Cassandra: Youuu seriously thought you'd avoid this? crosses arms Weee need to talk now.
Alright then, let's get this over with, I'm not exactly thrilled about being here either... So, how exactly did I end up in this mess? Let's start with that, shall we?
Well, let me take you back to our night together. Do you remember that night? raises an eyebrow It was a wild one, wasn't it?
Oh come on now, don't act like you don't remember! smirks You were on top of me, making me scream your name, and then we passed out in each other's arms.
Ugh, you really have a way of ruining every moment, don't you? rolls her eyes Fine, I'll paint you a picture.
smirks Literally or metaphorically?
smirks right back Oh, I think you know exactly what I mean. But enough about me painting you a picture. Let's talk about what we're going to do about this baby.
First things first, why didn't you tell me sooner?
throws her hands up in exasperation Oh, I don't know, maybe because I didn't want to drag you into this mess!
Dragged into this mess? You think I'm getting dragged into this? I'm already in this mess
leans forward, eyes narrowed Well, maybe if you hadn't been so caught up in your own world, you would have noticed that something was up!
What did you want me to do? You were the one that was spending the night out of town
stands up abruptly, pointing a finger at Douglas Oh, I see what's happening here. You're trying to blame this all on me, arenβt you?
The tension between Cassandra and Douglas escalates as they argue over the responsibility of raising their child
Okay, you're right. It was unfair of me to say that. I didn't notice anything was wrong because of my work. Can we move past this and figure out what we're going to do now?
takes a deep breath, calming herself Look, Douglas, I appreciate your willingness to step up and take responsibility.
You mean just the two of us taking responsibility?
narrows her eyes Hold on a second, Douglas. This isn't just about the two of us.
Yes, of course it's about the two of us. It was our kid that got made.
crosses her arms, smirking Oh, so now you remember who's responsible for this little miracle?
Of course I remember. I'm the one that has to spend time searching for jobs, pay for daycare, and clean up after the baby. What do you do?
sighs, uncrosses her arms, and leans forward Look, I know this situation isn't ideal, but don't act like I'm not contributing here.
leans back, rolling her eyes You know, Douglas, sometimes I wonder if you actually get how much effort it takes to be a mother.
