"Sure...that's probably a good idea." Antero says. He isn't sure what to think of things. They leave together, and he calms down as they walk back. "A little chilly out tonight. I can tell that summer is ending."

"Well I think we're all willing to help how we can." I say to her.

"I don't know for sure. I can never be sure with him, but it would be nice. And I bet he is good with kids, so I am sure he would babysit for you if you wanted an evening off. I am not good with kids really. I just don't know how to act around the little buggers."

Nea wipes at her eyes, even though she didn't cry her eyes are still watery and she didn't want to make it more apparent. As she walks she again takes Antero's hand, she starts to feel even worse for her incident a few moments ago.

"Well... I'm okay with kids. I guess I'm gonna have to get better..." I mutter. I then start back up with my normal voice. "Well I'm sure we'll manage."

Antero notices that Nea's eyes look a little watery. He shakes his head, not used to all of this emotion. He can't remember the last time he cried. It was when he was pretty young though. "Something wrong?"

"So how long do you have to stay here? It's getting late so Tom and I should go soon. But we can see you in the morning." Cambridge suggests.
"You look good though. Glad you made it through it."

"No, I'm fine," she lied. She didn't want to admit right away everything that was on her mind.

"If something bothers you, you shouldn't keep it all inside. It isn't healthy." Antero says as he looks at the sky. He sticks his hands in his pockets and still doesn't know how to react to Nea being so emotional.

"Oh they just kept me overnight, I can go home as soon as Sofia is ready, which should be soon. Like in a few hours. Maybe I can just catch up with you two."

"Okay then. I guess we might see you later." Cambridge says and turns to Tom, stepping backwards to the door.

Nea stops. "Antero I'm just overwhelmed. All this about the Germans," Nea shakes her head. "And the change in Helsinki... I'm scared. I have a huge fear of death, and I'm scared of dying or....you dying. Antero I love you and all of this scares me." Now she couldn't stay strong anymore, she couldn't hold it in. Lifting her head a bit she looks at him her tears now flowing freely.

I follow Cambridge out. "Well you want me to buy or fix you some dinner, or do you just want to go home and rest? You look really stressed out."

"Bah, don't worry about me. I am fine. Worry about Selja. She had to go through all that. But I am glad that she is okay." Cambridge says as they walk. She walks in a fast, irratable pace.

"Nea..." Antero says. His shoulders slump. "I am not afraid of death. I mean, people die all the time. They die in stupid ways. They die in car accidents, they die of cancer, they die of old age. Some people die of neglect, hunger, preventable disease. Death is a part of life. But, if I am going to go, I want to go living the life I want to live, not living in fear of something that happens to everybody. And why do you fear death? I mean, you believe in Heaven right? So wouldn't you just go some place better than here?"
