Round 8 - Nixeira

The Nixeira household has been nothing but two alone brothers for the past rounds, but now things are starting to change as their older brother Germanus wife moves in. The brothers also have a sister, Augusta, working at the Palace.
Row 1: Paula Nixeira (Head of the family, sitting), Cicero Nixeira (brother of husband, sitting)
Row 2: Pompilius Nixeira (second brother of husband, sitting)
Paula just moved in to marry Germanus, who's working for the Emperor.

We start off with the small wedding ceremony, where Paula Nixitus becomes Paula Nixeira.

Germanus has done this before, with the Empress herself, but this is Paula's first time kissing and WooHooing.

The night after the wedding she discovers a pregnancy.

Cicero doesn't like his sister Augusta, which I was reminded of when she made a visit and this happened.

A thief came by to steal this single torch. Nothing strange by now, lol.

Paula's pregnancy progresses just fine anyway. I wish sims could yet used to smells, haha, the slaves are always smelly.

In the middle of the night, Paula wakes up with labor.

She has a son! She names him Seleukos.

But, she hands him over to uncle Pompilius at once...

Twins again, haha.

The second one is a baby girl, named Charmion.

Paula didn't want to come to the Baths for whatever reason, but Cicero was enjoying himself.

Back home, Germanus comes over to see his babies, and brings Empress Sabina with him.

Of course, they mess everything up... What the hell, Sabina. Not classy!

Paula has her birthday the same night.

Here she is now. Just became an adult and her marriage is already in ruins.

Or is it? I thought they would refuse making more babies, but it seems they do it happily. Well... Better than not!

Round 7 - Nixeira

The Nixeira boys spend yet another round alone. Their parents Quintus and Fulvia, their brother Germanus and their sister Augusta are away, working for the upper class.
Row 1: Cicero Nixeira (second son, sitting), Pompilius Nixeira (third son, sitting)

Most of the children in their apartment building are teenagers by now, and there are lots of different people for Cicero to hang out with.

His little brother soon joins him in the teenage.

Pompilius now! He's a family sim, the third out of Quintus and Fulvia's six children.

The boys, now a little closer to being men, still get along perfectly.

And the hanging out continues.

Their first time being able to bathe both of them.

They met their sisters Drusa and Augusta, who are both no good... Dangers to the citizens of this neighborhood...

Augusta follows them home, where she gets on her brother Cicero's nerves, and they almost have a fight. Luckily they didn't, yet, but who knows what the future holds...

Round 6 - Nixeira

Now this looks kind of sad - but I assure you, these boys aren't orphans, they are more... a little bit abandoned, maybe (hmm, that doesn't make it any less sad). Their parents, Quintus and Fulvia, are both working for Patricians, as are their older brother Germanus and little sister Augusta, and their sisters Drusa and Antonia are both getting married this round. The boys are the only ones left in this apartment.
Row 1: Cicero Nixeira (second son, sitting), Pompilius Nixeira (third son, sitting)
Fulvia and Augusta left the household in between the rounds.

The boys are very close and there's a lot of playing going on.

They give a lot of comfort to each other.

Cicero autonomously kissed his cousin Gaucia, who accepted it, but both of them looked like it was super gross, haha. Kids.

Pompilius doesn't look to excited about his brother becoming a teenager. Maybe he's worried they're not going to play anymore.

Cicero is a family sim. I guess being responsible for his little brother has shaped him.

There's still lots of time to play!

Teenagers...

Oh come on! Once again, a burglar sneaks into the slave apartment to steal nothing but their §10 torches. Doesn't even make sense.

The boys head to the Baths to take the burglary off their minds.

Cicero leaves his brother to the old ladies while he enjoys a hot bath.

And right before the round is over, their mother has time for a visit. She looks a bit different since she left but the boys would recognize her anywhere.

Round 5 - Nixeira

Welcome to the Nixeira's! They might not look like many, but there are four more members spread out in the neighborhood. The father Quintus, daughters Drusa and Antonia, and son Germanus are all working for different Patrician families.
Row 1: Augusta Nixeira (third daughter), Fulvia Nixeira (Head of the family, sitting), Pompilius Nixeira (third son)
Row 2: Cicero Nixeira (second son, sitting)
Germanus moved out in between the rounds.

The same night as we enter the apartment, the twins had their birthday. Here's Augusta, the older one.

And this is Pompilius.

They turned out to be real cuties, always huggling each other.

Cicero and Fulvia had some strange routine where they danced together a little first thing in the morning when they woke up. It was cute, though.

Lots of love in this apartment!

And then, the twins had another birthday. Hopefully the nice times will continue.

Augusta.

And Pompilius. Not much to say, haha.

Fulvia took some well earned relaxing time at the Baths. Her husband Quintus came over to try for more babies every day this round with no success, and now Fulvia is too old to have another baby. This generation, the Nixeira's had six children. Amazingly, that's record low - the previous had seven and nine.

The children still fill their surroundings with laughter and love, as they keep playing.

They all seem to like each other very much.
