Of all the items Ilona required, a stable and loving home was the one she needed above all. It was her singlemost largest regret in her failure to let Ilona go. Keeping her had been a selfish and almost cruel decision, but Jo couldn't imagine in that moment never seeing the baby again. Nor could she imagine living her life without Zach ever holding her.

"No, we're alright for now." She sighed. They needed a house and Ilona could certainly use some spare nappies, but Jo wasn't sure they had reached the point yet where she could ask for anything. "She will need to be fed soon though," Jo then continued with a hint of a blush. Nursing was an odd sensation and one that she didn't truly enjoy at that. It was, however, free which triumphed over any feelings she had on the matter.
