Angelo and Jumpy

*wraps arms around Angelo, saying nothing*

*pats hair softly asking no questions*

*whispers*
Thank you.
*holds closer*

For what?
*hugs tight*
*whispers*
Always.

*slowly nods off to sleep*
*snores lightly*

*sighs*
*lays head on head*
*falls quickly asleep*

*wakes with a start*
*glances around*
*relaxes*
*covers eyes with arm*
*sighs*

*knocks quietly on door*
Angelo, it's me, Stefan. I need to talk to you.

*gets up and opens door wearily*
What do you want?

I need a word.
Privately.

Okay..
*scratches head*
*hoarsely*
Where?

*shrugs*
Your house. You tell me.

*glances over shoulder at Jumpy*
Outside.
*ushers Stefan downstairs*

*places Dante in crib*
*lies on back and stares at the ceiling*
*sighs and rolls over*

*wakes up*
*stretches and glances around the room groggily*
*goes over to crib*
*smiles at Dante, who is sitting up*
Good morning.
*lifts Dante out of crib and sets on shoulders*
*chuckles*
*goes downstairs*

*stares into empty crib*
*grips the sides tightly*
*thinks*

*sighs*
I suppose I just wait.
*sits in rocking chair*
*closes eyes*

*walks in quietly*
*smiling and singing*

What a wonderful worldddd!

*opens eyes slowly*
*blinks at the change in lighting*
*runs fingers through hair while watching feet*
Good afternoon.

*smiles at Angelo*
Good afternoon love.
How are you?

*titters*
I've been worse.
*scratches head*
Can I talk to you, love?

*tilts head*
of course.

*stands*
*takes Jumpy's hands between own*
*hesitates*
I want a divorce, for your benefit and mine.

*tilts head even more*
What...?
Uh...no.

*brow furrows*
Jumpy, I'm not joking.

and neither am I.
I said no.
