He might not be as close to them as he'd once been, which for his sake was a good thing, but the fact that he was more distant from them didn't mean that they cared less.

"I keep coming back to the delivery though. Who is going to deliver her if we're on our own?" she said. "And what if something happens? At least there we'll have a hospital if something goes wrong." If Vance let them use it that was.
