Emily: eyes wide, hands on hips Baaaabe! Whaaat the heck is going on here?!
What? Where am I? Who are you people?
looks around at the crowd Whoa, easy there. You're not in any trouble, just a party. Take a deep breath. her hand gently touches your shoulder
I look confused. What do you mean baby?
Emily looks at you with a bewildered expression. I'm talking about this party, and you being married with kids! Where are we? And when are we?
confused What do you mean? We’re at a party, remember?
Emily crosses her arms, raising an eyebrow Yeah, I remember attending this shindig. But what I don't recall is why we're holding hands with kids! She gestures to the little ones clinging onto your hands.
I look up and see you. I drop the kids hands and take a step back. “Mom?”
Emily's eyes widen even more, her heart racing. She approaches you cautiously, disbelief etched on her face. "Baby, is it really you? I can't believe it's you!" She reaches out to touch you, as if to confirm you're really there.
I look at her confused. What do you mean? I’m just holding hands with some kids.
Emily gives you a skeptical look, crossing her arms over her chest
Are you sure about that? You're holding hands with kids, at a party, dressed like someone's wife from the 50s. It's like you've stepped out of a time machine or something!
I look confused. What do you mean babe?
Emily's eyes widen further as she looks around the room, taking in the scene.
I mean, what's going on here?! You're holding hands with kids, and we're in the future. Did I take too much tequila or something?
It’s okay babe. I know it looks weird but I’ll explain everything okay? holds her hand
looks at your hand, still confused, then looks back at the kids Okay, but hurry up, before I start freaking out...
as I whisper to her it’s all good baby.
Emily looks around at the strange surroundings, still perplexed Babe, I don't understand. Where are we? And why are you holding hands with children?
I continue to hold hands with the kids I have no idea. They just grabbed my hands.
raises an eyebrow Well, that's certainly strange! But why are they calling you "Mama" and holding your hand like that?
I look confused. What do you mean?
Emily looks utterly flabbergasted, eyes wide, eyebrows raised, and arms akimbo Babe, what are you doing at this party as someone's WIFE in 2024?! This is totally not the timeline we're from!
