alt_frankMelania Ambak from Surrey is safe and sound, and on her way to Moddey Dhoo just as soon as she’s finished her nap and Poppy says it's okay.
we got into Waverly, even though it was a bit dodgy. don't think it would have happened, but a large group from St Mungo’s arrived right as we got to the gates so they didn’t look as closely at our paperwork as they would have, and they didn’t ask us for that bloody form.
we found the family, already home from hospital. took them a bit by surprise, but they seemed right eager to hand her over once we’d said our piece and shown them some pictures and letters. seems like everyone here was a bit jumpy, like they were waiting for something bad to happen – the Ambaks mentioned they’d been hurried out of hospital the day after Melania was born to “make room,” and they’d heard stories about the illness in other camps. I think that was why they were so anxious. kept asking me over and over again what sort of medical care we had available, what would happen if she ever got sick, that sort of thing. we told them about Stephen and Poppy, which seemed to help a bit.
lots of tears when we left. then again, there’s always tears at that part. but we’ve got her, she’s safe, and looks healthy. both her folks seemed pretty normal too – Mrs Ambak was still worn out from having the baby, but no cough or fever or anything like that. just to be sure, Poppy, I can keep her out here a little longer, or we can put her in the quarantine room with me when we get back for a day or two. I don’t mind to. she's nice enough company. she's even tinier than Tiny is.
