Welcome to chapter 2 of The Pause Legacy, in which things of an interesting nature happen.

I do love Edmund’s cranky faces.

Page 2: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

When we last left Pauline had given birth to the newest addition to the legacy, Jude and Dion.

Page 3: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund couldn’t contain his glee.

Edmund: “Twins? I am the MAN! It’s more kids in half the time, we should definitely do it again.”

Page 4: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

The house returned to clockwork like status. Except for the fact that 3 kids are a lot worse than just one. Not too mention that somehow their needs were always exactly opposite to each other and Jude always cried when nothing was wrong with him.

Page 5: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Nothing much happens and it was their birthday yay!

Pauline couldn’t decide whether to celebrate Jude’s birthday or to answer her phone. (Jude won, but not by much.)

Page 6: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Jude and Dion Pause

Both have Pauline’s eyes, but no sign of fish lips yet, noses are too soon to tell.

Page 7: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

For the moment, Jude is my favourite, but that’s only because he has Edmund’s hair and facial structure.

I’m not too keen about having two slobs in the house. One that gets excited about his mess and the other one who wants to sit alone in his mess.

Page 8: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund can’t stop doting on his boys.

Page 9: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Zared always has an evil smirk on his face when he looks at his younger brothers. Maybe he thinks he’s Edmund’s favourite?

Page 10: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

It’s true

Edmund: “Zared you are my dear favourite baby in the world.”

Page 11: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Dion didn’t care much, as long as he was left alone.

Page 12: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Jude did however. I’ve never had such a needy toddler sim before. Stats all green, but he bawls his eyes out.

Page 13: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Congrats on the promotion Pauline.

Pauline : “Thanks, the boss said he likes people with strong family values.”

Page 14: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Pauline: “Why hello, young gorgeous baby-sitter with caramel eyes. I may or may not be single.”

Carmelo: “It’s the may not that I’m interested in...or the may.”

Go home. Even if you are very.....very cute.

Page 15: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Pauline offered to escort Carmelo home, and so Edmund was the only one present for Zared’s birthday.

Page 16: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Zared grows up somewhat....wanting in the looks department. You may think I took this shot in between blinks, but no, that’s more or less his face.

Plus now he hates anything artistic, so he’ll be excited about how impressing a new painting is so he can hate it?

Page 17: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

*sigh* Flat nose and fish lips still.

Plus he doesn’t seem all that excited about things.

Page 18: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

So Zared, growing up into a child. Must be pretty exciting.

Zared: “Yeah I guess.”

Page 19: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Zared look! Your father made you sandwiches. Exciting huh?

Zared: “Better put these away before they go bad.”

...and the sink is leaking like a fountain!

Page 20: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Zared: “Better mop it up before those new slob babies can make it worse.”

Page 21: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Pauline, the commitment phobe rolled a want to have another baby?

What a coincidence, Edmund also wants another child. How convenient.

Page 22: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund: “I’m gonna impregnate you so hard.”

Pauline: “Ooh you’re so naughty.”

Page 23: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Zared: “Hey Mum and Dad, just going on the computer. What are you two up to?”

Pauline: “NOTHING!”Edmund: “Yeah, nothing! I’ll tell you what we weren’t about to do. Getting it on! No we sure weren’t.

These guys could probably use a couple more rooms.

Page 24: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Zared: “Wow, the universe sure is ugly.”

Zared, the universe is a fantastic mystery that we cannot begin to understand. With it’s billion, billion stars, black holes, and undiscovered life in the chasms of neptune, it’s mystery is what makes it so exciting.

Page 25: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Zared: “I’m not saying that that it doesn’t have stars and blackholes and things, apart from the aliens on neptune. I’m just saying it’s boring and ugly.”

Page 26: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

You may think that this is Zared’s first painting. Nope, it’s Pauline’s. With more atrocities to come.

Page 27: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

See!

Page 28: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Morning Zared. Look, Dion learned to walk, isn’t that exciting.Zared: “Yeah maybe, I’m going to play with the telescope.”Really, I thought you didn’t care much for the telescope.Zared: “No, I guess I like it.”

Page 29: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Zared: “Damn ugly butterflies, ruining an otherwise satisfactory day.”

Page 30: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund: “Zared Zared! You’ll never guess what happened at the base today!”Zared: “What Daddy what?”Edmund: “Well we were doing our usual training routine in the tanks when Turner took a wrong turn and we ended up on the main streets! He drove that tank right into the park!”

Page 31: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Zared: “Dad you’re lying! Tell the truth!”Edmund: “I am, I swear! And then Turner ran over three cars!”Zared: “Wow! Cool! What did the owners say?”Edmund: “Oh they ranted on and on. One guy yelled “Hey soldier boy, you just ran over my car!”.”

Page 32: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund: “and then Turner said, “I would hope so, I was aiming for it!”.”Zared: “Heheheheh, Turner is the best! I want to be a soldier too now, and drive tanks over everything!”Edmund: “Good fun it is. Oh, well I better go and fix that shower, it’s like a fountain.”

Page 33: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Zared: “Stupid ugly fountain, who cares.”

Page 34: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Zared: “Tee hee hee, tanks are cool.”

Page 35: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Whoo! Pauline is pregnant and Edmund is that much closer to his LTW of raising five kids.

Page 36: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

I swear she doesn’t dance unless she’s with child.

Page 37: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Pauline: “Now I can have another baby party! I’m going to need my rest for all the dancing and socialising.”

Page 38: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

A party went underway and Pauline showed her guests how the Pregnant Lady Dance goes and Edmund began schmoozing with his new boss.

Page 39: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Pauline, are you near Parker Langerack?! He’s the town casanova. He says thankyou the naughty way!

Parker: “Hey Pauline, you look hot.”

Page 40: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

AHHH! Curse you free will!

Pauline, how could you. Edmund is right there!

Page 41: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund didn’t even notice. He’s too preoccupied sucking up to his new boss.

Page 42: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Bossman: “Edmund turn around! Your wife just cheated on you!”

Edmund: “Lies! Bossman, Pauline loves me. She’d never do that!”

Page 43: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

This party has just turned sour.

Every single person had a new hatred for Pauline, and people she didn’t even know went to give her a piece of their mind.

Page 44: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Pauline: “Oh god. Parker, help me.”

Parker : “Man, that Jamie is lookin’ fiiiiiiiiiiiine.”

Page 45: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Man: “Were you raised by a pack of Llamas!? What kind of self-obsessed person would do that to their husband. Have you no shame?”

Page 46: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Pauline: “HEY! Do you think you know me?! I certainly don’t know who you are. You come to MY party, and enjoy MY hospitality and then you march over like you know all about me!”

Man: “Edmund is my friend, so if you think—”

Page 47: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Pauline: “Don’t you be judging a pregnant lady! Our hormones are crazy and you should fear the wrath as I have A LOT of time on my hands to plot revenge. This space is mine! Get out of it.”

Man: “Sorry m’am.”

Page 48: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Shouldn’t you go and talk to Pauline Edmund: “We’re busy.”Doing what?Edmund: “Well, I’m eating.....”And what’s Pauline doing then?

Page 49: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Pauline: “Glad you got pregnant again! Now we can perfect the dance!”

Page 50: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Pauline: “Shake it, shake it baby, work the hips, yeah, no-one gets up in our space!”

Page 51: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund: “Besides, what’s there to talk about, I’m fine.”

Page 52: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Alright Edmund, go to bed then.

Edmund: “No problem...”

Page 53: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund: “I’ll just lie down...and go to sleep next to this...woman who....doesn’t love me.”

Page 54: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund: “I can’t do it...”

Oh Edmund, that face is gonna make me cry.

Page 55: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund tried to go to sleep on the couch, but ended up staring into the void all night.

Page 56: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Not even a crying Jude could snap him out of it.

Page 57: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

When Zared sat down to eat leftover hot-dogs, Edmund began to vent incomprehensibly.

Edmund: “Sure they make you fall in love, reel you in hook, line and sinker, and for what? So they can watch you while your heart breaks?Zared: “Dad, this hotdog tastes funny.”Edmund: “It’s made of lies.”

Page 58: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Pauline! It’s been three days now and you two won’t even look at each other. Get in there and talk to him.

Pauline: “Don’t worry, with my womanly wiles all I have to do is say sorry and lift an eyebrow very provocatively and he’ll forgive me like that.”

Page 59: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Pauline: “Edmund dear, please watch as I lift this eyebrow. Now your heart has melted and all is forgiven. Also, I could use a backrub.”

Page 60: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund: “Woah there, I’m not ready to forgive you. I don’t even know how I feel about us right now.”

Pauline : “What! Why not?”

Page 61: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund: “Why!? I loved you and trusted you and you return my love by making out with a local nobody in broad daylight right in front of me! How many others were there!? You not only broke my heart, you then made fun of the way it looks.”

Page 62: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Pauline: “And I love you, you spiky headed moron! Why do you think I’m still here, trying to get past this quickly without making a fuss. You think I would sit here and take this abuse, I try to make things better and you get all up in my –”

Page 63: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund: “In you what? In your space?? Maybe I don’t care! Maybe your all up in MY space!”

Page 64: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Pauline: *GASP* “You..”

Page 65: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund: “I think you should leave.”

Page 66: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Pauline: “But Edmund, I’m pregnant, with your child.”

Page 67: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund: “Sorry, have my precious child, and then leave.”

Page 68: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund that was a bit much don’t you think?

Edmund: “Who asked you!”

...shutting up.

Page 69: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Oh Zared it must be so hard for you with your parents not getting along.

Zared: “ *CHOMP* They aren’t? I didn’t notice.”

Page 70: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Zared was invited over to Judy Andrews’ house and I thought it would be great to get an early start on future wives and such. Until I remembered her surname and what the Andrews look like.

Page 71: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

AHHHHHHHHH!

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Page 72: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Zared: “People like that shouldn’t be allowed out their house.”

You know, you don’t really fare that much better Zared.

Page 73: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

While Zared was pondering that line of thought, Pauline went into labour.

Pauline: “I sure wish Edmund were here with me. No, I’m a strong independent woman, I don’t need a man.”

Page 74: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Pauline : “AHHHH! Edmund! I’m sorry! Please stop being angry at me and take me to the hospital. I can’t do this alone!”

Page 75: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund: “Hmm chicken.”

Page 76: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Pauline’s gone to the hospital alone, shouldn’t you be there too.

Edmund: “No, I’m staying right here.”

...

Page 77: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction

Edmund: “Pauline wait, Daddy’s coming!”

Page 78: The Pause Legacy - Chapter 2: Process Malfunction
