“Hey there, little Reagan,” he cooed at Marigold’s belly. “Are you excited to have a name? We just can’t wait to meet you!”

Just then, Tucker ran by mewling.

Nick and Marigold laughed. “Looks like little Tucker’s excited as well!” Marigold said.

“Let’s just hope he doesn’t tackle Reagan like he did to Mason,” said Nick with a grin.

“Do what?!” Marigold exclaimed.

“Didn’t I tell you?”

“No, and you had better tell me now before I throw that cat on the street!”

“Relax, relax!” Nick said quickly. “Boy, pregnancy hormones, eh?”

“Don’t test me,” Marigold warned, only half joking, “I know where you live!”

“Of course,” Marigold said softly. “I know how much she meant to you. It’s only right for you to honor her memory, and this is a great way to do that.”

“Thank you, Marigold. As always, you’re wonderful.” He paused for a moment.“And actually, I was thinking… maybe we could name her Reagan? That is—was Julie’s last name. I thought it might be good to name our daughter after Julie while still letting her be her own person… you know?”

“I like the way you think, Nick Atwood. Yes, I like that plan. Reagan it is.”

Nick grinned. “Reagan it is,” he repeated.

“Well, I was kinda wondering if we could name her after Julie,” he said in a rush.

It only took Marigold a second to react, then—“That’s a great idea!”

“Wait… really?” Nick was shocked; he’d thought it would take more persuasion than that.

Finally, when the show had ended, he managed to insert himself back into the conversation. “Actually,” he said, rubbing Marigold’s belly, “I wanted to talk about what to name the baby.”

“Oh yeah?” Marigold said excitedly, and Nick could sense another onslaught of excited talking threatening to spill over.

“Yeah, and I have a few ideas,” he said quickly, before she could interrupt him.

“Really? Let’s hear them!” Marigold said enthusiastically.

“Well, you might not like them…” he said worriedly.

“Tell me anyway.”

Marigold went on for a few minutes about clothes and cribs and other such things, and Nick politely pretended to listen.

#this conversation was not planned at the time #marigold started making those faces and I rolled with it lol #Marigold Atwood #Nick Atwood #The Atwood Legacy #DITFT #generation 1 #farming #the sims 3 #legacy #simblr #ts3 #sims 3 #the sims #differences in the family tree challenge #atwood #atwood 1.10

“Oh, goodie!” Marigold squealed. “Can we talk about nursery themes and wallpaper colors? And the crib bedding I saw in Bed Bath & Beyond the other day, oh, it was just so precious, we have to get it! She will adore the flowers!”

Nick didn’t bother asking how Marigold knew it was a girl. She’d been right last time, after all.

“Um, no, I actually—”

“Oh, and I saw the cutest little booties at the clothing store, they were just so tiny! I can’t wait to have a little baby girl! Do you want to talk about what toys to buy? Oh, I do! Can we…”

Nick grimaced to himself. He should have brought this up differently…

One night in the second trimester of Marigold’s pregnancy, he found her resting her back and watching TV. This pregnancy had been more difficult on her than the last one—she sometimes joked that she thought she might be carrying four or five babies because of how heavy her belly felt. Nick never found this very amusing.

He settled down on the couch next to her and watched the show with her for a while, both of them content in each other’s company.

Then he gathered his courage and turned to her. “I wanted to talk to you… about the baby.”

One thing Mason wasn’t so quick to pick up was potty training. Both Nick and Marigold had tried everything they could think of, but Mason stubbornly refused to grasp the concept of how a “big boy potty” was better than his diapers.

For a while, no matter how long he sat on the potty, no progress could be made. Marigold was already a bit quick to get upset because of her pregnancy, so sometimes the frustration would get to her. But she always managed to regain composure before lashing out at her son; Nick was very thankful to have such a patient, caring wife.

Marigold was already a few months along in her second pregnancy, and she couldn’t be happier. She adored children, and couldn’t wait to have another.

“Hey, Mason,” she called. “Let’s play ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’!”

“Okay!” Mason enthused. He began banging on the xylophone with renewed vigor, and Nick was surprised to hear a tune that was almost recognizable as the song Marigold had suggested.

“Wow, you’ve been practicing!” he exclaimed.

“Wow, Mase, you’re getting so good at that xylophone!” Marigold praised her son.

“Fanks, Mama! I play just wike you!”

“That’s right!” Marigold said with a smile.

“Yeah, Masey, you and Mama sound so good together!” Nick said. “Thank you for playing such beautiful music for me to hear while I garden!”

“Welcome, Dada,” Mason said graciously. Marigold and Nick smiled at each other.

Things in the Atwood house were certainly a lot more lively than they had been five years ago, but Nick found he had never been happier. In fact, he was beginning to think…

“Marigold? What do you say we give Mason a sibling?”

Marigold choked slightly on her food. “Really? You want to?”

“Of course! I’ve always wanted a big family. Why not?”

“I’ll get Mase in bed!” she exclaimed, jumping up from her plate.

buurn haha

Self-burns are at least socially acceptable? But worse for one’s own self esteem ha

blurrypxls replied to your photoset “Serena: And who the fuck are YOU to be calling me at 7 a.m. to talk...”

Literally same, I'm always getting calls from telemarketers at the worst times it's becoming a problem

Telemarketers are such a pain, that’s so frustrating D:

twinsimskeletons replied to your photoset “We have a third playable family in the Build A City Challenge!!Meet...”

what is "essence of flavor" haha

So in ts4 your sim’s lifetime wish gives them a different little ‘extra trait’ depending on what the LTW is, so “essence of flavor” is hers, I think it makes it so that all of her cooking comes out of higher quality automatically?

romeo-and-simulet replied to your post “replies!”

I'm pretty sure it was! I just can't keep them up for too long without starting to feel uncomfortable xD

Oh it’s totally fine, I can understand that!!

Alexandra had a lot of luck flirting with the mailman (Brooks) (remember that time they got run over by a trolley while cloud-gazing?) but I’m feeling like that’s not happening this time around :P
