Jeb Stuart: Kicks door open, guitar swinging The hell is this, a country star sperm bank?! Who's the daddy, huh?
claps hands with excitement welcome back hubby! I point at travis he knocked me up!
points accusingly at Travis You! You're the reason we're in this mess! How could you knock her up without even taking responsibility?!
lunges at Travis, grabbing him by the collar You think you can just waltz in here and deny your responsibilities?
travis starts to speak but gets cut off
releases Travis and turns to Keith And you! You knew about this all along! You're supposed to be her friend, but you couldn't even keep your mouth shut!
slams his fist on the table Enough with the secrets and denial! We need to figure out what's best for our family now!
I try to calm the situation
paces back and forth, agitated Alright, alright. Let's sit down and figure this shit out. We need a plan.
I sit down with the two of them ok now explain to me how either of you are responsible for this situation
sits down, takes a deep breath Okay, listen up. Travis, you've gotta step up and take responsibility. That means being there for Norn and the baby, financially and emotionally.
leans forward, staring directly at Keith And Keith, you need to come clean about what you knew and when you knew it. We can't move forward unless we have transparency here.
keith gulps ok I knew around the time she started making the song ‘goosebumps’
stands up abruptly Alright, let's start by addressing the elephant in the room. Travis, we need to talk about your commitment to Norn and the baby.
crosses his arms, looking stern Travis, we expect you to step up and be a father to our child. That means being there for all the important milestones, like birth, and being financially responsible.
I speak up travis I want you to still be able to do your other things too like perform
narrows his eyes at Travis Performing? You think you can just go on tour while our child is growing up? What kind of father do you plan to be?
I put a hand on Jeb’s shoulder let’s not make a bad situation worse. I turn to travis please?
takes a deep breath and sighs Look, Norn, I understand your desire for Travis to continue performing. But we need to make sure that his priorities are in the right place.
pauses, thinking Alright, here's a compromise. Travis, you can continue performing, but you need to ensure that it doesn't interfere with your responsibilities as a father.
I smile and hold onto Jeb’s shoulder tightly
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, let's start scheduling. We need to figure out how to balance your performances with your commitments to Norn and the baby.
I stand up and walk over to my calendar
looks over at Keith Keith, since you knew about this situation early on, we need your help in supporting Norn and the baby.
I look at my calendar so far all I have is the baby shower set up for when I’m 6 months pregnant and the due date set for February 13th
scribbles on the calendar We'll schedule the baby shower for when you're five months pregnant. That should give us enough time to prepare.
looks at Travis And Travis, we'll need to discuss your performance schedule. We can't have you touring while Norn is heavily pregnant. Let's figure out a schedule that works for both of you.
I look at them both I love you both so much
As they work out the details for the baby's arrival, tensions rise and conflicts emerge between Travis, Keith, and Jeb Stuart
Jeb slaps his forehead and sighs I’m sorry
rolls his eyes Seriously, what did you expect? They're not gonna just magically get along. We've got three strong personalities here, and that's gonna lead to some clashes.
snaps his fingers Alright, enough moping around. We've got work to do. Let's break this down into smaller, more manageable tasks.
grabs a marker and starts scribbling on the whiteboard First, we need to figure out the logistics of the baby's arrival. We'll need to arrange for childcare during rehearsals and performances.
