Looking through his telescope one night, Pascal noticed a light moving towards him at huge speed. It enveloped him and before he could react, carried him off to the skies.
The next thing Pascal knew, he was standing in front of the house. Considering everything he knew about the family history, there was only one possible explanation for this.
“JENNY!”
“Dearest brother. What could you possibly want from me this early in the morning?”
“Did you tell your husband to abduct and impregnate me?”
“No. Hang on a second. Honey? Did you abduct and pollinate Pascal?”
“No, darling!” P.T. yelled from the kitchen where he was juggling two screaming toddlers. “I promised your father that I’d stop at two members of your family.”
Jenny returned to the phone. “P.T. says it wasn’t him.”
Pascal took a deep breath. “Get P.T. on the phone. I might just have made contact with his people.”
“Oh, that’s wonderful! We can be mommies together!”
If there ever had been any doubt about the compability of their species, P.T. often thought, his and Jenny’s union must have removed those. Jonny and Jill were two healthy enough specimens.
Then Joy and Judy were born. Twins, as P.T. understood, were rare enough with humans. Interesting enough, both girls showed his black alien eyes, unlike his first four children.
And now Jenny was pregnant a fourth time. Maybe, P.T. thought, his people had finally made their way to this planet and were now trying to contact him through Pascal’s abduction.
If that were the case, they would probably have something to say about his pollination abilities. Six children (with another one on the way) were good enough, but he was well aware that they should have been spread farther across families.
Glarn thought the news wonderful. Especially since neither of his unmarried sons seemed to show any inclination to have children. Abductions were the perfect solution!
He quickly set himself to the task of devising a perfect nutrition plan for his son.
“Your dad makes the best chicken wings! Seriously!” Loki’s lab assistant had invited himself for dinner when he found Pascal in front of a bowl with “high protein food with all the essential nutrients”.
“I have to admit, his ideas for healthy food are a lot different from Jenny’s. But I had them analyzed and they’re really good. Apparently he added some vitamin extracts. Jenny says that’s cheating, but I don’t really care. …More importantly, why are you here?”
Nervous’ shoulders slumped. “Circe… kicked me out of the house. She tends to do that for a few hours when your brother comes by.”
Pascal almost choked on a chicken wing. “Wait… Are you telling me…”
“I prefer not to know.”
It became clear to Glarn soon enough that he would not live long enough to see his grandchild born. He had to settle with imparting all of his wisdom about giving birth to alien children to his sons. When he passed away, Glarn was certain that with Vidcund’s help, Pascal would have an easier time giving birth than he’d had.
Of course, Pascal later mused, they really should have taken into account Vid’s uncanny ability to always do the wrong thing at the worst possible time.
Vidcund’s half-scared and half-overjoyed screams as he was pulled into the spaceship were drowned out by Pascal’s screams for his lazy brother to get down already and help him.
Still, Pascal managed to give birth to a healthy green boy named Tycho. He hugged the baby, put him into the cradle and went upstairs to give Vidcund a piece of his mind.
When Pascal was unable to find his brother anywhere, he got worried. Finally, as the sky grew lighter, he went outside just in time to see Nervous Subject chilling outside and counting down. At “zero”, a spaceship appeared and dropped Vidcund off.
Vidcund raised his head and looked around dizzy. Then he realized what had happened and where he was. “HOLY CRAP! I’M GONNA BE LATE FOR WORK!”
With that, he was off.
Shaking his head, Pascal went inside. There he realized that Nervous had followed him. “Can I see the baby?” he eagerly asked.
“…What baby?”
“The alien baby. Tycho.”
“…How do you know about that?”
Pascal was sure that he had tried to keep his pregnancy a secret from the Beaker household, but he assumed that Vidcund had blabbed about it to Circe. Since Nervous already knew about Tycho, he allowed him to hold the baby. Little Tycho seemed to take a liking to Nervous as soon as he saw him.
When Nervous asked Pascal if he could stay and look after the babies - obviously Vidcund was about to give birth as well - Pascal was a bit confused. Didn’t Nervous already have a place to stay? It all became very clear to him when Nervous told the story of what had happened at the Beaker household the past months.
Unborn Baby Curious has arrived! I guess technically it is the last premade sim, although little Tycho has a different father thanks to the Multi PT hack I use. If he'd been a girl, I'd have gone with Ella as a name, since that was my first Pascal's child.
Pascal figured it would be a very Jenny thing to get him pollinated, but she's too busy with her own family.
Unfortunately, Glarn died in the bathroom, so I don't have any decent pictures of that happening.
Nothing more to say except I really like Nervous' lines for this update.
