Surely you can guess what the 'weird' request was.
TT: No. Not me.
WB: Aww, why not?
TT: You know I can't stand kids.
WB: Not even for me?
TT: Well, if you're gonna do all the job and raise them up properly, sure. I'll take over when they're mature enough to match my ways.
WB: Really?? So it's a yes??
TT: *sigh* If you really insist.
WB: This is gonna be great!
TT: Of course, you'll be the one bearing.
WB: Eh?
TT: You're not expecting me to do that, are you?
WB: Eh, but, but,..
TT: *provoking* What? You're not willing to?
WB: That'll be tough... but as long as you say yes. *grins*
TT: *somewhat unhappy* Fine, fine.
WB: You hate it that much?
TT: I don't hate it. I just know I won't be able to be kind to children. But if you're gonna do it instead, I don't really mind. And since when have you started to like kids?
WB: Uh, well I wonder. *smiles* Just the time, maybe.
TT: Hmm, I guess it wouldn't be so bad.
WB: Yeah, a family couldn't be so bad.
TT: Actually I have other plans for them. *grins*
WB: Augh, don't you lay a finger on them, you-, you and your weird hobbies!
TT: XP
WB: Really, don't do anything weird to them okay. I could almost see what you're planning to do. Throw them in a distant galaxy and leave them to fend for themselves, or leave them in the care of a weird sorcerer, or something!
TT: I'm not that simple. *winks*
WB: But this is great! I can't wait! There are so many things I have to look forward to!
TT: *sweats* Are you sure you haven't gotten a fever? Coz you're acting really weird...
WB: Coz I married a weirdo. XD
TT: Heh. As long as you're happy.
WB: Thank you soooooooo much!! <3<3
And so family planning started. But there were the obstacles, lotsa them! Including me of course. I wanted them to grow up faster than other kids, so I thought using cross-dimensions, but they were all just plans, and the Water Bearer kept on rejecting my ideas, as expected.
The biggest obstacle was, however, the Water Bearer hemself. In the end se admitted that se is unable to bear the patience of child bearing. Heheh. A big relief.
But someone else got big news. The Blowing Wind and co is expecting another family member soon!
Time sure flies. Huuuhhhhhhh............
