I still love you. That is still your son. Maybe we aren't together anymore, but it's not too late for you to turn your life around and find some happiness.

*swallows hard*

I've lost a lot of things in my life. I don't want to lose you completely. Please, Joel...please. We were friends first, and we still are. I miss my friend.

Joel...you could have so much more.

I've had more, sweetheart. It's obvious that I don't know what to do with it. I don't know what the hell is ticking in my head that makes me that way but...I have a propensity for screwing up.

The important thing is that you're happy, and that our son is doing well. That's what's most important to me.

It wasn't just you. It was both of us. We were so fucked up and tired and we leaped before we looked.

I don't regret loving you. I never will. And you have a SON, Joel. Come and see him. I mean it. He needs to see you.

We did. And you deserved better, after all the shit you've been through. I love you, I was just crap at proving it.

...how is he, Caro?
