8/16 this isn't a day late what

[pipers_son]

[THERE

IS EXCITED FOX YIPPING

ON YOUR SCREEN CHIHIRO]

[A moment later, and Invidia sends a text message before switching back to video]

The baby!! The baby is out!

never too late for babies

[codeforhope]

[OH MY GOODNESS

SUCH EXCITEMENT

Chihiro barely is able to get his Gear in his hands before Zip has already fired off a text, seconds before he switches to video himself.]

!!!
HOW IS THE BABY?
DID YOU NAME IT
HELLO BABY!!

[As soon as the video's on, Zip comes from the Gear and peers intensely into the screen, letting out a few quick, excited beeps.]

I'm so happy for you, Invidia! How is the baby doing?

[pipers_son]

[Okay, yes, you want to see baby, hold please. Invidia reaches up into the impressive amount of fluff that is his mane, digging about with his claws before he literally pulls out an itty bitty Porygon from the red depths. The itty bitty Porygon in question is kicking its little flipper feet things curiously, beeping itself. HELLO WOW WHAT IS ALL THIS EXCITEMENT]

[Since Zip is out of the 'Gear, Invidia answers in his own yips outloud.]

Levi! We named the baby Levi! They are very good and healthy!

[Probably??? Invidia has never raised a Porygon before.]

[Chihiro probably can't understand all that, but it's obvious how Invidia is feeling but the constant beaming.]

[codeforhope]

Hello Levi! I am Zip! I am your other Papa!!

[Zip beeps eagerly to the little one, so close to the Gear for a moment that Chihiro has to hold his arms out a bit so he can get a look for himself.]

I know you will take very good care of them, Invidia. And you can teach them everything I have taught you, okay?

[pipers_son]

[Levi stops their little kicks, stunned at this revelation before exictedly beeping.]

Two Papas! That is DOUBLE the Papas! I also have a Grampapa! Papas have triplified!!!

[EXCITED KICKING INTENSIFIES]

[Fortunately Invidia has a good grip, and keeps little Levi where they are as he gives an excited nod to Chihiro. HE WILL BE SUCH A GOOD TEACHER OKAY]

[codeforhope]

[HOLY CRAP TRIPLIFIED PAPAS

Zip spins around Chihiro's head a few times before settling to hover near the bed, his own feet wiggling a little in Levi's direction.]

Yes yes! You will learn a lot and be very happy!

[Chihiro leans back against the pillows of his bed, laughing softly.]

Has your Papa considered getting you your own Gear yet, Invidia? That way, Levi can stay in it too.

[pipers_son]

[Apparently Porygon feet kicking is going to be a thing as Invidia picks up some paper and a pencil to write on scrap paper. He doesn't want to switch to text and interfere with Porygon feet kicking.]

Yes. He says when we return home later today, he will see where he can get an extra one for all of us who are not with him when he's traveling.

[codeforhope]

That's wonderful! I'm sure that will come in handy for all of you working in the Circus.

[Meanwhile, Zip is happily kicking his feet right back at Levi, because this is a thing we are now doing because WE WE WE SO EXCITED]

[pipers_son]

[Invidia gives a cheerful nod.]

It can let us practice a lot more on our own too!

[codeforhope]

You will be using your own Gear like a professional in no time, I promise.

[pipers_son]

[It's hard for a Pokemon covered in fur to blush, but Invidia sure seems to look like he's about to melt with pride. There's some ecstastic head nodding.]

[It's around this time that Levi finally calms down a little, and floats closer to the screen.]

What is other Papa's location?

[codeforhope]

Papa Zip is in Goldenrod City! House approximately 525 yards from the Breeding Center!

[Zip beeps in reply, looking at his trainer briefly before turning his gaze back to the Gear.]

[pipers_son]

Goldenrod! Homebase is in Goldenrod!

[Invidia has to pull Levi back so he doesn't press his face against the screen or accidentally go into the 'Gear.]

I will get to see Papa Zip when we return to home base!

[codeforhope]

Okay! I will look for you! Yes I will!

[Zip does a little excited spin in midair before hovering close to the screen again, though not close enough to go in himself.]

Be good for Papa Invidia!

[pipers_son]

[Kick kick kick!]

I will be very good for both my Papas!

[codeforhope]

[UGH GOSH IT'S JUST

SO CUTE

Zip kicks his feet in response, nodding a few times.]

Make sure to keep a careful eye on Levi, Invidia. I'm sure they might get a little curious once they start staying inside your Gear.

[pipers_son]

[Invidia gives a sharp nod, placing Levi up in his hair before he starts writing again.]

I will be a good Papa and teach him all the basics first!

[codeforhope]

Very good.

I wish you both good luck, then! And keep in touch and let me know how things are going.
