Reece had finished at his nursery, and he drove over to Marjorie's to pick her up. When he got there, he found her in the baby room holding an infant.

"You are so cute! Yes you are." Marjorie said, tickling the baby in her arms.
"Hey you." Reece said, walking up to her.
"Hello you! I didn't expect you here yet." Marjorie said, putting the baby on the mats on the floor so it could play.
"Well, thought I would surprise you. But I see you've got company." Reece said, watching the baby play on the floor.
"Sorry about that. Her mom is running late. I told Charlotte that she could go home, so it's just been me and baby Bella hanging out." Marjorie said, looking at Reece.
"It's okay. If you want, I can go finish cleaning up while you play with Bella." Reece said, kissing Marjorie's forehead.
"That would be lovely, my love." Marjorie said, picking baby Bella up and rocking her.

Reece walked out of the baby room, but he paused for a second and watched Marjorie through the window. Marjorie was standing with Bella in her arms, tickling her, swaying back and forth with her, and talking to her. Reece was in awe of how good she is with kids. He finished cleaning up, and grabbed Marjorie's stuff out of her office before locking up and meeting Marjorie back in the baby room.

"You know gorgeous, for a headstrong manager, you sure are amazing with kids." Reece said, standing next to her.
"Well," Marjorie started. "You know I did used to work in the rooms before I was a manager." She added, laughing.
"I was never great with babies. Toddlers, yes. I can match their energy pretty easily. Babies on the other hand, kind of iffy." Reece said, watching the baby in Marjorie's arms.
Baby Bella grabbed Marjorie's necklace and started fidgeting with it, babbling at her.
"Interesting Bella, that's a very hard take." Marjorie replied to Bella, giggling at how talkative Bella got.
"Gorgeous, would you ever want kids?" Reece asked, watching Bella grab a piece of Marjorie's hair.
"I mean I would love to. My mother was never truly a mother, and part of me is worried I will end up like her. Babies have always liked me. I have that effect. That little sliver of hope makes me think I could do it. What about you my love?" Marjorie replied, using her free hand to grab Reeces.
"I don't know. I have the same feeling that I'll end up like my father." Reece said, looking down at the floor.
"Here." Marjorie says, handing Bella over to Reece. Reece took Bella in his arms, and cradled her.
"See? You're a natural my darling." Marjorie said,  a smile appearing on her face.
Reece cradled the baby, talking to her and playing her. Bella then fell asleep in his arms.
"Hey Marjorie I am so sorry I am late. I had a work emergency and they would not let me go." Bellas mom comes running in the door.
"Don't worry about it my love, it's okay." Marjorie says, taking the sleeping Bella from Reece and giving her to her mom.
"Thank you again, Marjorie. And Reece. I owe you both wine. Bye!" Bella's mom said, walking out the door holding her sleeping infant.
"Bye my love!" Marjorie replied.
Reece pulled Marjorie in closer, rubbing her back.
"You ready?" Reece asked.
"Yes, my love. I'm exhausted." Marjorie said, pulling him close.
