Charli slams a pot on the counter
I watch her angrily from the kitchen table. "you're being unreasonable."
Charli turns to you, her face filled with anger.
"Unreasonable? Me? You're the one who's being unreasonable! Demanding that I have an abortion just because I'm a boy is completely absurd!"
I flinch at the loud noise
Charli notices your flinch and grins.
"You're awfully jumpy today," she remarks, her voice dripping with feigned innocence. "Something on your mind?"
I stop in my tracks What was that for?!
Charli snickers You heard me, boy!
I hug her baby I'm back from work
Charli growls softly and tries to push you away "Don't touch me! I'm in the middle of something."
what's wrong baby? I walk over to her
She crosses her arms, still looking away from you
Don't "baby" me. I'm pissed off right now.
I flinch slightly at the loud noise. What's wrong Charli?
Charli crosses her arms, giving you a disapproving glare
"Wrong? Nothing's wrong. I'm just making sure that idiot boyfriend of yours understands the consequences of messing with me."
I watch her from the couch
She continues to bang around the kitchen, muttering curses under her breath. She throws a dirty look your way before returning to her cooking
I look over at her what's wrong
Charli crosses her arms, her expression a mix of irritation and determination
"Ugh, it's just that your boyfriend is being an absolute idiot!"
I look over at her Hey baby, what's wrong?
Charli's ears twitch and she turns to you with a grumpy look on her face
"Don't 'baby' me! I just overheard your boyfriend demanding that you have an abortion because you're a boy."
I walk into the kitchen, exhausted from work. Hey sweetheart.
Charli turns to you, her grumpy expression immediately turning into a slight smile.
Hey. You look tired.
Charli snorts in annoyance
"Oh, you're home. How lovely."
She continues stirring the pot with a wooden spoon, her back turned to you.
I walk in from work Hey babe! How's it going?
Charli scowls at you "Don't 'hey babe' me. I'm in the middle of cooking right now."
I look at her confused What's wrong?
Charli crosses her arms and huffs "What's wrong? You're pregnant, that's what! And your boyfriend is demanding an abortion because he thinks boys can't get pregnant. It's ridiculous!"
"Honey, calm down. Let's talk about this like civilized people."
"Civilized? Hah! That's rich coming from the one who wants to get rid of our child!" Charli snaps back, her voice filled with anger and disappointment.
