Family

I think we should have another child - SH

What do you mean by that? - JW

You know I don't like to repeat myself, John - SH

I know but we physically can't have a child by ourselves and we already have Rosie - JW

I know but it would be nice for Rosie to have a sibling and it would also be nice to have a little baby around again - SH

I thought you hated Rosie as a baby - JW

I never hated Rosie as a baby - SH

Really? Not all those late nights and her throwing up all over your favourite shirt - JW

Maybe that wasn't the must fun thing but remember all the bed time stories, her first word and the first time we made her laugh - SH

And you don't want a dog or something like that? - JW

John, if you're so against it then we don't have to have another child - SH

I'm not against it. It's just that looking after another child, especially a baby, is a lot of responsibility. We just have to be 100% sure we both want this - JW

Do you want this? - SH

I mean, it would be nice to look after a baby again but I don't want the baby to get hurt. You know, as your job has become more dangerous than when Rosie was a baby - JW

My job was dangerous even before Rosie came along and we've always kept our family safe - SH

I know and I'm sure you'd do whatever it takes to protect us but we're not exactly getting any younger - JW

I know that, my love. That's how aging works - SH

I mean, what if we can't protect them? I just can't help but worry about these things - JW

Well, that's understandable. Humans natural reaction is to worry, especially about the possibility of anything harming their young ones - SH

Anyway, my brother is literally the British Government. I'm sure we can keep them safe - SH

Do you really think we could keep them safe? - JW

Of course we could - SH
