	[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)

	Re: call: neil/ash perspective 2014-02-13 03:27 am UTC (link)
	You make it sound so easy, Neil. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash incharge 2014-02-13 03:29 am UTC (link)
	Of course it's easier said than done. But what am I supposed to say? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash perspective 2014-02-13 03:30 am UTC (link)
	[A long sigh.] I don't know. [A pause.] Can I see you sometime? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash incharge 2014-02-13 03:32 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, of course. Anytime. Sam's still at the facility so I'm just waiting to hear back about a job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash perspective 2014-02-13 03:33 am UTC (link)
	[There's another pause.] Are you doing okay? With money and stuff? Since mom and dad... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash incharge 2014-02-13 03:34 am UTC (link)
	[A shrug.] Yeah, I'm getting by. Louis called in some favors so I'm sure I'll be fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash perspective 2014-02-13 03:34 am UTC (link)
	Can I help? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash incharge 2014-02-13 03:35 am UTC (link)
	[Audible smile.] You can help teach me how to cook. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash perspective 2014-02-13 03:37 am UTC (link)
	[There's a laugh at that.] I can do that. Provide the kitchen? I've been eating takeout since I've been at the Bellagio. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: neil/ash incharge 2014-02-13 03:38 am UTC (link)
	I can do that. There's a lot of space. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
