IT'S A BABY-BONANZA!




Good morning, residents! Did you sleep well? You're going to need all the energy you can muster because congratulations: You're parents! Again! The Paradisa Stork has paid some very lucky residents a visit last night, and even moved them to a more kid-friendly environment.

Some of you may already recognize your little bundle of joy and--my, how they've grown! Others will have to get acquainted with their little rugrats. You may not know them, but they certainly know you. By they way? They're bored. And hungry! And they want all the attention you could possibly give them.

It's going to be a long week.

(ooc: Use this as a catch-all post! This will be the only mass post for the Sunny Skies Retreat, so you may use it for any day that you'd like. Feel free to make your own posts and/or sections whenever you'd like!

I bet. [If he woke up with Kara or Cass, he would have felt all kinds of awkward, even though the two of them are his friends.]

While I'm sure you're itching to hear about my castle-baby adventures with another guy, I'll spare you the details. This is already going a lot smoother.

How old do you think he is? [Kneels down next to her, resting a hand on Jack's back.]

He looks like he's somewhere around eight or nine months. [But when you have limited experience with babies older than newborns, it's hard to tell.]

[personal profile] secondchances 2013-05-20 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
I think maybe a little younger than that. Don't quote me, though. I just worked alongside Leslie, I didn't become her.
dorkwonder: (pic#5495861)

[personal profile] dorkwonder 2013-05-20 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
How old would you guess?
secondchances: (COLLEGE)

[personal profile] secondchances 2013-05-20 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe half a year? I'm not sure. He's tiny and squishy.
dorkwonder: (pic#5504659)

[personal profile] dorkwonder 2013-05-20 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
He is, isn't he? [Some panic sets in. They are responsible for this child's every need.]

Do you know that compared to other mammals, human babies are one of the most helpless species? Recent research suggests it's because of the mother's metabolism. Considering how long we live, babies should be inside of their mothers for much longer. But the mother's metabolism cannot withstand having another being inside of it that takes up so much resources.

[Rambling science in his nervousness.]
secondchances: (PUNS)

[personal profile] secondchances 2013-05-20 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Eyes glaze over as he rambles. Is he freaking out? Probably.]

Tim, sweetie... breathe. [She pats his head.]
dorkwonder: It's a waste of time (Default)

[personal profile] dorkwonder 2013-05-20 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
See, in previous studies it was believed that it was because of the female's narrow birth canal but...[Stops himself when she pats his head. Blinks a couple of times, glancing up at her hand, and then over at her.]

Right, he'll be okay. He's got us. [Breeaatthhs.]
secondchances: (AVERAGE)

[personal profile] secondchances 2013-05-20 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Think of it this way. If my parents were able to get me from birth to adulthood, we are definitely qualified to take care of a baby for a few days.
dorkwonder: (Concerned citizen.)

[personal profile] dorkwonder 2013-05-20 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
I know, you're right. [Studies Jack for awhile longer.] It's just like you said...he's so tiny. Look at how tiny his fingers are compared to ours.
secondchances: (CLASSMATES)

[personal profile] secondchances 2013-05-20 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
You wanna hold him? Babies sleep like rocks, I'm sure we can transfer without him waking up.
dorkwonder: (WELP)

[personal profile] dorkwonder 2013-05-20 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, I can, yeah. I can hold him. [Cautiously hold his arms out for Jack.]
secondchances: (ENTER)

[personal profile] secondchances 2013-05-20 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She carefully sits up and deposits the baby into Tim's arms.]

Here, take the chair, too.

[She'll just sit on the arm of it.]

[personal profile] dorkwonder 2013-05-20 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Settles down on the armchair with the baby, keeping him cradled close to his chest. Having Jack next to him like this helps ease his nerves.]

My dad would have been a great grandfather. I was half expecting him to have a child with Dana, once everything settled down and I became an adult.
secondchances: (ORANGE)

[personal profile] secondchances 2013-05-20 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Her mom would probably have a heart attack right now. She rests a hand on Tim's leg as he talks about his father.]

My mom would probably love to have a kid to spoil once I had a steady life situation going on.
dorkwonder: (Neutral| Contemplating)

[personal profile] dorkwonder 2013-05-20 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Thinking about how Dana never had a chance to be a mother depresses him. Dana never tried to replace his mother, but she became family to him. How many times did she have his back when his father was upset with him? she never did it to score brownie points with him. He could tell she did it because she believed it was the right thing.

Just then, Jack stirs in his arms, cooing happily. Smiles, shifting his thoughts away from Bludhaven and back to Steph.]


I think so, too. [Not going to tell Steph how her mother sob over her casket, crying out for her little girl to come back to her.

...Why does his life have so many depressing memories in it.]

[personal profile] secondchances 2013-05-20 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Thinking of our parents as grandparents is weird.

... is this kiddo technically an honorary Wayne?
dorkwonder: (Offering a helping hand.)

[personal profile] dorkwonder 2013-05-20 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
He is. From what you've told me and I read in some of my older journals, I was legally adopted by Bruce. Which means he's also Bruce's grandson.
secondchances: (CANDY)

[personal profile] secondchances 2013-05-20 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
He'd have a heart attack.
dorkwonder: (I was happier then.)

[personal profile] dorkwonder 2013-05-20 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
He wouldn't. After you--disappeared, he tried to adopt me [Doesn't remember Bruce's second attempt, thanks to the castle.] His heart was really in it. The same way his heart was in it when he adopted Cass. I know he's not always the most emotional guy, but family means a lot to him.
secondchances: (AWKWARD)

[personal profile] secondchances 2013-05-20 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
No, I don't doubt that. I mean about [motions to the two--three--of them] this. Bruce is not the biggest Stephanie Brown fan, you know that. He'd have his big, big, big doubts.
dorkwonder: It's a waste of time (Default)

[personal profile] dorkwonder 2013-05-20 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
Bruce has changed since he returned. He's more humanized and relaxed than he's been in years. You'd be surprised.

[that being said...] But, if this was taking place in Gotham and not here..then yeah, he'd have big, big doubts. All of us would.
secondchances: (DRIP)

[personal profile] secondchances 2013-05-20 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
... I slapped him, you know. When he came back. [TINY SMIRK...]

Yeah. No kiddies for us in Gotham. Not anytime soon. [And not with each other.]
dorkwonder: (pic#5498295)

[personal profile] dorkwonder 2013-05-20 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
[HOLD UP.]...You slapped Bruce?
