"Well, now it's official," Ruiko commented as she signed the form in front of witnesses. As the form was accepted by the registrar, she gave Rob a hug. "We can't back out of it now... dad."

"I wouldn't back out of this even if Hild offered me a free wish in exchange," her erstwhile landlord and new adoptive father replied while returning the hug. They gave Taeko and Tomoyo a moment to finish taking their photos and video of the occasion, respectively, then broke the hug. "Of course, now I get to complain about your choices of boyfriends," he added with a smile.

"And I get to complain about your choices of girlfriends," she added with the same level of teasing.

Near the back of the room, Ami sighed at that exchange. Mii turned to her. "What's wrong? You aren't jealous of her, are you?"

Ami shook her head. "No. If it was anyone else, I'd be jealous that she was getting a father figure. But I don't want Rob as a father figure. No, it just hit me that if I marry Rob, I'm going to have a daughter who's only three years younger than me."

"Oh. I didn't think of that." Mii paused for a moment, then added, "You'd better marry him first, Ami. You're a medical student."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"You're actually being trained to give your little girl The Talk."

As Mii's words sank in, Ami's face turned red.
