I think I may be dying...

Stay the hell away from my baby.

[bit_awkward]

Hey, hey, hey! 'My' is such negative language, plus I already got an earful from the nanny.

[have_no_mercy]

If you're dying, then she's mine. And good. You can have our room. I'll sleep in with Mari.

[bit_awkward]

Fine! Just abandon me in my time of need! [Someones a drama queen.]

[have_no_mercy]

I'm not abandoning you, I'm merely trying to stop it from spreading.

[bit_awkward]

Well, I guess I can't fault you for that. If I die, remember me fondly. Don't tell our daughter about the time I knocked myself out while we were on holiday.

[have_no_mercy]

Oh, for-- We've been through this before. You always live.

[bit_awkward]

I don't think so...

[have_no_mercy]

Always.

[bit_awkward]

Well I did die that one time, and this feels way worse than that felt. But if you insist. I'm just saying if I do die, make sure the good moments are all she knows!

[have_no_mercy]

I will regale her with heroic stories of her brave Daddy.

[bit_awkward]

Well let's not oversell it.

[have_no_mercy]

The Mighty Gabriel and his faithful hound, Lister!

[bit_awkward]

If I knew it wouldn't get you sick I'd kiss you.

Izzy is going to kill me when I go back, I haven't worked a full week since before Christmas.

[have_no_mercy]

That's the beauty of being the boss.

[bit_awkward]

Have you met Izzy? I don't think she gets that I'm the boss.

[have_no_mercy]

Then she'd think I was the boss.

[bit_awkward]

Well you are the boss.

[have_no_mercy]

Not of your store.

[bit_awkward]

Well you're the boss of me, and I'm the boss of my store. So you're still the boss. Chain of command and all.

[have_no_mercy]

If you say so.

[bit_awkward]

I do say so. You are the boss, and I like it that way.

[have_no_mercy]

I know. [She almost goes in for a kiss but remembers last second.] It works for us.

[bit_awkward]

[He just has to laugh at her realisation before blowing her one instead.] Save it all for when I'm better.

It does work for us. On so many levels...

[have_no_mercy]

You'd better get better soon.

And that's why you're not going to die, because I say you're not.

[bit_awkward]

Well I'm close to death, so it may take a few days.

I didn't know it worked that way. Anything else you command?

[have_no_mercy]

Just get well and don't make our daughter sick.

[bit_awkward]

There you go.

I'll do my best with all the green tea and honey I've been shoving down.
