I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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

Oh, touching!

Lee, it's time you step up and do your own dirty, fun work.

I will sometimes stop during my day because I can hear her laughing at me from 300 miles away.

Hey, how are you and her?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Lee, it's time you step up and do your own dirty, fun work.

If I have to.

Mebbe I should get my resume in order first though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Crap. I drank too much wine. Now I can't go to bed right away, but I really really need to. Ugh.

Is it bad that I want to make an itemized list, including conception charges, meds, prenatal care and now this to trot out when Noah asks me to buy him a car or some other such?

Heh. The first item in my baby book is the bill from the hospital, showing all charges covered by insurance, with the notation "Born free!"

Heh.

I was comped, myself, due to damage. My mother only managed to bargain them down to half price on little sis, due to the same forceps scar.

Suddenly I'm suspicious of my bargain-loving mother.

Our wings are not tired.

A family member raised a son that became a very successful attorney. When his firm accidentally sent dad a bill for services rendered, he in turn sent his son a bill for room, board, education, etc. The son paid the bill. They had a most unhealthy relationship.

Me, I always tell the boys that I didn't pay the last payment to the hospital and they are at risk of repossession.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Did your family member write The Bill From My Father?!

The bill from your mother, if issued, will always be higher.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I found the hospital bill from my dad's birth in an old family bible. I think it was around $60.

Ha. No, but another book could have been written about these two. I often wanted to slap them both.

Gilmore Girls is making me sniffly.
