Falling into Normalcy
While Yersinia was extremely upset about the recent turn of events in her family it did appear that things had finally sorted themselves out. Bacillus and Mallory had taken their niece, Gabriella, into their home and she seemed to be adjusting to live with them well. Yersinia was glad of that. She had wanted to help but was secretly relieved when Bacillus and Mallory offered to take Gabriella. It wasn’t that she didn’t want her it was more that Yersinia was much less of a motherly figure than Mallory and she had her hands full with a toddler herself.
Yersinia and Xavier had forgotten just how much work a toddler could be. When Listeria was an infant she was easy. She just ate, slept and pooped. Now that she has grown into a toddler she is a little bundle of energy and is never content to sit idly. They realized this and postponed teaching her to walk briefly because they figured once she could do that she would be trouble on wheels. Xavier did take the time to teach her to talk.
