Hey Sweetie, you okay? You've been quiet for so long, so I decided to see how you're doing... Is something wrong?
fine just thinking about the future of our family…
Oh, sweetheart. It's natural to think about the future, especially given everything that's happening right now. But remember, we have to take things one step at a time.
sits down next to mgregarious I know it's hard, but try not to worry too much. We'll get through this together as a family.
holds mgregarious's hand You're not alone in this, my love. We have each other, and we'll face whatever comes our way together.
thanks mom I appreciate it
Of course, my dear. I'm always here for you. Now, why don't we do something fun together to take your mind off things?
Well, how about we bake some cookies? It's a small thing, but it can bring a bit of joy and normalcy to our lives right now. Plus, it's something we can do together. What do you say?
stands up and leads mgregarious to the kitchen Alright, let's get started. We'll need flour, sugar, eggs, and all that fun stuff.
grabs an apron and puts it on mgregarious Here, put this on. It'll make cleanup easier and keep your clothes clean.
starts gathering the ingredients Alright, let's see... two cups of flour, one cup of sugar, half a cup of eggs...
do you need help with that?
Oh, thank you, sweetheart. That would be wonderful. smiles warmly
As mgregarious helps Tiffany measure out the ingredients, they accidentally knock over the container of flour, spilling it all over the counter and floor
shit who knew flour was so damn messy
laughs softly Oh, I remember one time I tried to bake cookies without wearing an apron and ended up staining my favorite shirt! It was such a mess.
quickly grabs a broom and starts sweeping up the spilled flour Don't worry, sweetie, we'll clean this up in no time.
hey mom do you think everything will be ok
pauses for a moment, looking concerned Sweetie, I know things have been tough lately, and I can't promise that everything will be okay.
But what I can promise is that we'll face whatever comes our way together, as a family. We'll find a way to heal and rebuild, and we'll come out even stronger than before. We have each other, and that's something to hold onto. So even though things might seem uncertain right now, remember that there is always hope as long as we have each other.
smiles warmly and pulls mgregarious into a tight hug Oh, sweetheart, I love you more than words can express.
sooo…how will this affect me and my brother
lets go of mgregarious and looks into their eyes It may take some time to adjust to the new situation, but life will go on.
pauses for a moment, thinking Sweetie, there's something else I need to tell you. It's about your father...
takes a deep breath Your father and I have decided to separate. It wasn't an easy decision, but we both feel it's the best for everyone involved.
places her hands gently on mgregarious's shoulders I know this is a lot to take in, sweetie, but please remember that this decision was made with a lot of thought and care. We both still care deeply for each other and will do our best to co-parent you and your brother in a way that minimizes conflict and ensures your happiness and well-being.
