we had some animals in the community where i grew up but they weren't "pets" exactly... they didn't belong to anybody, we all just helped take care of them

That still sounds nice.

Perhaps we should consider one for the twins. I've read that caring for an animal helps to foster compassion and responsibility in children.

can i tell you something, it really makes me fall in love with you more every time i catch you reading a parenting book

i think that sounds like a good idea. maybe when they get just a little older so they can help out with care tasks?

I want to be the best father I can be, that's all.

Yes, that's a good idea. They'll better be able to appreciate it, as well.

you're gonna be such a good father, baby. i know it

I hope so. You'll help me, won't you?

of course i will, we're in this together!!

have you thought about what you want them to call you?

Call me? Oh, no I suppose I haven't.. is 'father' too formal?

[ he didn't have parents he doesn't know this stuff help ]

it's not too formal if that's what you like!!

i called my parents mama and daddy until i was a little older and then they became mom and dad

if you want something a little more casual maybe baba?

[ mama and daddy.. that's so cute.. little baby phel weh ]

Baba.. I like that. It's very sweet. And easy for them to say.

What about you?

i think it's cute too... just imagine their little voices

baba, baba~

i think i like dad... daddy... something like that, i feel like something serious doesn't fit me lmao like imagine me being the one called father?

[ no it's too cute stop, he will Cry ]

Heh, I think you're right.. father doesn't suit you at all.

exactly!! as the unserious dad, i need an unserious dad name!

Is 'dad' unserious enough for you?

i think so... but i probably will have a few months before i have to commit right? unless vidyadhara are unusually dastardly at learning to talk

fast*

Dastardly..

I suspect they will take some time to learn, so yes, it's no rush. You can think of something suitably silly in time.
