"That sucks," Xander frowned. "There's a hell of a lot more to you than just what you look like and what parts do or don't work. You don't look that bad. Seriously, not bad enough to get abandoned like a runty puppy. If either of you are blind, it's him for not seeing what he had all along...

"That does suck, and it's kind of funny how he seems to really, really want to be around you now after ignoring you so long," Xander commented. "What's with that?"

"I thought the idea of being a stay-at-home dad was weird at first, but then I got to thinking, it's a pretty good deal," Xander admitted. "People who have stay-at-home moms have it real good, so why not stay-at-home dads? It's cool to have one home, no matter which. And he seems way happier...

Alec happily did his best to help Dark clean, sometimes pausing to smile at Ivy or make a face. Xander glanced over at Daizi. "How's things?" he asked idly.

"You always clean. It's my turn. Besides, if you spend too long in the kitchen, you might start cooking something," Alec said, playfully batting Xander away. Xander held up his hands in defeat. "Okay, okay, I'll go!" He wandered away into the living room and plopped down on one end of the...

Xander didn't get it, but a part of him knew he didn't get it, and he wasn't sure he wanted to. There were some things that were better forgotten, he thought. "I'm glad you're okay now," he said simply, but he really, really meant it. Alec hopped up happily. "So! When are we having this...

"That's fair," Xander agreed. He told Dark and Daizi the times that Milo had told him. "We plan water only. No rocks at any buildings." Alec rested his chin in his hand and studied Dark. "I'm glad you are who you are, but I'm sorry you had to go through what you did to get here."

"I mentioned Milo. Earlier when Mama said she was worried about her flowers," Xander pointed out. "Oh, he'll be super careful!" Alec agreed happily.

"Sounds like fun!" Alec chirped at the exact moment Xander said, "Sounds suspicious." "In either case, you can join in, if you want," Alec said. "Right, Xander? Seeing as this is your party you haven't actually invited me to." Xander very gently backed Alec's shoulder. "I was talking to...

"That's not a bad idea, and we should establish when it's going to happen, but can we back up to when you said you were a baby lion?" Xander asked, frowning in confusion. "Are lion cubs like... a club of some sort?" Alec asked, also puzzled.

"That he'd be too good," Xander said. "Could do Sloan." "Sloan's a great choice! I bet she'd like to do something out of the ordinary for a while," Alec grinned. "I'll ask, and if she says no, I'll ask Peter," Xander agreed. "If both say no, it's no team ups."

"We'll definitely pick up the bits, and it's with Milo. He's about as careful as you get," Xander said. After a thoughtful pause, he added, "Maybe we should invite one other to make it an even four." "Baba could join, and maybe Mama," Alec said. "I said an even four, as in fair."

"Speaking of relaxed, how do you feel about a water balloon fight in the backyard?" Xander asked. "Ooo, when did that become a thing? Am I invited?" Alec grinned.

Alec tried to duck Dark's hair ruffling and giggled when he couldn't dodge. "Of course you do. You win this round of love." He turned Ivy around so she could look at Dark. "Do you want to abandon your big brother to go hang out with your boring Baba? Hmm?" "I feel like I woke up in a...

Xander thanked Daizi and took his meds and sipped the tea slowly. Tea was pretty good, he supposed. Alec gasped when Ivy squeaked super loud and looked at her father. "What's this?" he blustered, puffing out his cheeks. "You prefer your father over your own brother? Why, why, why, you...

Xander shrugged. "Something that helps the head, please. I'm not sure which that would be." "Soon, you'll be old enough to give it a try, and then you can have all the tea you want!" Alec assured Ivy, helping her bounce. He lifted her up so she could stand on his knees.

"Kind of. Not really." Xander plopped into a chair, slumped over the counter. "Can I ask for some tea, please? You make it better than me." "I can do it!" Alec offered. "You burned the water last time. I didn't know that was actually possible," Xander grumbled.

"I think she likes it out here, that's for sure," Alec said around Ivy's fingers. "I like her out here, too!" Xander came in slowly. He was still in the same clothes from the day before, having not bothered to change. "What's out here?" he asked, rubbing his forehead. He had a slight...

Alec gasped and held Ivy up. "Are you a whole seven months old? Are you? That's so cool! That means you are only five months away from your birthday! Can you believe you've been alive on this planet for so long?"

Alec brightened and smiled happily. "Yay! I look forward to that." He stepped away from Daizi and asked, "Do you need any help with breakfast? Or should I hold Ivy for you?"
