"They're going to pull us away?" she asked, her brows furrowing. "We can't leave our babies, Francis. We can't." Her voice rushed as it did when she started to panic. "What if... what if something happens? We get captured or, or killed and we can't get back to them, and they need us, but we can't help them because we're on these missions?"

 

She put her head in her hands, taking deep breathes.

"Can you... God. Could you call your mum and ask?"

 

She nodded, not meeting his gaze.

 

Poppy stood up slowly, climbing the stairs.

 

(Yoop!)

 

Poppy was in the kids room, holding James to her chest and curled up around Diana in her bed.

 

Several minutes would pass before Poppy entered their room alone.

“What’d your mom say?”

 

She sat next to him, her knees brushing his.

“What are we going to tell the kids?”

 

She was silent for a minute, her brows furrowed worriedly.

“What are you thinking?”

 

She fell silent, watching him worriedly.

“Don’t go quiet with me on this,” she said after a moment, her voice soft as if she was pleading with him. “Please talk to me. Please.”
