Family Frenemies XII
Previously: Nadia defied her mother's attempts to law down the law, kicked her dad's butt at chess, made some new friends, and discovered a newfound appreciation of science. Her parents had woohoo in a spaceship.
The cats are sick again! Oh my god, I feel like I spend 70% of my Sims time visiting the vet.
Vet: You can't fool me! I may have never seen you before, but I know for a fact I've laid hands on this cat many times in the past.
Shawn: Happy Love Day, babe! The cats are cured, and my schedule is officially cleared.
Aisha: Aww, you're not feeling well either, baby? Don't worry. We'll have you healthy again in no time.
Shawn: Guess we'll have to take a rain check on that hot date then, huh?
Vet: How many damn cats do you have, woman? You know I have clients to attend to besides you, right?
With all that time spent getting the cats taken care of, Love Day is nearly over, and a last-minute reservation at a fancy restaurant is out of the question. Instead, they head to the nearby seafood stall for a more modest dinner date.
The location may not be the most romantic, but the man certainly is.
The two of of them were perfectly content to dance the night away at home instead of going out to a bar or a club, neither of which is really their scene anyway.
It doesn't matter how they spent it. The best Love Day means simply being around the person - and pets - you care for most, no matter how that time is spent.
Shawn: Oh my gosh, honey, one of the cats left us a little present again! It's so cute I can hardly stand it! ...Honey?
Sorry, Shawn, but Aisha is a little stressed out right now. It's her big day, and she's stuck baking her own wedding cake, as if she doesn't have a million other things to worry about, too.
Aisha: All right, I'm going upstairs to change. Now I know they're cute, but do not, under any circumstances, allow those cats anywhere near my cake. Got it?
Nadia: What? She said not to let the cats eat it. She didn't say anything about me!
Oh, little girl, you are going to be in so much trouble when Aisha sees what you've done!
Aisha: It's okay. You're okay. Everything is going to be fine. Just pull yourself together and get back out there. You can do it, girl! *sobs hysterically for another ten minutes*
I don't know how much of a comfort these snoozing strays will be to her, but I find them irresistibly adorable.
What's going on here? There's so much tension in the air. Did mother and daughter just have their first major spat?
Cashew, no! Whatever it is, surely it can be resolved! You're a parent now. You can't just run away when things get hard!
All drama of runaway pets and ruined cakes aside, Aisha and Shawn managed to clean themselves up and put on their best outfits just in time. Their wedding is going to be a pretty low-key affair at the pier, with just Aisha's immediate family in attendance, which is exactly how she wants it.
Shawn: Wedding selfie! On the count of three, babe. One, two... three!
Madeline: *heavy sigh* So carefree, so innocent. I wish I could go back to those days.
Elliot: What's that supposed to mean?
Shawn: Hey, guys, what's up? So I guess we'll just stand here and chat awkwardly while we wait for your daughter to grace us with her presence?
Aisha: She's just dragging her feet because I yelled at her for eating our wedding cake. You guys really need to teach her some manners!
Nadia: I know everyone was just talking about me! It's totally because I'm the real star of this party, right?!?
Nadia, hush up for a second! Not everything's all about you all the time, god. Let Aisha and Shawn have their moment.
There we go. That's better. Aren't they beautiful?
The rings make it official. I now pronounce them husband and wife!
Aisha: Oh, all of a sudden, my tummy feels a bit funny...
Shawn: That had better be hunger and not what I think it might be!
Hilarious how Nadia not only sabotaged Aisha's first cake but is now photobombing Aisha's selfie with her second cake. This girl has guts, and I love her!
YAY, CELEBRATION!!!
Aisha, I'm really going to need you to stop clutching your stomach like that, because it means either you're sick or you're - *gulp* - pregnant. Don't you already have enough fur babies running around the house?!?
I guess Nadia is now officially going through that phase where she just screams curse words at the top of her lungs all the time, as if she wasn't already enough of a troublemaker.
Madeline: You know what? I really can't handle this right now. *slips into her bikini and leisurely sips from her drink at the pool's edge*
Elliot: The mouth on you, young lady! Where in the world is your mom?!? She doesn't expect me to handle this on my own, does she?
Elliot: Never have kids, dude. Don't do it. For the love of god, just don't.
Shawn: Don't worry, my man, we are going to take things nice and slow as far as that's concerned.
Aisha: Um, yeah, about that... I should probably go make sure that's still true.
OH, THANK GOD! Now we can all go back to having fun again!
Madeline: You want to have fun, eh? Well, how about this: I dare both of you to skinny-dip, right here, right now.
Aisha and Elliot are both totally down. It barely even took any convincing. What a family of exhibitionists!
Nadia: Hey, what's everyone up to out here? Oh, sweet, BOOBS!!!
Those boobs belong to your aunt, young lady. Shield your eyes! I swear I'm not trying to purposely corrupt her, but it just keeps happening.
Okay, as delighted as I also am that Cashew has made a grand return, put your clothes back on, Aisha, goddamn!
No? You're just going to casually let it all hang out in front of everyone for the rest of the night? Cool. Cool, cool, cool. Meanwhile, Nadia's trying to pretend like she's doing homework, but we all know what's really got her so excited.
Shawn: This is why I married you, babe. You are absolutely, positively crazy, and I love it!
Shawn: Now let's forever capture this moment before you wake up in the morning with no memory of it because you are clearly drunk as fuck!
Aisha: Wow, my boobs look really great in that one, don't they?
Shawn: Yes, darling. Yes, they certainly do.
The cats are sick again! Oh my god, I feel like I spend 70% of my Sims time visiting the vet.
