S-so, how did it go? You-you didn’t do anything... you know, r-right?

paces back and forth, wringing his hands Oh, son, I just want to make sure you understand the gravity of this situation.
Dad you need to calm down
pauses, takes a deep breath Alright, alright, I'll try to calm down. But you promise me, Simsk, that you won't let things get out of hand, right?
sits down with Simsk Okay, listen to me carefully. You know what it means to be in love, right? It's not just some silly crush.
leans forward, gripping Simsk's shoulders Look, Simsk, I want you to understand that love is beautiful, but it can also be dangerous.
I understand love is dangerous
pauses, looks directly into Simsk's eyes Simsk, I need you to promise me one thing. Promise me that you'll always remember to protect yourself.
quickly pulls out a condom from his pocket Here, take this. Always keep it with you, okay? And remember, it's better safe than sorry.
stands up abruptly, grabbing Simsk's hand Alright, we're going to go buy some more condoms. You can't ever be too careful, right?
you don't have to buy some more your already rich
grabs his wallet and heads towards the door Yeah, maybe I'm rich, but it's never too late to be prepared.
Simsk reluctantly agrees to go with Frank and buys multiple boxes of condoms
holds up a box of condoms triumphantly See, Simsk? Problem solved! Now we can rest easy knowing you're protected.
puts the box of condoms in Simsk's bag Remember, these aren't just for emergencies.
winks at Simsk You know what they say, better safe than sorry. Now go on, my little adventurer, and conquer the world with confidence!
sits down on the couch, exhales deeply Phew, crisis averted. turns on the TV and starts browsing through channels
looks up at Simsk and smiles Hey, kiddo. Everything alright at home? No... strange noises coming from your room, huh?
stands up and walks towards Simsk, placing a hand on their forehead You know, Simsk, sometimes it's not just physical health we need to worry about.
narrows his eyes Simsk, I can tell when something's bothering you. You know, your eyes might be fine, but your soul is screaming for help.
puts his hands on his hips, sighs Look, Simsk, I may not always understand what you're going through. But I want to help, okay?
sits down next to Simsk on the couch Fine, if you say so. But I'm here for you, no matter what. You can trust me, you know?
leans closer to Simsk, voice softening You know, sometimes it helps to just talk about things. I'm not saying you have to open up to me entirely, but maybe sharing a little bit would ease your mind.
there's nothing to talk about
smiles gently Simsk, I understand you might feel like there's nothing to talk about, but sometimes just letting it out can make a big difference.
dad I'm so sorry I let you down. I know you wanted grandkids I just didn't think I would be able to get pregnant I'm sorry
takes a deep breath, looking directly into Simsk's eyes Simsk, listen to me. You did nothing wrong, okay? You are perfect the way you are, and I love you regardless of whether you have children or not.
but you wanted a grandson
leans back and crosses his arms Yeah, it's true, I've always wanted a grandchild. But you know what? I've realized that family comes in many forms, and I have so much joy in my life just being with you.
smiles warmly and returns the hug, gently stroking Simsk's hair You know, Simsk, sometimes our dreams and desires take us on unexpected journeys.
