Chapter 9

Freya’s birthday was fast approaching

Freya: Oh good, no more of this slop then!

Jacob decided it was his duty to throw an amazing party for his little sister.

He invited everyone he knew from school, and the dress code – swimwear!

Toby: Swimwear?  Girls?  I’d better start working on these abs!

Meanwhile Dante practiced his air guitar moves ready for the crowd.

Freya: A party?  For me?  Love you Jacob!

As the guests started to arrive Bellisma was not impressed by the turnout.

Bellisima: You invited all these girls – in swimsuits!!  I thought you liked me?

Jacob: Babe, there must have been a mistake.  The invite said formal – honest!

Bellisima: Really Jacob?  It that why I saw you flirting with Isobel Jacobs?  I’m leaving!

It didn’t take Jacob long to get over Bellisima’s swift departure.

It was not long before Toby joined in the fun.

Toby: Hey Adrianne, want to see my abs?

Surprisingly she seemed quite taken with him!

Ebony had also made a friend, Adrianne Divine’s younger brother Abel.

It was time for Freya to blow out her candles.

Birthday sparkles!

Elizabeth: OMG! I’ve spawned a monster!

Ahh. That would be that annoying T-shirt CC that I can’t find to get rid of.  Don’t worry David can fix it!

He he! Just had to pop this one in of Freya trying to eat cake!

Freya: Not Funny! Dad!

David: Oh dear!  I think you need a serious makeover!

So here is Freya looking a bit more normal!  She gained the Workaholic trait.

David: you know, while I’m here….

Here is David after his make over.  Much better don’t you think?

A few days later….

David made it quite clear that Elizabeth was handling this one on her own!

And here is the last potential heir of Generation 1 – Jack.

Jack joins us with the Virtuoso and Athletic traits.

David felt a bit bad for leaving Elizabeth to face Jack’s birth alone.

David: I’m sorry about that Elizabeth, how about a makeover to make up for it?

Elizabeth: Yay! Makeover!

Well, I thought it was only fair!

So here she is all made over.  Well I like it!

Adrianne had made a big impression on Toby.  He spent hours on the phone to her.

And Ebony was spending a lot of time with Abel, they had become very close.

It was soon time for Ebony to become a teenager (I’m afraid there are going to be a lot of birthdays in chapters 9 and 10!)  So Jacob insisted on arranging the party again.

At least he went for formal this time!

He wanted this party to go with a bang so he set about inventing a few cocktails to help it along.

It didn’t go so well…

Jacob was making his way around the many ladies he had invited but had become quite taken with Rachel Hobbs

Ebony was delighted to see that Jacob had also invited Abel.

Make a wish….

Wow! I was very impressed with the way Ebony aged up.  The wardrobe needed a little TLC but otherwise beautiful!

Ebony gained the Savvy Sculptor Trait.

After David had worked his Stylist magic she looked even better.

It was about time Elizabeth worked on her Novel some more.

As David worked on her founder portrait. 

And then on Scary Bunny.  Where is its other eye!!!!

Very soon it was Jacks birthday.  This time just a few close friends were invited.

As the rest of the family partied upstairs, Ebony and Able (who had now aged up also) were having their own party in Ebony’s bedroom.

It wasn’t long before David had begun to suspect something.

Ebony: But Dad! I love him!

Abel: Yeah, like she said right.

It wasn’t long before the rest of the family followed

Elizabeth: Ebony, what this?  Cigarettes?

Elizabeth: And wine?  I thought you had more sense Ebony?

Abel: Uh, those are mine.  And the wine was my fault I brought it.

Ebony: I only had a glass mum, honest.

Elizabeth: Please just be careful kids.

The rest of the evening was spent above ground!

Oh! Nearly forgot!  Here is toddler Jack!

Again with David’s hair and eyes.

Freya had taken instantly to the pool.  When she wasn’t at school or doing her homework she was swimming.

Dante and Jack had become best of friends and spent all their time together.

It was soon birthday time again (I did warn you!) and this time Elizabeth arranged the party.

Both of Jacobs romantic interests were invited – they did not seem too keen on this!

However Freya hit it off with Cornilia Hobbs.  They became best friends instantly.

And so it was time for Freya to become a teenager and Dante to enter into childhood.

First Freya…

Another beauty!  Freya gained the Angler trait.

And then Dante…
