Previously, we left Ripley pregnant and alone. In the snow.
Things do get better.

Dear Mama,

Holy crap!

So, you and Daddy are grandparents. Twice.

There's a she - named Norma - and a he - named Tucker.
They've both come up with Dad's and my colouring, but Norma has my eyes and hair, while Tucker has Yuki's.

I love them completely.

I want so badly to be good at this.

That doesn't always work out the way I want...

But I'm trying. And I'm learning so much.
How on earth did you manage to do all this for us?

They're growing so fast, Ma!
I'm sure we-all were much slower growers back in the day.

Norma's got a downcast little puckish face, and a jawline to watch.

Tucker will steal your heart. And anything else that is roughly food-like, if you leave it close enough to the floor.

I want so badly to share this stage of their life with you, but in these living circumstances photos are beyond me!
Keeping the social worker at bay is hard enough.

Thank heavens for Romero!

He's very good at caring for one while I feed/wash/change/rescue the other.

The maternity leave eventually ran out, and I hired a nanny with trepidation and headed back to the service station.
Promotion! Thank goodness. Now I've got most of the holes in the walls bricked back in.

And the birthdays roll around once more!

I'm going to have to get a shotgun or something when Norma transitions to teenhood.

And Tucker...

Tucker is still my little angel.

Mostly.

And then.

Just when I least expected it...

Something wonderful happened.

Give Daddy all my love.
Hugs,
Ripley

Notes: The twins were totally natural. My game hates me. The lack of toddler pictures is exactly what Ripley says - too much trying to keep everyone alive, not enough screenshotting, sorry! Also, since this is a reboot of this generation, I'm naming exclusively from the 2004 Dawn of the Dead reboot. It makes sense to me. Cheers!

Almost forgot, credit where credit's due - HappyEnding!Sim is Buffy's <3
