    Summary

    The sabbatical was supposed to be an ending. Instead: one foundling infant, one guest, and Jack Abbot on his couch in borrowed clothes.

    Robby is learning how to stay. It turns out he has help.

    aka Robby was looking for an ending on the back of a motorcycle, and he found a beginning in a bassinet instead.

    aka the "Robby takes in Baby Jane Doe" fic that we've all wanted.
