"I'm glad there is literally anything about my religious education which is correct."

"I'm sorry. I really am."

"I get to be the first disciple of the Second Coming of Christ, it's not all bad."

"That's true. Man, I'm not having any luck with figuring out how to filter for good disciples from China, I'm probably going to have to disguise myself and wander around until I find someone good."

"You could try whatever you did to choose me?"

"Well, I met you."

"You caused an interdimensional bar to appear outside my front door?"

"No. That was a coincidence."

"I realize God can't see the future, but surely He governs the behavior of interdimensional bars."

"Well, if that's the case, it wasn't the me part of God."

"I guess if you could go to China the other part of God could try to arrange for you to run into a good disciple."

"Yeah. We'll see, I still have meaningful research to do."

Rose spends the rest of the day reading, taking care of Alexander, and answering any questions Christina might have.

At night, she takes her accustomed spot on the couch.

...Christina files that away for later, but decides not to ask right away.

Rose immediately falls asleep! Almost as if she is chronically sleep deprived.

That makes sense. 

She gazes admiringly at Alexander. Babies are so good. 

Alexander sleeps for a while! Then he becomes concerned about the existence of gravity and wishes to make his complaints known through a long bout of red-faced screaming.

Yep, that is a very baby thing to do. Christina picks up the baby and bounces him gently, making faces. 

Alexander does NOT like this new person! He liked his old person! He screams.

"Would you shut that fucking baby up?" comes a shout from the bedroom.

...Christina walks over to the bedroom. 

"Do you talk to your wife like that?" she asks, in a cool, disapproving tone. 

He does not recognize Christina from the television!

"Who the fuck are you and why are you in my house?"

She flips the light switch on with one hand, propping the baby against her hip with the other. 

He recognizes Christina from the television!

"Um. I'm sorry, ma'am-- I didn't know you were here-- what do you need? I can wake Rose--"

"The reason I'm here at this hour is so as to not wake Rose, I offered to mind the baby tonight so she could get some sleep. Do you usually scream at her like that?"

"Uh-- that's very nice of you, ma'am, but Rose doesn't need help with the baby, she's just slothful. I'm sorry she lied to you like that."
