I especially like the detail of JJ having leftover dog biscuits and him having once used a trashcan lid as a shield. The apple did not fall far from the tree, Steve.
The fact that Steve was somewhat of a stay-at-home dad probably meant that he had more opportunity to influence JJ's views on life than Nora.
Steve: I got a call from the school, it said you were late for class. JJ: There was a cat stuck in a gutter. I had to free it. Steve: Oh, okay then.
Steve: *mopping up a bloody nose* You need to block with your fists. JJ: My fists are too small! Steve: Find something to put between you and their fists, then. JJ: Okay. Steve: But try not to fight at all. JJ: But there was a dog. Steve: ....is the dog okay? JJ: Yes. Steve: Okay, good.
I can so see Steve and Nora correcting each others' stories.
I've actually been working on JJ's birth, and this is totally what will happen due to how each of them prioritizes things. Steve just wants Nora to get to the place with all the magical modern medicine that makes babies not die any more (and is completely baffled that some women don't want to do that and want to give birth in a forest without painkillers, look at all the baby-saving things you have, people!), and Nora is more concerned that they have food for when they get home with the baby, so she's making spaghetti and everything will be fine, Steve. Then Steve is happy because they are at the hospital where all the magical medicine is, and Nora is like 'this takes a really long time and is not pleasant'. Therefore each of them have a skewed time frame on how long it all took.
Do I really need to apply 100 questions to Winnie? Apparently, I do.
Yeah. OCs are a gateway drug, I swear. Do you want to know about Nora's nephew? I can tell you about him. Or the fact she has a resistance to local anaesthetic, so Tony gave her a trial numbing device for if the epidural didn't work? Or that she makes cookies when she can't sleep? It's addictive.
