Ershey laughed softly, nodding. "Yep," she replied. "...Or do you only like her now 'cause she's not grabbing your nose?"

Mush chuckled to himself. "Maybe... Does that make me a bad person?" he asked, his chuckle escalating to a soft laugh - he didn't want to wake the girl.

"No," she smirked, shaking her head. "I didn't think you were that uncomfortable around babies..."

"When am I ever around babies?" he asked, shrugging and scratching the back of his neck. "I didn't have any brothers or sisters, so..."

"Really?" she said, surprised that she didn't know this about him already.

"Yeah," Mush replied softly. "Only child, raised by my grandparents in Philadelphia."

"I didn't know that..." muttered Ershey, looking up at him. "How are your grandparents?" She hoped his answer would be a happy one. She'd hate to bring up a sore subject, especially if it was about his family.

"They're long gone," he replied with a small shrug. If he didn't talk about it in such a casual manner, he wouldn't be able to talk about it at all.

"Mush, I'm so sorry," said Ershey, sincerely, lacing her fingers with his. She didn't know how that must've felt for Mush. She suddenly felt guilty about how she hated that Risk was around. Either way, he was still family.

"Thanks," he replied, his voice barely above a whisper. "But it's okay. I mean...I have the newsies. And I have you."

"You know that I'll always be here for you, right?" said Ershey, gently squeezing his hand.

Mush squeezed back, smiling over at her. "Yeah, of course I know that," he replied, chuckling softly. "So, what do you plan on doing with the kid once she wakes up?"

Ershey shrugged, hoping that Jo would stay asleep for at least an hour. "Look for Risk and switch off," she replied. "We've been taking turns watching over Jo when Macbeth's busy or at work."

Mush quirked an eyebrow as he looked over at Ershey. "...Risk? He's helping take care of a kid?"

"Yeah," replied Ershey calmly. "Macbeth needs all the help she can get... and, well, Risk wants to help her out."
