Last Time:  Risto and Donatella were at university and graduated with honors after getting engaged.  Siba and then Layce are taken to the hereafter, the family buys a womrat, and we discover Celeste was pregnant but lost the baby. The family got a puppy, Michaell moved to university, and Celeste and Stephen both got jobs in law enforcement.

Kricket is counting down the days until she leaves for university.  She doesn't have a ton of skills, but she should do fine in getting through her university years.  She does wish to be friends with the puppy Bobby, however.

 Celeste and Stephen still have time to have one more baby if Celeste can get pregnant again and keep the baby.  After this round, however, they will be too old for that to happen any longer.  So they get started on this goal with abandon.

 Risto and Donatella, while not in a hurry to start a family specifically, do decide to hop into bed themselves and enjoy being at home and celebrating their engagement and graduation.

 Donatella starts looking for work for both her and Risto on the computer.  Sadly, no jobs in their desired fields have come up, but the family is much less strapped for cash than they once were, so we hold off on taking any old job for now.

 The family, minus Kricket who I believe was at work, sat down for a family dinner.  The dining table is still very small and no upgrades have really been made since Layce and Siba passed on, even though they left some money for the family.

Still not finding either a job in Medical or Science, the young couple of the house sit down and skill together to be sure they are ready when a job does pop up on the computer.

Donatella woke up with an upset stomach right before they held the wedding.  Is it wedding jitters, pregnancy, food poisoning, a miscarriage? Time will tell, but knowing we might have a new baby on the way the wedding is pushed up to the morning.

So guests are invited over, family is teleported via the teleporter so we have a full house of guest and none of the family misses the happy events.

Donatella had bought a wedding dress for this day and stood at the arch waiting for her beloved Risto to join her, and for all the guests to slowly make their way over to the side of the house where chairs were set up.  She practices the kiss.

 Eventually, the guests are mostly seated and the wedding can begin.  Risto's sister Michaell got caught by the chess table before making it all the way around the side of the house so she is "missing" from the seated guests, but she is here.  We see Edmund, Hedwig, Bruce (in the Santa outfit still), I believe that is one of Donatella's brothers, Celeste, Hans, Aquamarine and Mile.  Chloe is also here somewhere as is Stephen.

 The wedding goes off without a hitch and the vows are exchanged.

 Then Risto dips Donatella into a beautiful kiss that I am happy to have caught.

The party was a lot of fun, and we can see from these pictures Luke Potts and Amethyst were in attendance as well. The party was a roof raiser, which shouldn't be a shock to people who know this hood, they all know each other so well by now parties are a ton of fun!

 There was one incident, however, where Stephen and Edmond apparently really don't like each other.  I'm not completely sure what happened between them, but they got into a big fight. Luckily, and very nicely they kept it in the backroom to not affect the party.

 In the middle of everything going on, the puppy, Bobby, grew into an adult dog.  I haven't fully decided if I want to get Bobby a mate, but I probably will, if for no other reason then to keep the baby count down.

With the party done Risto and Donatella are whisked away on their honeymoon to the islands.  The first order of business is to check-in, which Risto does. People whisk their things away to their room and Donatella and Risto head right to the beach and the ocean.

 After swimming and sunbathing a bit they head to a different beach where they can explore the pirate ship.  Nothing of interest really happens on the ship, and Donatella's needs are tanking, telling us that she is pregnant even if we haven't seen a pop.

 The lovely couple wants to learn hot stone massage, so both of them take turns learning it while the other relaxes all their worries in the hot springs nearby.

Back in the room, while Donatella tries very hard to catch up on some sleep Risto heads out to the patio to learn the hula dance.  Apparently this had not yet fully spread throughout the hood yet, but after two couples have come here on their honeymoon recently I'm sure it will now.

 The next day is a bit of a quiet day, they sleep in, eat room service go on some tours, where they made a bad decision on a submarine and didn't get to enjoy it as much as they would have liked, but found hidden places during Parasailing. Then Risto spent some time trying to learn to firedance.  He doesn't tend to burn himself, so he's not doing too bad.

 For their final day on their honeymoon, the couple heads to the secret lot they discovered and find the poor witch doctor trying to electrocute himself.  Risto is quick to offer help, and even though they only have 4 mechanical each, they fix all of the things quickly.

The witch doctor, who had wandered off a bit, thanked them and handed Risto a voodoo doll which he will bring back home with him.

Before they leave, while the witch doctor makes some food, the couple gets a little too comfortable in his home.  Seriously you two, he's in the same room, RIGHT THERE!  Plus, Donatella, you are already pregnant!

The honeymoon complete the couple heads home and Risto has found a job in medicine.  Donatella still hasn't had luck finding a job in science yet, but that's ok because she finally displays a pregnancy bump. The first of a new generation of Cooprider's is on its way.

Kricket makes an appearance in the blog just in time for us to see her off to university.  She got three scholarships to take with her and is headed off for university where we will see her again later.

Bobby was a very stinky dog and begging for someone to give him a bath, so the family did some small updates to the house, including adding a bathtub to bathe the dog in.  Donatella, the only one not working currently, takes on the task, and Bobby was a very good dog.

On the final night in the house, at around 9:30 PM Donatella is up and suddenly hit by horrible pain. Everyone rushes into the room right after this picture was taken, although Celetes and Bobby are already here watching out for her.

 At 9:44 PM on November 27th of year 26 a little baby boy was born to Risto and Donatella Cooprider.  He is given name #58 I believe (US pop name) Aaron. Little Aaron has brown hair like his parents, his mother's skin tone and bluish eyes.

With the birth of this new baby Cooprider, we wrap up the fall and move into winter.  Next season will see Celeste grow into an elder, her wishes for a final new baby out of reach.  She is, however, totally in love with having a grandbaby, and already dotes on him.
