[...Now on one hand, there was preserving his best friend/boyfriend's dignity and politely declining. That was what a good person probably would have done.]
[There's also the sacred duty of a mother to embarrass her son in front of his significant other, and we all know Holly takes her motherly role very seriously.]
Meet me in the library downstairs. I'll bring hot chocolate!
[better make the most of what's probably going to be the last time they'll ever allowed to be in the same room unsupervised]
Come on, sit down!
[And Holly's in the library as promised, photo album in her lap and two mugs of hot chocolate on the table nearby as she pats the space next to her excitedly. She gets to gush about her baby, eeeee--]
I still can't believe Jonathan found this in that Emporium place. Let's see here...
[flipflipflip through the pages of the older Joestars to get to the good stuff, hmmm...]
I'd believe it. [settling right in next to her because this pair is an unholy terror unto themselves.] I found a photo of us not too long after I got here, so I'd expect just about anything at this point.
[dog is a very valid point, but also not one she's really considering at the moment because baby]
Aw, I don't think I've seen that yet-- oh, here we go!
[ARE YOU READY, NORIAKI KAKYOIN because here is a spread of Very Very Small™ Jotaro Kujo. On the first page he'll recognize an un-greyed Joseph pushing Holly in a wheelchair as she cradles a grumpy little face bundled in blue blankets while a dark-haired man that looks an awful lot like Jotaro does now stands at her side with a hand on her shoulder. Then there's a few pictures of various family members holding and playing with the little thing (he's crying in the one with Joseph) and one with him sleeping peacefully on that dark-haired guy's chest.
And Holly might as well be melting into a cooing puddle right now.]
[But she's laughing, so how much she really disagrees is up for debate.
Flipping the page! Here we have the early toddler years: determined waddling in a onesie, curious peering into the creek that runs through the Kujo estate (with Holly watching nearby, of course), and making an utter mess of his birthday cake. Look at the boy who turned your life around, Kakyoin. Look at the early fish nerdery and all the icing on his face.]
Mm, he's always been such a sweet boy. [you can practically see the nostalgia goggles welded to her face] You want to see something really cute?
[A few more page turns brings them to early childhood, and sights such as the tiniest samurai, a certain whale plushie that apparently never left Jotaro's sight for several months, and fun in the sun.
But Holly points to one where those chubby cheeks are set into a very focused frown, his arms crossed as he proudly dons a familiar ensemble of a scarf, sunglasses, and heels, all of which are far too big for a child's stature.]
Oh my goodness, he loved that thing. For months I had the hardest time trying to get him to let go of it even for a bath.
[said with the utmost fondness, of course]
But he adored his Nanna Lisa even more. I remember he alternated between saying he was going to marry her and wanting to be her until one day he just decided he was going to do both.

Oh, he used to be so fussy whenever Papa held him - I don't think he liked the feeling of his metal hand much.
[or he came into the world and just Knew, either or]
