In response to this.

He looked down at the note again, shaking his head.

Goodbye, Nicky.

Two words. No explanation, no final words between them... he thought things were going right. Apparently he'd been very wrong.

Goodbye, Nicky.God, who the fuck do you call when you wife walks out without a word? When she leaves you a note with two ( Read more... )

Henry only barely missed the phone as it clicked to message, his three quarters asleep hand reaching around the bedside table. He groaned as it stopped and then muttered a curse - who in the WORLD calls at 4am.

Was it important?

He picked up the phone and got the answerphone message.

"Shit" he really did say it out loud this time.

He phoned Nicky back, but it would probably best to go around there.

He waited for him to pick up.

He answered the phone with a dry laugh.

"Hello?"

"Nicholas?" he said softly, his voice tinged with sleep. "Are you okay?" he knew it was a more than stupid question but he needed him to talk.

"Dad," he said, his voice relieved. "I'm... Anne left." And because it was his father on the phone, and because he was tired and lonely and... just everything, he let out the sob that he'd somehow managed to hold back this long. "There was no reason... we haven't fought, everything was going well... and she just left a note. Just a note with 'Goodbye, Nicky' on it and..." he stopped, his voice breaking from the tears. He couldn't even go on.

Rogue called back the moment she heard the message. She set down the kitten, her fingers trembling as she punched Nicky's number in.

She waited patiently for him to pick up. And if he didn't... Hell, she'd maybe consider flying to London and finding him.

He picked up the phone, shaking his head a little. "Please be Rogue," he said into the mouthpiece as he brought it to his ear.

"I'll be anyone you want me to be, sugar, but that particular request is easy." She sucked in a breath. "Tell me everythin'."

"Be the best friend who talks some fucking sense into me?" he said quietly.

He let out a long slow sigh. "She left, Rogue. Everything was fine, and then she left. For no reason I can fathom... It just doesn't make SENSE, Roguey. She scrawled a two word note and took off? We just got married... she's pregnant... Why would she do this?"

He dashed the tears that were falling away. This wasn't the time to cry. This was the time to figure out what the FUCK had happened to his marriage. If anyone could keep him sane and focused on the matter at hand, it was Rogue.
