Notes:

Note from Kylie Lee, the archivist: this story was originally archived at Warp 5 Complex, the software of which ceased to be maintained and created a security hazard. To make future maintenance and archive growth easier, I began importing its works to the AO3 as an Open Doors-approved project in August 2016. I e-mailed all creators about the move and posted announcements, but I may not have reached everyone. If you are (or know) this creator, please contact me using the e-mail address on Warp 5 Complex collection profile.

Work Text:

Vomit ingrained in my uniform. Toys strewn over the floor. Hoshi almost broke her neck on the dumper truck yesterday. It's much bigger than Charlie.

I knew fatherhood - with Trip around and Tucker genes in the offspring - would be like this.

Bloody bedlam.

My house is full of gawpers. Mother's insisting on coming to stay. Equally ominous - so's Mrs Tucker.

I may emigrate.

My son gurgles.

My husband beams.

They're both so unspeakably beautiful I want to cry whenever I look at them. I can't believe they're real.

I can tolerate the chaos; ditto the sleepless nights.

Because they're mine.
