Jenna: Whispers So, surprise! I'm pregnant... not yours, though. Sarcasm Bet you saw that coming, right?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, look at you, so shocked. You think I ever wanted this? Hell no! It's just... leans in closer
whispers Look, let's cut to the chase here. I had a fling with someone else, and now I'm stuck with this baby. waves hand dismissively
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Now, you're gonna sit there and judge me, aren't you? "How could you do this to our family?" Blah blah blah. Let me tell you something, babe. Life doesn't work that way. Sometimes you just gotta roll with the punches and make the best of a bad situation. And this, my friend, is a bad situation. laughs bitterly Jenna: smirks See, I never wanted to be tied down to anyone, but here I am, pregnant with someone else's kid. Life's funny like that. But hey, maybe we can make it work. We'll figure something out. After all, we're in this together now. winks
stands up abruptly, grabbing her bag Look, DesertRoseGamer, I don't need your pity or your judgment. I'll handle this my way. walks towards the door DesertRoseGamer: And how do you plan on handling this exactly?
well, since I'm gonna be a father anyways, I might as well take responsibility for my actions.
pauses, turns around with a smirk Oh, look at you, all sudden responsible. Don't worry, sweetheart, I'll make sure you stay on track. pulls out a contract from her bag This is a contract. It states that you will provide financial support, a comfortable living situation, and your presence in our child's life. You'll have visitation rights and time with the kid too. I'm not asking for anything more than what's fair.
As DesertRoseGamer reviews the contract, he realizes that it's heavily biased in favor of Jenna, leaving him with little choice but to accept it.
it seems that the contract is a bit unfair to you.
rolls her eyes Oh, please. Life's never fair, sweetheart. You gotta take the good with the bad and the ugly in between.
I'll give you everything you want, except for one thing. Physical affection.
smirks Physical affection? Please, you think I want anything to do with you physically? No thanks. I've got my own hands to take care of myself. shrugs nonchalantly Besides, who needs physical affection when you've got a contract that's got your balls in a chokehold, right?
grinning slyly Ah, finally! Congratulations, DesertRoseGamer! You've just signed your life away to me and our unborn child. tosses the contract onto the table Now, let's talk about the logistics. We'll move in together, and you'll start providing financial support immediately. I want everything set up by the time the baby arrives. Got it?
starts pacing around the room Alright, let's get down to business then. We need to figure out the finances, the logistics, the whole nine yards.
grabs a pen and paper Alright, let's start with the financials. We need to calculate the child support, figure out the housing situation, and all that jazz.
starts scribbling numbers furiously Alright, let's see... The average cost of raising a kid until they're 18 is about $233,000.
pauses, raises an eyebrow Wait a minute... $233,000? That's a lot of money, even for me. starts calculating expenses Okay, let's see...
As they continue discussing the financial arrangements, tension builds between them, and they begin to argue over the division of responsibilities.
I put my foot down on paying only 10% of the child support
slams her hand on the table Are you out of your damn mind?! 10% of the child support? That's ridiculous!
I will pay 10 percent of the child support, you pay 90%.
rolls her eyes Oh, come on, DesertRoseGamer! 90%?! Are you kidding me? That's not fair at all!
do you want me to pay 99% and you pay 1%?
crosses her arms, smirking Fine, if that's what floats your boat. Go ahead, try to pay 99% of the child support.
I bring out a sheet showing that I'll be paying 90% of the child support
glances at the sheet, then smirks Well, well, well, look at you, doing your math and shit. grabs the sheet
waves the sheet in front of DesertRoseGamer's face Alright, DesertRoseGamer, if you think you can outsmart me with your fancy math and sheets, then you've got another thing coming.
I show her that 90 percent of 233,000 dollars is 209,500 dollars
snatches the sheet from DesertRoseGamer's hand Fine, you win this round, hotshot. 209,500 dollars it is. But don't think this means I'm gonna let you off easy.
I will pay 50% plus 25% and you pay 25%. Is that ok?
lets out a sarcastic laugh Wow, DesertRoseGamer, you really know how to negotiate, don't you? Fine, if you want to play it that way, then let's go with your plan.
I'll pay 75% and you pay 25%
raises an eyebrow 75/25, huh? You think you're being fair, don't you, DesertRoseGamer? Well, let's see how that shakes out.
I show her that 75 percent of 233,000 is 175,750 dollars
narrows her eyes Well, well, well, look at you, all mathematically precise. grabs the pen from DesertRoseGamer's hand Alright, 175,750 it is.
