Babs waits for Alfred after confirming her father's location, grateful that the gentleman is a man of his word and that he's sensitive enough to know how nervous she is, no matter how much she tries to control it.
They've both been in this hospital enough times to be able to navigate it freely, and although instinct and memory tell her that she's at the correct room, she has to check the name on the door to be sure that the small, weak, old man lying in the bed beyond is her large, powerful father.
She wheels past the foot of the bed so that she can grab his chart on the way around to the other side.
For now, she leaves it untouched, tucked between her thigh and the side of her chair, and carefully takes her father's hand between her own, calling softly, "Daddy?"
