Miranda tries watching her daughter’s favorite cartoon for a change, and this makes Gaby so excited that she doesn’t stop narrating the story to help her mom catch up with the series.

Just a cute picture.

(A happy Miranda makes the author very happy)

Ramona is recently struck with the realization that she doesn’t want to forget anyone significant in her life, and converts that irrational fear into the urge to paint portraits of her family members.

She pauses and frowns at her latest work in progress, her mother’s portrait. There’s a reason she doesn’t draw people at all, and that’s because it’s hard.

The twins will never outgrow pillow fights.

Both women have formed easy, carefree lives; not bounded to traditional careers — though Ramona isn’t even employed in the first place — they set their schedules with less restrictions as they please.

Ramona likes to make fun of her twin by singing the wrong words on purpose, or in this case, singing off-key.

She is only half-successful; Gaby may be frowning at the screen, but she refuses to let this faze her.

Chelsea and Jebidiah’s kid has aged up to a child just recently, but Miranda is here to attend Rissa’s baby brother’s birthday.

Lisa Bunch couldn’t believe that she’s seeing the well-known composer right in front of her very eyes. The woman doesn’t go out too often since her retirement, unlike her older sister who still goes out for concerts.

Rissa Ramos resembles her father mostly, but she appears to have inherited her mother’s cheekiness.

Her grandmother graces the party with her rad guitar skills.

Jebidiah spares a worried glance towards his daughter and sister-in-law, who wants to chat with her. He worries that Rissa’s aloofness towards her relatives may leave a bad impression on them, and hopes that she attempts to socialize at least.

To his genuine surprise, she responds more positively to her aunt’s attempts to talk.

“Grandma is so cool, do you think she can teach me how to play the guitar?” She’s already thinking of ways to persuade her parents to buy her one.

Ramona smirks. “I don’t think mom will mind, but I can teach you myself.”

Rissa gasps; she didn’t expect this cool mysterious lady with the oddly-colorful hair to be one of her aunts, and spends the entire party talking with her asking about her hair, her guitar-playing skills, and if she has other cool aunts (not necessarily in that order).

Here’s the birthday boy with grandma.

Miranda discovers that Brooks is really fond of tickles, and gladly indulges in giving more.

Meanwhile, Gaby has been out and about, handing out sing-o-grams all over town until she decides she can’t do more for today. Today, she goes to the park for the Spring Festival.

One of the people on the dance floor keeps glancing at her, and before Gaby could decide, he bravely walks over to where she’s dancing.

“Hey, I know you,” Gaby stares hard at the cute guy. Then it hits her, and it makes her laugh. “You’re that guy from the SimFest!”

Jayson grins back at her, almost sheepishly. “It’s the haircut isn’t it? I think the barber took off more than I told him to.”

“No, it looks great!” Gaby clears her throat, and tries to sound not too excited. “I think it suits you.”

Jayson has already planned it out in his head to let Gaby know that he couldn’t leave a cute gal like her dancing alone, but instead he stutters, and she laughs before grabbing his hands gently.

“Is this a date?” Gaby wonders as the other dancers slowly leave the floor to visit other festivities in the lot.

“It could be? If you want it to be?”

Gaby giggles. She laughs more when she’s nervous. “Maybe you could ask me out on a real date for next time.”

And so he did, and he waits for her to get into a cab, and he makes sure that she gets home safely, before he literally skips in joy on the way back to his own house.

Jayson and Gaby become a regular thing, and this time he’s sure that she gets home safely because he’s with her this time. They meet at the park after Gaby finishes with her sing-o-grams, or when Jayson finishes his gig early.

As they sit out on the balcony and pretend to look at the stars, Gaby thinks about her older siblings who got married to their lovers as soon as they graduate. It’s a weird comparison, because she finds she’s not in a rush to settle at all.

She hopes that Jayson feels the same way, but with the way that things were happening very slowly, Gaby can safely assume that he does.

He does feel lucky to have met her, and Jayson hopes that that feeling shows through this kiss.

Gaby has other ways to show that she appreciates his company.

The whole family visits Lukas’ new house, which is this impressive condo unit downtown, to meet his kid who recently had his birthday as well.

Kenton is an abnormally fussy toddler, which bothers his aunts with the concern if they’re doing something wrong.

Gaby asks his brother if she can use their bathroom. She’s not feeling too good since this morning after experimenting with today’s breakfast.

Aunt Gaby makes sure to wash her hands before she snuggles close to her nephew. Behind her, Miranda has taken over the role to entertain her grandchild with her guitar skills.

“You’re like a mini-Lukas, but cuter,” Gaby coos as she studies the toddler’s face.

Kenton starts to make blow raspberries, as if agreeing with his aunt. She doesn’t mind having bits of saliva stuck on her face, and she laughs it off. Maybe having her own kid would be nice too.

Author’s note: I originally had different plans on who would be Gaby’s baby daddy, but oh well! Jayson cleans up nicely after changing his hair from that hideous one, and I hope that their kid will turn out cute too.

I think Kenton has a glitch or something? In the actual gameplay, he aged up to a child a day after he became a toddler. I hope this doesn’t mean he turns older after every single day, or I may be forced to do some drastic measures.
