"So, how about we play a game?" Killan suggested. When he received a collectively odd stare, he continued, "Well this is taking forever!"
"Sorry that this is inconveniencing you!" Morgan said, sarcastically.
"Uh – that isn't what I meant," Killan replied.
"Settle down, children," Ciaran said from his seat on the other side of the room.
"You know, I really thought that this would be faster. Seeing as the baby was in such a rush to be born and all," Bree mused.
Robbie nodded, "I have to agree."
Hunter stood up and walked over to Cal, who was shaking out the rugs on the porch, "Cal, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Cal snapped.
"Then why are you killing that rug?" He asked as he watched Cal shake so hard, strings were snapping off.
"I'm not killing it, I'm cleaning it," Cal corrected.
"Look, I know that this is stressful – " Hunter started.
"I'm not stressed," Cal replied, flapping the rug even harder. "I just thought since I have nothing else to do, I should clean. Ever since we got rid of the housekeeper this place has been getting messy."
Hunter sighed, "Yeah, whatever you say."
Cal stopped shaking the rug and looked over at him cautiously, "So, how is she? Morgan, I mean."
Hunter was relieved he'd finally said something that wasn't nonsense, "As well as can be expected. It should be over soon."
"That's good," Cal said, letting out the air he'd been holding.
"So do you want to tell me the real reason you're freaking out," Hunter said.
Cal snorted, "I don't particularly want to talk to you about anything, but I guess I have no choice. You probably won't go away otherwise."
Hunter nodded, "That's probably true. I am annoyingly persistent."
"The thing is," Cal paused and looked down, "The thing is, that if something happens to her, it's going to be my fault."
Hunter nodded, "Yeah, that is true."
"You didn't have to agree so readily!" Cal said, annoyed. "But, I wouldn't have believed you if you disagreed. What if all of this is because of the spells that were used to bring me back? And on top of that those fertility spells? I mean, we all know that this pregnancy has been - abnormal."
"Interesting choice of words," Hunter replied, sarcastically.
"Stop joking around!" Cal shouted.
"Sorry, continue," Hunter said.
"So, if Morgan dies – "
"Woah, who said anything about dying?" Hunter said, jumping up.
"It happens," Cal replied.
"Well it's not going to happen here," Hunter replied vehemently.
"Now who's in denial," Cal replied, turning back to the rug. "You need to work out your own issues before you try and help with mine.
