_{hah, you witty thing. lets do both, how long do you have?}

[declan collison]

_{as long as you need.}

[ida cross]

_{i need forever, it's too long baby!}

[declan collison]

_{you do wonders for my ego, have i told you that?}

[ida cross]

_{it's really intentional, there's nothing sexier than confidence.}

[declan collison]

_{well, then, i guess i'm the sexiest man in the city. or the planet. either or works. but if i'm this irresistible, remind me again why you won't divorce your husband?}

[ida cross]

_{planet. i just wrote a whole list, reread it. so, yesterday i started having a panic attack because i realized i was a big cheating whore. i wanted to slit my wrists and everything! and he asked what was the matter, which only made matters worse. it was bad, i couldn't breathe.}

[declan collison]

_{if you just left him, you wouldn't feel so bad. you'd just be my wife instead of a cheater.}

[ida cross]

_{.. i can't, that'd be so mean. you know how they say 'marry your best friend' well, i did. and now we're having a baby.. well, it's not official yet, so don't freak out or anything.}

[declan collison]

_{what the fuck, ida? don't bullshit me.}

[ida cross]

_{i thought about both sides, the yes and the no part when he asked me. and the yes won. because the only no i can think of is you. and he'd be such a good dad, don't you think? if i suck i can always hire a nanny, but i don't think i will because pongo loves me.}

[declan collison]

_{you know what? i could tell him.}

[ida cross]

_{don't be an asshole. that would get you nowhere.}

[declan collison]

_{i'm not playing second fucking fiddle, ida.}

[ida cross]

_{not asking you to!}
