"My father never liked me, though by all accounts I was a perfectly well-behaved baby. He didn't come around because he didn't really want to. Sometimes it's the opposite--someone won't come around because they love a person too much." *She said softly, trying not to wake Alexei.*

"I'm sorry to hear that." He said softly.
"I've seen it before myself, but I will still never understand it."
*He thought of Rudolph and Sisi, then quickly shoved that thought away*

"I just don't want him to have to grow up the way I did. I loved my childhood, of course, and Uncle Marius was a better father-figure than my own father ever could have been, but it would have been nice to have someone around all the time."

((Well...that's totally not awkward...))
"I think I have all but adopted him." He said sheepishly.

*She smiled.* "Be careful--I don't think my mother will readily give him up, as attached to him as you and Renn seem to be." *She teased. This was more like the normal her, when crazy psycho things weren't going on.*

*He chuckled*
"I could never take him from her. But he is free to call me uncle as much as he wants. I would happily play the part."

*She sighed.*
"I used to have this silly fantasy when I was little, that Marius and my mother would get married and then I'd really be able to call him my father. Alexei deserves a chance to know his--wishing for one isn't much fun." *She said sadly, not precisely sure why she kept divulging information.*

*He moved around the couch and sat down next to her to give her a one-armed hug around the shoulders*
"He won't have to wish for anything. Between all of us, he'll have what he needs."

*She smiled and looked down at the baby.*
"He'll get along fine. I didn't realize that I'd been missing anything until my mother had to objectively say that Marius wasn't my father. I called him Papa 'til I was 4."

*He gave her shoulder a squeeze*
"We'll make sure Alexei knows who is who."

**THIS IS MY DOPPENGANGER**
*She smiled a little before turning her attention back to the baby, who was fussing just a little.*
"Shh, Alexei." *She said, standing so that she could bounce him a little. This effectively quieted the baby.*

*He discreetly removed his arm from around her shoulders.*
"Have you heard about Renn?" He asked casually.

"She is Sisi reborn."
*There was an odd smile on his lips as he said it*

**AIMES**
*She frowned, thinking extremely hard about it.*
"That's... wierd..." *Was all she could get out.* "Really, really wierd..."
