"P'Brick." the voice called out to Brick when he was walking with Ob and Ingfah. Brick turned to look and raised an eyebrow slightly as he was trying to recall who was in front of him.

"Hey, Pitch?" Brick greeted back with a mix of surprise and confusion at seeing the other person here since they hadn’t met in a very long time.

"Yes, it’s me! I didn’t expect to see you here. Who are you with?" Pitch asked with a smile, glancing at the two little kids standing beside Brick. Ob was clinging to Brick’s leg, staring quietly at Pitch.

"This is Ingfah, my niece, and this is Ob, my eldest son," Brick introduced, causing Pitch to pause for a moment.

"Child? … And where’s P'Day?" Pitch immediately asked about Day because he unconsciously assumed that Brick had a child with a woman and wondered where Day was.

"Day is here too; I forgot to mention. Ob is my child with Day. We’re co-parenting," Brock responded with a smile. Pitch sighed softly before looking at Ob and crouching down in front of the little boy.

"Hello there! I'm Pitch," Pitch introduced himself to Ob, who continued to stare at him.

"Can I ask, who’s Ob's sperm donor?"  Pitch asked curiously.

"Day’s," Brick replied. Pitch chuckled softly.

"That’s not surprising because he doesn’t seem to like my face very much," Pitch said playfully, not feeling bad about it; he was just teasing Brick.

"Come on, that's not true! Ob, say hi to Uncle Pitch," Brick urged his son, and Ob raised his hand in greeting.

"Hello!" Ob said, and Pitch smiled in response.

"You mentioned he’s the eldest, does that mean there’s a younger one?" Pitch asked when he remembered.

"Yes, that one is mine. Day is currently feeding him. Shall we go find Day?" Brick suggested.

"Sure!" Pitch agreed, as he wanted to greet Day as well.

"Who are you here with?" Brick asked.

"With my friends over there; you should remember. They are over there," Pitch pointed to where his tent was set up with his friends. "I was about to go wash my hands at the faucet and then ran into you. I’ll be right back," Pitch explained and walked away to wash his hands. He returned shortly after.

"Daddy, looking for Daddy!" Ob exclaimed.

"Let’s go find Daddy Day," Brick said. Ingfah held Ob’s hand as they walked together, with Brick and Pitch following behind.

"Daddy!" Ob ran straight toward Day, who was feeding little Anda and had everything cleaned up. Little Anda was currently gnawing on a teething ring. Day turned to look, raising an eyebrow when he saw the young man walking with Brick. Everyone turned to look as well.

"Hello, P'Day, do you remember me?" Pitch waved to everyone and greeted Day. Day paused slightly.

"You're Pitch, right?" Day asked, recognizing the person who had entered the life of his lover.

"Yes, it’s me," Pitch confirmed with a smile.

"It’s a small world to meet here," Day said in a normal tone, not sarcastically at all, which Pitch knew well.

"I was surprised too, and I’m even more surprised that you two have two children now," Pitch responded, glancing at little Anda, who was still chewing on the teething ring and looking up at him.

"Yes, you probably know Ob. This little one is Anda," Day introduced while lifting little Anda up.

"Looks like a miniature version of P'Brick," Pitch said with a smile.
