En route, London did a lot of reflection. What should he do with the child? He was still very young and inexperienced in caring for children. All this time, he only had a nephew and a niece that he loved. But it went without saying that taking care of them was different from taking care of his own children.
If Altair and Vega were naughty, London would just have to hand them over to Aleksis, their mother, before going back to having fun with Rune or going out with Terry.
Meanwhile, to whom could he hand his child to if his child was naughty? Even the child's biological mother didn't want it.
What should he do with a child who had to be separated from the mother even though the child still needed breast milk to grow properly? London hadn't told anyone about this. Not even Alaric.
