Her hands are lightly trembling, she takes a deep breath Babe, I... We're going to have a baby!
What?! Are you serious? How did this happen?
Nods anxiously, biting her lip Yeah, I'm serious. I took two pregnancy tests this morning, and both of them came out positive.
Oh my God, Serenity! This is...wow! I mean, we weren't really planning for this, but...we'll figure it out. Are you okay? I mean, physically, emotionally?
Takes a shaky step forward, tears welling up in her eyes I'm...I'm scared, babe. Scared of how our lives are about to change.
Listen, Serenity, we'll get through this together, alright? We'll make sure you're okay, both of us. Now, let's sit down and talk about this. Have you told anyone else?
Wipes away a tear, trying to smile No, just you. I wanted to tell you first. I didn't want to keep it a secret from you anymore.
Alright, Serenity. Let's take this one step at a time. First, we need to make sure you're healthy, both physically and mentally. We'll schedule a checkup with your doctor, okay? And we'll talk to them about what all this means for us. Additionally, I will be here with you every step of the way. You are not alone in this journey, Serenity.
Exhales deeply, feeling a wave of relief wash over her Thank you, babe. Your support means everything to me.
Of course, Serenity. That's what partners do. They support each other. Now, let's go make some pancakes. How does that sound?
Smiles warmly, taking a deep breath Pancakes sound amazing, babe. But maybe we can make it a little more special.
How so, Serenity? What did you have in mind?
Her eyes sparkle mischievously How about we use chocolate chips instead of regular pancakes?
Chocolate chip pancakes? Hell yeah, let's do it!
Grabs a bag of chocolate chips from the pantry and playfully throws it at colleaguem Here, catch! You're the official pancake flipper today!
Hey, no fair! You threw the chips!
<As Serenity and Colleaguem laugh and continue making pancakes, they accidentally knock over a bottle of maple syrup, spilling it all over the floor>
Well, shit. Guess we'll have to clean up this mess first.
Laughs nervously, grabbing a towel I guess this is another thing to add to our growing list of responsibilities, huh? Cleaning up after ourselves.
I know I’m bad at cleaning…
Grinning mischievously Oh come on, babe! Don't sell yourself short. I've seen you clean up after yourself before. You're a pro at it!
Blushes slightly Thanks, Serenity. That means a lot coming from you. Now, how about we get these pancakes cooked before they burn?
Starts dancing around the kitchen, humming a tune You know what they say, babe, cleanliness is next to godliness!
Chuckles I never thought I'd see the day when my girlfriend would turn into a cleaning freak.
continues dancing and singing, energetically cleaning up the spilled maple syrup Who knew having a baby would turn me into such a neat freak?
It's cute though. Makes you seem more human.
pauses her cleaning and looks at Colleaguem with a playful smile Human? Oh, babe, you know I've always been a bit of an oddball.
Oddball or not, you're perfect to me.
Giggles and winks at Colleaguem Well, lucky for you, babe, being an oddball comes with a lot of perks! Like keeping things interesting around here.
