Giving birth was physically taxing on River's body. And it was a blessing to have Alanna not wake up in the middle of the night thus allowing River to sleep...and somewhat recuperate though she would be sore for quite some time. (Creator: they really should have extended that body sore moodlet to include after pregnancy) River slept until well after sunrise.
When they woke up, Haruo did some smelting with the new smelting machine. This way they would no longer have to send ore out to get it smelted and thus save some money on the processing costs. After all it was at minimum §40.00 per single ore sample to process and it could get very pricey, very quickly. And doing it at home allowed Haruo to have some control over the process as well as the savings in the pocket.
River, of course, once she was awake, was more than happy to give him a good-morning kiss. "Well...good morning, sweetheart..." :D
For the little one, being birthed was no walk in the park either and Alanna slept, recovering some energy from the experience of being shoved headfirst through a hole the size of a pea (not meant to have things the size of a small watermelon being shoved through it) and having her fragile head squeezed in a manner akin to cake frosting being shoved through the tip of a cake decorating bag. Oh, her head would regain the round shape, but it might take a while.
Haruo knew that another mouth to feed in the family required even more focus on their chosen careers and thus he and River headed straight over to the painting easels. Each of River's paintings ended up being over §2500 (if they were Brilliant) and over §3500 (if they were Masterpieces) respectively. It was a heady time to see what River would produce with her artistic skill maxed out.
Allan when he got up was able to ride a bike over to the northwestern part of town wher he was able to talk to Jack Bunch who had commissioned a painting from him. What he received in return was a rather sizeable amount of simoleons even though it wasn't in the range of what his mother could achieve with a single large painting.
For Alanna, birth was traumatic and sleep was the best medicine for that. So Alanna slept...
...and Allan pedalled home.
River decided to have Alanna's aging up party and everyone gathered at the kitchen downstairs to celebrate.
Molly had held Alanna while River blew out the candles...but River took Alanna back after Alanna had her aging up process, and it seemed as though Alanna had inherited her grandmother's hair color.
And yet another little Chikamori had gone from baby-hood to crawling little lump that liked to shove their fingers up their nose.
