Today seems like a good day to declare my divorce to Tobias Gibbon. Estella, I'm sorry your brother is an inconsiderate twat. We can still pretend to be sisters, yeah?

I'm pregnant. Surprise!

Honey, it wasn't a mistake. He didn't just trip and land in between someones legs. I know you love your brother very much, through thick and thin, and I thought I would too, but apparently thick is more like a never ending pool of quick sand and right now, I'm sinking just staying in one spot. I can divorce him and move on with my life or I can stay with him and continue to be in this lie of a marriage.

I've mostly raised Caleigh on my own, I don't think another child will be a problem.

Are you serious about this? I hope that you'll at least think this through, love.

I know I haven't been there for you like I should, but I love you. I love our life together. There's no reason we should get a divorce.

Wait...you're pregnant? I...you're...this is good news. And yet another reason why we shouldn't get divorced. Please, Mal. Just...don't do anything we'll regret.

	I've been thinking it through for months now. I should have known you were with someone else all those late night calls at the hospital. Booty calls, clearly. You don't love me, Tobias. You love you. There is no we. There is a Mafalda Hopkirk and a Tobias Gibbon. No us. No we. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

No, I really was working late a lot. You know winter is a crap season for healers. Yes, I was having an affair, but I ended it. I had a moment of weakness and he...it was stupid of me. There's something wrong with me but I'm fixing it. When you got sick, and I thought I might lose you, I realised you mean more to me than he ever would.

It was wrong and I know that. I wish I'd never done that, but I can't change what I've done. I can only promise you I'll never do it again and I'll never love anyone as much as you and our child...our children.

I'm going to be a better man, Mal. You just need to give me a chance. Please.

	He? He who? Tobias, did you fucking cheat on me with a man? ~~I swear to Merlin, I'm going to jump off a bloody building~~ You are a complete disgrace. Here I was, stupid and marrying you because I thought we were in love. ~~Next time, I swear to god I'm only marrying for the money.~~ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I told you, Mal, it was a mistake. I was stupid. If it had been a woman, it never would have happened! Because I love you and this isn't about me being dissatisfied with our marriage. I really do love you more than anyone else. I just...I don't know what's wrong with me. I never meant to hurt you, Mal.

I know that. I know I am. But I do love you. I've loved you since the moment Estella introduced us. You're the most amazing woman I've ever known, and I don't want anything else except for you to at least consider forgiving me, even though I know I don't deserve it.

No, Tobias. This is the most unforgivable thing you could ever do to me. Couldn't you kill someone and lie about it? Marriage is forever. You don't go around having sex with other people when you get bored. I'm sorry I'm lacking a penis, I guess. Maybe then you would have cared about me more. And our daughter, Tobias. Do you even care what happens to her? She's going to grow up without a father, now. All because of you being selfish. You could have done anything but this and I would have forgiven you.
