For some insane reason or another, Nicole got it into her head to buy a dancesphere. My first thought was that she found out that I had attempted to impregnate myself via alien abduction like Uncle Derek had suggested, and was taunting me with my failure. But I was just being paranoid. Thank goodness.
My momentary paranoia got me to thinking that Derek was clearly wrong about the whole dancesphere thing. I decided to try it again, just to prove that there was no way it would work for real.I was wrong.
The next day I come home from work, and there is happens: my stomach bulges out. It's true. It does work. I don't know why it didn't work the first time, but it does work. What am I going to tell Nicole?
"Honey... putting on some weight?"
"No, I got abducted by aliens again and got pregnant."
"Again? I don't remember seeing a UFO..."
"It was the dancesphere"
"Speaking of which... you've lost some weight."
"I had the baby, while you were out.
"Awesome! Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Boy."
"What did you name him?"
"Cash."
Surely she was kidding? But no, to my horror, it was true! Nicole had named our son "Cash". *Sobs uncontrollably*.
Soon it was Cash's birthday, and he transitioned into a toddler.
Nicole had some interesting methods of teaching Cash to talk.
Soon it was my turn to give birth. I had a very green baby girl, and for awhile there I was lost in her beautiful black eyes. Before I knew it, I had named her Verity. A virtuous name, unlike the shallow one Nicole chose to bestow upon our son.
Soon after my promotion to Ecologial Guru, Verity had her toddler birthday.Nicole also confirmed her second pregnancy. Hopefully I would be there for the naming of this one!
To accomodate our growing family, we extended the top floor.
Cash grew up into a child.
Soon Nicole gave birth to a second son. And named him without me! Again! And just like Cash, she gave him a name just as bad - no, worse! She named him *sob* Dosh! *Cries*.
The whole thing depressed me. Why was Nicole so inconsiderate of my feelings? I wanted to have 10 children, but I didn't want Nicole to name all of them something shallow and horrendous, and unless I was there, there would be no way to stop her.Back to Fortunate Springs Main PageIt looked like if I was going to give my children proper names, I was going to have to have them myself.
