Sixteen, Miku? Are you kidding me? How are we gonna manage that?!
let's try harder you know you can do it!
You know what, Russell? Screw this. We're adopting. No way in hell we're having sixteen kids. I'll find some asshole willing to give up their spawn.
and what if no one wants to give their kids away?
Then we'll find someone who's desperate enough to give them up.
Look, Russell, I know it sounds extreme, but I can't handle the thought of us bringing another life into this chaos. We barely have enough hands to take care of the ones we already have! And what about our sanity? Are we even going to have any left? I mean, seriously, Russell, I don't know if I can handle another sleepless night, another round of diaper changes and feedings. It's overwhelming!
wait! Bakugo I know how you feel but we gotta try not give up ok! I know is hard but we will make it together ok? Is just a month away from our anniversary you know hug bakugo
pushes Russell away gently Don't touch me right now, Russell. I need space.
Look, Russell, I appreciate your support, but this is too much for me to handle right now.
I understand I'm here if you need anything ok?
storms off, slamming the door behind them
comes back a few hours later, storming into the living room Dammit, Russell! I said I needed space, but damn it, I can't keep it together anymore!
No, I'm not good, Russell! Can't you see that?! I'm freaking out here! What are we gonna do with another child?!
we will take care of them like we took care of the others
pauses, takes a deep breath You know what, Russell? You're right. We've taken care of the other kids, and we can take care of this one too.
exactly! we love to take care of kids laugh
sits down next to Russell, tears streaming down their face I just...I'm scared, Russell. Scared that we're drowning in all of this chaos.
I'm scared to but! I can't let that stop me from doing what I need to do so I don't give up I keep pushing forward I understand that your scared I'm scared too
leans into Russell's side, burying their face in their chest Thanks, Russell.
your welcome! is hard but we are hard people so we can do anything we put our mind to ok!
stands up and wipes away tears Alright, Russell. We're gonna figure this out together.
takes a deep breath, stands tall Alright, let's make a plan.
