You've seen what becomes of orphaned children.

[ It's surprising that he hasn't attempted to force the child out of her grasp, by now - although she knows William not to be a terrible man. Perhaps he's a bit soft for children, as well. ]

Even if I'd make a horrid mother, she'll-- at least be.. warm and fed...

[ Now that she's saying it aloud, she realizes that William is right, in that sense. If she managed to take care of the girl around her schedule, she'd still feel terribly neglected. ]

Oh, God, Will. You're right, I have no idea what I'm doing.

[ Head falling back with a halfhearted sob, Grell closes her eyes for the briefest moment as her head rests against the cushion. ]

All that I do know is that I'm dreadfully attached to this little thing. Babies are messy, smelly, noisy - I haven't been able to sleep, and I look like hell... But when she looks into my eyes, holds my finger, or even just sleeps peacefully, I feel as though I could do anything for her.
