Bastion- Wednesday

[solo_sword]

The last time Jag had texted for Jaina, she'd been in the hospital after the worst day of her life.

This time, the setting was similar, but the reasons were very different.

Once everything had settled down and Jag had finally kicked everybody out to let the family spend some time alone, Jaina asked him to get a picture of the twins and send out a message to those who'd want to know. She'd have done it herself, but she'd done enough today, thank you.

So along with a picture of two little, wrinkly baby boys, they'd get the message, Meet Dax and Daniel. They and Jaina are doing well.

"You couldn't have spiced that up a little?" Jaina asked when she saw what he'd sent.

"And how would you have wanted me to do that?" Jag asked.

"Tell them that if they say my babies look like Yoda I'll end them as soon as I can feel my legs again."

"Ah. You should lead with that next time."

They are adorable, Anakin sent back immediately. Rory wants to know if they need matching outfits. (They're getting matching outfits from Rory, FYI.)

[solo_sword]

Only if they're different colors! I can't tell them apart by sight yet.

Oops.

[sith_happened]

Put permanent marker on Dax's big toe. By the time it washes off, you'll figure it out.

There was a pause.

Rory thought it was easier to steal my comm, apparently.

[solo_sword]

I am going to do that! Thank you Rory! We're about to get extremely sleep deprived, anything to make it easier.

[sith_happened]

I can send you terrible Earth coffee, but that won't help, Anakin wrote.

[solo_sword]

The good thing is I have multiple experiences fighting for several days on zero sleep, so I feel at least a little prepared.

[sith_happened]

You're not, but it's good to be optimistic.

Thanks, Anakin.

Make Jag do more than his share, too. Diapers don't just change themselves and babies seem to wait to get a new one on just to mess it up again.

[solo_sword]

Oh, he knows. It was part of our talk before we even did this. Of course that was before our kids ended up having to be Imperial citizens soooo

[sith_happened]

...you're the first Imperials to actually have children, huh.

The thought of the Emperor having sex was terrifying.

[solo_sword]

Depended on which canon you were looking at.

Yep. It's going to be really weird!

At least she was honest.

[sith_happened]

Very! Anakin agreed. ...probably not badly.

[solo_sword]

It'll be fine. We'll just screw our kids up differently than other parents.

[sith_happened]

As the self-appointed king of screwing kids up, you'll be fine.

[momslilassassin]

Hi, Dax and Daniel! You only look a little like Yoda

Someone was gonna do it.

[solo_sword]

I will hurt you.

Definitely not Jag texting now.

[momslilassassin]

You have to catch me first! How are you feeling?

[solo_sword]

Ow.

That summed it up.

A lot better since everybody else got kicked out.

[momslilassassin]

Not sorry to have no experience with that part of parenthood, he admitted. Kidding aside, cute kids. How'd you come up with the names?

[solo_sword]

They sounded good?

And then, Didn't want to name them after anyone, kind of wanted to keep the alliteration going, plus they had to sound good with Prince or Emperor in front of it.

Sigh.

[momslilassassin]

Just for that I'm going to come up with super-irritating childhood nicknames for them to keep their egos in check.

Such a giver, that Ben.

[solo_sword]

Between this and the Yoda thing it's looking like your birthday party invitation might get lost...

[momslilassassin]

I promise not to call them Yoda? Ben wheedled.

[solo_sword]

We'll talk. They're too little for nicknames yet anyway. They barely have names.

[momslilassassin]

Are they awake at all? I remember Val being basically a lump that ate and pooped for two months.

[solo_sword]

Not right now. They've had a long day, they've earned it.
