Well, I've booked a flight for New York leaving tomorrow morning. Hopefully I won't have to stay there too long. I'm not sure exactly what the legal process is going to entail.

Sadaharu, Genichirou... thank you both for your support. You are both phenomenal friends for standing beside me through this.

...I suppose it's time to invest in some reading material for the flight. I suppose books on parenting are in order.

No need to thank me. Let me know when you return.

....books on parenting? Renji? What's...what's going on?

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

Of course.

Apparently my one attempt at heterosexual intercourse produced offspring. Unfortunately, the mother was in an unfortunate accident, and so I've rather suddenly found myself a single father.

[gamesetimatch.livejournal.com]

Hasn't anyone in this country heard of condoms?

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

Condoms are hardly 100% infallible.

...I was assured by the mother that she was on birth control and that it was a non-issue, however. Knowing her personality, I suspect that I may have been deliberately misled.

...Oh Renji. Are you okay? Did you know her well or was it just a one-off thing? Do you need any help with anything? I'm in America as well. I can get anything you need me to and I can help with anything legal.

She was a good friend of mine when we were studying overseas. I hadn't heard for her in approximately three years, though. The child is two and a half, so that makes sense. I'm actually inclined to believe that having a child may have been her goal when she offered to let me experience heterosexual sex. She was an unusual woman. It's a shame she's passed away.

As for me, I believe I'll be fine. I'll let you know if anything comes up, however.

I see....I'm sorry for your loss, Renji. Do you know much about the child yet?

And please do. ^_^

Not using a condom can still lead to the spread of STIs, even if other forms of prophylactic are used. I expected better of you, Yanagi.

Only her name and age. Kanno Himawari, age two and a half.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

I assure you, it was not my brightest moment. I had far too much to drink and frankly, was thinking with my lower half. Apparently I am a horny drunk. It's a problem of mine.

[gamesetimatch.livejournal.com]

Remind me to never get drunk with you, then.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

What, not interested in me, Hiyoshi-sensei?

She sounds like a cute little girl. Maybe she and Sakura-chan can be friends.

[gamesetimatch.livejournal.com]

No.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

[Screened]

Perhaps. Genichirou has offered his knowledge of little girls to me, so I imagine they will have chances to meet in the future.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

What a pity.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

I have to meet her. I wonder if she looks like you? You'll be teaching her how to play tennis, no doubt?

[gamesetimatch.livejournal.com]

Sorry, Dad.

[demoneyesakaya.livejournal.com]

Yanagi-sempai... you're a... a DAD?


[ooc: Someone just fell over in shock. XD Don't feel bad, this would be his reaction to any of his friends procreating.]

[tastetensai.livejournal.com]

Parenting? Did I miss the memo here...

[tastetensai.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I'm not the only one behind~

[drvroom.livejournal.com]

As long as she's not allergic to cats, I'd love to meet her once you get her settled. If you're curious about normative cognitive development for her, I still have some texts I could loan you from the developmental psychology course I took. They are in English, though.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

Yes. Trust me, you're not the only one surprised by the news.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

I just found out I'm a father.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

Of course. I imagine everyone will be meeting her at some point. And yes, the books would be appreciated.

[prof-inui.livejournal.com]

How could I not support you? And I will continue to do so. I will start to compile a list of parenting manuals for you to analyze.

[professoryanagi.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Sadaharu.

[atoberex.livejournal.com]

Ahn? Fascinating.

I hope she doesn't have your hair.
