We have called him Fortunato. He appears to have inherited human skin colouring. This is acceptable and probably for the best. While I cannot currently take his body as host - my symbiotes will take several years to properly map his neural pathways for my consciousness - it is useful that he will have an easier time blending than my current body does.
We have of course replaced the cot that was stolen. Sophie has received an offer to join a local school; while there are benefits to a large family, she is still reasonably young and could quite feasibly make a useful contribution to the shambles of the education system. I can take whatever time off work I desire - none would dare gainsay it - so I can care for Fortunato in all but the most obvious biological requirements. It seems worthwhile for her to pursue this opportunity as it may not arise again.
