Sid didn't mind. In spite of such imposition, he found he had a lot of free time on his hands too, which he utilized to improve the family arsenal and defenses, refine the protocol for dealing with drop-ins, and familiarize himself better with the huge and ever-growing universe of the frontstage AddVenture. He also kept a wary eye out for the arrival of the Old Wizard whose coming had been predicted by Deja Voodoo's Guide to the Backstage. So far there was no indication of when that worthy might show up.
At last the great day came. And despite certain amazonian nightmares about possibly giving birth to little avocados who might eat their way out of their mothers' wombs into the light of day...
everything went normally. Sendula gave birth to a beautiful little baby girl, whom she named Cressida Sendula Russell, and Credensa likewise brought forth another baby girl, bright as a button, pretty as a picture, and loud as a foghorn, who was blessed with the appellation of Sensida Credensa Russell. The two mothers had considered giving their new daughters a long string of names each, after the fashion of their culture, but since that culture was essentially dead each opted for the compromise of combining her own name with her husband's for the first name, honoring her sister for the second, and taking her husband's surname for the third, after the odd but cute fashion of his culture.
So that was that. They had three months' grace after the births to be full-time mothers, following which poor Mirage had to do triple duty as wetnurse, as little Alvin was still far from weaned, and showed no sign of being ready to be. Fortunately, a magical creature such as herself had options denied ordinary mortals. The situation was quickly resolved by her growing a third breast.
After that it was back to work for everyone...
