As William was at his desk, going over a new device, he heard a toy falling and looked up, "Julia, quick!" He shouted as he approached Susannah

"What, William is she ok?" She says out of breath, running down the hallway

"Yes, look…"

Julia gasps as she leans down to her daughter, "she's sitting up on her own."

"Yes, she is" William says as he makes funny faces at Susannah, who smiles back, "is she still a bit young to be sitting up though?"

Julia sits beside, her, "well the books say, the average age is 10 months, and she is 9 months. But who cares what the books say."

They all sit on the floor as a family and played when, the phone rang.

"I'll get it" William says as he gets up off the floor and answers the phone, "hello, detective Murdoch. Yes, Henry, I'll be right there"

"A murder?" Julia asks

He nods, "yes, a hobo."

"Goodness, be safe. Be home for dinner."

"I will."

She leans down to Susannah, "say, goodbye to daddy" as she grabs her arm, and waves, which makes her smile.

He waves, back, "bye, sweetheart"
