Chapter 1.16

Chapter 1.16- Phedra’s Big Adventure.

                Phedra had been with Helen to each of her visits to the doctor. Because of the yelling, this was where she was sure her Mama went.

                Also, because of this, she was fairly sure she remembered the way. First was the subway station at the park by their house. There was a station at the hospital where she could get out.

                Normally, she didn’t meet the height requirements to ride by herself, but Phedra had toddler glitch magic. She’d just stretch her skeleton for a moment.

                Popping back to her normal size at the hospital unbalanced her. But she was at the hospital.

                She had no idea that there was an electronic eye you had to trigger for the doors to work.

                It was a surprise that she couldn’t get in to her Mama. It just made her believe all the more, though, that her Mama was in there.

                She waited a long time. The sun was even starting to set, and still she sat.

                Finally, Mama came out carrying a baby.

                She didn’t see Phedra, and Phedra started to cry.

                Phedra looked up and saw her Daddy through the glass, but he didn’t see her either.

                ‘PlumbBob, that sounds like Phedra,” Helen thought as she walked toward the subway entrance. She looked behind her to make sure Buck was following.

                Buck looked directly at the little girl wailing in distress. But it just didn’t register that it could really be Phedra. Phedra was at home with the sitter and Cyrus. She couldn’t get here, could she?

                And so Buck, too, walked away from Phedra.

                So Phedra got up and followed the two.

                Her tiny feet were starting to get a little tired, but she was going to get back to Mama.

                Back to the subway station…

                Again, Helen heard what sounded like Phedra’s wail inside the station, but it just couldn’t be.

                And out again at the station at the park. Phedra could see her mother walking ahead of her. Mama was going home. Phedra would go home, too.

It’s a miracle there were no cars.

                Phedra heard the bicycle bell ring, but didn’t realize it was because of her. She just wanted to get back to Mama.

                Phedra was almost there. She had left hours ago and had only stopped a short time.

                There were lights on at home. She wasn’t used to seeing the house from outside after dark. It was pretty.

So close…

                The grass was much softer for her feet than the concrete was.

                Almost there…

                Safe.

Notes: I simply sat back and took pictures here as I could barely believe what I was watching. I have never ever heard of a toddler following a laboring sim mother to the hospital and back home again in the end. I have the “toddler interactions” mod that I believe caused it. It hadn’t been updated for the coding with patch 1.42 when this occured and if I looked at Phedra’s maptag it said “explore around,” which is an interaction associated with this particular mod (her action queue was empty.) The mod has been updated now, and I love it and highly reccommend it. You can find it here: Toddler Interactions Mod by Cherry92 at Modthesims.info

This is the final birth in THIS household!
And so the roll reveal: 4 kids!
And the Misc. Fun roll is half-siblings. I did help Helen have twins a bit as I really didn’t want another baby daddy while the family structure is Couple. She listened to the kids station on the radio for about 4 hours one day. I’m calling it luck that it worked out to only twins with one boy and one girl. Names are next chapter. ;)
