Rose 29: She's all he ever wanted

Rose

     I can't help but smile when I see Skye dancing with his little girl friend in the living room. He reminds me of his father trying to dance. Maybe Skye is a little better, but he still makes me think of Pedro. I have to turn around so that I'm not staring because he notices me and smiles.

      "I made brownies if you want one." Milo tells Carmen.
      "Oh wow, you really do look like Skye." she answers instead of saying whether or not she'll have a brownie.

     "Maybe you need to go make an appointment with an optometrist." he tells her.
     "A what?"
     "An eye doctor." he clarifies.


     Skye talks to Carmen quite a lot on the phone over the next few days.

     "So, what did he say?" I hear Skye ask her. "Please, tell me you don't actually believe that." He sighs dramatically and puts his forehead in his hand.

    Pedro has finally given up on trying to convince me to have more children.
    There has never been a time when I've ever felt like his love for me, or mine for him for that matter, has waned. I hope all my children wind up this happy and secure in the knowledge that their spouse loves them.

    The day before Spooky Day, Chasity comes over. She says she doesn't mind sleeping on the couch until tomorrow when Link ages up and they get married. She ages up right in front of all of us plus a few guests.

     After her makeover.

    The first thing Link does after he ages up is to make his engagement with Chasity official.

(That's Angela flirting with Donovan in the background. She's had one of the longest-running teenager-hoods I've seen.)

    Link says that he likes that he aged up and got married on Spooky Day since he really takes his magical abilities seriously and plans on being a master magician someday.
     The day didn't matter to Chasity. She just wanted to get married.
     I just can't help but cry! He's only ever loved one girl, and that's all. She's all he ever wanted, and they're so happy, and where are the tissues?

 (Somebody, get Rose a tissue for heaven's sake!)

    Link has his graduation tomorrow. He's been named valedictorian!

   We're at home having dinner when the great announcer in the sky declares that it's time for Milo to age up. For some reason, the great announcer in the sky claims that it's not time for Giselle, but we're doing it anyway.

     After they have makeovers. (and in their formal wear)

     Apparently, there was a prom scheduled for tonight, but the boys didn't worry about it since we decided to celebrate Link's birthday/wedding instead. Giselle, however, freaks out, thinking that she's missed her only chance at a prom since she aged up during it.
     I watch as Link and Skye give each other a knowing look.
     "You know, Giselle," Donovan breaks the silence, "you don't have to go to prom. It's not like it really matters in the long run."
     My babies are growing up too fast. It's strange that Donovan and Milo are teens at the same time, but Donovan ages up coming up this Monday.
     I'm interrupted from my reverie as Giselle argues with her older brothers about the importance of prom. She finally gets mad, walks over and kicks Donovan in the shin, messes up Skye's hair, and tries to push Link's face into his plate of food. Then she stomps upstairs to her room. Milo wisely walks into the kitchen. I guess she got my temper.

Notable Notes:
*I finally got rid of the stupid thing that was causing my sims to stand in the middle of the sink to do the dishes! yay!
*Pedro completed another drama book, Acquaintances, earning 1,002/week. I put last time that Pedro achieved his LTW, well this is the one that actually did it. I did an edit. This gave him 37k points, and I saved up a tiny bit more and got him a clone voucher. Not 100% certain I'll use it, but I was curious.
*Donovan won the art-a-thon.
*Ron Frey was scheduled to die, but Grim gave him a reprieve since his wife was expecting.
*age ups: Link - I chose natural born performer, Giselle was given frugal, I chose bookworm for Milo

Deaths:
Gino Ferrari and Myles Burnett.
