  2. Summary

    Chummy resigns from Astor Lodge in the spring of 1961, while pregnant with her second child. The baby is another boy, whom the Noakes name David. Davey's birth is even more complicated than Freddie's, and leaves Chummy unable to bear more children.

    Now a family of four, the Noakes move into a semidetached home in Drakefield Estate- the same neighborhood the Turners will move into the following year. Apart from "pitching in" with the Nonnatuns who stay behind from the South Africa trip, Chummy does not return to Nonnatus House. She remains friends with her former colleagues- especially Trixie- and finds new adventures in motherhood, adoption, and in advocating for "thalidomide babies" and their families.

    This timeline is canon compliant on most major events, apart from some tweaks to the Turners' home life from having the Noakes for neighbors. (FRIENDSHIP FLUFF!)

    Summary

    "What're you doing here?"

    Rocky trills a high chirp and shuffles his carapace from side to side. He doesn't answer at first, instead opting to scuttle his way deeper into my bedroom. He rounds the bed to where I'm sitting and carefully places the container down onto the side table, before finally turning his 'main face' towards me.

    "Is meal time for Grace. Rocky here with meal."

    Or

    The nutrient team likes to experiment with new food for Grace's enrichment. And who is he to turn down a possibly tasty snack?

    Summary

    Dr Grace lets out an explosive burst of breath, setting down his cup. “I mean! She can’t be serious. There’s no way I could- I’m not- There’s just no way! It’s a joke.”

    Carl hums neutrally. “Boss doesn’t joke.”

    Summary

    He's such a messy, disgusting, soft thing. Of course he needs to be taken care of.

    Grace is not dying anymore. But it isn't enough. He's not sure when, or if, it will be. He has to keep trying.

    He gets so worked up he cannot sleep.

    So, he goes to Grace. To his Grace. His new suit allowing them to touch, dextrous gloves he can run through Grace's soft hair. So soft. All of him like that, and, recently as he's learned, he can get softer.

    (from chapter 2)
