It was a lovely day to spend with family and friends.

Some of the guys decided to play horseshoes, while others got into little groups to socialize. Bruno was taking care of the drinks while Belle was manning the grill.

They were having stew for lunch, an ode to all of the times they had to eat that meal during the early days of the challenge!

"Hey, you know what would make this day even better?" Charlotte asked, sipping on her drink.

"What?" Ariel wondered.

"If we were sitting by the pool sipping on these simsmapolitans," the blonde said longingly. "Urgh, the Watcher gave me such cute swimwear too!"

Ariel nodded. "I'd love that too... But hey, if you wanna, you can go swimming in the river near here. It does the trick just fine, and there's no chlorine to ruin your hair."

"Ew," Charlotte said, shaking her head. "I don't want to get wet. I just wanna lounge in the sun!"

"Fair enough," Ariel laughed.

While the adults were busy getting drinks from the bar and catching up with each other, Sparrow was waddling up to Gael.

"Hello nooboo," she said with an excited wave.

Gael smiled shyly, looking ridiculously adorable in her hot weather outfit.

"Awww, nooboo," Sparrow cooed.

"Oh my Watcher! No way! You're pregnant!?" Snow exclaimed the moment she arrived at her friend's house.

"We just found out today!" Belle gushed.

Snow was beyond excited, jumping up and down in place. "I can't believe we're both having our second baby at the same time!"

"We'll definitely need to plan some play dates," Belle told her.

With Belle's big news out of the way, it was time for the household members to don their hot weather outfits and head outside for a big Founders' Day party!

Everyone in Henford was invited! Let's go!

"That's amazing news!" Bruno said, looking as happy as the first time Belle announced her pregnancy.

"What about you, Gael? Aren't you so excited to be a big sister?" Belle turned to her daughter with a fond smile.

Gael giggled enthusiastically. That was about as close to a "yes" as they were going to get.

"You realize this means we're gonna have two infants at once," Bruno pointed out.

"Only for a short while, then it'll be a toddler and an infant," Belle replied.

"I think that might be worse," Bruno said, although he didn't look worried at all. "But we'll make it work! I'm sure of it!"

Bruno made Belle a tasty Founders' Day breakfast with the eggs he collected from the coop.

"I have a surprise for you, too," Belle told him.

"Oh come on, you're the one that's supposed to be celebrated today!" Bruno told her with a playful grin.

Belle couldn't keep it to herself any longer. She blurted out the words, giddy with excitement. "We're gonna have another baby!"

Gael really didn't mind bath time.

She loved splashing in the water, and she even got to listen to her mother telling her stories about fairytale characters she might get to meet one day.

Plus, you know, bubbles!

Gael had some trouble keeping her bladder in check that morning.

"Oh, it's gonna be like that, is it?" Belle said with a laugh.

Gael giggled.

"I think you're gonna need a bath before the Founders' Day party later," Belle told her.

It was a beautiful morning in Henford-on-Bagley.

Bruno rose with the sun and, letting his wife sleep in, headed outside to start planting some crops for the summer season.

In his seed packets he got bell peppers, tomatoes, and a couple of chocoberry plants that were already ripe for the picking.

"Urgh, why do I feel so bad this morning?" Belle muttered to herself as she started getting out of bed, just after 4AM.

It took a split second for her to remember the first sign of pregnancy.

"Plum," she swore and quickly grabbed her belly, noticing it was a lot bigger than the night before.

Unlike last time, she chose not to wake Bruno. They had an infant now, they couldn't afford to lose out on sleep.

So she got back into bed and snuggled up against her husband, excited to reveal the news to him in the morning.

"When you wake up tomorrow Gael, it'll be Founders' Day, the first official holiday in Happily Ever After," Bruno explained to his infant daughter as he put her to bed that night. "Do you know what that means?"

Gael stared at her dad with big brown eyes, looking a little perplexed.

"It means we celebrate the plum out of your mama," he continued without skipping a beat. "She did so many cool things these last 8 years to make sure you had a wonderful future in this brand new world — her and all the other founders. It's gonna be a very special day!"

Gael yawned and closed her eyes.

"Good night, pequeña," Bruno chuckled.

Yet another one of Belle's books was off to be published.

She swelled up with pride at the notification telling her she was a notable newcomer now, although soon after she was hit with a wave of crippling anxiety.

She didn't actually want to be famous! She didn't want any attention! She just wanted to write books and let other sims enjoy the stories inside her head!

Belle was still hard at work on her fantasy novel, and quite frankly she was pretty sure it was her best work yet.

She couldn't wait for all of her friends to read it!

Having an infant that needed to take a lot of naps wasn't such a bad thing.

Sure, sometimes they resulted in her not sleeping through the night, but it also meant Bruno and Belle had some free time on their hands during the day for their respective hobbies.

For example, Bruno got to finish two paintings after dinner. No masterpieces yet, but he was getting pretty skilled. It wouldn't be long now!

My #SQOTD Answer

Oooh this is a REALLY hard one 'cause I use so much and do like to switch things up every now and then! Default skin and eyes are a must, as well as 3d eyelashes.

I guess one creator that changed the fashion world for infants and toddlers in my game is @powluna, I think most of my little ones are wearing CC from her right now.

I can't wait to see everyone else's reblogs! If you see this, I hope you answer the question yourself!

📩 Simblr question of the day: What's your MOST used pieces of CC? From skin details, to hair, to shoes, and clothes, what are they??

Bonus Simblr challenge: Make a sim with all of the aforementioned pieces of cc >:) (Completely optional :))

answer in whatever way is most comfortable for you and feel free to share this SQOTD around, make sure to use the hashtag SQOTD and tag me in separate posts ~ 💛

"I'm getting kind of hungry, what about you?" Belle said to her husband after a bit more time hanging out in the living room.

"Yeah, I could eat," Bruno shrugged. "I'll make us some fruit salad. You can spam some cute interactions with Gael for a bit."

"Thanks," Belle smiled affectionately.

Bruno headed into the kitchen and got to work, all while listening to his little family laughing in the other room.
