In which there is a baby and a business

Life for Celestina and Lucas was going well. Reyna had grown into some sort of pincer mutt, and the large home was beginning to be decorated to their liking. They spent most of their spare time hanging out on the rooftop deck tossing around a baseball and playing at growing some fresh vegetables, though they often forgot about the crops and let them founder.

"Mommy and Daddy are going to try for another brother or a sister. Would you like that?"

"Sheep go BAAAA!"

"No matter what, we'll love you just as much as we do now, okay?"

"Cow go MOOO!"

Luckily, the bedroom was one of the rooms in the house that had been finished, meaning that the couple had a great place to try for another baby.

"Woo hoo! No more playing with the dumb pink bunny!"

Dylan grew into a child just as well as could be expected, while Celestina anticipated the arrival of their next child...that same night. Meet little Daphne Mayo, second of the third generation and a blond like the rest of the family.

While his job as a Hall of Famer was fun and lucrative, Lucas found he had too much free time and not enough to do with it. He started a new business on the yard of an open lot close by Dance! The wares: chairs. Four of 'em. Cheap. However, the local business columnist, Lisa O'Brien, was impressed by his attitude and gave the business a Best of the Best award that very first day.

Lucas chose to keep the business finances and the house finances separate, yet still made enough to put four walls up and landscape. The lot was named The Furnished abode and expanded to selling couches...because sometimes more than one person needs to sit down at a time.
