A statement from The Balmiea Gazette, by Iggy Barnett:

'Not only can we get the freshest of produce at Baz' farmers market, but now we can find it at Elmsly's Groceries! You may ask - why do we need two places to buy food at? Well, dear readers, with this grocery store comes a new feature of home delivery! If you're feelin' lazy, give Baz a call and he'll get his drivers to drop it off right to your door!

(Baz is now hiring for drivers, swing by Elmsly's Groceries to inquire.)'

'How could you?!'

'Dad, I-'

'-I can't even look at you, was our kind not good enough for you son?!'

'It's not that, dad please-'

'If it wasn't your daughter's birthday I could lose it.'

'I did it for her dad, for Rue. She was always going to be a vampire, you know that.'

Before he gets the chance to answer, Leena pulls Baz aside.

'Honey, give him a break.'

'A break?! He-'

'He did exactly what you would do if you were in that situation.'

'What?'

'What if Leon and I couldn't be in sunlight, you'd do what you could to see us - right?'

'Mh, yes.'

'Let him make his own choices, and love him through it..'

'Dad, I just wanted to say-'

'Promise me you won't turn him into a vampire, Ig.'

'Oh, um.'

'Promise me.'

The summer days feel longer to Baz. Maybe because this pregnancy is really kicking Leena's butt or because he can't escape the guilt of upsetting his son.

Whatever it may be, business must go on.

'Hey, dad.'

'Son! Watcher, Dill. I wanted to apologise, I-'

'No, you don't have to. I'm sorry. You need to know I didn't leave because of you, I was a brat.'

'Oh none of that matters now. You and Ig have my support, if it's really what you want.'

'She's the one, dad. I just know it. I'll drop by the house and explain everything soon, I promise.'

As Iggy held her second daughter in her arms, she felt a lot different than last time. Before she could contemplate why, she managed to get out one last sentence -

'Dilly, I don't feel so good-'

Before she fell to the ground.

Cutie girl :') Lark is a huge animal enthusiast, literally maxed out interest. Pretty fitting for a werewolf, but since there's no pet store in town the best Baz and Leena could do was get her a womrat.

Mr. Ham is very well loved.

'Dill, guess what! Dad said he's giving us another brother or sister!'

'Really? At his age?'

'Yeah! He said he wants at least one plantsim kid or something.'

Safe to say Baz will be glad to be done with the toddler stage after this last one.

'Leon, you will love our little Vanessa - I'll have to arrange for a playdate with your parents!'

'Yippee!! We can go to the park and play on the swings, or we could-'

'Vanessa loves books, maybe you could come over and play book club!'

'Oh.'

'Watcher, babe! Are you okay?'
