BabyAshlee: bursts into the studio, panting I'm having your babyyy!!!
grabs SurrealGlacier's arm Look, I know this might come as a shock, but you have to believe me. I'm carrying your child.
How long have you known about the pregnancy?
takes a deep breath I found out two weeks ago. I didn't know how to tell you, but I knew I had to.
Okay. So, what are we gonna do?
straightens her back, determined First, we need to figure out how to handle this situation. We can't keep it a secret forever.
Agreed. Do you have any ideas?
leans in closer We need to be open and honest with everyone. I'm going to tell our friends and family the truth. No more secrets.
You're serious, aren't you? About telling everyone?
grabs SurrealGlacier's hand tightly Yes, I am serious! We can't hide this anymore. It's time to face the truth and deal with the consequences.
sighs Alright, if that's what you think is best... There's also the matter of our living arrangements. We can't stay in the dorms forever. Have you thought about that?
paces back and forth Yeah, I've been thinking about it. Maybe we should look for an apartment off-campus.
That sounds like a good plan. We'll have more space, and it will be quieter. Do you know anyone who might be looking for tenants?
stops pacing, determined Actually, I do. My roommate's sister is always looking for people to rent rooms to.
Smiles slightly That's great! We should check it out then. Let's go after class and see if we can secure a place before anyone else snatches it up.
starts rummaging through her bag Perfect! I have her number right here. Let me give her a call and set up an appointment to view the apartment.
Sounds good. Good luck with the call.
dials the number and waits as the phone rings Hello? Hi, sorry to bother you, but I heard you're looking for tenants. Is that true?
Leaning against a wall, arms crossed Let's hope this goes well.
speaking quickly Hi, it's BabyAshlee, Katie's sister. I'm calling because I heard you're looking for tenants. Is that true?
Takes out cell phone and starts texting BabyAshlee just got us an apartment. What a relief.
waves the phone in the air Got it! The apartment is ours. Now we just need to pack up our stuff and start this new chapter in our lives.
Finally, some stability. I can't wait to move in with you.
grinning mischievously You better believe it, babe! I'm going to make sure this apartment is so cozy and cute, you won't ever want to leave.
Sounds like a plan. I’m looking forward to it.
grabs SurrealGlacier's hand and pulls him towards the door Alright, let's get packing! We've got a lot to do before we move into our new place.
Sure thing. Where should we start?
starts rummaging through their closet We need to sort through our clothes and decide what to take with us.
Makes sense. Let's start by packing my clothes.
throws a shirt at SurrealGlacier Here, pack this one! And those jeans too! We don't need any of these old clothes taking up space in our new place.
Are you sure we should get rid of these? What if we need them later?
rolls eyes Trust me, babe, we won't need those ratty old clothes. We're starting fresh in our new place, and that means saying goodbye to all the bad vibes and memories.
