Chopra Household: Chapter 5, Part 4
The baby shower continues, Lavina pops by and celebrates her birthday, then it's hospital time!
Tumblr media
James: I know you have most of the stuff from your first two but Alexander and I wanted to get you a little something
Rahul: Oh James, you shouldn’t have
James: Nonsense. Can’t take the money with me. I know Dina is still being territorial about the Goth capital and I thought you two, sorry you five, deserved a bit of cushioning while you’ll be on family leave
Cassandra: Come inside, I’ve missed you lot
Charlie: Thanks for letting us bring Clover
Cassandra: We have so many animals here, what’s an extra good dog
Tumblr media
Cassandra: I don’t understand why everything is so much more swollen this time
Devin: This is why you don’t get pregnant, right Charlie?
Charlie: Amen to that
Luna: I got quite big with the boys but luckily it seems to disappear pretty quickly after birth
Charlie: Yeah you are not changing my mind Luna
Devin: What are you making
Rahul: It’s meant to be cereal marshmallow squares but I think something went wrong
Devin: This is why I cook and Luna handles the baking. Anyway, do you two have some name ideas
Tumblr media
Savannah notices Milton is feeling sad. She goes over and sits near him.
Savannah: Milton, I sorry
Milton: Huh
Savannah: I sorry I ask for password
Milton: Oh, no it’s fine Savannah, I’m not upset about that
Savannah: Uncle want some funny faces
Milton: It couldn’t hurt
Meanwhile Mercedes has again conned Alexander in to roughhouse play. She can’t do it with Cassandra while she’s pregnant so is getting in what she can with the visitors.
Lavina: I’m here! Sorry I’m late, traffic
Tumblr media
Milton: What are you doing
Mercedes: Dancing. I good
Milton: I bet you’re excited about the new baby huh? Even though you’re still a baby, look at those cheeks
Milton leans forward to pinch them but Mercedes is too quick. Rather than her being pinched, Milton ends up with his fingers bitten. All the adults are too busy to notice so no one gets told off.
Tumblr media
Lavina: How’s my brilliant grandbaby? Shall we practice some flashcards
Cassandra: She’s working on her numbers
Lavina: Oh how clever
Mercedes: *pouts*
Cassandra: Mercedes is getting better with her talking, she’s learning animals
Lavina: That's nice dear. Okay Savannah, what number is this
Savannah: Three!
Lavina: And this one
Savannah tries to peek around the card but Lavina tells her not to cheat.
Tumblr media
With the baby shower over the twins get sandwiches while Rahul presents his mother with a cake.
Lavina: What is this
Rahul: You didn’t think I’d forget you turning 65 did you
Lavina: *scoffs* you needn’t say it quite so loud dear
Cassandra: It’s okay Lavina, we’re all family
Savannah: CAKE
Cassandra: No honeybee, you eat your sandwich
Lavina: Guess there’s no avoiding it. Here’s to elderhood!
Tumblr media
Rahul attends to some chores while Cassandra has a much needed nap and the girls play outside.
Lavina: What are you doing in there
Savannah: Playing
Lavina: You don’t want to learn
Savannah: Play is learn-ding
Lavina: I see, okay dear, carry on
Tumblr media
Mercedes: Nana, nana
Lavina: *sighs* yes dear, what is it
Mercedes: I learn words
Lavina: You mean learned. You learned words. And if you got that sentence wrong I do wonder
Mercedes gets mad and hits Lavina
Mercedes: I do learn nana
Lavina: Go away and hit something else, I’m not talking to you if you’re going to be like that
Tumblr media
Cassandra wakes up and gets the two girls into their high chairs
Cassandra: Let’s see, how hungry are we
The girls aren’t overly hungry as they had sandwiches not long ago but Cassandra gets them milk to drink while she has dinner.
Mercedes: Mama, nana mean, she not like me
Cassandra: I’m sure she likes you
Savannah: Nana talk to me but not Mercedes
Cassandra: Really? Well I’ll talk to nana about it okay darlings, can’t have any sad faces here
Mercedes: Mama when baby here, where we
Cassandra: You’ll keep your room
Savannah: What about when baby coming
Cassandra: Oh! Okay when papa and I head to the hospital, Uncle Alexander will look after you
Mercedes: You be long
Cassandra: I hope not ladybug
Tumblr media
Rahul: Bedtime I think
Mercedes: Papa I made yuck
Rahul: *sighs* come with me then
Mercedes: Papa, why table move
Rahul: Because the baby will need it more than you and your sister, so it’s back here in the nursery
Mercedes: Baby like me and Savannah
Rahul: I hope so, but it’s hard for babies to communicate ladybug, they might not seem like they do at first
Mercedes: Papa have time for story
Rahul: Absolutely, come on
Tumblr media
Rahul reads Mercedes to sleep, Savannah took herself to the potty and climbed in bed while Mercedes was getting changed. Cassandra needs to lie down but once both girls are in bed she can’t help herself. She gets up, waddles across the house, and kisses them each goodnight.
Tumblr media
Mr Cluckton: *crows* Hear ye, hear ye, IT'S TIME
Cassandra: The coop is further away and he still manages to- AH dear watcher
Rahul: Does that mean what I think it means? Is the baby ready?
Cassandra: Yeah, I’m pretty sure they’re ready to come out
Rahul: Okay, you get to the cars and we’ll drop the girls at your brothers on the way
Hospital time!
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Where is Dr Eriksson?
Rahul: The nurse said she’s not here at the moment but don’t worry, she could still show up
Cassandra: Can you help me? My lower back is killing me
The couple move over to the exercise ball and Rahul sets about trying to massage some of Cassandra’s pain away. He’s not very successful though.
Cassandra: Rahul, for the love of the watcher, please go shave that beard, it’s stressing me out
Rahul: Right away my darling
Cassandra stands and her water breaks dramatically over the floor.
Tumblr media
Cassandra mopes sadly on the bed while Rahul is busy.
Dr E: Did someone call for a doctor
Cassandra: Thank goodness, I really need some painkillers
Dr E: No problem dear. Turn around and we’ll give you the epidural. Remember it takes a while to kick in
Cassandra: But then we can do the c-section
Dr E: Absolutely. Now if anything feels off, tell me right away
Tumblr media
?: Oh my, Mrs Chopra, can I have an autograph
Dr E: Not now dear
Rahul: Who’s this
Dr E: My husband, the other Dr Eriksson. I’m afraid he’s a fan and often has no bedside manner
Cassandra: Look, I’m really not in any state to give autographs right now
Rahul: You heard my wife. If you’re not here to help with the birth, please leave us in peace
Tumblr media
Dr E: I am so sorry about him, believe me we’ll be having words
Cassandra: I think I just need to do some breathing while the epidural gets started
Rahul: Does everything look okay Dr Eriksson
Dr E: Oh yes Mr Chopra, nothing to indicate any problems
Rahul: We’ve just noticed Cassandra has put on more weight than she did with the twins
Dr E: Pregnancies are never exactly the same. I believe you get quite a lot of milk in Mrs Chopra
Cassandra: I did last time, but it took a while
Dr E: Your body is likely getting ready in advance. Now how’s the pain
Cassandra: I think I’m ready
Dr E: Brilliant. You two know the way, I'll be there once I've scrubbed up
Tumblr media
Dr E: Remember, feeling pressure is normal but if you feel pain let me know, we can adjust the meds
Cassandra: Well big guy, here we go again
Rahul: Do you know how wonderful you are
Cassandra: I don’t but I do have this husband who tells me such things
Rahul: Looks like she’s almost there, how are you doing
Cassandra: Hanging in here
Dr E: One more cut and we can meet them
Tumblr media
Dr E: Congratulations, a healthy baby girl
Cassandra: Thank goodness, we had a bunch of girl names ready but hardly any boy options
Dr E: It looks like we will have to await the melanin awakening again unfortunately
Rahul: So long as Viola is healthy, that’s all that matters
Dr E: That’s a lovely name
Cassandra: We think so
Dr E: I’ll just close up then you three can head home
Tumblr media
Back home and it looks like Viola is keeping to tradition by inheriting Rahul’s eyes.
Mercedes: Mama papa back!
Savannah: You gone forever
Rahul: It didn’t take that long I don’t think. Now who is ready to meet their baby sister
The twins pout and look generally underwhelmed.
Cassandra: Come on over Savannah and say hi to Viola
Tumblr media
Savannah: Hi. I done mama
Cassandra: How about you Mercedes, can you say hello to Viola
Cassandra picks up the baby who starts to scream and Mercedes does not look impressed.
Mercedes: Too loud mama, we no sleep
Rahul: She’s on the other end of the house to you two. I think you’ll sleep just fine
Mercedes pouts but reluctantly greets her new sister.

Chopra Household: Chapter 5, Part 6
It's time for Viola to enter infanthood and she meets some new faces with varying results. Rahul and Cassandra work together to fit in enough time for all three kids.
Tumblr media
Rahul: Are you ready to age up little green bean?
Cassandra: Could you do it? I’m stuck pumping again
Rahul: Happy to, but what will we do with all this milk because it’s a lot
Cassandra: I have an idea actually
Sparkle, sparkle, age up!
Viola rolled the cautious trait and spawned in a green shirt, meaning green is her first favourite colour and the nickname green bean absolutely works!
Cassandra: Mama has a surprise, we have some visitors coming to see you! Aren’t you special
Tumblr media
Mercedes: I special too
Cassandra: Of course little ladybug, I didn’t mean to suggest otherwise
Raul: You and Savannah are both special to
Mercedes: HOORAY
DOORBELL
Cassandra: You made it!
Luna: We did, I can’t resist seeing infants
Devin: How are you handling this one Cass
Cassandra: We’re doing our best, aren’t we Viola
Luna: If you need babysitters just say
Devin: Lu- We talked about you doing too much
Cassandra: This one’s nana will be plenty of help in that department, don’t worry Luna
Tumblr media
Devin coos over Viola who is happy to meet her and smiles back.
Cassandra: There is something you could help me with Luna
Luna: Really
Cassandra takes back Viola and keeps talking.
Cassandra: I seem to be producing far too much milk. At least, far too much for just this one. I called the hospital and there’s a milk bank in Del Sol Valley
Devin smiles, guessing where this is going.
Cassandra: If I give you my surplus perhaps you could deliver it for me? You’re welcome to take some out for Alfred and Rilian first of course
Luna: You mean it?
Cassandra: I can’t imagine not being able to feed my baby, I want to help you and other mothers who can’t
Devin: Thank you, seriously. Come on Lu, let’s take it all before she changes her mind
Luna can’t get words out and just nods happily. Not being able to feed her boys properly contributed to her post-partum depression getting so bad. Maybe with some extra milk, some of the guilt will ease.
Tumblr media
Cassandra takes Viola to the lounge and begins some tummy time. Viola does not approve and cries herself through it. A couple of times I think she has lifted her head up but the game doesn’t agree with me. To make matters worse she’s getting incredibly tired. When one is tired stereo music seems ridiculously loud and Viola cries at the lullabies station.
Cassandra: Oh little bean, it’s okay. We’ll just say hi to nana who came over specially, then it’s night night time
Tumblr media
Lavina: Is this my third grandbaby
Cassandra: Yes. Viola, meet your nana
Lavina: Is she... okay? She's not smiling
Viola bursts into tears and fusses, trying desperately to get away from Lavina
Cassandra: I’m sorry, she does seem to be pretty cautious
Tumblr media
Lavina: You do seem good at making spirited ones
Viola continues to cry and struggle while Cassandra tries to soothe her.
Lavina: Now see here young lady, that is no way to behave. You calm down this instant
Viola stops crying and sits still, wobbling her lip
Cassandra: Maybe I should-
Viola erupts in cries again and Lavina having had ENOUGH passes her back to Cassandra
Cassandra: There there Viola, mama is here, we’ll go have a nice nap
Viola snuggles in to Cassandra's shoulder happily.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: There now, isn’t it better in our onesie
Viola: *hiccups*
Cassandra: Are you okay green bean
Viola: *hiccups and smiles*
Cassandra: I guess you just hiccup a bunch, that’s okay. Sleep well darling, I’ll put on a lullaby
In the lounge Savannah is dancing away to the stereo while Rahul works with Mercedes on her basic needs.
Rahul: What is this? How does it help
Mercedes tries to peek around the cards but Rahul is having none of it.
Rahul: No cheating little ladybug. Give me your best guess
Mercedes: It milk. It help… it help… me not be hungry?
Rahul: YES! Well done
Rahul reaches level 10 parenting and discovers he is a perfectionist…
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Dinner time
Savannah: YAY! I starving
Rahul: That’s not quite true
Cassandra: Here you are Mercedes, eat up. Did you have time to speak to your mum big guy
Rahul: Briefly. She muttered something about coddling infants and left
Mercedes draws herself into position, and once again the plate goes flying!
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Oh my watcher, again???
Rahul: MERCEDES!
Mercedes: *squeaks*
Savannah: Bad to make food fly, food is yum
Mercedes: *smiles* Food not fly, food FALL
Savannah bursts in to giggles while Cassandra tuts at Mercedes
Mercedes: Can I have food now
Cassandra: Ladybug you just had food right there
Rahul: You’re lucky we have an extra serving of this
Tumblr media
Savannah: Mercedes you too silly, too silly
Rahul: She’s messy
Mercedes: I FUN
Cassandra: *chuckles* clearly we’ve got work to do on manners
After dinner Rahul gets the twins to bed while Cassandra wakes Viola. She hasn’t been asleep for long but she’s used her diaper and will be hungry soon. Cassandra changes her and manages to avoid disaster.
Tumblr media
Raul: Hey Cluckton, see anything on patrol
Cluckton: *squawks* no invaders today
Rahul: I’ve just got to hang this washing, best not stand under it unless you like wet feathers
Cluckton: *clucks disapprovingly*
Rahul heads inside and finds Cassandra giving Viola dinner.
Rahul: How is she
Cassandra: She seems to have a really good appetite, just like Savannah
Raul: Ah but will she eat more baby food than Savannah did
Cassandra: Let’s wait until she can sit and has teeth huh
Tumblr media
Cassandra: I just have to go tuck your sisters in bed, then we’ll give you a proper sleep green bean
Viola pouts as soon as Cassandra lays her down but I can’t guarantee she would stay in a back carrier while Cassandra puts the twins to bed so this is where we are.
Cassandra: Come on darlings, bed time
Savannah: Yes mama
Mercedes: Story mama
Cassandra: I think you’re too tired for a story little ladybug
Mercedes: No I *yawns* not
Cassandra tucks in Savannah and by the time she goes over to Mercedes the younger twin has fallen asleep.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Mama is back, let’s get you to bed
Viola smiles to Cassandra as she is carried across the house. Once she’s placed in the crib Cassandra starts up a lullaby and needs another pumping session. Rahul comes in to kiss Viola goodnight after seeing the twins.
Rahul: I think I’ll take tomorrow off work as well
Cassandra: Your boss seems pretty understanding
Rahul: Now that’s taken care of, and so are your breasts…
Cassandra: What big guy?
Rahul: All our children are asleep, we could get up to some adult fun
Cassandra: Perfect. But we need to go back to using protection for now, I don’t want the next one leaving me heavily pregnant between rotations
Tumblr media
The two have a good time but a few hours later Cassandra is woken up by her milk supply again.
Cassandra: Pretty sure I could open my own milk bank
Rahul: *laughs* Hey, you focus on that and I’ll do Viola
Cassandra: You sure
Rahul: I know where we keep the milk supply. You do what you need then get some sleep so you can enjoy tomorrow. It’s meant to be sunny
Rahul leaves Cassandra to pump and goes to wake Viola. It may seem bizarre to wake her up but it’s time for her next feeding whether she is asleep or not.
Rahul: *softly* Viola, green bean, time for some milk
Viola scrunches her face, stretches out, then curls back up
Rahul: Come on Viola
Tumblr media
Rahul chuckles and scoops Viola out of her crib. She seems to wake up at the smell of her bottle and greedily guzzles it down. Afterwards Rahul burps her and takes her to the changing table. She has used her diaper so it’s best changed before she gets uncomfortable. Rahul is getting into the swing of it when-
PEE EVERYWHERE
Rahul: Oh heavens, it’s been a minute since that happened. Why do I want kids again
Viola looks at him quizzically
Rahul: Because you’re adorable Viola, that’s why
When Viola is tidy Rahul moves her down to the playmat.
Tumblr media
Rahul: Okay green bean, lets do some tummy time. Mama told me you were working on lifting your head, how about it
As normal being an infant is difficult and Viola panics at having to do tummy time. Rahul feels terrible as she wails but tries to stay encouraging. Eventually Viola fully pushes her head up, and the milestone is met!
Rahul settles Viola back in bed and starts a lullaby for her. Then he goes and washes his arms thoroughly before going back to sleep.
Tumblr media
Cluckton: *crows* Hear ye, hear ye, a new dawn
Feathers: *clucks* Quiet dear, you’ll wake the tiny one
Cluckton: *crows* Don’t worry, tiny ones sleep through anything
In the nursery however, Viola has been woken up. She panics as she is still very tired. Through tears she does her best to try go night night by herself. After a while she calms down and manages to head off to sleep.
Tumblr media
The sun is beautifully bright today and Rahul and Cassandra are keen to get out and amongst their animals, plants and the fresh air. Rahul folds up the washing he did yesterday while Cassandra makes sure everyone has enough to eat. Then she goes to milk Turtle which Cluckton seems to approve of?
Tumblr media
Rahul looks after Viola when she wakes up and tests out his new back carrier. It has a hood which will hopefully stop Vola getting sunburnt today.
Rahul: You are just going to love outside green bean, it’s amazing
The twins are also excited to get out and enjoy the unusual winter sunshine.
Mercedes: What you doing mama
Cassandra: It’s called yoga
Savannah: What *stumbles* What yoga mama
Cassandra: It’s a kind of exercise to help me stay healthy. I can bend in to cool shapes like this!
Tumblr media
Savannah: You see Viola
Mercedes: She with papa. She look… cute
Savannah: We cute but yes, she look cute to
Mercedes: You think we need glasses like Viola and mama and nana
Savannah: Maybe, not today
Mercedes: Hello chickens, I missed you
Savannah: How am I Turtle? I fast like you yet

Chopra Household: Chapter 5, Part 5
The baby is here and the household has to adjust whether they like it (Cassandra and Rahul) or not (Savannah and Mercedes).
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Go have some breakfast girls
Mercedes: But-
Cassandra: I’ll come when I can but I have to look after Viola for a bit
Savannah: Come Mercedes, we plan
Cassandra: Plan what
Savannah: I said play mama
Cassandra brushes off the tongue slip and settles down to pump. Her milk supply is back and she’ll have her work cut out for her avoiding mastitis this time.
Tumblr media
Mercedes: How we plan
Savannah: You keep mama busy, I loud scare Viola
Mercedes: Will work
Savannah: Yes, go to plan
Rahul: What plan is that honeybee?
Twins: *freaked out faces*
Mercedes: We be heard
Rahul: Now girls mama and papa are tired after being at the hospital. I need to take care of outside while mama takes care of Viola. You two think you can occupy yourselves today
Tumblr media
The girls nod quietly so Rahul heads outside to check on the livestock. The poor chickens need their morning feeding.
Mercedes: Food go fly, food go fly
Savannah: Waste food is silly, food nice
Mercedes: I like play. You think papa heard
Savannah: Not plan. He be mad if heard
Mercedes: I be cute self and-
Savannah: I bang bang on toy. V be scared off
Viola however looks perfectly happy in her new green onesie
Tumblr media
Mercedes: Mama, you have time for me
Cassandra: Of course I have time for you little ladybug, I’ll just grab breakfast
Mercedes: This my best toy, very poor tant
Cassandra: Let me come and see!
Mercedes: It make noise, hear hear
Cassandra: Very nice Mercedes, is that what makes it important
Mercedes: My love make poor tant. You love make me poor tant
Cassandra: That's very sweet Mercedes
Tumblr media
Meanwhile…
Savannah wobbles and almost falls on her face in the nursery.
Savannah: That close
Viola: *gurgles*
Savannah: Do you like music V? I hope not
Viola: *gurgles*
Savannah sits down and begins her task, thumping away loudly on the xylophone! Unfortunately for her Viola doesn’t react to this and after a while Savannah gets bored and starts to practice some tunes.
Tumblr media
Outside Rahul finishes with the chickens, and the weeds, and begins to care for Turtle and Seven. They have better relationships with Cassandra but neither fight Rahul.
Mercedes: Savannah! I do job, you do
Savannah: V be tricky, she not care about my music
Mercedes: You must play too good
Savannah: I play loud, promise
Mercedes: We need new plan
Savannah: Let me think, V not win
Tumblr media
Cassandra goes to check on Viola who is indeed doing fine. Since she doesn’t require care Cassandra figures she can help Rahul by doing the twins baths.
Cassandra: Who wants bubbles
Mercedes: Mama Savannah nap
Cassandra: Did she get too tired
Mercedes: Yes but I have bubbles mama
Cassandra: Here we go
Tumblr media
Rahul: I see you there Binky
Binky: *twitches nose* do you have offering
Rahul: I’ll give you a gift in just a second, don’t go anywhere okay
Binky hops around the yard while Rahul finishes harvesting for today. When he’s finished he pops inside and grabs one of the older eggs to give to Binky. The rabbit approves and gives Rahul some apple jam in return.
Tumblr media
It’s only been six hours but Cassandra feels like she has to pump again. She perches on Savannah’s bed while Mercedes babbles about her dolls. When Savannah wakes up she gets a bath before requesting to be carried to the nursery.
Savannah: Mama help with shape
Cassandra: You want some block help honeybee
Savannah: Yes
Cassandra: I suppose Viola is napping, we just have to keep quiet
Savannah sits down and begins going over shapes with Cassandra. Every so often she drops blocks loudly on each other but Viola sleeps through.
Tumblr media
Rahul dishes up some cottage pie and Cassandra is getting the twins seated when Viola wakes up shrieking.
Savannah: V bad, she cry loud
Cassandra: She’s a baby honeybee, it’s tough being a baby
Rahul: Can I feed her? Please please please
Cassandra: *giggles* There’s plenty of milk in the fridge
Mercedes: Why mama laugh
Cassandra: Papa was being cute, that’s all
Mercedes: I cute
Savannah: Me to
Tumblr media
Savannah: Why V have milk
Cassandra: She doesn’t have teeth yet. Now Mercedes, what do we do with our food
Mercedes: *sighs* eat, not make food fly
Cassandra: Good girl. Let’s get tucked in
Rahul: Well hello Viola, papa missed you when I was outside all day
Viola: *cries*
Rahul: There there, how about we try… a new diaper. Doesn’t that feel better? And what about some milk huh? I heated it up just for you
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Can you two say Viola? Little ladybug? Honeybee?
Mercedes: Fly olaf *laughs*
Cassandra: Viola
Savannah: V old ga *laughs*
Cassandra sighs and breaks the name down for the two girls. After some work they manage it. Now they can say Viola properly when they make plans to remain the top kids in the house!
Tumblr media
With Viola settled, Rahul and Cassandra both help the girls try to potty. Mixed results as Mercedes has a little accident. Then it’s off to bed, no time for stories tonight, Rahul is exhausted. As for Cassandra, it’s been 5 hours and she needs to pump again already. This may be a tricky thing to juggle.
Tumblr media
Before heading to bed Cassandra says goodnight to Turtle and Seven. She apologises for not being outside much today and promises she’ll try tend to them tomorrow. Both seem content to snuggle.
Rahul: You’re here
Cassandra: Go back to sleep big guy, you were exhausted
Rahul: I’m not the one that went through labour
Cassandra: Does it count if it was a c-section
Rahul: Umm, I’m too tired to figure that out.
A few hours later…
Viola: *shrieks*
Rahul: Must be my turn
Cassandra: No, I think I need to pump again
Rahul: Already
Cassandra: It seemed okay with the twins but Viola really does not need this much
Tumblr media
Cassandra peeks in to tell Viola she’s just heating up the milk then heads to the kitchen to sort it.
Cassandra: Here’s some milk I prepared earlier. You know mama has to pump, if you wanted to dirty your diaper at this time, it would be most convenient
Viola simply guzzles her milk and gurgles away while Cassandra sorts out her breasts. I left the right one too long and it leaked, whoops. Before going back to sleep Cassandra makes sure Viola is smiling even if she doesn’t want to use her diaper right now.
Tumblr media
In the morning I make sure Cassandra wakes up before her breasts misbehave. Rahul makes the family French toast for breakfast and after Cassandra has fed Viola he goes and talks to her. During his cooing and rocking she uses her diaper and he is able to change it before heading to the garden.
Tumblr media
Savannah: We take all mama time, Viola get no time
Mercedes: YES! Like plan Savannah
Savannah: You do as plan
Mercedes: Yuck is done
Cassandra: Good morning my darlings! Look at this wonderful breakfast papa made
Mercedes: Mama I have problem
Cassandra: Oh no, what’s wrong ladybug
Mercedes: I got yuck in pants. Savannah got yuck in pants to
Casandra: *sighs* really? Well I guess breakfast can wait, who should we change first
Savannah: Me older, I go first
Tumblr media
Cassandra carries Savannah to the changing table while Mercedes goes over to Viola
Mercedes: *whispers* We win mama and papa, not Viola
Viola: *gurgles happily*
Cassandra: Okay now your turn Mer- what are you doing
Mercedes: Rock in chair
Savannah: *giggles* Rocking chair!
Mercedes: I said
Cassandra: Very clever, come on, we need to get you clean so mama can go look after Turtle and Seven
Tumblr media
Outside the scores of crops have dwindled leaving the strongest aubergine in each one. Rahul has plenty of fertiliser on hand and doses them before beginning to harvest the plants. He’s using some of his family leave today so he can do what he likes. Cassandra meanwhile carries her breakfast outside to feed the chickens. She can’t collect eggs while eating though so takes some time to chat with the animals.
Tumblr media
Savannah: Mama spend time with us, we win
Mercedes: I said
Savannah: Viola not do much. She gurgle and cry and sleep
Mercedes: She boring. Not like us
Savannah: I glad you my sister
Mercedes: I said!
Savannah: How big Viola get, we still be best sisters
Mercedes: YES! We best

Chopra Household: Chapter 5, Part 3
Mercedes practices her words, the household gets some new additions, Cassandra and Rahul get excited about the impending Chopra and the baby shower starts.
Tumblr media
Inside, after much insistence by the twins, all the girls in the house practice potty together. Neither twin has reached level 3 yet but they’ve got plenty of time. Outside Rahul begins to plant some aubergine on his crop spots. Luckily weeks of cleaning the chicken coop has left him with lots of fertiliser he can use. All the crops get dusted with super vitality fertiliser today.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: What flash cards do you want Mercedes
Mercedes: Nan amils
Cassandra: Animals it is. Okay little lady, what is this one
Mercedes: Bwear
Cassandra: Bear. B B Bear
Mercedes: Not bwear, bear *giggles*
Cassandra: Very good. How about this one
Mercedes: Belly wish
Cassandra: Close. Jellyfish
Mercedes: *quietly* jelly-fish, jelly-fish
Cassandra: What about-
Mercedes: I know! It turtle mama!
Cassandra: Yes it is! Well done
Tumblr media
Here we have the newest household additions. Mini goat Turtle and mini sheep Seven. Yes, I let the toddlers name the animals, again (or maybe it was my childish brain, I’ll never tell!)
Tumblr media
Inside Savannah and Mercedes take some time to have fun together. They both agree that a new baby is unnecessary since they exist. They’re going to try ignore it and hope it goes away. Mercedes suggested yelling at it but Savannah said that would just get them in trouble with their parents. Mercedes may still try yelling, only time will tell.
Tumblr media
Cassandra needs some time outside so practices her guitar while Rahul sets things up for the new household members. Unfortunately something spooks Seven, not too sure if it was the guitar or the flock of chickens. Cassandra stops and takes some time to calm down and comfort Seven, just in case it was her.
Tumblr media
Brilliant news! I hadn’t seen Binky or Boo, just a new wild rabbit. I thought, gosh darn it they passed on. I was WRONG! Here is Binky, alive and well in the garden. Also, she’s still apparently a young adult? I don’t know how rabbit aging works. Rahul pets her in delight for me.
Tumblr media
Dinner goes much better with both parents. Cassandra has the night off and both girls happily chatter to her and Rahul between mouthfuls. Mercedes eats everything off her plate without tossing it on the floor! Savannah of course would never waste food. While Rahul clears Mercedes even blows Cassandra a kiss.
Tumblr media
Before bed both twins get bubble baths. It’s the baby shower tomorrow so there won’t be any time in the morning.
Savannah: Watch out mama. I make wave go high
Cassandra: Very high indeed. How high can we get those arms
Savannah: All way up mama
Mercedes: Papa, you like bubbles
Rahul: I do like bubbles
Mercedes: You want share
Rahul: No thank you little ladybug
Mercedes: To late *splashes*
Rahul: Oh no, you’re much too fast for me
Mercedes: *giggles*
Tumblr media
Savannah: Mama, can I has help with potty, I not want to be yuck
Cassandra: Of course you can. Oh, that was a kick
Savannah: I didn’t
Cassandra: I know honeybee. I mean the baby kicked me
Savannah: How
Cassandra: From the inside
Savannah doesn't understand but really doesn't care enough about the baby to ask any more questions. Potty time is successful and no messes are made.
Tumblr media
Cassandra is exhausted after working on growing a human all day so Rahul tells her to head to bed and he can put the girls to sleep. Mercedes, book loving toddler that she is, requests a story. Savannah however is happy enough to be tucked in without a story.
Tumblr media
In the middle of the night Rahul wakes up and wonders where Cassandra is. After checking the bathroom he goes and finds her in the hall from the kitchen.
Rahul: Everything okay my darling
Cassandra: I was hungry and craving some fruit
Rahul: Shall we go back to bed
Cassandra: Actually big guy, I was worried. We didn’t have a lot of time together yesterday with me working with the girls. Maybe…
Rahul: What is it
Cassandra: It probably sounds stupid but I was wondering if we could read to the baby. I want it to know your voice
Rahul: That’s not stupid, I’d love to
Tumblr media
2am, Cassandra and Rahul are awake and taking some time to be together.
Rahul: Is the book meant to look upside down
Cassandra: Luna said some books are like this
Rahul: Perhaps it’s a way to fight against pregnancy brain
Cassandra: Hey, I don’t have pregnancy brain
Rahul: Well I do
Cassandra: For someone who dislikes comedy, you do make me smile
Rahul: You make me smile my darling. Now what happens after the pink dinosaur
Tumblr media
Mr Cluckton: *crows* Hear ye, hear ye. A new dawn is upon us
Mrs Feathers: *clucks* It does keep happening
Mr Cluckton: *clucks* My keen guard chicken senses tell me the watcher has rearranged the yard. Be vigilant everyone!
Tumblr media
Cassandra is too hungry to wait for breakfast so she has some leftovers while Rahul cooks some eggs for him and the twins
Rahul: What are you doing
Cassandra: Washing up
Rahul: You should leave that for me
Cassandra: You’re busy to, and we need to be ready for the baby shower
Rahul: You can barely access the sink over the bump
Cassandra: It does feel like I’m much bigger than when I had the twins. Maybe it’s a second pregnancy thing. I wish I could do my yoga, my back is so stiff
Tumblr media
Rahul: I can help with that
Cassandra: But big guy, the eggs-
Rahul: Will be fine, now turn around. How’s that
Cassandra: A bit lower, yeah that’s perfect
Rahul: How is our baby doing this morning
Cassandra: Pretty active, do you want to say hi
Rahul: Of course I do. Hi little one, it’s papa here, I love you so much already
Tumblr media
Rahul: And don’t you worry about your big sisters, we’ll keep you happy
Cassandra: I hope so
Rahul rests his cheek on Cassandra’s belly, feeling the baby kicks against his face.
Rahul: Forget athlete, I think this one might have inherited your sense of rhythm
Cassandra heads off to shower and Rahul returns to the eggs, which did indeed survive being ignored, the pros of sim cooking.
Tumblr media
Cassandra collects the days eggs and is cleaning the coop when Seven bounces over to see what is happening. After she feeds the chickens Cassandra cleans up Seven.
Cassandra: We’re having visitors today, must look our best huh
Seven: *bleats* Clean is good
Cassandra: Have you seen Turtle? Turtle! Where are you? We need to clean you to
Tumblr media
While Cassandra waits for turtle to appear she treats Seven to some milk. We have plenty of prairie grass but Cassandra wants to bond. She then shears off some wool to keep Seven looking sleek.
Cassandra: There you are Turtle. We really must adjust the gate locks, can’t have you wandering off. Who knows if foxes would try to get you
Cassandra cleans Turtle up and milks her to get rid of the pressure
Cassandra: I bet that feels better huh? I always feel better after pumping
Tumblr media
Baby shower time and the weather is perfect! Unfortunately I added some gates to change where the chickens could get to and there seems to be a problem with sim visitors entering the property.
Savannah: Welcome all to our home
Mercedes: We glad you here to cel- sally
Savannah: Celebrate!
Mercedes: Even Milton *giggles*
Milton is not amused by this joke.
Tumblr media
Mercedes: Uncle! Uncle! Play!
Alexander: Okay but go easy on me Mercedes
Devin: She’s running riot over you
Alexander: She’s just an enthusiastic play wrestler
Milton: Savannah, let me in
Savannah: What the password
Milton: Huh
Savannah: Not it
Milton: Look, the dog got let in
Savannah: Dog knew password
Milton: Dogs can’t speak
Savannah: Not it
Milton: *sighs in frustration*

Chopra Household: Chapter 5, Part 1
Back to Henford-on-Bagley we go. In this part the family learns of a change with mixed reactions.
Tumblr media
3am changeover goes smoothly enough. The girls snuggle in their beds, the chickens head to their coop and Cassandra and Rahul try for a baby again. Then Rahul sets the vacuum to get the dust bunnies that have taken over the empty nursery and spare room.
Tumblr media
Cluckton: *crows* Here ye, here ye. It is 5:20 am, time to awaken
Mrs Feathers: *clucks* yes dear, we know
Cassandra: How do we still hear him when the coop is over a room away
Rahul: He’s an expert, that’s all
Cassandra: I guess we better get up and ready, the girls will be up soon enough
Rahul has a quick shower and sets about shaving off the villain beard while Cassandra does her normal morning pregnancy test
Tumblr media
Cassandra: I’m so glad you don’t ever want to keep that beard
Rahul: You and me both, I suit a goatee but not a massive goatee you know
Cassandra: *shrieks*
Rahul: Oh damn, I think I cut my cheek, you made me jump Cass
Casandra: Ah… sorry… thought I saw a… spider
Rahul: Remember, they’re more afraid of us than we are of them
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Wait, before we wake the girls-
Rahul: You okay?
Cassandra: We are better than okay. We’re pregnant again big guy!
Rahul: That’s why you shrieked? I should have figured, you've never been afraid of spiders
Cassandra: I am so sorry about your face
Rahul: Oh don’t be, you can’t see the damage. My darling, I’m so happy
Tumblr media
Cassandra: My boobs have swollen up already
Rahul: The beauty of science. I feel silly not noticing
Cassandra: Overalls hide many things big guy
Rahul: We’re having another one! Or... maybe they’re twins again?
Cassandra: We’ll get an ultrasound before I head to work. But, I was wondering, could we keep the sex a surprise this time? It was nice to know the first time but-
Rahul: Whatever you wish. Your body, your rules, remember
Cassandra: We’ll need to tell the girls
Rahul: They’ll be thrilled, just like me
Tumblr media
Rahul: Good morning little ladybug. It’s pie for breakfast. Can you say pie
Mercedes: Eye eye
Cassandra: Now tuck your legs in honeybee, we don’t want any accidents
Savannah: Yes mama. Can I has big bit
Cassandra: Of course honey
The twins begin to eat as Rahul and Cassandra sit. Rather than come right out with the news Cassandra tries to warm them up to the idea first.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Mercedes, how would you feel about another little sim around here
Mercedes: No. Savannah here. Full is us
Cassandra: Are you-
Mercedes: Fly eye fly *pushes plate off high chair*
Rahul: MERCEDES!
Mercedes: *giggles*
Savannah: 🎵I love food, food love me🎶
Tumblr media
Rahul: Why did you do that
Mercedes: *giggles* Eye go fly papa
Rahul: No! Now your breakfast is on the floor. You can’t waste food like that
Mercedes: I have fun
Rahul: Do NOT do that again. We do NOT make big mess for papa and mama! That’s bad
Mercedes turns to Cassandra blubbering and pouting
Mercedes: Mama I- I bad? I no wan bee bee bad. Big mess bad *cries*
Cassandra: *sighs* You need to learn to eat at feeding times ladybug. When your papa gives you food, you need to eat it, not toss it away
Tumblr media
Cassandra: How about you Savannah? Would you like a new little sim
Mercedes: Mama, papa, mama, I HUNGRY
Rahul: The rest of us are eating Mercedes. You’ll need to wait until I go into the kitchen next
Cassandra: If you’re hungry, you should have eaten the breakfast papa gave you
Mercedes: No pear! No pear!
Cassandra: Savannah?
Savannah: *chews* I eating mama, I busy
Cassandra: So you don’t mind either way
Savannah: I not want baby. I happy with twin
Mercedes: Why cask us mama
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Well, your papa and I have been working hard. Soon we’re going to have a new baby. You’re going to be big sisters
Mercedes: I- no want! I NO WANT mama
Cassandra: We can’t exactly return a growing baby ladybug
Savannah: I now big sister. I NOT want baby
Rahul: Girls, it’ll be great. We can be a bigger family
Mercedes: I NO WANT *fusses*
Savannah: I NO WANT TO
Rahul: Girls, that’s enough! Do not yell at your mama like that. We’re having another baby, whether you want it or not
Both girls grumble to themselves while a still happy Cassandra eats. She understands, she didn’t want Alexander before he was born either.
Tumblr media
Cassandra takes Savannah off while Rahul makes sure Mercedes eats her cereal. When he lets her out to clean up she follows him, still grumpy
Mercedes: Papa! Want baby WHY! I here, Savannah here, we no feed BABY
Rahul: You mean need, not feed, ladybug. We will feed the baby
Mercedes yells, lets loose and kicks away at his shin!
Rahul: GAH! Mercedes!
Mercedes: No feed baby! Have me! I no WANT
Tumblr media
Savannah: You want baby mama
Cassandra: I do, so does your papa
Savannah: Why
Cassandra: Well, we both want a big family
Savannah: *whispers* I not want baby
Cassandra: Oh honeybee, just wait. When they’re here and you get to know them you might feel differently. Just give them a chance huh. You’re already a great sister to Mercedes, I’m sure you’ll be good with the baby
Savannah: Mama... I no want baby but, give bubbles anyway?
Cassandra: Of course you can still have bubbles, a baby won’t stop the bubbles. Here they come!
Tumblr media
Rahul: Mercedes…
Mercedes pouts angrily
Rahul: Little ladybug, we do not hit other people
Mercedes: But I MAD
Rahul: Oh I know, but we can’t hit other people just because we’re mad. When you feel too much you come hug papa or mama, okay? We’ll have ideas of things you can do that don’t hurt anyone
Mercedes: You *sniffles* you still hug
Rahul: Of course Mercedes. Papa loves you. Mama and papa will still love you when the baby comes, I promise
Tumblr media
Rahul goes out to tend the garden and check in on the chickens. We have a new rabbit visitor who accepts a flower. Mercedes finds herself alone in the dining room, unable to remember where her mama went. She doesn’t want to follow papa because it’s raining out there. Out of options poor clingy Mercedes bursts into tears. Cassandra is already on her way from finishing Savannah’s bath and does her best to calm Mercedes down.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: I’m here little ladybug
Mercedes: Mama, I was by rye self
Cassandra: Oh dear, that’s no good is it
Mercedes: *crying* No mama
Cassandra: Come up here Mercedes, let’s have a snuggle
Mercedes: I sad mama. I sad. I no want baby
Cassandra: I’m sorry to hear that you’re sad but your papa and I do want the baby, so we will have the baby
Mercedes: But… do you want me
Cassandra: Of course I want you Mercedes! I love you. How about a bubble bath? We can play with freezer bunny
Tumblr media
There’s plenty for Rahul to harvest today. The plants look threadbare with the winter weather but thanks to mod magic they still grow in all seasons. Reminder that anything toxic, or its non toxic twin, is kept behind a childproof gate. Since infants and toddlers can play in the plants I don’t want them playing by toxic stuff. I managed to catch Floofy jr mid jump. I don’t know how their lifespans will go this time. Last time the youngest chicks aged up all the way to elder and passed away while the original chickens stayed alive.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Feeling better ladybug
Mercedes: No mama. Need help
Cassandra: Help with what
Mercedes: Potty
Cassandra: Mercedes, you’re level 2, you can go by yourself, and I actually need to-
Mercedes: NO. Mama I NEED help. Mama’s help
Mercedes then starts to pout and blubber. Cassandra can’t ignore the pleas of someone she loves, despite her own urgent need to use the toilet, and begins to help Mercedes practice using the potty.
Tumblr media
Dr E: Hello again dear
Cassandra: Hey Dr Eriksson, I’m glad we were able to get a last minute appointment
Dr E: If there’s one thing that never happens on schedule, it’s babies, we try to be accommodating
Cassandra: Thank you. I’m afraid Rahul has already let himself in to your office
Dr E: We better not keep him waiting then. After you Mrs Chopra
Dr E: How are your twins doing
Rahul: You remembered
Dr E: We don’t get many sims opting for c-sections, most have it as a last resort
Cassandra: Was it okay that I chose to have one
Dr E: Absolutely. Every pregnant sim has different needs. Are we wanting a c-section for this one
Tumblr media
Cassandra: If it’s safe
Dr E: Absolutely dear
Rahul: We don’t want to know the sex this time, we’ll leave it a surprise if that’s okay
Dr E: No problem. Besides you both have heard my speech before
Cassandra: You remind all patients that our babies may not be their assigned sex, right? That they may grow into someone that doesn’t always align
Dr E: Exactly. If you’re not prepared to have a non-cis child, don’t get pregnant
Rahul: Or if parents can’t deal with non straight kids
Dr E: From your lips to the watchers ears. Ah ha, here we are
Tumblr media
Rahul: We? I mean we want lots of kids but…
Dr E: Don’t worry Mr Chopra, it’s just one this time
Cassandra: Oh there they are. Do they look okay Dr Eriksson?
Rahul: Healthy?
Dr E: Everything looks normal. I’ll get you a copy of this to keep but your child looks exactly how we like them at this stage
Cassandra: That’s our baby big guy, lucky number three
Dr E: There shouldn’t be any complications switched on but if you feel discomfort, or just want a check up, you’re always welcome to come in

Chopra Household: Chapter 5, Part 7
I have a 7th part again??? I find it hard to cut down cute young sim content, one day I'll do it.
Anyway, in this part the kids still don't get along and Viola reaches some more milestones. Cassandra returns to work which means Rahul gets to juggle all three girls.
Tumblr media
The family are spending the morning outside in the sun. Viola however can’t go too long without a nap and lets Rahul know she is ready for one.
Cassandra: I heard that from across the yard
Raul: She does have a working pair of lungs
Cassandra: Come to mama Viola, we’ll go have a nice nap
Tumblr media
Savannah and Mercedes continue to have fun waddling around the garden interacting with the animals.
Devin: Got a big enough garden
Rahul: I do my best
Devin: Is the latest batch of milk okay for pickup
Raul: Indeed. It’s all labelled. I hope your boys like it
Devi: They’ll only need a bit more, they’ll be on solid food all the time soon
Inside Cassandra takes some time to play. She hasn’t had much time for music lately but still loves it with her whole soul.
Tumblr media
Rahul heads out for some exercise before returning to start on dinner.
Rahul: What have you found
Savannah: Pan. I help papa
Rahul: Not yet honeybee
Cassandra gets the girls in their chairs while Rahul begins the crown roast.
Mercedes: And I sing to Cluck and he like
Cassandra: I’m sure he did
Savannah: I got Turtle a hug, and Seven, she very cloudy
Tumblr media
Rahul congratulates himself as Mercedes starts to eat without throwing the plate when an offensive odour wafts down the hall.
Mercedes: Viola stinky face
Cassandra: Mercedes, don’t talk about your sister like that
Savannah: But she made yuck mama
Rahul: Don’t worry, you three start eating and I’ll take care of it
He heads down the hall to find Viola who is unconcerned by her stink cloud. Rahul has caught it before it became a full diaper blowout! He carries her to the changing table where she fusses away while he does his best to clean her up.
Tumblr media
After Cassandra feeds and burps Viola she hears something. She snuggles Viola close and sure enough the infant has begun to coo at her.
Cassandra: Do you have things to say? How wonderful green bean
Viola: *coos affectionately*
Cassandra places Viola on the playmat and spends some time playing with her. Viola is following everything Cassandra does and before long she stretches out her little arm and reaches for the toys all by herself. Well done Viola!
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Papa said you’re lifting your head now Viola. Can you show mama please
Viola: *coos*
Cassandra works with Viola who shows her how she can lift her head up now. After some more work Viola decides she wants to nap and takes the initiative. She turns over to her back!
Cassandra: Did you do that all by yourself huh? What a good green bean
Viola: *coos*
Cassandra carries Viola to bed and once again plays her a lullaby. There is little need however as it is revealed that Viola is a self soother. Nothing in her mouth for now but we’ll be keeping an eye out.
Tumblr media
Cluckton: *crows* Hear ye, hear ye. It’s the last day of rotation so get your screentime in
Squidge: *squawks* sure dad
Cassandra: How is she this morning? We were up pretty late last night
Rahul: She seems fine, and no pee on me yet
Cassandra: *laughs* okay Viola, are you ready for some excitement
Rahul: You mean… a bubble bath!
Cassandra: Yes how does that sound green bean, a nice bubble bath
Rahul: Will you be working today my darling
Cassandra: Not sure yet, I’ll see how I feel closer to shift time
Tumblr media
Casandra gives Viola her first bubble bath which is full of adorable moments. She then sets Viola down and talks to her while she has breakfast. Viola sticks her fingers in her mouth and I get a screenshot!
Cassandra: Binky? Is that you? I’ve not seen you in forever
Binky: *wiggles nose* got an offering
Cassandra: Um, I don’t know what I have on me to give you. Oh, I have some wool from Seven! Would you like it? Probably not
Binky: *sits up in delights* Silly human, wool is my favourite gift
Cassandra: Oh you actually do like it? Fabulous
Tumblr media
For unknown reasons no plants spawned harvestables today so Rahul finds himself free earlier than normal.
Mercedes makes a beeline ladybug line for her papa before he can go see Viola.
Mercedes: Papa I want to play
Rahul: Good thing there’s toys out here little ladybug
Mercedes: No, need PAPA help. Want to go fly high
Cassandra practices her guitar while livestreaming to keep her fame up. Mrs Feathers is a great audience until Cassandra heads off to work.
Tumblr media
Rahul: Come on Viola, time to wake up
Viola: *yawns*
Rahul: Wake up green bean it’s bottle time
Of course Viola doesn’t understand all words yet but perks up when the bottle in front of her comes in to focus. Rahul has a hard time stopping her from going to fast and getting all full up with gas.
Rahul: Lets get rid of some of those bubbles huh
Viola: *burps*
Rahul: Well done
Tumblr media
Mercedes: Hi papa, can I has stereo
Rahul: Sure. What would you like to listen to Mercedes
Mercedes: Kids fun
As soon as Rahul turns on the stereo Viola is overwhelmed and begins to make a huge fuss!
Rahul: Oh it’s just some music Viola
Viola: *cries*
Rahul: Okay, lets go and change your diaper huh, away from the noise
They might leave the stereo but Viola has gotten herself worked up. The entire time Rahul changes her she wails and flails around, feeling betrayed.
Tumblr media
Rahul: Perhaps we should turn the music off
Mercedes: But PAPA- I want music
Rahul: I know but Viola seems quite upset by it
Mercedes: Am I not poor tant
Rahul: Of course you are darling. I suppose I could distract her. How about some tummy time green bean?
Sneaky Mercedes heads over to the xylophone while Rahul gets Viola on the mat and begins to thump her way through a tune as loudly as she can. Viola is not happy with any of this.
Tumblr media
Rahul: Just focus on me Viola. Can you show me a turn
Viola steadies herself, and rolls on to her back
Rahul: Well done green bean. Can-
Before Rahul completes his sentence Viola takes a deep breath and turns from her back to her tummy for the first time!
Rahul: Oh you are a superstar!
Mercedes huffs in annoyance and waddles herself to the bathroom.
Mercedes: Viola not like stereo
Savannah: Did you try make noise
Mercedes: Yes. She got milestone anyway
Tumblr media
Rahul pops Viola into the back carrier and heads to the kitchen to cook dinner. He has some batter in the fridge so decides on pancakes.
Rahul: When the bubbles are right you can pick it up and flip
Viola: *coos*
Rahul: Why thank you, it was a good toss if I say so myself
The twins have made their way into the dining area and Savannah is staring angrily at Viola.
Savannah: Papa what dinner
Rahul: Pancakes honeybee, me and Viola are cooking them now
Savannah: She not cook, she cry and poop
Rahul: You two need to give her a chance
Tumblr media
Rahul: Come grab a plate and we can talk about it, I’ll just put your sister on her playmat
Savannah: *sniffles* I not want to talk about Viola
Mercedes: Viola steal mama and papa away
Rahul: Darlings, Viola doesn’t steal me and mama
Savannah: She cry, mama go. She poop, you go
Rahul: That’s called taking care of her. We come when you cry honeybee
Mercedes: We not like Viola
Rahul: You don’t know her yet, she doesn’t even know herself yet, but mama and I love her because she’s part of our family
Tumblr media
Rahul: And see? She sleeps a lot
Savannah: I like sleep
Mercedes: Me to
Rahul: See? You have something in common
Savannah: You think she like playing
Mercedes: You think she like books
Rahul: We’ll have to wait and see. But try to make friends
As usual Savannah is the first to finish with her ravenous appetite and considers what Rahul said...
Tumblr media
Savannah: You like colour Viola
Viola:*snores*
Savannah: Why you not talk to me?
Rahul: Savannah...
Savannah: I trying! WAKE UP *cries*
Viola rolls herself over and yawns awake.
Rahul: SAVANNAH
Savannah: What papa, I TRYING
Rahul: You do not just yell at your sister to wake up! She needs sleep to grow
Viola lets out her first giggle at Savannah being told off (can't make this stuff up, it happened)
Savannah: But how I know her if she sleep
Rahul: *sighs* You cannot have things your way all the time, you need to be patient
Tumblr media
Viola then rubs salt in the wound by achieving her grab milestone! Little show off
Rahul gets the twins to bed, showing them he still has plenty of time for them. Savannah is unsure but enjoys being tucked in regardless. Mercedes manages to convince Rahul to give her a story as well, book lover that she is.
Tumblr media
Cassandra got very uncomfortable during her work shift. Apparently there was no time to express her milk so her breasts are sore and swollen. Once that situation is fixed she catches up with Rahul.
Cassandra: Everyone get to bed okay
Rahul: Mostly. Savannah and Mercedes are still being stubborn about Viola but I think they’ll give her a chance as soon as she can communicate to them in some way
Cassandra: I hope so. How was Viola
Rahul: She can now practice tummy time by herself! She’s turning like a champ
Cassandra: Shall we go... do some turning
Rahul: Absolutely my darling
Tumblr media
And so we leave the Chopra household for this rotation. New addition Viola hasn’t won over her sisters yet, but the new animals seem to get along at least. Of course being an infant Viola woke up right before I switched households and looked adorable!

Chopra Household: Chapter 5, Part 2
Cassandra heads to work leaving Rahul to get the twins fed and in bed. Of course it's hard to deal with twins on your own and few things go to plan. Alexander stops by briefly to check in, then Cassandra works with Savannah on her numbers
Tumblr media
Back home Rahul and Cassandra share a romantic kiss in the rain. Inside Savannah is sitting on Mercedes bed playing with a toy while Mercedes is in the lounge dancing. Rahul heads in to check on them and Cassandra takes the chance to license her songs for the week. I’m still annoyed she can only do one from each instrument per week. After a bit of guitar practice she heads to work.
Tumblr media
Rahul cleans out the old food from the fridge then faces the mess Mercedes made in her high chair. I do wonder how it got so messy, and what cleaner is strong enough to clean it, but it looks like Rahul found a magic one. After checking the fridge Rahul places a grocery order. We have the simple living lot challenge which means we need the exact ingredients we cook with, batters and doughs now included since Home Chef Hustle.
Tumblr media
When the groceries arrive Rahul gives his tip like always and goes back inside to find Savannah has made her way to the blocks.
Rahul: You okay there honeybee
Savannah: I prac- I practise?
Rahul: Practice, you got it right
Savannah: I practice stacks
Mercedes comes into the room sniffling away
Rahul: What’s wrong little ladybug
Mercedes: I miss mama
Rahul: Mama will be back right after work
Savannah: Mama work get money for us
Mercedes: I miss mama
Tumblr media
Mercedes: *sniffles* I want go see mama
Savannah: No, mama come back for us
Mercedes: But I by rye self
Rahul: Myself Mercedes. My- self
Mercedes: Oh. I by myself papa
Rahul: Yes! But you’re not by yourself
Savannah: I here. Papa here. Baby here
Rahul: Actually the baby is with mama
Savannah: How? Why?
Rahul: Because the baby is growing, and the baby can only grow inside mama
Tumblr media
Mercedes: What grow mean
Savannah: Get big?
Rahul: You’re right. If something grows it gets bigger. You two are growing right now
Savannah: I grow first
Mercedes: No I grow thirst
Savannah: No, I grow first
Mercedes: NO. I grow thirst
Rahul: Listen darlings, it’s dinnertime. You’re both growing, that’s what matters
Tumblr media
Rahul: Nice fresh veges, eat up Mercedes Rahul leans down and picks up Savannah to carry her to her own high chair. Mercedes takes the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the food. Once again it goes flying!
Tumblr media
Rahul: MERCEDES
Mercedes: *squeaks*
Rahul: What did we talk about today
Mercedes: Food… go fly
Rahul: No. We do NOT waste food. We do NOT make a mess for papa or mama. It’s BAD to make a mess
Mercedes: *sniffles* I big bad mess
Rahul: Look at me Mercedes. YOU are not bad
Mercedes: I… not bad? But food go fly, big bad mess
Rahul: Food flying is bad. Do not do it again Mercedes. Mess is bad. It doesn’t mean you are bad if food goes flying, you’re still learning little ladybug
Tumblr media
Savannah: I want to eat papa
Rahul: Good, here you are
Savannah begins to dig right in, she has a good appetite after all.
Rahul: Now Mercedes, what are we going to do with this food
Mercedes: Eat?
Rahul: Yes. And what will we not do
Mercedes: *sighs* fly food
Rahul: That’s right. Now eat up, veges are good for you. They’ll help you grow
Tumblr media
Dinner is almost finished when Rahul smells something foul on the air, someone soiled their diaper!
Rahul: I don’t know who needs a change but I have to clean up first
Savannah: NO! I make yuck ew
Mercedes: *giggles*
Savannah: This you fault! You not make food fly, I make potty
Mercedes is not convinced by this accusation. It would probably help if she knew what fault meant. Rahul assures Savannah he’ll just be a minute but she melts down into a full blown tantrum. It’s hard being fussy.
Tumblr media
Rahul: Change time Savannah
Savannah: NO
Rahul: but you just complained
Savannah: I made yuck ew, you let Mercedes out first
Rahul: She was closer honeybee
Savannah: NO CHANGE TIME! I mad! You smell my yuck ew
Rahul: SAVANNAH
Savannah: To cold for change time papa
Rahul: Savannah, if we don’t change your diaper you’ll get uncomfortable
Savannah: NO PAPA
Tumblr media
Despite her protests Rahul knows that leaving Savannah in a used diaper for the night is not an option. He carries her to the change table and changes her diaper while getting her in her sleepwear. She is highly betrayed by the whole exercise.
Rahul: Okay honeybee, snuggle down
Savannah: I no want papa
Rahul: I know Savannah, but sometimes we have to do things we don’t want to
Savannah: NO. I no want YOU
Rahul: Well I will want you as my daughter forever, you’re stuck with me
Savannah continues to fuss away but Rahul talks to her until she calms down and falls asleep, exhausted from her tantrums.
Tumblr media
Rahul: What are you up to little ladybug
Mercedes: I go potty by my- myself
Rahul: You did? I’m so proud of you for trying that
Mercedes snuggles close while Rahul carries her to bed
Rahul: Now can you be quiet snuggling in, Savannah’s only just fallen asleep
Mercedes: I bee good papa, I bee good. Kai it
Rahul: Have good dreams Mercedes, papa and mama love you
Tumblr media
Cassandra arrives back from work to find Alexander has come over to visit. She welcomes him in, takes off her raincoat, and shares the news.
Cassandra: Rahul and I are having another one
Alexander: I’m going to be an uncle to three? That’s amazing Cassandra
Cassandra: I wish I could tell mum
Alexander: Yeah, there’s a bunch I wish I could talk to her about. I try to be positive around Milton but..
Cassandra: You just miss her? So do I. So much
Tumblr media
Rahul: How was work
Cassandra: Don’t ask. There’s this guy called Hampton Reynolds and he was trying to undermine me all day
Rahul: Is he going to be a problem
Cassandra: Probably, but I’m pregnant, so he’s not a problem for now. How was your afternoon
Rahul: Mercedes decided to make her food fly
Cassandra: Again? Why? It makes such a mess
Alexander: As fun as your calamities are, I better head home
Cassandra: *laughs* See you at the baby shower
Rahul: Oh and Savannah told me she didn’t want me as her papa
Tumblr media
Cassandra: Oh big guy, I’m sorry. Do we know why she said that
Rahul: She didn’t make it to the potty in time and had to use her diaper. Then she blamed everyone else for making her have an accident
Cassandra: She blamed Mercedes?
Rahul: Mercedes didn’t understand so wasn’t upset by it. They’re only toddlers. I’m sure they’ll both wish us away at times
Cassandra: I didn't expect them to get so upset about the baby. They’ll have to get over it though because I’m excited
Rahul: Me to my darling, me to
Tumblr media
Rahul: How did you sleep
Cassandra: Pretty good
Rahul: And how did the baby sleep
Cassandra: *laughs* I think they did okay, come feel
Rahul: I’m so amazed that you can basically make a whole new person in there

Cassandra: Because this one won’t be our last
Rahul: I’m sure they won’t. I do plan on having many kids with you Mrs Chopra. It’s such a shame household sizes are capped at 8
Cassandra: If they weren’t we’d probably become an overpopulation crisis
Rahul: You know, the girls won’t be awake for some time yet. We could just pop back to bed-
Cassandra: Don’t be ridiculous
Rahul: Why-
Cassandra: We’ve got plenty of space right here Mr Chopra

Cassandra: Maybe this one will be an athlete
Rahul: Just so long as they inherit your good looks
Cassandra: You’re sweet
Mercedes and Savannah toddle into the room and everyone takes time to say good morning before Rahul decides to head out for a run. It’s raining but loving the outdoors, he doesn’t mind.
