Hi, this is Erin

I'm sorry, but I can't come to the phone right now

Please leave a message after the tone and I'll get back to you as soon as I can

*Beep*

"Hey Erin, it's me... I know you won't pick up, but I talked to Steve the other day... He's been counselling a group about dealing with the blip, and he told me that writing you a letter might be a good way to process all of this... *chuckles slightly* This obviously isn't a letter, but I figured since you and I are a bit more up to speed about modern technology than he is, a voicemail would do the trick too. *sighs heavily* Now that I'm doing it, I don't know what to say. I really don't... It's been two months, E. *takes a shaky breath* Two fucking months and I'm not feeling better at all. I'm staying at the Compound 'cause I can't bear to be in the apartment when you're not there... I just... *sniffs* I really don't know what to do right now... We lost, and you're gone. Probably not coming back either. And I just... *takes a deep breath* I don't know what to do... I miss you."

"Hi, E. It's been a while since I left the last voicemail, and a lot has happened. I figured you might like to hear about it... So, Pepper found out she's pregnant. We don't know the gender yet, but we're all really excited. Tony's kinda terrified though, but I know he's excited too. Nat and I have a bet about what the baby'll be. I think it's gonna be a girl and Nat thinks it'll be a boy. I don't really care what it is, but I kinda hope it's a girl 'cause god knows a little Tony running around would be a disaster and I don't think Pepper would survive if there were two of him *chuckles*... I wish you were here 'cause I know you'd be so excited and buy more onesies than that baby could possibly need... You'd be great... *takes a deep breath* You know, I'm obviously happy about them having a baby, but I'm also so sad about everything... And I feel like I almost don't have the right to be. Everyone lost people, but a lot of us are still here, and we're all trying to somehow keep going... *sniffs* but I'm not feeling it. I'm not happy, and some days I can't even get out of bed, or open the curtains, or take a shower. I just lie there, or sit there, and stare into nothing 'cause I just can't bring myself to move and do something. And I hate you so much for leaving me *cries slightly*... Why did it have to be you? It could've been some random person that I don't know. Why did I have to lose you too?.. I hate myself for thinking like that... And I don't hate you. I love you."
