The Joker is awfully domestic, in his way. He makes pretty clothes. Nathan's perfectly happy to be a clothes horse for his sartorially-inclined mate. Some of the clothes are distinctly feminine, and Nathan does not wear those, although the Joker could probably talk him into a kilt, even if that's not a Manx thing but only their neighbors.

"So cute," Nathan agrees.
"So terribly cute," sighs Rosalie.
"Adorable," agrees Alice, and Jasper nods.
"We're cute," Henry tells Kerron, and Kerron laughs again.

He hugs Nathan, because Nathan is there and huggable and this spectacle is giving him many huggy feelings.

Nathan hugs back. Henry marches in circles, carrying Kerron, who finds the entire scenario utterly hilarious. Eventually he hands off Kerron to the nearest adult - "Here, Aunt Alice, you hold him!" - and runs back to his mother, who picks him up and sits him on her shoulders.

"I think I'm leaning towards wanting one," Alice says in a not-particularly-private whisper to Jasper.
"Wuthta!" cries Kerron helpfully.
Jasper looks speculatively at the baby, and at Henry.

"Yeah!" Henry agrees.
"I think you'd be wonderful parents," Rosalie says to Alice and Jasper.
"Thanks, Rose," says Alice cheerfully.

Henry grins back, and starts playing with Rosalie's hair, which is in convenient reach. Rosalie rolls her eyes indulgently.
"Maaaaaa," says Kerron.
"I can't tell if he wants you or if he's just making sounds," Nathan says to his mate.
"Maaaaaa," says Kerron.
"I can't tell if he wants you or if he's just making sounds," Nathan says to his mate.

"Ayata kwar," says Kerron.
"I'm going to guess just sounds," says Nathan.
"You can have him anyway, just in case," Alice says, offering Kerron back to the most plausible referent of "ma".

Kerron burbles happily.
"Are you just going to keep calling him 'munchkin' until he tells us whether he likes his name or not?" Nathan asks, amused.

"Mommy calls me 'precious' sometimes even though my name's Henry!" says Henry.
"That's because you are the most precious thing," coos Rosalie, plucking her son from her shoulders to kiss his forehead. "In all the world."

"Esme's still dithering," Alice tells Rosalie.
"Is she still? That's a pity," sighs Rosalie. "It's not as though we'd feel like she loved us any less if we had a baby brother or sister who was naturally hers."
"Try telling her that," says Alice. "But I don't think it's that, I think it's about the one she lost, I think filling the void with us adoptees was one thing and having a new baby would be another."

"Yes," agrees Rosalie.
"I think - this isn't something I'm seeing, just me knowing Esme - that she'll decide yes," Alice says. "For Carlisle's sake partly, at first, but of course she'll fall in love with it the first time she feels it moving."
"Of course she will," Rosalie says serenely.
"Everybody's reproducing all of a sudden," says Nathan.
"There's finally a way for us to do it," says Rosalie, "of course some of us want to."

"D'you wanna babysit Kerron for an hour or two?" Nathan asks Alice casually, putting his arm around his mate. "Get in some practice, make sure you're decided?"
"Sure," says Alice agreeably.
"Sure," says Alice agreeably.

"See you all later," says Nathan pleasantly, and he steers the Joker towards their quarters.
