Skyler chuckled, his hand playfully covering his mouth, "You know, I bet Angel's got a bun in the oven, and that's why she's not at the office. She used to be such a workaholic."
William pouted, "Uncle Skyler, do you really want my mom to have another baby?"
"Yep," Skyler nodded, "Having a new little one in the family is always a reason to celebrate."
William frowned, "But I already have a little sister. Nova's super sweet, and I really like her. Another sister would just be too much."
Mira looked at him, tilting her head to the side, "You don't have a brother, though. Maybe Aunt Aurelia could have a little brother for you. My mom really wanted a little brother for me, but she and dad got divorced, so no brother for me." She sighed heavily.
Nina gave her a light pat on the head, "Well, it’s not a big deal. I never wanted a brother anyway. William and Kane are like our brothers."
"That's true," Mira giggled.
William said, "I may not have a brother, but Kane does. And that brother is me, so we really don't need another one."
Skyler felt a wave of dizziness, "Come on, William, another brother or sister is nothing to be upset about. It just means more kids for holiday playtimes, and imagine how fun that would be."
William hung his head low, "But what if the new baby is a real handful and cries all the time? I can't stand fussy babies. Nova's good, and she only fusses a little when she's hungry."
Kane clapped him on the shoulder, "Don't worry so much, William. Maybe our new sibling will be just as sweet and smart as Nova."
"Still, I don't want mom to have another baby." William puffed out his cheeks, "Mom promised to take me back to Goldstone next Christmas, but if she has another baby, she'll be too busy with them to take me."
"Christmas in Elysium can be just as nice," Kane tried to console him.
