[Games] Years of your life Game- Part 5(41-50 years)
In this part, you'd expect things to die down a bit since you are now in middle age. Not in this part, not really. The last age where you can have children is 45. You can add some other things if you want, so it will be a little more interesting. You can add weddings, relationships, etc. At this point, you should have a full family. You are about halfway through your journey!Credit to Story for Year Game! Also, credit to Espanolelwales for story ideas!

https://www.behindthename.com/random/Or, you can use the naming section the entire time if you want, which is below. ---You can use this to determine what spouses look like first(if you are not married yet), but if your children are adopted, then you can use this.

Radclyffe familyYEAR 40 Gareth is diagnosed with Lyme disease after he experienced unusual insomnia and depression, likely from a tick he picked up on one of their hikes (which are much rarer these busy days). He is being treated with a long-term course of antibiotics, which his doctors anticipate will relive his symptoms.YEAR 41 Note: I’m assuming most if not all of the other siblings have partners and maybe children by now, I just didn’t bother to add them, in case they end up in the story somehow. 😉 ,
Ender’s good friend and former studio co-owner Radha sells a painting to a rich collector and becomes famous and is starting to be very sought after. Ender has to admit he’s a bit jealous, but mostly he’s super happy for her and hopes she continues to be in vogue.YEAR 42Alex and his wife Ashley get divorced. He stays with Maeve for a few weeks while he finds an apartment, and Ender and Gareth try to cheer him up by taking him out for a hike with the twins, but it’s obvious that he’s preoccupied and missing his own daughter, Bridget who is 8 and living primarily with her mother.YEAR 43It’s a boy! And a girl! Our couple gains – sort of –surprise children! The fertility clinic that Gareth and Ender used called to say that, due to a clerical error, they discovered the couple had a few more fertilized eggs left when they thought they had used all of them. The clinic wants to know if they want to keep storing them, donate them, or have them destroyed. They quickly confer and decide they’ll seek another surrogate (thankfully their previous surrogate knew someone reliable who was available) and go for it, now or never. Hilariously and joyously, they end up with another set of twins. Their son, Gray, takes after Ender and their daughter, Betony, looks more like their egg donor did, but they all joke that she takes after Maeve (Ender’s adopted sister)..
