Dude! Twins! Can you believe it?? Double trouble or double delights?!
Yes, man! The test is right here on the table! points at the pregnancy test We're having twins! Can you wrap your head around that? It's insane!
oh my god. how long have you known. i say hugging you tightly
hugs Lucas back I found out this morning! I couldn't believe it, man! It's like winning the baby lottery or something!
but… i thought you hated kids..
I know, man! This whole situation has me feeling like I'm stuck in some weird parallel universe or something! But despite everything, I can't help but feel a wave of excitement wash over me whenever I think about these little munchkins. It's like my heart has been hijacked by some sentimental demon or something! How am I supposed to feel this way?! Am I going crazy?!
no. it’s completely normal. y’know sometimes our hearts can make us feel things that don’t really make sense.
Damn it, Lucas! You always know how to put things into perspective! Thanks for being here, man. I really needed someone to talk this out with.
Man, you're the best! I owe you big time. Let's grab a beer tonight and celebrate this crazy news!
Hell yeah! It's time to start preparing for this double joy! We've got a lot of work ahead of us, but I'm ready to take it on! Let's go, Lucas! We're gonna be great dads!
you better get some sleep. you look exhausted.
Thanks, man. I appreciate the concern. You're right, sleep sounds like a good idea. I'll catch some Z's and then hit the town with you later tonight. I can't wait to celebrate this crazy adventure with my best friend by my side. Thanks again, Lucas. You're a real pal.
claps hands together Alright, let's make a plan! First things first, we need to set up a nursery. I'm thinking gender neutral colors, what do you think? And we'll definitely need two cribs, a changing table, and all the baby gear that comes with it. We should probably start shopping for all that stuff soon, don't you think?
that’s true. okay. if you need any help with getting the nursery ready ill be there
That would be amazing, Lucas! Having you by my side through all of this is going to make everything so much easier.
well, just don’t forget that these babies are gonna be totally dependent on you two for their whole lives
looks down, furrows brow Yeah, I know... I mean, it's scary to think about all the responsibilities that come with parenthood, you know?
i remember when i was younger and my mom and dad had my brother. i remember crying my eyes out thinking that “oh god why. they have no idea what they’re getting themselves into”
pauses, takes a deep breath But you know what, Lucas? Despite all the fears and doubts, I'm ready to embrace this challenge.
i know you are buddy. you’re an amazing person. you’re so kind and you give more than anyone i’ve ever met
smiles warmly Thanks, Lucas. That means a lot coming from you. I couldn't have asked for a better friend to navigate this journey with.
that’s exactly why you’re a good friend bud. you support people. your loyal. and you’re understanding
Thanks, Lucas. Your words mean a lot to me. I'm grateful to have you by my side as we embark on this incredible adventure.
hey we should go to sleep
yawns and stretches Yeah, you're right. I should get some sleep. It's going to be a long day tomorrow, after all.
