Jane F & Steve R
Jane perked up a little when he said there wasn't any reason to not be at the party. That was good, because she'd definitely assumed that babies needed time before they could be out in the world with other people and all their germs. Steve was totally the sort of person who knew better about all that stuff anyway.
"Yea? Well she's probably not great company but I should probably take her out more. That's probably a good idea if I can do that." She was going to have to start thinking about some places she could take Lizbet that wouldn't completely distract her from being a good mom.
"Just don't steal her every time I'm reading or I'm going to get you back for it." It wasn't an empty threat at all, but she was mostly teasing.
