"Gonna have to," said Randy. "The only way out of it'd be if they determined she wat'n special class... an' that don't look too likely so far."

"What if she regrets it?" Kurt asked.

"I'd just hafta make sure she understands why it was done an' why it's important," Randy replied softly.

"What if that's not good enough?" Kurt asked.

Randy frowned. "Then I donno. Sometimes there just ain't nothin' else you can do."

"She'll probably be scared and upset, you think you can deal with that?" Kurt asked.

Randy nodded. "Gonna have to," he repeated.

Kurt gave him a pat, "I know you'll do a good job, little Randy loves you a lot and I think you can get her through anything,".

"She got a lot ahead of 'er," said Randy. "At least I already been through most of it myself."

"I know you'll both be fine," said Kurt giving him a kiss.

Randy nodded. "Was kinda thinkin' I might have at least one more someday, though, you know?"

Kurt nodded and gave him a pat, "Yeah, at least you got to have as many as you did," he said.

Randy smiled again. "Eight ain't bad at all. Nine if you count Bert."

"You really like that Bert, don't you?" Kurt asked.

"'Course I do," said Randy. "I love 'im."

"He's grown a lot in such a short time," said Kurt.
