KNITTING NEEDLE ZACHARY WHAT. WHAT EVEN ZACHARY.

Okay, the capslock aside, It's probably good that Zachary was the first one to find out. He was blunt enough and rude enough about it to get Sunset fighting with him, which doubtless got her thinking again. I like the way you raise the issues of raising a child as well as the blessings of it-- too many people are all "omg bbs solve everything" and they so, so do not.

Looking forward to the Damian-shaped hole in the door. :D Good job.

When Zach was little, he got sent home from school with a note about how he doesn't play well with others. And it's been true ever since. Luckily, Sunset has known him since then and knows to expect it.

Thank you! I know more than one person irl who seems to think that babbies fix things and...ehhh. Sunset loves kids a ton, but that doesn't mean a baby is the best thing ever to her. Luckily, Damian starts trying a lot harder at his job and actually starts getting promotions and everything, once he gets over his 'YOU'RE JOKING, RIGHT?' thing.

Thanks for reading!

A+ once again, my pretty. Your Zach makes me want to RP again. Or draw him. Or I don't know. 'Tis lovely.

I would call this a 'tough love speech' but it is probably more of a 'tough vague-fondness-of speech', isn't it. Either way <3.

Yay. :D I might bug you about Damian's reactions to bb. I was thinking he would think she was joking at first. "...This isn't funny anymore. D:"

ZACH, YOU KNOW YOU SECRETLY CARE ABOUT HER. It might be in a vague brotherly love/hate sort of way, BUT YOU DO.

Ty for reading! <3
