Help, I need somebody

[dalectable]

My apologies, but is there a healer or doctor among us...? I'm in need of some assistance.

He did.

I spent some time studying midwifery in Bando.

[As one does on the murderjaunt]

[dalectable]

I sincerely hope he wasn't asking you to teach him midwifery? [Because the idea of Riddick attempting to help deliver their child is sweet yet mildly alarming.]

[dino_zarf]

No, only baby wrangling.

[It's a different category]

But I might be able to answer... some questions.

[dalectable]

That seems more like him.

... I take it you helped deliver your daughter?

[dino_zarf]

Zoe was infiltrated, so it was the only way to be there.

[The logical course of action]

[dalectable]

... You're a good man, Wash. Zoe is a lucky woman. [Wherever she is.]

How do you feel about delivering a baby that isn't yours, from a woman who is definitely not your wife? I suspect midwives are in short supply here.

[dino_zarf]

I did it a few times on the Jaunt.

[Couldn't exactly walk away suddenly]

If you need my help, I'll be there.

[dalectable]

Thank you. [Her relief is very palpable through the Network - a wave of shuddering relief as she can find it in herself to relax a bit further.] I was worried about what might happen if the infant survives to full term... Something tells me Riddick wouldn't know the first thing of what to do should I go into labor.

[dino_zarf]

Hand holding and brow mopping are the usual jobs for the dad. When there isn't an overlay complicating things.

[This is his life]

I have a book you two might find useful.

[He liked having the information in it, anyway]

[dalectable]

I've never been much of a reader, but for this, I think I could make myself sit and study.

[dino_zarf]

I picked it up in Samartia. I liked being able to find out how the baby was growing every week.
