DS: Prometheus Chiron Tate-Abelli "Prom"In the Beginning
Jack and Alonzo are among those who have very little money. Despite increased acceptance towards same-sex couples, both were disowned by their family when they came out. They're doing their best to make it through on their own, both of them bartending to save up some money. Alonzo dreams of seeing the stars and travelling to different planets, but they can't afford to do that now. Because of that, they enter the raffle as often as possible. Jack is still enthralled by the old books and academia, and he plays his part in the virtually secret sale and trade of books and information.Year One
Jack and Alonzo managed to secure a proper birth permit, but they had no idea what they intended to do with it. Neither one was sure that they wanted to start a family at all, let alone now, and they certainly weren't going to crawl into bed with a woman just for that. Still, they wanted the permit just in case they decided to start a family by other means.A month after receiving their permit, a friend of Alonzo's approached the couple, frantically begging them to take her unborn child. Rumors were flying that some permits had been illegally purchased. Some of those rumors weren't completely untrue. Andromeda and Nathan had wanted a child for the past four years, but they had been unable to receive a permit. They had finally spent their entire life savings to bribe a government official into giving them what they so desperately needed. At the last minute, a week before the baby was due, fear took over Andromeda. She was afraid someone would discover what they had done, and take away her baby. She gave birth at home rather than at the hospital, and she forced Alonzo to take the child before she even had a chance to see it. She was trusting Alonzo to protect her, and by taking the baby, if questioned, he could say that he and Jack had convinced Andromeda to carry the baby for them. By doing that, both Andromeda and the child would be covered under the birth permit they held.So just like that, Jack and Alonzo became parents, virtually overnight. They named the baby boy Prometheus Chiron because of the old myths. Prometheus was essentially the Titan of forethought and intelligence, and Chiron was a centaur known for his intelligence, kindness, and wisdom. Both hope the child can live up to his name.
