Hey, lovely - Just heard from my little brother that your little brother is staying with you. They go to the same school. Is Harry okay? Ains said he wasn't at school today.

How old is he? That's amazing. I can tell you're a proud big brother. Fuck, kids can be cunts these days. He sounds like he's having a rough time. So, he won't be back at school tomorrow?

[artsdesire]

He turned 15 a month ago. I'm beyond proud. There's not enough proud words. Tell me about it. It took all my inner strength not to commit grievous bodily harm on them. He's just a little fragile and vulnerable at the moment. Just giving him a change of scenery. No, I'm going to keep him off until Monday. Give him a chance to rest up.

I think my brother is about two steps away from needing photographic evidence to ensure he's not really dead. Harry made quite the impression on him. You sound like me. I'd have put a bullet in them, or gotten Clint to. Probably best if he has a tummy bug. It can take a few days.

Funny, my mom said the same thing. Promise, he's still got a pulse, just pale and unimpressed with having a camera in his face. I'm not surprised, Haz is pretty sweet. He has piles of friends. It's not easy being the new kid, let alone the new kid who pukes in front of the whole school.

Has he got the same blue eyes as you? The resemblance is undeniable. Poor baby doesn't look good. No, that's the last thing he needs. He'll be mortified.

[artsdesire]

He has, yes. We have the same eyes as our dad. But he's the baby of a big family, so even over distance, my mom and my sisters are in over-protective mode. It's a miracle they're not on a flight here as we speak.

Plus, he's a long way from home, so it's understandable they'd be feeling like that. The big sibling job is never done, and I hear it's the same being a parent. Do you think he's not feeling well because it's been a big upheaval?

[artsdesire]

Parenting looks hard has fuck. Not so much an upheaval as a rough week in general. It wouldn't have helped.

[americanskin]

It does. It's probably why I don't really have the urge myself. Do you think he'll adjust okay in NY?

[artsdesire]

That's okay, Ange. Not everyone wants or needs kids. How's the pregnancy going? He'll adjust anywhere he can dance. I'm hoping he'll had a stab at Juilliard when he finishes high school. He's a complex kid, but not a complicated one.

[americanskin]

I've honestly never had a maternal urge. Even now, I don't feel like I need to have one. It's not too bad. Everything seems to be running smoothly. I feel a bit shit some days, but that's okay. What sort of lad is he like? Are you going to have your hands full?

[artsdesire]

Of course you don't. People are put on this world for way more than just breeding. How far along are you now? He's very unassuming, though he'll slay on the dancefloor. He's quiet, sweet, and kind. But he has a bit of a wicked bitchy and joker streak when he feels like it.

[americanskin]

Almost four months. It's going pretty quick. Soon, I'll need to be upgrading to maternity clothes, which is a scary thought, to say the least. Well, he shares yours and Euan's blood, the wicked streak is inevitable.
