Althea stares at the infant on the carpet and then back up at her friend Ester. "Is that it...? Is that all she does...?"
Ester frowns. "She's a baby. She can't do much."
Kieran looks at Althea. "She's a pretty easy baby to take care of. She'll sleep most of the time. Thank you for offering to take care of her." he adds and then glances at the clock. "We'll be back in the evening. You just have to feed her every three to four hours and change her every two hours, unless she's asleep and then you can push it till three hours."
Althea rolls her eyes. "I can take care of children Kieran. I've done it before."
It's not really until Althea waits for Jaquelyn falls asleep before frowning when Willa's name flashes across her screen. "Where are you..?"
"Not in the Mercedes pit." Althea says softly.
"Yeah I gathered that, so, you have a pet, um... what do you do with it..?"
Althea frowns. "You have a pet..?"
"Now I do. Charles got a fucking dog." Willa sounds stressed and exasperated at the same time. "It's a fucking weenie dog."
Althea snorts. "A weenie dog? Is it cute...?"
"Don't call it an it. Only I can call my dog an it." Willa pauses. "He named it Leo, it's so close to the baby's name and it won't stop peeing everywhere."
Althea frowns. "The baby or the dog...?"
"Be so fucking serious right now." Willa says and then lets out a soft sigh. "Fuck Leo, seriously...?" Willa let out a soft groan. "So like what do you do...?"
"Willa, I have cats. I'm about to get another one, honestly." another pause. "Can I see your dog next time I go back...?"
"Sure."

It's not until after the race that Althea gets to go home — she glanced at her brother and steps into her bedroom, noticing a gift box on her bed. "Santiago!" she calls out as she quietly treads into the living room, gift in hand, "wake up!" she moves over to shake him gently.
