Generation 1: Chapter 8: Already Running Out of Titles
Edward is off, once again, doing Mayor things, leaving Katrina alone with the twins. So to distract them, she turned on the kid's channel. Sounds......fun
Katrina watched the show, analyzing its story structure.
"Hey wait a minute, this show is all style over substance!" Katrina exclaims "I count at least four plot holes and continuity errors, and the Mise-en-scène is all over the place!"
Trina and Rina just cheered for the show while their mother kept analyzing it. Everyone's a critic.
And then Katrina started mocking them for being simple minded enough to enjoy this show.
Well would you look at that, Katrina's older daughters, Nina and Dina have come to visit! Oh and Dina is a wonderful daughter, cleaning up the mess left by the toddlers.
Oooh, looks like Trina's going to introduce herself to her big sisters! Look out Nina, looks like you're the favorite.
"Ah ha, how cute. Now get away from me." Nina said, brushing off the toddler.
Uh oh, look out Nina, here comes Rina!
"Oh dear no!" Nina exclaimed "Now there's two of them!"
"Well looks like they like you." Katrina said with a smug tone of voice.
"Good, you two can babysit the kids while I get a well deserved nap!" Katrina said as she waddled back into the apartment.
That's when Katrina stopped dead in her tracks and turned around and headed back into the hallway.
"On second thought, you two continue babysitting the kids. I'm going to the hospital to deliver this baby." Katrina said as she walked past "Hope Edward gets to the hospital in time."
"Alright kiddo, you watch the TV while your big sister goes to raid your daddy's liquor cabinet!" Dina exclaimed to young Trina.
On the other hand, looks like Nina has grown attached to her little sisters. Must be nice to have other sisters than......Dina.
Katrina's back from the hospital, she seems to be overjoyed by the fact that at least ONE of her daughters are enjoying this scenario.
I guess it's about time to interrupt this story with an obligatory section devoted to how cute these toddlers are.
Rina just dancing in the hall.
Katrina not being able to resist the cuteness.
And of course, Trina just playing with her dolls.
Curse you Maxis for making the toddlers so adorable in this game.
Edward finally marched through the door "Boy howdy this was a great day of work! We didn't pass a single piece of legislation! We just sat around, argued and drank scotch!" he said with a chipper tone.
"Well good, since you didn't answer your phone at work and you're in such a good mood you can take care of our new twins while I get some sleep!" Katrina snapped at her husband.
Edward sat in silence processing exactly what she said "......New twins?"
Oh boy, Katrina was right. They had ANOTHER set of twins!
Alina and Tina Baxter, Born 2037.
"Well I mean, kinda my fault I didn't answer the phone. I'll accept my fate." Edward said calmly as he stood there for several hours taking care of the newborns.
Oh looks like the toddlers want to see their new baby sisters! First up, Trina looks pretty happy to be a big sister.
Rina though.....She looks like she was not excited for this at all.
Katrina approached Edward as he was getting ready to get some well deserved sleep after taking care of the babies all evening.
"Hey, hope I wasn't being too harsh with you." Katrina apologized.
"Meh. I'm just glad you didn't kill me, you would've been justified." Edward said calmly. "I just want to know something......When did we take that picture right behind me?" 
Let's turn on our Toddler Translator to see what Trina and Rina are thinking here. Looks like they're thinking about how awesome it would be if they got their Dad to play dolls with them.
Eight minutes later, let's turn that Toddler Translator back on! Looks like Trina and Rina have gotten their wish and are quite ecstatic over it.
Okay, Katrina has had enough of Diego Lobo causing so much ruckus ever since they moved in. Especially now that they have to listen to his passionate love making late at night.
"Alright Diego, enough is enough!" Katrina exclaimed "I need you to be considerate and realize that what you're doing at night is just plain rude."
"Oh come on, I get to hear you and your husband doing it every night." Diego responds "You have no grounds to stand on in this argument."
Katrina just sat there and smirked "Oh yeah.....Alright, you got me there. Let's put all of this behind us." 
Alright, looks like we've got another timeskip here. The year is 2040. Those newborns are now 3 years old in case you have trouble with math. First off here's Tina Baxter.
And there's Alina Baxter. Oh and there's Katrina not being able to resist the cute.
Oh and there's 5 year old Rina.
And 5 year old Trina!
Edward has been trying to work from home more often....Turns out there was some sort of virus outbreak back when Edward was a kid back in 2020, kinda a big deal. Turns out a lot of employers found out it was very much possible to make a lot of people work from home, so Edward attempted that with his Mayoral work 20 years later. Hey, he was able to win his re-election this way so it must be a viable way of work.
Though he still has no idea when they took THIS picture.
Looks like it's time for Edward's monthly trip to the Willow Creek prison to visit his mother.
"AND Alina's first words were 'Are you f'ing kidding me' after hearing me say it so many times!" Edward exclaimed to his mother. "By the way, I just have to ask. What's with the shaved head?"
"Well sweetie it's funny you ask that. To fit in with the other, more tougher prisoners in the yard I had to shave my head. It's all about survival, dear." Aria answered.
"That's a shame." Edward responded "But it's alright Mom. You just have to wait another decade for me to turn 35, and when that happens I can run for President and legalize stupid questions and have your prison sentence commuted!" Edward proclaimed.
"Oh that sounds wonderful. However I hate to say this but, I found out asking stupid questions aren't punishable by life in prison." Aria added "Turns out they're punishable by death."
"Wait what?" Edward asked.
About 15 minutes after their conversation ended, Aria was brought out to the prison yard to be executed via firing squad.
Aria Baxter. 1990-2040.
You were a kind mother who did everything she could to raise Edward in this.....weird weird world.
Personally, I think you did a fine job at it since Edward is doing so well in his career thanks to your wonderful parenting...Especially since your Husband didn't help you out much.
Your Presence in this story was minimal, but your legacy will have a larger impact than you think. Rest in Peace, Aria.
