*Meg is ~~brooding~~ ~~sulking~~ sitting in the bar looking quite reasonable. With coffee.*

"Good! Since it's twins, we're going to need all the help we can get."

Why, no, the Jedi is not bouncing. Not even a little.

...ok, maybe a little.

*Meg beams.* I promise to take care of them whenever you need a babysitter - I used to babysit for Snow all the time, I can totally handle a couple of jedi twins.

*Little does she know . . .*

"Well, they shouldn't be much trouble, not at first. And when they get older, the need for a baby-sitter should decrease."

Anakin, really, this stay-at-home-dad thing? Not one of your brighter ideas.

*Meg brightens even more.*

I can teach them ballet!

*Jedi ballerinas. Brilliant, Meg.*

"Well, we're still not sure of the sexes, but all right." Anakin assumes all ballerinas are female, since Meg is the prime example of the species as far as he knows.

The mun says that Jedi ballerinas are slightly better than Aes Sedai ballerinas. 'Cause you know, balletfire? Is pure crack.

*Because everything else around here isn't?*

Oh, boys can be ballerinas too, *Meg assures him brightly.* They don't usually wear the tutus, though.

"That's a relief, honestly."

Little does Anakin know that the twins are both girls. Double the tutu'd fun!

Not to limit anyone, *Meg adds hastily, and beams.* I got Nick in a tutu the other day -

"Really, Meg, it's all right. Not *everyone* needs to wear a tutu."

*Meg looks crestfallen.*

But I'm getting such a nice collection of photographs! I'm thinking I could publish an art book.

"That's very nice. I'll be sure to buy a copy if you do."

If it's not out of print by the time your time comes around, *Meg says sadly.*

"You could always bring a copy here, and I'll pay you."

*Meg giggles.* You can get it for free, *she says generously.* I'll even sign it!

"How nice of you. I look forward to it."
