[MBS] 18.3 All in the Family

[changehistory]

It's not something he can ever say aloud for fear of offending them both, and the complexity of the emotion is impossible to capture in words anyway, but part of the draw will forever be the ghost of her he sees reflecting back at him from Peter's eyes.

I never said you shouldn't protest. I think it's weird that you don't.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Whether I should or shouldn't isn't the issue. It's what I do. But God forbid I have feelings for the mother of my son, and that it all gets tangled up sometimes? I'm not perfect, but I do my damndest to keep everyone happy.

I need a facepalm icon and a flailing icon, darn it.

[youngerpetrelli]

Argh! Just argh!

*has no real appropriate icon either*

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Whatever. You heard nothing.

[notacargojet.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, all right? I'll leave him alone. I'll leave you and Ma alone. I don't care.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

You obviously do.

[notacargojet.livejournal.com]

I'll get over it.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

As will I. I always do.

[notacargojet.livejournal.com]

I don't want to fight with you.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Then don't.

[notacargojet.livejournal.com]

What do you want me to do? Give him up?

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

I don't want to talk about it.

[notacargojet.livejournal.com]

Just tell me what you want from me.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

In regard to this? Nothing. Stop talking about it. I may have to accept it, but I don't have to chat about it.

[notacargojet.livejournal.com]

Fine. But what about everything else?

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Now isn't the time, but...what do I want? I want what any father wants, Nathan. But I don't expect it.

[notacargojet.livejournal.com]

I just don't know what to do.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

I don't know what to tell you.

[notacargojet.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Don't. I can't do this right now, Nathan. It's not...I just. Can't.

[notacargojet.livejournal.com]

I'll... I'll just go, then.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry.

[notacargojet.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

I'll talk to you later.

[notacargojet.livejournal.com]

Yeah.
