Barone had another surgery to do.
The same lady he's been trying to treat before. And failed.
And he failed again!

Luckily could do a shot on another girl and it worked. She was cured.

One day it was Katra's young adult birthday.
There was no big party to be held but he did want to make a cake for her and celebrate it a little.
And she came to blow out the candles.
She's big now.

The celebration wasn't done. It was also Duchess' birthday. Barone didn't bother making a new cake, just changed the candles.
Duchess is an adult now.

More celebration was on the way!
Barone loved the party spirit and the oucntdown to midnight. He had missed it as a teen so maybe this time he'll get to do it.
Duchess and Anabelle were indifferent about this holiday.
They started off with some drinks.
And... sex.
Anabelle still didn't mind Barone doing it with Duchess.
So he kept doing it.
Til he exhausted himself.

Duchess didn't mind the thing either. But she did mind her psychologist job. She got a new job instead. She wanted to help people on a larger scale. So she joined the political career.
She was most likely going to be the fundraiser. She chose the cause - No Sim Left Behind.
She went to find her neighbour Christian to tell him about her new job and to celebrate New Year's.
Christian had something else on his mind:
So the couple got down to it in the kitchen. Anabelle, as can be seen, was well into the party spirit with her noisemaker.
Christian and Duchess had their first kiss in the kitchen too.
And even later...
They became a couple. And! He moved in from across the hallway. His aspiration was Chief of Mischief.
He was outgoing but a coward just like Barone. He was also an art lover cause he, just like Anabelle, was an artist.
