<BEGIN RECORDING, [0:11]>
[VOICE 1] - Oh, hi! Hey. I know you're probably busy and all that — I just wanted to give you a quick call. About later, I mean. Whenever you have the time; if you just want to pick us up at home, I can arrange something—
[VOICE 2] - (Offhand) Mommy, who are you talking to?
[VOICE 1] - Your Dad, honey.
[VOICE 2] - (Offhand) Oh! Can I please say hi to him? Pretty, pretty please?
[VOICE 1] - (Chuckling) Yes Jaden. Come say hi.
Several seconds pass.
[VOICE 2] - Hi Daddy! I miss you.
[VOICE 1] - Jaden, honey, this is a voicemail. Your Daddy is busy right now.
VOICE 2] - Voicemail?
[VOICE 1] - Yeah, honey. Voicemail.
[VOICE 2] - Oh!
A pause.
[VOICE 1] - Why don't you talk about what happened today?
[VOICE 2] - Today? Um…
Silence for an additional several seconds.
[VOICE 2] - Should I talk about school first? (Giggles)
[VOICE 1] - No, no. What did we do at the store today?
[VOICE 2] - Uh… you tripped on the sidewalk?
[VOICE 1] - No! (Laughing) The toy store.
[VOICE 2] - Oh, I know! That was just really funny though when it happened, Mommy.
The two voices laugh simultaneously.
[VOICE 2] - Mommy bought me an outfit! (Giggling) It's really, really cute.
[VOICE 1] - That outfit wasn't for you, silly. Who was it for? Do you remember?
[VOICE 2] - It was for Mr. Wooflestuckins!
[VOICE 1] - That's right! Your blue teddy bear, the one on your bed.
[VOICE 2] - Yeah! (Giggles)
[VOICE 1] - You wanna tell Daddy what the outfit looks like?
[VOICE 2] - Yeah! Uh… it's red and blue, and it looks like Superman! It's got a really long thingy on the back too.
[VOICE 1] - A cape, Jaden.
[VOICE 2] - Yeah! A cape. I forgot. (Laughs)
[VOICE 1] - Why don't you tell your Dad why you got it? What you said to me in the car?
[VOICE 2] - Um…
Another pause.
[VOICE 1] - Go ahead honey, don't be shy.
[VOICE 2] - Well… I got it because it reminded me of Daddy. Mommy said you spent a whole lot of time at work. She said that you were really busy today and that you really wanted to come get me after preschool but couldn't. I asked Mommy to buy it so I could always, always, always remember you! (Giggles)
[VOICE 1] - Aw, that's right. Good job!
Voice 2 continues giggling for several seconds.
[VOICE 1] - Hey silly goose, where are you going?
[VOICE 2] - (Offhand) To put on Mr. Wooflestuckin's new outfit!
[VOICE 1] - Didn't you forget to say something to Dad?
[VOICE 2] - (Offhand) Oh right.
Another pause.
[VOICE 2] - I love you! Have a good day at work. See you later!
Voice 2 can be heard walking away.
[VOICE 1] - What a silly girl… what are we gonna do with her?
Voice 1 sighs.
[VOICE 1] - Y'know, she loves you a lot. Truly. Every day she tells me exactly how much she loves you.
[VOICE 1] - I know you're really busy. With what's happening at work and all, I know you're stressed. Do me a favor, okay? Don't worry. Especially not about us. You keep doing what you need to, and everything will work out. I promise, Daryl.
A final pause.
[VOICE 1] - Oh, and don't you worry about Jaden. She'll be thrilled to hear about her new baby sister on the way. Stay safe, we can't wait to see you.
