trente-et-un ° dictated

[There's a soft cooing as Violet rocks a baby who can't be older than a few months.]

She looks like Sunny when she sleeps, my little sister. I'm not entirely sure how this happened-- not the logistics. [She knows about the birds and the bees.] But I've never really thought of being a mother before. I could take care of a baby though, if I had to. It's not any different than my siblings.

[The baby makes a small noise and she can't help the laugh.] I feel very protective of her, and I'm not even sure if she has a name. Do they? Do we know?

She has my mother's eyes.

You got a kid? [a moment to process]

I bet you make an awesome mom!

I'm not sure how it happened either, but I got one too. Named him after my father.

I don't think they have names until you give them names.

...glad to hear someone else is happy to have a kid to look out for.

Thank you, Percy. I've already been watching my sister the past two years. She wasn't much older when my parents died.

I think I may name her after my mother.

I am used to it. It has been strange to be here almost a year without caring for someone.

You have someone back home?

My siblings. I'm the eldest. The youngest is only two.

You should take lots of pictures!

Do you want to meet her? I think I'll name her Beatrice, after my mother.

I'd love to meet her!

Beatrice is a great name.

I was thinking of taking her threw the town. I need to pick up a few things.

--If you'd like to join us.

Sure! I'll be there.

Great. I'll be there in about a half hour. She needs to finish eating.

Cool. [Percy is totally bringing a camera]

[It's roughly a half hour when she heads down, Bea in a blue dress and matching ribbon in her hair. Violet has her in a stroller with a tiny screwdriver to play with.]
