Oh no. No! Not another one...

Another what, if I may ask?

A murderer, a monster, a tragedy?

Positive pregnancy test

A tragedy it is, then. *But he's smiling gently.* Congratulations.

Thanks. I'm just a bit...shocked...

If there's anything I can do to help you, I will.

Thanks, Ives. That's...sweet of you.

*He laughs.* I do try to be, for my friends at least.

Simon doesn't know yet. I mean, it's his obviously. I just...our jobs...

I am very glad to not have one.

Lucky you. I have two. Mommy and FBI.

Being a mother at least brings happiness, I'd think. More than the FBI, certainly.

Definitely more than the FBI. I love Zeinab. And this new baby...whatever it is.

I like the name Brian, for a boy. Unless that's too Western for you?

Brian...hmm, maybe. And no, Western works.

Well then, glad to help.

Zeinab doesn't want a brother. You think she'd be...okay if it was a boy?

I think she'd get over it eventually. Does she want a sister?

Yeah. I don't think I want another girl though...

So someone is doomed to be disappointed, then.

Oh well. Can't please everybody, after all.

I'd love my child either way. And Zeinab'll get over it.

Good to hear.

I'm not /that/ horrible. Did you hear about the mom who left her toddler home alone so she could catch pokemon? At least I'm not that bad.

Sometimes I think people should have to take a test before being allowed to have children.

I agree. Would I pass though?

You're doing better than a lot of people, at least.

"I guess..."

"Mommy!"

Parvina smiled a bit and shook her head. "She's up from her nap, I think."

It certainly does sound like it, yes.

Parvina peeked into the bedroom to see Zeinab with her little dog. She was brushing his hair. Parvina shook her head and smiled and snuck back out. "Monster needed his hair brushed..."

I've missed being around children. Especially being around them without most of my attention focused on remembering not to eat their parents.

She doesn't know yet. About being a big sister...

Don't worry, I won't tell.

Zeinab came out of the room with Monster in her hands. She smiled at Ives and waved at him. "Hi!"

Parvina giggled a bit. "Well, I guess I raised her good..."

Hi there. You and Monster having fun?

Zeinab giggled and smiled. "Yes. Monstey good doggy! He even go peepee outside!"

"Thank Allah. He was already pottytrained. Whoever had him before the shelter at least taught him that."

Dogs are generally good creatures, I'd say. Not like humans.

"Some humans are good."

More often, however, the best thing about them is the taste.

Which brings the question all the scriptures ask. Is man inheritedly good or evil?

I'd say that man is inherently foolish.
