How Bothersome

Richard was curious so he looked it up when they were finished snorkeling. He frowned when he read that the mother's emotions DID affect the child. 

He needed to be more attentive, didn't he? How bothersome. 

At least Laney seemed happy on this trip. She was having a good time even if she did have to go around by herself for the most part. When they got back, she wouldn't have to deal with her terrible old supervisor either so that should keep her stress low. 

Richard would make sure that nothing she was given to work on was too strenuous and that nobody gave her a hard time. What else could stress her out? Her sister? He had no control over her health but had already promised to take care of any potential medical bills. That was all he could do on that front. 

Keeping her stress low so the baby wouldn't be negatively affected was important. It took a lot to stress her out anyway as far as he had seen.
