Honestly, Liv didn't want to think about all of Joey's problems. Yes, he talked in his sleep. He sometimes wrestled in his sleep. Still, she wasn't sure what kept him up at night. He would hear noises, like car alarms or fire alarms. Sounds she never heard.
Still, she didn't think he was going crazy.
When Xander mentioned Hal, Liv was happy to change the subject. In fact, she was glad Xander brought him up.
"Oh, I don't think he goes anywhere," Liv told Hal. "He's got his hands full with the baby."
"I've been meaning to call." Xander pressed his lips tight as if he hesitated to say more. Liv was sure Xander's husband, Ducky had him on a short leash, even if Xander spoke of how much he had to study this summer. "I guess the baby is pulling up by now."
Baby Christian was almost nine months old and crawling like a pro.
"He was worried about his weight for awhile, but I think he's doing all right," Liv said that Hal was a delight in fatherhood. "It suits Hal." She smiled, yet a little worried that Hal needed more friends.
"Maybe, maybe sometime, you can come over and we'll invite Hal." Liv wanted Xander to see how the baby was growing. She remembered Xander's help when Hal was adjusting to being a single Dad. "I know he'd love to see you."
"I'd love too." Xander first said and then gritted. "But, I dunno how Ducky would be, you know, if..if he couldn't come too."
Liv knew it was wrong about breaking up couples. Still, she thought Xander and Hal could at least be friends.
