Willow looked at her. “No. He reacted alright! He laughed and told me to tell engineering to bring a straw!” She shook her head and looked at her empty cup. “Better switch to tea.” She said sadly.

“Is it better?” Mel asked with an exaggerated motion of her auburn brows. “I mean, I’m not sure about that, but I personally have lived off of caffeinated beverages, in particular raktajino, for many years now, but since I’m not a doctor, I can testify to the merits or concerns that might exist.”

Willow smiled. “I dont know but it’s what my father used to say.” She pondered quietly. “I know that as a mother what I’m about to say sounds I don’t know…stupid maybe, but I didn’t want to have children, not really I don’t think. And now well I obviously suck at it,”

Reez shook her head. “You’re not required to want and love children, Willow. Some people find it along the way, and some like you are forced into parenthood. I know it’s not the ideal situation in any way, but I do think that what you’re doing for your brother is truly wonderful. Sometimes you just need your family,” she said softly.

Willow smiled sadly. “12 years later and I still feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. And I didn’t really have much of an option.” She shook her head, “anyway enough about the mess that is my personal life, how are the twins.”

Mel exhaled. “They are good. It’s a little scary now that they are so mobile, but I think the other thing that is interesting is seeing what abilities develop and when. We know they are perceptive to external stimuli to a large degree, but whether that is just an infant thing or they are showing early development of pis abilities, I’m not sure. To be honest, for their sake I hope it’s the former, because the latter could be really hard for them.”

Willow listened and nodded as the other woman spoke. “What will you do if it is the latter?” She asked sympathetically.
