Tesime - Round Three: The Phan chapter

After all the excitement and hair pulling of the last two families the Phan's were positively easy to play ! Ping started it off with his aging ceremony and was promptly followed by Ashanti giving birth to another boy who they called Manchu. With needs in the green they even had time to visit with the neighbours. Poor Tre Gallant still managed to get sunburned while fishing with Cimon but a little time spent inside helped with that. Ashanti almost ran Cimon down in her run for the toilet - she must have ate some of that bad fish they serve over at Tempus ;-) And finally both the boys had another aging ceremony.

Phan: Cimon, Ashanti, Ping and Manchu

Tesime current population : 21

7 Boys and 4 Girls

Tesime - Round Three: The Lindt chapter

The Lindt's never disappoint ! Our Liam (uhoh Coronation Street coming into my head) had his second aging ceremony into a toddler. Meanwhile the relentless heat would NOT let up this round. Samuel and Rebecca could not do anything before overheating and passing out. Ok well Rebecca did manage to give birth to another baby boy during the wee hours of the morning and little baby Gideon joined his brother in the nursery ! Rebecca did not wait long to be in the family way again ( yup third times the charm ). And how did this work out with them being so low on needs already? NOT GOOD !! One pass out too many and Grimmy came knocking ! While I did consider exiting without saving I thought having someone die unexpectantly would add to the story. Samuel really does love his wife though so he pleaded with Grimmy to save her innocent soul. Even death can't say no to those puppy dog eyes and Rebecca was back in her husbands arms - and quite thankful as well ! And to top it off both Liam and Gideon had aging ceremonies. It turns out Gideon's baby baldness followed him into childhood :-O
Lindt: Samuel, Rebecca, Liam and Gideon

*On a side note I didnt think a pregnant woman could die?

Tesime - Round Three: The Stonegate chapter

The Stonegate's had a rough turn. Heat stroke ran rampant with Jared and April and it seemed like their needs were in the red all the time. It did not help that she was pregnant again and kept waking up with the most terrible images flashing in her mind. One night Jared heard April moaning and ran to see what was wrong. A new baby was being born right in their bedroom ! Finally a boy to carry on our name Jared thought. Before Jared could spend any time with him though April was moaning again and to their surprise delivered another baby ! TWINS !! This one was a little girl. They decided to name them Marcus and Juno. Jared was reminded of the wild land they lived on when a ferocious beast came sniffing around the children one night. He moved them to safety and chased the animal off their lot. Not to be forgotton Summer aged to a child and began to learn more of their new ways. Just before it was time to leave the Stonegate's for this round April began to complain of a funny tummy. Even she had only one thought of what it might be !

Stonegate: Jared, April, Summer, Marcus and Juno

Tesime - Round Three: The Benet chapter

We join the Benet's celebrating Jorn's aging to a toddler ceremony. Belle had worked very hard for this by preparing a new outfit for him which fit perfectly. This also included their face tattoo tradition which he suffered with only minor discomfort. One night Skalton noticed their garbage was all over the street and wondered if that strange penguin had anything to do with it. What he didn't notice was all the bugs that came with it ! While they were trying to squash as many roaches as they could both Skalton and Belle became deathly ill. This left Jorn to wander around when he shouldn't and the Lightning God almost took him to the netherworld. Thankfully he survived to have another aging ceremony to a child. Don't you think he's looking so handsome ? In spite being ill Belle and Skalton managed to procreate once again and welcomed a little girl, Annalise, to their home !
Benet: Skalton, Belle, Jorn and Annalise

Tesime - Round Three: The Gallant chapter

The Gallant's started and ended this round with a bang ( pun not intended ) ! Violet had her aging ceremony to a toddler and spent the ensuing days learning valuable talents and playing with the nature outside her door. Rose, looking for some alone time, decided to go on a hike but it was a very hot day and when she returned home passed out. This may have had more to do with the fact that she was in the very early stages of pregnancy than the weather but she did not realize it at the time. Before long a bouncing baby boy named Basil joined their little family ! Tre found Rose's skirt too much to handle and even with two screaming kids in the other room he decided it was time for some adult fun :-D And least but certainly not least our darling Violet managed to have another aging ceremony to a child.

Gallant: Tre, Rose, Violet and Basil
