4.32 Wake Up

OMG WOOOOO!!
Sorry guys, I had total game failure, but it appears to be fixed now :D Sooo I'm back! Woo! Missed these guys SOOOO much you wouldn't believe! Don't know what I'll do when the generation is over!

Ok, so, you may remember there was an adulty bit last chapter? Well, if you didn't/couldn't read it, here's what you missed: Kaity said "I love you" to Winters face. The end. The only reason it was adult was 'cus she swore and said it naked... Promise... Ok, well maybe they did stuff too. Like, y'know, when a man loves a woman veeeeery much.... etc. Anyway. Back to the story!

Oh, please ignore the clocks in this chapter. Something's happened and they're all stuck at 12.00 *shrugs* oh well.

 Kaity woke when her alarm very rudely screamed at her. She groaned, 5.30am had arrived again. Why did she ever think running her own business was a good idea? She moved to roll over and hit snooze on the alarm, when it turned itself off and an arm draped itself over her before pulling her close. Lips kissed her shoulder blade, and a second arm snaked its way under her head. Winter was back. She smiled and pushed herself closer to his cool body.
"Mmmmm." Kaity moaned happily. "Maybe Shae can handle the shop herself today..." Winter squeezed her a little tighter, before lifting his head slightly to talk low in her ear.
"But it's Thursday. I thought you always had loads of appointments Thursdays?" Kaity moaned and rolled onto her back.

"Way to ruin another moment, Winter." He smiled, and propped himself up on one arm, stroking her hair.
"What is it with you and your obsession with me ruining moments?" He asked.
"What's your obsession with ruining moments?" She yawned, closing her eyes.

"Kaity." Kaity opened her eyes. "You need to get up."
"I am." She replied.
"No, you fell asleep again." Kaity sat up slightly to look over his shoulder at the clock. 5.45am.
"Oops." She stated, not really caring, and let herself fall back onto the bed. "Are you working today?"
"No, I'm off 'til Monday now."

"Me too." Kaity lied, turning over and pushing Winter back onto the bed, pulling his arm around her and settling her head on his shoulder.
"I think you're lying." Winter accused. Kaity shook her head and snuggled further into him. "Yes you are." Winter poked the tip of her nose, and Kaity quickly moved her head and gently bit the end of his finger. "No. My finger." Winter spoke like a posessive child, and tried to tug his finger out of her mouth.

"Kaity?" Shaena's voice called through the door. "I didn't hear your shower come on."
"I'm getting to it!" Kaity moaned, and Winter pulled his finger free.
"Do you want me to get the twins up?"
"Yes please, I'm getting up now."
"Ok, I'm doing pancakes for breakfast. I figured you'd need the sugar." Shaena giggled as she spoke, and Kaity grinned.
"Extra syrup, please." She lifted her head and winked at Winter.
"Got it. See you in a minute."

Kaity yawned, before taking Winters hand from her shoulder and rolling herself over him until she was face-up on top of him with his arm wrapped around her chest.
"Kaity..." Winter warned. Kaity hugged his arm to her and made a little satisfied moan. "Come on. Up."
"I am up. I'm off the bed, aren't I?" She giggled, and Winter moved his free hand to her ribcage, threatening to tickle. "Ok, jeez, I'm getting up ok!" Winter smiled and kissed her temple, before turning onto his side so Kaity slid off him. Kaity begain trying to climb back on, shimmying around and generally not getting anywhere.
"Stop that before someone gets hurt." He muttered. Kaity sat up suddenly and twisted herself to face him.
"Oooh, is that a threat?" She leaned forward to kiss him, but before she made it she found herself on the floor.

Winter propped himself up on one arm, and laughed at the shocked expression on his girlfriends face.
"Hate to say I told you so..." He taunted as Kaity flopped back on the floor, legs still held vertical by the bed.
"I could be seriously injured here and you're laughing at me." She sulked.
"Nah, you're far too quiet to be injured." He teased, before offering his hand to help her up. She pouted before letting him pull her back onto the bed. Kaity grinned as she pushed him back against the mattress and lay herself on top of him.

She pulled back just millimetres from his lips and accused:
"Did you see that coming you psychic loser? I actually hate you. I hope you die and worms eat your psychic loser brains." She moved to kiss him, but Winters hand pushed her back.
"What did you say?" Kaity looked at him, and he looked shocked.
"I was only joking! You know that."
"No, it's not that..."

He quickly sat, pulled her as close as he could, and started furiously kissing her, pulling away momentarily to tell her that he loved her, before going back to kissing. Kaity was confused. Very confused. But right now she had the kisses she'd wanted, so she'd let it fly for a minute.

"I should insult you more often." Kaity grinned once Winter finally pulled back a little. "What was that about?"

 Winter pecked her once more on the lips.
"The day we met, at the conference." He paused, and Kaity nodded. "I had an auditory premonition-" Kaity pulled a face. "As in, like a vision, but sound only. In that 'vision', you said that bit you just said about me dying and worms eating my brains. I was heartbroken, thinking that we'd never work out because of it."
"So you've spent all this time getting me to jump through hoops for you, even though you figured we were doomed from the start?"
"Not exactly, I-"
"And you told me it wasn't love at first sight, but you can't be heartbroken over the loss of someone you only met a few hours ago. And why would you drag me up to your room right after if you didn't want to get your heart broken? And-" Winter kissed her to shut her up.

"Ok, one, you can feel heartbroken when something you hoped might happen seems like an impossibility. Two, I seem to remember you were the one who approached me, and seduced me, and dragged me up to my room. And three, I thought it would be better to have what time I could have with you, even if it would end in pain. Pain like while I was in China and you wouldn't answer your phone." He ended, turning the conversation around.

"Yeah, well... I didn't know what to say! You always know what to say, and the words that come out of your mouth are what you wanted to say..." Winter smiled at her admission.
"I know. I understand. It just hurt that you wouldn't even text me to say you were ok. The only way I knew you were still alive was by asking how Autumn and the girls were doing."
"I'm sorry." Kaity apologised. Probably the easiest apology she'd ever had to do, and the most truthful.
"I know." He pulled her back for a kiss.

The sounds of two little girls racing to the bathroom reminded Kaity what she should be doing.
"Crap." She mumbled into his lips, slowly climbing off the bed and pulling Winter with her, not wanting to break the kiss.
"Kaity." Winter spoke into her mouth, pushing her gently away. Kaity stood, and finally broke the kiss.
"I love you." She smiled.
"I love you too." He returned, as she backed into her ensuite blowing kisses at him as she closed the door.




Sorry... That's kinda the end of the chapter, but please keep reading because I need to picspam and explain something.

Right. As you may have worked out (but I 100% understand if you haven't), the amount of time that's passed since the start of the generation doesn't match up with the real-life years I've been attempting to create.  The seasons don't matter, they last for ages in my story anyway. In story, it has currently been just over a year (lets say about 14 months) since Bonnie died and Winter came back, which puts the entire generation so far at about 2 years. Obviously, the kids have aged more than that, and in the interest of moving this along (as much as I don't want to leave my 'Kwinter' behind) it's about to get more confusing.

I've gone ahead and aged all the kids up. This took almost the entirety of last weekend (slow, temperamental game). Now. The ages have gone all funny in my game. Shaena is only 5 days into young adulthood, despite aging up, moving out, moving back in, getting pregnant etc etc. She should be around her adult birthday by now, but all my ages are borked.
The kids... Right, I had to do some maths for this. The twins aged to kids the day before the 'triplets'  (for ease of explaination) were born. Baby stage is 3 days, toddler 7 and child 7 too, so they should have aged to teens four days before the 'triplets' became children. I don't know what happened, but Sophie was 3 days older than Jaydean, and it was actually her birthday 'tomorrow'. Elise was 0 days into the toddler stage, Josh 2 and Autumn 5. So, I used MC and aged them all up. I figured if I've had enough time for all the toddlers to get their skills, it must have been long enough. I'm not counting this as cheating because it was a game error.

So! I now can present you with all the children, their traits, and their aged-up bedrooms. Sorry for all the rambling, please feel free to ask questions if some of that didn't make sense.

Bookworm, brave, friendly, computer-whiz

Sophie Mattell. She does still have wings, but they disappeared with my awful graphics. Winter was very excited about this one...

Genius, good sense of humour, friendly, never nude

 Jaydean Mattell. You can now see that the twins aren't 100% identical, and look pretty much nothing like their mother (or their father, for that matter...)

Their room. Basically the same but decluttered and they got a nice full-sized mirror for all those teenage preening moments.

Absent-minded, good, friendly

Josh Farrah (No, not Joshua, just Josh.). He is by FAR the cutest kid <3 I can't work out whos features are whos, but I think the nose is Shae's, and the hair is definately Alex's. Purple tips? *shrugs*

Josh has a teeny-weeny room. 3x3 on the build/buy grid. Under the camera he has an ant farm. I'm yet to see if those are functional. Anyone know?

Couch potato, loves the outdoors, excitable

Elise McQueen. She's been knocked off the 'cutest' spot by Josh, but she's still a cutie.

Her room is really plain right now. The twins gave her the dolls house, because they don't want it anymore. I'm not sure what it's missing... I'll probably add some clutter and posters. Maybe some curtains as those windows look massive in this room for some reason.

Clumsy, grumpy. virtuoso

And finally, the heir to generation 5's throne; Autumn Mattell. He decided to ruin the shot by thinking, and I forgot to get another.
Random fact: Autumn is a genie, like his daddy. He also has secret-hidden fairy powers (without the wings!!!), and can go in the fairy house, fairy prank his friends, give fairy dust etc. Please don't ask me how I got him the powers without the wings, I think it had something to do with him being born a fairy, and me changing his lifestate as an infant. I don't even know if these fairy powers will last, but if they do... Cool!

And no, I'm not counting changing Autumn's lifestate as cheating, because I am sick to death of fairy wings spamming up my screen and all the pics I try to take. Am interested to see if he'll have any fairy children, though? That would be pretty cool, and I'd have to let Twallan know I found a new feature in his 'hybrid' mod.

Autumns room is the biggest, and so he has the little play area in his. I imagine the three children sitting in the beanbag chairs having tea parties with their toys. Teddy McGenieton (not real name, I forgot what his name is) is the waiter or something. Keyboard because he's a virtuoso. And maybe he might need the skill for later in life...
I have just got a children can play piano mod, but the skeleton my stretch to fit the animation. If so, I won't creep you all out with pics, but know that he does use it.

Ok, sorry for they very long authors note... Promise next chapter we'll spend a little time with everyone and you can get to know them. Next chapter may be late as I have a busy weekend this week, so will have to do it all next weekend, but hopefully will be back on track with weekly updates soon!

Thank you for reading all that gibberish! Please ask any questions you have. I know this is all very confusing and don't want anyone feeling left behind! I don't bite, honest!

Elise's terrifying glitch...:
