MHA #8, Saturday morning
Aside from getting a bucket of ice water dumped on him at prom, the night had gone well for Stark. Honestly the ice had only led to a hasty retreat to the apartment building to remove wet clothing so frell you, Anakin. Three nights in a row had gone very well indeed for Stark.
Eventually he'd fallen asleep, though not before tossing water on a pair of amorous and very noisy raccoons on the balcony because he had to admit the water was a good way to momentarily redirect energy.
Between the pollen, finally finding some outlets for the affects of the pollen, and having been away from the island for so long before last summer, Stark had forgotten that mysterious children tended to appear after prom. Waking up with his head clear after a week of it being very much not hadn't led to remembering. Waking up with his head clear had just led to a few moments of mild panic wondering what the repercussions of the past 3 nights might be.
But there wasn't going to be time for Stark to get thoroughly awkward just yet. After showering he was making his way to the kitchen when he stopped. Who could possibly be knocking on his door this early? And why did it sound like someone was giggling in the hallway?
[Ooooopen, for some impossible children, any neighbors that might stop by as a result of impossible children, or one neighbor who could have stayed the night if she wanted but I'm not going to presume]

He'd been a bit preoccupied and he'd made a very deliberate choice not to visit the bakery this past week.
"You ought to tell me your name first. We haven't met yet, here."

"He knows me," Ziya said with a hint of smugness.

"Ziya," he added, smiling fondly at her because he did know her from before and because she was Zhaan's, "Ziya has visited before."
no subject
"He's my Papa," Ziya confirmed. "The one who lives here but not with me and Mama because he's not the same Papa but he's my Papa if things went differently."

"But I don't," Stark protested. "Not yet. But if you tell me I'll know!"
"My other Dad is Liam!"

That was an unexpected complication. And confusing.
