Fitz knocked on the door of the apartment. He had heard a rumor that his papa had fathered a little girl. If this was true, then that meant he had a new sister, right? He tapped his foot, fidgeting as he waited to meet her. He hoped she was nicer than his twin.

*Eponine opened the door, looking for someone who had knocked. It took her a second to realize that it was a toddler.*
"Hello?" *She asked, somewhat confused.* "Are you here with an adult?"

Fitz shook his head. "I'm fine, though, don't worry." He looked behind the lady. "Is this where my new sister lives?"

*She laughed, suddenly recognizing him.*
"You're Fitz, John's son, right?"

"Yuh-huh," he replied. "And Papa had another daughter, right? So, isn't she my sister?"

*Eponine grinned.*
"Yes, that would make her your half-sister. Do you want to meet her?"

He grinned and nodded excitedly. But then he thought of something. "Wait, a half-sister? Is she missing her lower half or something?"

*Eponine grinned, showing him in and seating him on the couch next to the giant white teddy bear.*
"No, it means that you two have the same papa, but not the same mama. If you had the same mama but a different papa, it would be the same way. Let me just go get her--it's about time for her to wake up from her nap."

He nodded, understanding instantly. "Yeah, sometimes Mama has to wake me up, too. I sleep a ton!" he babbled.

*Eponine smiled when she brought in Aimee, who was just waking up. She brought the baby over to Fitz.*
"This is Aimee-Cosette, your half-sister."

He smiled at her, peering into her big blue eyes. "Wow," he said, looking up at the woman. "She's real pretty. Are you her mama?"

*Eponine smiled.*
"Yes, I'm Aimee's mama." *Aimee chose that moment to burble happily, reach out, and grab Fitz's nose. Eponine laughed.*
"She does that to everyone. You should have seen her with Marius--she was grabbing all over his face."

He cocked his head while pulling her hand off of his nose. "Who's Marius? Your boyfriend or something? That'd be nice for Aimee, 'cause then she could have a papa who lived with her. I wish Mama had a boyfriend. Papa doesn't like me much, I don't think."

*Eponine laughed softly, putting one hand on Fitz's shoulder comfortingly.*
"No, Marius isn't my boyfriend. He's just a very good friend of mine. And I'm sure John likes you, he's just difficult to understand."

He shook his head. "Nah, he always rolls his eyes when I start talking about a book I read or sumpin' like that. I mean, once I read this book called Uncle Tom's Cabin, and he got all mad at me and started yelling something about abolitionists."
