12.16. “Just so you know, judging from my little experience, I kind of believe in fate. It just works in really fucked up ways sometimes.”

Marc knew that if he didn't agree to babysit that day, he could well lose both Ali and Jamie forever. Ali would only take so much of his shit before she told him to get fucked and piss off. It was his weekend off, so he agreed, but with Jamie apparently sick with the Chicken Pox, he was on his own. It probably wasn't a good idea to expose Harri to any bugs at this point in the pregnancy, so it was Marc and his baby niece all on their lonesome. It wasn't that he didn't want to be there for her and play the cool uncle. He really did. He just didn't know how. He went from having absolutely no experience with kids to suddenly being an uncle and being told he was going to be a father. It was freaking him out, especially when he still had more experience with an AK-47 than nappies.

( Today, though, it was a whole different kettle of fish. The baby - who looked scarily like him without his disguise - just wanted to be cuddled... )
