"When did you buy this house? I didn't even know about it." Calling it an apartment was a bit of an understatement since it took up half a floor, so the house was really big, with not only an oversized main bedroom but also four guest rooms that were equivalent to other people's main bedrooms, as well as two study rooms.
The reason he decided to divide one very large study room into two when renovating was that Bernard was thinking about the children. He felt that, at his and Avery's pace, they should have kids right after getting married. There was no time to delay; otherwise, by the time they had children, everyone else's would be all grown up, and theirs would indeed have no playmates.
Of course, if Avery wanted to go on a honeymoon trip, he was also willing to satisfy her wish. After having the baby, if they wanted to travel, leaving the child with his parents was perfectly fine, and then they could go wherever they wanted.
