"Well, why wouldn't they? You'd have to be right. It's you," Alec smiled. He still didn't believe it, but he was not going to discount something Daizi felt so strongly about. A tiny part of him reserved the thought that he might be wrong, and he'd be okay with that, but he'd rather not...

"Really? People pay to have their cards read?" Alec asked curiously as he stood to help Dark. "That's cool. Why don't you still do it? No time?"

"Highly informative if a little vaguer than I originally expected," Alec said seriously. "I wasn't sure what to expect, but it wasn't bad."

"We are having a discussion about cute babies, handsome Babas, and captivating Mamas," Alec informed Daizi as he struggled to keep the squirming Ivy under control until her mother came to pick her up. "I think all babies are equally adorable! Once they've passed that stage where they looked...

"You too." Xander hesitated almost too long before adding, "Thanks, Mama." He swung into his shed and started working. "Look, Ivy! There's Mama!" Alec announced cheerfully when he saw Daizi approach.

Alex looked down at Ivy. "Your father is unfair. He uses rules to his advantage. I wonder what kind of lawyer he'd make?" "I appreciated them," Xander said, which was true, even if he hadn't eaten them. "Thanks." He fiddled with the door, trying to figure out how to get out of the...

Alec made a face at Dark as he let Ivy turn him into a toy. "You are far too literal. The answer is Yes! If Ivy is the cutest ever, then you are the most handsome." Xander shrugged, edging away from Daizi. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just, you know, school stuff."

"Oof," Alec grunted when she face-planted more or less into his stomach. "I suppose you are right," he agreed to keep the peace, amused by Dark's insistence. He lifted Ivy up and turned her around so she could lean against him and watch her father. "I think the real question is, is Baba the...

Alec drew her close, letting her almost touch his face and then pulling back, teasing her lightly. "Absolutely she would! Unless only the mothers and fathers of the entrees were the judges, then all babies would come out with cutest ever, huh?" he made a face at her and bounced her a few more...

Alec sighed wearily. "I am upset," he admitted quietly, "but there's not a whole lot I can do right now, so I'm trying not to let Ivy see. I can be upset later." He smiled at Ivy. "Right? Being upset is for later!" He lifted her up and bounced her lightly, letting her feel the sensation of...

"I know she can't, but there are goodies for the rest of us!" Alec said. He sat on one of the chairs and held Ivy so she could stand on his knees or sit. "He doesn't want to talk about it. I know it's serious because he didn't even finish his lunch, but when Xander doesn't want to talk about...

"I would be impressed if someone wore the same outfit as me," Alec said with a half smile. "But I get what you mean. Well, Xander had a fight at school - a verbal one, for once - and it's really bothering him." He gave a little shrug then smiled at Ivy. "Not that you will ever know what it...

Alec smiled and held out his hands. "We'll stay in sight of Baba the whole time! And try to help him as best as we possibly can. Right? Come on! Come here and have some red hair to pull instead of black."

Alec happily closed his school books, shoving them off to the side where they wouldn't get tripped over. "School was... okay, I guess." He glanced at the tray, following Dark's look. He grabbed the lemonade and drank a bit. It was a touch warm, but no reason to let perfectly good lemonade go...

Alec glanced at the desk. "It's a thought," he admitted. "We'll discuss." He looked back up at Dark. "What's for dinner tonight? Can I help? I can either hold Ivy or follow directions as you tell me what to do. Or we could have a leftover night!" ANything would be more fun than geometry.

Alec sat on the floor with his books instead of using the perfectly good desk, so it was a simple matter to twist around and use his foot to pull open the door. "Hi! It looks like you've arrived just in time. How was your work day?" He grinned up at Dark - really far up - and waggled his...

Alec smiled and turned to give Daizi a proper hug. "You are the best," he assured her. "Thank you for trying to help. It means a lot." He let go and hurried to grab his backpack and haul it upstairs. He couldn't help the shiver of delight at Daizi's words. He was worth it! Oh, he "knew"...

"Tools are good things," Alec said carefully. "As long as they aren't misused, and, yes, I know, that's true of literally everything." He stood and stretched. "Thanks for doing the reading and trying to help. I think it did, a little, but I should probably get to my homework so I can finish...

Alec nodded thoughtfully. "That makes sense. Sounds like something easier said than done, but most things worth doing are, I suppose. Simple, yet difficult."

"Sounds like a recipe for disaster," Alec said uncertainly. "No one likes a Bossy Betty. But... I guess someone's got to be in charge somehow or it's just... anarchy." He frowned at the cards. He figured this "reading" whether it was a real one or not was helped along quite a bit by the...
