The last few days have been rough for Hadley, despite not having any more toddlers to take care of. She was busy editing her book and cooking and cleaning when she wasn’t crying over the loss of Callie. That was her best friend and they had been through almost everything together. Hadley just couldn’t seem to get over it. 
Once the kids went to school and Manabu went to work, Hadley decided to head to the spa to try and relax. She took a nice soothing soak and got herself an Aromatherapy massage. It didn’t fix her problems, but it definitely helped her relax for awhile.

Once dinner was done, no one was in the mood to do anything. Hadley helped the kids with their homework and went to bed early, along with the triplets. They had a big day tomorrow with their first day of school.
Manabu thought everyone was asleep when he snuck into his secret room to practice his magic. Bailey caught a glimpse of Manabu disappearing into a bush and decided to follow him. He was in mid-pose of the scruberoo spell when she caught him. He stopped immediately and tried to explain it away; Bailey wasn’t buying any of it, so Manabu decided to let her in on his secret and started showing her pictures of the Magic Realm and different things he had learned so far. Bailey was absolutely fascinated.

Hadley almost forgot about Harvestfest! It wasn’t until the pesky gnomes showed up that she remembered. She ran around throwing up her old decorations from her mom and crossed her fingers all the way to the store they still had a turkey she could buy. She was in luck and got the last one!
While Hadley was at the store the kids were playing with the gnomes, giving them pie and future cubes. They were having a blast. 
Hadley returned from the store and got to work on the grand meal when she heard a strange whimper from the next room. She dropped her spoon and ran in just in time to see poor Callie collapse. Penelope was so shocked she dropped her plate of eggs. Everyone was so sad to see Callie go. It was a sad Harvestfest Feast for sure 😥

Hadley rushed home once the book was complete so she could celebrate the triplets’ birthdays. Manabu was so happy to see Hadley. He dropped all the junk he was cleaning up to give her a welcoming embrace. 
Manabu got the house cleaned and dinner made while Hadley showered and unpacked from her trip. Once dinner was done, Hadley whipped up a scrumptious chocolate cake so they could age up the toddlers. She was excited to be done with toddlers, as cute as they were. Three was just too much to keep an eye on. 
The kids aged up, got new clothes, and played until they collapsed in their new beds. Once everyone was finally asleep, Manabu and Hadley had some alone time. They sure did miss each other!

Hadley got back from the temple, took a long, hot shower and got herself a good night’s sleep. She was right on the computer as soon as she got up to write about her latest adventure. She pounded it out without a break and sent it right over to her publisher. They got back to her just as she was eating breakfast and they were blown away by her work. 
Hadley’s work was done and was ready to go back home to her family.

Hadley set off early to traverse the jungle. She spent the first day exploring, scavenging for berries and avocados. She found a beautiful spring where she able to get clean in and then spent the night in a tent in a lush garden.
The next day she was finally able to make it to the temple. Hadley was overwhelmed by its size. There were times Hadley was too distracted by the artifacts and creepiness of the temple to remember to take pictures, but she still got a fair amount for the book. She had no idea how long she was in the temple, but she managed to get to the belly of the beast and found the lost treasure of the sacred temple. 
Hadley loved the adventure. She had no idea how much she missed it and couldn’t wait to get back to the lodge to write all about it.

Hadley was cleaning up one evening after the toddlers finally went to bed and her phone rang. It was a publisher. They noticed she hadn’t written in awhile and had a project for her they really wanted her to take on. They got permission from the Salvadoradian government to have a researcher travel their quaint country and document their culture, history, and even their sacred temple. It was an opportunity of Hadley’s dreams, but she couldn’t see dropping everything in Manabu’s lap like that.
While he was quite sad at the prospect of Hadley leaving, he knew how stressed she’d been lately and figured it would do her some good to get away for awhile. He convinced her he’d be okay with the kids. After much more convincing, Hadley was on a plane and checking into her lovely abode. 
Hadley took the evening to relax in the pool and go to the town center to get to know the locals. She managed to snap some pictures before returning to her rental and finally getting a good night’s sleep.

Bailey is a preteen now and dove right in with helping with her brother and sisters. She’s constantly talking with them and playing with them.

Bailey needed to get away from the screaming babies, so she went to the park to play. She got a phone call from Hadley while she was away. Bailey assumed it was to let her know it was time for dinner, but no. She wanted to know if her and Manabu should get engaged. I assume it’s been hard to try to have the conversation at home because Manabu has been on family leave, maybe? Either way, Hadley wanted to make sure Bailey was okay with them taking the next step. Of course Bailey said yes!
Bailey then came home to three toddlers running wild through the house. Well that happened fast! Bailey hopes their toddlerhood goes just as fast because this house was pure chaos at the moment. Hadley feels bad Bailey is stressed by it all. It’s definitely time for a bigger house where Bailey can have her own space away from the noise.

Just some random screenshots from daily life in the Akers household. Hadley and Manabu are still managing to hold on to their love even if neither has slept in weeks. It seems he’s also been keeping a little secret from us. Manabu is a spellcaster!
Bailey is getting adjusted to her new school, trying to make new friends. And poor little Callie had to go to the vet.

Hadley could not wait to get the three babies out of her. It was a long, hard labor, but she was back to feeling herself again. Now the chaos begins of caring for three little humans...well two and one alien lol. Manabu knew there was a chance for alien babies, but was shocked to actually see one. 
They had two beautiful little girls and one boy. Manabu is really enjoying being a father. Bailey has even tried to help care for her siblings.

Another busy day in the Aker household. Hadley gratefully hit her third trimester, Manabu got promoted in his writing career, and little Bailey aged up. Hadley threw her a little birthday party and was beyond shocked when Paisley actually showed up. In a matter of seconds, they went from doing their secret handshake to screaming at each other. Turns out Paisley wasn’t over stuff that happened in their childhood. Hadley decided to just let it go and if Paisley wanted to a part of her children’s lives it would be up to her. 
Bailey enjoyed her party at least. She knew life was going to get a lot crazier, so she is taking what she can get!

So this was an interesting day in Simsland. Hadley was looking pretty big for her first trimester and got HUGE in her second. I usually like to be surprised, but I had to take a peek behind the curtain to see what was going on with our girl and let’s just say our girl is gonna be BUSY!!! 
She loves being pregnant though and shared her excitement when Manabu got home. They put Bailey to bed and decided to have a nice walk on the beach together. Hadley felt a kick and wanted Manabu to share in the excitement. 
Hadley’s back and feet started to hurt so they headed back home. Hadley had to run to the bathroom so she didn’t even notice (and neither did I) that Manabu was beamed up to outer space. Turns out Hadley’s real mother wanted to make sure her baby girl was treated right (yes, he knows she’s an alien). She gave him a firm talking to about taking on a huge responsibility and if he was going to commit to her daughter he was in it. He assured her he was in it for her and their children. She warned him she would be watching. Manabu decided to keep the encounter to himself for now.

Hadley has slowed down since she found out she was pregnant. They have been using the time to get to know each other as this new little family unit. Manabu has seemed to fall in love with Bailey and has been able to get used to the idea of being a dad. 
Hadley knew things were going to get hectic with a new baby in the house so she’s been using this time to enjoy Bailey and watching her grow. Hadley is so happy. She just wishes her mom were here to see it.

Callie came back dirty a few days later, but she came back nonetheless. Hadley was so excited. She gave Callie all the loves and then gave her two baths just to make sure she was clean. Then she got to surprise Bailey with her furry friend.
