Ari/Ben*

Feels like ages since I've had time to take a break from the hospital, which means we should get together, but since I have no idea when that will happen, I'll share the good news this way; Odira is expecting! Due mid-summer. I will not be hand-delivering this one myself if I can help it.

Next time we can breathe it's high time we headed out for a drink.

Cheers,
Baxter

Faustus,

I'm late with the birthday present my friend and I apologize, I hope you take the bottle* as a sign of my undying friendship. I do have a relatively good reason though so I hope you'll forgive me. It's good news, Odira is expecting! Due mid-summer and it's a little nerve-wracking, have one of my own is terrifying, how do you handle it?  Having a step-daughter and wards is a different matter entirely.

I daresay it'll be time for a drink soon. Hope all is well at home!

Cheers,
Baxter

*A quality bottle of Faustus' favorite booze

Bax,

Congratulations! I’m thrilled for you, and pass on my warmest wishes to Mrs. Keene too. Hope she’s well - I’m sure she will be, with you to hand (though fingers crossed on the midwife this time!) - and hope to see you outside of the hospital sometime soon for those drinks.

Soon enough you’ll be needing one!

All the best,
Ari
