"Thank you Pliot." said Jothee
Jothee went to Pilot's dne to talk to him.
"So how much has changed? asked Jothee

"15?" asked Jothee "That is really long. How old are all the kids?"
"Hope is 7 1/2 Centrina is 7..." said Pilot as he told Jothee the ages
"What about CHiana? Is she with anyone?" asked Jothee
"No she isnt." said Pilot
That morning, everyone got to the galley at about the same timeand saw Jothee.
"My son. You're back." said D'Argo
"Hey Jothee!" said Chiana excitedly
D'Argo and Chiana both hugged Jothee
"Daddy? Who is he?" asked D'Tur
"This is yout big brother." said D'Argo
"Hi." said Jothee to D'Tur
"And this is Jool." said D'Argo
"Hi Jool." said Jothee "I am happy for you two."
Jothee got introduced to all the other kids.
"Do you like Aunt Chiana?" asked Delany
"Yeah." said Jothee
"Jothee, Ill take you to get some quarters after breakfast." said Chiana
"Why is it so far from the other quarters?" asked Jothee
"Well if you wnat to pick up where we left off I don't want the kids to hear."
said Chiana
"Good idea." said Jothee
That night all the kids were in bed, John and Aeryn sat spooning on the terrace.
"So what do you think Jothee and Pip are doing right now?" asked John
"Most probably frelling their brains out." said Aeryn
"Pip told me not to wirry about the noise cuz his quarters were far away." said
John
"Thats good." said Aeryn "I don't want the children to see that."
"*I* don't want to see that." said John and they both laughed.
They sat in silence for a while looking at the stars. Aeryn broke the slience by yawning.
"Want to go to bed babe?" asked John
"Yeah, I'm getting tired." said Aeryn
They got up and stretched out a bit and went hand in have to bed, checking on their
daughters first.
