LMM 359: News from Home

Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the one who loves babies.

Then a video arrived, and Michael beamed. “Come home, old friend. A son has joined the den. We’ve named him Vanya.”
