Re: Robert and Sean
Robert laughed. "I'm sure she was trying to help without really knowing what she was doing. As I said, she's got a good heart. I never said her ways are always the right ones."
He sighed. "I know. I always thought my father was dead and my mother never wanted to talk about him. It doesn't matter what the truth is, it's what we feel, and your dad was alive, but it's hard when most of his life is classified. Hard for you." Robert put an arm around Sean and squeezed. "I don't think we ever get over what our parents did. Look at G. Parents are the ones that can fuck us up forever whether they mean it or not. Scares the shit out of me, to be honest with you, because now-" He let go and pointed to the incubator. "There are so many ways that I can fuck him up, and you get front row seats."
Robert chuckled. "All right, but you don't have much time. You've got less than a week, because you know it's coming."
He nodded. "That's smart, the living arrangements. The rest is such crap," he said, laughing. "I get... well no, I'm big on not falling for anyone. In fact, I don't even want to think about Savannah's honeymoon. Between me and Mike, I don't know want to know how many pregnant women there are around," he said with a snort, and then sighed. "I guess you're right. With the way things are here, causal isn't something that you can do anyway. I'm a firm believer that everyone will end up paired up because the alternative is going nuts and alone forever. All right, then ignore me. Go talk to your dad. Just make sure that you don't get too involved with Troy without meaning to, unless you want to in which case, go forth and fuck."
