Da would be proud Jan 29 19:07:27 * HH smiles Jan 29 19:08:23 Thanks man, but that “Yer sisters, you gotta stick together” was just me repeating what he use to say to our Rebekah and Hannah over an over Jan 29 19:08:54 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:08:59 Thought it sounded familiar Jan 29 19:09:08 * HH nods Jan 29 19:09:30 Normally clodpated young lads, not clodpated husbands, m8nd you Jan 29 19:09:56 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:11:26 We'll see how it goes now Jan 29 19:12:20 * HH nods Jan 29 19:13:10 Think it was needed, man.

Jan 29 19:33:24 I didn’t want to be late *she smiles* Jan 29 19:33:37 * Morgan looks confused Jan 29 19:34:55 For the meet8ng with Reverend Loewe. I had to walk fast Jan 29 19:35:10 He's not due for a while though Jan 29 19:38:00 * Molly looks at the clock Jan 29 19:38:37 “oh! it’s only twenty to ten! It felt like that took much longer!” Jan 29 19:38:52 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:38:54 It did rather Jan 29 19:40:18 * Molly flops on the chaise, kicking off her shoes Jan 29 19:40:59 what on Theah was he thinking, inviting Alice too?! Jan 29 19:41:23 He said that those words would've come out anyway, just at a less safe time Jan 29 19:44:49 * Molly nods, settling back, eyes closed “True enough, but oh, did my heart suddenly pound!” *she touches her belly* “Must have gotten suddenly loud for you, little stag!” Jan 29 19:45:12 * Morgan smiles, shifting to put his hand to her belly Jan 29 19:47:56 * Molly opens her eyes, smiling Jan 29 19:48:24 I’m sure he’s fine Jan 29 19:48:58 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:49:00 I'm sure he is Jan 29 19:49:13 I was talking to the baby... *she giggles* Jan 29 19:49:24 * Morgan looks confused Jan 29 19:49:38 You, my love, look more relaxed Jan 29 19:49:47 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:49:49 I am somewhat Jan 29 19:49:56 I’ll take it Jan 29 19:50:22 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:50:23 Indeed Jan 29 19:50:30 * Molly smiles Jan 29 19:50:41 thank goodness for Heinzharold, hmm? Jan 29 19:50:46 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:50:50 yeah Jan 29 19:51:08 we’ll have to wait and see what happens now? Jan 29 19:51:13 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:51:24 Aye. Nothing else to be done but wait Jan 29 19:52:01 No. Where do you want Reverend Loewe? Jan 29 19:52:42 In here I suppose. Doesn't need to be so formal as my office Jan 29 19:53:00 * Molly nods Jan 29 19:53:23 it’s nice in here. It’s comfortable, and I do like being comfortable Jan 29 19:53:37 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:53:43 I like the light Jan 29 19:54:11 * Molly smiles Jan 29 19:54:17 Good for sketching? Jan 29 19:54:29 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:54:31 Reckon so Jan 29 19:54:43 oh to have the free time, hmm? Jan 29 19:55:16 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:55:54 before this *she puts her hand over his* changes aga8n? Jan 29 19:56:22 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:56:24 aye Jan 29 19:57:04 * Molly nods Jan 29 19:57:41 we could do that in Quiet Hour, though the light is not so good. But we’ll be overrun with guests soon Jan 29 19:58:15 * Morgan nods Jan 29 19:58:18 We will, yes Jan 29 19:58:59 * Molly smiles “It’ll keep us out of mischief?” Jan 29 19:59:08 * Morgan shrugs Jan 29 19:59:15 Its unlikely, lets be honest Jan 29 19:59:56 * Molly shrugs “it depends on whether everyone can just behave themselves now!” Jan 29 20:00:23 Remains to be seen Jan 29 20:00:49 * Molly nods, closing her eyes again Jan 29 20:01:02 it would be very nice of them if they could! Jan 29 20:01:13 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:01:15 Yes,it would Jan 29 20:01:39 Even a few hours would be wonderful! Jan 29 20:03:01 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:03:07 Aye Jan 29 20:04:13 * Molly smiles. Her hand is warm over his, her bump beneath it firm Jan 29 20:06:27 * Morgan shifts to get more comfortable Jan 29 20:07:52 * Molly moves further against the arm so he can recline beside her Jan 29 20:09:52 * Morgan does so Jan 29 20:10:11 * Molly rests her cheek to his shoulder Jan 29 20:10:39 Will he come early again, do you think? Jan 29 20:11:15 Who? Jan 29 20:12:26 Reverend Loewe Jan 29 20:14:22 oh... who knows. Maybe ehe'll be moe careful about the time this time Jan 29 20:14:26 * Molly glances at him, smiling “Who did you think I meant?” Jan 29 20:14:36 * Morgan taps her belly gently Jan 29 20:15:22 oh... I would like him to come in the first few days off September Jan 29 20:15:29 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:15:33 We'll see Jan 29 20:16:51 As long as it is before the anniversary. Jan 29 20:17:08 We don't really have a say in that Jan 29 20:17:18 * Molly looks down Jan 29 20:18:04 I request that you vacate your present residence between September first and September fourteenth, young man. Jan 29 20:18:43 * Morgan smiles Jan 29 20:19:13 Any later than that and I won’t be fit to go to the service Jan 29 20:19:48 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:19:53 I will still have to go Jan 29 20:19:59 * Molly nods Jan 29 20:20:13 there is no question of that Jan 29 20:20:52 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:21:36 That is why he must be born in time for me to look back to normal by then Jan 29 20:22:11 We will deal with whatever happens Jan 29 20:22:22 * Molly nods Jan 29 20:23:00 Do you need to check on Edward? Jan 29 20:23:34 I probably should Jan 29 20:24:04 But you’d rather be here? *she taps his hand gently* Jan 29 20:24:09 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:24:10 Yes I would Jan 29 20:24:56 * Molly smiles to herself “You do have a little time before Reverend Loewe should arrive” Jan 29 20:25:08 * Morgan sighs Jan 29 20:25:14 I'm not sure he'll appreciate the interruption Jan 29 20:25:51 You think you might see something you shouldn’t be seeing? *she giggles* Jan 29 20:26:15 No... I suspect he will be angry Jan 29 20:26:42 * Molly nods Jan 29 20:26:51 Heinzharold pulled few punches there Jan 29 20:27:09 You think so? Jan 29 20:29:41 you do not? He made it clear that Edward was at fault entirely Jan 29 20:29:51 * Morgan shrugs Jan 29 20:29:56 They don't really believe that anyway Jan 29 20:31:07 who doesn’t? Jan 29 20:31:12 Edward and Mina Jan 29 20:31:17 * Molly frowns Jan 29 20:31:23 The blame Alice? Jan 29 20:31:26 they* Jan 29 20:31:36 Oh, no... Edward less so but... me Jan 29 20:32:01 * Molly fidgets so she can look at him, and his hand gets dislodged Jan 29 20:32:06 And you? Jan 29 20:32:40 I started a situation that kept them apart... the choices they made were theirs. I told them they could shove that blame up their backsides Jan 29 20:32:49 * Molly smiles Jan 29 20:33:26 I am pleased that you are not blaming yourself entirely Jan 29 20:35:07 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:35:43 You’ve come a long way Jan 29 20:35:50 * Morgan shrugs Jan 29 20:36:19 I agreed with them until... I don't know, after Mina met Florrie Jan 29 20:37:00 why then? Jan 29 20:37:50 I don't know. Edward getting annoyed just... something in here *he taps his temple* just sort of... snapped. Its like I heard a voice in my head just say 'enough' Jan 29 20:38:58 * Molly nods Jan 29 20:40:00 I hope now things will get easier. I need them to, when I have enough to do with the baptisms and being a hostess for the first time Jan 29 20:40:27 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:40:38 We're supposed to be able to look to them for support in that Jan 29 20:42:01 * Molly nods Jan 29 20:42:28 I know. But your Mother will arrive today, and she will help Jan 29 20:42:48 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:42:53 Yes, she will Jan 29 20:43:56 * Molly gently kisses him before settling back where she was Jan 29 20:44:22 * Morgan smiles a little Jan 29 20:44:30 I'll go interrupt him... see how things stand Jan 29 20:44:45 * Molly nods, smiling Jan 29 20:45:09 Alright, my love. I’m sure I can handle things here while you’re gone Jan 29 20:45:57 * Morgan nods, getting up Jan 29 20:46:03 I'll see you soon Jan 29 20:46:42 * Molly nods, watching him “I’ll let you know if he comes” Jan 29 20:48:11 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:48:14 Alright love Jan 29 20:48:26 * Morgan smiles briefly before leaving, heading to find his brother Jan 29 20:49:00 *Edward and Mina’s door is closed when he gets there* Jan 29 20:49:21 * Morgan listens for a moment before knocking Jan 29 20:49:45 *There’s nothing to hear, except for Mina calling “Enter” Jan 29 20:49:58 * Morgan goes in, glancing around Jan 29 20:50:34 *Mina is sat doing some needlework by the window* Jan 29 20:50:38 * Molly is now known as Mina Jan 29 20:51:28 Morgan, did you come for Edward? Jan 29 20:51:47 I, uhhh... yes I did. Jan 29 20:52:54 * Mina nods Jan 29 20:52:59 He’s gone for a walk Jan 29 20:53:48 He does that. Don't suppose he said where? Jan 29 20:54:12 * Mina shakes her head “Just around the estate I think” Jan 29 20:54:23 * Morgan nods, pausing Jan 29 20:54:27 How are you faring? Jan 29 20:56:29 * Mina nods, folding the needle carefully into the fabric Jan 29 20:56:44 I think I am faring well Jan 29 20:57:00 * Morgan watches her for a moment Jan 29 20:58:03 * Mina watches him. She’s in that warm green, like from his dream Jan 29 20:58:28 It was painful... Jan 29 20:58:43 * Morgan nods Jan 29 20:59:09 Yes, it was... for all of us Jan 29 20:59:45 * Mina nods Jan 29 21:00:24 I think Edward will be back soon, he will not want to miss the appointment with Florrie Jan 29 21:01:25 This tendency of his to go for a walk alone when things are tough cannot be easy for you Jan 29 21:02:56 * Mina smiles slightly Jan 29 21:03:41 I understand his need to deal with the most intense of his moments without scrutiny Jan 29 21:04:49 I think the problem with that is he bottles it all up... which doesn't help him Jan 29 21:06:40 He and I are similar in that. He is angry now, but he will return calmer, I have no doubt Jan 29 21:06:51 * Morgan nods Jan 29 21:06:59 Would you like me to leave you in peace? Jan 29 21:09:13 * Mina smiles a little “I thought you would want to be with Molly to discuss things before the visit” Jan 29 21:11:14 * Morgan shrugs Jan 29 21:11:32 I need to know how things lie before I can concentrate Jan 29 21:12:30 In what way? Jan 29 21:12:59 That everyone is alright... if we're at odds Jan 29 21:15:43 * Mina smiles “Edward and I are in harmony with each other, and I am not at odds with you” Jan 29 21:16:16 I miss... the trust, the closeness... you know? Jan 29 21:16:59 This has been very difficult. I know you did not mean it to be so Jan 29 21:17:20 * Morgan nods, sighing Jan 29 21:18:31 I do want the fresh start Heinzharold suggested Jan 29 21:19:01 * Morgan nods Jan 29 21:19:23 I didn't realise Alice's point of view, with regards to your future children Jan 29 21:19:59 * Mina nods Jan 29 21:20:42 One cannot have had a loving father as I did and not feel sympathy for Edward’s child at having been denied that Jan 29 21:21:25 * Morgan nods Jan 29 21:21:47 That is distancing language Jan 29 21:22:14 What makes you say so? Jan 29 21:22:47 You call her Edwards child... Jan 29 21:23:53 Because that is the salient point. She is his child, and he was not there for her earliest years as my Father was mine, and your Father yours. Jan 29 21:24:20 * Morgan nods Jan 29 21:24:42 Alright. I don't recall you challenging me quite so much... Jan 29 21:25:18 * Mina smiles Jan 29 21:25:49 My apologies Jan 29 21:26:01 * Morgan shakes his head Jan 29 21:26:26 Don't. Just takes a little getting used to after knowing the quieter, less... forthright version of you Jan 29 21:28:08 * Mina nods “I am not normally contrary Jan 29 21:29:34 * Morgan shrugs Jan 29 21:29:50 I am, even when I try not to be Jan 29 21:31:11 * Mina nods “Are things between you and Molly in harmony?” Jan 29 21:31:36 * Morgan nods Jan 29 21:31:42 Aye... things are a bit easier now Jan 29 21:31:53 * Mina smiles Jan 29 21:32:24 “You are vocalising from the same sheet...” Jan 29 21:32:39 * Morgan nods Jan 29 21:32:43 Most of the time, yes Jan 29 21:33:42 * Mina watches him a moment before smiling “I will not make more trouble for you” Jan 29 21:35:09 With a bit of... trust and forgiveness... we could all be -really- happy Jan 29 21:36:04 * Mina watches him Jan 29 21:36:12 what more is needed? Jan 29 21:37:14 Stop that, I do the watching around here... tell me, what else -is- needed? Jan 29 21:37:31 For what? Jan 29 21:38:10 You asked what more is needed... Jan 29 21:38:34 For you all to be really happy Jan 29 21:39:13 No... for -us- all to be really happy. All of us. Jan 29 21:40:56 what do you think that will take? Jan 29 21:41:36 I'm not sure... acceptance, perhaps. Jan 29 21:42:05 Acceptance of what though Jan 29 21:42:53 well... for you, that it isn't Alice's fault... that she isn't an enemy... and neither is Florrie. And catching pregnant, I think that'll help Jan 29 21:45:11 * Mina nods a little “She did not know. I do not understand how a woman could be so indiscreet or careless with a stranger, but that is by the by.” Jan 29 21:46:47 * Morgan smiles a little Jan 29 21:47:09 I know it is... fairly common... I do not judge those that do so but I don't really get it either Jan 29 21:47:30 * Mina nods Jan 29 21:47:59 It is too close and too vulnerable to give away without deep trust Jan 29 21:48:18 * Morgan nods Jan 29 21:48:51 He told me something after you were married... about how -different- it was... Jan 29 21:49:27 * Mina ‘s micro expression show more curiosity than her face Jan 29 21:49:31 Did he? Jan 29 21:49:43 * Morgan nods Jan 29 21:50:28 what did he say? Jan 29 21:51:11 That with you it was so much more than just physical... like his very soul was involved Jan 29 21:51:31 * Mina nods Jan 29 21:52:08 I felt that too. It felt like the world was suddenly new and fresh Jan 29 21:52:15 * Morgan nods Jan 29 21:52:26 So did he. Jan 29 21:54:06 * Mina nods Jan 29 21:54:46 I don’t want to lose that Jan 29 21:55:05 * Morgan nods Jan 29 21:55:26 I think, providing you are open with eachother as you were, you won't lose it. You're -meant- to be together Jan 29 21:55:35 * Mina nods Jan 29 21:55:50 I cannot picture having married anyone else Jan 29 21:56:03 * Morgan nods Jan 29 21:58:00 * Mina smiles “I think we will survive this, and have a child of our own who Edward can be with from the start” Jan 29 21:58:58 * Morgan nods Jan 29 21:59:08 He will thrive with that Jan 29 21:59:16 * Mina nods Jan 29 21:59:47 Will I send him to you, or might you be busy before Reverend Loewe arrives? Jan 29 22:00:08 Its important... have him come find me Jan 29 22:00:34 * Mina nods Jan 29 22:00:45 I will do so Jan 29 22:01:36 Thank you, Mina. We do love you deeply. Jan 29 22:01:49 I you as well Jan 29 22:01:57 * Morgan moves to the door Jan 29 22:02:00 I had to look it up Jan 29 22:02:48 Look what up? Jan 29 22:02:57 Cockstand... Jan 29 22:03:07 * Mina blushes hard Jan 29 22:03:44 I am surprised a dictionary had it Jan 29 22:04:05 * Morgan smiles Jan 29 22:04:08 It took some finding Jan 29 22:04:15 * Mina nods Jan 29 22:04:30 Now you have found it, I hope you can put it to good use Jan 29 22:04:52 Oh I imagine so Jan 29 22:05:14 Perhaps Molly might find it interesting Jan 29 22:05:49 I daresay she will Jan 29 22:05:56 * Mina nods Jan 29 22:06:41 I hope your appointment is pleasant Jan 29 22:07:10 * Morgan inclines his head, thanking her before leaving Jan 29 22:27:28 * Mina has quit (Read error: EOF from client) Jan 29 23:07:38 * Morgan has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
