When Ali saw Marc coming up the hallway of the ER she didn’t even bother to continue on her path to the water cooler. She just sighed, pushing her hair out of her face, and went over to him. “James…” she said tiredly. “She’s not the spawn of Satan, you know. I asked for your help just this once and you couldn’t even give me that?” She shook her head tiredly, already reaching for the baby capsule.

“I don’t know anything about kids, Ali! I don’t know how to look after her. I just… I’m sorry. I did try.” But Marc kept a hold of the baby capsule for the moment. He looked down into it, shaking his own head as he bit on his lip.

“She’s your fucking niece, James. Either you want to be part of her life or you don’t. If you don’t, then fuck off and don’t bother coming back,” Ali told him bluntly but didn’t fight him for the capsule. “If you do, it’s all or nothing.”

Marc moved off to the side of the corridor so they were out of the immediate rush of passing people. “I do,” he insisted. “I just don’t know how to and I know this is a bad time for you and you need help, but how am I supposed to help if I don’t know how? This is the third time I’ve seen her!”

( Ali frowned, pursing her lips. “And whose fault is that?” )
