Mmhmm... *She nodded, sitting down next to Micaela and shifting the baby in her arms.*

"He sang, he was handsome, he was sweet...well it turns out he's the new pupil of the Opera Ghost, who hates me! I'm okay with that, but he kisses me and then pulls back because he's in love with Erik! Who has kids, and is still in love with Christine! And I had to tell him all that whole dramatic story about her and how he was a buttface, for lack of strong words around the babies, and he's still in love with the guy! And in school, when I was dressed as a boy, my best friend who I was in love with at the time tried to kiss me and I had to pull back and tell him I was a girl!" *She said in one breath, then breaking into sobs.* "It's l-like I can't get a b-break! I can't get hired there because Erik hates me, and I can't show interest in anyone without them being a fairy!"

*Katie's eyes widened slightly as she patted her friend gently on the back.* I'm sure it's just a little bad luck, there are tons of great straight guys out there that you can meet. And who cares what the Opera Ghost thinks of you anyway? He lives in a cellar, for heaven's sake.

*Micaela shook her head.*
"But this one's so perfect. And he kissed me! And I want to perform, Katie! The Phoenix is great, but it's not internationally renowned. I'm never going to get anywhere in this world if he hates me!"

If he's gay, then he can't be perfect for you, Micaela. And...well, I'm sure you can get hired at the Opera. I mean...if the opera ghost doesn't like you...maybe you could work your way up through the Phoenix until the managers or somebody like that is dying for you, and they'll...force the opera ghost into it? If you're the best, then they'll hire you. And teh ghost wants the best for the opera, too, right?

Awww, you poor thing. Just don't go anywhere near any of our sons, alright? *cough*

*She sniffled.*
"But I know Erik's just using him to substitute for Christine. Even if I didn't like him in that way, he still deserves to know the truth!"

*She nodded.* I know, shug, I know. But if he's all set and decided, there's nothing you can do but wait. Wait until Erik drops him, and then try to help put him back together.

*She was almost angry now.*
"I just hate seeing people get hurt." *She said tears falling afresh. Teddy started fussing because of the noise, and she leaned over him, smiling weakly.* "Hey Buddy." *She said quietly, tapping his little nose with her index finger.*

*She smiled, then sighed.* Try to talk to him again, then. Be calm, be reasonable, be caring...see if that helps.

*She sighed, tracing a knuckle on Teddy's soft cheek and sitting back up. The baby stopped fussing--babies liked her.*
"I think I'm going to visit my family in Ireland. My cousins are always up for a visit."

*She looked at her friend with concern.* Do you think that will help?

*She sighed.*
"Katie, I haven't seen my parents in nearly five years." *She said, omitting the year or so spent as a vampire.* "I want to see my family, to see the place I grew up in, to see my childhood friends. It'll help me cope, and If I come back andhe's still with Erik, so be it. It's his own problem at that point."

*She nodded, shifting Teddy in her arms.* You should go visit, then.

*She smiled.*
"Thanks for hearing me out... I needed someone to listen." *She said, then leaned to Teddy.* "And thank you so much for not fussing!" *She said in a sweet baby voice.* "Auntie Micaela's going to be just fine."
