*Eponine was placidly having bonding time with her son, letting him play with her slender fingers. She smiled down at him, he smiled back, and somehow it didn't matter that he still hadn't cried.*

*Renn entered the room, and did a double take.*
"Um."

*Eponine didn't really move.*
"Um's name is Alexei. Um was born this morning, and Um has immortal ancestry, which explains the fact that it took all of three days to bring Um to term. Um's dad had largely the same reaction as you did."

*She blinked.*
"Oh. Right. Congratulations, then."
*She peered at the adorable infant, and smiled sadly, thinking about what she could have had...*

"Oh, well, I-"
*She wasn't sure if she wanted anything to do with a baby right now, but she kind of felt obligated. It was one of her best friend's baby, after all.*
"Okay."
*She held her arms out hesitantly.*

*Instead of waiting for his mom to pass him to Renn, he teleported there himself, grinning and gugrling up at her.*

*Eponine didn't really seem fazed.*

*Renn's eyes widened in shock, but she instinctually kept a good grip on the child. She'd been watching other people's kids for long enough for that. She forced a smile.*
"I can see that."
*That made her wonder if der Tod- the one she knew could have children. She wasn't sure what to make of the thought.*

*Eponine gazed at her baby, still incredibly happy about the fact that der Tod wanted to be part of his life.*
"I think we'll be seeing his dad around more often now."

"That'll be interesting," *she said, raising her eyebrows.*
*She wondered how long until der Tod would be able to be around, but stopped herself. Didn't she have enough to worry about without acting all depressed all the time?*

"He hasn't cried yet. D'you think that's normal?"

*Renn looked at the baby's face curiously.*
"Well, it's certainly unsusal..."

*Said baby giggled and swiped at her nose.*
"Eh. I'm sure he's fine." *She said, mostly to herself.* "If anything, no issues with late-night tantrums like we had with Aimee."
