Sometimes it was difficult to remember just old Chayse was and tried to mark the time by when she met her milestones, so Pepper could easily sympathize with her statement on the passage of time and how each day seemed to run into the next.
"Ella, have you ever heard of a mother's instinct? That feeling when you know that something is wrong with your child or that he's hungry or needs changing? A mother just knows these things. I don't know how much time you spent with your son after he was born, but I feel that no matter how much time had gone past, you would still walk past him and know that it was your son because you are his mother and you carried him within you. So no, I don't think it would be possible for you to stand next to him and not know him." She said, pushing some more cut up vegetables aside towards the pot where Ella was cooking. "I didn't know you were pregnant again. Congratulations."
