44. I didn't want to say that one out loud

I suspected that you might be at the starting gate, rather than the grand finish, but hey, your kiddo is being born after a truly monumental week. At least he or she waited for all the hoopla to be over and done with.

This is an adventure that just keeps adventuring. May you two get some rest tonight. It may be the last for a while.
