Everything is shit. But Thomas did that thing he does where he's utterly logical and makes people feel quite silly because they didn't see the logic even though it was right there staring them in the face. He did it to Aly, but even I read it and went 'Oh...right...'. Things will be okay, I just have to...talk and make them okay and I'm terrified. I think you're needed where you are though. How's Fiona?
I'd give you a lecture on safe sex, but somehow I think you'd kill me. And this situation maybe isn't the off-colour Liz humour situation.
I love that Thomas thing. He's very good at that. I'm glad he was there, Peter. And Mary too. They really do make a good team. And Peter, things will be okay. Aly just needs to know she's important. That you value that family over everything else. She understands when you need to go do your demon rehabilitation thing. She'll understand this, it's just a weirder situation. And I just realised I'm going to be the aunt of a demon. Okay then.
Fiona is better than I thought she'd be. I think mostly she's feeling the relief of someone who has spent her entire young life taking care of their parent and she realises she doesn't have to now. There's guilt that comes along with that, but she'll be okay. She knows she has a place to stay so she's free to work through everything else.
You know...Katherine TOLD me she was on the pill, but she'd stopped taking it. She knew a baby would keep me there because she could feel me slipping away. Ironic, isn't it, that the baby is the reason I wanted to go back and help make the world safer. Not a smart move. Aly and I were trying for children because we are impulsive and silly but it worked out alright in the end (oh I hope) and Svetlana is mean. So you can save your lecture, I get it. But believe you me, my poor children are going to get earfuls. Oh god, Liz. I'm going to have six children. How...the...fuck? Remember this time last year when I had one?
I hope she understands it.
I'm glad Fiona is alright. Rosa is too, incidently. We've chatted, but all she sees is that she saved someone she loves.
Well Katherine and Svetlana are dirty whores. There. I said it. And yes, I remember this time last year, Peter. You know...when you had one child and she was the only thing that made you happy and otherwise you were a completely miserable bastard? I know it seems overwhelming, but you already have about 20 kids if you really think about it. And you're a fantastic father to them. This will be alright. And...hopefully Svetlana will fuck off and you can raise this child as your own as well. If she doesn't...well we'll figure out something.
Rosa did save someone she loves. She saved someone we all love. But teaching her how to...I don't know...knock someone out might be a good idea.
Katherine's okay now. She's...better anyway. Not on drugs or taking my children away. Always a good sign. And I know. I know I have all the people who see me that way and I love it. It's just a bit...overwhelming. I'm completely overwhelmed and I can't do the thing I do to get myself...underwhelmed.
Good signs are great, Peter. I'll still never like her. She hurt my baby brother. A lot. And no you cannot do that thing. What you can do is drink some tea and spend time with your kids and remember how much you love being a father. That will make it seem less overwhelming.
She did. But I learned a lot from her too. And not just how to have sex in public places. But I learned you can't just trust everyone. And while I still probably trust too easily...take a look at my relationships before Aly...I learned from that too. Things were different with Aly from the beginning because I was careful not to rush in or do something...well..stupid. Also, she wasn't evil. That always helps. And that is a fantastic idea, Liz. They're at Aly's parents house though. I have to wait til they get home. David decided to go all...commando and Aly had to go over there and try to diffuse the situation.
Aly is not evil! That's one of the things I love most about her! And how happy she makes you, of course. I'm glad for what you learned from Katherine. And I'm glad for Lyddie! I just wish sometimes that things could have been different for you. It's not easy watching one of the people you love most in the world be completely miserable for...ever.
I know I wasn't easy to watch. Or hear about. That's why I didn't ring you all the time. I didn't think you needed to hear, 'Still miserable. Yep...okay...bye.' But...life is what life is.
Yes. He ran off to Brazil because I had a dream that the person that stole Mary from him was there. I should have kept my fucking mouth shut. He said he was doing it so I didn't have to worry, but I'm worried about HIM. He's going to get himself killed because he's too damn reckless and I want to go find him but if I left Aly right now...she'd have every right to leave me too.
I'm assuming if he was in danger, I'd dream that too. I'm just hoping he finds nothing and comes home.
He's going to lose his job if he's not careful. They understood the whole...'hey I was abducted' thing. And he'd arranged for a guest lecturer. I don't think he did so this time.

Jesus. I'm sorry, Peter. Is there any way you can know what's happening?

Oh dear. That's no good. He has a child on the way, he shouldn't be gambling with his job like that.
