Chapter 26 - Chav Jokes, Ghostly Games, and Meaningful Hints
I seriously don’t believe this. What am I, the pregnancy joke of the Gods? It’s not like I live in a council house, yet I have kids crawling out of the woodwork! Sadistic Creator knows how I’m going to tell Ab about this, he dislikes the idea of being tied down since his last relationship went sour.
And it doesn’t help my ex-husbands have started their usual fun and games of ‘Let’s Scare Noir While She’s Pregnant and Her Bladder’s on the Fritz so She’ll Wet Herself’.
Great, now I have to change again.
After a nice bath, a change of clothes, and a new hair style (I never knew how annoying untied long hair could be with morning sickness!) I wander downstairs to find Ab’s stuff had finally arrived. A bit meh, but at least his job as a Scholar makes up for it. The poker table went right away, I don’t need another money-drainer like Talin, and since I already have two cribs that went as well. Unfortunately Wolfie broke the vase, but as it was only worth a measly 200 simoleons I wasn’t that fussed about it. The kids persuaded me to keep the games console, and since that corner’s a little dark I left the lamp where it was.
Pity I can’t get rid of Justus’ freaky little teddy bear, the kids love it! I swear the thing moves all by itself, although considering the number of ghosts in this place I wouldn’t be surprised if they were possessing it…
…Please excuse me while I go poke it with a long stick.
With all this extra cash, I decided to splash out a bit. Not only did I get myself some more clothes, but I also bought the telescope Sagi wanted.
He has to fight for it though. It seems Gemini’s really started to enjoy Astronomy, and has mentioned that she wants to be an astronaut when she’s older. Either that or a Horoscope writer.
Okay, I treated myself a little. I had one of these babies imported so I could use it as a stress-release. Trust me, it’s
definitely come in handy, especially while I try and figure out what to say to Ab about this pregnancy…
…Oh well, time to bite the bullet.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like Ab’s very happy about this new addition. Of course, as the rules of every argument between lovers state, there has to be a witness. Pity they didn’t send over a nice young repairman…
…Anyway, back to our regular programming.
“You’re pregnant…Seriously, you have six kids already! Why haven’t you had your tubes tied or something?”
“Well, apart from the fact that I doubt there’s a doctor within a 100 mile radius that can actually tell the difference between a liver and a telephone and the fact that we can’t afford the 40,000 simoleons it will cost as this isn’t covered under medical insurance, I just don’t like the idea of someone operating on me like that! How about we do the quick route and let me cut your dick off instead?”
For some reason he shut up about then. Even the repairman was shocked to silence.
Well, life does go on. Ab decided to leave for a short while to clear his head, but he’s promised to send money until he figures out what to do. Until then, I have the kids to look after me and to help look after the others. Here’s Sagi teaching Aries, Gemini, and Gem’s friend Marsha how to slap dance. Meh, it keeps them occupied while I sleep and look after Taurus.
Pity all that dancing caused Sagi to oversleep the next day and miss his bus. He’s decided to look after Taurus today while I save my energy, although he’s not excused from studying to make up the grade he dropped!
Pisces has also been a great help, especially cleaning the house with Remington. For some reason, Ab makes her a little nervous, so she’s been dropping meaningful hints about how nice Remington is, and what a great husband he will make, and how hot he is. Trust me kiddo, I already know that!
Damn it Talin, what is it with you!? If you’re not trying to scare the baby out of me, you’re terrorising Pisces while she sleeps! She’s definitely your kid, so why do you pick on her all the time.
The ghost attacks have been draining on everyone. I even wandered into the bathroom for yet another bladder break to find Aries like this. So cute…
…Of course, when I bend down to carry him back to bed without waking the little angel, guess who pops up. Get lost you undead jerk!
I would like to clear up the little matter of my sanity as it has come into question. I am not in any way, shape, or form, sane. Insane? Hell yes!
People keep calling me 'evil.' I must be doing something right.
