Mrs. Osborn sends her thanks in advance, and asks that all visitation requests be forwarded to her private PINpoint number.

Amber's never been more thankful for her powers than now, able to hear so perfectly the mind of the tiny child growing inside her. Hearing little Sophia, still with four months to go before she comes into the world, think her little baby-thoughts and dream her little baby-dreams. Getting to meet her baby girl so long before any other mother is so ( Read more... )

Amber is home, probably waiting for Norman -- so that she can tell him how the day went, and the thing with Eiko.
