Tom laughed. "Don't worry, you have no bald patch." Marlee screamed louder and thumped Tom's chest. "Jesus, she sounds like she's being tortured... oops, sorry."

"In fifteen years she won't tell us what's bothering her anymore," Michael said thoughtfully, finding it hard to imagine it.

"In fifteen years... or less, she'll be dating." Tom shivered, rocking her gently.

"Dating," Michael looked at Marlee and joked, "In fifteen years? Isn't that too soon?"

"You really don't want to know what age I started dating." Tom laughed quietly. Marlee screamed again.

"I want her to stay cute and not angry at us," Michael tried to imagine the little girl older.

"Stay not angry at us? I think we'd need to go back in time." Tom gently jigged the baby in his arms. "Ssh..."

"Well... not hate us and call us old then," Michael touched his hair with a smile.

Tom squeaked. "I'll never be old! I'm... a hotter Peter Pan!" He gave Michael a dazzling smile and Marlee screamed louder. It sounded as though she was being tortured. "Jesus..." He groaned, jumping to his feet.

"What's wrong?" Tom whispered, stroking her soft hair. "You can't be hungry..." he stared miserably at the bruises on her arms. "It's them, isn't it?"

Michael looked around for something cool to put on the baby's arms to soothe the pain.

"What do I do?" Tom asked. "I can't remember the last time bruises gave me pain, I just blank them out now." He bit his lip, gently holding Marlee tight.

"But something cool on them to soothe the pain maybe," Michael looked down at Marlee's arms.

"Back to the waterfall then?" He asked, kissing the top of her head.

"Do we have anything to wash her with while we're there?" Michael asked.

"Like what?" Tom asked, grabbing the suitcase again.

"I don't know some kind of cleaning soap or liquid... for skin," He added the last part after thinking about it.

"Uhh... I got my stuff?" Tom shrugged. "Will it be ok for her?"

"I don't know. It should be," he shrugged back.

"Aren't we brilliant parents?" Tom muttered, holding onto the squalling Marlee. "Come on then."
