Come here, pet. Let's go outside and look at all of the pretty flowers your Papa planted in the garden, all right? Daddy and Papa have something we'd like to talk to you about. You can finish up your mermaid movie when we're done . . . that's Daddy's good girl

What's that, sweetheart?

No, no Daddy isn't sick. I promise.

[dracolicious]

Papa's right, Munchkin, Daddy is perfectly healthy. Yes, you can have a bite.

[boywholives]

You know you're not getting that back, right?

[dracolicious]

Apples have got two sides for a reason. And should that fail, Daddy's got two pockets full of backup.

[boywholives]

Of course you can help me take care of Daddy. I'm going to need lots and lots of help, too.

[dracolicious]

And if Papa happens to need to borrow a few of Daddy's hugs, I know I can count on you.

[boywholives]

Bean might need a few, too. Because he'll be missing Daddy's hugs.

[dracolicious]

I think big girls should take Daddy's side of the bed that night and make sure no Beans go rolling off, what do you think? Papa might need your protection, as well.

[boywholives]

He won't be away from home for very long. He'll be back before you know it, and you can help me get things ready for the big day.

[dracolicious]

Planning a bacon feast for my glorious homecoming, Potter?

[boywholives]

I have a feeling that you're going to be on a, er, lighter diet for a short while.

[dracolicious]

Bollocks.

[boywholives]

Um. Baby-making parts? Well...er...they're...

Uh...

[dracolicious]

Remember when Daddy told you about the Manly Uterus™? It's a little thing in Daddy's tummy where the babies grow, and it's a little bit broken right now because . . . it just is. So Doctor Mauvoisin is going to take out the broken one and give Daddy a fresh one, in case Daddy and Papa want to have more babies one day. I know this is hard for even a big girl like Daddy's Emmyboodle to understand.

[boywholives]

Um, we don't know how many more babies. It may not be for a very long time before we have another, but I promise that we'll tell you first, okay?

[dracolicious]

Well, aren't you just the shrewd little negotiator tonight? Daddy and Papa don't get to decide if it's a little girl like Amelia. It could be a girl or a boy, or even more than one. It's a big surprise, you're right!

[boywholives]

Sure, you can go and finish your movie now.

[dracolicious]

And be careful with those biscuits around the dog!

[boywholives]

Fast as lightning, she is. Seems like only yesterday that she could barely balance on her own two feet.

[dracolicious]

I never realized just how big a three year old would be. I still think of her as a clueless little baby waddling around with a fat wet nappy dragging her down, then I see her and I can't believe my sappy, hormonal eyes.
