[In all honesty, he gave up on the dream of fatherhood and family before the war even started. But living in it, sneaking around in the filth of it, seeing the very worst that people had to offer-- that kind of solidified it. How could he in good conscience, start a family in this?
Then he met Diana and well. A lot of plans changed after that.
Not saying he wants to put a ring on it and settle down and pop out 2.5 kids. Maybe someday. He definitely would not mind spending the rest of his natural born days at her side. But he doesn't want to force her into a place in his world that she doesn't belong. She's not a housewife, he doesn't want her to be. He wants her to be exactly what she is and if that doesn't fit into normal, then well.
He's not normal either.
If she wants it, then there's a good chance he'll want it but he's not going to ask even if he notices how she much she coos over his great great (great?) niece. He missed his first niece. And the one after her too. And maybe he'll have a part in this newest one's life, or maybe he and Diana will fade to the background. His brother's grandson is an old man now. It's hard to deal with sometimes.]
I think she'd like that very much. [As much as babies can like anything but it's the thought that counts. Elisabeth can say when she grows up that she got a seashell necklace from Wonder Woman herself.]
Though I think the shells would look better on you than on me.
oops i love you more
