The summary is as follows: [1] Joe continues to neglect his parental duties, leading Star to be smelly and throw up on Sam when she returns home from work. [2] Joe then starves to death after refusing food. Sam gives birth to Reaper's child, a girl named Story. [3] The three children - Star, Vogue, and newborn Story - continue growing up while Sam struggles as a widow caring for them alone.

1. Chapter Two: Hunger Strike

2. Welcome back to the Superfrog ISBI!
Last time, we saw my founder – who is also my simself – meet her
partner through the Matchmaker. She ended up with Joe Graham – a
guy from the gardening club with no money. While he ran around the
house being random and funny, Sam got a job, got pregnant, had bavy
Star, and got pregnant again.
If that doesn't sound familiar, I suggest going back and reading the
first chapter.
Now! On Chapter Two: Hunger Strike!

3. We return to the Super household to find Star still adorable. But
smelly. A typical event if Sam's at work – and she is at work, despite
her pregnancy – and Joe being at home.
He's not useless as a father, just not a particularly good one.

4. “Why is it that when I come home, my baby stinks and then throws up
on me?”
Because Joe pays her no attention ninety percent of the time.

5. Here, have an example.
“Daddy, play?”
“No, Daddy read.”

6. “* sob *”
“* couch slouch *”
Need I go through any more examples, or is this enough? You get the
idea, though.

7. Then, on top of Joe's slouching, you have the hunger smustling.
Joe whines he's hungry, and then breaks out in a smustle. It's brilliant,
because it reminds me to have Sam call him to dinner. Except when
she's at work. Then we have problems...

8. But more on that later. Outside, Sam is about to bring the next child
into the world.

9. Why is it in half of my challenges, that someone always gives birth in
the street?

10. It's a girl! Named Vogue, because there was a stack of three Vogue
magazines on my desk.
Once again, Joe looks absolutely delighted that he has a daughter.

11. But then again, maybe Joe is delighted he has another daughter. He
did a celebratory smustle.

12. Things keep on getting worse for Joe. He can't find the fridge, can't
find his bed, can't be bothered to pay his daughters any attention.
And he's standing right beside his bed in this picture. It's like the
ultimate slouch.

13. In other news, Star grew up. She's still adorable, but I don't think
there's much of Joe in her.

14. Vogue grew up the same night. She is also adorable! Look, she has
Joe genes, too!
Grew up in a nice outfit, too. Perhaps that's what happens when you
name someone after a fashion magazine?

15. Then I decided that I didn't trust Joe to look after the kids and hired a
nanny. That and I didn't want him to die while Sam was at work – what
if he started a fire or something?!
I already regret hiring her.
“I hate the eldest, and I haven't step inside the house yet.”

16. Joe seems to have a lot of problems at the minute.
“I'm STARVING! Control me! Direct me to a fridge!”
This doesn't look like it will end well.

17. Star, meanwhile, has discovered she has a talent for smustling. She
gained that from her father, I assume, seeing as Sam doesn't smustle
very often.

18. She also found the paper aeroplane Sam had in the first chapter. Like
mother like daughter, I guess.

19. Back on the subject of Joe and his hunger strike, Sam finally realised
there was something up with her husband.
Never mind the fact she was worried because of low aspiration. It
looks like she's worried about Joe, right?
And she was just to make him a meal, when something awful
happened.

20. Joe starved to death. Oops.

21. And for some reason, Death wouldn't let Sam plead for Joe, either. So
she just sobbed, while I sat there, cursing the computer. Then I had an
idea.
I can't remember the last time I had a Death baby in my game, so I
went ahead and got Sam pregnant with Reaper's child. I guess
through every tragedy there is a little bit of joy? Maybe?

22. So Joe is gone. Which is not great, but I'll have to cope with it.
He now rests in the garden, while his daughters catch butterflies by
his graveside.

23. I'm pretty sure the others won't die of hunger. Look, Star's already
cooking for herself!

24. Dear Diary,
Joe passed away recently. Yet I'm showing signs of a pregnancy. How
is this possible?!
...it must be pretty surprising to discover you're carrying Death's baby,
I guess.

25. All of this death comes with free mental breakdowns, too! What a
bargain!
“Just try to relax. Don't even think about the fact you're a widow with
two uncontrollable children and a third one on the way.”
“I feel so much better remembering that fact.”

26. “* sigh * Joe's dead.”
Yes, and you're stuck with me for a creator, who has NO pictures of
your pregnancy because she left the game unpaused by accident
when she ran downstairs to have a debate with her brother.
True story.

27. Still, the kids seem okay even after my mistake.
Star brought home Isaiah Gavigan, a bin sim, who gets along well with
Vogue. Childhood friends? Most definitely!

28. This has taught me to double-check my game is paused before
running off. It's time for the third child to be born.
“I stink!”
“Vogue! I'll change you later, baby's coming!”

29. Nothing quite like giving birth when surrounded by strangers, is there?
“Look a baby!”
It's another girl! This one is named Story, because I have the Toy Story
3 DVD on my desk. If she was a boy her named would have been
Pixar. :D

30. That night, Vogue grew up, wearing pink pyjamas, no less.
She's adorable! Out of Star and Vogue, Vogue got the most Joe
genes, I think.

31. Looks like Vogue got the smustling genes, too, smustling right in front
of the fridge her father couldn't find.
Yes, I do love Vogue...I'm not allowed to have favourites, though.

32. Star and Vogue get along well, too. Yes, that is Vogue in the blue
snowsuit, not some random boy.
For some reason, they play rock-paper-scissors outside, by Joe's grave.
It's strange, they don't ever play that game in the house.

33. Pretty soon, it's time for Story to grow into a toddler.

34. She's adorable, but looks the same as every other death baby. Ah
well. She's still the daughter of Death.

35. Story automatically becomes a handful after she grows up. Everythnig
from playing in the toilet to splashing in the puddles in the broken
bathroom.

36. This annoys her mother.
“Ugh, the bathroom's a wreck! Mental breakdown!”

37. Did I mention that Vogue also inherited the slouch?
Also, she grew up into the red private school uniform. The slouching
and uniform do not work well together, but the uniform's pretty cool.

38. Maybe Star did get her smustling skills from her mother.

39. The family that smustles together, stays together, but Vogue is too
busy throwing a tantrum to join in at this moment in time.
Low aspiration! Yay!

40. Even Story joins in with the dancing! It's just Vogue too busy to join in.

41. Breakdowns are all the rage, apparently. All the cool kids have
imaginary therapists, of course.

42. Because Sam is lonely (and still rolling wants for babies) I call up the
gypsy matchmaker again.

43. “My husband's dead, find me a new one?”
The Matchmaker looks very unimpressed but obliges.

44. And she drops us Toby Bruenig. Unreasonable love for the Garden
Club, methinks.

45. Sam seems to like him, though. Maybe she'll slowly work her way
through the Garden Club?

46. “You're a widow with three kids. I don't think so.”
Toby and Sam just don't click, and the date ends as “okay”. Ah well.
Maybe next time.

47. Here is where I will leave you, this time!
Join me and Supers next time for more cute/smustling/random stuff
and teenagers! Also, I'll be holding the heir poll after the next chapter!
Thanks for reading!
