Joe and Adam were right. I am a woman! All these men becoming fathers and goddammit. I wanna be one. I don't get to be one, but I wish I did. I never did while I was alive, obviously. But I see how happy it makes Peter and how Pierre and David and Ethan are all...lit up and happy and chirpy about their kids. Dammit. Not...to them. I'm glad they feel that way! It makes me so endlessly happy. But then I feel this bittersweet pang in knowing I won't ever have that. I think I'd be a really good dad, as long as I had kids with someone who could maybe explain that climbing trees and then jumping off them to see if you can fly ISN'T such a good idea after all.
But the dead can't create life. So I suppose I will have to be Uncle Thomas. All in all, it's a damn good thing to be anyway.

I'm sorry that you feel this way, Thomas. I'm sorry you're in a situation where it's possible. It's so crappy for you. Let me once again express my adoration at you being here to help when this is what you go through. But you are a treasure and those kids your friends have need you too. They love you. You are integral to their lives.
And, if it makes you feel better, I think you'd be an amazing father too.

It's okay, Abs. I'll deal like I always do. I just wanted to vent a little. And thank you for saying I'm a treasure! I do like to shine!
Thanks, Abs. I love you!
no subject
Venting is good for you! It keeps you sane!
I love you too.
no subject
SANE?! Well, I suppose it keeps be from punching 78 year olds....

I can relate what you mean, though, at least partially. I could have children with a woman, but the problematic term there is of course woman. If I have children, it's not going to happen naturally. Of course, I'm very thankful that modern science has given people like me options, but there's still something so beautiful about the union between Peter and Aly, or David and Christina. It would be lovely to be able to experience that. There's just no impregnating me, though.
I love you, Thomas. I think you'd make a brilliant dad, including explaining to them about not jumping out of trees.
no subject
No...there's no impregnating me either. Though that part I think I'm glad about. He says maleishly. You'd be the most beautiful father, Spectre. You really would!
I love you too! And are you kidding, I'd be right there with them telling them to flap hard or whatever. I don't think I'd be so good at the...not having them be crazy thing.
no subject
If they were a demon or an angel, you could get away with the "flap hard" scenario...
no subject
That's true!!

Please note, I am not trying to convince you to have a baby with me, as I am not some crazy woman desperate to be pregnant. Just saying I would.
no subject
And just so you know, I didn't think you were being crazy at all! Just incredibly sweet, my darling.

It was really hard for me at first, being around pregnant women when I knew I'd destroyed any chance I might have at having children myself. I love children, I love babies. And because of my stupid mental illness, I really fucked things up for that part of my life. Well, I fucked up one option, anyway. Kait could still have babies, so I can still be a mum. But it would be nice to have the choice. I know how that is.
I wish you could be here all the time. I wish you could create a new branch of your family. You deserve that, and if it were in my power, you would have it in a heartbeat. I'm glad you can take joy in the happiness around you, though. That's so fundamentally you, seeing the best in every situation. I love you, Thomas. You always bring the best with you.
no subject
Yeah...it's pretty crappy not to have the choice. I know there are some people out there who don't want it, and good for them for knowing that and not falling to society's pressure that says you must have children or you're somehow lacking. But to not be able to decide just...sucks.
I'm glad I can take joy in the happiness around me too. It would be horrible if I didn't. If I just ignored it to be angry in my own little cloud of death. That's so not me. It would be very boring! I love you too, Renee. I hope I didn't upset you.
no subject
You are so very far from angry-cloud-of-death man. You're the polar opposite. That's part of why we need you so often. Wherever you go, you bring happiness with you. You have a most superb gift, Thomas. Thus proving that you didn't upset me!
no subject
I like having that gift. Making people smile is important to me. Bringing them happiness is too. Which I suppose is part of why I want to be a father. I want to give someone else the love I didn't have, you know? Not that I was lacking in love at all. Not for a second, I had an abundance, but I didn't have a father. And I want to give someone that. But Tamm and Tasha have assured me that I do. And I feel better.
no subject
You're such a giving soul. You give at every opportunity, and if you don't get an opportunity, you make one. That's absolutely incredible. I'm so glad Tasha and Tamm were able to give something back to make you feel better. They're both sensational *smiles*

seriously though, i couldn't agree more, you'd be an awesome dad. you're joyful and open-minded and you take things as what they, and people as they come. that's worth so much in a world like this, man. ain't many people willin' to do that. any kid would be lucky to be yours. i reckon all the kids growin' up around you are lucky to have an uncle thomas. i wish there could be a daddy thomas, but failin' that, i'm real glad there's kids out there like zoe and bianca and matthew and thomas and all the others who get to have you in their lives. that's a big difference in the world, man, and you're makin' it. cos y'know, you're awesome.
no subject
I do love being their Uncle Thomas. I love being around them and helping and watching them grow up. They'll never be a "well I can't have my own so I'll settle for them" thing to me. Ever. They're not a substitute. They're incredible.
no subject
your words are music to my ears, man. i ain't hardly ready to think about kids for myself, but i love all the little ones around me. i never saw myself as that guy, but they've totally won me over. especially kat's. i love 'em like nothin' else. i know exactly what you mean, dude.
no subject
Kat's children are beautiful. It's hard sometimes, to be around them because I was so much a part of Kat's life while she was pregnant and now I am...less a part of it. Or it's in a different way. Which is completely for the best, but sometimes it makes me sad because I love those little girls so much and I could be there for them. But Alessa is. And she's damn amazing with them. And those little girls deserve someone they can have for always and nothing less. And I think they have the most amazing Godfather as well.
