"Oh that reminds me," said Stella. "The higher ups wanted to add that you don't need to have more kids. One's enough to establish your bonafides."
Nikki raised her eyebrows.
"Okay, wow there are just so many things I could say to that."
Stella chuckled.
"Like," Nikki went on, "I'll have all kids I want. And, well this one was an accident -"
"Just like Everett, huh?"
"Shush you. And Hansons are known for being prolific."
"You're the one pushin' 'em out, not Isaac. If anyone should dictate how many kids you have it should be you."
"Yes, it should be," Nikki agreed. "Not... other people."
Stella grinned.
"Point taken. They also noted you hadn't made any withdrawals from your funds?"
"I really don't think it would be a good idea for Isaac to see me with extra money floating around. If I need to get something work related that he's not going to know about I'll use it then, but in the meantime I feel it's prudent to be discreet."
"Fair enough."
