[Guess who's had a little practice explaining human families to trolls?]
Not a lusus, but an equivalent in our culture, yes. I'm his mother. Or I will be. In four years, from my perspective.
Humans pair off (we just have the one romantic relationship, rather than quadrants like you do. The one relationship is closest to your matespiritship), one male one female. They marry, promising to be a unit for life. Their combined genetic material becomes a new human and grows within the female, who gives birth to the child and raises him or her. The male protects them and provides for them. Such a family unit often has more than one child.
James and I will just have the one. Harry. And he's here, all grown up.
