She used to move so much.

[ Claire looks briefly up at Julia, then back down at the infant in her arms. ]

Jamie loved feeling, loved talking to her. He wanted to be a father so badly and he was robbed of it. My body failed him, failed us both. But he could hold her now.

[ Maybe. If he ever makes it to her. She doesn't seem surprised that he isn't here. ]

I don't know if that's such a good idea.

[ Everyone deals with grief in their own way, but rocking her dead child doesn't seem to be offering much closure to Claire. Julia isn't sure it's not just making things worse. ]

You can't blame yourself for this, Claire. It was out of your control. You and I both know sometimes you can't save the people you love no matter what you do.

[ This isn't a state Claire would ever want Julia to see her in. She's upset, fevered, the event taking a very solid hold on her that she'll hate when it's over. ]

I wanted her. So badly, Julia. And Jamie did, too. We both wanted her so much. He used to speak to her. Wouldn't sleep anywhere but with his head near my belly.

[ Julia nods. In her heart, she doesn't want to encourage it, but there is nothing she can do except try to reach Claire, somehow. ]

She was loved. She'll always be loved. [ Julia reaches out, gently putting her hand on Claire's arm. ] But it's time to let her go.
