You're not a random stranger, Mercy. And yeah, when you're ready to tell him of course I'll be there. [He quirks a grin.] I still gotta tell him I've got a baby girl with another man who's the guardian for a tree.
Well, not to you! I just have visions of going up to him with Hope and saying, "I know we've never met before, but you're the father of my baby!" Sure he wouldn't think I was nuts then.
I suppose knowing you and another guy have a baby who's big sibling is a tree might help. If he doesn't kindly try to have us both committed.
[That pulls a laugh from him as he shakes his head. How weird his life has become since coming to New Dodge.] No kidding. Let's give him a little time to get used to the place, then we can meet him somewhere and you can introduce him to Hope.

And... I'm here for you if you need me. If I can help in any way.

Yeah that isn't our Steve. Not quite.
You sure? Shouldn't that be something you tell him when he meets her?

I'm just some random stranger.
Maybe you could help... facilitate? When the time's right? So he doesn't think I'm just some crazy woman?
But mostly I don't want you to feel like you have to hide anything.

Hey. Are you okay? With him not quite being your Steve? I mean you don't need to answer. Just know I'm here if you need me.
