Rolled a four and it fits perfectly. Stolen Verse?

Chris is sitting in the living room looking rather shell shocked. He's still in his running gear from his after training jog.

Why, certainly.

[Will pokes his head from the kitchen, the smile on his face fading as he notices Chris' expression. He pops back inside, and then cautiously makes his way out into the living room] Hey ... is something wrong?

:D

[callhimlucky]

[ He runs a hand through his hair. ] I got a phone call today...

[nvrbelieveagain]

[Will sits, sliding an arm around Christoph's waist, holding him close] Alright. And what was it about?

[callhimlucky]

[ He leans into Will and looks up at him. ] Please, don't panic?

[nvrbelieveagain]

[Will nods slightly] Okay ...

[callhimlucky]

[ He looks at the floor. ] I have a... daughter.

[nvrbelieveagain]

[It's almost as if the breath is knocked out of him - he can't speak for a long moment] A daughter.

[callhimlucky]

Yeah...a daughter. [ He pulls away from Will just a little. ] Fuck...I'm so sorry, Will.

[nvrbelieveagain]

[Will shakes his head] I - the phone call ... is she alright?

[callhimlucky]

Yeah, she's great actually. Her...adoptive father, I guess. He's a New York City firefighter and he called to tell me that she's coming to see me. Us. I guess. If you still want it to be an us.

[nvrbelieveagain]

God, the way you said it, I thought - something awful had happened. [He doesn't move away] Why wouldn't I still want this to be an us?

[callhimlucky]

[ He looks back at Will. ] I just don't know how you feel about...kids. Fuck, I don't know how I feel about kids...

[nvrbelieveagain]

I ... love kids. I've always ... wanted kids of my own. I just - why didn't you tell me?

[callhimlucky]

Really? [ He frowns. ] What do you me 'why didn't I tell you'? I just did.

[nvrbelieveagain]

Yes, now. You told me now. Why didn't you tell me before?
