I would love for Edgar to one day have a kid of his own, but I feel as though that is represented enough through his animated doll. On top of that, I know the hassle of PCs carrying around NPCs with them at all times, and I imagine the workload involved with caring for a child would not translate well into walk-up RP ("Why aren't you at home watching the kid?"). Shan-Shan is always on Edgar's person, sticking her head out of his bag, and her lack of want or need for food or water, along with her ability to care for herself when needed, makes her much better suited for a child and much easier to roleplay.
It'd be nice if Ed ever became a dad, great for his character, but it just isn't happening.
