Just goes to show that her standards for Good Husband are set relatively low.
Pshaw!
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec, is there anything we can do for you tomorrow or Sunday?
She's already bored and misses Natter. They want at least 24 hours with no bleeding and all the other tests lined up nicely before they'll turn her loose. She's still spotting a bit, so I think that she won't get out until Sunday. It might be nice to have some visitors on Sunday. We could do that Slings and Arrows marathon and just hang out. Depends on when she's released though.
Also, is JZ allowed phone calls (in the AM, not now), and does she have her cell with her?
She does have her cell, and I think she would welcome a call after mid-morning. Be warned, she may make you look up the movie listings on TNT tomorrow since she's chafing under the non-TiVo basic cable options. We watched The Mummy (Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisze edition) tonight. Every time the nurse walked in there was a great deal of howling going on. JZ found it diverting.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'll set aside Sunday for coming to visit you all then, and come see you if it works for you. I'll also give her a call or two tomorrow, and have the TNT listings handy.

Always Anti-fascist!
My father? Didn't come home. It was midnight madness at the shirt store. (this came up again because it was my brother's birthday and his way into the world was a hemorrhage.)
- My* standards for a good husband are low.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yes. Boy cow with udders. It's very wrong.
Polter-Cow is a boy cow with udders! His name is Thunder.
Standing on her bed was a cow. Julie, older, could take in more details and, had she seen the cow in Danny’s closet or in his picture, she would have recognized them as one and the same. The cow was black-and-white, and it was male. So, technically, it was a bull, but the human mind being so ignorant of taxonomic biology, Julie, along with the rest of the world, continued to think of this adversary as a cow. Funny, humans are. That was all her subconscious could take in before she screamed and the cow, or bull, rather, vanished.
And, for kicks, in the revision:
The cow was black-and-white, but it had no udder. So, technically, it was a very strangely colored bull, but humans don’t pay attention to taxonomic biology. Regardless of its gender, the thing was a cow. And it looked just like the cow in the picture and the cow in the closet and absolutely nothing like the cow grazing in the field. Seconds later (4.2 seconds, to be exact), the cow, or to be more precise, the bull, vanished.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
We could do that Slings and Arrows marathon and just hang out. Depends on when she's released though.
Oooooh - could I come, too? Depending on things, of course?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

JZ and David:
thinking very, very good thoughts for you and the Halloweenie. Having BTDT with regard to the bleeding and the unexpected hospital stay, I know how scary it can be. It's great that you're already at 28 weeks, though, and I hope you can get back to an uneventful pregnancy soon.

We still have lots of pie. In fact, we will probably still have lots of pie for days and days and days.
Hey, maybe Hec and JZ like pie...

What is even happening?
I was thinking of the wrong Dr. Cox. The one that looks like JZ. Imagine my surprise, Cindy.
Hee! That puts a whole new face on things.Ha! No, I only meant the Dr. Cox from Scrubs.
Besides, accept no JZ substitutes.
At one point, a doctor was telling her that she wouldn't get to eat until midnight. As the last thing she'd eaten was breakfast at 7am, this almost made her cry. Fortunately, they turned over the 7pm bloodwork more quickly and the spanikopita I had waiting for her little Greek self was consumed promptly at 8:30.
Oh, the poor thing. This is awful. It's hard enough to not eat all day. It's so much harder when you're pregnant. Your blood sugar is more reactionary, and just oooof. I'm so glad she didn't have to go until after midnight.
David, I hope there's been no news overnight, and that this morning's news will be reports of no spotting at all. I'm glad they're being so cautious with her.
