so i'm time skipping a little but like, nothing important has happened so :))

INCOMING CALL FROM GINGER KADE

"hi carter, how's-"

"matt! okay so, are you calm? don't eat. like, don't put anything in your mouth right now or you might choke."

"uhm, okay? is everything okay, ginger?"

"it's logan, she started bleeding so barbara drove her to the hospital."

"what?"

"stay calm, matthew. she's probably just spotting, it's common. i read about it online. grape is probably fine, and so is lo."

"how am i supposed to stay calm when my son might die? i haven't even met him yet and you're telling me that logan is bleeding. he might die before he's even born, carter."

"daddario, you fucking listen to me. i know that shit is getting rough, that it's scary right now, that you and logan are only six weeks away from having a kid, but you need to stay calm. barbara is on the other line, if you just hold a few seconds i'll check to see if everything's okay."

"i'll hold, i'll fucking hold just find out what's happening to them."

"..."

"i'm back."

"thank fuck."

"they are fine, she was just spotting, like i said. they are both fine, grape is still very much alive, and so is logan."

"okay. thanks carter."

"no problem, we're family now."

"we are?"

"of course we are, you fool. you are grape's dad, and you're growing on all of us. i mean, we really do consider you a part of the family. you're a kade now, which sucks for you because we are a family of hurricanes. we seem kind of cool at first and then we really hit you with the shitstorm that's our lives."

"we should talk more often, you're not as scary as i previously thought you were."

"i eat people like you for breakfast."

"bye carter."
