Afternoon Visitor!
Hal had been on the receiving end of a mass text alerting the usual suspects to the birth of baby Sam. Practically sober and showered, he made it a point to head in a few hours after the initial rush before lingering back and waiting for Bruce to head out. Hal liked Bruce, but he had already avoided Dinah, the last thing he needed was the man scowling at him.
Ill-prepared, he bought a stuffed bear wearing blue down in the hospital gift shop. He poked his head into the room and grin. "Have you lost some weight?" Yes, he did spend all morning trying to figure out the best opener.
He entered, setting the bear down among the mess of gifts from those before him and smirked at Dinah. "How ya feeling? I heard the kiddo looks just like you. Lucky guy." Why did this feel so awkward?
