The Beginning of the End
At the house of Bacillus Bacter: Bacillus - 2nd Gen. “spare heir” - Fortune (Perma Plat) - Elder; Mallory - Townie - Family (Have Golden Anniversary) - Adult; Cyto - 3rd Gen. - Pleasure (Have 50 Dream Dates) - Teen; Cyan - 3rd Gen. - Child; Codon - 3rd Gen - Toddler
With only four kids at home, Bacillus and Mallory thought their house felt a bit empty. Codon was the only baby left and Cyto was almost ready to graduate and Cyan was about to start high school. They had been doing a lot of discussing lately over the future of their family. Mallory wanted two more children. Bacillus thought it was about time for their childbearing to come to an end. It was a real dilemma. Bacillus was concerned for his wife’s health. After all, she wasn’t as young as she used to be and having children takes its toll on your body.
They had just about decided to call it quits on the childbearing when Mallory announced that she was once again pregnant.
Bacillus pleaded with her that this be their last child and after much discussion, Mallory finally agreed. Although, it killed her that she would come up one child short of their dream. Maybe she could talk him into adopting one more, then she wouldn’t have to be pregnant again. Maybe that would work.
