It was quite interesting though so they might as well get an answer. "That's not answering his question though, Artemis." The small girl said challengingly. She was side stepping the question! Daddy said that wasn't nice to do! "We have time to find the books!" Robin said with a grin toward Brett. "Answer the question first!"
"But she's not a baby! She's big! Two years old! She can walk and talk and everything! I want to be the uncle of a baby!" Ro pouted, tears started to form in his eyes. That wasn't far! They were dating so they could supply nieces and nephew's for him! What other reason could they be dating? "Alright, we'll find books. When should I be expecting this baby though Mr. Brett? A week? A month? Two months is a lot but I'll even wait for that." Ro nodded and then looked toward Rari. She was backing him up! Good! He couldn't talk to adults alone.
Brett raised an eyebrow as Robin insisted that he answer the posed question. My, my, this little girl had quite the spunk. His gaze moved towards the little boy who was becoming tearful as he protested the fact that he was not an uncle of a baby. Where did these little kids get this information?
A what?!! Brett actually took a step back towards the main floor and shot a look of consternation towards Artie.

Artie wouldn't soon forget about this visit. Merlin help them.
Her smile had faded, being replaced by a small frown. Her gaze turned toward Robin as the young girl challenged her, her frown deepened. "You're reminding me too much of me right now, Robin." Artemis stated simply rather than reply directly to Row's question, eying the little brunette gently. Something was not right here, she was beginning to feel set up. Robin trying to put a hold on finding a book (the whole reason they had come) to have questions answered first only confirmed those feelings. Artie shook her head, "Nope. This is not up for discussion, let's go find books." Gesturing for the two to go ahead first, she gave Brett an apologetic look, about to say something when Sparrow continued.
Artie sighed, looking down at the little boy. This.. was unbelieveable. The warmth in her cheeks was never going to fade at this rate, only become more pronounced. "Sparrow, it doesn't.. work that way." Two months! If she weren't so shocked by the whole thing, Artie would have laughed. But she wasn't laughing, this was too random to be random. She and Brett hadn't even really ever talked about that far into the future before. "One day I'm sure you will be, just not tomorrow.. or next month." Fair enough?
It was funny how they brought this up now, rather than earlier. Or at home. Or even to Tyson, whom had a daughter already. Why didn't they bother him about more children?
End of discussion, yes? Artie nodded finally to Brett, stepping outside of the door as well and waited for the twins to follow. "Yes. Let's do that, please." Had she mentioned yet that she was very sorry?
Brett simply listened as Artie reprimanded the two kids, and attempted to explain that things just didn't work that way. In the future? Yes...perhaps...if things went well, but they certainly were nowhere near thoughts of marriage much less children, not that he wouldn't be opposed to that one day.
He straightened up and began walking towards the counter. They would have to talk alone later. "Come now, we'll go check out the big book of books." He said with a hint of a smile towards Artie. "Robin, are you the only one who wants a book?"
