The sound of someone getting closer makes her slump as opposed to straighten, wanting to look like she's been hanging out right here with Junior for a while and has gotten as comfortable as possible. She can feel Spike to one side of her, and even after all this time, she's only partially gotten used to being able to feel him nearby without seeing him.
At first she's not sure who it is, but then it becomes obvious that the noise is coming from the direction Hero went off in. And then, sure enough, Hero comes along, back from checking things out up ahead.
She glances quickly down at the baby's sleeping face, then looks up at Hero and smiles as she approaches, patting the ground next to her -- on the side opposite Spike -- as if it's a prime seat. "Hey, you. Come sit with us."
