Derek gave the man a very serious stare. 

"William." he said in a similiar tone, though his tone
also conveyed the fact that he had not had any coffee
this morning.

Julia sighed, blushing.  

Why did she feel like a cow at this particular moment?
She wondered half wryly as she headed to the kitchen
and, a moment later, back up toward the Control Room.

"...she's cute.  I think she takes after her mother."
Sloan was saying as she entered, obviously teasing
Derek but looking as if he meant the compliment as
well "Where is Julia anyway? I wouldn't have thought a
new mother would leave a cute thing like that so
soon."

"Right here." Julia said to let them both know she was
there, just in case Derek hadn't heard her enter.  And
she wasn't sure why - either it actually being an
undertone to what Sloan said or her just being
sensitive about what he said, but she had to swallow
her reaction to the part about leaving Amelia - as if
she could, whether a new mom or not.

She set a mug of coffee on the desk beside Derek but
far enough that Amelia would in advertantly knock into
it by some means.  Then she set the bottle down beside it.
