Round 8 - Nixotho

This little family is a lucky one. Osanne and Fremin had to spend most of their days as toddlers all by themselves, but thanks to good Empress Sabina, their mother is back with them from the dead. Other members of this family is the father Otho Nixsana and the oldest son, Job Nixotho, who are both working for patrician families.

Agrippina was resurrected earlier this round and just returned to the household.

I didn't expect any reaction from the children when they woke up to see their mother back with them, but I was wrong.

Seeing them realize their mother was sleeping next to them made my heart melt!

Agrippina wasn't about to let her little kids out of her sight again.

However, she died pregnant, and it was soon time for another little one.

Hers and Otho's fifth child is a little boy named Bertran.

As he was being born, I noticed newly married Petronius flirt with the widow Drusa...

Otho was happy to be back for more baby-making.

Bertran had his birthday!

Here's the little kid.

But then, all the cloudy happiness was shattered, as Drusa attacked Agrippina.

And killed her. Typical...

Bye, Agrippina. There won't be a second resurrection...

Poor, poor children, all alone again. At least they had a second chance, and Bertran got to be born...

Osanne takes the responsibility over their little brother.

But she's deep in aspiration failure herself, and when no one sees, she throws frustrated tantrums.

Bertran's days as a toddler were a little bit out of control with no adult to tell him what not to do...

But he got through them!

And this is what he looks like now, as a child.

Round 7 - Nixotho

This is what the Nixotho family looked like when I began. With Agrippina already pregnant again, I expected lots of baby and toddler time. Her husband Otho lives with the Callarai family, where he works.

Last round, little Joce was killed at the Colosseum, and her twin brother Job was taken by a patrician family for work. Life as a slave is already proving tough for Agrippina...

Let's begin with saying goodbye to little Joce, who's life turned out to be very short.

Her mother is devastated. She grew up as a plebeian, where losing your firstborn children in these matters never would happen.

As I said, Agrippina is pregnant again, with her fifth child. Her husband Otho is a family sim and comes over to help.

The babies have their birthday.

Here's Osanne as a toddler.

And this is little Fremin.

Agrippina is sick and her belly grows.

Yeah, she's really sick. Sick enough to die from it... I guess some sims just aren't cut out for a life as slave. Agrippina's days since losing her status as a plebeian has been nothing but miserable.

Tell me about it Quintus...

This is familiar, isn't it? The second time a pregnant mother has left a set of toddler twins to survive alone.

I feel so sorry for them, but at least they have each other...

Stupid Drusa keeps ringing on the door to complain about the smell. How about just getting in there and helping the poor children?!

Little Fremin chasing fireflies.

They manage to get through their days as toddlers.

Osanne has her mother's eyes.

And Fremin looks more like their father.

The children don't play much with each other. Instead they entertain themselves seperately. (And apparently now Drusa suddenly has time to help them out a little, lol)

Round 6 - Nixotho

This isn't much of a family yet, since Agrippina is still expecting her first child. It's due any moment, though. Her husband Otho is working for the Callarai's.
Row 1: Agrippina Nixotho (Head of the family, sitting)

When I say any moment, I mean it! First thing to happen is this.

It's a girl! Her name is Joce.

"I'm just gonna put you here..."

Yep, it's twins! The second one is a boy, named Job.

Once the babies are taken cared of, Agrippina has her birthday into an adult.

And here she is now.

Husband Otho comes over for an attempt at another baby (not like they need one more but yeah).

Finally a father who doesn't ignore the babies just because he's not living with them. Maybe it's because he's a family sim.

They sure are fertile...

The twins have their birthday. Here's Joce.

And her brother Job.

They turn out to be extremely social, both of them. They spend all their time either huggling each other...

Or stalking their mother, taking turns asking for attention wherever she goes. Too cute!

Agrippina is back to eating desserts all day.

It's already time for the twins to have a little sibling.

The third child is a girl, named Osanne.

I told you they were fertile...

And the fourth one is a boy, called Fremin. We now have four kids in diapers in the apartment. Yay...

Job takes the initiative to most of the huggles.

A+ to Otho!

Whenever their father is visiting, the toddlers stalk him instead.

They have time for another birthday.

Here's little Joce.

And this is Job!
