Lytle 4: Round 17



Last round, Hunter Lytle and his new wife Leigh Aimes finally set up their new home after getting married. Leigh quickly became pregnant and soon a son, Zyrtec, had joined the family. Unfortunately, this did little to ease Leigh's worries about Hunter's safety after his...close call back at his parents' house.


Hey, Hunter...

Hunter: Hi, Mysterious Voice...

Anything new going on around here?

Hunter: Oh, the usual...


Leigh: Hunter? What are you doing up? Are you feeling ok?

Hunter: Yes, I'm fine...just making a snack.

Leigh: Come on, let's go back to bed and pick up where we left off...

Left off?


Whoa! Ok, ok...I get the hint...


Anyone surprised here? Anyone?


Leigh: I'm going to have a baby!

Hunter: That's great...I guess I'd better start practicing in the kitchen, huh?

Leigh: What?

Hunter: You know, for promotions?

Leigh: Right...you know, you could just keep up the painting, too...

Hunter: I guess...


Zyrtec: Mama, baby come now?

Leigh: No, honey...not for a little while. But we've got a lot to do before then.


Like hunt for eggs, apparently...wait, didn't we already do this?


Nice going, Hunter.

Hunter: Thanks...


So let's see...looks like we have to decorate, eat a big meal, and find some eggs...shouldn't be too hard...


Look, even the toddler can do it.

Zyrtec: I finded one!


Um...hello....

Hunter: Mysterious voice?

Yes?

Hunter: Are you seeing...

The giant rabbit? Yeah...yeah I am.

Hunter: Good. I was worried it was just me.


Leigh: The Flower Bunny's here! Zyrtec, come in here sweetie...


Oh, this should be great...


And Zyrtec looks just about as happy as most toddlers would when meeting a giant rabbit...


...who I guess is staying for dinner?

Pine: Hey, this is awesome...can one of these guys come to our house?

Um...we'll see...


Hunter: So how's my little niece doing?

Emerald: Oh, she's fine...Hosnian thinks she'll be out of that bassinet any day now.

Hunter: Good. You can send it over here...


Too late...looks like you guys are going to need one now...


No hospital?

Leigh: ...No...time...


It's another boy! Welcome, Tylenol...


Aww, he's cute...


Meet your new baby brother, Zyrtec...

Zyrtec: Hi, brother...


Wait, what?


Hunter: You're going to have a baby?

Leigh: Uh-huh...

Hunter: But...you just had a baby...

Congratulations, now you know just how your dad felt...


Hunter: Well, enjoy being the youngest for now little guy...because it's not going to last.

Not that you would know anything about that...


Hunter: So pretty soon you're going to have a baby brother or sister...

Zyrtec: But I already have a baby brother...


Well, he won't be a baby for much longer...


Happy birthday, dear Tylenol...


Something tells me independence will be a good thing in this family...


Although maybe the braid crown isn't the best idea...


Zyrtec: Daddy...it's hot!

Hunter: I know, buddy...

I guess there are drawbacks to living in the desert, huh?


Then again...there are some benefits...


Hunter: Huh...maybe this two-toddler thing isn't so bad...


Good, because now it's time to figure out one toddler, one child.


It's birthday party time!


Or...


So, I guess we're headed to the hospital?

Leigh: No...this is Zyrtec's birthday and we're going to have this party. I'll be ok...I've got time.


Um...ok, then...Happy Birthday dear Zyrtec...


Ok, that's do-able...


And I think he knows his birthday is about to be upstaged by his new sibling...


Um, Forest? You know not every party is going to be pirate...

Leigh: OW!

Forest: Ok, that's it. Come on, we're going to the hospital...

Please change first.


Ok, party's over I guess...


Ok, this is new...I would have thought Toronto would have headed right to daycare.

Hunter: Why? It's his little brother or sister. He should be here.


And the baby is being delivered by its' uncle, no less...


It's a girl! Welcome, Claritin...


Oh! Make that 2 girls. Welcome, Allegra!


Looks like Zyrtec got two very...unexpected birthday presents.


Leigh: Hey, buddy...sorry about cutting your party short.

Zyrtec: That's ok, I guess...it's not your fault the baby came.

Leigh: Babies. You have 2 little sisters!

Zyrtec: ...What?



Yup...looks like you boys are going to have to stick together! But unfortunately I've got to be moving on. I'll see you guys next round!


A Message From the Mysterious Voice: So, it seems that Hunter is carrying on his family's over-population gene. Obviously I wasn't planning for Leigh to have twins...I just wanted her to have 1 girl. (I also didn't plan for her to go into labor during Zyrtec's party. I'm actually impressed my game didn't explode trying to handle those two things together.) And yeah...the flower bunny is...cute, but creepy. (The picture with Zyrtec is a posed shot, but I feel like it sums up how most toddlers would react...)
