Crimson Falls BACC - Week 9: Van der Voeten

Last week, the youngest Van der Voeten kid (Sophia) became a teen and fell in love with Laia Schol (who we already saw at college this rotation). Kendra and Alwin became elders, Thomas grew up to an adult and moved in his girlfriend Anya de Korte. They got engaged soon after. By the end of the week, William and Sophia moved to college. That leaves us with only Alwin, Kendra, Thomas and Anya!

It looked like it wouldn't be the four of them for very long, as Anya was expecting.

Her first pop followed soon after the first morning sickness.

Thomas was over the moon! He had always wanted a large family (I believe his ideal family size is about 5 of 6 kids) and couldn't wait to have a baby of his own. I was also quite happy, as I really like Kendra and Alwin and they were about to become grandparents for the first time.

Another day, another pop! Thomas got promoted to level 5, and has some hearts for some Sim I don't know. Oh, well.

Alwin and Kendra still loved each other very much. With only Thomas and Anya around, they didn't have to use their bed to have some privacy ;-) That was a bit harder when all five of their children were still at home.

It's time to meet the next generation! Thomas looked so excited and scared at the same time.

Here she is, little Morgan de Korte. 

Thomas was over the moon and gladly took care of her.

Having his mother around was also great, as she loved to take care of her granddaughter.

Anya was less focused at Morgan, and more at her job (ideal family size: 0... not a great combination with Thomas). She got promoted to level 5 of Law Enforcement.

Thomas was a bit happier with his promotion than Anya. He got to level 6 of the Law Enforcement career.

Despite their very different views of the future, Anya and Thomas tied the knot. They were sure they could work things out and compromise about the amount of kids they would have.

Anya was having a hard time taking care of Morgan. She was glad to have her husband and in-laws around, as she avoided being alone with Morgan most of the time.

The feeling that she wasn't ready for this life, became stronger every day. But she loved Thomas so much, and she had since they were teens, so she couldn't bring herself to talk about it.

Kendra maxed out her cooking skill.

I just don't know how to caption this, but it was too funny to let it out :-)

Kendra spent a lot of time at home with Morgan, her working hours were easy to combine with the little girl.

Kendra invited some Sims over to become friends, as both Thomas and Anya needed some family friends to get promoted. One of them is Simon Dorrestein.

It worked! Thomas got promoted to level 7.

Anya didn't get promoted, but she didn't have time to think of it.

Alwin got promoted to level 9 of the Education career. He's so close to reaching his LTW!

Birthday time! Morgan was about to become a toddler.

There she is. She looks a lot like Anya, but she has Thomas' eye shape. She's a Gemini, 3/2/9/2/1.

I loved to see Alwin with his granddaughter. And Morgan's outfit matches the nursery flawless ;-)

Anya was shocked to find out she was expecting baby #2.

Alwin maxed out his Cleaning skill, which was the last one he needed for his final promotion. He might reach his LTW tomorrow!

Thomas and Morgan became best friends.

This little girl got so much attention. Her father and grandparents barely gave her time to play by herself, as they were always autonomously cuddling her and playing with her. So adorable.

No. NO. NOOOOOO. I didn't see this one coming! 

Poor Alwin passed away one day before possibly reaching his LTW :-(

When Kendra came home and found out her husband had died, she was inconsolable. I felt so bad for her.

Pop!

Anya was quite anxious about having a second child, but when she also got food poisoning she wasn't sure she would actually survive this.

Luckily, she started feeling better just before she went into labour.

Anya's fear of having this baby got Thomas quite concerned. He was there to help her during labour.

Anya was relieved when Tristan was born. But she soon realized she wasn't ready for this. Thomas knew it, too.

Kendra was thrilled to have her second grandchild!

Having two little kids while she actually didn't want kids at all - at least for now, was too much for Anya. She and Thomas decided their plans for the future were too different to continue like this. So they separated in a friendly way.

Anya was relieved she and Thomas could divorce while still being friends.

And when Kendra was taking care of little Tristan...

...Thomas said goodbye to Anya, whose last name got changed back into De Korte. Morgan and Tristan stayed with their father, as Anya moved out to find out what she wanted to do with her life.

This family donated 100,000 to the university fund.
