Ruth leaned on the glass a bit, still tired and sore, but unable to stay away. Marianne was wearing the almost expected pink pajamas, with a little cap to keep her head warm. She was a restless sleeper, which made sense since she'd rarely given Ruth a full day or night without bouncing around inside her.

She shook her head. How extraordinary was the human body, to have something so complex come out of it. She said a little prayer of thanks, absentmindedly expressing her awe. She laughed a little, when she saw her feet kicking.

"Guess it's true what they say." She said out loud. "Start as you mean to go on." Her little girl was going to be a handful, that much was obvious.

Hearing the other voice by the glass, Erick smiled. She looked tired but happy which probably meant she was one of the new mothers. There in the nursery was her child and she had a new family.

"Which one is yours?" He asked with an easy smile. It was hard not to feel a little jealous but he knew she had already gone through a lot so it was better to share in the happiness rather than dwell on what he didn't have.

She glanced up to see the older gentleman in a lab coat and a kind smile speaking to her. Blushing a little (an after the many indignities that go along with pregnancy and childbirth, it was amazing that she still COULD blush). she pointed Marianne out. "The one who looks like she's trying to ride a bicycle on her back."

Smiling at her daughter, she added, "Not that it surprises me. She was pretty active the whole time I was carrying her. Settled a bit with music, but she's going to be a handful." A beautiful, beautiful handful.

Erick looked over at the baby the girl pointed out. She was indeed kicking in the air happily. "It's a good sign her being active already. She's adapting to the outside world pretty quickly. Not all babies thrive like that." Erick told her with a chuckle as he watched the baby.

Chances are her mother was right, she would be handful when the time came but clearly also loved.

"Being kept on your toes isn't a bad thing,at least you'll never be bored right?"
