It was a good thing that one of the things droid babies needed was to be babbled at, because Ariel could accomplish that in spades. Her baby daddy, not so much, it was true, but they worked out a system and, besides, Ariel really wanted to bring their little robotic son with her to Pixie Dust, so she could not only buy him some cute clothes, but also to have something to keep her occupied through the shift that didn't result in her leaving with three more new dresses.
Babbling was being accomplished, with the help of fashion magazines, as Ariel flipped through them and told Adam all sorts of stories about the pretty pictures and read to him the articles, and was glad that he seemed to gurgle in appreciation of the fact that it was a good thing summer was coming up and Ariel's hope that seashells would be a bit more in fashion up here like at home.
It was a little easier taking care of a kid now that she didn't have the shock of it being a potential kid from the future, but spending time with the droid baby certainly did give her confidence that if Bruce Jr. or Melody ever really did show up in her life, they'd be in good hands.
...fairly good, anyway.
Pixie Dust is open!
pixie dust,
