"You're practically my age and you have two," Sable points out. "My mom had me when she was still a teenager. I want someone to take care of. It's what I do, Lulu. In my world, I was... sort of like a healer. I was an EMT, I went on an ambulance and answered calls from people whose lives were in danger, and I took care of them. I stopped their bleeding, I helped them breathe, I got their hearts to beat, and then I made sure they got to the hospital alive, where they could be treated by doctors who could give them more intensive care if they needed it. I know I could be a good mother. I want a baby because... because I just do. I have money. I have a good, stable business and a good place to live. I'm good at running the bookshop, but it's not something I ever wanted to give my life to. It doesn't make much sense for me to just stop and drop it when so many people love my place and depend on it sometimes because of how I have free food and tea and a place to sleep that's warm and comfortable and clean... and it's not that running it makes me unhappy. I love books, and I love my shop and my regulars and all that I do, but back home... you don't even know how much I worked my ass off to get that certification. It's all I ever wanted to do, and I still want it. I can't have it right now, because I have a business to run, but I could have a baby... I'd be able to treat any illness she or he ever got. I know all about how it works and what it's like to be pregnant and give birth and I know about kids. I want... someone to be really, completely, truly MINE. My family. My son or daughter. Someone to whom I can give everything I've achieved and earned here. Someone... the only one, now... who would really, truly, completely belong with me and in my life and my world."
