aussielawyerWho: Mark Campbell, Justin Campbell and later Ali Sullivan
What: That awkward moment where your wife gets your ex to babysit you
Where: Mark, Gen and Justin's apartment
When: After THIS and THIS
Despite his verbal protests and sheer vehement determination not to be, Mark felt rough. There was some thing or another that was going down at Gen's work, so she had to leave for a short while. He thought this would be a good opening to get to the pile of work that had been growing over the last couple of weeks with his focus entirely on Justin. Although, after the night at the bar, there was also a renewed sense that he wanted to sink more focus into his relationship so Gen didn't feel like she was being shoved to the side. She wasn't. In fact, even if he wouldn't admit it, he was a bit lost when he realised she wasn't going to be there. That was probably the biggest red flag to the fact he was sick. That, and the fact there mere thought of sex made the nausea worse. Just because he didn't want to be sick, didn't mean he wasn't.
That had been his theory, but he was sitting there on the edge of the bath in the bathroom trying to decide if he trusted himself to move too much. He had his cell phone in his hand, which was how he had succeeded in carrying on a conversation with Gen, where she put her foot down that he was only allowed to be in bed or the bathroom. He was actually attempting to wait for the moment he was sure would come that the sick feeling abated and he could get to his own work. It wasn't, though, and that was when Justin's concerned message came that lead to Mark telling him to come see him. In hindsight, that might not have been the best idea because he was looking exactly how he felt. It was just priority that he reassure his kid when he was worried. Especially when he was worried it was his fault Mark was sick.
