Everett had turned Dorothy into quite the pampered princess, not that she had many faults to begin with, but now she'd developed a peculiar habit of being picky about where she slept! After just two days and one night at the hospital, seeing Dorothy struggling to rest properly, Everett decided to bring not just the baby but also the entire medical team back to their home. "Are we... making too much of a fuss?" Dorothy couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time as she watched Everett nearly recruit the whole maternity ward staff. "I had the baby just fine! There's really no need for all this medical staff. Aren't we just wasting public resources here?"

"I hired them; they're not here for free," Everett explained gently, caressing her cheek. "The hospital isn't close by, and I couldn't bear the thought of something happening and us not being prepared. Consider it something I'm doing for my own peace of mind." With that said, what more could Dorothy add?

Maybe it was the exhaustion from childbirth, but Dorothy found herself feeling tired all the time now. Even when her friend Karen came over for a chat, Dorothy would nod off mid-conversation.
