	No, I was. I did. I-- [Deep breath.] Sorry, this isn't-- how's Evie? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke spacecowboys 2013-09-03 03:45 am UTC (link)
	[Long pause, head shake and so much breath hitching.] She's not good. What- What were you going to say? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke onerule 2013-09-03 04:07 am UTC (link)
	No. I can't even imagine what she-- I don't want to think about it. Poor Will. [Long pause.] Just that now isn't-- I know it's not the right time. I don't want to upset you. We can talk about the baby later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke spacecowboys 2013-09-03 04:09 am UTC (link)
	[Honestly, voice cracking.] It's so selfish, but I- I just- I keep thinking what if it was you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke onerule 2013-09-03 04:12 am UTC (link)
	[Strained.] Baby, no, don't think like that. It won't ever be me. It won't be either of us, okay? We're not dying because of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke spacecowboys 2013-09-03 04:14 am UTC (link)
	You can't be sure. You can't be sure of that. You can't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke onerule 2013-09-03 04:36 am UTC (link)
	Yes, I can, because I'm not dying and you're not dying and I won't lose you, dammit-- [Sudden blaring of horns, muffled cursing, and a deep, deep breath.] I'm not going to let it happen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke spacecowboys 2013-09-03 04:39 am UTC (link)
	[The horn blaring makes her slam on the brakes, which makes Daisy start wailing in her carseat. There are a few minutes of shushing, singing in French, and then the fishing out of a bottle that she had the nanny prepare before leaving. Panicky.] Evie never thought anything would happen. She never mentioned it. She wasn't even thinking about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke onerule 2013-09-03 08:18 am UTC (link)
	[Immediately apologetic.] Sorry. Shit. I'm sorry, fucking people can't drive properly. [Another breath, and a pause.] I know. I know, and it's horrible, but we've already been through so much with Gotham and we're still here. Bruce is careful and I'll talk to Selina, I'll make her understand. It won't happen to us.

	Re: call: wren/luke spacecowboys 2013-09-03 09:07 am UTC (link)
	It's okay. It's okay. [Shallow breaths as she parks the car and fights with carseat to get Daisy out and give her the bottle .] What's Evie going to do? I can't- I wouldn't know what to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke onerule 2013-09-03 10:20 am UTC (link)
	[More quiet as he listens.] I don't know. She-- She'll get through this, I guess. One day at a time. For Daisy. What else can she do? [Another, longer pause.] Did you mean it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke spacecowboys 2013-09-03 01:09 pm UTC (link)
	[Quietly.] I don't think I could. [Her own pause in return.] I just don't feel good, and I'm scared, Luke. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke onerule 2013-09-03 01:13 pm UTC (link)
	[Long stretch of quiet.] I'm scared too. But this doesn't mean-- we can still do this. I know we can. And you'll feel better once we go to the doctor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke spacecowboys 2013-09-03 01:14 pm UTC (link)
	What would- What would you do if I died? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke onerule 2013-09-03 01:21 pm UTC (link)
	[Strangled sound.] Don't. Don't ask me that. You won't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke spacecowboys 2013-09-03 01:23 pm UTC (link)
	[Headshake, and she has to shush the baby for a few seconds. Then in a whisper, near begging.] I want to know. Pretend? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke onerule 2013-09-03 01:29 pm UTC (link)
	Why-- [Sharp inhale, and a long, long pause. Then, barely a whisper.] That'd be it for me. Even Gus-- God help me, even Gus wouldn't be enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke spacecowboys 2013-09-03 01:32 pm UTC (link)
	[So quiet.] Me too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke onerule 2013-09-03 01:36 pm UTC (link)
	[Attempting to keep his voice steady.] Neither of us are going to die. Say it. Please? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke spacecowboys 2013-09-03 01:40 pm UTC (link)
	[She starts to tell him that she doesn't believe that's true, but she stops herself partway.] Neither of us are going to die. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke onerule 2013-09-03 02:02 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. Okay. [Deep breath.] I-- I'm making an appointment with the doctor for you--for us-- this week. Okay? So, just-- you take Daisy home and try to relax, and I'll go help Evie. [Pause.] I love you. So much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: wren/luke spacecowboys 2013-09-03 02:05 pm UTC (link)
	[She just nods, and she forgets that she didn't actually say anything at all. She listens to him breathe for a few seconds longer, and then she disconnects the call softly.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
