Party, Promotions, and Princess

 Note: As we last left off, Ethan jr was opening up a realm to another magical world. Let's see what the happened in the following weeks after that.  Gia has been in the house as a NPC, they haven't rolled romantic wants yet but they have both rolled the want to be good friends with the other. So hope is there. Which is good.
--

After what happened with woman after woman..   Ethan meditated on what was going on greatly. He came to the conclusion perhaps it's a good thing he'll never find love.  Because without love their won't be heartbreak. Who needs that pain anyway?

Certainly not him! Though he did think about plastic surgery more the enough times.. but why go under the knife for them? If a woman can't love him for the outside then that means they're just over looking who he is at as a whole.

He remembers what Grandmother Cecelia said about that princess. It's almost laughable, but he does wonder why he did open a portal to another realm to start with? Nothing has came out of it yet.  Though the fact he's been hearing a man's voice in his head claiming to be him. Has been a bit more of a concern right now then anything.


Maybe it's nothing to worry about.  He went to work that night and came out of it a Stage Hand.

As he stood there and brooded for a good half hour.  He decided to visit his mother and father, perhaps they know of the vampire voice he is hearing?  The voice wasn't sounding evil.. but more so it was voice of concern. He almost sounded polite at most points.

The first thing Ethan jr did while he was home was pick up little Elsa and held her close.  A bit has changed since he last visited.

Elliot is now a teen and he also now has a new little brother named Elton John Holman.

It looks little Elton inherited the Burnbright looks and their mother Delilah was pregnant once more with their her and her husband's sixth child.

Ethan jr, had to laugh: his mother who once swore she'd never have kids is now pregnant with her and his father's sixth child. But that wasn't the reason why he was here.. he was here to ask his mother and father about the voice in his head. The voice was claiming to have known both of his parents well. Perhaps,  his parents might shed some light on this.

 He heard Elliot getting upset with a phone call Ethan jr decided to put off his own questions about the vampire's voice on hold and decided to console his brother instead.

"Hey bro, what's wrong?"

"Talia, dumped me."

"Well bro... in my experience- My best advice is forget her, I know it'll be hard at first, but relationships are like glass, sometimes it's best to leave somethings broken then to hurt yourself putting it back together again- I mean sometimes-"  Ethan  jr started to get baffled but Elliot cut him off.

"It's alright bro, I understand what you're trying to saying no need to get all tongue tied on my account." 

"Thanks for being here though."


"Anytime."

Time rolled on and the two brothers just talked before it was time to go home. Ethan jr guesses his questions about the voice can be put on hold for a little while. After all his siblings come first.


After he went home and sculpted for a bit. 

Then we went to bed ignoring the voice... 'Come on! Get up! Do another magical spell. Bring her here!'

" Who? Oh! Shut up voice! Whatever.. whoever you are." He went to work that morning he didn't get much sleep but he took an invigoration potion before work to get his job done.


That night he got promoted to Band Manager and he won $200.00 dollars in the lottery as well.



















It was time for a party! Possibly just for getting his promotion, but still it has to be a formal party. The one that he was constantly wanting.


How the party went though was something else.

Alot of his aunts, uncles, cousins, and of course his parents were there to.  Ethan jr, played the act of entertainment himself.

Then again Ethan sr joined in on the fun.

Also we had a party crasher named Victoria Merris.  But hey the more the merrier!

Delilah who is still heavily pregnant came.

Sadly so did the Reaper..

The cow plant whom Ethan Jr forgot about ate a random party goer named Pauline...

Rest in peace Pauline.. and Rest in peace Cow plant whom Ethan Jr forgot about.

But nobody else seemed to notice and there was no body. So this may have been a suicide by cow plant? Or accidental death?

All the meanwhile..

Mother and son had a magical duel outside.

 

 Of course Delilah won, weather it's her being the more experienced witch or maybe it's because Ethan Jr went easy on her because of his new sibling in there. We won't know.

By the end of the night the party was considered a blast and everyone had fun attending. Though Ethan jr did wonder what happened to that Pauline girl from work. Maybe she went home early?  He shrugged, he'll see her tomorrow at work.

The next night at work he didn't see Pauline at all, but he did get promoted to Music Talent Scout.  But little did he know a princess just jumped out of his wardrobe closet.  While he was at work.

Meanwhile in a far away realm.

Fayla Winters the Queen of the Fae, traveled far to the land of the Blue elves. The Queen usually resides in Moonlight falls. However, when she heard her daughter Gia was being held prisoner by her half -brother Prince Leif.  She just had to do something. 

That is exactly what she did. She put a magical spell that led her daughter away from the Blue elves. Where? Is unknown to Leif but she made it clear to him that her daughter is no longer his prisoner.

For the spell that Fayla put on Gia to work another witch or warlock would have to open the portal on the other side. Thankfully that happened. Gia's whereabouts  is unknown to both her and Leif  but she can sense that her daughter is in a safe place.

Now confronting her former step-son about it is a whole another story.

Though it's true once a upon a time Fayla was married to the Blue Elf King Cedric. Gia's and Leif's father. Fayla was once Leif's step mother. During this time Leif hated the Queen of the Fae did as he does now.

It was no secret that Leif hated his father for remarrying a few short years after his mother died. It was like his father was trying to replace his loving mother with Fairy trash.

When his new baby sister was born? He ignored her on sight and pretty despised her ever since birth well into adulthood. Gia is 105 years old while Leif is 119.  Leif must be insane to hold a grudge for over one century. Why he did hold a grudge against his sister? For simply being born? Or was it because she was daddy's little girl and Leif since then had to share his father's affection?

So when the King died from unknown causes. It was rumored Leif poisoned him. However that has never been proven.  Some say King Cedric is still alive somewhere as his body was missing from his casket sometime after the funeral one can never know for sure though.

"Bring her back Fayla, she's being held for high treason."

"I won't. She's under the protection of the Fae now. If you touch her. There will be a war."

"She tried to have me killed! I am King here and the punishment for that is death! I want her here now!"

Fayla will not, nor will she ever believe Gia is capable of killing anyone.  Ever since childhood her daughter has been afraid of spiders, the dark, chickens, horses, milk, among many other phobias her daughter possessed. Gia wasn't the type to attempt assassination on her brother no manner how horrible he may have been to her and every other blue elf who came along. No, there must be another reason why Leif was holding her captive.

"I will not."

"You bring her back NOW-"

Before he knew it Fayla performed a inner beauty spell on him.

"Now everyone, everywhere will get to see you for the person you are on the inside."

Meanwhile back in Butterfly Acres.

When Ethan ran into his mother outside of his work.

He just talked to his mother's belly... "Hello there little one! Are you going to say hi back?"  Just as he said that Delilah's water broke.

He had a cab take his mother to the hospital.  But instead of walking inside of the hospital room with her.

He just stood outside and went into full panic attack mode. Heck, even his dad rushed to the hospital when Delilah phoned him.  But Ethan jr couldn't quite stop panicking over his mother giving birth in there.

But Ethan jr stood outside the whole time until his little brother was born. Infact he welcomed him into the world with music.

With the music he was playing gave Delilah a neat idea for a name for her sixth child. (Hopefully last!)  

She named him Elvis Holman.

Delilah insisted to her oldest that he should go home now and get some rest he's been standing outside all night until morning hours after-all.

He reluctantly went home, to find quite the surprise.

"Are you the owner of this place?"

"Yes that I am-"

"Were you one that opened the other side of the portal?"

"Well yeah..."

"Thank you so much! I don't know know what I can do to repay you- but I will! I would've been killed if you hadn't have answered. Allow me to introduce myself my name is Gia Gardens. Princess Gia Gardens of the Blue elves and of course princess of the Fae."

It seemed one part of his grandmother's prediction came true he did meet a princess but he doubts it'll develop into anything more.

"May I ask your name sir?"

She is polite.

"Ethan Nathaniel Burnbright. Oh, and think nothing of it anyone would help out someone in need. Welcome to Butterfly acres Princess-" He started to bow.

"Nice to meet you Ethan. No need to bow, I consider you just like everyone else my equal." She help stood him up.

Ethan blinked, and here he thought Fae royalty liked being bowed to. Then again he has heard alot of things about the fae.  Somethings good and somethings bad. Perhaps this can be a learning experience he can learn from.

"Tell me Gia do you have any place to stay?"

Gia paused and blinked for a moment.

"No I suppose not- but maybe I'll find a place around here-"

"No need, you can stay here. What kind of gentlemen would I be if I kicked a nice lady like you out into the cold?"

"Are you sure? We just met."

"If you were any danger my protection spell would have teleported you far away from here. Besides I have more then enough room."

Gia would've have normally ran away from him, like she does with most people she's unfamiliar with.  But she sensed she was truly in a safe place. That she was protected here. She can't quite explain it.. 

Truth be told she's something of a coward and rarely felt safe anywhere. So her feeling safe was new and a somewhat unexpected feeling to her.

As cowardly as she maybe...  She was still capable of courageous acts like holding peaceful protest against her brother's tyranny. She never did try to kill him: like Leif accuses her of. However she did try to make him have a change of heart. For these acts she almost gotten herself killed.

If she went back home to the Blue elves they'll kill her. She needs to go to the Fae, she needs to find her mother and get this all straightened out. The Blue elves need to be out of Leif's control.  Even if it meant going to war. Not for fame, or glory.  But it's simply doing the right thing. People are suffering because of her brother and something needs to be done about this.  However finding her mother is easier said then done.

While Fayla is indeed queen of the Fae. Gia knew the fairies keep their past, present, and future Kings and Queens hidden from the public and for their own safety. Gia chose to be with the Blue elves and for that fairy government hid her mother whereabouts from her as well. Whenever Gia wanted to contact her it was always threw magical means. Fayla broke the rules to break her daughter out of prison and hide her away.  Though of course the elders wouldn't punish their own Queen.

She explained her situation to Ethan, and he said he may know someone who may know where her mother is.  

So Ethan jr, went to the person who told him about his future to began with: Grandma Cecelia.

To be continued..

Notes: I forgot there was a cow plant there. So I written it in like Jr forgot to. I have no idea how much further should I go into that accidental death story wise.. But I think I'll just resurrected this Pauline girl with one of the many plates of Ambrosia I've been holding back. She's haunting here all the time so.. why not?   I also have no clue why Ethan jr wouldn't walk into the hospital with his mother! He just sat there outside of the door still in full on panic mode. I hope he don't freak out like that when I get my heir! Delilah now has six children.. hopefully there will be no more.

 Bonus pics...

Elsa as a child.

Elaine as a child.

I'll show more pic of little Elton, and of course little Elvis when he ages up. So that's all for now. I do hope you enjoyed this chapter.

Baby Blues and Graduation.

Welcome back and happy holidays everybody! Hope everyone has a great new year! Thank you to Jazen, Piazzagirl, and Sweetnightingale for presents! I have enough pics for the next two updates. But let's see how much I got covered in this one. On with the story.
---
 Ethan sr, was thrilled to hear the news he was going to be a father again.

He couldn't wait to meet the newest member of the family boy or girl. He's proud to be a father once more. Ethan jr on the other hand didn't quite know how to take the news.

 With a new baby brother or sister coming around Ethan knew his life was about to change. If for the better or for the worst he wasn't really sure. But maybe mom and dad will focus more on the baby instead of him. Perhaps it'll be his way to freedom but on the other hand he wishes mom didn't have a nursery built right next to his bedroom. Why does he have to listen to crying baby all night?  Ethan jr didn't really like babies and swore to himself he'll never have children. All they do is cry.. what good is that? What is the purpose?!




























He did try talking to his mother about not having the baby so close to his room. But all it did was turn into argument.



















"But mom!"

"NO! I decided where this baby's room should be you should abide by that. Besides I think with the baby's nursery being next to you maybe a good experience for you."

Ethan jr sighed and gave up. Once mom had her mind set on something it's hard to change it. Though he will never understand what 'good experience' come out being next door to baby. Pregnancy hormones must be making his mother loopy.

He decided not to argue anymore. He'll be eighteen soon enough and out of here.

Delilah thought once the new baby comes here Jr will warm up to his little brother or sister. It was important for the siblings to have a close bond.


Nine months flew by and Delilah finally went into labor.

But instead of going to the car she called a cab Ethan was to panicked.

The delivery was quick and easy.. after a few short hours. Delilah and Ethan welcomed Elliot Pal Holman into their lives. A tiny werewolf.

Delilah thought it was fitting to name her newest baby boy after both of her fathers.  The two men who raised her and love her.

As time went on with the new baby here Ethan jr tried to leave his baby brother alone and completely to his parents to keep care of.  He didn't want to hold him or have anything to do with the little werewolf.

They do love their little Elliot...

They only wished Jr felt the same way about his sibling.

One night Elliot cried and cried..

"Oh what do you want?!" Ej shouted... "Ugh.. babies."  He sighed and gave him a bottle. He wondered if that will shut up the little wolf.

Ethan stared into those large red eyes of Elliot's.

"I guess for a little wolf you are kinda of cute... for a loud mouth that is."

Over the following weeks he did grow fond of his baby brother.

"I am sorry for calling you a loud mouth wolf."


As time went on Ethan jr would do other activities outside of the nectary. 

He was trying desperately to learn the potent invigoration elixir. Since Delilah put a spell on her alchemy cabinet to keep jr away from the instant age potion. He threaten to make himself eighteen sooner..  His mother will have none of that.

Time marched on and it was time for Ethan jr to finally get what he was wanting his eighteenth birthday of course this mean a double birthday party for him and his brother Elliot. Because Ethan jr insisted this is a formal birthday party.

All the usual party guest came.



First up baby Elliot.

Who aged into a beautiful little wolf...

Elliot after edit.

Delilah's hair and large eyes like the Burnbrights but the rest is diffidently after his father Ethan.  Next up Ethan jr!

He wished for fame...

"Here I go..."

(Before Edit.)

Off to the stylist for you!



(After edit.)

He rolled the Brooding trait.. oh, dear. Generation five: Genius, Virtuoso, Party Animal, Proper, and Brooding. Lifetime wish: To be a rockstar.


Here he is in formal ware since he loves waring it so much we're going to have to get use to it.

The double birthday party was a hit. People dancing, and talking, playing video games. Also Delilah decided to adopt a puppy for Elliot.

Who aged up right after adopting him.

We all get a better picture of Mister. Boots that way.

Cecelia is now a elder but still active as ever!

The party was now over and it was a blast.

The day of graduation was almost here and Jr was worried.

The thought of staying home and being with his family for awhile was quite the tempting thought.

But his mother and father for his eighteenth birthday bought him one hell of a home!

Where better for a proper, party animal to get his kicks?

Just a few days ago before his eighteenth birthday, he couldn't wait to grow up.

Now that he is... He's scared. He's now responsible for his own actions, neither mother nor father will be there to bail him out anymore.  Being Solo was quite the scary thought.

He did try contemplating the meaning of this... but could never really come up with any clear answers.


His only thought is to have fun... but brood about it for four more hours..

The time for graduation was here.

Being a genius that he is: It should be no surprise that Ethan jr graduated Valedictorian and was voted: Most likely to be a rock star. It was fate!

He felt he was on top of the world and of course both mom and dad are proud of him.

As was his father...


Even Great Grandmother Beatrice came by to congratulate jr.

He told her his plans of joining the music career.

"What a coincidence! I am in the music career myself these days, I am a back up vocalist. I'll put in good word for you back at work."

:"Great grandmother Beatrice, I thought you were an astronaut!"

"I was but I retired from that many years ago.. from the first time I was an elder. Before your grandmother turned me young again. I couldn't join back up with the military, but I did discover my talents in music."


"Oh, I see... well see you at work then if I get the job."


"Will see you there."

That night before moving into his new home he said one final good bye to his family. Even though he'll be right now down the rode he was going to miss them.


A little tour of Ethan jr's home.

The spare bedroom.

Diner area.

Kitchen with Agatha's old fridge in it. Finally a time to put all my steam punk furniture to good use!

Master Bedroom

Of course a basement full of things for Ethan to build up his skills on.

He got settled in right away.

No mother to stop him now!




Maybe drinking to much wasn't that great of an idea after all.

That's what you get after three pitchers full. However drinking wasn't all he did. He practiced his writing skill.

Got to work on his first sculpture.

He did very good on his first try.

Ethan jr's first masterpiece.

He applied for a job at the theater.  He got hired on the music career as a fan.

                                                                                                    

















He reported in to work and on time everyday and he did work very hard. On his third day he got promoted to Roadie.

His mother came by to congratulate him and had some news of her own.

"Thank you mom and keep care of my new baby brother or sister in there."

"Oh, I will Hun. I keep good care of all my babies this includes you."

"Mom, I am not a baby anymore."

"Don't talk like that you'll always be my little boy."


Eight months later Ethan jr came to visit his two new baby sister. He was quite surprised his mother had twins.. then Grandma Cecelia is a twin. Perhaps twins truly do skip a generation?

A little werewolf named Elaine.


He also welcomed a little witch named Elsa.

Two new baby sisters.. good thing his father is an Alpha wolf he'll chase away the boys so big brother won't have to.

Also little brother Elliot had his birthday right there while Ethan was visiting.

 Elliot as a child.

 He gave his little brother a good birthday present and he shared a few childhood secrets with him.

The two brothers just talked until was time for Elliot's bedtime.  Ethan jr went home that night happy.. happier then he's been in awhile.


Then he heard a voice in his head when he got home.



'Open the portal, get her out before it's too late.'

The voice almost hypnotic like a Vampire's voice. He don't know why he did what he did.. but he opened up a portal to another dimension.

To be continued...

Up next: A party, more promotions on game he's level 4 of the music career and level seven on the guitar, and then a blue elf/fairy princess we've all been waiting for.


Notes/Bonus pics: I had originally intended for Ethan jr's generation to be a love triangle between him and two girls. But the female werewolf I sat in town for him to be his first girlfriend.. will see for yourself I had her in the music career to.

They met..

This is weird it's not a full moon and she didn't have any negative traits.. but.. she started yelling at him.

Then they just...

Fought for no reason! I checked it wasn't the curse bite.


She won obviously...

This is all on freewill without me directing anything.

He cast an ice spell on her.

...This makes me interested/afraid to do a bachelor challenge with Ethan jr. Women seem to hate him on my game! If I did that challenge with him it might end up with all the girls might taking turns beating him up! This makes it the 12th time he's been rejected I know I tried it with other girls all around France and some my townie's in Butterfly acres.  ..First time a girl kicked his butt though, he usually gets rejected/slapped.

Let's hope things work out between him and Gia.

 I never had a sim so rejected before. Hell my founder Agatha was asked out on dates all the time.  So much for that love triangle I wanted. We won't see Dorothy the Werewolf again she'll just be another townie.

More bonus pics.

Jr's graduation was on a full moon.

Ethan sr went full on wolf.

Little Elliot fainted before going wolf himself.

Then little Elliot tore up a bench.

Also Ethan sr giving some dude the curse bite.

Also same Fat Fairy that broke into Delilah's house when jr was a baby tried flirting with her.

As we can tell she rejected him. Sorry fat Fairy she only has eyes for her werewolf.


When Ethan jr visited his parents... they..

Delilah are you crazy?! You just had twin girls!

But I digress last but not lease...


Elaine as a toddler

That little wolf is an interesting mix of both parents.


Elsa as a toddler.

I must say they are cute : ), nice mix of both mom and dad their.  Delilah had no fertility treatment, none of that the twins are all natural. Took me by surprise she had two more.

Pal and Cecelia's youngest child Darlene as a child.

Cecelia as an elder a closer view.

I do hope Cecelia and Pal live long enough to see Darlene as a young adult.

Also I got Ethan jr's home from here.   http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=6017783  the inside doesn't look exactly the same because I didn't own all the items the game swapped them out. But still I felt the style of the house fit Ethan jr's personality to a T.  It seemed perfect for a proper, Brooding, Party Animal. Lol, don't you think?  I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. May you all have a happy new year.
