nextgen_parent:

Tony, for once, was enjoying a quiet afternoon on the couch while Tasha took Eddie out to fill his head with all kinds of craziness under the guise of shopping. When they got back, Tony was gong have to spend time finding out what his wife was telling their son, and slowly explaining to him that Mommy liked to embellish certain things...unless they were compliments about Tony.

Those would be treated as gospel, Tony decided.

When the knock at the door came, Tony figured it was one of the kids coming to visit Tasha, though she usually kept them informed of her whereabouts.

Of course, the moment he opened the door, he really wished it /had/ been one of the kids.

The Andreas had discussed it and decided that it was only logical (that had been the android) and right (that had been the human) that they make Mac aware of the situation currently going on.  So the human Andrea had called him up and asked him to come over, saying that she had news.

The two could be found waiting in the lounge of the FF's living quarters.

The android was not worried, of course.  Because she had no capacity to feel worried.  But the human was very worried.  She was feeling very small and vulnerable and alone.
