Well, time to find out just how good Steven is as an emotional support animal and how much rum you can put into egg nog until it stops tasting of eggs.
Two thoughts:
1. I distinctly remember another Christmas story where Noah invited himself to Beverly and Tara’s new home for Christmas and promised “to be out ouf their hair by New Year’s” (when he met Sarah the first time). So three days should be less traumatic – unless Tara expects that their potential for mischief has grown since then 😉
2. Maybe Tara’s parents are so welcoming of Sarah because her and Noah’s relationship is their only (at least theoretical) hope to get grandchildren. Tara’s and Beverly’s love may be grand and wondrous, but it won’t get either of them pregnant…
That’s why I said “theoretical” – his body looked male at that one strip where he dove into a lake wearing only swimming trunks, and his character bio lists him as “Asexual”. For me, that means: “he has the necessary tools but chooses not to use them” (which is fine, live and let live).

You’re missing a point: HE is a trans. That means female to male. That means he don’t have the “necessary tools” to make Sarah pregnant to begin with.
Well, I’m indeed quite curious abaut Sarah’s family; her middle and last names are both very Italians, if she’s actually on of us that would add even more spicy…

This smell like incoming shenanigans.

Oh yeah. In Tara’s favour, she DOES have Steven with her to keep an eye on Sarah…
Michael Steamweed
Poor Tara. She’s going to need all the coffee and/or hot chocolate.
Flodarien
Why is there an Or in there?
Michael Steamweed
I’m not certain of her caffeine needs. Hells, she might even be a (gasp; shudder) tea drinker.

Coffee is Bean Tea

Noah and Sarah’s relationship can be summarized as “Partners in Crime” and I am here for it.
Eath
Tara’s Dad is a wise man.
All-Purpose Guru
Noah and Sarah make a cute couple (? Partnership? Revenge cult? Whatever it is)
Wurzelkoch
It’s quite established that they are in a queerplatonic relationship and don’t call themselves couple.
notStanley
geez Mom, at least let her take off her coat and get started on that first glass of eggnog, before putting her to work :}
Michael Steamweed
A first glass of eggnog with appropriate holiday spirit(s) in it.
CoopThePanda
Noah and Sarah are here. I am all the way in. Break out the popcorn and let the insanity commence!
Satyr
Gonna need that egg now spiked this holiday.
jeffepp
And it’s her fault. She introduced them.
Opus the Poet
I assume Siobhan is Tara’s mother and Gary is her father.
Drew
“Rerolled those bad boys once.” What does that mean?
Adeon
He’s referring to his pronouns. He already changed them once when he came out as trans so in RPG parlance he rerolled his pronouns.
Basically he’s just clarifying that Gary’s use of “they” refers to Noah and Sarah and that he hasn’t switched to using they/them pronouns.
Queju
Wait, he’s transmasc? When did that come up?
Al
“Do I even *have* a family of my own? Who knows!”
Glad to have you here, Sarah. After recent events, will be interesting to see how she behaves without Steven keeping an eye on things.
dysartes
…*without* Steven? The Master of Borf is right there in panel 1!

Just now realizing that Tara’s mother and my mother have the same name. Siobhan isn’t very common.
Perpetually tired ostrich
If Bev calls Steven, will he appear near her, or does only Tara have that power?

1. Oh, their potential sure has grown.
2. Maybe you miss the little detail that Noah is trans. So yeah, we have a total of 4 people and 0 dicks. XD
Phoenix
Noah is trans, so they wouldn’t have any luck either

I appreciate the reference to Family Gathering #4

Good For Thought
To summarize:
Noah brought a +1 so for once he gets the guest couple bedroom and Tara is delegated to the bedroom equivalent of the kid’s table.
Ranb
What does “rerolled those bad boys” mean?
Duvi
swapped his pronouns! Noah’s trans
Ranb
Knew Noah is trans; just did not know what re-rolled meant. 🙂
