Jim follows them to the table, trying not to hover (and not entirely succeeding at it). He's so engrossed with the baby that Nurse Chapel's appearance at his elbow seems sudden, out of nowhere. He nearly jumps when she sets a pile of diapers on the corner of the table, saying, "Here you are, Doctor."
He glances at her to see if she realized he was startled, but if she did, professional as she is, she doesn't let on. She gives him a brief, faint smile before turning her attention to the little girl in McCoy's arms. But even then, it's merely a long moment of doting and admiration before she steps away, returning to her duties.
