"Yeah, just about..." Orlando's smile disappeared suddenly. "What's this?" he asked, pointing to Harry's abdomen.

"Yeah, just about..." Orlando's smile disappeared suddenly. "What's this?" he asked, pointing to
Harry's abdomen.

Oops. [grin]

Oh hell. Okay, where was the part where you didn't think he'd get upset about this again?
How did that bit work exactly?

Umm, I don't think that part ever actually worked, hon. [wry smile]

"I didn't want to..." Harry winced, all of a sudden realizing just how stupid this was going to
sound, but kept going anyway, "ruin your trip."

Uh huh. [eyeroll] Great timing on the epiphany. In Harry's defense, he wasn't exactly thinking clearly when he first made the request, but there's been plenty of opportunity since he came back to himself to rectify the omission.

But then it didn't go bad, and I was okay, and when I was in recovery I asked Christian not to tell
you, and Marton said they wouldn't.

And I hope Orlando notices, here, just who was in collusion. Harry could be assumed to have still been dopy and out of it, but Dad and Big Bro don't have that excuse. And yeah, I can see their side about honoring Harry's wishes, but from Orlando's POV I would think that there was more than one person here who could've told him about all this and didn't.

"Look- I fucked up. I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to shut
you out, I just thought I was doing the right thing."

And yet another reason why I love Harry. He's a dufus at times, but he's a dufus who learns from his mistakes. :)

"Mum, Christian, Johnny, Liam..." Harry continued, then paused, his eyes going wide. "Oh! I
completely forgot! I have- there's a thing- a good thing! Can you wait while I get it?"

Wait! The bribe! I forgot the bribe!! Hang on, justasec, don't move--!! [giggle]

"It's...oh my god..." Orlando grinned up at him. "Wow...so cute, arentcha?" he whispered to the
kitten.

Yay! Orlando likes the baby!! [beam]

Kept saying referring to your brother as Uncle Christian though... that was fun.

Yeah, it was actually. [giggle] Especially since Christian doesn't seem to be a cat person, like, at all. :P

Orli took a deep breath and grinned at them. "Let's call her...Willow. How's that sound?"

Pretty name. :D

I've missed these two together! [boing!]

Orlando let Harry off too easy!!! LOL, just kidding. Glad to see Harry realized that he needed to put himself in Orlando's shoes and realize that vacation trips can always be rescheduled!

And love the kitty being named Willow (major BTVS call out)

Course Marton's reaction to the tattoo should be quite entertaining.
