute green bean while I go check if your sisters are ready for a photo. If they are we can try out the new onesie, doesn’t that sound exciting?
Viola: *sticks toe in mouth*
Rahul: Great job! You are making wonderful progress on your movement, yes you are
Viola: Fe la doo doo
Tumblr media
Mercedes: Mama have bath to
Cassandra: *giggles* I hope not *pulls funny face*
Mercedes promptly splashes water and bubbles everywhere while Savannah is engaged with her rattle.
Cassandra: *laughs* Let’s dry you off. Do you have something for while your sister has a bath
Mercedes: Yes mama, got book. Love books
Savannah: Mama mama my turn?
Cassandra: Indeed it is. One, two, three… up we go!
Savannah giggles while Mercedes grabs her book.
Tumblr media
Savannah: Mama will Viola be in photo
Cassandra: Of course, she’s part of our family
Mercedes: *blows raspberry*
Cassandra: I heard you little ladybug
Mercedes: Viola boring
Cassandra: You’ll like her more when she’s bigger and can do stuff, I’m sure
Everyone gets changed and it’s family photo time! Matching green pj’s except for Viola who is rocking a lizard onesie. Then everyone heads to the kitchen for dinner time.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Damn, I need to pump again already
Rahul: You do that and I’ll fix dinner
Cassandra: but the girls-
Rahul: Will survive if they’re not fed for another half hour. You need to take care of yourself my darling *kisses cheek*
Mercedes has developed a new hobby. Saying nonsense to Viola and pretending it’s real speak in the hopes of confusing her!
Mercedes: You gum run poop foot
Viola: Re dan du (what)
Mercedes: Sky fly big bug say bye crash die
Cassandra: Mercedes…
Mercedes: Viola laugh, she fine mama
Tumblr media
Rahul: What do we want for dinner ladies
Savannah: Cake papa
Viola: *coos in confusion*
Rahul: We can’t have cake for dinner, it’s not healthy
Mercedes: She talk on oven
Rahul: On the oven?
Savannah: YES! Papa cooks them on oven for us
Mercedes: YES! Pot cakes!
Rahul: *laughs* alright team, a stack of pancakes coming up
Twins: YAY!!!
Tumblr media
Cassandra finishes pumping while Viola gurgles to herself and Rahul cooks. Then it’s time to eat!
Cassandra: Now Mercedes, what do we have to remember when we eat?
Mercedes: *laughs* Food should fly
Rahul: Food should NOT fly! Don’t be cheeky little ladybug
Savannah: Why Viola not have oven cakes
Rahul: Viola is too young to have pancakes, she doesn’t have teeth yet
Mercedes: *laughs* Viola stupid
Rahul: Mercedes! Stop being mean to your sister!
Tumblr media
Mercedes: *pats food* She not know what I say papa
Rahul: That doesn’t mean you should say it. I’m serious you two rugrats. Viola is here to stay. It’ll be easier if you’re nice to her
Mercedes: *pouts*
Savannah: Pot cakes good
Rahul: Pancakes Savannah, pancakes
Savannah: Yes please *laughs*
Viola: *looks around sleepily*

Chopra Household: Chapter 6, Part 5
Time for the nanny from hell to meet the Chopra toddlers. What happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force?
Tumblr media
CW: Mean nanny
If Viola is attempting to say something it will be in brackets, otherwise you can assume it's just trying out sounds Mercedes has a speech delay and may get words wrong, correct wording will be in brackets if that is the case Savannah aka Honeybee Mercedes aka Little Ladybug Viola aka Green Bean
Cassandra and Rahul have their own psychiatrist appointments so Savannah and Mercedes are left in the charge of nanny Alana. Mercedes feels this is most unfair and can’t understand why she wasn’t allowed to go with mama. Mama loves her, why couldn’t Mercedes stay with mama?
Alana: Stop sulking, you’re supposed to be five. Grow up and act like it
Mercedes: *sniffles*
Alana: Look they’ll be back eventually. Until then, behave
If you’ve been paying attention you can probably guess that my girls are not going to behave themselves. Savannah has found some paint who knows where and decides to decorate the kitchen for her papa. Mercedes is trying to find her favourite book and is tearing the bookshelf apart looking.
Tumblr media
Alana: What the heck is this? Where did you get paint
Savannah: I make pretty for papa, he be happy. He love mama and she pretty
Alana: Oh I don’t think so
Mercedes: *insulted* What say mama (bitch what did you say about my mother)
Alana: *scoffs* I can’t even understand you. Look, your parents won’t find this pretty
Savannah looks sadly at Mercedes then at the paint in her hands.
Mercedes: NO!
Alana: No what
Mercedes: You WRONG. Mama pretty! Savannah make PRETTY. You not know pretty
Tumblr media
To emphasise her point Mercedes kicks Alana’s shin as hard as she can while Savannah giggles and returns to her masterpiece.
Alana: What the hell? Why are you so aggressive
Mercedes: I right. Mama PRETTY. Savannah MAKE PRETTY
Alana: Listen here you little spoiled ship! Violence is never okay. How would you like it if I kicked you?
Mercedes: *darkly* try
Alana: so much for toddlers being sweet
Tumblr media
Alana: All three of you are nightmares
Savannah: *laughing to herself while spilling paint*
Mercedes: Good
Alana: It’s not good, it’s terrible. You thank your lucky stars your mother is loaded because your money is all you will ever have going for you
Rahul: What did you just say to my daughter?
Alana: You’re back? Thank the watcher! I hate to break it to you, actually no I don't. Your kids are spoiled little-
Rahul: Don’t even think about finishing that sentence!
Tumblr media
Rahul: My daughters are not the best behaved girls but they don’t have to be, they’re still toddlers! They are learning. As a nanny you should have learned but it would appear you are still missing some manners
Alana: You can’t talk to me like that! I’m older than you
Rahul: You insulted my kids when you were supposed to look after them. I’m reporting your behaviour to the agency, you will not be coming to my home again
Alana: Let’s not be hasty
Rahul: Hasty? You think we don’t have baby monitors? I heard how you treated my infant and with what I just heard here you should be glad I’m not calling the cops
Alana: Fine! Have your brats! I’m leaving
Tumblr media
Cassandra: But... big guy we don’t have baby monitors
Rahul: You know that and I know that but clearly my suspicions were right. She didn’t deny treating Viola like she did our twins. If she had treated Viola well she would have denied that a monitor could hear anything. Is Viola okay
Cassandra: Sound asleep, I went straight there when we heard that woman yelling
Breathing a sigh of relief Rahul turns his sights to an innocent looking toddler amidst paint spatter.
Rahul: Now honeybee, can you explain what happened here
Savannah: I… make pretty?
Rahul: Why did you make pretty Savannah
Savannah: Papa… love pretty. You always tell mama. I want to make pretty so you love house
Rahul: Oh Savannah, I love you and the house, I promise. But it’s not good to spill paint everywhere
Tumblr media
Savannah: But… why? I make pretty! I being nice
Rahul: I can see it’s pretty but it’s also a tricky mess
Savannah: *confused* Why?
Rahul: Paint, I don’t even know where you found paint, can be very hard to clean. If it stays on our floor and our rugs it can make the house look messy. We’ll have to clean it up later
Savannah: Later?
Rahul: Yes honeybee. Remember what the doctor said? We have to work on your movement so…
Savannah’s little face lights up as she begins to understand.
Savannah: Playtime papa?
Rahul: Yes, playtime. Come here you little rugrat
Savannah bursts into giggles and jumps up and down excitedly.
Tumblr media
As soon as Cassandra finishes pumping a giggling Mercedes runs into her arms.
Mercedes: Mama I… I…
Cassandra: Take your time little ladybug. I'm listening
At the psychiatrist Mercedes communicated she sometimes tries to rush her words so that her parents will listen before Viola cries. It was agreed that if she's talking it's best for Rahul and Cassandra to let her know they're listening for as long as she needs, at least at this age while her speech is still developing. Also Mercedes depiction of a speech delay is one that will be visible when reading, I'm not saying everyone with a speech delay has her particular issue with words.
Mercedes: I… dear friend (defend) Savannah from mean nanny
Cassandra: Did you do that? What a big brave girl
Mercedes: *whispers* I kick her and yell
Cassandra: *sighs* We’re not meant to kick people Mercedes. In time you’ll be able to use your words, I promise
Mercedes: *whispers* I try best
Cassandra: I’m sure you did Mercedes and I’m proud of you for sticking up for your sister. We just have to think of ways to deal with your anger
Tumblr media
Brilliant news! With some guidance both twins reach level 3 potty skill, they’ll be able to go by themselves. Since it’s new year’s eve the girls have afternoon naps as they want to see how late they can stay up. While Rahul goes to tend the garden Cassandra happily goes to check her animals. She throws feed around the coop and calls out. An alert Cluckton runs around the corner and up to her (it was so cute, I nearly died).
Cassandra: Mr Cluckton! I’m sorry I’ve been so busy with the humans, I wasn’t purposefully ignoring you
Cluckton: *clucks* You’re forgiven mama
Cassandra: You have been doing such a good job defending the property haven’t you? Your papa has ordered you a special medal to go on your hutch so everyone can know of your bravery
Cluckton: *clucks* as they should
Tumblr media
After a big hug session Cassandra returns Cluckton to the ground. As she tends to the coop he does his duty. He sounds the food is here call, and rounds up his wife and daughters, making sure everyone is eating. Rahul is tending the garden when he gets great news. He is now level 10 in gardening! His ambition is to be level 8 in 6 skills so he may have to divert his attentions elsewhere for a while.
Tumblr media
Cassandra cleans and shears Seven, making sure to compliment her cloud like appearance. Then she cleans and milks Turtle who is happily snoozing in the prairie grass. After a short while Mr Cluckton alerts everyone to the special arrival.  A medal for bravery has arrived and been placed on his coop to let all know he is the best property defender around!

Chopra Household: Chapter 6, Part 6
New Year's Eve family style.
Tumblr media
If Viola is attempting to say something it will be in brackets, otherwise you can assume it's just trying out sounds Mercedes has a speech delay and may get words wrong, correct wording will be in brackets if that is the case Savannah aka Honeybee Mercedes aka Little Ladybug Viola aka Green Bean
New Year’s Eve means face paint and matching cat ears for the whole family! This is followed by a small dance party.
Tumblr media
Viola begins fussing. The music may be kids radio but my cautious infant still finds it too loud.
Viola: *cries* ga lu doo (my ears hurt)
Cassandra: Come up here little green bean, it’ll be okay
Mercedes: Dancing fun Viola!
Savannah: I love the music mama
Cassandra: *rocking Viola* I’m glad you’re having fun. Anyone got any resolutions?
Mercedes: What res loot tin
Cassandra: A goal you want to achieve in the next year
Savannah: I want to be butterfly
Mercedes: Me to!
Cassandra: Sounds good to me
Tumblr media
Viola: *fusses* ca ne boo da (music is loud)
Cassandra: Can you say mama? Huh? Mama
Viola: sa loo da (mama mama mama) *giggles*
Mercedes: *yells at the top of her lungs* IT NOT FAIR
This sudden increase in noise causes Viola to begin wailing again.
Rahul: Mercedes, do NOT yell like that. It upsets your sister and it’s not nice for me and mama either
Mercedes: But Viola make fun of me! She heard I have true bell (trouble) talking and she make fun! She LAUGHED!
Here Mercedes pitches a proper fit, throwing her arms and legs around as much as she can. Cassandra tries to soothe a confused Viola while Savannah oh so innocently bangs away at the xylophone and Rahul tries to stop Mercedes flailing about before she hurts herself.
Tumblr media
Rahul: I know this may be difficult to understand but Viola does not know enough to make fun of you. She’s still an infant ladybug, Viola laughs when she's happy. If someone does make fun of you, you just tell papa or mama and we’ll figure it out together
Mercedes doesn’t understand most of this yet but it sounds like papa is on her side which must means she wins against Viola!
Cassandra: *sighs* Big guy I think Mercedes could use some cheer up playtime
Mercedes: Playtime???
Rahul: *laughs* okay but please try to go easy on me this time little lady
Rahul picks up Mercedes and begins to swing her around, making her giggle in delight. Viola meanwhile has settled back down so it’s time to try some new things.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Alright green bean, you lie down there
Viola: he naa du (suddenly the ground is not blurry)
Cassandra: Now crawl to me, come on. Crawl to mama
Mercedes: She staying mama, she no brain
Cassandra: She’s staying for now but she can do it. Come on Viola, crawl to mama
Viola: ne laa du... gee rey (Is that blurry lump you or... is it that one)
Savannah: Mama maybe... Viola broken?
Cassandra: Girls, you should understand it takes time to learn things. It’s not nice to poke fun at people needing some extra help or encouragement. You'll make them sad
Mercedes: What co rage mint (encouragement)
Tumblr media
Viola bursts into tears and hides her head in her arms.
Viola: *cries* hee na du (why is moving so hard)
Cassandra: Encouragement is…
Savannah: Being brave!
Cassandra: Almost honeybee. Encouragement is... cheering someone up so they can do things like be brave. Or crawl to mama!
Viola looks up, tears still flooding her face, unencouraged.
Mercedes: *focused on stacking rings* You try Viola, you try
Savannah: Go go! *taps out victory xylophone beat*
Cassandra: Now now green bean. I’ve seen you push yourself up on all fours. You’ve done that before. Crawling is that with a few extra steps
Viola sniffles but manages to push herself up to all fours. At least for a moment. She does crash back down pretty quickly.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: It’s okay green bean, maybe we’re just not ready to crawl yet
Mercedes: *pouts* I can walk
Cassandra: Oh ladybug I know. You’re are doing very well with your walking, and going up and down the stairs
Savannah: I go up down stairs at… what it called mama
Cassandra: Occupational therapy. If you want we could shorten it to something to make it easier to say
Savannah: Yes. I want Mercedes be able to say
Cassandra: Well the brochures said it’s also called OT so how about we try that?
Mercedes: Savannah do OT. I want good name to
Tumblr media
Cassandra begins moving the girls to the dining room as it smells like Rahul’s finished the dinner. Mercedes of course wants to be carried which means back carrier time for Viola.
Cassandra: What name do you want for your speech therapy then
Mercedes: You pick mama, you pick good for me
Cassandra: What about… word class?
Mercedes: Word class? Yes, yes!
Savannah: MAMA! PAPA! My chair dirty *cries* I NEED food mama
Cassandra scoops up the fussy toddler and deposits her in Viola’s normal chair while Rahul sets about cleaning Savannah’s regular one. Mercedes has a good appetite but they’re also learning she’ll get extra fussy when she’s hungry. The best solution is food as quick as possible.
Tumblr media
Rahul: Here we are! Mercedes what’s wrong? I thought playing cheered you up
Mercedes: *sadly* I talk bad
Rahul looks at Cassandra. They were worried about this following the psychiatrists visits. They may think their daughters are amazing but what to do when their daughters don’t believe it? They are technically behind others their age and will likely require extra help throughout their schooling. They need to know home is a safe space.
Rahul: I like to hear you talk little ladybug
Cassandra: So do I! And I love to hear you sing
Savannah: And me! We twin talk, it best talk
Viola: he na duu (I don't even talk)
Mercedes: *sniffles* I not talk… bad?
Tumblr media
Rahul and Cassandra assure her she doesn’t and eventually Mercedes cheers up enough to start eating.
Savannah: The food nice papa
Rahul: Thank you Savannah. Now Viola, how about we try… carrots?
Viola tastes and pats at the lumpy mixture but following the emptying of the jar she is still unsure about the whole thing.
Tumblr media
Following the late dinner Viola is put to bed and the Chopra’s gather in the lounge to countdown to midnight. Since the twins had long afternoon naps they manage to stay awake for the new year, hugging when the TV announces it’s hit midnight. Cassandra and Rahul being the love birds they are share a kiss before carrying the twins to bed.

Chopra Household: Chapter 6, Part 3
Bedtime is a whole routine when you have three young daughters and want like a billion more.
Tumblr media
CW: Light dash of spice
If Viola is attempting to say something it will be in brackets, otherwise you can assume it's just trying out sounds Savannah aka Honeybee Mercedes aka Little Ladybug Viola aka Green Bean
While the twins babble to each other Cassandra and Rahul get a minute to chat in hushed voices.
Cassandra: Forget the pancakes, something else in this room looks good enough to eat big guy
Rahul: *chuckles and winks* Later, we’ve got to get these ones sorted. But you are also looking very tasty Mrs Chopra. So maybe we’ll both have some private dining later
Cassandra: *laughs* I do hope so
Rahul: Do you want to do night shift with Viola or should I
Cassandra: *through food* How tired are you? Because I can stay up several hours yet but you look fatigued
Tumblr media
Rahul: I’m never going to be too fatigued to woohoo with you
Cassandra: *sighs* I know the feeling
Rahul: But since you asked I am feeling a bit drained
Cassandra: *smiles* Knew it!
Rahul: My wife is always right
Cassandra: A good life motto
Rahul: After we put the twins to bed I’ll nap then after you get Viola to sleep wake me up and we can… have dessert. After that I can keep an ear out for Viola
Cassandra: Deal *smiles* I love you big guy
Rahul: I love you right back my darling
Cassandra: And I love your pixel parts
For a while they eat in silence, each planning what could happen later.
Tumblr media
Savannah: Mama! Papa! I all done
Rahul: Yes I can see that
Savannah: Mama lift me free?
Cassandra: *finishes bite* Here I come
Mercedes: Papa take me potty
Rahul: Manners?
Mercedes: *sighs* Peas papa
Cassandra: How about you honeybee
Savannah: Potty please mama
Rahul: Okay girls, Viola is sleeping so keep quiet. *sternly* I mean it, no funny business
Twins: *quietly* yes papa
Tumblr media
Rahul: You’re both getting so big, you’ll be out of diapers soon
Savannah: We be potty trained?
Cassandra: You’re so close honeybee
Mercedes: Yay! Mama, papa, I not have oops
Rahul: Good job
Cassandra scoops her up and gives her an extra snuggle while Savannah finishes off.
Mercedes: Mama?
Cassandra: Yes little ladybug
Mercedes: Can I have story time?
Tumblr media
Cassandra: What book shall we do tonight
Savannah: I pick
Mercedes: I pick! You pick last
Savannah: No you pick last
Cassandra: How about the Princess and the Pea? You both like that one
Rahul gets Savannah tucked in while Cassandra sits on the edge of Mercedes’ bed to read the story with the alternate ending Casandra wrote when she was a teen.
Cassandra: At this news the princess jumps up from the table spilling her breakfast and startling the king and queen. “You deliberately made me have a rough night sleep after I came seeking shelter in the rain? All to find someone delicate enough to marry your son?” The king and queen said-
All: It was the only way!
Cassandra: The princess turned to the prince, horrified and said-
All: You are no prince!
Tumblr media
Cassandra: The princess continued “I may be delicate but I have a brain and self worth. I will not be your trophy.” The princess left the castle leaving the royals in stunned silence and made it back to her own castle. There she happily slept on her mattresses and no vegetables appeared in it as her people loved her. The prince-
All: Never ever wed!
Cassandra: And the princess was not known for being kept awake by a pea, but by her kindness and compassion for everyone in her kingdom
At the story’s conclusion Cassandra kisses both of her girls goodnight and heads to find Viola who has been napping in the high chair.
Cassandra: Wake up green bean, it’s time to try some food. Let’s see how you feel about applesauce huh
Tumblr media
Cassandra scoops a small bit on the spoon and moves it close to Viola’s face so she can see it. Viola looks puzzled and sniffs at it.
Rahul: *tiredly* Come on Viola, you can try it
Cassandra: Big guy will you please go nap before you pass out
Rahul: I just want to see her try it *yawns* it’s her first baby food
Cassandra: Okay green bean, open wide
She smears some of the applesauce over Viola’s lips making the infant stick her tongue out. Cassandra sneaks some into her mouth and Viola holds it there, unsure of what to do with this not milk offering.
Tumblr media
After a small swallow she is still unsure about it. Cassandra keeps trying to feed her hoping she will make up her mind one way or the other. Viola makes up her mind alright. She decides that squishing the food that falls out of her mouth is actually the most fun thing. Cassandra beings making some aeroplane noises to accompany the bobbing spoon and Viola begins to understand when to open her mouth, baby steps.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: How was that then my little green bean? Did you like it
Viola: do da fru fru (I don’t know yet)
Cassandra: Well we tried. We’ll try some more tomorrow maybe. How about some milk huh? Nice warm milk
Viola: I aaa (my favourite)
After drinking her full Viola gets burped. Cassandra is delighted when just bubbles come out. The twins spat up a lot after feeding but Viola hardly ever does. It’s fascinating for Cassandra to see how early her children are individuals with their own personalities. Hopefully once Viola becomes a toddler the house won’t be without an infant for long.
Tumblr media
Cassandra carries Viola into the nursery and notices she’s seeming agitated. She’s fidgeting and has started breathing much faster than normal.
Cassandra: What’s wrong green bean
Viola: ca na doo (the rain is scary)
Outside is getting pelted with heavy summer rain. In the nursery the sound of rain on the main roof is enhanced by the noise of rain hitting the glass roofs covering the porch and patch of yard. Viola peeks over Cassandra’s shoulder fearfully and nuzzles her nose into her mama for safety.
Cassandra: Is the rain a bit loud Viola? I suppose it is rather heavy tonight. Would you like to hear a song about it
Cassandra holds Viola close and rubs her back while singing itsy bitsy spider. Her mind travels back to hearing her mother sing it to her and Alexander when the storms made it seem like the mansion would wash away. After a while Viola’s breathing slows down and returns to normal.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: There there now, see Viola, rain is nothing to be afraid of
Cassandra places her infant down on the changing table and begins a diaper change. Not long into it Viola lets loose and pee spurts everywhere! Cassandra doesn’t enjoy being coated but she is happy to see Viola now chuckling away and kicking her little legs. After wiping down herself and the infant Cassandra carries Viola to her crib.
Cassandra: I know you seem to soothe yourself but mama will put a lullaby on to help since the rain is so loud
Viola sticks her foot in her mouth in response.
Cassandra: I love you Viola. Have good dreams and be kind to your papa if you wake in the night okay
Tumblr media
Back in her room Cassandra cheekily wakes Rahul up with some tickling.
Rahul: Hello to you to
Cassandra: Are you feeling more rested now *kisses*
Rahul: I don’t know. I look at you and my heart races. Did you get Viola down alright
Cassandra: She was a bit worried about the rain *kisses* but a song calmed her down
Rahul: Will you sing me a song
Cassandra lies next to him and runs her hand along his cheek as she thinks about how best to respond.
Cassandra: I thought you knew, I have a symphony of sounds that is just for you
Rahul: Luckily your symphony invites audience participation
Cassandra: Just yours and mine big guy
Rahul pulls her close and after a deep kiss the two head under the covers. When they’re done for the night a moment of peace descends over the property as every living thing sleeps.

Chopra Household: Chapter 5, Part 4
The baby shower continues, Lavina pops by and celebrates her birthday, then it's hospital time!
Tumblr media
James: I know you have most of the stuff from your first two but Alexander and I wanted to get you a little something
Rahul: Oh James, you shouldn’t have
James: Nonsense. Can’t take the money with me. I know Dina is still being territorial about the Goth capital and I thought you two, sorry you five, deserved a bit of cushioning while you’ll be on family leave
Cassandra: Come inside, I’ve missed you lot
Charlie: Thanks for letting us bring Clover
Cassandra: We have so many animals here, what’s an extra good dog
Tumblr media
Cassandra: I don’t understand why everything is so much more swollen this time
Devin: This is why you don’t get pregnant, right Charlie?
Charlie: Amen to that
Luna: I got quite big with the boys but luckily it seems to disappear pretty quickly after birth
Charlie: Yeah you are not changing my mind Luna
Devin: What are you making
Rahul: It’s meant to be cereal marshmallow squares but I think something went wrong
Devin: This is why I cook and Luna handles the baking. Anyway, do you two have some name ideas
Tumblr media
Savannah notices Milton is feeling sad. She goes over and sits near him.
Savannah: Milton, I sorry
Milton: Huh
Savannah: I sorry I ask for password
Milton: Oh, no it’s fine Savannah, I’m not upset about that
Savannah: Uncle want some funny faces
Milton: It couldn’t hurt
Meanwhile Mercedes has again conned Alexander in to roughhouse play. She can’t do it with Cassandra while she’s pregnant so is getting in what she can with the visitors.
Lavina: I’m here! Sorry I’m late, traffic
Tumblr media
Milton: What are you doing
Mercedes: Dancing. I good
Milton: I bet you’re excited about the new baby huh? Even though you’re still a baby, look at those cheeks
Milton leans forward to pinch them but Mercedes is too quick. Rather than her being pinched, Milton ends up with his fingers bitten. All the adults are too busy to notice so no one gets told off.
Tumblr media
Lavina: How’s my brilliant grandbaby? Shall we practice some flashcards
Cassandra: She’s working on her numbers
Lavina: Oh how clever
Mercedes: *pouts*
Cassandra: Mercedes is getting better with her talking, she’s learning animals
Lavina: That's nice dear. Okay Savannah, what number is this
Savannah: Three!
Lavina: And this one
Savannah tries to peek around the card but Lavina tells her not to cheat.
Tumblr media
With the baby shower over the twins get sandwiches while Rahul presents his mother with a cake.
Lavina: What is this
Rahul: You didn’t think I’d forget you turning 65 did you
Lavina: *scoffs* you needn’t say it quite so loud dear
Cassandra: It’s okay Lavina, we’re all family
Savannah: CAKE
Cassandra: No honeybee, you eat your sandwich
Lavina: Guess there’s no avoiding it. Here’s to elderhood!
Tumblr media
Rahul attends to some chores while Cassandra has a much needed nap and the girls play outside.
Lavina: What are you doing in there
Savannah: Playing
Lavina: You don’t want to learn
Savannah: Play is learn-ding
Lavina: I see, okay dear, carry on
Tumblr media
Mercedes: Nana, nana
Lavina: *sighs* yes dear, what is it
Mercedes: I learn words
Lavina: You mean learned. You learned words. And if you got that sentence wrong I do wonder
Mercedes gets mad and hits Lavina
Mercedes: I do learn nana
Lavina: Go away and hit something else, I’m not talking to you if you’re going to be like that
Tumblr media
Cassandra wakes up and gets the two girls into their high chairs
Cassandra: Let’s see, how hungry are we
The girls aren’t overly hungry as they had sandwiches not long ago but Cassandra gets them milk to drink while she has dinner.
Mercedes: Mama, nana mean, she not like me
Cassandra: I’m sure she likes you
Savannah: Nana talk to me but not Mercedes
Cassandra: Really? Well I’ll talk to nana about it okay darlings, can’t have any sad faces here
Mercedes: Mama when baby here, where we
Cassandra: You’ll keep your room
Savannah: What about when baby coming
Cassandra: Oh! Okay when papa and I head to the hospital, Uncle Alexander will look after you
Mercedes: You be long
Cassandra: I hope not ladybug
Tumblr media
Rahul: Bedtime I think
Mercedes: Papa I made yuck
Rahul: *sighs* come with me then
Mercedes: Papa, why table move
Rahul: Because the baby will need it more than you and your sister, so it’s back here in the nursery
Mercedes: Baby like me and Savannah
Rahul: I hope so, but it’s hard for babies to communicate ladybug, they might not seem like they do at first
Mercedes: Papa have time for story
Rahul: Absolutely, come on
Tumblr media
Rahul reads Mercedes to sleep, Savannah took herself to the potty and climbed in bed while Mercedes was getting changed. Cassandra needs to lie down but once both girls are in bed she can’t help herself. She gets up, waddles across the house, and kisses them each goodnight.
Tumblr media
Mr Cluckton: *crows* Hear ye, hear ye, IT'S TIME
Cassandra: The coop is further away and he still manages to- AH dear watcher
Rahul: Does that mean what I think it means? Is the baby ready?
Cassandra: Yeah, I’m pretty sure they’re ready to come out
Rahul: Okay, you get to the cars and we’ll drop the girls at your brothers on the way
Hospital time!
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Where is Dr Eriksson?
Rahul: The nurse said she’s not here at the moment but don’t worry, she could still show up
Cassandra: Can you help me? My lower back is killing me
The couple move over to the exercise ball and Rahul sets about trying to massage some of Cassandra’s pain away. He’s not very successful though.
Cassandra: Rahul, for the love of the watcher, please go shave that beard, it’s stressing me out
Rahul: Right away my darling
Cassandra stands and her water breaks dramatically over the floor.
Tumblr media
Cassandra mopes sadly on the bed while Rahul is busy.
Dr E: Did someone call for a doctor
Cassandra: Thank goodness, I really need some painkillers
Dr E: No problem dear. Turn around and we’ll give you the epidural. Remember it takes a while to kick in
Cassandra: But then we can do the c-section
Dr E: Absolutely. Now if anything feels off, tell me right away
Tumblr media
?: Oh my, Mrs Chopra, can I have an autograph
Dr E: Not now dear
Rahul: Who’s this
Dr E: My husband, the other Dr Eriksson. I’m afraid he’s a fan and often has no bedside manner
Cassandra: Look, I’m really not in any state to give autographs right now
Rahul: You heard my wife. If you’re not here to help with the birth, please leave us in peace
Tumblr media
Dr E: I am so sorry about him, believe me we’ll be having words
Cassandra: I think I just need to do some breathing while the epidural gets started
Rahul: Does everything look okay Dr Eriksson
Dr E: Oh yes Mr Chopra, nothing to indicate any problems
Rahul: We’ve just noticed Cassandra has put on more weight than she did with the twins
Dr E: Pregnancies are never exactly the same. I believe you get quite a lot of milk in Mrs Chopra
Cassandra: I did last time, but it took a while
Dr E: Your body is likely getting ready in advance. Now how’s the pain
Cassandra: I think I’m ready
Dr E: Brilliant. You two know the way, I'll be there once I've scrubbed up
Tumblr media
Dr E: Remember, feeling pressure is normal but if you feel pain let me know, we can adjust the meds
Cassandra: Well big guy, here we go again
Rahul: Do you know how wonderful you are
Cassandra: I don’t but I do have this husband who tells me such things
Rahul: Looks like she’s almost there, how are you doing
Cassandra: Hanging in here
Dr E: One more cut and we can meet them
Tumblr media
Dr E: Congratulations, a healthy baby girl
Cassandra: Thank goodness, we had a bunch of girl names ready but hardly any boy options
Dr E: It looks like we will have to await the melanin awakening again unfortunately
Rahul: So long as Viola is healthy, that’s all that matters
Dr E: That’s a lovely name
Cassandra: We think so
Dr E: I’ll just close up then you three can head home
Tumblr media
Back home and it looks like Viola is keeping to tradition by inheriting Rahul’s eyes.
Mercedes: Mama papa back!
Savannah: You gone forever
Rahul: It didn’t take that long I don’t think. Now who is ready to meet their baby sister
The twins pout and look generally underwhelmed.
Cassandra: Come on over Savannah and say hi to Viola
Tumblr media
Savannah: Hi. I done mama
Cassandra: How about you Mercedes, can you say hello to Viola
Cassandra picks up the baby who starts to scream and Mercedes does not look impressed.
Mercedes: Too loud mama, we no sleep
Rahul: She’s on the other end of the house to you two. I think you’ll sleep just fine
Mercedes pouts but reluctantly greets her new sister.

Chopra Household: Chapter 5, Part 6
It's time for Viola to enter infanthood and she meets some new faces with varying results. Rahul and Cassandra work together to fit in enough time for all three kids.
Tumblr media
Rahul: Are you ready to age up little green bean?
Cassandra: Could you do it? I’m stuck pumping again
Rahul: Happy to, but what will we do with all this milk because it’s a lot
Cassandra: I have an idea actually
Sparkle, sparkle, age up!
Viola rolled the cautious trait and spawned in a green shirt, meaning green is her first favourite colour and the nickname green bean absolutely works!
Cassandra: Mama has a surprise, we have some visitors coming to see you! Aren’t you special
Tumblr media
Mercedes: I special too
Cassandra: Of course little ladybug, I didn’t mean to suggest otherwise
Raul: You and Savannah are both special to
Mercedes: HOORAY
DOORBELL
Cassandra: You made it!
Luna: We did, I can’t resist seeing infants
Devin: How are you handling this one Cass
Cassandra: We’re doing our best, aren’t we Viola
Luna: If you need babysitters just say
Devin: Lu- We talked about you doing too much
Cassandra: This one’s nana will be plenty of help in that department, don’t worry Luna
Tumblr media
Devin coos over Viola who is happy to meet her and smiles back.
Cassandra: There is something you could help me with Luna
Luna: Really
Cassandra takes back Viola and keeps talking.
Cassandra: I seem to be producing far too much milk. At least, far too much for just this one. I called the hospital and there’s a milk bank in Del Sol Valley
Devin smiles, guessing where this is going.
Cassandra: If I give you my surplus perhaps you could deliver it for me? You’re welcome to take some out for Alfred and Rilian first of course
Luna: You mean it?
Cassandra: I can’t imagine not being able to feed my baby, I want to help you and other mothers who can’t
Devin: Thank you, seriously. Come on Lu, let’s take it all before she changes her mind
Luna can’t get words out and just nods happily. Not being able to feed her boys properly contributed to her post-partum depression getting so bad. Maybe with some extra milk, some of the guilt will ease.
Tumblr media
Cassandra takes Viola to the lounge and begins some tummy time. Viola does not approve and cries herself through it. A couple of times I think she has lifted her head up but the game doesn’t agree with me. To make matters worse she’s getting incredibly tired. When one is tired stereo music seems ridiculously loud and Viola cries at the lullabies station.
Cassandra: Oh little bean, it’s okay. We’ll just say hi to nana who came over specially, then it’s night night time
Tumblr media
Lavina: Is this my third grandbaby
Cassandra: Yes. Viola, meet your nana
Lavina: Is she... okay? She's not smiling
Viola bursts into tears and fusses, trying desperately to get away from Lavina
Cassandra: I’m sorry, she does seem to be pretty cautious
Tumblr media
Lavina: You do seem good at making spirited ones
Viola continues to cry and struggle while Cassandra tries to soothe her.
Lavina: Now see here young lady, that is no way to behave. You calm down this instant
Viola stops crying and sits still, wobbling her lip
Cassandra: Maybe I should-
Viola erupts in cries again and Lavina having had ENOUGH passes her back to Cassandra
Cassandra: There there Viola, mama is here, we’ll go have a nice nap
Viola snuggles in to Cassandra's shoulder happily.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: There now, isn’t it better in our onesie
Viola: *hiccups*
Cassandra: Are you okay green bean
Viola: *hiccups and smiles*
Cassandra: I guess you just hiccup a bunch, that’s okay. Sleep well darling, I’ll put on a lullaby
In the lounge Savannah is dancing away to the stereo while Rahul works with Mercedes on her basic needs.
Rahul: What is this? How does it help
Mercedes tries to peek around the cards but Rahul is having none of it.
Rahul: No cheating little ladybug. Give me your best guess
Mercedes: It milk. It help… it help… me not be hungry?
Rahul: YES! Well done
Rahul reaches level 10 parenting and discovers he is a perfectionist…
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Dinner time
Savannah: YAY! I starving
Rahul: That’s not quite true
Cassandra: Here you are Mercedes, eat up. Did you have time to speak to your mum big guy
Rahul: Briefly. She muttered something about coddling infants and left
Mercedes draws herself into position, and once again the plate goes flying!
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Oh my watcher, again???
Rahul: MERCEDES!
Mercedes: *squeaks*
Savannah: Bad to make food fly, food is yum
Mercedes: *smiles* Food not fly, food FALL
Savannah bursts in to giggles while Cassandra tuts at Mercedes
Mercedes: Can I have food now
Cassandra: Ladybug you just had food right there
Rahul: You’re lucky we have an extra serving of this
Tumblr media
Savannah: Mercedes you too silly, too silly
Rahul: She’s messy
Mercedes: I FUN
Cassandra: *chuckles* clearly we’ve got work to do on manners
After dinner Rahul gets the twins to bed while Cassandra wakes Viola. She hasn’t been asleep for long but she’s used her diaper and will be hungry soon. Cassandra changes her and manages to avoid disaster.
Tumblr media
Raul: Hey Cluckton, see anything on patrol
Cluckton: *squawks* no invaders today
Rahul: I’ve just got to hang this washing, best not stand under it unless you like wet feathers
Cluckton: *clucks disapprovingly*
Rahul heads inside and finds Cassandra giving Viola dinner.
Rahul: How is she
Cassandra: She seems to have a really good appetite, just like Savannah
Raul: Ah but will she eat more baby food than Savannah did
Cassandra: Let’s wait until she can sit and has teeth huh
Tumblr media
Cassandra: I just have to go tuck your sisters in bed, then we’ll give you a proper sleep green bean
Viola pouts as soon as Cassandra lays her down but I can’t guarantee she would stay in a back carrier while Cassandra puts the twins to bed so this is where we are.
Cassandra: Come on darlings, bed time
Savannah: Yes mama
Mercedes: Story mama
Cassandra: I think you’re too tired for a story little ladybug
Mercedes: No I *yawns* not
Cassandra tucks in Savannah and by the time she goes over to Mercedes the younger twin has fallen asleep.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Mama is back, let’s get you to bed
Viola smiles to Cassandra as she is carried across the house. Once she’s placed in the crib Cassandra starts up a lullaby and needs another pumping session. Rahul comes in to kiss Viola goodnight after seeing the twins.
Rahul: I think I’ll take tomorrow off work as well
Cassandra: Your boss seems pretty understanding
Rahul: Now that’s taken care of, and so are your breasts…
Cassandra: What big guy?
Rahul: All our children are asleep, we could get up to some adult fun
Cassandra: Perfect. But we need to go back to using protection for now, I don’t want the next one leaving me heavily pregnant between rotations
Tumblr media
The two have a good time but a few hours later Cassandra is woken up by her milk supply again.
Cassandra: Pretty sure I could open my own milk bank
Rahul: *laughs* Hey, you focus on that and I’ll do Viola
Cassandra: You sure
Rahul: I know where we keep the milk supply. You do what you need then get some sleep so you can enjoy tomorrow. It’s meant to be sunny
Rahul leaves Cassandra to pump and goes to wake Viola. It may seem bizarre to wake her up but it’s time for her next feeding whether she is asleep or not.
Rahul: *softly* Viola, green bean, time for some milk
Viola scrunches her face, stretches out, then curls back up
Rahul: Come on Viola
Tumblr media
Rahul chuckles and scoops Viola out of her crib. She seems to wake up at the smell of her bottle and greedily guzzles it down. Afterwards Rahul burps her and takes her to the changing table. She has used her diaper so it’s best changed before she gets uncomfortable. Rahul is getting into the swing of it when-
PEE EVERYWHERE
Rahul: Oh heavens, it’s been a minute since that happened. Why do I want kids again
Viola looks at him quizzically
Rahul: Because you’re adorable Viola, that’s why
When Viola is tidy Rahul moves her down to the playmat.
Tumblr media
Rahul: Okay green bean, lets do some tummy time. Mama told me you were working on lifting your head, how about it
As normal being an infant is difficult and Viola panics at having to do tummy time. Rahul feels terrible as she wails but tries to stay encouraging. Eventually Viola fully pushes her head up, and the milestone is met!
Rahul settles Viola back in bed and starts a lullaby for her. Then he goes and washes his arms thoroughly before going back to sleep.
Tumblr media
Cluckton: *crows* Hear ye, hear ye, a new dawn
Feathers: *clucks* Quiet dear, you’ll wake the tiny one
Cluckton: *crows* Don’t worry, tiny ones sleep through anything
In the nursery however, Viola has been woken up. She panics as she is still very tired. Through tears she does her best to try go night night by herself. After a while she calms down and manages to head off to sleep.
Tumblr media
The sun is beautifully bright today and Rahul and Cassandra are keen to get out and amongst their animals, plants and the fresh air. Rahul folds up the washing he did yesterday while Cassandra makes sure everyone has enough to eat. Then she goes to milk Turtle which Cluckton seems to approve of?
Tumblr media
Rahul looks after Viola when she wakes up and tests out his new back carrier. It has a hood which will hopefully stop Vola getting sunburnt today.
Rahul: You are just going to love outside green bean, it’s amazing
The twins are also excited to get out and enjoy the unusual winter sunshine.
Mercedes: What you doing mama
Cassandra: It’s called yoga
Savannah: What *stumbles* What yoga mama
Cassandra: It’s a kind of exercise to help me stay healthy. I can bend in to cool shapes like this!
Tumblr media
Savannah: You see Viola
Mercedes: She with papa. She look… cute
Savannah: We cute but yes, she look cute to
Mercedes: You think we need glasses like Viola and mama and nana
Savannah: Maybe, not today
Mercedes: Hello chickens, I missed you
Savannah: How am I Turtle? I fast like you yet

Chopra Household: Chapter 5, Part 5
The baby is here and the household has to adjust whether they like it (Cassandra and Rahul) or not (Savannah and Mercedes).
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Go have some breakfast girls
Mercedes: But-
Cassandra: I’ll come when I can but I have to look after Viola for a bit
Savannah: Come Mercedes, we plan
Cassandra: Plan what
Savannah: I said play mama
Cassandra brushes off the tongue slip and settles down to pump. Her milk supply is back and she’ll have her work cut out for her avoiding mastitis this time.
Tumblr media
Mercedes: How we plan
Savannah: You keep mama busy, I loud scare Viola
Mercedes: Will work
Savannah: Yes, go to plan
Rahul: What plan is that honeybee?
Twins: *freaked out faces*
Mercedes: We be heard
Rahul: Now girls mama and papa are tired after being at the hospital. I need to take care of outside while mama takes care of Viola. You two think you can occupy yourselves today
Tumblr media
The girls nod quietly so Rahul heads outside to check on the livestock. The poor chickens need their morning feeding.
Mercedes: Food go fly, food go fly
Savannah: Waste food is silly, food nice
Mercedes: I like play. You think papa heard
Savannah: Not plan. He be mad if heard
Mercedes: I be cute self and-
Savannah: I bang bang on toy. V be scared off
Viola however looks perfectly happy in her new green onesie
Tumblr media
Mercedes: Mama, you have time for me
Cassandra: Of course I have time for you little ladybug, I’ll just grab breakfast
Mercedes: This my best toy, very poor tant
Cassandra: Let me come and see!
Mercedes: It make noise, hear hear
Cassandra: Very nice Mercedes, is that what makes it important
Mercedes: My love make poor tant. You love make me poor tant
Cassandra: That's very sweet Mercedes
Tumblr media
Meanwhile…
Savannah wobbles and almost falls on her face in the nursery.
Savannah: That close
Viola: *gurgles*
Savannah: Do you like music V? I hope not
Viola: *gurgles*
Savannah sits down and begins her task, thumping away loudly on the xylophone! Unfortunately for her Viola doesn’t react to this and after a while Savannah gets bored and starts to practice some tunes.
Tumblr media
Outside Rahul finishes with the chickens, and the weeds, and begins to care for Turtle and Seven. They have better relationships with Cassandra but neither fight Rahul.
Mercedes: Savannah! I do job, you do
Savannah: V be tricky, she not care about my music
Mercedes: You must play too good
Savannah: I play loud, promise
Mercedes: We need new plan
Savannah: Let me think, V not win
Tumblr media
Cassandra goes to check on Viola who is indeed doing fine. Since she doesn’t require care Cassandra figures she can help Rahul by doing the twins baths.
Cassandra: Who wants bubbles
Mercedes: Mama Savannah nap
Cassandra: Did she get too tired
Mercedes: Yes but I have bubbles mama
Cassandra: Here we go
Tumblr media
Rahul: I see you there Binky
Binky: *twitches nose* do you have offering
Rahul: I’ll give you a gift in just a second, don’t go anywhere okay
Binky hops around the yard while Rahul finishes harvesting for today. When he’s finished he pops inside and grabs one of the older eggs to give to Binky. The rabbit approves and gives Rahul some apple jam in return.
Tumblr media
It’s only been six hours but Cassandra feels like she has to pump again. She perches on Savannah’s bed while Mercedes babbles about her dolls. When Savannah wakes up she gets a bath before requesting to be carried to the nursery.
Savannah: Mama help with shape
Cassandra: You want some block help honeybee
Savannah: Yes
Cassandra: I suppose Viola is napping, we just have to keep quiet
Savannah sits down and begins going over shapes with Cassandra. Every so often she drops blocks loudly on each other but Viola sleeps through.
Tumblr media
Rahul dishes up some cottage pie and Cassandra is getting the twins seated when Viola wakes up shrieking.
Savannah: V bad, she cry loud
Cassandra: She’s a baby honeybee, it’s tough being a baby
Rahul: Can I feed her? Please please please
Cassandra: *giggles* There’s plenty of milk in the fridge
Mercedes: Why mama laugh
Cassandra: Papa was being cute, that’s all
Mercedes: I cute
Savannah: Me to
Tumblr media
Savannah: Why V have milk
Cassandra: She doesn’t have teeth yet. Now Mercedes, what do we do with our food
Mercedes: *sighs* eat, not make food fly
Cassandra: Good girl. Let’s get tucked in
Rahul: Well hello Viola, papa missed you when I was outside all day
Viola: *cries*
Rahul: There there, how about we try… a new diaper. Doesn’t that feel better? And what about some milk huh? I heated it up just for you
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Can you two say Viola? Little ladybug? Honeybee?
Mercedes: Fly olaf *laughs*
Cassandra: Viola
Savannah: V old ga *laughs*
Cassandra sighs and breaks the name down for the two girls. After some work they manage it. Now they can say Viola properly when they make plans to remain the top kids in the house!
Tumblr media
With Viola settled, Rahul and Cassandra both help the girls try to potty. Mixed results as Mercedes has a little accident. Then it’s off to bed, no time for stories tonight, Rahul is exhausted. As for Cassandra, it’s been 5 hours and she needs to pump again already. This may be a tricky thing to juggle.
Tumblr media
Before heading to bed Cassandra says goodnight to Turtle and Seven. She apologises for not being outside much today and promises she’ll try tend to them tomorrow. Both seem content to snuggle.
Rahul: You’re here
Cassandra: Go back to sleep big guy, you were exhausted
Rahul: I’m not the one that went through labour
Cassandra: Does it count if it was a c-section
Rahul: Umm, I’m too tired to figure that out.
A few hours later…
Viola: *shrieks*
Rahul: Must be my turn
Cassandra: No, I think I need to pump again
Rahul: Already
Cassandra: It seemed okay with the twins but Viola really does not need this much
Tumblr media
Cassandra peeks in to tell Viola she’s just heating up the milk then heads to the kitchen to sort it.
Cassandra: Here’s some milk I prepared earlier. You know mama has to pump, if you wanted to dirty your diaper at this time, it would be most convenient
Viola simply guzzles her milk and gurgles away while Cassandra sorts out her breasts. I left the right one too long and it leaked, whoops. Before going back to sleep Cassandra makes sure Viola is smiling even if she doesn’t want to use her diaper right now.
Tumblr media
In the morning I make sure Cassandra wakes up before her breasts misbehave. Rahul makes the family French toast for breakfast and after Cassandra has fed Viola he goes and talks to her. During his cooing and rocking she uses her diaper and he is able to change it before heading to the garden.
Tumblr media
Savannah: We take all mama time, Viola get no time
Mercedes: YES! Like plan Savannah
Savannah: You do as plan
Mercedes: Yuck is done
Cassandra: Good morning my darlings! Look at this wonderful breakfast papa made
Mercedes: Mama I have problem
Cassandra: Oh no, what’s wrong ladybug
Mercedes: I got yuck in pants. Savannah got yuck in pants to
Casandra: *sighs* really? Well I guess breakfast can wait, who should we change first
Savannah: Me older, I go first
Tumblr media
Cassandra carries Savannah to the changing table while Mercedes goes over to Viola
Mercedes: *whispers* We win mama and papa, not Viola
Viola: *gurgles happily*
Cassandra: Okay now your turn Mer- what are you doing
Mercedes: Rock in chair
Savannah: *giggles* Rocking chair!
Mercedes: I said
Cassandra: Very clever, come on, we need to get you clean so mama can go look after Turtle and Seven
Tumblr media
Outside the scores of crops have dwindled leaving the strongest aubergine in each one. Rahul has plenty of fertiliser on hand and doses them before beginning to harvest the plants. He’s using some of his family leave today so he can do what he likes. Cassandra meanwhile carries her breakfast outside to feed the chickens. She can’t collect eggs while eating though so takes some time to chat with the animals.
Tumblr media
Savannah: Mama spend time with us, we win
Mercedes: I said
Savannah: Viola not do much. She gurgle and cry and sleep
Mercedes: She boring. Not like us
Savannah: I glad you my sister
Mercedes: I said!
Savannah: How big Viola get, we still be best sisters
Mercedes: YES! We best
Tumblr media
