Castoria gives birth to her final child, a daughter named Thunder. Thunder grows into a toddler while Castoria's older children begin exploring relationships. Lechuza kisses her friend Glen, while Chupacabra kisses his friend Shanna. Castoria continues working to pay off her large family loan, which has been reduced to under $40,000. She must now figure out how to tell her children about their family mission to search for mythical creatures once they grow up and leave home.

2. Welcome back to Fabulares Animalia! Last time, Castoria moved her
family to a new house and struggled with a huge loan she took out to
build the house. She gave birth to another baby girl, Wind and is trying
to get pregnant with one more child so she can complete her LTW.

3. The morning sickness was definitely worse this time.
Probably the worst time I’ve had through all my
pregnancies. This one would have to be the last. Even
though my lifetime want was to marry off six children.
I secretly wanted ten. What family sim doesn’t?

4. I was being foolish, even in our giant house, there’s
no way we could logically take care of ten children.
Jacob was wonderful help, but one day he would
want a house and children of his own. I am blessed
with the five children I have now, and with the other
on the way.

5. I made sure to spend lots of time with Wind. Her
older siblings were always in the playroom, but they
didn’t really play with her very much. She’s quite a bit
younger than they are.

6. Lechuza was beginning to become aware of the loan. I
tried to hide the debt from the kids, but Lechuza some
how picked up on it. She loved to paint and began
selling her works. Every little bit helps, but I wasn’t sure
I could come to grips with the guilt I felt. I could only
hope that Lechuza would understand and not make the
same mistake I did.

7. “Another baby Cas?” Jacob sighed when he saw me
‘pop’
“Last one.” I replied with a little regret. The ache for ten
kids still bothered me, but I hoped it would go away
soon.

8. It took a minute for the tone of Jacob’s voice to sink
in. Did he hate me? For having so many children. He
was so good with his younger siblings. But had I
crushed his dreams of having a family of his own. He
was still very young. I wouldn’t hold it against him if
he decide to move out.

9. I put Jacob out of my mind for now. Everyone was at
school leaving the house empty except for Wind and
me. I sat down and taught her talk. She was a clever
girl.

10. After settling her down for a nap I paid off a huge
amount off the loan bringing it down to about
$60,000. The interest was becoming easier to pay off
and I am able to really work on the principal.
Hopefully soon Lechuza can start painting for herself
rather than for the family.

11. Jacob came home from work with a promotion and he
cheerfully handed the check to me for the loan.
Nothing about his demeanor hinted toward his mood
this morning. Maybe I’m just feeling guilty and he was
just grumpy this morning.

12. Chupacabra’s and Lechuza’s birthday came too soon.
Children grow up too fast. Soon I would have to tell
them about the mission. About the reason my mother
came down to this strange world.

13. Chupacabra grew to be a romance sim. With a
lifetime goal of woohooing 20 lovers. I can’t say I
approved. But it’s his decision.

14. Lechuza chose to be a family sim like me. She
wanted to have a golden anniversary one day, with the
man of her dreams. My little girl is growing up. She
had my mother’s eyes, she could have any man she
wanted.

15. My youngest child forcibly came into the final
trimester. This pregnancy was certainly more of a
trial to me. Now, I’m finally accepting that this more
would be the last.

16. Both my teenagers got after school jobs. I wish they
hadn’t felt like they had too. Lechuza told Chupacabra
about the loan. Both promised me their paychecks. I
swear that I won’t take them longer than absolutely
necessary.

17. My beloved had the day off and spent the day
shirtlessly working on the current junker. I thought it
made him look rather low class although I could help
but appreciate the view.

18. He also added some solar panels to the back roof. He
found that we can get a credit towards our bills if we
go green. It wouldn’t pay anything towards the loan,
but it would make things a little easier.

19. Lechuza hit it off with a boy from school. I watch and it
didn’t go much past light flirting. Glen, was the boy’s
name and he was painfully shy.

20. It was time for Wind’s birthday that night. I had hope
to have my last child a little closer to her in age.
Hopefully Wind doesn’t mind waiting for a little sibling.

21. Wind grew up beautiful. She borrowed her sister’s old
robe. Not that Lechuza minded.

22. Lechuza flirted with Glen all through Wind’s birthday
celebration. I finally had to ask the young man to
leave. A little flirting is alright, but I don’t like the idea
my daughter is mooning over a young man she just
met.

23. I left Andrew to manage the boys and had a little talk
with Lechuza. She surprisingly took it well and
assured me about what her intentions are with Glen.
I swallowed my protectiveness. I’m going to have to
let her date. She was smart and would take care of
herself.

24. That night I gave birth to my final child. Poor Wind I
woke her up with my screaming. But it hurt so much
this time.

25. I felt like I was giving birth to twins, but in reality it
was just one. A tiny little girl, I named her Thunder,
Wind finally had her little sister.

26. Andrew insisted on taking Thunder down for her first
bottle. I hadn’t let him send as much time with Wind
as he would have liked. I relented. To be truthful, I
want another baby. I’m still struggling with Thunder
being my last.

27. I went to work for the first time in a long time. I wish
we hadn’t need the money so I could be a stay at
home mom.

28. Andrew had to go to work that day too. He hired a
nanny before he left. I very much wish it wasn’t
necessary.

29. I got a promotion on my first day back! My
bosses were very pleased to have me back. I
was honestly surprised. I though I would find it
hard to get back in the swing of things.

30. So many birthdays this week Rookin and Coyote were
next.

31. Rookin chose to be a Fortune sim. He wanted to get
rich by being a city planner one day.

32. Coyote wanted nothing more than Pleasure in his life. He
found joy in cooking and wants to be a celebrity chef one
day.

33. I left Coyote spend a little money to get a new outfit.
The brown blazer really didn’t suit him. Rookin and
Coyote took an instant liking to the junker parked
outside. They spent most of the night working on it.

34. Friday night it was time for one last birthday. Thunder
was going to be a toddler. My baby would soon be
learning to walk and talk. And hopefully be potty
trained very quickly.

35. Thunder grew up looking exactly like Wind. Thankfully
she while she wasn’t super sweet she didn’t have
Wind’s mean streak.

36. Jacob whisked her away to the potty chair before I got
a chance to. She didn’t learn it all in one go, but she
got very close.

37. Lechuza invited Glen over Saturday morning. I resigned
myself to the idea that children inevitably take notice of
the opposite sex. As much as I don’t want them too.

38. Lechuza got up the nerve to kiss the boy. Despite
myself it was rather sweet.

39. Rookin sat down with Thunder and taught her a
nursery rhyme. It was the cutest thing I never saw.

40. Chupacabra was a little upset that Lechuza was the
first one to have her first kiss. He invite Shanna Shaw
over. A friend he’s had since elementary school.

41. She didn’t mind being more than friends. I just hope
my boy’s considerate of her feelings. I know he’s a
romance sim, but he still lives under my roof. I don’t
want a string of broken hearted girls stealing the
newspaper and dumping over the trash.

42. Sunday morning was peaceful. Wind loves playing
with Jacob. I hope she’ll start playing with Thunder
soon. Thunder’s still a bit too small to be noticed.

43. Coyote invited his friend, Trina Hurt, for a date. He
greeted her in his pajamas. He’s always been a
strange boy.

44. Obviously she didn’t mind the pajamas as much as I
did. Coyote snuck his first kiss from her. Rookin’s the
only one who hasn’t had his first kiss. Well, I’m not
going to rush him.

45. Not to feel left out, Lechuza invited Glen back over for
a date. They started going steady. Which has been
Lechuza’s plan all long.

46. While my oldest were busy with their romantic
conquests I taught Thunder how to walk. She’s such a
cute child.

47. Just before midnight, I spied Chupacabra outside with
Shanna again. At least it’s Shanna, and not some
other girl.

48. I sat down to pay on last loan payment before going to bed. It’s down
under $40,000 now. Thanks to my family. I hope to pay it off by the end
of the next week.
Next week I must figure out how to tell my children of their mission. One
day they’ll leave Riverblossom Hills to explore the world and search for
mythical creatures.

49. That’s it for this chapter. I almost didn’t have it
finished in time for this weekend. But thanks to
marathon of playing and writing it is done. I’m really
sad that Thunder is the last baby, Castoria is due to
grow old. She keep throwing wants for more. I might
have her adopt some more after her kids move out.
Thunder should be able to grow up while Chupacabra
and Lechuza are still teens. I’ll post the heir poll up
then. I can’t wait to see who’ll be heir!
