"The biggest change?" A black furred man looks up from a nearby couch. "I would have to say fatherhood. The thing that I have learned about myself? That my presence is essential to the life and sanity of at least two other individuals who should be quite capable of watching out for themselves."
"One of these people is actually one of my own father figures." He ruffles his fingers through the papers and paperlike things in the briefcase beside him, then pulls out a yellow highlighter and starts livening up the paper in his hands.
"The biggest change by far is that I'm a mother now." Ali gives Jubilee a faint smile. "I've learned a lot of things about myself here. If I were to try and list them I think they'd sound contradictory."
"I think someday. Just not right now." Jubilee is at least wise in this decision. At times. Other times, babies are sooooo cute it is tempting to think about having a family.
