(A/N: It sucks, but it offers a solution, and some common sense.)
His world was crashing around his ears, and he didn't know exactly what to do about the situation. All of the people he loved were in pain, and Theo Morhan couldn't fix it. There was nothing that he could do. Theo pushed open the door of the coffee house, trying to muster the enthusiasm for his meeting with his sister. Juliet and Nat were the loves of his heart, and always would be. He wanted to make everything work for them, he wanted life to go well for them, and he wasn't sure that would ever be an option.
Juliet bounced out of her chair when she saw her older brother, and she flung her arms around his lean torso. Theo wrapped his arms around his little sister, and held her tightly. He hadn't neccesarily been neglecting his sister, but he hadn't been as involved in her life as he should have been, and some boy had broken her heart. Holding on to her, and kissing the top of her head, Theo tried to decide what to do, and how to handle this situation.
"The, what's wrong? You look so sad!"
Theo stepped back, and took Juliet's hand.
"Can we take a walk?"
--
The siblings had been walking through the park, hand in hand, and Theodore was already feeling better. Juliet had a way of making things make sense, and she was doing so just now. He'd shared with her everything he knew about Nat and Evander and their desire for children. He didn't know what to do, but at least he felt better about everything just talking to Juliet, and as for his little sister, she always felt better when she was able to meddle in her older brothers' lives.
"Well, I can carry a baby for them."
Theodore jumped, her sentance pulling him out of his silent reverie. He wasn't sure what to think of that. His little sister was a virgin, and he wasn't sure if he wanted to let her give that up to Evander, not even to give their brother a child. He closed his eyes, thinking hard about it.
"Juliet, you can't! You, you'd have to sleep with a gay man."
Juliet laughed, long and loud, so much that her stomach and sides were heaving with the effort. She shook her head, and punched her brother's shoulder.
"You retard, have you never heard of artificial insemination? 'Vander jacks off in a cup, and then they inject me with his semen."
"Juliet Renee Morhan! That is the crudest thing you've ever said!"
"And the first thing in this conversation that has made any sense. Everyone is beating themselves up over cheating, and comfort. Really, it's just me being pregnant."
"..."
Theo wrapped an arm around his little sister.
"I'm glad we have you."
"I'm sure you are."
