She said he's never coming home.

Who isn't, honey?

My new brother.

What? Why?

Clay said that Mummy went into the hospital to get him. But he's too small, so he's going away to live with his Mummy.

Going away to live with his mummy?

*Uhhhh... what the hell was going on here?!*

Jo, honey, where's your mummy?

Going away to live with Clay's mummy. He said that he'd like it there.

Mummy's still at the hospital.

*He furrowed his brow in thought and rubbed at his eyes*

Honey, is Clay with Mummy at the hospital?

*nods her head* Yes. He says that Mummys going to be sad for a while. Because she's going to miss him.

Mummy will miss him. *Shit, did this mean she'd lost the baby? Hell... he'd not wish that on anyone.*

*she bite her lip to stop herself from crying* Is it cause of me?

Hey... *he gently rested his hands on get shoulders* of course not, honey. Trust me.

Then why's he not going to come home?

I don't know, sweetie. Sometimes, kiddies need to go away for a little while when they're babies.

*lip wibble* Oh. But I was looking forward to baby stuff.
