Welcome back to the Rocca family! This update is going to be more tame than the last ones. Well, mostly tame, although perhaps not so tame for poor dear Irene.

Irene: This is just terrible. All alone with two toddlers and a child that aren't even my own. And I'm the one responsible for raising them.
It'll be okay... it'll give you practice for when you have your own kids, right?
Irene: IF I have my own kids!
Oh that is not an if, my friend! It's a when!
Irene: You're making it worse!

Irene: See what I mean? I spend all my time cleaning up after these kids. Potty training, cleaning, making them food. That's what I spend my entire life doing.

For the first time in this family, we have to hire a repairman. There just isn't enough time for Irene to do everything, and she's going to be the chef.

Her husband will have the lucky job of being the gardener AND the repairman.

Keenan: I can't believe Dad's gone.
Irene: I know. I can't either. But I'll always be here for you, okay?

She really does a great job of taking care of her younger siblings. But having 4 out of 5 positive Parenthood traits has to help with that, right?

Caleb. No. Why are you here? Go away. No one in this family knows you.

Although I hire a gardener as much as I can, Irene still gets stuck caring for the garden sometimes. I don't want all of this stuff to die.

But, speaking of Irene's husband... And you know what, I think she looks really pretty here. From some angles she looks good, but from other angles I kind of cringe when I look at her.
Irene: I'm going to ignore that. And Link?
Link: Yes?
Irene: I have something to ask you, but not here.

Asking you in the kids' bedroom is more suiting for my situation. Will you be my husband? Your life will include a lot of... this, though. A lot of kids.

Link: Yes! I accept! Better lots of children then living my life doing nothing!

So sweet <3

Irene: But, why wait? Why not move in now?
Link: Okay, sure! Sounds good to me!

Link: -swoons-
Irene: Thank goodness, if I had had to spend another day with those children on my own I would have lost my tiny mind.

Keenan: You're going to live with us now?
Link: Yeah!
Keenan: All right!
Irene: Can you chitchat somewhere else? I'm trying to actually work here. Thanks.

Not a moment too soon for Irene, it's time for the twins to age up! Andromeda is up first.

She looks cute!

Mars is right behind.

They're adorable!

After the cake, let's check out their human forms.

Ooh, she's very pretty!

I think Mars is going to look a lot like his dad.

Irene: Everyone is old enough to help me now, but somehow I'm still the one who does this.

I'm still a little annoyed with the game, but only a little. However, I am sending these stupid random townies that show up on their way. No one knows you, lady, and no one wants to know you either.

Link gets to take over this job. Lucky him!

I'm not sure why they want to keep doing stuff like this on the floor, when there are desks, tables, and chairs to sit in instead.

Link. Why.

Why did you pull a ready-made sandwich out of the fridge, when there is perfect quality homemade food available?

And, after you did that, WHY DID YOU SET IT ON THE FREAKING FLOOR??
Link: I dunno.

Well you're going to eat it now, and you can go sit on the couch with your in-laws who are eating the delicious food, and you can enjoy your crappy sandwich!
...Not that he really seems to mind the crappy sandwich, honestly. He seems happy enough here :|

AND you can fix the computer. Which makes sense anyway, since you're going into the tech guru career.

I just included this picture because it's really cute <3

Caleb, no. Go away.
I love how Keenan is just sitting there doing his homework, shamelessly ignoring the door. He doesn't care if this dude knows that someone is home.
Keenan: Stranger danger!
Yeah, you're right about this one.

It's, I... I can't. I CAN'T

Freaking LINK! If you have a baby it won't even be from the bloodline! WHY! WHY! Why do the aliens like this household so much?

Keenan is playing with his little doctor set for the last time.

Because he's growing up! Teenager time.

Woooo!

Irene appears to be in pain, though.

Mars over here wakes up and decides to become a bear person. I... I don't know.

So, maybe, Keenan is a little better looking than Irene? But I like her better and at this point there's no way I'm waiting for him to become a young adult to get prepared for the next generation. So.

I don't care for this little childhood phase, honestly.

Hahahaha. I am really sick of the vampires showing up so Andromeda here is picking fights with Vlad.

And she clearly got under his skin, because when he stomps by with his pirate hat, sunglasses, towel, and zillion accessories (???) later that night, he's still mad. I intend for this to be an ongoing thing. I'm sick of him harrassing my Sims, so I'm going to pick fights with him. Also, I want her to grow up with negative character traits. I've never had a Sim with those before, so I want to try them out.

And I don't have an explanation for Vlad's outfit... I just don't.

Clearly, though, these people are not getting the picture.

Oh, now this can only mean one thing!

Yep. It's wedding time!

But they're having a small, private ceremony. No party, and no guests even.

Irene: Gee, is it a mystery why I didn't want these kids at the ceremony?

Elias's old fiance shows up. Her part in this legacy was small, and ultimately came to nothing. She has no reason to come here. Also, it looks like she has aged up to an adult.
