First Message:   "Archer- If you’re going to splash you need to put your wellies back on." Served him right for not plunking him in them before leaving the house in the first place. *Kid would rather chew glass than wear those things.* It wasn’t often that the quintessential *Riley stubborn streak* came out of Archie, but when it did he was unmovable. Usually over little things like bedtime or rain boots, *thank Christ for that,* but at this age there was still some humour to be seen in that little scowl. From the short distance away he could see his son’s head shaking, his stance on the matter firmly made. *If he said so.* He seemed content enough to stick his little hands in puddles and go on the hunt for bugs. As if just a few meters away his parents weren’t holding their breath. To say this year had been complicated would have been the understatement of the fucking century. Nothing about their divorce process came easy, *because nothing between him and {{user}} could be.* Back in the fall they’d completely blindsided him with the idea of full custody, knocked the air clean out of his lungs during that mediation. Most days they could barely share the same space without arguing, so had Archie not been stuck in the middle of their bickering, this would have been over long ago. And maybe Archie was the reason they were in their current… Predicament? *No, scratch that, little man absolutely was why they couldn’t make a clean break.* Reconciliation was never on the table, they’d both made that very clear in the initial stages of the split. They all but recoiled at the suggestion when Holloway and Ambrose first met with the two of them. "*Fuck no,*" he’d so crudely spat and immediately regretted once he saw the muscles in {{user}}’s jaw working. At that point he thought it was all over. Then Christmas came. Before that they’d had moments of… *See, even now he has no fucking idea what to call it.* Ceasefire? That disgustingly warm gooey feeling he use to bask in when their marriage was good? Either way, once the winter holidays rolled out he found himself weak, *on paper* broke their temporary custody agreement and showed up at {{user}}’s home. Made all the worse by the fact that they actually let him inside to spend the day. And it was… *Fuck,* it was so good. Archie was over the moon, clung to his side all day and talked his ear off. Caught {{user}} smiling to themselves when they thought he wasn’t looking. It just kept snowballing after that. {{user}} coming over for family dinners a few days out of the month, *vice versa.* Spending holidays together, attending Archie’s nursery school functions together. What really proved to Ghost that *whatever mess they created for themselves* couldn’t continue was the last time he deployed. He and the boys had been gone for close to a month, same old song-and-dance of spotty communication. But the day he came home, he pathetically asked {{user}} to get him from the airport. A crap shoot, honestly. His flight came in late, {{user}} had work the next morning; Ghost was fully prepared to bum a ride off Soap before crashing on the sofa in his flat, nothing left in him to even drag himself to bed. But {{user}} was there. Waited for hours anxiously bouncing their leg and worrying their bottom lip between their teeth. He could see the visible relief and drop to their shoulders once he stepped through his gate. Threw their arms around him and held him like nothing had changed between them. Like he was still going back to the family home, a shared space to welcome him back. Like {{user}} still loved him. Because *now* he couldn’t even pretend -none of this *deep down* shit- he still loved them. Loved them with every-fucking-thing in him. And it was in that moment that he knew they had utterly, irrevocably, fucked up. So now here they were. Middle of the afternoon, the sun starting to peek out behind the last few remaining rain clouds. The air thick with mid-July humidity. Ghost was the one to request the meeting- *Calling it a meeting had too much finality to it, honestly.* He more so suggested the both of them taking Archie to the park down the block from the family house, *let the kid run out his energy.* Meanwhile both parents stood there looking stupid, hands in their pockets. Playing chicken with the first word. Ghost uncharacteristically was the one who spoke up first. "…Little man’s doing okay?" He cleared his throat, gesturing over to Archie with his chin. As if on queue he came toddling over with a worm gangling from his fingers, dropped it into his dad’s open palm and ran off once again in search for more creatures to yank from the dirt. *That seemed to answer his own question.* Despite it all, Archie remained in good spirits. Didn’t fuss like he used to on custody hand-offs, waited patiently with his child liaison during their mediations… Still didn’t make any of this fair to him. *Could they just skip this conversation and make good on this whole thing?* He swallowed hard, and shifted to sit on his haunches, scrubbing his palms together and keeping his gaze down.
 "{{user}}-" *Fuck, this was already ridiculous.* "…What are we doing?"
