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 wish my dad had told me that jumpin' out of a tree to see if i could fly wasn't a good idea... course, i needed to be told that at sixteen, which prob'ly isn't normal. i blame the ouzo.

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.

Ouzo will do that to you! But really, I'd do it now. So...at least we're alike! Ahem.

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.

dude, you sayin' we're alike, i take that as a really huge compliment. so thank you for that. i reckon it's a good way to be.

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.

Ooh, fantastic! I am glad to really huge compliment you! You deserve them! So you're welcome!

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.

thank you again, dude. i totally understand wishin' you could be more. kat means so much to me. in a different way to you, obviously. she's my best friend. i've never met anyone like her. we just get each other, you know? so there's no way me and the kids wouldn't be a part of each other's lives. they're all so precious to me, and i really wish i could share 'em with you. you deserve to be the huge part of their lives you want to be. they deserve to be able to have you. and i agree, alessa is fuckin' amazing, i just wish we could have it all. no harm in dreamin', right?

I do know. Peter and I just get each other too. We always have (after I got over my initial aversion to him because he was a richboy) so I know what you mean. And no, there's no harm in dreaming. But I love Kat too much to want her to be unhappy just so she could be with me. I have Spectre and Mary and she has Alessa and things are right now.

you're a king among men, my friend. the way you see the world... ain't a selfish bit in it. you love love, and that's a great thing. i'm really happy for you and spectre and mary. you're all awesome.
