"I'm alright. Really I am. It just... kinda hit me all at once that I couldn't..." He paused to try and get ahold of his tears, coughing gently in his throat. "Y-you wouldn't know, but I'm not- like the Gobo you know, I'm a Mariggle, and Lexi is like that too..."
The softest laugh, part genuine part stress, as he looked down at the baby in his arms, lightly touching his face. "It's silly. Having a baby isn't the end result of anything, 'specially not for Fraggles... But holdin' Frizzle, it kinda sunk in who he is, and..."
And despite trying to stop them, more tears made their way down his snout, silently plinking down on the back of his hand and his arm as he rested it on the infant's stomach.
