[Shrug.] Practically runs in the family. My parents're like this too.... I dunno, there's that saying... "worryin' doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it only empties today of its strength." So I try not to. Too much.
I've got nervous about a couple'a things, but... [Not that many. SHRUG.]
So if I want to not worry, I should just focus on what's happening right now? That sounds kind of hard, with having a kid... you always have to worry about what's coming next, right?
Yeah, but you also have to focus on what they're doin' right then, don'tcha?
I heard parenting ends up being a whole lotta improvisation. There's no way you can predict everything, so just do your best and don't freak out about things y'can't control. Plus you have Silver, an' me, and Silver's and my an' your family... so you oughtta be able to spread out the responsibility to worry a bit anyway.
[WHOA HE HAS NEVER SEEN THAT ONE BEFORE WHOA OKAY HELLO]
Hilda.... [He reaches up to gently hold her arms just below the shoulders in a comforting gesture.] You're gonna be fine, okay? You'll be a loving hard-ass mom. You're concerned over how you'll do an' that means you'll really look out to be a good parent. I know you'll do great.
You aren't gonna punch a baby, are you? Give yourself more credit'n that. [sfdffgh that is an overreaction]
Look. Since when haven't you risen to the occasion before? This might be kinda different but I haven't seen you fail yet. And c'mon, tons of people raise kids all the time. I don't see how you can't do it too. And you aren't alone, so it isn't like you'll totally be in the dark to begin with. Right?

Do... do you think I'll be a good mom? Or, what if I'm too rough...
[She's really terrified, but she's trying to whisper all this, since she only wants to share it with Hilbert.]
