Last time:
- Niko (by Poppet) opened a business, the Sunshine Pool
- Natalie did some nice makovers in her salon
- She also got pregnant, and Niko got romantically involved with Velma, the creepy townie girl :/

My ROS really likes these picnics, if I remember correctly, it was the third time when it appeared

We start with a rather frozen and very pregnant Natalie, and some burnt pancakes

Maybe a little action will warm her up :D
Fortunately, Niko's wants about Velma mostly vanished ^^

Time to visit the lovely Sunshine Pool!

Kiefer, the reporter guy looked so satisfied about entering this lot XD

Wow, I haven't expected that from you! Maybe he was a swimming champion before he became a reporter XD

Others, like Emily Sergeant had problems with the water. Well, get a swimming cap, then!

Gerald Banks was a bit reluctant about entering

Um, I'm pretty sure that's not the proper way of eating ice-cream XD

Autumn almost ended

Wow, I had no idea that you're in such a good relationship with Abigail (by

WHAT? Okay, it was time to close the business for today... :,/

Meanwhile Natalie enjoyed the solitudity of painting

And had a relaxing bubble bath

Well, that picture is totally pointless, but I love the lighting XD

Niko invited Natalie's niece, Leann Danielson over :)

OMYGOSH WHAT? NO NO NO! FRIENDZONE FRIENDZONE FRIENDZONE!!!
ACR was really naughty this day >_<
Fortunately I was quick and prevented a disaster

Natalie was happy to see Leann (and was oblivious about this little almost incident)

Leann asked for a makeover!

Yes, she deserves a cool hair! I think she likes it :D

And she was excited about her unborn cousin ^^

Later that night:
Niko: Nat, why are you screaming so loud! I can't sleep!

It's a little boy, Payton! :D

They were really short on money, so I could only put the bare necessities to his room

Which means, it's time to dig up some stuff!

Well, that's not what I wanted XD

Aww, Natalie is such a great mother (remember: one of her traits is nurturing, and it really fits her!)

In the end, Niko finally managed to dig up some maps, so I could furnish Payton's room a little bit :)

I think he likes dinos :D

Oh, and I also decorated the bathroom upstairs, that made me strangely satisfied XD


Natalie had some time to practice on Niko

And they did other things as well :D

Look at this cutie! :3

The next day, daddy took care of this little guy

Because Natalie visited her business, the Gel & Hairspray!

Emmett Masterson seems to be a returning customer :)

Oh, and maybe I forgot to mention that Natalie hired Emily to be the second hairdresser, and that was her first day!

Well, her fist makeover wasn't successful at all, poor Evelyn (by
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

And poor Davey Danielson XD

But then, she performed her first successful makeover on Jared Woods!

He even gave her a tip! Emily seemed a bit shocked about it XD

One of the Woods' family cats, Cloud was also here
Cloud: Okay human, now put me down...

And the business finally reached Rank 5, yay! Which means money!

So Niko finally could pay back his entire loan!

Pointless picture #2

And Payton's birthday arrived!


And the result is the cutest hamster ever! :3
Stats: Virgo
Traits: Family Oriented (Niko) - Black Thumb (Natalie)

And that's where the toddler spam starts, because HE'S THE MOST PRECIOUS THING!!!


Just look at his face :3



I... can't... stop

I CAN'T HANDLE THIS CUTENESS *dies*

Okay, back to business, it seems like half of the garden club was present at the pool

And Brittany Woods was also present
Also you can see the poor garden club guy in the background XD

But then he collected all his courage and jumped in!

And finally, Rank 1!

Brittany and Niko had a great time chitchatting :D

Meanwhile :3

Obligatory PT face :3

And obligatory Payton spam :33

Buddy seems happy in the background XD

I'm pretty sure that's not a toothpick, dear :3

Too bad, Natalie is too old to have another child :(

Another PT :3


Niko: Where's daddy?

Niko: Here!

*cries* He's so adorable *,_,*

Time to make that picnic! They visited the Nutcracker Playground! :D

Poor Evelyn still had that ugly makeup XD

Well, I think Payton is a bit underdressed to this weather O_o

At least the snow disappeared quickly, and another relative, Berenice Danielson appeared :D

Velma approves? Maybe?
Actually she tried to kiss Niko a few times but I always cancelled it >_<

Aww, and Berenice gave her little cousin a kiss, that's so adorable! :3

Look at this happy toddler face :33

Later, it was Natalie's birthday! I can't believe she's growing old!

So many candles

She seems a little bit concerned about her age

But Niko loves her anyways :3

And little Payton too! :3

Okay, it's time to end this round now, before I flood everyone with pictures of Payton ^^"
Oh, and the tax was 5000 simoleons
---
- Payton is seriously the most precious thing ever! I just couldn't stop making a million pictures of him! :3
- It seems like the Velma thing is mostly over, phew :)
- And Natalie is the first elder in Griffinmere! Time flies! :D
- Thank you for reading! ^^
