Dot looks at herself in the mirror in only her underwear and bra. She turns to the side, seeing the small bump that has started to for. She sighs loudly, wondering what to do about her clothing situation, most of her outfits involve a belt around her waist, to keep a modest look, but she can no longer wear that if she wants to hide the bump.

The young woman jumps when she hears the bedroom door open, and quickly covers herself with her robe. She looks up to see Phryne in only a towel and her hair dripping from her bath.

"You know," She says, looking at the woman. "You don't have to hide yourself from me. I've seen you naked plenty of times."

"I-I know, Miss."

Phryne cringes at the name, she wishes Dot wouldn't call her that, but she knows she can't change the girl's thoughts of respecting her boss, although she never saw Dot as her employ.

She walks close to Dot, and cups her chin softly, making her look up, meeting her blue hues. "Please don't be embarrassed or shy with me, Dot. We share a bed and each other… and frankly, I feel like if we're having a…" She pauses to look down at the woman's stomach. "A child, you have nothing to be afraid of with me."

"I know," the brunette sighs. "I was just taught do be modest, and never be naked in front of someone unless it was… you know during…" She gulps at the thought of saying sex.

"Yes, I understand, but under our circumstances, you shouldn't be afraid with me."

"I– okay." She says softly, nearly letting out an I love you, but knows she can't until she knows it's the right time.

"Now get dress, we have places to go."

"Where to?"

"Well, first I want to take you for brunch, then we're to meet with Jack and Hugh for some new case. Oh, and tonight Jane is coming home from her trip."

"Jane's coming home?" Dot asks with excitement, she has missed the girl greatly.

"Yes, I think we should talk to her."

"About?"

Phryne turns, quirking a brow towards her lover. "About our situation, so she knows what's to come."

"I-I… are you sure she needs to know? Does she have to? I mean, we-we have time to think about things, h-how to explain without uh, you know, telling about… you."

"I don't mind telling her."

"You don't?"

"No," the woman shrugs as she slips on her pants and buttons up her shirt. "I talked to Mr. Butler. He knows what's going on, I wanted him to know in case something happens when I'm not here, and I want him to keep an eye on you."

Dot is taken aback by the woman's words. She would have liked to know when this happened, and possibly been there for the conversation with Mr. B. But, part of her finds it sweet that Phryne would go to this to make sure Dot is okay at all times.

"You're not upset are you?"

"No," the woman shakes her head softly, then gives a small smile. "I would have just liked to know about this before you told him. It is partially my… baby."

It is still hard for the both of them to wrap their brains around the whole ordeal of a child. Dot was starting to feel more comfort and happiness about it while Phryne is still teetering on the edge of wondering if she's okay with it or not.

After a long day, the two women head home just in time to arrive before Jane. Dot heads upstairs to change, and wash up for dinner. When she gets back downstairs, she sees Jane hugging Phryne.

"Dot!" She exclaims before hugging the woman.

"How are you?" Dot asks as they pull away.

"I'm magnifique!"

The two women smile, and trap the girl in a hug between them. Jane lets out a squeal of laughter

"We're so glad you're back." Phryne says as they release her.

"Dinner is ready," Mr. Butler says as he enters the hallway.

The small family heads into the dining room, and sits at their places. "So, what's going on around here?" Jane asks.

Dot looks up at Phryne as if to tell her to talk. Phryne nods softly. "Well, we have somethings we need to talk to you about."

"Okay?" Jane asks as she starts eating dinner.

"How do you feel about Dot and I dating?"

Jane looks up from her plate with wide eyes, and Dot feels her stomach drop. "Really?" She asks in an excited tone. Dot lets out a sigh in relief over the tone of the girl's voice.

"Yes," Phryne smiles. "Are you okay with it?"

"Of course I am! I thought you two were together when I first came here, if I'm honest with you."

"You did?" Dot asks.

"Yes… I'm sure everyone else thinks that too."

Dot and Phryne look at one another for a moment, but shrug it off.

"There are a couple other things."

"Okay?"

"How do you feel about having a sister or brother?"

The girl looks up at them with a wide smile. "Really?! I would love that. Are you going to adopt again?"

"No."

Jane looks from Phryne to Dot with a questionable gaze. "How then?"

"Do you know what transgender is?"

"I don't think so."

"Well, it's when someone is born with the gender they aren't comfortable with." Phryne begins. "I was born a boy, and as you can tell I'm a female now. I was never okay with being a boy, and when I was younger my parents were okay with this. They let me grow out my hair, and dress however I wanted. When I got older, Mac figured out somethings for me, and I start taking medication, which helped me grow breast, and soften my voice."

Dot sits in shock; she never knew any of this, although, she never asked either.

"So… you're the… I don't know what to call it." Jane says softly, trying to understand.

"I'm also the mother, but I contributed to this as much as Dot did. Does it make sense?"

"I think so."

"Are you okay with all this?" Dot finally chimes in.

"Yes," Jane smiles at the two.
