Hey uh. We ain't talked in awhile but this is-- this is Red. I know it's been awhile an' all but just wanted you to know I've been in jail. Got in trouble with Dinah an'-- yeah. Got thrown in for a couple of months. Didn't have enough money to call. Thought I might head your way so, just call me back at this number. Later, doll.
lolo
lolo, red is out of JAIL
molly
oh fuck
did he contact you?
lolo
he lef t a voicemail last night! i didn't get the call since we were all asleep.
he said he's swinging by! lolo he got me PREGNANT
what if he wants lily???
molly
if he wants lily he can catch these hands and all the magic i've fucking got in my whole body, i don't give a shit. and he can't prove that's his kid anyways. he doesn't know.
lolo
he's not smart but he's not that not smart
dammit i mean HE'D KNOW
molly
he'd know it's an option. but he has no proof you didn't sleep with someone else.
lolo
okay that's true. but what am i going to say? i don't want to lie but you've met him. he's not ready to be a dad and i don't want him to be her dad now
i don't care if it's selfish. he's not mature or stable enough.
molly
maybe it's selfish, but it doesn't make you wrong. he sure as hell isn't ready for this. if he asks, you tell him, but make it clear that you intend and want to raise her on your own. that you're not asking for child support, or for him to step up to be lily's dad, and you never had those expectations.
lolo
ok. ok thank you so much
...bodhi's going to be home. fuck.
GRYFFIN is gonna be home
molly
ask gryffin to keep bodhi company upstairs. talk to red outside if you have to. shit, i can come over for back up and support if you want.
lolo
what would i do without you? please, please come over.
molly
still kick ass and take names just like always. you want me looking like the version he already met, or the stubbly one for visual intimidation factor?
lolo
stubbly you. should jude come, too? god red's never been an asshole but idk anymore
molly
can do. i'll ask him, just give me a minute. better safe than sorry is what they say.
lolo
love you lolo so so much
molly
red? are you at this number?
it's molly
molly
hey doll. got the message?
red
yeah i did. didn't know that you were in jail.
molly
i've been in the cooler b4. not a big deal. you still in north beach?
red
that's not GOOD but not surprising
yeah i am. where are you now?
molly

red

i have someone over.
molly

red

|
just another string of texts from the dear old family!
|
the cryptkeeper didn't wake up, did she?
|
her sister. the one who helpfully--she's the one who let me know that she knew what was going on with-- with everything. turns out she knew for years what karen did.
|
... what a bitch. does she know i'm here now?
|
she wanted to come see both of you. i told her no. she doesn't get to just-- pretend that she had nothing to do with keeping you away from me.
|
seriously? she should be GROVELING.
|
she even knows better than to even ask me and she still did. trying to bait me saying that she wanted to talk. she doesn't even deserve to say your name. |
talk about what?! what could she have to say that she didn't say for- for twelve years?
|
fuck if i know. i don't care about anything she has to say at this point. neither should you-- it's going to just be self absorbed lies. |
alright, ma. love you.
|
love you too. so, so much. |
