Hello! I'm on my way to see Spiderman with friends so no update today. I might post it tomorrow, but we'll see. In the meantime, I filled out this character sheet that everyone else did ages ago. It was fun to do even if I picked the most vanilla couple to do it with. 🤭

That's all for this update! Sadly Kailani was right to be worried about that conversation, but hopefully you saw the hints of why Ulukai is so mad. The whole story will come eventually! The next update will be all about enjoying the days before the twins arrive. Sneak Peak:

K: "None of this is your fault. Bad sims did awful things to my grandparents so my dad is convinced that all outsiders mean us harm. I have to prove that you aren't like them." She leans in to kiss him before he can say anything. Conflict is not her strength, but she will push through that for him.

He pulls his eyes away from the little bump to look at Kailani. P: "I'm here for you too." K: "I know and hopefully my dad will see that someday. I will find a way to show him that you are not the scary outsider he thinks you are." P: "I hope you do because I don't want to be the reason..."

Poseidon leads Kailani to the bed where she finally calms down. Seeing her belly start to poke out, he once again feels his new found sense of protectiveness. P: "Hey little ones, I hope you're treating your mom nicely today. Dad is here to make sure you get all the love you need, okay?"

As soon as Kailani walks through the door, she throws her arms around Poseidon. P: "What did they say?" K: "He kicked me out. He doesn't want anything to do with the babies or me. He just...He wouldn't listen to me." He pulls her in tight as she starts to sob.

K: "I was leaving anyway. Poseidon already opened his home to me because he's kind. I will find a way to show you one day and you will regret this. Just because grandma trusted the wrong outsiders doesn't mean they're all bad!" She starts to walk away before adding... K: "It's twins by the way."

U: "That is exactly what my parents said and look what happened to them. Grab your things and get out of my house! I will not let you put this family in danger over a boy. After you have this baby, you will appear before the council where we can discuss your punishment." L: "Ul?"

U: "Do you even remember the stories? What they did to our islands? What they did to our family? Does that mean anything to you?" K: "Of course, but I don't think it's fair to say all outsiders are bad because a few of them were. Poseidon isn't like them" As she speaks, Ulukai's face grows redder.

K: "You never said anything." U: "I was hoping you would come to your senses, but I see now that that was a mistake. Do you have any idea how many laws I have let slide for you?" K: "I know, but I also think the laws are unfair." U: "What?!?"

Ulukai stands up defensively as Lehua sits in shock. Not wanting to be talked down to, Kailani rises to meet him. U: "It's that outsider, isn't it?" K: "You knew?" U: "Of course I knew. If I hadn't already looked into it, then I would have heard it ages ago from the town gossip."

K: "I have some news." Lehua: "You already said that dear." K: "Right, well...I..." Kailani takes another deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart. K: "I'm pregnant." Ulukai: "Did you change your mind about Akuma?" K: "N-No"

Sitting in her living room, Kailani feels the weight of the conversation she is about to have. She hates confrontation and fears that that is what this discussion will become. Having run out of reasons to delay it anymore, she takes a deep breath and begins.

P: "Thank you, Mom" H: "Look at me rambling. I'm so happy for you sweetheart. Keep me updated on everything, okay?" P: "I'll try" H: "I love you" P: "I love you"

P: "I've offered." H: "Good, I'll send you some morning sickness tips. My mom always said it was terrible for her with multiple babies. Now I know her mom is nearby and I don't want to overwhelm her so you let me know when it's okay for me to visit. You should ask your sisters for some clothes..."

P: "Mom, you already have four grandchildren." H: "It's different when it's your baby." P: "Haha! Okay Mom, I'll take this as excitement." H: "I'm so happy for you and twins that's a lot all at once. I assume Kailani is moving in with you so you'll want to do all of the setup so she can rest."

H: "Really?" P: "Yeah and it's actually twins." Hera is silent for so long that Poseidon begins to worry that this is not the pleasant conversation he was expecting. P: "Mom?" H: "Oh sorry, it's just my baby is having a baby."

As Kailani heads to her parents, Poseidon calls his mom. P: "Hey Mom" H: "Posy! Its's good to hear from you!" P: "I know I should call more, but I actually have some news." H: "Oh? Should I be getting a new dress?" P: "No, not that. Kailani is pregnant."

Poseidon pulled her in close as tears start to form in her eyes. K: "I love you, Posy." P: "I will be right here when you get back and you can call me if you need me." K: "Thank you"

P: "Kani, I have been sure since the first time we had lunch together. I was always willing to go at a pace you were comfortable with, but I can't let you go on thinking that I'm not one hundred percent sure about us. You and our babies are my home now. I love you, Kani."

P: "You could live here. I mean you do spend most of your nights here already so whatever happens with your parents, you could live here instead, if you want." Kailani seems to take a minute to process this step even if it feels logical to Poseidon. K: "Are you sure?"

K: "My mom already has her suspicions so I'm not worried about her, but my dad...He has no idea we're dating and now I have to tell him I'm pregnant. It's one of his worst nightmares come true so you being there will not make it better. Watcher, I still live there."

Kailani finally looks at him, clearly struggling with what to say. K: "Posy..." P: "I'm sorry. I just made it all about me, didn't I? Please tell me how to help you." K: "Knowing that you will be here, that you'll be right here when I get back, that's all I need."

P: "And you're sure that I can't be there to support you? I know my status as an outsider must be part of why you are so nervous. It feels a little like you're fighting a battle for me." He holds himself back from saying more as she just continues to stare into space.

It is the dawn of the day they both tell their parents. For Poseidon, this means a phone call with his mom where she asks a bunch of harmless and mildly invasive questions, then starts to plan her next trip. For Kailani, however, it means something entirely different.

Update today! It's a little later than usual because I wasn't sure if I would be done today. I am though and it's going to be an emotional one. See you in about an hour!

P: "How can I take care of all of them when I don't know what I'm doing?" Atlantis nudges his chest so he goes back to scratching her neck. P: "You're right, we'll figure out. Thank you, girl." He finishes up outside and curls up in bed with his family, hoping that he is ready for tomorrow.

Happy two year anniversary to my Olympian Legacy and the Makris family!! It is officially my third longest legacy! This family saved me from the edge of sims burnout and I love them dearly. Thank you to everyone that reads their stories! (Fun fact: there are three heirs in this picture. 🤭)

Now that the update is out, I can share that I also did the bear rug poses with Posy and a pregnant Kailani. 🤭 Thank you @adjustedkarma.bsky.social for the fun poses!

That's the end! Twins! I was so unprepared for twins and have actually had to replan a lot of gen 4. I hope I haven't gotten the twin curse considering this legacy started with surprise triplets. Anyways, next update will be all about telling the parents. Sneak peak:
