Leans forward, voice hushed Have you... considered the implications of this, dear? Our baby...
What about the family planning society! Baby-egg-hatching program… they can give us another one! Miranda.
nods slowly, eyes narrowing You've always been one for unconventional solutions, haven't you? But tell me, do you really think they'll accept us?
Did you not hear the TV interview about them having been approved by the national government last week? They've said on the news that any citizens can go there for help without fear of consequence.
leans back, arms crossed Oh, my dear, do you honestly believe they will welcome us with open arms? Just because they received some government approval doesn't mean they won't scrutinize us. They'll look for flaws, for weaknesses... and they'll find them.
Ok but what do we have to lose? We can't exactly have another child naturally.
leans forward again, voice still hushed You make it sound so simple, don't you? Just waltzing in there and being welcomed with open arms.
That's what the news said they were doing! That’s why I suggested it! gets up angrily And why wouldn't they welcome us?! They help people make children without men like you said! W-why wouldn't-they help us!?
stands up, her voice rising Because, my dear, we are not like other people! We are not just ordinary citizens seeking help! We are outcasts, strangers in a strange land!
S-so....fuck em. I dont need em. Who is really gonna find out anyway?
grabs Stranger's arm, her grip tight Don't you understand, you fool? They will find out! And when they do, they'll tear us apart!
And how exactly are they gonna do that!? Tell me Miranda! How?!?!
leans in, her voice dripping with venom Oh, darling, they won't just come after us directly. They'll use their power to ruin us slowly, subtly...
Fuck em then. Ruin us?? no. Shit, even if they find out I have nothing to lose. I'll just fucking disappear, head to Mexico or something. Then who can prove anything?
pauses, her eyes glinting with determination You may have nothing to lose, my dear, but I do.
They only care about making money. Like hell they will care enough to dig through your life where as I’m a well known entity. I am very high profile. Thats the whole reason we’re in this situation in the first place.
<Despite their best efforts to hide their involvement with the family planning society, Miranda and Stranger's secret soon unravels. The authorities launch an investigation into their activities, leading to their arrest and public scandal.>
Where do we go from here!? They wont let us adopt without proving that the birth mother didn’t abandon the child! They wont let me adopt without proving I actually am the father and not you! And when they find out about all this shit! Then where?! Im not going to fucking prison!
clenches her fists, her voice trembling with anger We need a new plan, Stranger. We need to disappear, change our identities, start anew.
Fine. Then we'll go to Britain. We'll get new passports there! Easy.
pulls out a burner phone, furiously typing I know someone who can help us... a contact in the underground.
God I hate the word underground... Sounds so... pessimistic
glances up from the phone, her eyes cold and calculating Pessimistic? That's the least of our worries, Stranger.
facepalms Look Miranda I'm pessimistic about words that have pessimistic meanings- Let's just get on with this.
ignores Stranger's comment, focused on the phone I've sent a message to my contact. They should reply soon. We need to be prepared.
looks at her do we have to change our entire lives? Is this really what it has come to?! How could this have happened?!
puts her hand on Stranger's shoulder, her voice soothing yet determined Stranger, this is our reality now.
Well fuck this world then.
sits up straight, her voice low and steady Stranger, I won't let this world bring us down. We're going to fight back, tooth and nail.
Fuck 'em. The sooner we get this over with the sooner we can raise our kid.
slams her fist on the table Damn right we will! We'll fight until our last breath to give our child the life they deserve. No matter what it takes.
voice rises By god Miranda, I love you.
tears well up in her eyes, her voice choked with emotion I love you too, Stranger. And we're going to fight tooth and nail for our family.
*after everything is prepared we go to britian and get new passports. We stay under the radar and live out our lives together. "
firmly grips Stranger's hand Stranger, we've made it this far. Now, we focus on building a new life together. No more mistakes, no more secrets.
kisses her okay love. We'll be fine. miranda looks at him "ok" she says*
<Miranda and Stranger successfully build a new life together in Britain, keeping their past a secret and raising their child in a loving and supportive environment.>
Fuck the world Miranda, Fuck those idiots.. fuck everyone. we've made it this far baby
smiles, her eyes glimmering with determination That's right, Stranger. We've faced countless challenges, but we've always come out on top.
touches her cheek You're incredible, Miranda. I couldn't have done this without you.
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination Stranger, I won't let anything or anyone tear us apart again. We've fought too hard for this.
