And now we arrive, at long last, to the new home of Snow Flenderson and Kayla Flemming. Snow is the oldest son of Lightning Flenderson and her husband Hugo, while his wife Kayla is a newcomer to Tranquility Creek.
Um...hi, guys...
Snow: Oh, hi mysterious voice...
...You guys did move into a house, right?
Snow: Yeah, of course. It's right over there.
So...is there a reason we're using the community grill...at midnight?
Snow: Well, neither of us could sleep, so we thought we'd come outside for some fresh air...
And some job hunting, apparently...that's quite a way up the ladder. That degree really paid off.
As is the case for Kayla...oh, I didn't know you were a body builder.
Kayla: Of course! Man, some all-knowing voice you are...
I never said I was all-knowing...
But I do know I should probably wait outside for a bit...
Anyone surprised here? Anyone at all?
Well, I guess we'll have an extra Winterfest gift...
...Why would anyone say no to that?
Oh, that's why...looks like Snow's got his work cut out for him.
Snow: Hi, Dad! It's great to see you!
Hugo: We just heard the news! Congratulations!
Snow: Well, you know, it's going to be a lot of extra work...
Hugo: Yeah, well, babies are like that...
Snow: Babies? Oh...oh, right. Yeah...yeah, they are.
Did you think he was talking about your book deal?
Snow: Shh...
Kayla: You know, now that you're a bit-shot author, you think we can maybe get some better stuff?
Snow: I guess...what were you thinking?
Kayla: I don't know...maybe some curtains? Or a nicer couch? My back is killing me!
I think that might be the pregnancy more than the couch.
Snow: There we go...get in there, you little dust bunnies!
Doing some cleaning before the baby arrives?
Snow: Yeah...Kayla hasn't been feeling well today...
Yeah, I'm betting she doesn't...it's baby time!
I think this is it...
It's a boy! Welcome, Luigi!
...And it's another boy! Welcome, Yoshi...
...You have got to be kidding me...Welcome, Mario...
Kayla: There's three of them...
Yup...that's kind of how triplets work.
Kayla: But there's only two of us...
Snow: Ok, guys...Dad's got to head to work! Be good for Mommy, ok?
You doing ok, Kayla?
Kayla: I...I have been feeding them for three hours. I finish feeding one, another one starts crying...
Well, luckily Snow's back home...with a promotion to boot.
And it looks like he's about to get a lot more material...
Ok, here we go...
...Really? We ended up with an intense infant too?
At least he's cute...
Looks like Mario is cautious...
And Luigi is sunny...
But they all look way too similar...and if I know anything about triplets, it's time for some color-coding...
There we go. Mario's red, Luigi's green, and Yoshi is blue. I hope they like those colors because they're going to be wearing them until they grow up.
Snow: Ow! Hey there, little guy...no biting Dad!
Um, not to add to the chaos but...wasn't Winterfest supposed to be happening at some point?
Kayla: Who has time for that? We have three babies, in case you haven't noticed.
Fair point...
Looks like Father Winter didn't get the memo...
Snow: So, listen...I'm glad you're here and all but if you could leave the presents super quietly...we have three babies sleeping upstairs and if you wake them up my wife will...well, you don't want to know...
Kayla: Ok, Yoshi, let's just get you clean, and...
I think that's Luigi...
Kayla: ...ok, well, whoever you are, let's get you cleaned up so we can get the next one in here...
I guess the color-coding doesn't work so well during bath time.
Kayla: Come on, Mario...just try it!
What are you trying to feed him?
Kayla: Um...mashed peas?
You know, I don't really blame him...
Kayla: Can you just drink, please?
(Doorbell)
Kayla: Ugh...here, just...play with your brother for a minute...
Yeah, I'm sure these two won't cause any chaos if left unattended.
Hunter: Hi...I don't know if we've met. I'm Hunter Lytle, I live down the road? I read the birth announcement and I was wonder if you guys needed any help. I mean, we just had twins and we were ready to pull our hair out, and with this new baby thing...
Kayla: Stop talking and come inside!
Snow: So, this little guy's name is Yoshi...
Hunter: Aww, hey Yoshi...Come on, let's give your mom and dad a break for a minute.
Yeah, I don't think these two are getting a break for a really long time...
Snow: What the...I just gave you a bath!
Like I said...
Well, I think this is a good time for me to escape-I mean, be on my way. Good luck, guys! I'll see you in Round 22!
A Message From the Mysterious Voice: So...yeah. My game has a fantastic sense of humor. Second birth after the infant update-triplets. (Luckily, this was also before Growing Together, so the babies were able to move around without having to hit milestones.) One infant is adorable. Three is hard-especially with both parents working like these two were. And forget about holidays-I barely was able to have Snow talk to Father Winter!
