Chapter 8 - Oh Brother!

Firstly, an update that actually happened during Chapter 7 but I couldn't write about it because blogger decided that I couldn't type anything after the last picture. Charlie (2nd Generation Spare) has had a child, who's name I can't remember at the moment, I know its a girl though, (yay for Nraas Story Progression giving you updates on your Blood Relations!)

I'm going in a slightly different direction with this post. All my other posts have been quite bland, this one, (and the next one) will hopefully be a little more interesting. There will be the usual manadtorty update bit, and then the last section will be more "storylike" Hopefully you'll enjoy it. I would appreciate hearing what you think, (whether good or bad).

Chapter 8 - Oh Brother!

Delilah had big news for Reece, she was pregnant! Reece was understandably excited but nervous, they had only Woohoo'ed twice (this must have happened before I turned Oopsie Baby off) and he was still a little unsure of their relationship. He agreed to do the honourable thing though, and proposed to her, despite the fact that he was a little creeped out that she had exactly the same maternity wear as his mother....

Harry was awarded the key to the city, for being such a great stylist. Although he couldn't quite tell if some of the audience were there to applaud him, or protest against makeovers....

Lastly, Karyn has taken up fishing, not for money, just for sport. (now i just have to figure out what in God's name I'm going to do with all the fish she caught before I remembered I couldn't sell them....)

Meanwhile, Alex and Lester continued to see each other, Lester had told his family, and they all 100% supported his decision, Alex however hadn't told the Bartletts yet, worried about how they would react, so he and Lester spent most of their time at Lester's house.

However, things were about to come to a head, and Alex's decision would be taken out of his own hands. A week later, Reece aged up into a Young Adult, and began making plans for his and Delilah's wedding.

Reece decided to close his eyes just as this shot was taken... and now I cant take another because he has moved out.

Remembering the story of Uncle Charlie's wedding, Reece arranged an evening wedding. Soon the entire family were heading over to Twinbrook Community Swimming Pool for the ceremony. (Everyone in my family got a wish to visit the pool, so I figured it was fate)

Alex was especially looking forward to the wedding, as he had managed to persuade Reece to invite Lester, and he was hoping they could sneak off while everyone's attention was distracted by the blushing bride. To his suprise though, the moment he got out of the car, he was greeted by Lester, who immediately gave him a very long slow kiss in front of everyone!

As everyone stared at them in shock, Lester remarked cooly, "Well at least you don't have to worry about how to tell them now."
Once the suprise had died down a bit, Harry and Karyn were delighted for their son, and promised to support him in any way they could. Reece however, was less impressed. He was furious at his brother for upstaging his wedding, and told Alex exactly what he thought of him

He even went so far as to imply that his mother was a Llama! (which is pretty funny really if you think about it)

"Your mother is a Llama!" "Uhh.. she's your mother too?"

Alex was distraught that his brother had said those things to him, and rushed off home crying his eyes out. Eventually, the wedding went ahead and Reece and Delilah were married, and Reece left the Bartlett household to live with his new bride.

Next Time: More Heartbreak for Alex.

So yeah, I just pretty much destroyed Alex and Reece's relationship making that, they absolutely hate each other. So I hope you liked it ;)

Oh and the more observant among you might notice that Delilah isn't pregnant at the wedding. She gave birth to a healthy baby girl who she named Misty. (Misty? really? As in Pokemon?) Luckily, as Reece is the spare, he isn't bound by the "adoption" rule so this is all good :)

I definitely made the right decision making Alex the heir. Reece turned out looking like my Dad.... that isn't a good thing. That and the fact that he ended up getting Delilah (another stupid name) pregnant means that he would have been forced out of his inheritance anyway. (Mind you... the Heir was always going to be gay, so maybe it wouldn't have come up)
