Chapter Text
What do we do now? That question is principal on both of their minds since the birth of their son Marco. The
best and easiest answer is that they'll GO ON. Of course, they're lives have changed dramatically, they're
devotion to one another has to be tempered (by necessity, with the lion's share funneled toward the newborn. They
are intelligent, sensible people, and understand this new dynamic.
For two people who never really entertained the possibility of being parents, there is a certain THRILL, more
for Tasha than Edgar. She had, until recently, pushed the thought o motherhood far into the deep recesses of her mind,
had ceased to even allow the yearnings to manifest, smothering and snuffing them out until all but a few embers remained...
and then came READE...and hope, and yearning re-kindled, fanned into a roaring flame. When he mentioned the desire for
a son, she threw away her birth control without a moments hesitation. And now, complete womanhood (at least in her view).
CAREER: check...the love of an incredible, incredible man (after so many dududuDUDS): check...motherhood, after two forced
abortions by lousy louses, motherhood: checkcheckcheck. They live, and prosper, and raise a houseful of children, and love,
and devote themselves to one another. THAT is what they do now.
