"Don't worry about what Jemma said. She's just not comfortable around babies," Hope says.
Hope holds Isaiah closer as he smiles.
"You are delightful. You really are," Hope whispers.
Isaiah laughs as Hope swaddles him in his sea foam green blanket and makes sure he's comfortable for their long walk.
Hope loads the fully packed diaper bag below and gets Isaiah settled into his Silver Cross pram, and then grabs Joy's keys before pulling the back door closed.
"We have work to do today, Isaiah, and some very important people to meet. Oakey dokey, artichokey?" Hope says as she smiles.
Isaiah looks right at Hope and smiles too as they begin their trek into town.

Thank you. As always, you are very kind.

Like Erin Brokovich decided to calm the hell down, and had a baby.
I should stop letting my imagination run away with me, I hope you write the rest of what sounds like a wonderful story (though it's actually very full and contained in itself too). Very nice.
Thank you for that hilarious comment. It's lovely to see you visit here.
You are right on target as far as the new beginnings, but the baby is not hers. Joy's character has the delightful son, named Isaiah.
As for Hope's character, that would be a good way to describe her. When necessary, she is a bit feisty in order to protect those who need it.
