askia was pacing around her hotel room, tears streaming down her face, trying to build the courage to call chris.

she had her thumb over the button, when her phone rang. it was him.

she laughed, and took a breath before answering.

'hello?'

'man i've missed your voice,'

askia smiled, sitting on the end of her bed.

'i was just about to call you,'

'really? that's weird,'
'are you crying?'

'no!'
'well i was,'
'but i stopped,'

'oh ok,'
'i have to tell you something,'

'i have to tell you something,'

'you first,'

'you first,'

chris laughed.

'you go first,'

'right ok,'
'i just wanted to say sorry,'
'i was such a dick about everything,'
'liz came over and explained
everything, i'm such an idiot,'
'i miss you so much,'
'and i was going to book
a flight and come there
as soon as i could,'
'but liz told me to call first,'
'in case you never wanted to
see me again,

askia laughed.

'i miss you too,'
'like a lot,'

the pair sat in silence for a few moments, happy to be talking to each other at last.

'so what did you want to tell me?'

'shit yeah,'
'well i'd prefer to do this in person,'
'but here goes nothing i guess,'
'i'm pregnant,'
