Cyriaque was still working hard and going to meetings. Even though he had reached his goal, he wanted to become a power broker, top of his game, the retirement payout was much better. But he was being a wonderful husband, and not to going to even half as many meetings as before, Yucca began to feel that broody feeling, and wanted another child with him.
Xanthorhiza was indeed no longer a baby.
Everybody was still confused as to where those deep blue eyes had come from.
Cuphea did all he could to stay away from people.
Yucca and Cyriaque had been trying every night, to no avail. So they both had Wednesday off together, once the kids where at school, they baby maked till they could baby make no longer. Surely have must have done it.
Ylang had mastered Gardening, and was about to learn all should could of DIY, all she had to do was become a master artist to be fulfilled.
She had taken to exploring the catacombs at the graveyard at night. She was a daredevil after all.
And dare it was.
The moment Yucca felt the first pains of sickness, Cyriaque began hoping it was another girl.
She quickly began stretching out her corset (and thighs)
With her sister walking about all round and pregnant, Ylang began wanting another baby too, but would she dare to this time. Her little baby boy was growing up, which wasn't helping her feelings.
As soon as Cyriaque was home from work, he and Yucca sneaked out to the garden alone.
But you cant keep candle blowing a secret in the Owens household.
True to his word, he retired straight away with a hefty power broker retirement fund.
He could now spend all his time, meetings free, with his family, and the new bump. Yucca had still not decided what she wanted, and was just happy to be having a baby with Cyriaque.
As he had no work the next day (or any day) he decided to see what all the fuss was with the catacombs. The shock stayed with him for hours.
Good job he didn't have work the next day, because Yucca went into labour. She was surprised to see him freaking out at her side, so much time spent without him.
But she soon didn't care!
Cyriaque was pleased when it was another daughter. He named her Xeronema.
He would be there for this little girl, and leaped straight into giving her first bottle.
As a bid to be alone Cuphea spent the weekend in the catacombs. The fear was worth the seclusion.
Ximenia of course chose to spend her weekend with Yerbas evil husband Desmond. They had really become best friends. Yerba watched her little niece closely. (she had also grown herself another bump)
When no one was looking she managed to even get a hug out of him. It was just friendly of course, but Ximenia was happy all the same.
The kids spent the weekend playing tag at the park, seemingly care free.
But Xanthorhiza was pining for dads attention, and he was now free to give her all the attention she wanted.
Infact he was being an all round fantastic dad and husband since retiring, taking on all the baby care of Xeronema. He even spent time gettng to know his eldest daughter, they were practically strangers.
It's no wonder Yucca had began wanting another baby almost as soon as she had given birth to the last.
As soon as Cuphea had blown out his candles he got himself a job in the science career track, he dreamed of becoming a creature robot creator, but whether he would be able to cope with all the people at the work place was debatable.
After securing a job, he went back to explore the catacombs. He brought home a friend with him he found there. Someone that wouldn't freak him out.
