	[Pause. Concern.] What? No. I lost it on you and I shouldn't have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash perspective 2014-02-08 07:20 am UTC (link)
	That's not it. I just- [She pauses for a moment to draw in a deep breath, though it does little to really calm her.] I'm pregnant, Neil. That's why I'm sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash incharge 2014-02-08 07:25 am UTC (link)
	[Not what he was expecting. A long, long pause, and he doesn't even think of Alexander. Yet.] Shit. I mean-- are you okay? How do you feel? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash perspective 2014-02-08 07:28 am UTC (link)
	[Hello, tears.] I'm not sure yet. I just found out earlier this week and I don't know how I feel right now. Freaking out mostly. But isn't that expected? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash incharge 2014-02-08 07:33 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I'd say that's perfectly normal. But listen, no matter what, it'll be okay. [Long exhale.] Does anyone else know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash perspective 2014-02-08 07:35 am UTC (link)
	[She's quiet for a little, wiping at her eyes and nose.] You're the first person in our family I've told. A couple friends know, but that's it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash incharge 2014-02-08 07:53 am UTC (link)
	I won't say anything. This is your news to tell. [Pause, and he forces himself to keep calm.] Does the father know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash perspective 2014-02-08 02:20 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. [A soft sigh.] I told him first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash incharge 2014-02-10 03:06 am UTC (link)
	[Long pause, and a sigh.] Whatever you decide, Ash, I'll support you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash perspective 2014-02-10 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	[She's quiet for a bit at that.] That means a lot to me right now, Neil. I was- I was afraid you'd hang up on me. When you found out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash incharge 2014-02-11 12:26 am UTC (link)
	[Heavy exhale.] I'm not going to pretend I like this. I'm not an idiot, I know who the father is. But, first and foremost, you're my sister. I want what's best for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash perspective 2014-02-11 01:09 am UTC (link)
	[Quietly.] I just wish I knew what was best for me right now. Because I don't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash incharge 2014-02-12 02:56 am UTC (link)
	You don't have to know right now, Ash. Just... take some time. Think. But don't let anyone pressure you into doing anything, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash perspective 2014-02-12 03:44 am UTC (link)
	[There's a murmur of assent and then silence for a long while.] I'm sorry this happened, Neil. I really am. I should have listened to the lot of you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash incharge 2014-02-12 04:49 am UTC (link)
	[Sigh.] Don't be sorry. It's not your fault. [...] We just have to move forward. That's all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash perspective 2014-02-12 03:51 pm UTC (link)
	Not my fault? I continued on with him even though everyone was against it. Seems like it was my fault, even if no one wants to tell me that, now. [There's a soft sigh.] And I did take precautions, Neil. Just so you know. So you all don't think me even more stupid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash incharge 2014-02-12 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	We didn't want you to get hurt. We still don't. [...] I know. Sometimes things happen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash perspective 2014-02-13 12:31 am UTC (link)
	[She's quiet for a long while, a hard breath towards the end.] Maybe I should just go to a doctor. And take care of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash incharge 2014-02-13 03:14 am UTC (link)
	[Long pause.] Is that what you want? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash perspective 2014-02-13 03:15 am UTC (link)
	[There's a lot of silence.] No. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash incharge 2014-02-13 03:19 am UTC (link)
	Okay. [...] So you want to keep the baby? What about the father? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash perspective 2014-02-13 03:20 am UTC (link)
	I need to keep Alexander involved, don't I? It's his child as well, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash incharge 2014-02-13 03:22 am UTC (link)
	[Pause.] If he wants to be involved, yeah. But-- don't let him control you, Ash. Just because he's the father doesn't mean he gets to tell you what to do and how to do it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash perspective 2014-02-13 03:24 am UTC (link)
	He wants to be involved. He's told me as much. [She lets out a long sigh.] And I don't plan on letting him control me, Neil. But I can't ignore him, either. And that's what makes this difficult. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash incharge 2014-02-13 03:26 am UTC (link)
	[Pause.] No, I know. It won't be easy. But we'll [...] take it one step at a time, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
