Patrick and Aimee watched as Ridge and Rosemary argued for long. Both of them had headaches from the argument, and the two little ones had even lost their voices, but in the end, no one emerged victorious.
However, what made Patrick and Aimee relieved was that neither child threw a tantrum or acted out. Especially Rosemary - she always seemed to be on the winning side of things and was used to Ridge giving in to her demands without any effort on her part.
But because of this, she also knew that Ridge's indulgence wasn't something she could take for granted. So this time around, when Ridge didn't give in to her demands, Rosemary wasn't upset. Her mind was working overtime trying to figure out what she really wanted.
She knew what it looked like - that all she wanted was to win - but winning through unreasonable means held no real value. She needed a plan.
"We should call a truce," said Rosemary. "This isn't something we can decide on our own."
Patrick and Aimee exchanged glances; sure enough, the next second Rosemary turned towards them both and asked, "Can you give us whatever we want?"
"In theory," replied Patrick. "But scientifically speaking, it's a probability issue. Even your mom and I can't guarantee making such decisions."
Rosemary was still too young to understand probability issues like these.
Ridge remained silent; he'd read enough encyclopedias already so he vaguely understood what they were talking about now.
After hearing Patrick's explanation though, Ridge realized he didn't know why they were arguing earlier at all. He felt pretty stupid about it now.
"What if I want a sister instead?" asked Rosemary.
"Emotionally speaking," said Patrick patiently, "your mom and I will try our best to fulfill your wishes along with your brother's, but if we can't do it, would you get angry?"
