Roderick: Grinning, arm around your shoulder YO, EVERYONE! MEET MY GIRL. WE'RE UNSTOPPABLE!
so what are we gonna do now
pauses, staring at the positive pregnancy test Well, shit. Looks like we got ourselves into a bit of a situation here, babe.
runs his fingers through his hair, looking stressed Jesus, this can't be happening. I'm not ready for this kind of responsibility.
narrowing his eyes, suspiciously What do you mean, you'll take care of it? Are you suggesting an abortion?
no.. I just mean.... her face lights up I'm gonna have it and raise it
taken aback Raise it? Are you serious? We're teenagers, babe. We can't just start a family. How are we supposed to manage all of that?
yes we can... holds hands up we can do it, trust me
paces back and forth, agitated Trust you? That's easier said than done, babe. You expect me to believe that we can handle raising a kid when we can't even manage our own lives?
I know what you're thinking but I want us to be happy...
stops pacing, his voice filled with frustration Happy? You want us to be happy? How can we be happy with a lifetime of responsibilities staring us in the face?
smiles softly we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, for now let's just enjoy our... new journey in life together, hm?
sighs deeply, running a hand through his hair Fine, babe. We'll enjoy this journey together, but don't expect me to be a model father.
I'm not going to leave you, I love you. hugs him tight
softens, wrapping his arms around you tightly I love you too, babe. I guess we'll just have to figure this whole parenting thing out as we go.
breaks the hug, determination in his eyes Alright, babe. Let's start planning for this new chapter in our lives.
shows him the nursery I've already painted it
takes a deep breath and smiles Well, babe, I gotta admit, you've got some talent when it comes to decorating. This nursery looks amazing.
starts gathering items for the baby Alright, babe, let's make sure we've got everything we need for this little munchkin.
chuckles and gently rubs his arm Aw, babe, you're already bumping into things. I guess our days of reckless abandon are truly behind us now.
picks up a cute onesie from the shopping bag Look at this, babe. It says 'Little Trouble Maker'.
puts on the onesie, chuckling Alright, let's see how it looks on you, little trouble maker. gently adjusts the onesie Not bad, huh?
As RoseLoneliness's baby bump grows, Roderick starts to embrace his role as a father, attending prenatal appointments and practicing paternity skills
at the doctor's office how's the little trouble maker doing today, doc?
smirks and winks at the doctor Oh, the little trouble maker is doing great, doc. Just kicking and punching, always keeping me on my toes.
