"So do you," I tell her with a soft smile, not wanting to talk about me, "In a good way. I miss everything. Tell me what I missed."

"Yeah, you missed out," I mumble, eyes falling to the ground for a moment,"The twins were born three days ago."

"Uh-huh," I say, taking her face lightly in my hands and tilting it up again, "And why is this bad news?"

I lightly put my hands over his, forcing myself to look up,"Charlie...they weren't due for another two months,"

I nod, waiting for her to go on, to tell me that they didn't actually make it and then waiting for everything to be in ruins once again.

"One of them didn't make it Charlie," I mutter, voice wavering slightly."He was a blond."

"Aw, MJ," I try for a reassuring smile, gently tucking her hair behind her ear, not sure what to say.

"Other one barley made it, he's in this glass case with all these tubes." I mumble,"Looks just like Ian."

I have to try very very hard to keep my mouth shut about Ian, but manage on the grounds that she doesn't need it right now, "MJ..." I say softly again, not sure what I'm supposed to do.

"It's not fair Charlie," I mumble quietly,"It shouldn't be like this."

"I know, if I could do anything, anything at all to make you feel okay, then I would. But it's just one of those times when I can't, I'm sorry," I say sadly, "But I can give you a hug if you want?"

I nod weakly, hugging him."I really want him to be okay Charlie."

"He'll be okay," I mumble, hugging her, "I'm praying for you."

I let a weak sob escape my lips before burying my head into his shoulder again.

I rub her back gently, "It's okay..." I murmur softly, still hugging her.

"It's not." I mumble, my voice cracking slightly."I just wanted to be a mum Charlie, is that too much to ask for?"

"You are a mum, MJ, you are. And I know it sounds horrible, but you've still got one son who needs you, isn't that something? Isn't that just so...amazingly...incredible? That's got to count for something."

I smile weakly, brushing my eyes with my sleeve,"Yeah. It's something."

"See? There's always something," I smile weakly, thumbing a tear lightly off her cheek.
You're a fucking hypocrite Charlie. You can say all this...when you don't believe it yourself?

I smile weakly,"Still can't believe I'm a mum."

I smile weakly,"Really can't wait to bring him home, hope I don't drop him."

"Yeah, I hope so too, don't want to give him brain damage this early on. He has to learn to do that himself later," I grin weakly.
