Will Parkman be able to hear the baby's thoughts while it is still in the womb? I suppose it doesn't "speak" until about 1 and a half... so does he only pick up on the 'spoken word' thoughts?

Empathy not in the Betazoid sense (emotions, etc.) but in a more general, "connecting with others" sense.

Also, in the "Cute. A nurse who's an empath." sense.

Apparently. HRG tried to hide his thoughts by thinking in Japanese. So he probably wouldn't be able to understand an infants thoughts, having no language to communicate with.

I wouldn't doubt it if the spoken word thoughts are simply the only ones he's picking up on at the moment. As he develops his powers and learns to control them better, and to separate what he's feeling from what he's picking up from others, I wouldn't be surprised to see him pick up on images or emotions. (Maybe the Agency is even giving him training now that they've kidnapped him a second time and plan to use him.)

(Oooh. Also, this was my 47th post here. Go me.)
