AN: This is my take on the interactions between Nathan and Mag shortly afer Marni's death. I decided that since I tend to be rather verbose, I would see if I could get the emotions across using only diologue. I'd love feedback on how that went. Enjoy!
Aftermath
"Nathan! How did you get in here? I have a show tonight; I have to be on in ten minutes.'
"Mag…"
"Is something wrong? Is Marni ok?"
"Mag. I…I…"
"What happened? Nate?"
"She went into labor. Prematurely. I tried…oh god, Mag, I tried to help her, but there was nothing I could do."
"Is she alright? And Shilo, did you manage-"
"No. I couldn't save anyone."
"Oh. Oh Nate, I'm so sorry. But you have to know, it's not your fault. If even you couldn't save her…Anyway, I'll cancel the show. Rotti will understand. You shouldn't be alone at a time like this."
"No, please don't. Marni would want you to sing."
"Well all right, if you're sure. But afterwards, I'm coming to your house right away."
"I think it would be better if you didn't. I need some time alone; to come to terms with what happened. I'll call you.'
"I understand. But we need to stick together – be there for each other. Promise me you won't just lock yourself in your house and stop living."
"Nonsense, why would I do that?"
