[She hasn't spoken to him in a while, and she has news. She knows it's still early, but she feels like she needs to tell someone other than Gray. Someone she can talk to. And she doesn't know who else she would talk to about it. Certainly no one in her family.]

Hello, Bruce.

	[...] Hello, Iris. How have you been? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris unsteady 2015-01-23 12:30 am UTC (link)
	[Pen press. No, it's too early in the conversation to just blurt it out. Even onto paper.] I'm fine. You? I haven't asked lately, and I should have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris onerule 2015-01-23 12:45 am UTC (link)
	I'm fine. [...] You don't have to ask. Things are quiet in Gotham, strangely enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris unsteady 2015-01-23 12:49 am UTC (link)
	I do. I can't just go forever without asking. [...] That's good. Right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris onerule 2015-01-23 12:50 am UTC (link)
	I haven't exactly kept in touch either. [...] In a way. It gives us time to focus on long-term problems, but quiet is often the calm before the storm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris unsteady 2015-01-23 12:53 am UTC (link)
	We should [...] not let it go so long. I like hearing from you. [...] Oh. Well then maybe it isn't so good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris onerule 2015-01-23 12:55 am UTC (link)
	[...] I like hearing from you, too. And friends are a rare thing. We shouldn't lose touch. [Blink. Blink.] Eddie and Stephanie are gone. Whatever happens, if anything does, we'll handle it. As we always do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris unsteady 2015-01-23 12:59 am UTC (link)
	[Pause.] I'm sorry. I didn't know. [...] How long? I know you will. I can still wish that it didn't happen quite so often. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris onerule 2015-01-23 01:02 am UTC (link)
	[...] A couple of weeks. It's alright. You had no way of knowing. I know. I do, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris unsteady 2015-01-23 01:07 am UTC (link)
	[...] How are you doing? With them gone? It seemed like you were close. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris onerule 2015-01-23 01:08 am UTC (link)
	We were. Stephanie was like my daughter, and Eddie was a good friend. [...] It's difficult. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris unsteady 2015-01-23 01:15 am UTC (link)
	It's [...] hard to lose family. [So hesitant.] Would good news help? I think it's good? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris onerule 2015-01-23 01:16 am UTC (link)
	[...] It is. I suppose all I can do now is hope that they're happy, wherever they are. [Blink. Blink.] Good news would be nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris unsteady 2015-01-23 01:19 am UTC (link)
	I try to think that, when people leave. [...Nervous!] You know I left Gotham. And I'm staying with someone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris onerule 2015-01-23 01:20 am UTC (link)
	Do you believe it? [...] Yes. ~~Though I still don't know who~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris unsteady 2015-01-23 01:25 am UTC (link)
	[...] Not always, no. [A longer pause. Then in a rush, with her hand shaking.] I'm expecting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris onerule 2015-01-23 01:27 am UTC (link)
	[Sigh.] Neither do I. ~~Expecting wh~~ [Cursor blink.] A child? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris unsteady 2015-01-23 01:29 am UTC (link)
	[...] Yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris onerule 2015-01-23 01:30 am UTC (link)
	That's [...] wonderful, Iris. Congratulations. [The cursor blinks as he considers.] The man you're staying with. What is his name, again? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris unsteady 2015-01-23 01:34 am UTC (link)
	[The congratulations help her feel a little less nervous about it. For the moment.] Thank you. Gray. I know I didn't tell you before. I'm sorry. I was too worried. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris onerule 2015-01-23 01:35 am UTC (link)
	When are you due? [...] It's alright. [...] And where are you, currently? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris unsteady 2015-01-23 01:41 am UTC (link)
	The end of July. It's early. A little too early to be telling people, really. [More open than she has been in the past.] In Dubai. He has a home here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: bruce/iris onerule 2015-01-23 01:42 am UTC (link)
	I think that's a personal preference. You can tell people whenever you like. ~~Has he told anyo~~ [...] This may seem strange, but humor me. What else can you tell me about this man? What is it like there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They say you're supposed to wait until after your first trimester. [...] But I really don't know what I'm doing.

[...] It's nice. There's a library larger than anything I could imagine in a private collection. I'm in there a lot of the time. [...] There's people to help take care of me. [...] He owns hotels. That's where I was in Gotham until it was too dangerous to stay. He treats me well. Makes sure I'm taken care of. [...] I like it here. It's even better now that he's back.

	I'm sure all new mothers feel that way, Iris. A private collection. That's very impressive. [...] These people, who are they? [More blinking. The hotel's don't quite fit, but they could easily be a cover.] I'm glad he treats you well. You said he's back, where did he go? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
