Whether or not she'd regret it, that remained to be seen. Peggy could allow for a little wiggle room. Her confidence tended to be more surface than people realized, and she was perfectly capable of having a crisis all on her own over whether or not she'd thought too much and analyzed something to pieces only to come to exactly the wrong conclusion anyway. It was the opposite problem of when she acted quickly on instinct and found she should've stopped to think. That was something she tended to think she'd acquired from Steve, who definitely suffered from a sort of fix it impulse control problem- see a problem, want to fix it, possibly make the problem bigger out of good intentions and poor execution.
She hoped, desperately, this wasn't about to be one of those. Children weren't impossible by any means, but Cassie was about to find herself in a particularly difficult situation. One she'd have to weather with strangers instead of family, and one that might lose her a parent in the process.
"You've already helped Steve," she remarked, eyes remaining steady on Scott even if mentioning the other man made her want to look around for where Steve might've gotten off to. "When he first started talking about this sort of thing... he didn't have much support. That you were willing to listen and help look at the problem, it means a great deal to me. As it does that you're here tonight, continuing the discourse." They needed all the help they could get.
