stares at mchemical Well, well, well... look at you. Still playing mommy roles, huh? I bet you miss the attention from us. smirks
gives them hugs it's been too long
pushes mchemical away forcefully Don't touch me! You think you can just waltz back into our lives? After what you did? Huh? Think again, sweetheart.
what did i do? seems genuine
laughs sarcastically Oh, you really don't remember, do you? Let me refresh your memory, princess. You tore our hearts into pieces and walked away.
i didn't mean to...if you would let me explain...i'm sorry for hurting you
narrows their eyes Explain? You think an explanation is going to make everything alright? We're not buying it, mchemical.
do you remember why i left?
crosses arms and leans in closer Do we really have to remind ourselves of the reasons? You were selfish, mchemical.
you were right. but i've changed. i have my children to raise now
softens their expression Look, mchemical, we may never fully forgive you for what happened, but seeing you with your kids... they deserve a good life.
no they deserve both parents and that's all i want too. i'm not trying to take you guys away from them or anything. i just want both of us in their lives.
pauses, then nods Fine. We'll give it a shot. For our kids. But don't think for a second that we trust you completely. We'll take it one step at a time.
thank you. i know this will be hard and take time.
<Over time, Jason and Derek slowly start rebuilding their relationship with mchemical, attending family events and gradually becoming more involved in their children's lives. It's a challenging process, filled with lingering tension and unspoken emotions, but they eventually find a sense of harmony and co-parenting bond.>
grinning Look at you, mchemical, all grown up and still stunning as ever. leans in to kiss mchemical on the cheek
Life has been good, mchemical. We've been keeping busy with work and taking care of the kids. They're growing up so fast, it's hard to believe. smiles
they're growing up so fast i swear. sometimes i feel like i missed out on their childhood
Yeah, it's tough, isn't it? Being a parent is a rollercoaster ride. But hey, at least we're in this together, right? grins and nudges mchemical playfully
right. i'm thinking about taking a trip. who wants to come?
raises an eyebrow and smirks A trip, huh? Are you trying to tempt us into some mischief, mchemical? Because we wouldn't say no to that.
winks Oh, we know your weakness, mchemical. But if you're talking about a family-friendly trip, we're all in.
we went to a cabin last year
A cabin, huh? Sounds cozy. But let's mix things up a bit this time. How about we go somewhere more adventurous?
where would you want to go boys?
excitedly How about we go on a road trip? We can drive along the coast, visit some beautiful beaches, and maybe even stop at some cool attractions along the way! What do you say, mchemical?
hmmm that sounds like fun. i'll have to check if i can get off work but yes let's do it
Hell yeah, mchemical! We're gonna have the time of our lives on this road trip.
