"Because she wants to spend time with you," Dark replied, like it was simple and obvious, "and because when she is here, she is much more limited in what she can do, both because of her pregnancy and her disability," he gestured towards the yard, "she could not have run like that, not now. She never would have been able to succeed in chasing you down, and she cannot zig-zag like that, not in this yard, anyway, but if it were last year she would still be able to run. It is never easy, being the only one unable to do what everyone else does," he nodded to Alec, "or could, if they chose to. And it must be isolating--when she comes come, we can tell her what we did, and she never gets to be a part of it."
He sighed, thinking deeply about it. Certainly it was also compounded by the fact she was the only woman amongst them, which separated her in other ways, "And you will still see us, after the baby comes. It is not like we are shutting ourselves up in the nursery until the baby reaches a certain age: we will be around, babies sleep a lot. What do you think parents do when they have a baby and a toddler? They do not leave the two year old to their own devices. We will not disappear," Dark seemed very certain of this. It would be different, he knew that, but they would not have completely separate lives. They still planned to spend most of their day downstairs, so they and the baby would not be kept in isolation. That would drive them really crazy. Although, if the twins expected them to do so, Dark realized they may be unprepared for some of what was to come, "...And, you must excuse me, because I am well aware this is awkward to mention, but since Daizi in particular will not be locking herself away... Are you prepared for when the baby eats? I know her, and she is not going to throw a blanket over her shoulder or scurry off to a different room in her own home."
It seemed unlikely they had considered that particular reality of a baby in the house, but he didn't linger on the thought more than he needed to. It was enough to mention it, instead he said, "And I suppose we will see if it does drive her crazy, being home, since she is taking a much longer leave than I am, since I am limited to only twelve weeks, we do not want to put the baby into daycare as a, well, baby, and her work is accommodating with these things. And because she supplies certain things the baby will need."
