calling

Good morning.

Morning, mummy.

Hey, what's wrong, baby?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Hi babe.
We're just having a lazy day, right, monster?

Yea, a lazy day. We're gonna watch Lilo and Stitch.

Yea? Sounds like fun.

It is.
Tomorrow is your mummy's birthday.

I know. How do you know, though?

Because I made her a present.
I drew a picture, it's great. Gemma is taking it with her but we're not going because I have football and also because we weren't invited.

Weren't you? Did you wanna be?

No I guess. There'll be no kids, Gemma said it's only old people. And her. You won't be there, Gemma said.

No, I'm still in France.

Yea.
Can I watch Lilo and Stitch now?

Sure monster, go on. I'll be down in a minute.

Okay, but not too long.
Bye, mummy.

Bye, baby.
So.
Is he really ok?

Yea. Just might be coming down with something.
So we're taking it slow today.
Maybe he's just tired, let's hope.

Ok, let's hope.
And were you really not invited?

What's this?
20 questions?
We kind of were? Dunno. But we're already travelling so much lately and he hasn't been to football regularly, dunno.
Also I don't know anyone that'd be weird.

You'd know people. You were at that wedding with Gemma.

I don't think there is too much overlap in the guestlist actually.
Anyways. How are you?

Not too bad actually. Considering.

Considering?

Considering that you're not here and I'm in my first trimester.
Nauseas is fine again.
Did you really not want to go to mum's birthday? I'm sure she'd be happy if you came.

Babe, no offence but I'm already driving to France every weekend, I don't need to spend tomorrow in the car as well.
And as much as I like your mum, I'm sure she wants to spend it with people she knows better than me.

I'm sure she'd be happy.

I'm sure she would be but, babe. But it's ok if she doesn't wanna spend every second of her life with me, yea? Or even her free time. That's fine.

Yea. I know.
But Freddie said.

Freddie is super direct but doesn't mean anything negative with it. He's just. Saying it how it is you don't need to put anything onto that.
He told you he don't wanna go.
