"Holy parental instincts, Calvin; that's excellent" said Robin.
"Sure is" said Sam.
"So, uh, Jill... if I express interest in your baby, will you promise not to make me touch it?" said Charles Wallace.
Jill laughed a little. "Of course."
"Hey! How's life with your baby?" said Charles Wallace straight-up.
"Really? You don't ever wanna touch their baby?" said Meg.
"To this day, I never touched Andy" said Charles Wallace.
Andy gave a slight nod.
"It's been wonderful, Charles; thanks for asking" said Jill.
"Well, not so wonderful. All those days when I had to rehearse with the lads. Jill was all alone with the baby" said Paul.
"Oh yes. Those weren't the best" said Jill.
"Why? What happened?" said Calvin.

One fine day, Jill was staying home with baby Stella, who just wouldn't stop crying.
She'd been crying for a LONG time.
"Oh, please, baby, don't cry. I don't know what else to do" Jill pleaded.
It took a while, but the baby finally calmed down and Jill could take a break.
"Oh, what have we done?" she sighed.
Then she received a knock on the door and answered it to find the Wiggles standing at the entrance.
"Hi, Jill!" they said in unison.
"Oh, hi, Wiggles" said Jill quietly.
"Crikey, lovely, you sound tired" said Anthony.
"I am. Newborns, y'know" said Jill.
"That's why we're here to help. We're guessing Paul's not here" said Greg.
"No; he's working today. Come in, you lot" said Jill.
Just as the Wiggles came in, baby Stella started crying again.
"Oh dear! It took me two hours to shut her up" said Jill.
"Here, relax. I'll take care of her" said Murray.
He headed towards the baby's room.
"Y'know, when I was younger and my sister Kristine cried like that, the servants would take her far away so we couldn't hear it" said Jeff.
Jill looked at him funny.
"Not always; sometimes we leave" said Jeff.
