WHO: Caradoc Dearborn and Julia Macnair
WHAT: Caradoc wasn't entirely forthcoming
WHERE: Julia's house
WHEN: Monday night
WHY: Caradoc wasn't entirely forthcoming

Caradoc was at Julia's house in minutes, pounding on her door. He'd hoped he could put off this conversation a lot longer, but he wasn't sure he had much of a choice at this point. He'd been careless to mention his vanishing to Emmeline. Julia didn't know many people there yet; of course she'd be reading her journal.

He didn't want to stay at her doorstep long; he was unused to showing up at her front door and still felt quite nervous about it. They still couldn't risk being caught.

	Julia breathed out a sigh. "Skeeter's such a bint," she said, still leaning against him, fiddling distractedly with the hem of Caradoc's shirt, the scared-shitless feeling not subsiding one bit. "What do we do now?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Caradoc sighed. The question weighed on him heavily. "I don't know," he said at last. After another moment, he added, "But if I ever call you Abby by mistake, it's not because of another woman. I promise. That's the name you changed to." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A ghost of a smile tugged at the corner of Julia's lips at Caradoc's words. "Abby?" she squinched her nose, not sure if she liked it or not. "What did you change yours to?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Michael," Caradoc said, leaning backwards to rest against the back of the sofa, his head on the wall behind. "Like my dad. Merlin knows why," he added with a small grimace. "Oh, and we're the Walkers there. Nice neighbours, too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Michael," she repeated, trying it out. "And where is 'there'?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Caradoc cocked his head to the side, knowing this part might also be a surprise. Nothing like the earlier ones though, of course. "Sydney. Australia." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sydney was far. Julia sighed. "And I suppose it's safe to assume that we're living as Muggles..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Caradoc scoffed. "Hell no," he insisted, almost appalled at the idea. "'s why we went so far away, Abigail. We had to at least keep something normal and the same. Besides, would you want to raise our daughter without magic? No." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The idea of raising a daughter, let alone with Caradoc was still very new, strange, and scary to Julia, but the irony that they were living as a married couple in Australia didn't escape her. "So we're Mr. and Mrs. Walker." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Caradoc nodded. "Yeah. That's us. Awfully more conventional than I ever thought we'd end up," he admitted, giving a small smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She glanced up at him and for no real reason, pecked a kiss on his cheek. "What does she look like? Tory," Julia asked after a pause, curiosity about their daughter growing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"She's...tiny," Caradoc said, softening at the memory. He smiled and he was no longer looking at Julia, at the room around them. He was remembering the hospital. "She's got this little tuft of hair, and these big blue eyes." He spoke fondly; he'd not been able to talk about his daughter to anyone since he'd been there and he missed the bragging.

	"Well, look at you," Julia said affectionately, she patted his cheek, his smile rubbing off on her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	presumeddead 2009-07-28 08:54 am UTC (link)
	Caradoc's smile faded. "I miss her. Sometimes I hope there'll suddenly be a Tory Walker who shows up here," he admitted, feeling guilty. "I just want to know if she grows up all right. Except I don't want to miss her growing up at all, either." (Reply to this) (Parent)
