Chapter 10: Normal

"Normal" is the name of episode 11 of season 4 of Criminal Minds.

So I might have said that this chapter would be longer. It is longer that the last chapter not not by much. The next chapter (11) was going to be so long that I divided in into 2 parts.

-Start of chapter-

Reid had a terrible night’s sleep and woke up in a terrible mood.

“ARH!! I just want to go back to bed.” He growled as he made his way to his dresser.

First time I have had a sim get angry so far in this legacy!

Once Reid had finished getting dress, he asked his mother to help him with homework.

“So what exactly do you need help with?” Amora asked Reid.

“Well, I’m supposed  to write a paper about Edgar J Hoover and the FBI.” Reid replied as he started researching the topic.

“Ooh, how about conspiracy theories and stuff?” Amora pointed out.

“That sounds awesome! Thanks, mom!” Reid responded as he began to write his paper.

Amora had really begun to love painting. She still wrote books but she began to prefer painting over writing.

Later that night, Amora helped Reid complete his homework again. This time was algebra.

“Solve for x in the following equation. 2x+6= 10.” Reid read from his homework

“x =2, right mom?” Reid asked.

“Yes. Great job!” Amora answered.

Amora, Penelope and Hotchner spend some quality time at the dinner.

“So how’s your school work going you two?” Amora asked as she began to eat her dinner.

“I’m just finishing up my research paper on the effects of alcohol on teens” Penelope replied, not looking up from her notebook.

“We are learning some difficult equations in my math class and we are learning about colonial America” Hotchner mentioned as he started working on his dinner.

 I hate ghosts. They are always breaking stuff! A couple days after Zach broke both the sink, shower and the computer (not pictured), I had him sent to the netherworld. I liked that Zach would talk with his family and stuff but I can't fix every appliance all the time!

Before Amora knew it, her oldest was turning 21. She spent the whole day baking her a beautiful wonderful cake.

Everyone enjoyed the delicious cake together except Hotchner. Hotchner was busy playing and doing his homework to join the family eating cake.

Another picture to show Amora’s progress on her painter extraordinaire aspiration. She is on the 3^rd tier already. She has 25 paintings on display, she is in the progress of viewing 30 paintings. I think she has painted 2 excellent paintings?

Hotchner and Reid enjoy playing chess together just like Reid and Penelope do.

Hmm. Should I move my pawn or not? Maybe my knight? Hotchner pondered

He is already gonna lose, Reid thought to himself as he already knew how to win.

Amora also helps Hotchner with his homework later that night.

“When did Colombus sail the ocean blue?” Hotchner asked.

“In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” Amora answered in a singsong voice.

Amora was very upset that she had to send Zach back to the Netherworld.

“He is completely gone and It’s my fault. I should have let him stay.” Amora cried.

“Mom. I love dad but he was causing things to break down. He isn't completely gone, mother. He lives on in your memories and in your heart.” Penelope said as she consoled her crying mother.

One has said that a family that does homework together stays together. All the Telly kids sat together at the kitchen table doing their homework or began to start their homework.

Of course, each kid enjoyed different activities.

Penelope would still make a bunch of different drinks at her bar or she would read some recipes for new drinks to make. This time, she could make drinks will alchol in them because she was finally old enough to drink!

Reid liked  doing a variety of different activities. He loved building things at the workbench, playing video games on the computer and he even started to build his own rocket ship!

Hotchner seemed to really love one thing: the pool. He spent almost all his free time swimming.

Sometimes, one or more of his family members would join him.

Amora spent most of her time paining now. She loved it and she began to admire her excellent works after she had completed them.

Aka she finally finished viewing 30 paintings and finished painting 10 excellent paintings. Thus completing the 3 tier.

While most members of the house were finally getting back into the normal swing of things, 

Hotchner was still depressed about the loss of Zach.

"I love you dad and I miss you," Hotcher whispered as he sulked all the way to school.
