"No it wasn't bad hun." she says with a smile before leaning forward and kissing him on the lips lightly.

I kiss her back briefly, automatically, but then shake my head again. "No... I think it might've been a bad idea if I'm still not totally certain that you're in your right mind."

"Fitzy. I'm okay. Trust me please?" she asks frowning slightly before kissing his cheek again.

"Trust you...." I laugh slightly. Not that I have any reason to distrust her specifically, but... those just really aren't the best words to say to me. I honestly can't take them seriously.

Shell sighs and looks at her hands. "Really that funny Fitzy?" she asks before biting her lip and looking at her hands. "I really want to slap you, but I don't think I should."

"Well, it's nothing personal," I shrug. "I just have a problem with the word 'trust.' It... amuses me, probably for reasons that it really shouldn't."

She sighs lightly before still biting her lip. "Question. It's really random but I'm gonna ask anyway. Do you ever thought of the idea of marriage? Like actually being married and having a wife maybe more children?"

I almost have to wonder if she's trying to make me laugh now. Or at least produce the choking sound that a question like that warrants before I can get a hold of myself.
"Ah... no," I say eventually. "Somehow, I've never really thought about that."
Honestly, I've very rarely thought into the future at all. I don't make plans and hardly ever have dreams. But even if I did, I really don't think they would involve anything like that.

"Really? Not even once?" she asks almost hinting at the idea of the two of them married or having a child together. It didn't seem that bad of an idea when she thought of it, but then again... maybe she was going crazy.

"Well, certainly never that I recall." I shrug slightly. "The only sort of plans, dreams, or thoughts about the future I've ever really had have involved laying low, surviving, and preferably being a decent human being as long as it doesn't conflict with either of the first two. Marriage and kids... not so much."

"Even with me?" she asks looking at him with a frown on her face. She took his hand into hers and squeezed it slightly as if that would really change his answer about marriage.

I must be really dense, or possibly just really tired, not to have realized (except just vaguely) that this is what she was hinting at.
"Well... no," I shrug, not meeting her eyes. "If you want an honest answer that's it."

Shell nods, giving him a weak smile before dropping his hand and lacing hers together. "It's fine. Just what did you think we end up as? Friends that care if the other died?"

"I... don't know." I shrug slightly, clenching my hands a bit for no particular reason. "I mean, like I said... I don't really think more than a day or two into the future most of the time, if that."

Shell nods look down at her folded hands before feeling a tear slide down her cheek. "Well maybe you should start thinking of future things. Like Melody's future for school, maybe getting some decent furniture... what do you do for a job anyway..." she asks softly. Shell would honestly be surprised if he heard her just now but she couldn't help it.

I raise my eyebrows at her when she looks down, barely even hearing what she's saying but not really bothered by that because I suspect she might be crying... and honestly my first reaction is to sigh.
"Look, it's nothing personal, Shell. Okay? I just don't think ahead. Maybe I'll try it and get back to you."

She nods before glancing over at him and leaning her head against the back of the couch. "So, what now?" Shell asks before feeling a few more tears fall from her aquamarine eyes.

I shrug a little, mystified. "You tell me, I guess. Why are you here again, anyway?"

"Well I really just want to know what you thought of us... but you said you don't think of the future. So nothing now I guess." she says still as softly before giving a faint shrug of her shoulders.

"Hm...." I eye her for a minute, then shake my head with another sigh. "I'm sorry, Shell, honestly."

"It's fine." she says looking over at him again before leaning forward and kissing him on the lips lightly for a second. "Is Melody alright now? Everything okay with her?"

Post by Fitzy Patricks on Dec 16, 2008 4:41:59 GMT
I don't kiss her back this time, just nodding because honestly I guess I'm not really sure what's going on with us.
"Melody's fine, as far as I can tell." I shrug slightly. "Unless of course it's possible for an infant to be depressed?"

Another blow to the heart... thanks Fitzy.
"What do you mean depressed? Is she eating, playing with whatever kind of toy, smiling as usual and staring at ceilings still?" she asks giving him a light smile from her last comment.

Post by Fitzy Patricks on Dec 16, 2008 4:54:37 GMT
I shrug again slightly, eying the ceiling myself to try and give the most complete answer.
"Eating, yes; sleeping, yes, although you didn't ask; she's not really interested in toys because she really does seem to prefer the ceiling, but smiling... not as much as she did." I shrug again a little uncomfortably. "Call me insane if you like, but I swear she knows I abandoned her."

Shell glances over at him again and frowns a bit. "Well Fitzy, it's not like she doesn't have a mind of her own. She might possibly know hun." she tells him the truth. She for some reason remembered when Jenny got so rebellious when she left her with Logan for a couple of years. Shell couldn't think how a couple weeks or however much time Melody was gone.

"She's only about a year old," I argue, shaking my head, even though I'm the one who suggested it. "She can't even think yet."

"She can. She knows certain shapes, colors, sounds. She knows that you're her father. She can sense emotions and when people are nervous with her. That's why babies cry, or one of the reasons really. And she can think and feel for herself, so it's possible that she could feel abandoned..." she says with a nod before letting out a sigh.

"And you know all this how?" I ask, pretty sure she must be making it up. Creatures that small can't think.

"Do I really have to answer that question?" she asks raising her eyebrows at him with a smile crawling onto her face as she looked over at him.

"Might be helpful, yes," I nod, before remembering. "... Oh. Right. Are you saying you can read her mind then?" I ask suspiciously.
