Hmmm... somehow I can't say I loved this chapter. The focus suddenly shifted from "aww, Mina is back and now they have a pet, too! can't wait to see how they upgraded her!" to getting a child, although metaphorically. The slight jealousy bits were fun, but...
The updates Mina's undergone seem to be a bit lacking, too. I don't know... where did all the warm and fuzzy feelings go?
Maybe just me.
