“Yeah, it’s weird.” Su said dryly, turning to face him a little more. “It’s also… well it’s not very fair. It’s your child as much at it is hers, she shouldn’t have kept that for you for-what, a couple years you said? So your son has been growing up all this time without knowing who you were?” Yeah, she didn’t like the sound of that at all. It was weird enough, this semi-abstract idea that Kevin was a father… at the moment she was feeling incredibly protective of him, which was probably why she was tending towards being annoyed at this Shane person. Then she sighed, reaching out to find his hand. “Although I guess even though I think it was a bitch move… well if she’d told you, than like you said, you wouldn’t be here right now. And I like you here.”
Su paused again, trying to sort through all the very loud thoughts in her mind. “Elliot is a nice name, I guess. You could call him El for short.” For a moment, the seriousness of the subject was lifted by the question he asked, and Su snorted with amusement. “Oh. She told me that when a Mommy and a Daddy want a baby, they write an owl to the stork. The stork gets their DNA off where they lick the envelope-that’s why kids look like their parents, FYI-and then the stork shows up with an egg. Mommy and Daddy watch over the egg until it hatches and then they have a baby!” Su couldn’t help but giggle slightly, leaning into him again as she said, “So yes, I spent a good month or so thinking I was a dinosaur, clearly.”
