    Summary

    “Stede,” Ed asks, when they’re eating dinner with the rest of the crew.

    “Mm-hmm?” Stede hums, focused downward on Ari, trying and failing to get him to eat a bit of bitter melon. He’s not going to win, Ed already knows. Kid’s got too strong a sweet tooth, even without teeth.

    Offering Ari a tiny, squashed-up bit of his own orange, enjoying the grin and shriek of joy he gets when Ari snatches it up and shoves it into his mouth, Ed asks, “Am I doing a good job so far?”

    “Of what, darling?” Stede asks, still only half-paying attention. To Ari, he says, “Well, you like that, don’t you?”

    Ari shrieks again. Ed gives him a little bit more orange.

    “Being a dad,” Ed clarifies.

    Stede actually lifts his head, then, and seems to process what Ed’s said, now that he’s finished saying it. His light eyebrows lift, fine face crinkling, and he says, “Of course you are, Ed.”
