GlitterDoctor: I don't want Caleb to ever feel like he's being left out or excluded, or that he's somehow less important because he's not the biological father
TeenDad2: Aaron should talk to him
TeenDad2: I'll get Aaron to talk to him
TeenDad2: Maybe if he speaks with Bo's pulmonologist he'll feel better
GlitterDoctor: But I don't want to force him into anything he's not comfortable with, either. I'm a diva, but I don't want to be the kind of diva who gets his way at the expense of others—especially the people I love
xVerity: That's very commendable, Glit.
xVerity: Have you considered how Caleb and Everett act toward Parker?
GlitterDoctor: What do you mean?
xVerity: I mean that neither are his biological father, but that both have stepped in and love him like their own regardless of genetics.
xVerity: If you were to have another child, no matter who that child belonged to, wouldn't they treat that child the same way they treat Parker?
TeenDad2: xV is right!!
GlitterDoctor: hmm…
GlitterDoctor: I'm worried it would be weird because all of us are lovers. With Parker, his dad isn't in the picture at all. With potential future baby, their biological dad would be within the triad, and I'm afraid it would create a power imbalance… but maybe you're right
Gwynning: I suggest having a frank conversation about what you're feeling with Caleb and Everett
Gwynning: Unless they know how you feel, they won't ever be able to address your concerns
TeenDad2: And I'll see if Aaron can't talk to Caleb, because I feel like while there is a risk, it may not be as big as you think as long as you know to anticipate it
GlitterDoctor: Thanks, guys. I appreciate your feedback
xVerity: And if you decide you don't want more children, don't let anyone make you feel bad.
xVerity: People decide to become parents for different reasons. Some choose not to be parents at all. There's nothing wrong with knowing what you want and sticking to it, no matter what society thinks.
KnotMyProblem: Within the realm of legality, that is
KnotMyProblem: Don't decide you want to murder someone and stick to it, society be damned
KnotMyProblem: But I mean, you do you, space criminal
GlitterDoctor: thanks, I think
GlitterDoctor: I should go, guys. I've got some thinking to do
TeenDad2: See you later, Glit!
xVerity: Take care.
Gwynning: Catch you some other time
KnotMyProblem: See ya
KnotMyProblem: Just remember—whatever you do, be true to you
