"Cal?" Liadan said softly, prodding Cal who had fallen asleep on one of the
couches. "Cal?"
Roused by the sound of her voice, Cal sat abruptly, "Liadan? What is it?"
"Settle down. We just wanted to borrow your car," Liadan explained.
"Huh?" Cal look confused but dug into his pockets nonetheless. Drawing out his keys he handed them to her, "Okay, but have it back soon."
"We're just running to see some of Morgan's friends," Liadan informed him.
"Ah, that'd probably be Bree and Robbie," Cal mused. "Tell her she should bring them back here, I'd like to see them myself now that the situation isn't complicated." On receiving a dubious look, he continued, "Well, less complicated at least."
Liadan laughed, "I'll tell her."
She got up to leave and Cal rolled back over, obviously intending to return to his nap.
"I got them," Liadan announced to Morgan as she reentered the room.
"Good, let's go," Morgan said, relieved to finally take action, even as she dreaded the confrontation. The disappointment would most likely be tangible when she told them of her child, but there was nothing to do but face them.
