Round 8 - Callius

In the Callius family, the romance sims Manlius and Herminia try their hardest (not very hard) to raise their five children.
Row 1: Manlius Callarai (Head of the family, sitting), Herminia Callius (wife, sitting), Valens Zimeca (slave, standing); holding: Porcia Callius (third daughter)
Row 2: Martialis Callius (heir, standing), Titiana Callius (daughter, sitting), Aetius Callius (second son, sitting), Aelia Callius (second daughter, sitting)

We go straight for Porcia's birthday.

Here she is, the first one to look like their mother, not father.

She's truly adorable!

There are lots of noogies going on in this household. All the children are very shy, but not very nice.

I love watching this little one.

Aelia has her birthday too.

Here she is, happy as always. She's a popularity sim.

Herminia thought it was a good idea to get serious with their slave...

Little Porcia has another birthday.

Here she is, still lovely.

Here we go again... Herminia decides to WooHoo Gordianus Callarai this time.

However, Valens catches them, and slaps Herminia.

And then he slaps Gordianus too. I've heard this is a great way to get fired...

Porcia is sloppy and playful, and therefore the first sim to make a mess in the shower room at the Bathing House and then play in it... Our future Empress, everyone!

They're both cheating on each other (Herminia more than Manlius), but they never caught one another at it and still love each other a lot.

Porcia brought her betrothed, the Emperor's heir Agapetus home. Can you believe they'll marry one day? (Let's hope I didn't jinx it now)
