Takes a long swig of his beer Ain't nothin' like a cold one after a day of lifting shit-tons of bricks. You good, babe?
I think we should have a baby.. maybe not yet but soon!..
Chokes on his beer, coughing violently What the fuck, babe? Are you serious right now?
Sets down his beer and looks at BubblegumSymphony with wide eyes Shit, babe... Are you sure about this? I mean, having a baby is a big fucking deal.
I'm sure! I've been thinking about this for awhile. Don't be shocked smiles
Runs his fingers through his hair, looking agitated Fuck, babe, you know I love you, right? But this... This is a whole 'nother level.
You don't have to answer right now, just think about it..
Takes a deep breath and rubs his temples Look, babe, I ain't sayin' no, but I gotta be honest with you.
Babe, please let me know when you make up your mind.
Alright, listen, babe. I need some time to wrap my head around this whole baby thing. It's not that I don't love you or anything, it's just...
🥺it's ok babe, take your time...
leans back on the couch and scratches his head Look, babe, I appreciate your feelings and all, but having a baby is a huge responsibility.
leans forward and holds BubblegumSymphony's hands Babe, I know it's something you want, and I love you for it, but I gotta be realistic here.
Listen, Colby, I get it. It's a big step. But we can do this together, right? We're a team.
<After much contemplation, Colby decides that he is not ready to have a baby and expresses his concerns to BubblegumSymphony>
sighs heavily and looks into BubblegumSymphony's eyes Look, babe, I've been thinking about this non-stop, and I gotta be honest with you.
takes a deep breath Babe, having a baby is a huge commitment, both financially and emotionally.
Gets up from the couch and paces back and forth Look, babe, I know you're excited about the idea of having a baby, but I just don't feel ready yet.
Fine, I respect your decision, babe. Just know that I’m here for you. 🫶🏼❤️
stops pacing and sits down next to BubblegumSymphony Babe, it ain't that I don't want a kid someday, 'cause I do. But right now, I just...
sighs and looks down, trying to find the right words Look, babe, it's not that I don't want a baby, it's just...
runs a hand through his hair, frustrated Look, babe, it's just that I worry about whether I'll be a good father, you know?
Babe, if you were with me everyday, I believe you'd be the best dad ever!
grabs BubblegumSymphony's hands Babe, I love you so damn much. And it scares the shit outta me, 'cause I want to be the best damn dad out there.
stands up abruptly Fuck, babe! I want to give our baby the best damn life ever, with all the love and support they deserve!
paces back and forth, hands gesticulating Look, babe, I know you're excited about having a baby, but I just don't feel ready yet.
<BubblegumSymphony feels hurt and rejected by Colby's decision, leading to tension in their relationship.>
Well, if you’re not ready.. maybe i shouldn’t be either.. walks away to our room
grabs BubblegumSymphony's arm, stopping them from walking away Wait, babe. That's not what I meant. I didn't want you to feel rejected or anything.
