"It's usually easier to get enough sleep that way, although if you want a crib you can ask for one."

"I can make it work. And I can like - hand her off to get a little extra when she wakes me up a lot?"

"Yeah! Everyone on this hallway is a mom, if they have a sock on their door it means that you can stop in and hand off the baby so you can sleep. We also don't have to work as much because we have babies."

"Cool. How long's that last?"

"Until they're sleep-trained, basically, it's on the honor system. Although if your kid is three and you're still on mom hours Lev is probably going to talk to you."

"Guess that makes sense. Maybe I'll be married and have another by then though."

"Are you Catholic?"

"Mormon."

"We don't have any Mormons," Alyssa says. "But Pope Peter usually approves interfaith marriages. Although I guess that doesn't help if you're not allowed to marry people outside of your religion."

"We are. It seems like it might be awkward but I don't wanna just never get married and Catholic's not one of the worse other religions there are."

"You can try to meet people," Alyssa says. "I know a really cute guy who wants to be a priest."

"Aren't Catholic priests not allowed to get married? My foster dad complains about it all the time, he thinks it makes them out of touch."

"Oh, the pope can change the rule," Alyssa says. "He's trying to make as many people priests as possible so that if somebody dies the Catholic Church can continue. But they have to get married before they become priests, so lots of guys are trying to get married."

"Huh! Okay. I could marry a wannabe priest."
