to the 1/12′ers, so she paid a visit to the dollhouse:
Lewellyn, Biwan’s grandma, wanted to hold Biwan right away, but of course Lewellyn was too small:
Nuncio was more reserved.
Little Windy, the alterego of Big Windy, was the most confused.
She kept her distance, like anyone would, looking at their future self.

They are discovered by Windy.
“Biwan must be part cat.” Luke explains.
“The baby climbed right on top of my book!”
Eppie: “Windy, would you show off your new skirt?”
Windy is never one for a turn on the catwalk! 
Luke seems to approve…

Windy: “I let Eppie take Biwan for the day, so she could show Biwan off at work.”
Eppie: “Don’t worry, Luke, I’ll take good care of Biwan.”
Luke: “Oh well, I have reading to catch up on anyway…”

Windy had been planning to adopt a baby and Luke knew that and was all for it.
But I don’t think he expected the new arrival to ocurr at the first night of ResinCon!
In fact, Luke’s main idea about what do do at ResinCon had to do with peoplewatching:
…and keeping an eye on Eppie’s stuff…
…while Windy busied herself with the New Arrival…
BlackRose lent Luke a Tiny to practise babyholding with:
he was having some difficulty with the whole idea. It was all a bit sudden; fatherhood and stuff.
Sometimes even a grown doll needs a little comfort from Mom, in this case, from Eppie:
Still, it was a sleepless night. In the morning, Luke went down by himself to the banks of the mighty Ohio River, which ran right by the hotel, for some contemplation. It was foggy, which seemed to suit his mood perfectly:
As the fog lifted a little, Luke got a better view of the river.
He saw the jumbled rocks, the tangled and colorful plants covering the embankment, the wharf structures jutting daringly out into the water and – in the distance – a huge barge, steady and dependable…
…moving slowly down the river…
… watching the barge reminded Luke that it was time for him to get back to the hotel room, to see how Windy and the little one were doing.
It was time for their first breakfast as a family…
…followed by a grueling drive home…
Once home, Windy couldn’t wait to tell the news to family and friends using her new datapad:
“Do you think Biwan would be a good name?” mused Luke, “or Eowan?”

Dressed to the hilt (literally!) and, well, nervous about the trip!

asks Luke.
“I think a sewing kit would be more useful!”
answers Windy.
“You’re probably right,”
sighs Luke.
