Chapter 7.1
Chapter 7.1 Out with the old
Whilst Twix and Hershey were still at University, Cointreau decided it was time to retire. She was loaded enough as it was, so she saw no real logic to keep working up until the day she died.
Aero also proposed to Adrianne. 
They moved into a pleasant two bedroom house across the other side of town. Basically, far away enough so they knew that the family would not bother to visit until they had children.
Oh, and at some point Yorkie got taken away by the RSPCA. Mainly because Jeffrey kept using him as a foot towel.
Twix seemed to be the only one who cared about this. Even Cointreau, who had doted on Yorkie in the past, wondered why the food in the dog bowl was still full to the brim a month later.
As most families do, they adopted a new pet to replace the previous one. His name was Snowy and he was pretty much on his last legs, so the family made sure not to grow too attached to him.
For some strange reason, Snowy loved to dig holes. Very big human body sized holes.
This worked well for Twix and his garden, although he was a little bit concerned about the corpses ruining his crops.
Samuel McNeil, Bounty’s fancy man, moved in with the Baileys at some stage.
Upon discovering how crazy her family way, he quickly proposed to her so they could move out together.
They moved into this swanky little house very close to the city since they loved the night life.
And so, the only child who had not flown the nest yet was Hershey, which Twix did not mind since he thought his little brother was pretty awesome. However, with the departure of his two older siblings, he noticed his father exhibiting some rather strange behaviour. 
Some very odd behaviour indeed…
…And no conveniently placed plate could hide this fact. 
Twix sobbed when he realised, being heir and all, he would not be able to move out to escape this kind of trauma. At least, for the time being.
Cointreau sure did know how to blackmail her husband into wearing his medical career uniform, purely for her own pleasure. This was pretty much an everyday occurrence, much to the dismay of everyone else in the family.
Twix masked out his parents’ strange fetishes by focusing on the things he loved the most, which included making potions and, more recently, camp night-time gardening.
‘Twix, I think she has…’
‘Perhaps I’ll gain a useful trait,’ 
All in all this was a grand day since there was cake involved.
And Hershey was obviously excited about becoming a teenager since he would be allowed to tamper with more dangerous stuff on his workbench.
Despite receiving bushy eyebrows, Hershey did not look too shabby, although due to constantly peering at his reflection in the scrap metal he had collected over the years, he grew up to become a bit of a snob.
Sadly, Hershey’s thirteenth birthday was not a great experience for Yorkie. Somehow, a larger dog had gatecrashed the party and decided to steal Yorkie’s stuff.
Their children were also growing up well. 
‘You’ll pick me, right?’ Bounty asked one day, when her siblings were in the other room singing karaoke.
Sometime later, Cointreau decided to prove she still possessed her friendly trait by throwing a swanky party for Twix’s transition into teenhood. Obviously, this was just another excuse to stuff her face with cake. Lots of cake.
Two days later, she adopted an adorable Yorkshire terrier whom she named Yorkie. She quickly forgot all about whatever the old family dog was called and planned to train Yorkie to become her evil sidekick.
Time passed by. Cointreau went into labour, as do most women who are pregnant.
Despite working in the medical field, Jeffery found it hard to keep his composure.
Somehow, Jeffery drove Cointreau to hospital just in time for her to pop out their firstborn. They named him Aero since Cointreau was fond of the chocolate brand with the same name.
Cointreau only really took back ownership when it came around to Aero’s birthdays, primarily so she had an excuse to eat cake.
A few months down the line, Cointreau and Jeffery celebrated their transition into pure, but not so simple, adulthood.
He was such an embarrassment that even Aero found it awkward hanging out with him afterwards.
Sadly, Jeffery’s charm only worked to a certain extent and it was not enough to keep the repo man at bay. It was not as if they could not afford the bills, they were bordering on becoming millionaires after all, They had just forgotten to pay for the last installment of their recently installed hot-tub.
The repo man ended up taking one of their many computers.
And more devastatingly, a plate of autumn salad.
The expression on his face suggested that he got off on his job far more than he should.
She was unable to make it to the toilet in time however, so left her own nasty surprise all over the floor, which Jeffery later found, causing him to vomit instantly.
