Brotherly Advice

"Harvey Residence." The line crackled slightly when the phone was answered. Winter grinned to herself when she recognized the voice on the other end as George's.

"Hello darlin'. 'S Winter. Um...'S Elizabeth around? I was just wantin' to ask her about some baby stuff an'..." she trailed off mid-sentence kn owing she didn't really need to explain herself any further.

"Oh hey!" George coughed once and cleared his throat before speaking again. "Ah Mum's out. Bridge or something like that. I think."

"Shoot. Okay. Well can you tell her that I called? 'S not anythin' that's time sensitive. Just wonderin' about this homestretch that 'm comin' into."

"Yea I can tell her no problem." Her brother in law let out a low whistle followed by a chuckle. "Already time?"

"Nah I've still got about two an' a half months left. Just...nestin'. Gettin' stuff ready. Tryin' not to drive your brother crazy. The normal." Whether or not it was really normal, she didn't know. It sounded normal enough though."Feels like it's further away, actually."

"He'll be here before you know it, alrigh'?" The statement was soft and reassuring. "Don't make yourself sick by worrying about it."

"I won't." When George laughed and cleared his throat meaningfully, Winter sighed. "Okay I'll try not to. Creeper been talkin' to you?"

"Yes. But...he's not the only one who observes." There was a pause on the line, so long and so quiet that Winter had to make sure that the call was still connected. "He doesn't blame you, you know."

"What?" She blinked a few times and sat down at Creeper's desk.

"For what happened to him. The uh, the time thing," he told her softly. "Hey may've been mad. I think. Not really sure. I dunno if you've noticed but me brother's not always the best with talking."

"That may've caught my eye," Winter agreed with a quiet laugh. "But I don't understand--"

She was gently told to shush before George continued on. "My point is that it's easy to blame yourself about what happened to him. But...constantly doing it? It just hurts him more." He lets out a sigh, "I think that if you stop doing that...maybe he'll heal a little faster. Maybe-Maybe you both will." When he finished, he laughed almost nervously and cleared his throat once more.

Winter looked at the most recent family picture they'd taken on Jasmine's birthday. Tracing her finger over all of them, she nodded. "I'll work on it George. Promise."

"You'll do it. You're as crazy for me brother as he is for you."
