Julep got the “Stale Surroundings” moodlet. I was thinking it was time for her and Elliot to move soon, and it looks like Julep is thinking the same thing. There is a small, solitary island lot near Elliot’s old place in Sulani that would work for them.

Cute family times~

Okay, Julep is in labor! It’s go time!

Hiroto texted Julep saying he needed help with a friend’s kid’s birthday party?? NO Hiroto, this is not the moment for that.

I think I sent Julep on her own to work today. She returned home tired and feeling some back pain, apparently.

Nina came over to visit. I like her summer outfit. Maybe she came over because she wanted to check in on our main couple. Elliot officially introduced himself to her.

Nina: Hey, weren’t you that guy we met in Sulani awhile back? Elliot: Oh, you remember? Yeah, that was me. Nina:….Didn’t you also show up at our lab the other day? Elliot: Who me? No idea what you’re talking about.

Here is Tictac doing some pounces. And being cute with Elliot. Oh, I gave Tictac a collar in CAS at some point. These photos aren’t necessary for story telling purposes, but Tictac is a cutie.

Nina: Ooh, your belly is so big now! Julep: I know, right? I’mma pop this baby out any second now. Nina: Thank you for the visual.

Julep went back home, only to be abducted for the third time. Apparently that’s an Achievement?

How interesting, she got abducted immediately after finding out that Elliot is an alien. I wonder if that means anything? Maybe Elliot’s Alien family and/or acquaintances have been keeping an eye on Julep through her work as a Scientist? *Note: This is just a speculation, nothing has been revealed through gameplay or anything yet lol

As usual, Julep is thrilled that she got to encounter aliens.

Julep’s pregnancy has been a bit rough. She is feeling all the feels while she eats her pancakes. But snuggling with Tictac helps.

*Lol, I like how I moved Elliot in with us in the last post, and he’s not even pictured in this post.

Julep greeted Elliot by swooping him into a dramatic kiss.

I’m a little bummed, I don’t remember why Elliot was sad.  But I think Julep was able to talk him through his sad mood. Also, feeling his fiancée’s belly and focusing on their future child sorted him out. (I just realized Elliot is glowing, aww he’s feeling better).

Elliot got to work tending the garden. Tictac came out to keep him company.

Dominic Fyres contacted Elliot about going to a university party? Not sure what’s up with that? They kind of know each other, but okay.

------------------------------------------------------------

Elliot has moved in with Julep because: -Julep needs help while she is really preggo. -It gives them time to figure out where they’re going to move to (preferably Sulani) and where they’re going to get married. -Julep feels insecure all the time from her Jealous trait when Elliot is not around, although she doesn’t show it. It’s an underlying feeling (all her moodlet / emotion buffs tend to mask it).

Aww Julep and Tictac having some cute morning cuddles 💖

Yay Tictac aged up! She is an adult kitty now 💝💚

Nina came by to hang out after work that night. It seemed like she was also on her period, hence the misery on her face. She and Julep ate Faux BLTs for dinner together. These two hanging out and eating is becoming a tradition now. Julep is still sporting her black eye from Alex, of course.

After they ate, Nina snuck a drink from Julep’s globe bar thingie and got drunk. I noticed Nina has been drinking often—she invited Julep out to a bar previously to celebrate Julep’s promotion, and now she’s drinking when she comes over to Julep’s house. Also, whenever I see Nina she seems upset or sad. It’s probably her period from the Slice of Life mod, but I like to think that maybe Nina is going through stuff in her private life.

Tictac being all cute, of course. With a mint ball of yarn, no less.

I had Julep plant a rose in her garden as a symbol for the next generation, which is the Rose generation.

That night, Tictac wanted to mate, so she was meowing constantly. In my experience, cats and dogs in this game will continue to be in heat until they get spayed, or until they actually get pregnant and have babies. I couldn’t take the meowing anymore, and I didn’t really want Tictac to have babies so I went with the spaying option.

The next morning, Julep took Tictac to the vet clinic in Brindleton Bay, and Tictac is spayed now. I think she feels better too.
