The rocking actually seemed to calm the panicking Agatha down. "That's a good baby," the woman cooed.
She raised Agatha enough to slip the onesie over her. Athena did fight the woman on that..It was better, if only slightly, than the sight of a naked grown woman in a diaper.
"Athena..." Agatha said. "I feel very gurgle...Goo-ga me, doedo..." Her speech dissolved into a series of indecipherable utterances. She seemed to still be trying to communicate with Athena, but Athena had no idea what she was trying to say.
"I want to thank you for finding her when you did," the woman told her, gently easing Agatha into the stroller, which somehow seemed to fit her.
"I...umm...she's a beautiful baby..." Athena said. "Maybe...if you ever need a babysitter..."
The woman looked her over. "You...aren't what I normally would expect in a babysitter, to be honest, but Agatha seems to respond to you...tell you what, I'll take your number," she said.
