Moira smiles sadly.

Moira: I waited... for years... believe mey.

Jabberwocky Tue Apr 05, 2011 1:36 am

Colin:"...I know...And, I hate to say it but there was a time where I thought it was my fault."

Pockets Tue Apr 05, 2011 1:37 am

Moira looks astonished.

Moira: Why would you think that?

Jabberwocky Tue Apr 05, 2011 1:44 am

Colin:"The same reasons why most kids think it's their fault I suppose...I imagined that there was this perfect marriage until I came along, then...it was just a matter of time..."

Pockets Tue Apr 05, 2011 1:52 am

Moira smiles.

Moira: A 'ole in your theory roit there. We weren't even married yet when you came along.

She puts a hand on Colin's shoulder, serious again.

Moira: Not a bit of it was your fault, understand? Don't ever think that.

Jabberwocky Tue Apr 05, 2011 2:00 am

Colin sighs and nods
Colin:"I know...But...I guess part of me hoped and wished that what was broken would be fixed. That I'd have that family back, happy and...all that.
So when I heard you were marrying Ben, that part...didnt receive the news that well"

Pockets Tue Apr 05, 2011 2:01 am

Moira: An' wot about your father and Naomi?

Jabberwocky Tue Apr 05, 2011 2:09 am

Colin:"...You got engaged first. You and Ben didn't bother me until that point, for whatever reason...not as much anyways..."
he looks apologetic
Colin:"I'm sorry, I should be happy for you. I am..really."

Pockets Tue Apr 05, 2011 2:15 am

Moira: Cause it means no goin' back, roit?

She smiles slightly.

Moira: I ain't gonna be any less your mom, you know.

Jabberwocky Tue Apr 05, 2011 2:26 am

Colin smiles sadly
Colin:"I know."

Pockets Tue Apr 05, 2011 2:52 am

Moira: Let mey ask you a question... wot, to you, makes a family?

Jabberwocky Tue Apr 05, 2011 3:00 am

Colin seems thrown off by the question
Colin:"What do you mean?"

Pockets Tue Apr 05, 2011 3:22 am

Moira: You think this destroys your family for good, roit? But wouldn't that 'ave been more of a bother with your dad an' Caley... your mom? An' wot does that make the Saints? You call them family too, roit? I jus' want to make sure I 'ave this straight....

Jabberwocky Tue Apr 05, 2011 3:49 am

Colin:"I mean that...traditional family I could go home to. The mother and father and all that...I know I have "family"...But...I guess I always wanted to experience that traditional family life...when I was old enough to appreciate it."

Pockets Tue Apr 05, 2011 3:55 am

Moira: You'll still 'ave that. 'Ell, if things go roit you'll 'ave two. I know it ain't quite the same... but it's wot's there.

Jabberwocky Tue Apr 05, 2011 4:01 am

Colin gives a faint smile
Colin:"I know...Yeah..."
the smile is a bit more noticeable as he hugs his mom

Colin:"Hows dad taking it?"

Pockets Tue Apr 05, 2011 4:05 am

Moira smiles herself as she returns her son's hug.

Moira: Much better than I thought 'e would. I think 'im 'avin' Naomi 'elps.

Jabberwocky Tue Apr 05, 2011 4:09 am

Colin:"How do you feel about her anyway?"

Pockets Tue Apr 05, 2011 4:16 am

Moira smirks.

Moira: She will take some gettin' used to.

Jabberwocky Tue Apr 05, 2011 4:49 am

Colin:"Am I wrong to guess you had some mixed feelings?"

Cruel Britannia Tue Apr 05, 2011 4:56 am

Erin stands, still with her back turned to hide her tears.

Erin: Well you seem almost back to normal Shawn...... I guess.... I guess my services are no longer required so I'll just..... leave you guys alone now....

Pockets Tue Apr 05, 2011 4:21 pm

Moira sighs.

Moira: You ain't the only one wot was 'opin'...

Jabberwocky Tue Apr 05, 2011 4:36 pm

Colin nods, then looks over at her
Colin:"...You're jealous that she got him while he wasn't..."
he sighs
"you know..."

Pockets Tue Apr 05, 2011 4:39 pm

Moira nods.

Moira: Exactly.

Jabberwocky Tue Apr 05, 2011 4:42 pm

Colin:"...Yeah...I can understand that...Don't forget though, it took a damn heart attack and a doctor showing him how badly his body was damaged thanks to the drinking in order for him to turn it around. The man literally had to..hit rock bottom..sadly."
