Since my main focus is Geordi, I’ll be working on him the most with the family. Once the nooboo is born, I’ll be working on Geordi and the new heir(ess) with Xochitl and Karmine doing a lot on their own autonomously. I will help the two gals when it comes to their work life as I want them to succeed as far as they can for simoleon purposes.<\/p>\n

That being said, Xochitl has a bit of Promotion and Daily Tasks that need taking care of. Charisma should be the fastest to achieve I am hoping, so she is doing a lot of conversing with her new husband while both are working out. Two birds with one stone thing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As 3pm rolls around, it’s time for Xochitl to go to work and Karmine is coming home from school. She wants to invite over one of the classmates she met. Of course they can come over. I think now that Xochitl is pregnant, she might be benched for awhile. She may be an MVP, but having a baby inside her might slow things down a bit right now.<\/p>\n

Karmine is getting along with her new friend, Luna. Perhaps it’s\u00a0 the name Luna that they share a common interest in. But Karmine might be a turn off if she has bad body odor. I should have her take a shower.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I have Geordi work on his Logic skill and let the game AI do whatever it wants for Karmine. Hopefully she takes a shower.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At work, Xochitl is approached by the media. I’m going to pretend that they’ve noticed her baby bump and have questions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When it is dinner time, it looks like Karmine never took that shower I was hoping she would do on her own. Xochitl is still at work, but Luna stays over to eat. Karmine decides to eat alone in the kitchen because of her bad body odor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Geordi had received the Clumsy trait awhile back. Most of the time he washes dishes, he seems to let a bowl slip out of his hands. I’m always amused when I see it happen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s the next morning and Geordi has work at 8am. He’s so close to reaching the point for his promotion in the Astronaut Career<\/strong>, I have a feeling today is the day it’s going to happen. The family is able to sit down for breakfast before Geordi goes off to work and Karmine to school. However, Karmine is already complaining about going back for her second day. She’s met some classmates, but I guess that isn’t good enough for her.<\/p>\n

On their way out, it looks like Geordi is giving Karmine some advice which makes her smile.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During his work shift, Knox calls Geordi asking his advice about dating. Geordi seems to be the go-to guy for Knox.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Geordi does get that promotion. Good job, Geordi! He is now a Space Cadet in the Astronaut Career<\/strong>. He receives his own space suit. I like it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Geordi also receives a Mission Control panel gift with his promotion. Nothing fancy about it except the buttons blink and it enables an Emotional Aura. I set it upstairs in the hallway next to a bookcase. The thing is pretty big and didn’t fit much elsewhere, but I wanted to make sure to add it to the house since he earned it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

More chess playing for Geordi means better a Logic skill.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I guess Xochitl isn’t benched at work and after the game, the media approaches her again. This time to ask about the loss her and the team just had.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another night with Geordi and Karmine having dinner without Xochitl. It seems this might be the norm right now. Karmine didn’t invite any friends over tonight. Dinner must have not been so good in the end as Karmine started to become rebellious afterwards. I can picture her saying “You’re not my dad!” to Geordi.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I am able to have Geordi wait up for Xochitl tonight. That is good. Karmine is already in bed by the time her mom gets home from work. I have the two spend some quality time on the couch. I don’t want Xochitl to do too much strenuous work as she’s almost in her third trimester of being pregnant.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Overnight, I spied the ghost of Gramma Eleanor wandering the house.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next day, both Geordi and Xochitl have the day off from work. I wait for Karmine to head off to school and then take the two to the gym in Willow Creek. I’m going to let the game’s AI take over Xochitl as I work on Geordi’s Fitness skill. Looks like Xochitl wants to do some working out, too. Hopefully not too much. She is going to be having a baby soon. It was nice to see that she cares a lot about Geordi’s interests.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Marcus comes over and does his personal training for Geordi. Some chapters ago, I had Geordi ask Marcus to personal train him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On his way home from the gym, Knox gives Geordi a call.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I have Geordi play chess to work on his Logic skill some more and Xochitl autonomously comes over to play with him. How cool is that? It looks like he is teaching her how to play. The two end up being jokesters with each other. How cute.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When Karmine comes home from school, she is sad. Maybe that’s because she tried hard in school today but is still a C student. Tomorrow is Friday in-game. She’s sure to achieve a B grade before the weekend.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is good to see another night of the week where all three can sit down and eat a family dinner together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As the next day arrives, I decide to have Geordi and Xochitl take family leave. She is in her 3rd trimester, and I don’t know when she goes into labor is going to happen. Geordi is the first to wake up and I have him make breakfast for the family.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Geordi really enjoys family meals together by his facial expression. I like watching it too. Karmine seems to approve of the omelets Geordi made. Maybe that is why Geordi is looking at her the way he is.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m going to end the chapter here. Next chapter, we should see the nooboo arrive. Hopefully Karmine will become a B student as well in the next chapter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
