"You're perfect how you are," Astrid promised gently with a small frown, sliding an arm around his neck and kissing him gently. "Don't change for anyone, sweetheart, I love you. I'm not going to leave, I promise. I'm sorry if it's a sore spot for you, I didn't realise... I was only joking, that's all it was. I'm sorry if I hurt you.. again.. seems I'm making a habit, hm? I hate hurting you."

Zacarias just interlocked his fingers with hers.

"No, really Zos, it's nothing. Literally nothing."

Phoenix Thu 28 Aug - 22:49

Zosia just furrowed her brows. "you better not be lying to me."

"Looks like we're gonna need that baby names book faster than we thought we would...a house too."

"Its okay Astrid. Its fine."

**BestNameEva** Thu 28 Aug - 22:50

"No, no it's not." Astrid replied, sighing deeply and sliding her arms around him in a hug. Brushing her fingertips through his hair soothingly.

"Mm, seems so," Zacarias whispered quietly in response to that.

"I'm not."

Phoenix Thu 28 Aug - 22:54

"It's not your fault. You were used to an emotionless robot who exploited how you felt for decades."

"Can you call my parents? Let them know I'm stuck here - " Hope looked to the midwife then. "Assuming you're keeping me in?"

"We would rather do that, yes. Keep an eye on you should your waters go or an infection develops."

"Well yeah then, let my parents know I'm here and ask them to bring the hospital bag down, we should tell Tania too." Hope looked at Zac again then.

Zosia just walked them to where she worked, heading inside the bar and sitting down. "She said she'd be here in five."

**BestNameEva** Thu 28 Aug - 22:59

"I'll phone everyone," Zacarias replied with a small nod.

"I should be used to you by now though," Astrid whispered quietly. "Should be used to perfect, too good for me, you."

Cole just let out a deep sigh and nodded, sitting down beside her.

Phoenix Thu 28 Aug - 23:01

"We'll have to be together at least half the time you were with him for you to begin to get over it."

"Thanks."

"Her names Dasha, and she's really looking forward to meeting you."

**BestNameEva** Thu 28 Aug - 23:08

"Stop treating me like a broken toy, please? I... Just realise that I screw up with you sometimes, because I'm me. Not because I'm a broken toy, or because of Kol, but because of me. I mess up a lot in relationships, I always have.. I can never get an inbetween of things, like you with your past relationships. With Kol I fussed over him too much or not enough. Suggest we do couple things at inappriopriate times apparently. I was too clingy to Kol, to my first husband too actually because he always went out on raids and I always felt like every moment with him was my last. I guess that's why I was clingy to Kol too, because our relationship was so up and down I was never sure if one of our 'breaks' would be the break. It's hard not to be clingy to you, and I've gone the opposite way and I'm not affectionate enough to you which is why all these issues keep coming up. I'm struggling to find a balance, Dex, but that's because I'm me and I make mistakes like everyone else. Not because I'm broken."

"Mm," Cole muttered quietly, sighing.

Zacarias just kissed her cheek before grabbing his phone and heading out of the room.

Phoenix Thu 28 Aug - 23:14

"I didnt mean to treat you like a broken toy. I just... I know you have iddues. And I didn't want us arguing at one point and you saying I wasn't sensitive enough to your issues and I never acknowledged how hard you had it and all the things that were wrong in your other relationships."

Hope watched him go.

"You don't have to be here if you don't want."

**BestNameEva** Thu 28 Aug - 23:18

"I'm here now, can we stop talking about it?"

Zacarias phoned Tatia.

Astrid just nodded subtly in understanding, "I know, Dexter, I know..."

Phoenix Thu 28 Aug - 23:23

"I'm sorry I made you feel like a broken toy. That was wrong of me."

"Hey Zac." Tatia greeted.

Zosia just sighed.

**BestNameEva** Thu 28 Aug - 23:28

"You were just trying to be understanding, it's okay. I'm sorry I keep making mistakes with you too..."

"Hi, Hope's gone into a slow labour. Will you be able to bring the bags we made up to the hospital, please?"

Cole frowned at her sigh.

Phoenix Thu 28 Aug - 23:33

"I feel like I've forced you into doing something you don't want to do."

"Oh wow, yeah of course. We'll be right there soon."

Dex just nodded.

**BestNameEva** Thu 28 Aug - 23:35

"We're okay, hm?" Astrid hummed, hugging him.

"Thanks,"

"You haven't. I choose to be here."

Phoenix Thu 28 Aug - 23:38

"Yeah."

"No worries, tell Hope we send our love and we'll be there soon."

"Just remember you can go at any point if you feel like it."

**BestNameEva** Thu 28 Aug - 23:44

"I will," He replied before hanging up.

"Good," Astrid whispered quietly, "Good…"

"I know," Cole nodded.

Phoenix Thu 28 Aug - 23:50

Zosia nodded, reaching over and patting his arm before turning her head to watch the girl that was coming towards them. She was around 5'6, with chocolate brown hair that was wrapped up in a braid that fell down to her chest. Her eyes were cat-lined with black which allowed the green to stand through. Her skin was sun kissed, though it was clear she didn't tan heavily. "Dasha, hey."

Dasha gave them both a smile before sitting down next to Zosia. "So I finally get to meet your famous little brother." she laughed softly, her voice holding the slightest hint of an English accent.

Dex just packed then.

**BestNameEva** Thu 28 Aug - 23:56

Cole's shoulders tensed, shrinking back into his seat ad beginning to wring his hands nervously as he muttered an almost unhearable: "Hi."

After a few moments, Zacarias phoned Tania.

Astrid sighed softly before wandering back over to Maisie and picking her up.

Phoenix Fri 29 Aug - 0:01

Maisie curled up against her mother with a yawn.

"Hey dad." Tania greeted softly.

"Aw, shy?" Dasha gave him a soft smile. "Don't worry, I wont bite. I know all about you anyway so you don't need to say much, your sister hasnt shut up about you."

**BestNameEva** Fri 29 Aug - 0:04

"Mm," Cole muttered quietly, glaring at his sister from the corner of his eye in embarrassment. "What do you know?" he asked.

Astrid held her close.

"Hey Tania. How're you?"

Phoenix Fri 29 Aug - 0:17

"I know the name of the pet rock you had when you were three, I know about the time you ran into a tree chasing Zos, I know that you were one of those kids that spit milk from their nose when they laughed too hard."

"Good, stop making small talk and tell me why you rang."

Maisie was soon sleeping against her.

**BestNameEva** Fri 29 Aug - 12:45

Cole just groaned, lowering his head to rest his forehead on the edge if the table. Blushing a bright red colour as he hit Zosia's arm.

"Your mothers gone into labour, it's a slow one so it'll still be a while until you meet your sibling but, it'll be sooner then we expected."

Astrid smiled.

Phoenix Fri 29 Aug - 12:51

"Ah, Kay." Tania mumbled.

Zosia just chuckled.

"I'm surprised she hasn't told you about my tragic life to make up for it."

"Ah, silence." Dex chuckled.

((My brother has dug the wii out and wants to play Mario cart so I'll be slow haha))

**BestNameEva** Fri 29 Aug - 13:01

"Come to the hospital so we can talk? I think we need to." Zacarias sighed at her tone.

"She hasn't really told me anything...." Cole grumbled.

Astrid just laughed a bit, kissing the side of Maisie's head and whispering, "Tired angel,"

Phoenix Fri 29 Aug - 13:03

"So this kid isn't even here and I have to stop everything for it. Nice."

"She is an angel. A little gift from them anyway...."

"Ill tell you anything you want."

**BestNameEva** Fri 29 Aug - 13:09

"No, Tania. We just need to talk," He sighed.

"I…. Don't know." Cole mumbled with a small shrug. "Tell me whatever,•

"Mm, she is,"
