"Hi," Ashley greeted Novelia, though relieved that Katie scooped her up. She was a fine child, Ashley just didn't know how to handle her. It made her terrified that she would have no idea how to handle her own kid either, even though she was constantly reassured about the whole "mother's intuition". She wasn't sure if she could believe it.
She allowed herself to settle on the sofa, glancing over her shoulder at Katie with Novelia. She hoped-- like always, when she saw them-- that she would know how to raise her baby to be as least fucked up as possible.
At least Jack's normal, she thought to herself. Or, maybe not... considering he'd stuck with her through so much of her abnormalities. She still wondered why-- hearing that he loved her seemed like too simple of an answer. She figured he must be a saint or angel or something. Silly, possibly... but she believed it.
