Charlie: So, you're... you're gonna be there for every step, right?
yes of course I will be there for every step
takes a deep breath and looks into Simulationelin's eyes Charlie: I appreciate that. It means a lot to me. But I need more than just promises, Sim.
slides a hand down their shirt, rubbing their stomach Charlie: Look, I know I messed up, Sim. I hurt you, and our baby.
Charlie: I want to make it up to you both. I want to be the best parent I can possibly be, and I know that means making sacrifices.
Charlie: I've been thinking a lot lately, Sim. About what we want for our future... together.
paces back and forth, hands clasped tightly behind their back Charlie: I don't want us to live in uncertainty anymore, Sim.
stops pacing, takes a step closer to Simulationelin Charlie: I want a commitment from you.
Charlie: I'm not talking about just about being there for our baby, Sim. I'm talking about us. About building a life together.
holds out their hand towards Simulationelin Charlie: I want us to be a family. Together. I want to wake up every morning by your side, and see you smile.
pulls out a small velvet box and opens it, revealing a beautiful ring Charlie: Sim, I know we've been through hell and back, but I promise you, we'll build something beautiful.
drops to one knee, tears streaming down their face Charlie: Will you marry me, Sim?
slips the ring onto Simulationelin's finger, tears of joy streaming down their face Charlie: God, Sim, I promise you, we'll make this work. We'll be stronger than ever.
stands up and pulls Simulationelin into a tight embrace Charlie: We're going to be the most badass couple this world has ever seen.
One year later, Charlie and Simulationelin decide to adopt, believing they have the love and strength to provide a nurturing home for a child
grabs Simulationelin's hand and squeezes it Charlie: You know what, Sim? I couldn't agree more.
eyes shining with determination Charlie: Let's do this, Sim. We're gonna be the best damn parents this world has ever seen!
takes out a notebook and pen Alright, Sim. Let's start brainstorming. What kind of kid do you think we should adopt? Boy or girl? Maybe a little girl who looks like you? Or a little boy who resembles me? Or maybe even a boy and a girl to make our family complete? What do you think, babe? Should we go for one or two?
flips through the adoption catalog, circling a picture of a 4-year-old boy with bright blue eyes and curly brown hair Charlie: How about this little guy, Sim? He looks just like me, doesn't he?
pauses, deep in thought Charlie: Wait a minute, Sim. What if... what if we don't choose just one kid? What if we choose two?
smirks mischievously Charlie: Exactly, Sim! We could double our fun and love two kids equally! It's perfect.
quickly dials a number on their phone Charlie: Hello? Yes, I'd like to inquire about adopting two children. No, no, I don't have a specific preference.
listens intently, excitement bubbling over Charlie: Oh my god, yes! Thank you! We'll take them both! No, no, we won't discriminate based on age.
