Well... Thought you'd want to be the first ones outside the family to know...

Looks like I'm about to be a father of four. Cian got his wish. He'll be a big brother sometime in September. He's thrilled. So is Lilith. And I couldn't be prouder.

September? Meaning she conceived almost immediately after giving birth to Cian.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Yes, yes she did. It would have been before we left the mansion.

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

So we shall be having another immortal added to the fold. I recommend taking the next nine months to do some family planning.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Theoretically, being mortal should drop the probability somewhat. But we'll be happy with all our children.

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

Theoretically. But seeing your level of restraint, I doubt that it will drop very much. In any case, felicitations.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

From what I've heard, you enjoy sex as much as the rest of us.

Aww, thanks, Mab. And I don't know if I ever properly thanked you for bringing the family so close together.

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

You best be hearing nothing, if your brother knows what's good for him.

There's no need. I was merely fulfilling my duty to my allies.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Walls aren't always soundproof, Mab.

Did you get Cian's thank-you note?

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

I am not that loud.

I did.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Not alone, maybe, but it does take two to tango, as they say.

Aw, good. We're doing our best to raise him right. Good manners and everything.

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

If you are wanting my direct assistance in curbing your ability to reproduce, please do continue to mock me in this fashion.

He is a clever and impressive child.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Mocking you? Never. You're not the one on Baby Number Four, after all.

Yeah, we're pretty proud of him. Now that he has a sibling on the way, he keeps wanting to head up to New York so he can see his would-be girlfriend.

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

No. I am not.

I suppose with his lineage that shouldn't surprise me.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Until then, you can just be a proud auntie.

Oh, he's a perfect little gentleman. But he's been sweet on Ivy practically since birth.

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

There is no "until then".

As I said, hardly a surprise considering his parentage.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Hey, I didn't plan this either.

Are you referring to my side or his mother's?

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

Your problem is you did not plan at all.

He is a son of Lilith. They are universally amorous beings. Your influence may dampen it, but not erase it.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Trust me, planning was not one of the choices I was given at the time.

Hey, father of the kings of Ireland here. I had my share of strapping boys back in the day.

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

You should learn to utilize the word "no" more often.

I was referring to the boys inclination towards romance at barely a few months old, not his health, physique, or even his prowess.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Yeah... tried that. Didn't work so well.

You've seen this kid, right? He's more like a preschooler than a baby.

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

"Didn't work", or "didn't want it to work"?

The observation still stands.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

My only choice was "willing vs. unwilling." It was going to happen either way.

I'm sure he'll make you proud.

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

I can't say I'm surprised at the news, though I admit I'm impressed at how quickly she's regained fertility.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

It's her nature, brother. She was able to bear 100 children in a single day way back when. We're just lucky I didn't sire a whole army on her.

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

...if the growth maintained acceleration..nevermind.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Yes, it would be actually feasible. But we don't know if this one will be anything like Cian.

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

This is true. I'm not about to suggest running trials.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Heh. I'm just a family man. Grandiose schemes were more your thing, bro.

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

I won't deny that.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

But, hey, if I end up with that many kids, they'd be a heck of an army.

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

You're just hoping to get lucky that many times.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Naw. Don't need to hope.

[sitsatcircles.insanejournal.com]

Congratulations. My, my.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Heh, thanks. Big families just mean extra love.
