Elentári has a planet very far away from Arda so people can get the magic-music-composing benefits without dealing with the planet they so gratefully left behind. His Rebecca is kept there.

"Knock knock!"

"Beka!"

Hi I am here to help save you from being awkward about kids with your wife!

Thank you! People who aren't me are better at eliciting complicated conditional preferences.

You know that's 'cause she likes you, right?

I am very clear on that! And usually it doesn't matter, but for children it matters very very much.

Well, I will go compensate for that.

Rebecca is feeding her Catherine in a pretty rocking chair and singing to her! "Hello Beka!"

"Hi! Whooooo's a good Kat alt you are you are you are hi," she says, pinching a baby foot between her first two fingers and wiggling it a bit. Catherine does not pause at all in her industrious eating. "Are you gonna have any more?"

"I dunno? I mean I'm not taking those potions Michael's got his Rebecca on - do you think we need nicknames like the Bells -"

"You lot do."

"Maybe my husband will pick me one! But I don't think they even have them themselves."

"They kinda don't it's dumb. Anyway Elves can just not have kids if they don't want."

"Yeah, I remember hearing that. I'm not even sure if it's sinful since they're made that way to begin with. Also he's not Catholic."

"Do you want him to want kids? I'm not totally sure how much Michael wanted them and how much he was just, yanno, failing to Elf while his Rebecca succeeded at Catholic."

"Of course! Whenever he thinks it's time. Do you think we'd have a Joanna?"

"I think that's probably how it works. He can pick if you have a boy or a girl though!"

"Is that why he has six brothers."

"I think so."

"Having seven boys would maybe be too many boys but there's already Catherine so whatever he wants will be good."

"You have more of that thing than we do. Like, we could guess which kind of thing you were but you are so much it."

"You didn't have to guess, I'm not a man."

"...well, there's subbier and less subby women, right?"

"Yeah, I guess I am one of the subbier ones?"
