Still Going Strong…Or Are They?
That evening after Cyto’s birthday and after all the kids were in bed, Bacillus and Mallory were actually able to sit down and eat a meal, just the two of them.
Mallory was due at any time and she had become a bottomless pit. Bacillus would eat with her even if he wasn’t hungry just so his wife wouldn’t have to dine alone. As they sat there eating the conversation of course turned to the children.
“Well, Baby-Face (Yes she still calls him that after all these years and even though that face is far from being a baby’s) Cystiene is walking now. So we have another toddler looking for trouble.”
Bacillus just nodded.
“What is it Bac?”
“Well, Mal, its not that I don’t love our kids, cause I do, very much. But, its just that I’m getting older. Its getting harder and harder for me to help you. I’m getting more and more tired.”
Mallory could not believe what she was hearing, “Bacillus! We decided we would have our ten children! I’m pregnant with number eight now! How can you say this?”
“Mallory, I’m 57 years old! I’m not young any more and neither are you. How are we going to care for three more children?”
“We have the other kids. They help out a lot!”
“I know they do but Mal, they are just kids. They should be doing kid things, not helping raise their siblings.”
“I just don’t believe this.”
Mallory got up and dumped her plate into the dishwasher.
“Mal, wait.”
But she did not respond she just walked away without another word.
Wow! That is a full house! Great Update

Wow, that 10kidswant sure makes a mess in every household. I tried it, but since the dad died prematurely, I had to stop at number 7. Unfortunatly.
Good luck on achieving Mallory’s, she’s such a nice sim, she kind of grew on me during your posts and I would like to see her happy!!

You are too close to stop at # 7 getting that 10 kid want IS doable. Do you remeber my 3rd gen heiress in the Moonlight Legacy? Neroli attained that 10 kid want as soon as she gave birth I immediately had her coax her hubby into performing and she was preggers once more. It did help though that her parents were elder and still living to help out.
just how she looks 
And your lil one is too precious, she is adorable and asking for hugs and kisses

The 10 Children want sure is a challenge! =) (And then you have all those Sims to get through college!)
But I do hope that Bacillus comes around and Mallory gets her life’s dream. I thought perhaps their rendevous in the changing room was going to help her out

Wow … I hope I’m lucky enough to find a guy like Mallory did who will love me forever and ever. :O) Bacillus is quite a guy. You all KNOW he’s going to give Mallory her 10 kids. He can’t say no to her. ;O)) Hehe. This is such a fun family. I remember the “Baby Face” stuff back when they were in college. What dramatic times those were. :O)) Ah … MEMORIES!

Aww, as tired as he is, I hope he gives her 3 more kids (2 if she’s the one who adopted Gaby). Although I do understand what he means about wanting to enjoy the patter of grandchildren’s feet that he can hand back to the parents when their diaper needs changing!

Of course they can have more kids? They already have 8, what’s 2 more?! hehe. They are all very good looking kids and I hope to have a family just like that someday, but with only two kids, not 8…or 10. =)
