[His voice cuts through her escalating stream of panic as all she can think is that she can’t do this, that she’d stand a better chance at facing down all nine archdevils than she would at handling this because she doesn’t know how. That one word is enough to halt her runaway mind though and before it can start up again he’s right in front of her, holding her gaze in his and filling her head with words of his own.
Of everything he says, it’s one repeated word that lodges in her chest and starts to pull her back from the edge; We. Not you, not some pep talk to tell her that she can handle this but we, Rose pulling in a slow, steady breath and releasing some of the tension in her body as she exhales. (Will Save 16).

[It's still weak on her part but she’s trying and while she knows it’s still unlikely, she silently promises herself right now that if she is? She won’t be like Janine. She might not know the first thing about being a parent but she’ll be there and that’s a hell of a lot more than she had growing up.]
We can handle it. [A little bob of her head and it almost sounds like she’s starting to believe that.] Guess we should, find out what it is we’re handling then, huh.
