father's day, of course

[harriedosborn]

Don't. Say. Anything.

I'm obviously not celebrating. It's kind of hard with one infant son and one that I barely get to see, and--

Well, the rest is obvious.

Yeah, that guy has a real talent for ruining Fathers Day.

[harriedosborn]

That's not the only thing he's good at ruining.

[bedeviledspider]

You don't have to tell me twice.

[harriedosborn]

Why would I do that? He needs his own survivors support group.

[bedeviledspider]

You know, that's not a bad idea.

[menaced]

[Oh, Harry. She really wishes she could be there for you...but then Stanley would be in danger.]

[harriedosborn]

[ At least Norman is in a coma now? ... ]

[menaced]

[For the heck of the sweetness and the necessity that is love that is needed in Harry's life, here is Lily in the flesh, in sweats (because you don't get dressy when you're running from your enemies) and cradling Stanley in her arms.]

You are a wonderful father, Harry.

[harriedosborn]

[ He smiles, walking over to her. ]

It's a miracle, huh?

[menaced]

A miracle. A magnificent occurrence...

[Once Harry is near, she stands right next to him, moving her arms so that Stanley can see his daddy.] He's proof of that.

[impersassination]

No visits to dear old dad?

[harriedosborn]

Not this year.

[impersassination]

Optimistic for the next?

[harriedosborn]

No. Not this year, or any year after it. Ever.

[impersassination]

[ he knows that feel ]

Nasty piece of work, isn't he?

[originalbeachboy]

Yeah, yeah. Just because it's bad don't mean you can't celebrate.

[By which he means mope, of course.]

[harriedosborn]

Well... I'm not really supposed to be drinking.

[ Moping is the only way to celebrate sometimes. ]

[originalbeachboy]

Don't mind me making up for you slacking off. But when has doing what you're supposed to ever work out for anyone, anyway?

[He should know, what with all the stuff he was supposed to be doing that he did. Oh wait, no, he's always breaking the law instead.]

[harriedosborn]

Be my guest. If I did what I was supposed to a little bit more often, I think my life wouldn't be such a mess right now.

[originalbeachboy]

Yeah? Depends on who was saying what you're supposed to do, don't it?

i have so many tags I DON'T EVEN CARE

[incywincyhero]

You were a good dad, you know. And maybe things weren't so great for a while, but you're getting back on your feet, now, and I know you'll be there for Stanley and Normie both.

aw yessss

[harriedosborn]

I'm trying. This is the sort of second chance most people never get. I really need to do things right this time.

[incywincyhero]

You will. Anyway, you know me and Flash and MJ will help out. Well, I don't know about Flash, he's kind of got his own drama going on, but he'll try. We're all here for you, is what I'm saying.

[harriedosborn]

Thanks, Pete. I think I need to try and get a handle on this stuff by myself for a while. At least until my head's back on straight again. Like for good.

[incywincyhero]

Well, I'll just brush up on my pom-pom routines and baton twirl, then.
