[Phone call to Marta. The second that she picks up:]

For the love of god, tell me that you're fucking alright. Both of you.

[Liam, after hesitation]

You make it?

[Sam]

Honey?

[Helena]

No catastrophic vehicular accidents this time around, that's got to count as an improvement.

	[Matching pause. Then the words come muffled, like his fingers are pressed over his mouth.] Oh my god. [And then nothing, because asking? Asking is too fucking terrifying a prospect. He can't think it, so forget about saying the actual words.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. [It was more breath than anything. Quiet for a long time again before an unidentifiable little sound.] I poked her. I poked her really hard until she moved. And she did. She is now sometimes. Like [hitch...] normal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It's a long time before he can make actual, real, human words. And then they're ragged.] Where the hell are you? Let's go home, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Nothing at first, and then a choked little laugh that sounds painful.] I'm in the back yard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A noise in his throat that means surprise.] Already? The dogs okay? I'm gonna jump in a cab. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Worried? Maybe.] I guess I sort of... zoned out for a little and I was just here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Marta / Seven luckiestnumber 2015-05-28 12:26 am UTC (link)
	[After he flags down a cab and climbs in the back, giving his address in Brooklyn.] Put her on the phone, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Marta / Seven inkonstage 2015-05-28 12:28 am UTC (link)
	[A pause. then maybe at least a little less shaky? Almost like there might be the beginnings of a smile.] Seriously? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Marta / Seven luckiestnumber 2015-05-28 12:31 am UTC (link)
	[He actually sounds a little impatient: voice clipped, as his eyes flick to meet the questioning glance of the cabbie and he lifts his upper lip in a half-sneer in retaliation.] Yes. Kindly pass the phone to our unborn daughter, okay? Seriously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Marta / Seven inkonstage 2015-05-28 12:36 am UTC (link)
	[So soft, but like there's finally a smile curling her lips.] You're so weird. [But there's shifting sounds over the phone, and then (from a little ways away) Marta's voice again.] Okay. The phone is on my belly, asshole, and the dogs are looking at me weird. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hey, Bean? [Softly, almost like it could be classified as crooning if it was anyone other than Seven Morgan. He knows that Marta can probably hear him through the phone's speaker, but that doesn't have an impact on what he wants to say to her.] Hey. Hi. It's your dad. I need you to be okay right now, alright? And I need to you to take care of your mom until I get there. Don't make her crave peanut butter on her pickles, because she hates that. And keep kicking, but not too hard.

	[She can hear him through the phone, and what he's saying makes her laugh, but in a way that sounds tearful again. A little distantly again:] I think she's trying to punch my kidney. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Marta / Seven luckiestnumber 2015-05-28 12:58 am UTC (link)
	Girl! Stop that! [Playing at sounding real stern, and almost entirely unsuccessful.] It's not nice to beat up your mom's organs. Can't you just get those adorable hiccups again? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Marta / Seven inkonstage 2015-05-28 01:02 am UTC (link)
	Oh hell no... [A rustle and then she's talking into the phone again.] No fucking hiccups. You think they're cute, but I'm the one that has to live with them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Marta / Seven luckiestnumber 2015-05-28 01:05 am UTC (link)
	[Smirking intensifies.] They can't be that bad, honey. They're tiny and barely even make your peachfuzz dance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Marta / Seven inkonstage 2015-05-28 01:08 am UTC (link)
	[The glare could kill. Even through the phone.] One, they're awful. You have no idea. Next time she gets them, I'm going to poke you under the ribs every time she hiccups. See how adorable they are then. Two! Shut the fuck up about the peach fuzz, I'm hormonal and it happens, and if I could, I would wax my entire fucking body right now.

	Re: Call: Marta / Seven luckiestnumber 2015-05-28 02:04 pm UTC (link)
	[Okay, now it's just straight-up grinning as the cab turns onto his street.] You know I love your peachfuzz, babe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Marta / Seven inkonstage 2015-05-28 02:17 pm UTC (link)
	[Cranky sound.] I hate you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He doesn't even have to bother with that one, because they both know that lie for what it is. He gets it thrown in his face every time he teases her, which is - well, not infrequently.] See you in a few, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Marta / Seven inkonstage 2015-06-03 01:17 am UTC (link)
	[So gently, back to sounding a little bruised.] Okay. Be safe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Marta / Seven luckiestnumber 2015-06-03 01:42 am UTC (link)
	[It doesn't escape him.] You too, honey. [Click.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
