Oh, and you'll love Flora, she's like Theo's daughter..! She's quite tech-savvy, I've heard!

Oh, most definitely! Theo loves secrets and puzzles, so that would be wonderful for him! Especially if there's some he hasn't found yet.

Haha, alright..! I'm sure Theo's going to love seeing the train again.

I don't see why not! I'm looking forward to introducing you to everyone at home as well.

We'll just have to wait and see, I suppose!

Hm, maybe... I'm not sure, because— well, no, actually! Probably not.
Do you recall when Desmond passed through to give a note to Hershel? I believe he stayed young the whole way over.

Well, if we go based on our birth years, you are! But you're 14 and I'm in my 40s right now, so that's a whole different story, haha!

We'll make sure you get to be older than we are now, okay?
(He chuckled softly.)
Of course it does, my dear, you don't have to worry about that anymore.

Seems there is such a thing as being too careful, haha..! Thank you for being patient with me, my dear..

Alright, I will, haha...
I'm sorry if I've ever made you feel like you were doing something wrong... I suppose I've been nervous about being a dad and being overly cautious, haha...

Sorry, hah... I'll try to get less weird about stuff soon, alright..?

Now I'm sitting on the couch with my now fiancé and a wonderful girl who wants to be our daughter... who has made it clear she wants this almost as much as she wants to walk on the moon and touch the stars.
What more could I possibly ask for..?

Well, I used to want one of my own... when I was really young. Long before I met a boy named Elijah on summer vacation.
After that, I realized it would never be in the cards for me specifically, because two men can't make their own baby.
So I gave up that idea before I even turned 15.

You can't be a daughter wrong, ny dear. There's a million and one ways to be someone.
I suppose that goes for me as well... I often worry I'm being a dad all wrong. But neither of us have blown anything up yet, so I'd say we're doing fine.

(He wrapped an arm around her shoulders.)
If being your dad had ever upset me, I would've said something far sooner. And you don't have to be related to be family.
With helping you get changed, it's... a personal thing. I suppose my parents drilled the idea into my head, but I'm not certain...

It's improper— the only girl I've helped change was my sister, and that was when she was much younger than you.
