The Bloomer Legacy: 2.6 Family Matters

All is well in the Bloomer family. Baby number three should show up any minute, Isaac is still a great husband and dad…

…and has the work routine down: crime scenes, witness reports, interrogations…

…and, of course, dealing with Juanita’s frequent visits at the police station.

Isaac lets out a deep sigh: “Ok Juanita, what unacceptable alleged crime are you here to report now?”

Juanita: “Oh, none, I just came to invite you and the fam for dinner.”

Juanita: ‘I just love trolling him!’

Of course we take up the Perrins on the offer and the whole family goes across the street in the evening.

Isaac ventures into enthusing about his life: “You know I’ve never felt happier – my kids are little angels, my wife is the most amazing person on the planet, I have another child on the way and work is so fulfilling…”

This is sure to put a damper on Juanita’s mood: “You sure you can’t think of anything? Nobody insulted you at least? Haven’t had to search any disgusting criminals lately?”

Peter appears to be the first Bloomer who gets along with evil cousin Cassiel: “I think Captain Duckhorse will got space next, and fight some space villains.”

Cassiel: “Oh cool, can I be one of the villains?”

Peter: “Sure!”

That being said, Peter is likely to remain the last Bloomer Cassiel likes.

Cassiel: “Get out of my house! There’s only room for one princess in here – mommy said so too!”

Juanita beamed with pride: “My little girl, isn’t she darling?”

Ruby: “Isaac, wake up! It’s time!”

I would have thought having the baby delivered at the hospital would help Isaac’s nerves this time around, but no such luck.

Isaac: “What’s the doctor doing? Is that meant to happen? Aah I can’t watch!”

Doctor: “Sir you need to calm down or I’m going to have to ask you to leave…”

Baby number three is here… along with baby number four. Oh plum.

Unlike me Isaac and Maranda have no fear and welcome the twins to the family.

Meet Charlotte, who is slightly older by a couple of minutes.

And Gretchen, the baby of the family.

Peter: “Mommy! You’re home! I was so afraid that you had to go to the hospital, I thought you were really sick!”

Ruby: “Not at all bunny, that’s just what happens when new babies arrive.”

Peter: “Babies?”

Ruby; “That’s right! Go have a look, they’re inside already!”

Peter: “Wow, they’re so tiny!”

Erica: “You used to be just like that! You even wore the same onesie sometimes.”

Peter: “Hi babies! I’m your big brother Peter! We’ll have lots of fun when you get a bit bigger, and Captain Duckhorse will take you along for all of his adventures!”

Erica: “I’m just so excited the family is even bigger now!”

Least. Gloomy. Gloomy. Sim. Ever.

Both of the kids took the new arrival pretty well, and they spent most of the afternoon cooing over the babies. I for one cannot wait for them to get past the baby stage!
