"Yeah," he agrees, studying that little face. He can't be sure, yet, whether she'll look more like John or Mary or simply like herself, but he knows he's looking forward to finding out. And despite how stubbornly he may protest that children merely contribute to an overpopulation problem and so forth, this particular child is extraordinary to him because his two dearest friends created her.
He glances up at Molly, her face warm and open. The smile really does make a huge difference. It's going to be very difficult not to kiss her senseless before John gets back.
"By the way," he hears himself saying, "in the lower pocket on the front of my suitcase. For you."
One of his contacts in Cardiff is a shop owner who specializes in Welsh woolen goods, and on his way out of her shop a very soft shawl caught his eye. It's hand-dyed in rich shades of brown and russet, colours that remind him of her, and though he's rarely seen her wear a shawl somehow it seemed like it would be wrong not to see it on her at least once.
