[A bastard child? He'd vanish, or worse, be raised in a hostile and abusive environment. Lucci needs somewhere he can grow up and be loved.]

The baby rocks forward, free hand reaching to try to catch the finger that got his nose while his other hand tugs more on Anders' hair. It's all right. This is a good reason for pain, and aside from a brief wince, Anders is wearing a smile. He's actually got a hand in Lucci's hair, playing with the little curls while the other holds the baby steady.]
