“I probably shouldn’t be bringing you here,” Brennan is saying as she comes through the door. “Family Services would frown on me removing you so far from their jurisdiction-if they were to acknowledge the existence of Milliways, of course. But the time differential here will help me to expedite the resolution of your case.”
Her companion, nestled snugly in his infant seat, looks both unimpressed and unconcerned. He’s a little too busy chewing on a red plastic ring and drooling down the front of his sleeper.
With a little bit of awkward juggling, Brennan settles the baby in his carrier on a tabletop (well away from the edges). She hangs the diaper bag over the back of her chair and takes a seat, opening the case file.
Which seems to be her temporary ward’s cue to fling his toy and begin making distressed noises.
Brennan sighs and picks up the toy, patiently trying to offer it back to him. The baby is having none of it right now.
“Well, as I said, at least we aren’t pressed for time here.”
Anyone know how to console a fussy preverbal infant?
