Febby begrudgingly gave Mr. Crouch a point for that. AT least things had settled for Melody then. Febs always wondered how babies changed other relationships. It had been easy, natural for her and Edric, a near painless (ha!) transition. Adding the girls had only made them better, but she knew it could absolutely ruin some.

"Maybe someday," Febs echoed with a smile toward her friend, one hand gently patting the baby's bum without realizing it. It had been Poppy's favorite method of soothing and so it seemed like second nature. Maybe she was just in the mode constantly, it seemed hard to turn it off these days. "I'm happy for your, Mel," she really was. As long as Melody seemed to be alright, that was all that mattered really.
