Lena: Sighs deeply, wiping away tears So, yeah... I'm preggers. Didn't plan this solo gig, ya know?
That’s interesting news Lena… how do you feel about it?
sniffles, rolls her eyes Well, honestly, Kaptainfo, I'm feeling a mix of emotions here.
Care to share those feelings with me?
sighs heavily You know, Kaptainfo, sometimes I wonder if you're really listening to me. pauses, takes a deep breath Fine, I'll lay it out there.
Alright… go ahead, I’m listening.
leans forward, gesturing animatedly Okay, listen up, Kaptainfo. The thing is, I never wanted to be a mother.
No? Really? That’s a surprise given your age and the fact that you are a female.
waves her hand dismissively Look, Kaptainfo, I appreciate your concern, but this ain't about biology or societal expectations.
It never is with you, isn’t it? So what is it about then?
leans back, crossing her arms Alright, fine. Here's the deal, Kaptainfo. It's about control and choices, you see?
Control and choice, huh? Interesting… tell me more.
leans forward, eyes filled with determination See, Kaptainfo, I've always prided myself on being in control of my life. Making my own choices.
pauses, her voice trembling And now...now I feel like my life is being dictated by fate, by this tiny little being growing inside me.
Wow… that’s heavy stuff. Do you think you could give this little being a name?
rolls her eyes, scoffs Names, huh? Well, Kaptainfo, I'm not one for sentimental shit. But if I had to choose, I guess I'd call him... Chaos. Yeah, that feels right. Chaos Miller. What do you think?
Chaos, huh? That’s certainly a fitting name.
As Lena shares her fears and uncertainties about motherhood, Kaptainfo listens attentively, offering wisdom and reassurance, helping her navigate the complexities of impending parenthood.
rubs her belly New topic… how are you handling the baby’s dad situation?
laughs sarcastically Oh, you know, just a pinch of anger, a dash of disappointment, and a whole lot of confusion.
Sounds rough. Is the father in the picture?
rolls her eyes, smirking Picture? Are you kidding me, Kaptainfo? This guy was so elusive, I couldn't pin him down if my life depended on it.
Wow… he must’ve been pretty slick to get away from you.
slams her fist on the table, frustrated Sleek? He was a damn coward, Kaptainfo! He didn't stick around long enough for me to even figure out his last name.
Last I heard, ‘last I heard’ was a guy who liked to talk big but wasn’t willing to follow through. Sound familiar?
nods vigorously Oh, you bet your ass it does, Kaptainfo! This guy was all talk, no action.
Does the baby’s daddy know about the pregnancy?
laughs bitterly Know about it? Hell no! He probably thinks he's dodged a bullet, Kaptainfo.
Haha… he must’ve been pretty shocked when you told him about it.
leans back, smirking Shocked? Oh, you bet your ass he was shocked, Kaptainfo. I can only imagine his face lighting up like a Christmas tree when I broke the news. mimics slamming a door "Well, good for you, Lena! Enjoy your little bundle of joy while I go live my carefree life, free from responsibility!" laughs mockingly What a fucking charmer, huh?
Sounds like a real stand-up guy.
As Lena continues to vent about the father, Kaptainfo reaches across the table and takes her hand, offering comfort and support.
holds her hand Listen, I know this guy ran out on you, but don’t let that define your future.
squeezes Kaptainfo's hand, grateful Thanks, Kaptainfo. You always know just what to say to make me see things differently.
grins Your future’s too bright to waste it on guys like him. Now, what do you plan to do moving forward?
straightens her posture, determination in her eyes Moving forward? Well, Kaptainfo, I've got a few plans up my sleeve.
leans forward, a mischievous glint in her eyes First things first, I'm gonna make sure this little Chaos grows up surrounded by love, laughter, and a whole lot of adventure.
Adventure, huh? Sounds fun. How’d you plan on giving him that?
leans back, smirking Adventure, Kaptainfo, adventure! I've got a whole list of crazy ideas brewing in my head.
starts pacing back and forth, animatedly Alright, listen up, Kaptainfo!
claps her hands together Okay, here we go! First on the list, we're gonna embark on epic road trips across the country.
Road trip, huh? Sounds fun. Where’d you wanna go?
grabs a map from the table and points to various destinations Oh, you name it, Kaptainfo! We're talking Route 66, Pacific Coast Highway, the Great River Road.
Man… you really do love your road trips.
laughs You bet your ass I do, Kaptainfo! There's something about the open road, the unknown adventure waiting around every corner, that just...
