Derek smiled somewhat sheepishly and gave Alex a warm hug. "I suppose," he
admitted, "but don't get accustomed to it. Daddy," he intoned thoughtfully.
"Is that what she should call me?" He wasn't sure, he did know that he
didn't want his child calling him father, but that's all he knew right now.
Nick's question caught his attention and he turned his eyes towards the
younger man. "No, she doesn't. You are the first to know, outside of
JOnathan who, seems to just figure these things out. I'm beginning to
believe that he might actually have the Sight."
