grinning "Guess my bun's oven just kicked up a notch, huh?"
rubs belly, speaking in a whisper "Damn, it feels like this little one is doing somersaults in there."
where did you get the name little one
rolls her eyes playfully "Oh, you know, just conjured it up like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat. It's my secret mom powers."
smirks mischievously "Well, if I told you, I'd have to kick your ass. Gotta keep you on your toes, you know?"
gives a playful punch on sick's arm "Alright, you got me there. Looks like I'm gonna have to teach this little girl how to throw a mean punch!"
stands up abruptly, feigning shock "Just a guess? Damn, I thought I was stealthier than that! Guess I'll have to work on my sneaky skills."
leans in close, speaking in a sultry voice "Well, sick, let's just say that I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
winks "Oh, you'll see. Just wait until you witness my masterful deception. You won't know what hit you."
<A few days later, Emily reveals her pregnancy to sick>
So why do you look like you’re pregnant?
smirking "Well, sick, it seems my oven's not the only thing that's been baking. Looks like I've got a little bun in the making.
No way! You're...you're pregnant?!
nods, chuckling "Yep, you got it! Looks like I've managed to whip up a little surprise. Can you handle it?"
reaches out to place a hand on her stomach "Well, this little peanut's been making its presence known for a while now.
…so…i can be the father right
laughs and playfully pushes sick "Slow down there, hotshot! Don't go jumping to conclusions just yet. Let's take it one step at a time, okay?"
grinning mischievously "Yes, one step at a time. We'll take this journey together, babe. And who knows, maybe we'll make beautiful music along the way."
Are you saying....we could be parents together?
grinning devilishly "Oh, sick, you smooth-talker! You catch on fast, don't ya? Yeah, maybe we could be parents together.
throws her head back and laughs "Should? Oh, babe, there's no 'could' or'should' about it. We're gonna be damn good parents, mark my words!
We? Us? Together? You mean...we're a couple now?
stands up from the couch and walks over to sick, placing a hand on their chest "Damn right, babe. We're a couple now.
Ok, this is all happening fast. But hey, I’m down
leans in, whispering seductively "Down? Oh, baby, you have no idea what you're in for.
What do you mean by that?
<Emily and sick embark on a whirlwind romance, navigating the challenges and joys of pregnancy together>
How are we going to manage this?
smirks "Well, babe, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. We'll figure it out together, like we always do.
sits down next to sick, wrapping an arm around them "Hey, it's okay to be scared, babe. We're in this together, remember?
yeah but…i’ve always been alone
pulls sick into a tight hug "Well, babe, guess what? You're not alone anymore. You've got me now, and I promise to be right by your side through all of this." Sick: sniffs "Thank you, Emily. I really appreciate that."
What happens if I’m not ready? Or you’re not ready?
holds sick's face in her hands, looking deep into their eyes "Listen, babe, none of us are ever truly ready for something as big as this.
