Finally Jen and Beatrice meet face-to-face! By the time I had written this chapter, I had already written the Beatrice prequel short story Trainee, in which it is established that Beatrice has a kid. So it followed, then, that when Jen meets Beatrice for the first time, of course she's going to have her kid with her, something Jen would not expect.
Also, if you've read Trainee, can you spot the parallels between the opening of that story and the opening of this chapter?
