ISBI: Generation 2 - Round 3

[thesterina]

Last round:
‣ Anika married her longstanding crush, Carter.
‣ She gave birth to their daughter, Samantha, at the wedding reception!
‣ Carter is proving to be a useless addition to the family.


. . . . . . . . .






Anika and Carter spend all their waking hours caring for lil' Samantha...




... and recovering from caring for lil' Samantha!


. . . . . . . . .




As you can imagine, their house has turned into a real pigsty!




This baby bouncer thing is my favorite thing in the world!
I fully plan to have one of these when I have kids, IRL!






Anika gets to cleaning and cooking, while the baby snoozes away!

. . . . . . . . .




We are celebrating two things tonight! The soon arrival of another baby...




...as well as Samantha's birthday!

. . . . . . . . .




Anika invited her parents for the birthday party.




She also invited her brother and his family...




But they left the minute they arrived! Darn it!

. . . . . . . . .






Ravima dashes for her grand-baby and dotes on her all night.
This is the most "motherly" I have ever seen her!






Meanwhile, Anika and her pops enjoy a game of 'Dont Wake the Llama".

. . . . . . . . .






It soon came time to blow out the candles!




Samantha is now a little older and a little cuter!






Carter was MIA because he was at work!
At least he helps to pay the bills, right?!

. . . . . . . . .






Anika's breakfast is interrupted by the dreadful news of her mother's passing!




She invites her father over so he could have some company.
I didn't want Callum alone at a time like this!

. . . . . . . . .






That night, Anika gives birth to a second daughter!
Say hello to Madison Charles.




I'm glad that Callum was here! He is so helpful!

. . . . . . . . .




We haven't seen much of Carter because he's always at work.
His workaholic ways have paid off and resulted in a promotion!

... and this is how I learned that he is a criminal!
*clutches pearls*

. . . . . . . . .








How Anika spends her days...






How Carter spends his days!

. . . . . . . . .




Literally, I blinked and Anika was out the door!
I guess she was fed up of being home 24/7.




This meant Carter was left at home... to watch the kids... with no help. (⚆ᗝ⚆)






After having a meltdown, Carter got his act together.
He actually did a good job, wow!

. . . . . . . . .




With nightfall and the kids asleep, Carter is free to do what he truly wants...






... which is having a mental breakdown!
And sleeping it off in the backyard.

. . . . . . . . .




3AM wake up calls from your toddler are NOT it!




It was at this moment that I realized that Madison was missing!
WTF is the baby?!




Apparently, our poor baby had been left by Carter on the floor for hours.
I thought she was in her crib this whole time! ಥ_ಥ




Mama to the rescue!

. . . . . . . . .






Anika wakes up to terrible news: her father, Callum, has passed away.

. . . . . . . . .






Anika spends the day in a fog of sorrow.
However, she pulls herself together to celebrate Madison's birthday.




Madison grows up terribly, but she is still a cutie pie!


. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


That's all, folks!




• What a bitter round! Can't imagine the pain of losing both parents.
• Carter is very little help; it is frightening, especially because...
• Baby #3 is on the way, and I am seriously worried!
