After a the hectic pace of the last few weeks, Isabel was grateful for some downtime, even if it meant she had too much time to think about fun with the kids and saying goodbye.

But things were slowly returning to normal. She'd covered library, had breakfast with Cedric, spent time with friends, and fulfilled StuCo responsibilities. Looking at the two packages sitting on her desk, Isabel realized that some things had slipped through the cracks. She made two phone calls then settled down to do some studying.

"Or even if I am you'll get me the best divorce lawyer ever?" she asked with a very weak laugh.

"Got that right," Parker said with a grim smile. "Or an intergalactic tribunal to hang the sonuvabitch." She took a breath, managed to keep her voice level. "It's faded, though. Is it not permanent ink, or something?"

"It was permanent. He laced it with traces of the one material we can't manipulate," Isabel explained as her hand unconsciously rubbed at her shoulder. "The Captain saw it when I was in Cardiff. He gave me a piece of alien tech that could get rid of it over time. Jack's been helping me. It should be completely gone soon."

Parker ground her teeth a little, then said, "And an extra settlement for cosmetic enhancements, and hell, let's see if we can't get 'asshole' tattoo'd to his forehead while we're at it." She smirked. "Not that it wouldn't be obvious looking at him." She sighed. "I'm glad Captain Jack could help you out. God, you got lucky coming through rift."

She sighed, "The scary thing is? If you saw him in a club? You'd probably think he was good looking. He's been playing with the DNA so he looks mostly human."

Isabel tipped her head back and closed her eyes. "I did. Sometimes I think about what could have happened, if I hadn't come back. I'd still be there. Miserable."

Parker reached out, and patted Isabel's leg, not unlike Annie, trying to comfort her. "But you're not." She didn't mention Isabel not going back again. That was something to address in August, hopefully. To Max. With extreme prejudice. "And as for Kivar, well. I've known a lot of good-looking bastards in my time. We'll just put him on the list to be terminated at first sight."

"No, I'm not," she admitted. "There at least. The miserable comes and goes. But lately it's mostly been gone. So that's good. It makes things easier. And I'd rather be happy right now. Enjoy the time we've got left you know?"

"Yes," Parker said quietly. "For all of the time we've got left."

"I'm not sure I'm going to handle good-byes well," Isabel said sadly. "Especially after meeting Alexandria."

"It does make it harder. Thinking about what won't happen, now." Parker made a face. "But! You are going to visit me in England. And I'm probably going to be here for 4th of July. An in between there's going to be a lot of phoning and e-mailng, and--" Jack would be too far away for either. God, what a depressing thought. "We'll figure it out."

"But it's not that really. Because he and I? That's just not gonna happen. It's more, in that reality he left to go to the Time Agency and that was it. They never heard from him again," she said, swallowing hard. "And nothing has happened to make me think it'll be any different when he leaves us. You leaving will suck. But at least I know I can pick up the phone."

Parker looked away, and carefully said, "He kept in touch with Sophia, after he went back to the Time Agency. But..." Without a kid to hold him to them, he might never contact them again. "There's always Captain Jack. He can get a hold of Jack if we need to, or at least confirm that he's okay. I am not settling for not even postcards." Parker set her jaw. "And I'm telling him so, the next time I see him."

"I don't think he'd just walk away. But be kept away? I don't trust the Time Agency," Isabel sighed. "But yeah, maybe through Captain Jack. God I actually can see what Michael talked about all those years. Maybe it's better not to care about people. It'll hurt less."

[going out and about with kidlets. Back later.]

"Okay, me neither. But Michael's wrong." Even though Parker had been feeling like that a lot, lately. "Although it you figure out the trick of it, let me know."

[byee!]

"i haven't," she admitted with only a little regret. "Which is why the thought of the next few weeks hurts so much."

Parker leaned over and gave her a one-armed hug. "I'm sorry. But you know it'll only be a year before you're off to the bigger and better stuff too." She pulled back a little. "It does suck, though."

"Yeah, I suppose," Isabel said, leaning into the hug and trying not to think that it was more likely a little more then three months and it certainly wasn't going to be better.

Parker held on a moment longer, then let go. "Right. We need to do something fun. Do you think you can make the Teal Dear concert? Although that'll be more fun for you than for me."

"That's this weekend right?" she asked as she sat back. "I think I can make it. Well it's either that or sit here and be miserable. And I think I've had enough of that."

"Yayyy. I'll make sure your ticket's waiting for you at the door," Parker promised. "You can stop by our suite and have pizza with us before the gig, too." She got up, and gave Isabel one last hug. "Are you going to be okay? For now, I mean."

"I'll be fine Parker," Isabel assured her. "Really. Go, relax. Tomorrow will be a big day for you."
