Text: To Jules
Who: Holly & Jules

When: Sat Sept 17th, 2028, morning
Warnings: TW: Adoption via family abandonment
Completion Status: Ongoing

Text to Jules: Hey Auntie Jules. Yes, you're Auntie in my book. Bea is settled in, we've got a bit of a routine going now, I'm beyond exhausted (did you know babies cry so much?! Like, all the time. She's okay, medically, she just cries a lot)...

Text to Jules: SO. Would you want to come over and meet your niece sometime soon? She's really only met Mum and Dad and Becca (obviously she's met Bex, she was in her care for a couple of months, lol, sorry I'm rambling, did I mention I'm exhausted?). You're next on the list, obviously.

Text to Jules: Let me know when you're free? Anytime, we'll work with your schedule, I'm still sort of in and out of the office when I can fit it in, lol.

Text to Jules: Love you, xo.

	I am 100% happy to be Auntie Jules! I'm planning to be back in country by next weekend, so how about brunch next Saturday? Is it strange that all the pics you've been sending have got me all tangled up with baby fever? I'm not sure Raz and I are there yet, but I'm also not sure I'd be disappointed if my bc failed 🤷‍♀️ LOVE YOU TOO! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	In that case Bea has the best 2 aunts in the history of the world between you and Becca! Saturday sounds wonderful. I can't wait! Can we choose somewhere more private? We're not sure about news getting out just yet... AND OMG. GIRL. Let me give her to you for a couple of nights and that may calm the baby fever, LOL. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I meant brunch at yours! I wouldn't dream of sharing such an important first meeting with the public! I would be more than happy to watch her for any amount of time if you and Xan need a break! Not even joking. If you ever need a babysitter, I will happily make myself available. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh thank goodness, that's so much easier. Anything in particular you'd like ordered in? 😘 You're AMAZING and I'm absolutely going to take you up on that sometime. Though, how's the traveling been? Finding any answers? 🫂 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know me, not picky! Good. I have a feeling Bea and I are going to get along swimmingly! So many answers. We'll have to figure out when we can have some one on one friends time so I can catch you up on all of the things. It's been wild and illuminating and absolutely terrifyingly brilliant.

I have the same feeling, once she's interested in more than sticking literally ~everything in her mouth, ignoring the word no, and rolling over from her back to her stomach at the most inconvenient times possible.

...I think stubbornness might be a genetic trait.

OMG YES! You name the date and time and I'll be there. I assume after brunch, though maybe we can do both after the big meet and greet :D
