"And Amelia." he introduced proudly.
 
Julia turned so that Philip could see Amelia, and
met his gaze with a proud smile of her own.  That and
to smile in answer to him recognizing her.
 
She then looked at the others, giving them a chance
to say something to the Priest.

Philip reached out hesitantly but then gently touching
the baby's soft head before smiling a little
sheepishly "She's beautiful."

"We tried." Julia responded with dry humor and looking
at Derek.  It didn't look like Philip was hurt badly,
physically.  Her gaze asked if she was assuming right.

Philip lowered his hand and looked at the others and
it was obvious he was trying to place names to faces.

"Alex," he said after a moment, because he had seen
her and the man next to her on the picture in his room
and the names had been written on the back "And Nick,
unless ye both are int'cross gender names."

"I, uh," he admitted "Yer name is on the picture in
the room."

And although he couldn't place them exactly, he did
have the impression he knew the two on more than a
generally casual level.  Friends in fact.
