“Push, dear. The baby needs some help.”

“I’m pushing! I’m pushing! Holy fuck it fucking hurts!”

“Let’s not expose the baby to such harsh language.”

“I spent a year on a fucking island with no indoor plumbing! I’ve earned my right to say ‘fuck’ as much as I fucking please!”

“Maybe try ‘hecking’ instead?”

“So the psychic Voidcritters are really cool!”

“I’ve never taken a train! Mayhew usually drives me around in our limo, but Daddy and Papa are thinking about getting me a helicopter when I become a teen! Aren’t you excited for your teen transition, Renee?”

“Uh, not really. But I’m looking forward to being old enough to understand those boy bands you like. Maybe when I’m a teen, I’ll like them.”

“So, Beau, did you change your mind about visiting my sister? They have the strawberry banana baby food you like so much. Edie’s willing to share if you come with.”

“I told you, I’m not going. I have work all week! Plus, your sister’s wife always gives me dirty looks!”

“I know you’ve got at least three vacation days, and Val shouldn’t be a problem since she’ll be out with that… librarian glasses club thing of hers. You’ll be fine.”

“Okay, then what about that stupid cat of hers? I’m allergic to cats. I could die!”

“No, you just sneeze all day and complain. You can take something, can’t you?”

“Uhh, I’m pretty sure it’s rude to sleep all day at someone else’s house!”

“Fine, fine! Don’t go! I swear to the Watcher you’ve got an excuse for everything!”

“… Wait. What was that earlier? About the strawberry banana baby food?”

“Oh, hey Edie! What’s up?”

“Yes, I heard about the baby! Congratulations! Mason, right?”

“Well, I’d love to see him, but Beau isn’t so willing. You know him, he’s got an excuse to get out of everything he doesn’t want to do.”

“I can always try. I’ll tell him about the strawberry banana baby food, too, if I have to.”

Angela and Lillith discuss their plans for the little ones.

Angela is dead set on Renee being the most popular girl in school, maybe even bring in beauty pageant prize money. Mary Sue and Kaylynn already have contacts with a few modelling agencies, just waiting for a gig perfect for their little granddaughter.

Lillith, on the other hand, just wants Louis to not grow up to be a nerd.
