"Good, good."

She takes a deep breath.

"How's the family?"

"Diving right in, huh?" He hesitates to continue considering history.

"Chris quit being an agent. He owns a loft downtown, and paints. It's not glamorous or anything, but he's making a living out of it. He's talented. I think. I don't personally understand art that well, but people seem to like what he does. "

"As for David..."

"That's good."

She's genuinely happy for Chris, but then there's the awkward subject in the room... or call.

"About that... it's why I called. If my kids are joining, they'll have to have their birth certificates copied I imagine. I need you to block out their father."

Her tone gets extra serious.

"From everyone."

There's a long pause on John's end of he line. His brow furrowed intensely.

"You still haven't told anyone who it is? Do your kids know at least?"

"I have not. I've held this from almost everyone, for sixteen years."

It's worn on her and obvious in her voice but less so than what could happen if the truth came out.

"But, yes John. My kids do know who their father is and to keep it to themselves."

He grumbles! "I'm going to regret this when I see the certificate, aren't I?"

She lets out a brief humored snort. He has no idea.

"Probably, so when I say thank you, you'll know how much it really means. Thank you, John."

He lets out a long sigh!

"Don't worry about it. We're team members after all. Or we were anyway. I don't forget things like that. Prepare for an earful if I don't like what I see, though."

"It's what I deserve really."

She comments with a dark humor, but she'll wait on the line.

"Give me a minute to go grab their files."

A short time later, John returns! Aaliyah can hear shuffling around as he sits back down and grabs the phone.

"Sorry about that, I have them right here." He starts flipping through them both, mumbling to himself as he skims a few pages of their information!

He pulls out both of their certificates at the same time so he can black out whomever the father is. He would be lying if he said he wasn't curious all these years. He was generally pretty nosy!

But that was something he didn't need to or want to know, and he realized this as soon as he glanced at the fathers name. Too late.

"Are you kidding me???" He said in a hushed tone. "Is this a joke? You're going to give me a fucking heart attack!"

Aaliyah waits patiently. But when John returns and reads the answer, she has to suppress a laugh a little bit.

"It's real. You see why I've hid this for so long now?"

John's preoccupied with his head resting on his free hand.

"I do. But considering things, why keep it a secret at this point? You should at least tell David. Shit Aaliyah, you should've told him from the beginning."

"At this point... it's been so long."

She sighs.

"I'm not going to destroy someone else's reputation to appease him. As selfish as that might sound, but you're right. David did... does deserve to know but I couldn't risk him flying off in a rage to tell everyone."

"It's been fifteen years, Aaliyah. David's...different to say the least. And I'd say you definitely influenced that."

"I know."

She's noticeably ashamed of it given her tone.

"You really think the truth would do any good for him to hear at this point? Or would it just reopen old wounds?"

Another sigh.

"Honestly, I don't even know at this point. He's completely different from how he used to be."

Aaliyah sighs heavily, that guilt.

"I'm sorry I hurt him, John. I truly am."

She couldn't say she was sorry that it happened though, because she isn't in many ways.

"Thanks John."

There's a sense of relief in her voice.

"I guess I owe you a pretty big favor now."

"You better believe it. And I'm sure I'll have a reason to collect at some point, so I won't be forgetting about this."

He smirks.

"It's good talking to you Aaliyah. You should call more. Maybe visit us sometime and see how things are going."

"Heh. I might just do that at some point, if I ever get the time to do anything but work."

She chuckles softly.

"Take care, John. I'll keep it touch."

Taner walks in and gives a salute.

"I was told to introduce myself. Taner Cross, sir."
