Skywalker Apartment [Some ungodly time at night, Monday]

[sith_happened]

Rory and Juliet had been released from the hospital today (and the ridiculous plastic bands to make sure no one was going to steal their daughter had been left behind. Anakin was still annoyed that those existed), and the afternoon had been a bustle of getting Lorelai settled on the sofa, the baby settled in her room, and getting Rory to nap at all

Romeo stared at the message and the attachments for a surprisingly long moment, given he'd barely talked to the professor since taking his class. He wasn't sure the message was even really meant for him.

But he was unable to ignore a baby Juliet. A new Juliet felt like new hope, in some crazy, poetry-addled way. Every baby deserved as much.

Master Skywalker -

She is a lovely girl, and she has a beautiful name. Congratulations to you and Mrs. Skywalker, and I wish for your Juliet to have a beautiful life.

I'll pass you well-wishes along to Rory.

Thank you.

Well. We can always hope she ends up with your hair. And less Winston Churchill looking.

SHE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WINSTON CHURCHILL.

...

and neither do I.

She is gorgeous! Tell Rory I love her and I'll call her in a week or so, once she's had some time to sleep and settle in. Congratulations.

Abby says we wero;cnmwefilycbf43. I think that means "we'll play together at homecoming" in Baby.

Thank you, and I'll pass along the message. I'm even printing this out so I don't forget. My brain is a little scattered these days.

Dude, I'd be lying if I said I was surprised the two of you could turn out such a great-looking kid. At least, I'm pretty sure she will be.

Congrats to both of you, and give Rory a hug for me? I've been asking that a lot lately, I know.

If someone here doesn't get to it first, I'll make sure Angel gets the message, promise.

P.S. I know Rory said I could babysit, but I'm not so sure that's a great idea . . .

She's just not allowed to date rogues, assassins, pirates, or idiots. Given the general mix that comes through Fandom, I think chances are pretty good that she'll be single until she's 30.

Well, that narrows it down a lot. See how unsurprised I am that you'd set high standards?

There might also be a spreadsheet listing pros and cons of preschools, prep schools and colleges...

Can never be too prepared, right?

Peter didn't often borrow Willow's laptop to look at email, but he'd been up late waiting for rider to report from the south, and he was avoiding work bored.

When he saw the email, he was very happy he'd checked it.

Anakin and Rory,

You both have my most heartfelt congratulations. Juliet is as beautiful as her mother.

Alex is as brilliant as his mother. He chose well which parent to take after. He seems to change every day. It's rather astonishing.

Saying that I'm looking forward to it doesn't quite convey the amount of terror I'm also feeling in the numerous ways I could warp her, but she looks just like Rory (though Rory, of course, disagrees), and I have no doubt she will grow up to be equally ingenious.

PS: Did yours come with a hat too?
