"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?"
