Armitage: "Congratulations, father..."

Brendol: "What for? My "grandchild"?"

Armitage: "As if we both didn't know what really happened! You made me obsolete as your heir by siring a new one. But you abandoned responsibility, so that the child will grow up working class and toughen up or something. The truth will get revealed in your Will."

Armitage: "I should hate you, little brother. I WANT to hate you and I most likely would have actually hated you had you joined the family before I met... Well, not your business. She'll never know. And you will enjoy this timeline in which I don't "accidently" drop you off a cliff. Isn't life nice?"

Armitage: For everyone not me, that is.

Rey's situation with the boss would have led to trouble, had not an even more life-changing event occured:

One day a little boy was dropped next to the municipal donation bin with a note reading "Hux ranch" attached.

Brendol accepted the infant. He named it Archibald and since everyone in town assumed that one of his cowboys had to be the father, the rancher put Archie up in their shack.

I've made use of the bug that causes a townie's child to get born into the active household instead of into thir own. The donation bin part isn't made up, Archie really spawned in front of the museum.

Beach day!

The sea is so majestic, but the younglings babble on...

Rose: "Okay, challenge: First to say a word loses."

...

...

...

Paige: "Archie pottied in da sand, mom!!!"

Archex: "Ha! You lose!"

Money isn't the issue with the triplets+1, time is. The Ticos are lucky that they have the same work schedule, so the kids all go to daycare for eight hours what helps A LOT with keeping their needs up.

While all three spoke their first word before aging up, only Archex learned how to string words to sentences.

Rose and Armi reassured each other that they hadn't completely failed their children yet, that they could still turn things right.

They also treated themselves to the expensive Cthulhu bed.
