Alexis: You're really going to need to knock that off. I wouldn't want them even breathing in the smell from your clothes from those.

She makes a face.

Alexis: I know asking you to stop for you is not going to do a damn bit of good....

Colin:"Hey my clothes don't smell that bad from them...Tell you what, I won't smoke around them until they are legal age to buy their own packs. I'll even keep separate clean clothes to wear."

Alexis looks relieved.

Alexis: Thank you.

Jabberwocky Sun Sep 04, 2011 7:53 am

Colin smirks
Colin:"The heck you think I was going to say lil sister? "Hell no"?"

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 7:56 am

Alexis smirks right back.

Alexis: I thought you'd sulk.

Jabberwocky Sun Sep 04, 2011 7:59 am

Colin:"Well...the visits might be short to start, put it that way."

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 8:01 am

Alexis: I understand. I probably won't be much to visit at first anyway. I'll always be sleeping.

Jabberwocky Sun Sep 04, 2011 8:04 am

Colin:"I hope you can hack having me and Amber around a fair bit. I'm sure she'll be stoked to find out shes going to be an aunt...Does...mom and dad both know?"

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 8:07 am

Alexis: I don't know if Alex called mom, but dad knows. He called me... did he talk to you yet? He's got news too.

Jabberwocky Sun Sep 04, 2011 8:08 am

Colin:"...News?"

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 8:10 am

Alexis: Oh, so he didn't... you might want to call him then.

Cruel Britannia Sun Sep 04, 2011 5:56 pm

Alex: When it rains it pours.

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:01 pm

Alexis looks over at Alex.

Alexis: Oh it's good news, which is nice. Dad could use some good news.

Cruel Britannia Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:06 pm

Alex: Hmmmmn..... not sure Colin could take another shock today...... oh but that reminds me.... I haven't called your mother yet.....

Alex pulls out his phone and dials Moira.

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:11 pm

Moira: 'Allo? Ben, not fair, stop it! Sorry....

Cruel Britannia Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:14 pm

Alex: Um.... Hi Moira...... you may want to ask Ben to put you down for a moment...... you um..... might want to take a seat for this.

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:15 pm

Moira: Alex? Why, wot's wrong now?

Cruel Britannia Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:16 pm

Alex: No, no it's OK Moira it's nothing bad.... it's just..... well.....

......you're going to be a grandmother.

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:20 pm

Moira: Well that was bloody quick. I ain't exactly surprised, wot with the way you two were goin' at it. But why are you the one callin' me an' not my daughter?

Cruel Britannia Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:22 pm

Alex: Well..... she is a little tired.... you know..... what with the mono...... and just finding out she's having triplets.

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:24 pm

Moira: WOT?!

Cruel Britannia Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:25 pm

Alex: Oh..... did I forget to mention that part? Yeah..... we're having triplets.

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:29 pm

Moira: Yeah, you did. I dunno if I should say congratulations or ask if you're gonna need 'elp.

She chuckles.

Moira: So both.

Cruel Britannia Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:33 pm

Alex chuckles

Alex: Heh..... thanks..... but right now I'm just focusing on getting Lexi through this as comfortably as possible..... I'll worry about actually being a da when the time comes.

Anyway..... I'm sure Lexi will want to speak to you herself later..... I'll get her to give you a call.

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:35 pm

Moira: Alroit, thank you. 'Ey Ben, you ain't gonna believe this....

The line disconnects.
