1/30

Hey.
You haven't talked to Steve about Hope yet, have you?

Because he heard you on Harry's post about the Loveboard and he's kind of freaking out.

I haven't talked to anyone who hasn't shown up at my home in the past month and a half, so no.

Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned Steve, but I didn't mention his last name and he doesn't know anything about me so I don't know why he'd be freaking out. He's not even the only Steve in New Dodge. Did you say something?

[woundedwinter]

I haven't said anything to him, but he's asking me. [Steve is not a stupid man, he was going to figure it out sooner or later.]

He deserves to know, even if you don't want him to be a part of her life.

I've been too exhausted to even think about it. (And the mun has been sick for several weeks now.) I fully intend to tell him, but it's not like he and I have any connection, so it's tough to think of how to start the conversation. You, he's known all his life. I'm some woman he talked to for thirty seconds the day he showed up here.

As for being part of Hope's life... that's up to him and whatever trust he and I develop. I certainly wouldn't keep her from him, I mean I don't know this Steve, but it's Steve freaking Rogers, I know he's a good guy.

But I also don't want him to feel like I expect anything from him. He didn't sign on for this and he's not responsible in any way. I mean, I'd hope he and I can be at least friends and I'd hope he'd want some involvement...

Tell him if you want or bring him here so we can do it together. I have no brain for strategy right now.

Mercy you know I would have come to help.

Let me talk to him and get him over the initial surprise, then we can come over okay? He's been real good with Gracie so I know he'll be good with her.

I suck at asking for help. Besides Mick has kept me fed and from what I've read even moms with partners spend the first couple of months exhausted. Once Hope starts sleeping through the night it will be easier.

That sounds good. Thank you. And I know he'll be good with her. I just... I felt guilty enough about dragging my close friend, Steve, into this mess. Dragging a stranger in makes me feel even worse. So... thanks.
