Round 6 - Jax

It's the plebeian families turn, and first out is the Jax family, who live in a small house, caring for their farm. After two daughters this generation they have still to have a son to carry the last name forward.
Row 1: Nthanda Jax (mother, standing), Aelianus Jax (Head of the family, sitting), Aurelia Jax (wife, sitting), Verginius Jax (brother, standing); holding: Laurentia Jax (second daughter)
Row 2: Marina Jax (heir, sitting)

Since the death of her husband last round, Nthanda is spending a lot of time with her little grandchildren.

And now, there's going to be a third one to care for.

Aurelia gives birth to hers and Aelianus third daughter, named Hadriana. Still no sons...

Not long after becoming a big sister, Laurentia has her birthday.

Here she is, a little cutie.

Early the next morning, Aurelia can confirm her fourth pregnancy!

Hadriana has her birthday.

And here she is, gorgeous hair and all.

The family's garden is producing lovely products this summer. Today, it's Verginius turn to harvest. He's the last of Aelianus siblings to still live in their childhood home.

A heavily pregnant Aurelia tries to convince her youngest daughter that life is easier on two legs.

Everyone in this household has nine or ten outgoing-points and it's just amazing how much time they spend hanging out...

You're supposed to keep that a secret, Verginius... What if your brother hears you?

It's time again!

And it's a....nother girl. I'm starting to worry about the Jax name now. Her name is Longina, by the way. At least she's a redhead like her father!

Talking did seem like fun to Hadriana, and she was very quick with figuring it out.

Even at the Baths the family spend more time socializing that actually bathing.

Well, except for these two, who decided to have some fun in one of the baths.

Among the flowers and the butterflies of the garden, Death comes for Nthanda.

She says goodbye with a flower in her face.

Aelianus is devastated now, having lost both his parents. At least they died from old age.

Marina was very sad seeing her grandmother go, but some playtime with little sister Hadriana cheered her up.

Once happy again, it's time for her birthday!

And here she is. Marina is an outgoing, active and grouchy popularity sim.
