calling

Babe, what's wrong?

Oh, I didn't think you'd answer.

It's the middle of the night, are you alright?

Yea. Just.
I miss you.

Sweetheart.

Remember what we said about you being sweet when I'm not there?

Alright, mera mendhak.
Baby, don't cry, I didn't mean it.

No, just.
You're calling me a frog and it's just making me miss you more.
How can you be so sweet without being sweet it's not fair!

Well done for understanding, babes.

I listened to it a lot because I was trying to remember what you said. It's not what you said last time, though. Is it?

No, babe. But I don't think I'm allowed to say.

So you were being sweet.
And I accused you of calling me a frog.

Babe, don't cry.
It's not that unlikely, you do know me.

Don't laugh, I don't mean to cry!

I know, babes.
I just don't know what to do.

It's fine.
Just talking helps.
And you're coming Friday, so that's good.

Technically tomorrow.

Yea. Tomorrow. Two sleeps, as Freddie said.

Hm.
How was you evening then?

It was good, despite what you might think.
I had fun.
Just. Not drinking is weird. And they don't know or keep forgetting and offering me stuff and they became pretty sloppy at one point and I wasn't.
And it just made me miss you.

Sloppy people?

Maybe.
No, joking. Just. I don't know.
I just like having you close I guess.

What are you even holding a party on a Wednesday, that's ridiculous.

A few more of the cast arrived today.
Dunno, I just went along.

Hm.

Why are you frowning like that?

I actually wanted to talk to you but Freddie was always underfoot and I'm not sure now is the best time.

Now you gotta talk to me...

Yea.
I was wondering when you wanted to talk to Freddie about being pregnant or. Having a baby.

Not sure I wanna do it this weekend. I don't. I just want to spend time with him.
And like. I think he'll be disappointed if he can't see anything.

Yea.
I'll bring a few books along so you can read them before we read them with Freddie.
Not too sure about a few.
I don't know. Some are really dumb.

You bought books for Freddie?

Yea.
Also got a couple of dinosaur ones, it's really good that he's obsessed with popular obsessions, there's loads of children's books with dinosaurs.
Not so much about mummy and baba, though.
But some of them are so cute, I swear!
And some are really dumb. I don't know, I don't name a book Big Brothers Are Best, that's so lazy.
