Alex looks at the phone.

Alex: Well.... she took that well.....

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:39 pm

Alexis looks half nervous, half amused.

Alexis: I think most of the hospital heard that yell.

Cruel Britannia Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:42 pm

Alex: Heh..... that was just I knee jerk reaction to the word triplets.... can't say I blame her..... I think I nearly passed out when mum told me......

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:48 pm

Alexis chuckles.

Alexis: True... if anyone didn't have a strong reaction to that, I'd wonder why.

After leaving the room, Colin returns having just finished a phone call with his and Alexis' dad

Colin:"...Was I the last to know dad was getting married?"

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 8:47 pm

Alexis: I don't think so. I got the idea he just proposed. Other than me, I don't know who else he told.

The nurse starts giving Alexis her last doses of medicine in shot form...

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 9:43 pm

Alexis winces.

Alexis: Ow. How many times am I going to have to do this?

Cryonix Sun Sep 04, 2011 9:53 pm

Nurse: Only four more times. The medicine takes about twenty minutes to course...so...I'll be back.

Colin looks down at his feet for a moment

Colin:"Well I...I'm happy he's happy with someone."

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 10:44 pm

Alexis: But you're not happy it's not mom....

Jabberwocky Sun Sep 04, 2011 11:02 pm

Colin:"I can't help my feelings Alexis. Just have to accept it, one way or another..."

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 11:15 pm

Alexis: I wasn't knocking you for your feelings. I would love to have mom and dad get back together too, but it's not going to happen.

Jabberwocky Sun Sep 04, 2011 11:34 pm

Colin:"I know...I guess I've known for a long time..."

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 11:40 pm

Alexis: For what it's worth I think Ben and Naomi will be ok step-parents.

Jabberwocky Sun Sep 04, 2011 11:52 pm

Colin:"In my case Naomi for sure. As for Ben...well I pretty much botched that relationship up for good..."

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 11:53 pm

Alexis: What do you mean?

Jabberwocky Sun Sep 04, 2011 11:58 pm

Colin:"When I blew up at that sushi dinner...I told him off. "

Pockets Sun Sep 04, 2011 11:59 pm

Alexis stares at Colin.

Alexis: What did you say to him?

Jabberwocky Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:19 am

Colin:"He told me that we 'needed to talk'...Dad was right there and yet Ben was trying to act like the wise father figure...I know he meant well but..."

Pockets Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:23 am

Alexis: And what was dad doing?

Jabberwocky Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:32 am

Colin closes his eyes, looking regretful
Colin:"I had just told him that maybe I should have never defended him, because me, Naomi, and you were the only people who would ever give a damn enough to realize he was a good man. That defending him just seemed to cost me..."

Pockets Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:38 am

Alexis sighs.

Alexis: Yeah, sounds like that backfired just a little.

Jabberwocky Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:47 am

Colin:"I guess dads been through enough that he was understanding...I mean he was the only person in that room to come out to the parking lot and talk to me..."

Pockets Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:50 am

Alexis looks confused.

Alexis: I thought Amanda did too... you mentioned going back inside after.... talking to her.
