“That’s wonderful Eela. I am glad that you got to experience that with her.” Sharah wondered about that. How people made the choices they did of who attended the birth and who did not. Charles and Yavia had mentioned children. Would Yavia want her grandmother there? Would she want Charles’ mother there, would she be comfortable with that? Certainly not herself. Sharah wasn’t an obstetrician and she would want Yavia to have the best doctor. Besides, it had nothing to do with her, that was between them. Ah well, it wasn’t like her parents were going to have grandchildren through her anyway. If they did, it would be when Andrew decided to settle down. Sharah grinned, “Babies are wonderful. They remind us of the joy of life, watching them experience everything we take for granted, as new and wondrous.”

She nodded. “Yes. There is also just that pure energy that is hard to describe to someone who isn’t psi-positive. It’s why I think I really will see about spending a little time at the hospital with the babies. I think there is something healing about that innocence and their relatively simple needs that could be quite healing. It’s like the more chaotic my life becomes, the more I need to double-down on finding time to be still and quiet, to listen to my own internal voice. Given how much it’s been drowned out over the years, it’s proving to be something of a challenge.”

Sharah nodded, “It is important to know what is you and what is everyone else. Especially when things are intense. Whether that intensity is happy or sad. Otherwise we can lose ourselves to it. But visiting the babies is always a volunteer opportunity. They don’t judge and they need the contact. It is a but if a process to go through to be approved, but Jal’na swears it is worth the reward.” Sharah chuckled. The tough mean head PT caught all kinds of ribbing for her time with the infants, but she didn’t seem to mind.

Eela smiled. She was pretty sure she could pass a background check, but that didn’t mean there wouldn’t be hoops to jump through. “What exactly is the process?” she asked. Better to know in advance. Besides, if it was going to take time, she wanted to get on it sooner rather than later.
