So, uh... I have been informed that I guess we're doing a baby-girl shower for Lilith's and my soon-to-be-arriving daughter...

Anyone who'd want to come would be welcome to do so. Esther's got all the details.

Devin and Harper are both normal mortals and leading normal lives. Cian and Eireann are under different circumstances--they're immortal.

Washington state. It kind of happened faster than I thought.

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

Oh, that's right. I did hear that babies born from two gods had one heck of a growth spurt. I'm sure you'll still enjoy every moment, though. That's a lovely name.

[blood-dog.insanejournal.com]

Usually is.

Anyway, congratulations. I hope you and your family have an easy delivery and good health.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

If Eireann's birth is anything like her big brother's, it'll be easy as pie.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, they grow like weeds. Extremely cute weeds.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

This sounds like a good story. Do tell.

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

That's the best kind of weeds. I look forward to meeting them all some day. Kids are so much fun.

[unbiaseddeath.insanejournal.com]

And they live together?

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Well, long story short, I'm moving out to be with Erato. I proposed to her and there's no way I can imagine a transcontinental marriage.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Excellent! Have you two set a date yet?

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

We might as well. Technically, Lilith and Cian live next door, but we're always coming and going between the two properties.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Didn't you get to meet them all back in June?

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

We're still working on that. I'm afraid I'm going to end up being the stereotypical "whatever you want" guy. I never gave much thought to weddings before.

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

Yes and no. It was a little hectic, remember? The kids were pretty much swept up by you parents and totally 100% rightly so. :)

[unbiaseddeath.insanejournal.com]

How do you explain their mortality to them?

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

So this makes four children now?

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll get a chance again soon.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Might be a good time to brush up on that. If Erato's anything like Carmen was, she'll want you to be active in the planning process.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

There's not much to explain. It was the whole "Dad's a god" thing that was harder for them to understand, at least at first.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

For me, yes. You've got some catching up to do, brother.

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

I am nowhere close to being inclined to having A child, let alone more than one, thank you very much.

I'm curious, is this going to become a trend? To be honest I'm not poking fun, but rather attempting to do the math if you continue to have a new child year after year like this.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

It's possible. A lot of it depends on Lilith, though.

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

May I suggest that you start practicing some form of contraception? In today's economy a large family would not be advantageous.

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure she's going to want me involved but I don't have a clue. It took me long enough to write her song. I can't even imagine how long it would take me to pick out flowers or something.
