And while the idea of Delenn pulling the "of course I'm on birth control/we can't have kids" trick kind of horrifies me, I...can also see her doing it for exactly the reason you suggest.
Yup. I hesitated to mention the possibility because, seriously, how wrong can you GET, but... it's Delenn. And in my head, Delenn is always a little bit heavy-handed, high-and-mighty "I know so much better than you" about everything, and not at all above deception and outright lies to get what she wants and/or thinks is Right.
I will admit that Sheridan recording that message for his unborn kid because he's not going to see said kid live past eighteen brings me really, really close to tears.
Yeah, me too. I love that stupid scene. It's long and unwieldy and probably should have been edited, but oh my god I love it and it makes me want to hug Sheridan a lot. ...I also love that his first piece of advice to David is not so much "I'll always love you" or "always trust yourself," or even the "don't start a fight, but always finish it" thing from his dad... no, it's how David should always listen to Delenn, because she's scary awesome. Bless. ♥
