Chapter 0:2 - Runaway Baby

I can't believe this is happening...

Jenna can't look after herself, and it seems I can't either. Good thing she doesn't have any dependants she has to care for or anything, that could be disastrous.

Oh wait. She does.

Good thing Shawn exists, this challenge would be a lot more stressful otherwise!

Confession time: Usually with legacies I just skip the baby part faster than you can say "Mr. Stork", but I felt like I had to endure it for this challenge because, well, it wouldn't be a challenge if it wasn't challenging at all.

But surely this kid is pooping more than usual?

This picture makes me die a little more inside every time I look at it. Where are we going wrong with you, Jenna?

Oh wait, the whole baby thing didn't last that long at all?

Maybe I should start leaving the game on normal speed and just watching everything unfold in front of my eyes.

So, Arin allegedly grew up to be a slob - I've yet to see it - and an Artistic Prodigy. If the Dazello's weren't so broke I'd probably see to it that Arin has a few toys to play with. But they're broke, so no.

Jenna, you're not exactly being the best role model for Arin right now...

Oh no, it's worse than I thought. He's running away already!

Seriously though, what the heck has brought him outside like this?

Hours later, he just moves here. I can't figure out this boy's motives at all...

Phew, one thought of Daddy and he's coming home.

Not that it matters anyway, Shawn's been dancing this whole time!

Oh yeah, we should be getting on with more baby making, shouldn't we?

What better way to tell your spouse that you're pregnant other than peeing out a positive test result?

I'm sure Shawn's happy, but I think it's his stink clouds that's making him teary...

Either way, the next day marks the start of the weekend, and I figure it's time for Jenna and Arin to make a trip to the park.

God damn it, he's running away already...

I'll let you know how the park and pregnancy adventures go next time.

Until then, may your plumbobs be evergreen! <3

Chapter 0:1 - Miss Demeanour

Last time on Dazello Days, we left Shawn to his own devices while Jenna was at work...

We didn't know what to expect, but I certainly wasn't expecting this!

That's right. He left. He just left. No broken homes or shattered dreams, he was just a polite gentleman and skadoodled out the door. I hope this means he'll be nice like that for the rest of the challenge when he's a proper family member.

Heck, I'm meant to be taking perfectly good care of Jenna and I'm struggling to get her sorted out! The next couple of days were pretty tame for Jenna, just keeping her needs fulfilled, heading to her work (as a secret agent) and painting while she can.

But I didn't sign up for this challenge so Jenna could live alone, so she invites Shawn over again and gets her job done quick.

Bish.

Bash.

Bosh.

There, now he's married to her so he has to stay! Mwahahaha...

Wait, his first autonomous action as Mr. Dazello is to take out the garbage?

More like we found Mr. Darcy!

You've passed the first test, good sir... But how do you stand against BABIES?!

Because I tell you this now: You'll be expecting one real soon.

But not before we pretend morning sickness isn't a thing, huh Jenna?

Jenna as a whole has been pretty weird while being pregnant, she randomly wanted to talk to this one chick outside that she briefly met at the museum when she first met Shawn.

But judging from this, I guess everyone likes her? She was only trying to fish, poor dear!

Jenna also demonstrated why she has the evil trait in the form of breaking EVERYTHING.

She's my TH and quite frankly I expected better behaviour from her.

You're like a corrupted Midas, everything you touch turns to A WRECK.

At least I can tell her to sort out her own messes!

Oh, wait. Is it that time already?! I guess I was too busy crying over how destructive Jenna is to really pay attention to her baby bulge.

Shawn is so done with this labour business.

Jenna looks scared about how to get the baby out of her and into the bassinet.

Oh, there we go! One bouncing baby boy in the family.

So much relief... Until Round 2 that is...

Usually with legacies I tend to give the children names based on Greek/Roman Gods or I simply randomise them, but recently I've fallen back in love with the Game Grumps, so for this round of babies we're gonna have Grumplets. Naturally, the first born had to be called Arin.

I think now's a good time to call it a night. We'll see just how good Jenna and Shawn's parenting skills are next time.

Until then, may your plumbobs be evergreen! <3

Chapter 0:0 - The Beginning

In the beginning, there was a Sim.

This Sim was called Jenna Dazello - that's why this blog's called Dazello Days, you see?

Jenna lived in a beautiful, slightly pink cottage that was built by aloofsearah729; not that she knew who was responsible for creating such a humble abode, she was just happy to have a roof over her head. (Seriously though, thank you Searah!)

Jenna, like every other Sim, had little quirks about her. She was a cheerful, outgoing spirit who was also something of a muser - being a Painter Extraordinare doesn't just come to any Sim, you know.

But Jenna was also...

Ever so slightly...

Evil.

How evil? I couldn't tell you myself, but she was at least sadistic. She enjoyed every moment of Nancy Landgraab's increasing anger towards her.

Perhaps a little bit too much...

But hey, even art forging criminal masterminds need to find love too, right? If not, at least a partner in crime could always help. So, we sent her off to the perfect spot to find like-minded villains...

The museum!

Looks like we've found a good candidate already...

This gentleman here is Shawn Jamison, a squeamish loner with a childish streak. He's unemployed, but he's also single. He's almost perfect!

I did say almost...

Jenna managed to talk to him and flirt a little, but you know Sims in public places, they always have to throw themselves in conversations at every chance. So, amidst Jenna chatting to several other people at the same time, Shawn managed to mosey on away from the museum without her knowing. It's okay though, because she was getting pretty hungry anyway.

Can we just take this moment to appreciate that old guy in the back? You go, old guy!

Well, with nothing else to do around here, let's set off home.

Wait, isn't that Nancy Landgraab? Looks like we have to stay here a little bit longer... Jenna rolled a whim to make an enemy after all.

Perhaps Jenna should've thought twice about crossing her, but they're certainly enemies now so... Mission Accomplished?

Finally home, but dazed out of her head, now I figure it's a good time for her to get some painting done.

It's so cute, I almost want to keep it... But I want the money more, so let's sell it.

Fully recovered from the fisticuffs and a long day at work, Jenna invites Shawn over for some alone time.

But without any form of entertainment, she quickly gets rather tense.

After buying a small stereo and letting Jenna take a snooze, we've got to turn up the volume on this couple.

They're now boyfriend and girlfriend, just a little longer then we'll see be seeing this challenge really begin!

...Or perhaps, it already has begun. Jenna's had to go to work, but Shawn was invited to stay the night. In other words, I've left Shawn home alone!

Maybe I'll see some sort of chaos descend upon me without even realising... I'll let you know in the next chapter.

Until then, may your plumbobs be evergreen! <3
