In one corner of the infirmary, Bonnie is resting with a new arrival.

The baby opens her eyes, and peers around...

"Hello, Bonnie," Harman says. "How are you?"

[is_the_motion]

"Tired and sore, but relieved." Bonnie says. "How are you?"

[witchfinder_general]

"Thank you, very well," Harman says. "So this is Billie Rae?"

[is_the_motion]

"Sure is." Bonnie says. "Hard ter get used to not havin' the bump."

[witchfinder_general]

"Who is she named for?" Father Harman asks.

[is_the_motion]

"Turtle thought it would be fittin' to name her after Bill." Bonnie says softly. "As a sort of closure, I think. And Rae after my birth partner."

[witchfinder_general]

"Our Rae Seddon helped bring her into the world?" Harman says, smiling.

[is_the_motion]

"She did, she held my hand and was there fer me." Bonnie says. "Guppy delivered her."

[witchfinder_general]

"Will you want her baptized?" Harman asks.

[is_the_motion]

"Yes, but at home." Bonnie says. "Turtle and the kids will want to be there."

[witchfinder_general]

"Of course," Harman says. "Not by an Elvis impersonator, I hope?"

[is_the_motion]

Bonnie laughs.

"No, Alvin will likely do it."

[witchfinder_general]

"Well, that is much better."

[is_the_motion]

"Yes, Alvin is a good boy, and I don't think there's any rules against baptising family."

[witchfinder_general]

"No, there is nothing wrong with it all," Harman says.

[is_the_motion]

"Unless I make him godfather, then he'd have ter talk to himself."

[witchfinder_general]

"That would make things awkward," Father Harman agrees.

[is_the_motion]

"We'll see anyhow." Bonnie says. "It don't have to be right away.

"Would you like to hold her?"

[witchfinder_general]

"Wouldn't that worry her?" Harman asks. "She is very small."

[is_the_motion]

"Only if you dunk her upside down in water." Bonnie says.

[witchfinder_general]

"I'm not likely to do that," Harman says.

He holds out his arms for her.

[is_the_motion]

Bonnie carefully hands Billie over. The baby peers up at him with little bleary eyes.

[witchfinder_general]

"Hello, little Billie Rae," Harman says, looking into her eyes.

[is_the_motion]

Billie looks back, and gives another little yawn.

"Cain't believe she got so much hair." Bonnie says.

[witchfinder_general]

"Shouldn't she?" Harman says.
