no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 06:47 am (UTC)Do you think we suck? Pat called me this morning, gave me a pep talk. Well, technically gave both of us one via me.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 06:50 am (UTC)No, why? What did Pat say?
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 07:13 am (UTC)No, I wasn't asking for anything he said. He was supportive, making sure I was okay. I asked him if Cameron and Harri were, and he just said no. He wouldn't elaborate. I think he was just letting us know he technically wasn't taking sides.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 07:23 am (UTC)Yeah, I spoke to Pat before. He was... I really love him. Cameron's not going to be okay for a long time.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 07:30 am (UTC)Well, that's what happens when you get fucked over. I wish it could've gone down without hurting anyone, but I don't know. I feel guilty, but I felt guilty when we were still with them too. Pat didn't have to give us the time of day, especially when he's in hospital. Plus, Aiden hates me.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 07:33 am (UTC)So do I. I thought it was just me feeling guilty. I hate that I've hurt Cameron. I hate I took you away from your child's mother. Aiden hated you before, James.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 07:40 am (UTC)Yeah, but we were getting on the same page. He was at least tolerating me towards the end there. He has every right to hate me. I'm still scared Harri won't want me to have anything to do with the kid. I mean, look what happened with Mark and Ali. I just want things to be happy.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 08:15 am (UTC)What makes you happy? What do you need to be happy?
Things aren't going to be happy for a little while, not with what we did. And not with Ali losing her baby. At least her and Andy are working on healing together.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 08:59 am (UTC)I just wish they could be. Fuck, I thought we had fucked it for good with her this time, Iz.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 09:04 am (UTC)I know, me too. She'd have every reason to tell us to piss off.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 09:12 am (UTC)I know it wasn't fair, but she was crying and my head felt like it was going to explode. She just seems to have this sixth sense when things aren't right. I just needed an hour before I died from the headache. I needed his help. You were at work, I didn't know what else to do.
Have you spoken to her much lately?
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 09:19 am (UTC)How are you going to go if your son gets upset? I would have come, James.
Not as much as I want. I'll call her tonight. She's returning to work.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 09:28 am (UTC)I don't know. Probably still go to Mark. I go to Mark if my big toe hurts. It was reactionary. I know I fucked up, and he didn't have to take her. But he did, and I think it really hurt him. You were out on an interrogation.
Is she? I need to talk to her. I know she's planning some freakishly large wedding cake, and I know she went to talk to Mark.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 09:40 am (UTC)Probably because you gave him time with a daughter he's never going to have. Oh. Well, shit.
Yeah, couple days a week. Just light duty. I think it'll be all chocolate, too. Did he say anything after?
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 09:51 am (UTC)I know, and I'm an arsehole. I guess I just wish it could be any other way. She's such a great little kid. She only cries when something is really upsetting her. She doesn't even get pissed off when you fuck up and put a mitten on her foot instead of a bootie.
How weird is it going to be to see her down in the labs again? I got so used to just seeing her as a Mummy. Still can't believe she's getting hitched. I thought you would beat her to that. Not a whole lot. He signed over his parental rights to Jamie so Andrew can adopt her. I think he and Ali called a truce.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 10:05 am (UTC)It can't be any other way. Andrew will be Jamie's dad, not Mark. He's giving up everything for her. She's a beautiful girl, and she'll be well looked after.
It's going to be extremely weird, but if it makes her happy, it's the right thing. Now she's a working Mum. Well, technically I did. You were there. A truce is a start.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 10:09 am (UTC)I know, just still hurts. I guess it's just the blood thing. I think he wants kids but won't admit it because it will hurt too much.
I mean the proper white wedding thing. I thought Ali would die a bachelorette. I still catch myself watching Andrew and wondering how he can match her so well being nothing like her.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 10:30 am (UTC)He's probably wondering if he'd ever find someone again, too.
No, she's meant to do it first. I'll be the last one. Because he loves her, and sometimes opposites really do attract.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 10:48 am (UTC)He is, and dealing with the fact Ali really has moved on. He's been deluded about that for years. I'm only guessing that he's seeing someone, but I found condoms in the bathroom.
Well, she is now. You just run away from white weddings. Do you run if you're Maid of Honour, because I can so imagine Ali chasing you down the aisle and taking you out with her bouquet if you try it on. Maybe they aren't so opposite? Maybe he's just helped Ali find herself again? She only toughened up to the extent she is when she got kidnapped that time.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 11:09 am (UTC)You're men. There's always going to be condoms in the bathroom. It'll be healthy for him to finally make the realisation. It'll hurt, but it'll help.
I'm not going to run, you bastard! I'm sticking this one out. It's not mine, so nothing to be scared of. It'll be nice if she has found herself. She's not as broken as she thinks.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 11:17 am (UTC)There wasn't when I first got here. Told me has hasn't gotten laid since Ali. I think he has realised, that's why he's licking his wounds.
Just checking, because that would have been amusing. She can run surprisingly fast in those Manolos. She was, but I think she's getting better. I catch her looking at me sometimes, like she has things to say to me but she's sitting on them.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 11:28 am (UTC)Interesting. And they're not yours? He's lying? Poor Mark... as much as I'm Ali's best friend, I do feel for him.
I'm sure it would have made your day, but not Ali's. I know, I can't get over what she can do in those things. That's either a good thing, or extremely bad.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 11:37 am (UTC)Nah, Mark uses Kimonos, I used Trojans. Nothing but the best for Marky Poo. Well, he told me before, like when he first got back. He hasn't mention it since. Me too, and you know the odd part? She does too. She never wanted to hurt him.
Do you think she has ever taken anyone out with them? I should probably be lucky she had her gun to my head and not a Jimmy Choo. Fuck, I know. It's that look. The Ali Look. It's unnerving.
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 11:43 am (UTC)You don't have to use either at the moment considering I'm pregnant. Which might mean he is knocking the headboard with someone. Better not be someone with blow-up breasts again. Maybe they can still be friends.
It wouldn't surprise me. They're a perfect weapon. What do you think she wants to say?
no subject
on Tuesday, 22 September 2009 11:48 am (UTC)Jesus. That killed my boner just a little bit, no offense. We might need to work on that. Fuck, I hope not. I don't want to have to sabotage a second shite relationship choice of his. His ex was a fucking bitch. Whoever she is, they're fucking good with the ninja sex. I haven't even found a stray pair of panties lying around anywhere or something. You know, I hope they can. There is too much other discontent in our family, and they don't hate each other.
I don't know. Maybe she just wants to bitch me out. Maybe she wants to offload some things. Maybe she needs a shoulder to cry on. Maybe she just thinks my haircut sucks. She probably would have flat out told me that, though, and laughed.
