Alexis: I'm... I'm alright. Colin's tough, he'll be fine just to spite anyone who says he won't be.

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 13, 2012 3:55 pm

Ashley simply nods, then walks over to the cribs

Pockets Mon Feb 13, 2012 3:58 pm

Nikki puts a finger to her lips.

Nikki: Shh... Gabe finally got them to sleep.

Alex nods and wipes a tear from Lexi's cheek and quickly texts Ewan, but maintains a firm grip on Lexi.

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 13, 2012 4:08 pm

Ashley doesn't say anything, his eyes fixed on his four grandchildren as his eyes well up

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 13, 2012 4:37 pm

Ewan silently enters the room and heads over to Alex.

Ewan: Any news?

Alex: Not yet, mum's in there now.

Pockets Mon Feb 13, 2012 4:38 pm

Alexis looks up at Ewan.

Alexis: Did something happen with you and Colin?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 13, 2012 4:50 pm

Ewan: There was an altercation yes..... he asked me why I didn't.... how did he put it? "Break every bone in your father's body and get it over with" .... clearly he didn't like my answer.... since he deemed my answers to be "bull" ....twice. My third time explaining it was somewhat.....short tempered.... but not enough to warrant this sort of reaction..... he was composed enough to fire another parting shot my way before he left.

Pockets Mon Feb 13, 2012 4:52 pm

Startled and confused, Alexis glances at Ashley, then back at Ewan.

Alexis: ... what?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 13, 2012 4:55 pm

Ewan: I was as confused as you are....

Pockets Mon Feb 13, 2012 4:58 pm

Alexis: What were your "bs" answers then?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:00 pm

Ewan: That if I'd allowed myself to really hurt Ashley..... I wouldn't have stopped..... I'd have killed him.

Pockets Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:02 pm

Alexis stares at Ewan, wide-eyed and very taken aback.

Alexis: I... see....

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:08 pm

Ashley closes his eyes, his teeth clenching tight grinding. He speaks under his breath

Ashley:"Maybe you should 'ave..."

Pockets Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:11 pm

Alexis winces.

Alexis: Dad...!

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:12 pm

Ewan completely blocks Ashley out, his face unmoving. Alex looks at his father nervously.

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:15 pm

Ashley:"I would 'ave been out of their lives and my son wouldn't be...be..."

Ashley walks out of the room, and keeps walking

Pockets Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:24 pm

Alexis: Dad!

She jumps up.

Alexis: I gotta make sure he doesn't go and do something too!

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:29 pm

Alex: I should probably let you take care of that huh?

Pockets Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:31 pm

Alexis nods and tears out of the room after her father.

Alexis: Dad! Wait up!

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:32 pm

Ewan still hasn't moved..... or blinked.

Alex just sighs and goes and stares at the babies.

Pockets Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:35 pm

Nikki blinks.

Nikki: What just happened?

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:37 pm

Ashley doesn't look back, or stop walking...he only slows down slightly

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:40 pm

Alex: Same thing that always seems to happen..... people are angry and we're in a hospital..... I think I've given up on keeping track of specifics.....

Pockets Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:43 pm

Nikki: That happens a lot?

Alexis is quickly gasping for breath, her long pregnancy bed rest having rendered her a bit out of shape.

Alexis: Dad... wait... up!
