...so..

[nat-davis]

Well I mean like…my aunt and her lot and that’s my uncle too. My mom married her sister’s husband’s brother.

[professor-ian-blog]

Ah, yes... you aunt. I remember her.

[nat-davis]

...so..

[nat-davis]

Just…I dunno. I’m excited though. It’s gonna be..nice having my whole family there with us.

[professor-ian-blog]

Your /whole/ family? You mean… your extended family too?

[nat-davis]

...so..

…it’s kind of a tradition in my family to…all go get a tree for my parents house together. Do-….do you wanna come?

[professor-ian-blog]

[Smiles gently] I’d love to.

[nat-davis]

…really?

[professor-ian-blog]

…Why so surprised?

That’s /not/ what I said and that’s /not/ what I’m going to do.

[nat-davis]

So why don’t you just say what you mean Ian. Say it just flat out. Please.

[professor-ian-blog]

All I’m saying is that I don’t want you to keep things from me anymore. When you were hurting…

[professor-ian-blog]

[Hugs her back tightly] …I don’t want to lose you Natalia.

[nat-davis]

You’re not going to.

[professor-ian-blog]

Then why does it feel like you’re pushing me away sometimes?

[nat-davis]

….-soft- It’s just my nature.

[professor-ian-blog]

[Cups her cheeks] …It’s me Natalia. You don’t need to push me away. You don’t need to protect yourself from me.

[nat-davis]

-nods and leans up to kiss him curling into him-

[professor-ian-blog]

[Returns the kiss, soft and loving]

[professor-ian-blog]

[professor-ian-blog]

All I'm saying is that I don't want you to keep things from me anymore. When you were hurting because you and Gabrielle were fighting you shut me out and now it feels like you're doing again. I love you Natalia and I just... I want to make this work.

[professor-ian-blog]

So every time something happens and I think you’ll do something rash I should just keep it from you?

[nat-davis]

[sighs and moves to turn the knob] Yeah, I get it Ian. I’m a bitch and I’m a silly girl keeping secrets and to prove a point you’re gonna start doing it now.

[professor-ian-blog]

That's /not/ what I said and that's /not/ what I'm going to do.

[professor-ian-blog]

[professor-ian-blog]

[Soft] …I’m sorry for yelling. I shouldn’t have.

[nat-davis]

Yeah. And?

[professor-ian-blog]

…Please don’t go.

[nat-davis]

/And/?

[professor-ian-blog]

…Natalia I don’t think you’d ever take the bribe. I know that. But… why would you keep things from me? Are we keeping secrets now?

[nat-davis]

If you didn’t think I’d take it you’d have never have mentioned it. So somewhere inside of you feels that way. And I kept it from you cause I knew this is how you’d react.

[professor-ian-blog]

That’s not why. Don’t you see? I wouldn’t have reached that way if you’d just… told me. We’re in a relationship Natalia. We live together. Why… why are you keeping things from me? I love you and it… I just wish you wouldn’t keep things from me.

[nat-davis]

If I’d told you right away you’d have gone after him. I didn’t want that. It could have gotten you deported.
