Catching up with the babbies

Let's have a look in on the two youngest members of the family. Vincent, despite a rough start of being dumped on Edward due to being a bastard child, is doing well. His new and obviously much more well-suited father has been teaching him some nice new words and concepts.

Such as weddings.

Art.

Friendship.

Forgiveness.

...the Loch ness monster...

Of course.

He's got a load of different toys too.

Cute, as long as he doesn't keep a love of ponies into adulthood.

He's also learning how to walk. Everything's all fine and good.

Mostly.

Edward worries that Vincent will start to look like his biological father as he grows up. He knows that the baby doesn't resemble him at all, and that the cover story (that he was the result of a brief fling) doesn't fit at all. Under threat from Tate, however, he doesn't really see any other way.

Charon isn't 100% on all the details. One day a baby appeared from nowhere to be Edward's son. There's never been any evidence of Edward having a girlfriend. He was homeless for over 10 years, and judging his personality, he doesn't really appear to be the man who would just get a woman pregnant. And where is this woman? Nope, Charon suspects that the baby came from someone else entirely.

He's happily adjusted to having Vincent around, though, and doesn't mind playing with the kid.


Over at the triplets' home, baby Julius is a few months younger. Let's look in on him-

oh goddamn it


He recently became a toddler. So how is he doing?

His brother Tristan...is Tristan.

Carmella loves the fact that someone else is finally willing to play dolls with her. Sure, he may not really understand it, but he's happy enough.

Zeus would prefer it if the kid was a little less noisy, but he loves him nevertheless.

On the whole, life is okay for Julius for the time being.

“So my coworkers aren't the most helpful people in the world, but overall I like the job. Tell you what though, Saraya joked the other day that I should do one of those sexy firemen calendars...”

“Maybe you should. We'd both buy one.”

“Has she even seen you naked yet?”

“Uh, no... I'm kinda putting it off to tell you the truth.”

“So she doesn't even know? Dude, she's your girlfriend! If you can't tell her who can you tell?”

“I know, I know, but I don't know how to bring it up! And what if she doesn't react well? It'll be the end of us!”

“You can't avoid it forever. She has to see you nude at some point, right? This is something that'll make or break you. If she's okay with it, great. If not, then she's not the girl for you.”

“Oh, come on Heath! Don't be so doom and gloom. She might not have a problem with it!”

“But she probably will. I should have told her ages ago but I was so nervous in actually getting with her in the first place. You know that. We've been really happy and I didn't want to ruin things so early.”

“Look, you're not ruining anything. There's nothing wrong with you and if she'd rather focus on that than how awesome you are, she's not good enough.”

“She's plenty good enough, but thank you anyway. Okay, I'll tell her next time I see her. Wish me luck...”
