"Now is the time to return the Woklings to me," Anakin said, gesturing to the tables that were at the front of the classroom. "I'll be taking them to their homeworld tonight."

Mostly because if he brought them back to the apartment, he'd probably end up adopting a few to stop Rory from giving him pleading eyes.

He clapped his hands together. "Very well. Tell me what you learned this week while caring for intelligent, sentient creatures who couldn't be stuck in a fridge or a closet, and if it served as an effective check on raging hormones. Actions always have consequences, be they as major as a baby--which I understand also invaded this weekend, so hopefully none of the Ewoks are dyed interesting colors--or as minor as rolling over in the morning and wondering what on Earth you were thinking the night before."

His frown deepened. "And speaking of the island producing children, where I was made a great grandfather yet again, something I am far too hot for, I will be repeating my ~~terrifying~~ educational lecture on sexual reproduction late this afternoon. If you know anyone who is a Skywalker, Solo, or managed to have a child that was a Skywalker or a Solo, tell them their attendance in mandatory."

"For the record, I always knew a child was a big responsibility," Chuck said. That's why he was careful, duh. He didn't wear condoms for fun. "But this has taught me that you can never pay a nanny enough money for her services."

Or strippers you temporarily hired as nannies. Whichever.

"You hired a nanny?" Anakin replied.

Chuck could see this heading down a bad path so he decided to lie to dig himself out. Yes, because that always worked.

"No...I was speaking hypothetically," Chuck said. That was kind of not a lie. They were more like babysitters. Naked babysitters.

"So you took personal care of the Wokling for your portion of the week, then," Anakin followed up.

"Yeah, I did," Chuck lied. He was forgetting about the whole Jedi thing. "In addition to the five other kids I had."

Oh, wait. He didn't take care of them either.

Anakin's brow knit together. "You realize I can tell when you lie."

"I'm not lying." Yes, yes he was.

"Of course you are," Anakin retorted impatiently. "What did you really do with the Wokling and your random interdimensional children?"

"Look, what's it matter what I did with him? He's fine," Chuck said, frowning slightly. "The kids were fine too. Turns out when you have that many they just kind of take care of each other."

"Of course it matters what you did with him," Anakin said heatedly. "I have to take him back to his village elders and assure them that he hasn't picked up any horrifying habits."

"Oh, he didn't pick up anything," Chuck said, unable to help the roll of his eyes. "Fine, you know what? I did leave him with a nanny. If you wanted it to be a realistic interpretation of what it'd be like if I had kids then, congratulations, I passed with flying colors. That's what people do where I'm from. I think I saw my dad for a total of ten minutes during my childhood."

Oh, Chuck. Keep the daddy issues out of the classroom.

"Was that so hard?" Anakin demanded. "I just wanted to know where the Wokling went. My grandchildren were all raised by nannies."

And look how normal they were.

Chuck had the feeling Anakin would not be too happy where he got said nanny so he kept his mouth shut about that. "Well I spent the weekend with a bunch of hands-on 'let's child-proof everything' psycho uber-parents. You can understand why I might think nanny was a bad word."

Anakin shrugged. He was planning on becoming the pyscho uber-parent in a few months, but it was pretty outside his realm of experience.

"The weekend was mostly spent with people who viewed offspring as toys who would go back sooner than later. There would have been a lot more nannies, or a lot less sex, if the children were going to be permanent."

"If they were permanent I would have killed myself," Chuck said. Considering he had five bratty kids over the weekend the sentence wasn't nearly as dramatic as it would have been coming from someone else.

"I'm sure someone would have volunteered to help you with that wish," Anakin said, hiding his amusement.

Oh, the bitchface Anakin got just then. It was epic. "You're so helpful, thank you."

"I've heard that a lot," Anakin said, nodding.

No, no he hadn't.
