He seemed to think about it for a moment then nodded. "I suppose I can wait." Letting his father carry him inside then and give another suggestion. Usually whatever daddy wanted to do, he wanted to do. Unless it was scary, then he didn't want to do it. "We can do that. We're good at that." For some reason daddy was better at it, but he couldn't figure out why. Wrigglign through as Piper came into sight until he was put down and he scampered over to her, hugging around her legs. "I love you mommy." That was always a good opening.
Blinking at her legs beging squeezed she looked down and smiled at the boy, ruffling his hair. "I love you too dear." Turning her look up to Malik who followed after thier soon a few moments later. Well well, looked like his little talk with thier son wasn't so bad and the child was just fine about things. "All is well?"
Smoothing a hand over the boy's head in soothing fashion, "Shh..it's alright. You see, it's a risk everyone takes when they have babies. Even your own mother would be risking things. But you see, though we may want things, we're not stupid either...we know when to stop. If Piper knew that she wasn't going to make it because of trying to have a baby, she wouldn't. Mommy thinks that Piper wouldn't do that so she's more adamant about it...and as a healer, your mom is used to people being stubborn. I fuss everytime she touches my face."

"All is well, everything is fine."
walking over and giving her a kiss, and one hand around her waist, just for fun giving her rump a squeeze.
"We had a talk, and things are smoothed out. So...what are you up to in here?"

"Oh good." A look at him. "You have an animal on your shoulder." Watching as said animal barked at her and then jumped down to duely tackle thier son and the two took to rolling around the kitchen floor. Which was a bit funny, seeing as the staff was just so used to this kind of thing that they just casually stepped over them. A little start at his squeezing though before setting him with a playful look. "Suprivising dinner since I'm no good at cooking it so much? I like to lord over things from time to time you know...hm, I wonder where I got that from.

So having babies meant problems might occur? "Then how come she asked us both if we wanted a brother or sister, Daddy? I don't want one if it's going to hurt her or make her die..." Nope, unhappy elf right now. "Can't Piper be happy with Malikhai the way you are with me? You are with just me, right?"
Why did he need a brother or sister anyway? They had him just like Malikhai's parents had him. "She doesn't like it when patients hurt themselves. It makes her give them health and that never tastes good and makes you feel icky most of the time before you feel better." Though a blink for a moment. "Daddy? Where do babies come from?"

"It's just something that happens in life. LIke when you want to learn something new, you know there's a possibility of you getting hurt, but you do them anyway. Sometimes you do just fine and sometimes you get hurt. You can't go through life being scared of things because you know you may get hurt or sick, or you're never going to do anything ever again."
A shake of his head. "Yes, I'm happy with just you. But that's not what having more babies is all about. They want a bigger family, more children to give love to and give lives to." Patting the boys back and then a blink. Damn question. "From mommys. Sometimes, a daddy will give a mommy a special gift and that turns into a baby." Sounded innocent enough.

"How nice to know I'm rubbing off on you. Though you could always learn to do some cooking too. I bet Malikhai here woudl love to help you with it."
A slight grin at his wife and son playing with his pet.
"you know, I wonder what will happen when they get bigger."
A grin to his wife, and a pat on her tummy, flicking his tongue over the edge of her ear lightly.
"Feeling better?"

"Oh, so it would be okay for both Piper and Mommy to have a baby? Even though it might hurt them?" He sort of got it though he wasn't too pleased knowing his mother might get hurt. "Like if Mommy never went back to Twilight again because Malik might push her down and give her a headache. Then she'd miss out on drinking tea with Piper. Her tea is a really funny color though Daddy. Doesn't look like the tea we have here."
"And making me a big brother." He processed a moment and then nodded getting rather excited. A gift...those were great! "Presents are fun. Can I see it? Do you have it with you now?" Reaching for his pockets. "Are you going to give it to Mommy soon?"

"You already cornered the market on cooking with the child. Another aspect you and Zahara have shared. It would all be, 'well daddy does it this way' and I'm not going to compete. I teach the fun outdoorsy things." Watching the two on the floor constantly bowling each other over. "Hopefully they'll move it outside...and if that thing gets the better of him, I'm going to just giggle since he'll still be bigger." A look down at he pat at her stomach though she almost fell over at that feeling aginst her ear, one hand grabbing to his arm to keep herself up...ambush. "A bit. Thins just have to go as they wish. What you looking to get in on the baby game already?"
"That's right. And in the end, when they were having thier babies, it would hurt anyway. Babies coming out of tummies isn't the most enjoyable thing for mommies. Afterwards is though." Why was he having this conversation? "That's right...and she wouldn't be happy missing out on that." Though the boy was smart in thinking that wasn't tea...because it was wine. "It's grown up tea."
"Yes and making you a big brother." Ruffling his son's hair some. And then the present anaology kinda backfired on him and he grabbed the boy around the waist, holding him up so he stopped trying to search pockets. "No it's one of those private things. Like locked bathroom doors." A blink though about the soon part. "I can't just give the present to her if she doesn't want to have a baby right now..."

"I hurt her too, didn't I?" He was quiet, glacning down at his hands. "She wasn't real happy afterwards either. I didn't even see her, just you." He'd reveried about it recently and remembered the screams that had frightened him, the lights, and hte sounds and then his father's voice which he recognized and seeing that pair of red eyes for the first time.
He blinked for another moment and then nodded. "Oh you haven't made it yet, have you? You gotta feed it to Mommy and then she swallows it and it grows. But make sure you're careful when you make it Daddy. She won't swallow it if it doesn't look or taste right. I could taste it for you but I don't want a baby in my tummy..." Another pause and a few more questions came to him. "How does it know to stay in her tummy though? And how come her tummy knows it's not food? She still has to eat even though she's big and fat, right?" Oh what fun questions.
Then another grin, "She asked me if I wanted to be a big brother. That means she's ready now!" Hopping off his father's lap and standing on the couch. "I'm gonna be a big brother!"

"Not yet. just trying to make you feel better. and besides, I do dinners. you could always handle lunches and breakfasts. and cookies. I'm not good with doughy things."
A smirk at her.
"But I got everything that needed covered covered, and he's quite content to have another baby. and Zahara questioning him on it is a good sign, means she's reconsidering her first opinion on the matter."

"It's not your fault son. She just...wasn't quite ready to be a mommy yet. She thought she was, but she wasn't. That's why it was just me taking care of you for a while." Rubbing lightly at the boy's back...he didn't like it when his son thought about such things. They were all better left forgotten.
Don't think bad thoughts Sevilin, don't think bad thoughts. "It's kinda more like a magic thing you know. Works like that." There that was easy enough to quell questions. To the child, well magic usually solved every question. It was mysterious like that. "And never call mommy big and fat. You say she's puffy with life. Rememebr that." OH that was a wonderful tidbit to pass on. He watched the child jump around a moment. She had been on that hypothetical baby kick...Sevilin rubbed at the back of his neck. "That doesn't necessarily mean she's ready, and you just got a pet. Being a big brother is a lot harder and you have to do things that make you really think about them later...how about we learn to take care of pet first?"
And at the same time...the thought of his son being an older brother scared the hell out of him. Why? He was once an older brother to his two younger. He had let one be murdered and the other he had murdered himself...he didn't want his son turning out like he had or doing things he had. What if the child could reationalize things done wrong were right in the wrong context? He was thinking way too hard on this...and probably another reason why he never engaged Zahara in baby conversation.
"Well you always do a good job of making me feel better." Turning to face him and fitting herself to him, lacing her arms around his neck lightly. "I do travel food remember? Zahara cornerd the cookie's though. Hers are apparently the best." Giving him a light nod. "Long as he's not upset, that's the important part. Though I don't know if Zahara woudl fall to our side by mere say of the child...would just be nice if she had a tiny bit more faith in me. I've proven myself before on other matters."

Magical present that somehow turned into a baby and kept his mommy's tummy from getting rid of said baby and still let his mommy eat. The world was a wonderfully mysterious place, wasn't it? "What about humans? Do they get special presents too even though they can't do magic?" Puffy with life, that made it sound much better to his little ears anyway. Fat wasn't a nice word at all and women got very upset when you used it. "Okay but he's gotta hatch first."
Simple as that really and he settled himself back in his father's lap and leaned against him. "I wouldn't mind being a big brother though. Tell Mommy that when she's ready, I'm ready too." He was quiet for a moment and then he tugged on his father's braid. "Daddy, who made Mommy fall?"

"Humans ask for the present." Now he had to stick to the magic present thing. Geeze how did he get into these things? Oh yes, had a child. At least the boy was being compliant though. "Good, because you know if you ever wanted to hold a baby you have to prove that you can first." Patting at the boy's back again as he had plopped down. "I'll make sure to tell her." And then a sigh. "Malik made her fall, you know how much those two fight. But I had a talk with Malik and with mommy, so maybe they'll be a bit better now. Okay?"

"From elves? Can you give your present to Keely if you wanted too?" All kinds of fun questions popping up now. "What if I wanted to give a special present to her? Can I do that since I'm a man too?" He went contemplative for a moment and then reached down into his father's tunic and extracted the ferret who had taken up residence in there once again. "You hold them like this." Cradling the ferret much like a baby should be held. "The book says you gotta hold their necks too 'cause babies can't hold up their heads by themselves. Not strong enough."
Frowning for a moment, he scratched Nym behind the ears and gave him a gold coin then crossed his arms. "I don't want him to hurt her anymore, Daddy. You get mad at her and don't hurt her. And he gets mad at Piper and doesn't hurt her either." A glance up the stairs and he pushed back against his father's chest again. "Can we go see her? Make sure she's okay?"

"Well not just from elves. And yes, because shes' a woman. And you, my son, are still a boy. You can't give a present of that sorts to anyone yet and it's something you shouldn't be worrying about anyway at this age." Blinking as the boy pulled out the sleepy ferret, demonstrating. "Yes, but a baby is heavier than Nym. And what book?" Why was the child reading such books? Watching Nym a moment who took the coin and duely crawled back into his tunic. "I know, but I'm trying to make that better. Don't worry." Followed by a nod. "I think we should, come on." Setting the boy to the floor. "Don't forget your egg so you can put it in your room."
