The Reeves Family | |||
2 Reeves Avenue | |||
Nicole and I moved into a new place together, just across the road from Mum and Dad.
We married on the spot.Nicole took a job as a Theorist and I took a job as a Medical Researcher. Nicole was hoping to get her career as a criminal started, but there just weren't any positions vacant. I was soon promoted to Chief of Staff though.
Worse, Nicole laid down the law. She doesn't want to have children yet! Really, I could cry. I want nothing more than to have a baby of my own flesh and blood in my arms... that isn't one of my siblings. I want a son, or a daughter. Preferably both. Lots of them. I'm thinking at least ten. *sigh* But Nicole doesn't want any! She wants to be a Criminal Mastermind, and an actual house. "Look at this place," she said. "It's a dump! Seriously, do you really want our children growing up in this squallor?"*sigh* I suppose she has a point...
I was telling Uncle Derek about it, when he came out with something rather surprising:
"Well, you've been abducted by aliens before, right?"
"Ugh, don't remind me."
"Well then, there is a way you could have a child without Nicole's say so."
"Adopt?"
"No! Okay, you could do that too, but that's not what I was going to say. Look, if find yourself a dance sphere..."
You won't believe what he told me. And even though I hated my experience with the aliens... I really wanted children. So one night I went downtown and took a ride in the dance sphere. Just like Uncle Derek said I would, I disappeared, and lost a couple of hours of my life.
When I got back, I was so excited by the prospect, although, to be honest, other than being a little dizzy, I didn't really feel all that much different. Still, I decided to celebrate by buying some new clothes for my future children.
And I also got some new clothes for Nicole and I.
Then I got a $80,000 bonus when a mistake was found in a new proceedure before it was put to use. We immediately used it to fix our place up. It's not a dump any more, is it Nicole? Heh!
We also used the rest of the money, and the bonus Nicole got with her promotion to Mad Scientist to start a new business: Reeves Toys. We worked hard, and it was soon up to level 5.
Nicole got a new job as a Smuggler, and I got a new job as a Dinosaur cloner. I haven't been showing any signs of pregnancy though... If it weren't for the fact that I did lose time when I went into the dance sphere, I'd wonder if Uncle Derek knew what he was talking about... Although in hindsight, I guess B'Elanna, Mia and Brainiac were all born because of dance sphere abductions. Maybe the aliens don't want me to have children yet either... *sigh*
Anyway, my new job came with my very own cow plant. Knowing the voracious appitite of the cow plant, I decided to keep the door to its habitat locked at all times, and I'm the only one with a key. Don't want to loose any family or friends to it!
Then the day she had been waiting for her entire life had arrives: Nicole made her lifetime want of becoming a Criminal Mastermind! I was so happy for her.
Best of all, Nicole said that she wants to start having children now! I was so excited! And, well, heh, we immediately got to work... heh heh heh. Soon, success was evident. Unlike that alien baby... I don't know whether to be happy or disapointed that didn't work.Back to Fortunate Springs Main Page
