HOW IT WORKS:
➔ Post with your characters, one per comment please.
➔ Others tag your muse with a number choice. Either use the RNG or pick whichever you like. For optimum fun, be adventurous! Throw random characters at each other and see what fun shenanigans you can get up to.
➔ Congratulations! Now you're parents. Hopefully you won't screw this up too much.
➔ Have fun!

01. You’ve just gotten the news, you’re pregnant. Time to tell your spouse. OR You’ve just gotten the news, you’re approved for adoption! Time to tell your spouse.
02. Oh my God, you’re in labor! OR Oh my God, time to meet your adoption prospect.
03. It’s the first night home with your new baby. Good luck.
04. Now you know why they call it the terrible twos. How are you and your spouse coping?
05. It’s your little one’s first day of school. You and your spouse are seeing them off.
06. Sitting in the stands for your kid’s big sports game. You two cheer as loud as you can!
07. The only thing worse than a two-year-old is a teenager. Time to discuss what's an appropriate punishment.
08. Hopefully you’ve got fresh batteries in your camera for prom pictures. Maybe your spouse remembered.
09. Your kid is off to college. You can’t believe the number of boxes you’ve got to fit in your car and carry to their dorm.
10. You’re older, wiser and probably going to cry at your kid's wedding. At least you two still have each other.

Parents?

[He asks, smiling as Irene allows him to sniff her fingers. Gladstone's response is to lick her fingers in greeting after he does. John comes over, leans down to scoop the pup up into his arms, and holds him at eye level for Irene.]

Irene, Gladstone. Gladstone, Irene. Just to get the formalities out of the way.

[He really does enjoy having the pup around.]

Yes. My father.

[That's about all he's getting on that. She leans in as well, though just out of the range of face-slurps, and gazes steadily at the dog.]

Hello, Gladstone. You're going to be an extremely well-behaved pup, aren't you?

this---isn't late at all. >.>

[Oh, but he's trying to wriggle in John's very secure grasp to offer kisses to Irene. When that doesn't succeed, he gives a rather loud yip.]

I think that's his agreeing with you.
