Chapter 1.3

Chapter 1.3 - Unfortunates

This will be a short chapter, mostly because I want to get the family speeding along on their journey. 

If you haven't noticed already, something is a little off with Romeo. He's had an intense feeling of dread for quite some time. It was steadily getting worse, and although Romeo was happy, he couldn't shake the niggling feeling he wouldn't be around to see his children grow up. 

After spending the previous day, cleaning and fixing, Romeo decided to take his family out to the Spring Fesitval. It was Love Day, and he wanted to show the ones he cared about most a cracking good time!

The Love Tester gave Charlotte and Romeo a good rating, it wasn't great, and it wasn't not good, so they were quite pleased. The children opted for running around and dancing, and after awhile, Charlotte and Romeo headed over and began to dance together romantically. 

Aren't the adorable? I know Romeo only has eyes for Charlotte, after the many years of lusting after all the single ladies, it was a good thing for him to finally settle down. Tis a shame it didn't last very long, but when you desecrate graves for a living, you need rack up some serious bad karma. 

After a little while, the family headed home and celebrated the birthdays of Matilda, and Romeo. 

This time, there didn't happen to be an exploding cake. I did only do one birthday at a time just in-case. 

Matilda is first, and she rolls the Loser trait, to go with Couch Potato like her mummy and Artistic. I apparently hadn't mentioned her traits in the previous chapter. Oops. Matilda enjoys Classical Music, Ceviche and the colour Grey. She also managed to snag her mothers French Culture trait. Yay. I was hoping at least one of the children would get it. I'm hoping I can keep the trait alive through the generations. Gaston also rolled Inappropriate to go with his Slob and Grumpy Trait.

Both the kids have their daddy's Gene's. It will be quite interesting to see how they look when they have grown into their facial features by Young Adult stage.

I think that dress is just adorable!

Time for Daddy's birthday. He doesn't look much different in this picture, just a few extra wrinkles, which he hides well. That kid is Matilda before her makeover!

The dreaded feeling was getting worse, so Romeo decided to spend some more time with his family. First, a little canoodling with his dear wifey.

And canoodling happened to end up where it always ends up...

No baby chimes!

Quick shot of his new Blue Belt. He wanted to practise, so I let him. He needed a little extra happy time.

First time the family had ever sat down and eaten together. It was a boisterous affair, even though the quality of the meal wasn't great, but they all enjoyed it, and there were some extra friendship points gathered. 

Romeo read Gaston a book about being Handy around the home. I found it to be quite cute. He was also about to read Matilda a story...but that foreboding feeling got worse and poor poor Romeo was no longer...

Yep. Mummy's curse. I purposely didn't cure him as 1, didn't have the funds to go to Egypt again, and 2, it makes for much better storytelling, and lastly, I wanted to control Charlotte... Don't judge me! I am a weak Watcher!

Charlotte, poor thing, she was quite upset. But, before I took over her completely, she decided to clean up her late husband...

Before going down into the basement and mourning her beloved after I plopped him down there.

She then proceeded to fall asleep using Romeo's sleeping bag that was transferred to her. Sleeping beside what remained of her dearest was quite sweet I thought...

So, that ends this chapter. Next time the family will be making it's way to a new town. I want to take full advantage of Isla Paradiso. And because Charlotte is broke, well, will be broke when they move, I thought it would be a much nicer place to live than where they live now...
